The current film and movie market was unprofessional indeed. Anyone could become an actor.
Mo Liuxi spent over twenty minutes on the stage criticizing the market, then ended his speech with, âIâve said what I should say. Thatâs what Iâve seen and heard and thought when I worked in the movie and film industry abroad. You can do what I suggest, or you can not. Thatâs your decision to make. Iâm not running a film company, and Iâm not investing in any film either.â
Finished, he walked off the stage in an elegant manner.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then, thunderous applause was heard.
The meeting was over.
Nian Junting stood up. Once he moved a foot, he saw a large group of people move toward Mo Liuxi and his mother, and surrounded them immediately.
He was planning to have a short conversation with Morrison, but now, he had to give up.
He stood some distance away, watching them, carefully observing Morrisonâs face. The longer he watched, the quicker his heart beat.
She looked quite similar to Luosang.
With a heavy heart, he walked outside.
Lu Kang drove the car over. Seeing the sour look on Nian Juntingâs face, he felt heavy-hearted too. âMr. Nian, howâs the meeting?â He said.
âGood,â Nian Junting said woodenly.
âWhy are you so unhappy then?â Lu Kang wondered.
âLu Kang, do a background check on two people for me, as soon as possible,â said Nian Junting.
âWho?â
âMorrison and Mo Liuxi from Luoxi Films.â
Lu Kang paused briefly.
âI think Morrison might be Luosangâs mother,â Nian Junting said, âMo Liuxi might be her brother.â
Lu Kangâs mouth dropped open in shock.
âMr. Nian, you canât think that sheâs Miss Xuâs mother only because her last name included âMoâ.â Lu Kang said.
âItâs too coincidental.â Nian Junting responded with a few simple words.
Morrison showed up suddenly, bought Yi Group, and Mo Liuxi lived next door to Luosang.
âAnd, Morrison looks a little similar to Luosang,â Nian Junting said. âShe purchased Yi Group and changed the name of that company into Luoxi. Maybe thatâs a combination of her son and daughterâs names. Luo, Xi.â
Lu Kang was enlightened. âThat sounds possible. It would be great news. If Morrison is really Miss. Xuâs mother, Miss. Xuâs family background will be considered so much better than before. Morrison family from Luxembourg is one of the top 100 companies in the world. In this case, youâll never need to worry that your grandpa might be opposed to your marriage. After all, he values family background the most.â
âI hope sheâs not,â Nian Junting said a while later.
âWhy?â Lu Kang didnât understand. âDonât you want Miss. Xu to reunite with her mother?â
âItâs not like that,â Nian Junting rubbed his forehead. âJust now, I accidentally offended Morrison.â
Lu Kang was speechless.
âAlright, Mr. Nian, you donât need to use âaccidentallyâ. Itâs really normal for you to offend other people. But, if Morrison really is Luosangâs mother... In that case, you have already offended your future mother-in-law and brother-in-law...â
âWhy do I feel so good about it?â Lu Kang thought. âYou shouldnât be so sharp-tongued. You deserve it.â
...
Huzhuang was an hourâs drive from Xia City, an hour and a half away from the karaoke club that Ji Chuan had mentioned.
Nian Junting and Lu Kang had a quick dinner at a restaurant on their way back.
About eight in the evening, he got a phone call from Luosang. âHave you arrived at Xia City safely?â She asked.
âYeah.â
He felt comfortable, as she had started to call him when he didnât come home, and worry about him while he was driving at night. âIâll be home in an hour.â
âAh, itâs okay. You can play longer.â
Nian Junting had moved a leg. Hearing her words, he paused and asked, âLeng Shuangwei might be here tonight. Arenât you worried or jealous at all?â
