Chapter 1356: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (29)
Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow and then turned to stare at Shi Nianyao, asking, “Old and ugly investor?”
Shi Nianyao was hopping mad as she looked back at him. “Am I old? Am I ugly?”
The man burst out laughing.
She pouted angrily and complained, “I’ve finally discovered how baseless claims can be.”
Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow again.
Angrily, she took a sip of the soft drink and then turned to Mo Xicheng, saying in a low voice, “I’ll tell you something.”
Arching his eyebrow, he said, “Go on.”
She started giggling as she said, “A couple of years ago, some bored soul came up with a celebrity ranking based on face value. Best Actor Shen came in first, of course, but this person ranked you last. Right after that, the comment section was flooded with remarks saying you were dashing and your acting skills were great. They started to make guesses as to why you hadn’t made it big. Regarding this question alone, there were so many theories. Do you want to hear about them?”
Mo Xicheng replied, “I don’t, really.”
Looking at her cheeky face, he already knew that what she was about to say next would not be good news of any sort. So why would he be interested in it?
But that spoiled look on her was hilarious for Mo Xicheng.
She cleared her throat once and started, “But I want to tell you about it, so you have to listen whether you like it or not.”
Mo Xicheng: …
She continued, “The first thing they guessed was that you must be a rich second-generation heir of some corporation and kept a low profile because of your status. This guess was basically correct. The second theory was a little far-fetched. They said you were gay! Hahahaha!”
Mo Xicheng: …
Shi Nianyao widened her eyes and blinked, saying, “Actually, I did suspect that you might be gay. You were never in any scandals all these years, you never had a relationship, so I thought that you were surely gay.”
He replied, “It looks like I have to work hard to correct my reputation tonight.”
Shi Nianyao: …
She looked at his serious expression and her heart skipped a beat.
That was the end of her. She and her big mouth. Now she was in trouble!
Correct his reputation tonight… How else could he possibly do it?
Why did this man seem so evil all the time? He was perpetually trying to trick her!
Immediately, she fell silent.
At this point, Mo Xicheng asked, “And what about the third theory”
Shi Nianyao quickly replied, “None, I’m sure there’s none!”
If she were to say more, it was almost guaranteed that she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed the next morning.
Mo Xicheng held out his hand and said, “Good girl.”
Shi Nianyao: …
The two of them fell silent. The two women’s voices could be heard again.
“You may be here for a movie because you’re bored, but I’m here for my Chen Junjie!”
Chen Junjie was the actor who had vied with Mo Xicheng for the leading role during filming. Not only had he not been able to suck up to Qiao Yiyi successfully, but he had also eventually gotten Mo Xicheng’s initial supporting role.
“Chen Junjie is so popular now!”
“That’s right, my Big Brother Jie is really superb. I heard that when Best Actor Shen left, Big Brother Jie was supposed to take over the lead role, and it was that gigolo who got in the way. Huh, someone who depends on selling his body and pretty looks to climb the ladder… His films and acting skills surely suck! I think this movie is going to depend on Big Brother Jie to hold things together.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Nianyao was livid.
