The Villain's Contract Lover

Chapter 101-110

Chapter 101 - Marriage ("Don't be afraid, WanWan. I am here for you.") (2)

Xu WanZhi stood up and pulled away from him. "Shen Yi, I don't know what had happened between the two of us that gave you the wrong idea that we are very close to each other but I am with Mu ZhenYu now, despite the fact that Huanyu had gone bankrupt..."

She was only half way before when Shen Yi interrupted her. "WanZhi, I know you have sympathy for Mu ZhenYu, which was why you chose to stay with him even after Huanyu had gone bankrupt. I even know that she had already gone home with him and met with his family. But, WanZhi, I can wait. Do you understand? I can wait until your sympathy for him has passed."

Xu WanZhi looked at him coldly, "What I have for him is not sympathy."

"What is it then? To marry into a prestigious family? WanZhi, the Shen's rival the Mu's as far as statuses go," said Shen Yi in a low voice. "Why would you want to waste your time on him and kiss up to his grandmother and stepmother instead of giving the Shen's a chance? My parents are very easy going and you'd know if you meet them."

Shen Yi looked behind her as he talked. Noticing something odd in his look, Xu WanZhi, too, turned around quickly. She saw a slightly chubby man who immediately went inside of the stairway after giving them a look.

The chubby man looked very family but Xu WanZhi couldn't quite recall who he was right away. When she turned back around, she saw an indescribable look on Shen Yi.

It looked like Shen Yi knew that man.

Xu WanZhi suddenly recalled what that chubby man was – the night of Bai Fei's birthday, Mu ZhenYu brought a few of Bai Fei's bodyguards and beat up a chubby man. That was the same chubby man that Mu ZhenYu had beaten up.

He was one of Mu XueLin's. Mu XueLin was a cunning one. He pretended that everything was fine and dandy but secretly sent someone to follow her... did the mean the chubby man had heard all of Shen Yi's crazy words?

Xu WanZhi gritted her teeth and violently shoved the script inside of her purse. "Pardon me."

The audition of "Plainness" went smoothly. Once the audition was over, the director team announced on the spot that Xu WanZhi would be second female lead.

Even though Xu WanZhi tried very hard to pour all of her concentration and effort into the script, but she was still bothered by what had happened before the audition.

She didn't know what Mu XueLin would do with that piece of information but she felt that it's best she told Mu ZhenYu the entire incident so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding.

That being said, this incident could be looked at differently. Plus, the entertainment circle was a messy place to begin with. This might be nothing to Mu ZhenYu originally but, had she made a point of bringing it up purposefully, would make it seem like she had something to hide.

She debated between the two possibilities and wasn't able to make a decision right away.

She hadn't seen Mu ZhenYu the entire day and she just locked herself up at home and watched drama on TV while enjoying her fried chicken. She wanted to use other beautiful romance to heal her own heart.

She received a call from Xiao Yuan at 8 PM. "Hello, WanZhi-jie. What are you doing right now?"

Xu WanZhi recalled that Xiao Yuan had "Plainness"'s script in hand that afternoon and exhorted her spent time studying it and familiarizing herself with it and appreciate this opportunity that didn't come easily. Xu WanZhi, on the other hand, had spent way too much time worrying about matters related to Mu ZhenYu and hadn't been listening to what Xiao Yuan had told her.
