Chapter 102: Chapter 102 - 102 Forced

Chapter 102: Forced Chapter 102: Forced Fu Han held back for a long time, but ultimately could only seethe a sentence, “You’re incredible, I have nothing to say.”

“Of course.” The words humility didn’t exist in Bai Wei’s dictionary, she said proudly with her face lifted, “Did you always think I was brainless before? Now, you’ve been proven wrong.”

Fu Han could no longer bear it and inevitably rolled her eyes.

Bai Wei leaned into Fu Han’s ear and whispered, “But there’s one thing I’m really curious about. Su Cheng is your boyfriend, Nan Qing likes him, how come you’re not angry at all? And I see Nan Qing doesn’t look jealous of you either, your rivalry seems too harmonious, doesn’t it?”

“That’s our business and not for you to worry about.” Fu Han’s expression cooled down as she spelled out slowly to Bai Wei, “Nan Qing is not you, she doesn’t have your strong mentality, so if you’re going to go crazy, don’t take it out on her.”

“Why would I go after her, it’s not her I’m chasing.” Bai Wei fiddled with the broken hairs by her ear, carrying an air of boldness mixed with seductive charm.

Fu Han composed herself, thought for a moment, and added, “I hope you don’t tell anyone a word about what you heard from me today, this… consider it my request.”

“No problem.” Bai Wei answered easily, her lips curling up to reveal neat teeth, “For He Xing’s sake, I can fulfill your request.”

“Bai Wei, if one day you get beaten up when you step outside, it’s nothing else, it’s because you mouth is just too provocative,” said Fu Han angrily, trembling all over, she flung her sleeves and walked away directly.

On the other side of the door, Nan Qing heard the footsteps and quickly ran towards the private room. After a short distance, she stopped, and leisurely made her way to the restroom.

On the way, she encountered Fu Han. They greeted each other and went their separate ways, while Bai Wei ran into Nan Qing when coming out of the restroom. They nodded at each other without speaking, which counted as a greeting.

In front of the huge restroom mirror, only Nan Qing was reflected. She saw that the fake smile on her face had disappeared, replaced by heaviness.

Bai Wei’s words were hard to hear, but undeniable truths. Nan Qing was of course jealous of Fu Han, but after setting her jealousy aside, she valued her friendship with Fu Han more.

Moreover, among the three of them, Fu Han had not done anything, it was Su Cheng who only had eyes for Fu Han in both his eyes and heart.

Nan Qing patted her cheeks, practicing her smile in the mirror. When she finally managed not to look bitter, she stepped out of the restroom.

Meanwhile, in the Michelin-starred private room, a “dispute” was taking place. Nan Qing returned just in time to see Luo Qinghe with an unpleasant expression, saying, “No need to say more, I’ve already given my response upon receiving the He Group’s email, and I will not change my decision.”

Fu Han looked meaningfully at Bai Wei, genuinely thinking Bai Wei had gone mad. She was actually suggesting that Luo Qinghe act in a movie, knowing full well that he had no acting experience whatsoever.

Bai Wei was neither upset nor annoyed, stirring her coffee with a delicate flower petal spoon. She turned her head to look at Fu Han, “Fu Han, do you see any downside to being a celebrity?”

“Doesn’t seem so.” Fu Han was utterly confused, wondering why Bai Wei was cueing her at this time, when all she really wanted was to be an emotionless spectator.

“Then what are the benefits?” Bai Wei pressed on, locking her sparkling eyes onto Fu Han, leaving her no escape.

All eyes in the room were on Fu Han, compelling her to seriously consider the question, “The benefits are having lots of fans and making a lot of money.”

Luo Qinghe leaned back in his chair and said leisurely, “Those perks are of no use to me; I don’t need that many people to like me, plus I’m not short of money.”

A fleeting look of defeat crossed Bai Wei’s face. She knew Luo Qinghe wasn’t short of money and that he had rejected the He Group’s email, but she just didn’t want to give up.

She turned her head to Fu Han, her eyes pleading for help.

Unfortunately for Bai Wei, Fu Han no longer wanted to be the tool person, she took out her phone and feigned ignorance.

Bai Wei stamped her foot in irritation and also took out her phone, but she was sending a WhatsApp message to Fu Han: “Fu Han, we’ve been through life and death together, are you really just going to stand by and watch?”

“I don’t like to be forced, nor do I like to force others,” said Fu Han earnestly, not that she couldn’t force Luo Qinghe, even if she could, she absolutely wouldn’t.

“This movie is very important to the He Family Group. Luo Qinghe may lack experience but is the most suitable candidate. If this movie flops, He Group is bound to go downhill,” Bai Wei typed rapidly, sending the message in mere seconds.

“What does that have to do with me?” In fact, as she said this, Fu Han’s heart was already pounding.

“Help me one more time and I’ll repay you with deep gratitude in the future,” Bai Wei blatantly pleaded with Fu Han.

Fu Han sighed and sent out a few lines of text.

After reading the message from Fu Han, Bai Wei fell into deep thought. Finally, gritting her teeth, she said to Luo Qinghe, “Step out for a moment, I have something to discuss with you alone.”

Luo Qinghe glanced at Nan Qing, but Nan Qing wasn’t looking at him, also bowing her head playing with her phone. He sighed inaudibly, got up, and left first, with Bai Wei immediately following.

With just three people left in the private room, Su Cheng hadn’t spoken much to Fu Han throughout the evening. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly spoke up, “Fu Han, what did you say to Bai Wei?”

Fu Han’s peripheral vision was fixed on Nan Qing, and she clearly saw Nan Qing’s back stiffen momentarily.

She smiled and said, “Actually, there’s no need to hide this matter. You guys should have realized that Bai Wei likes Luo Qinghe, right?”

Su Cheng’s back stiffened as well, he dared not even glance at Nan Qing.

Fu Han took a leisurely sip of her coffee, “Luo Qinghe turned her down, but Bai Wei didn’t plan on giving up. You all must have witnessed Bai Wei’s persistence today. I told Bai Wei that if she promises never to bother Luo Qinghe again, to request that he takes on this movie role, as a keepsake of her feelings.”

“Fu Han, you’re so smart, why didn’t I think of that?” Su Cheng praised without reservation, his expression exaggerated.

Nan Qing, pondering, said, “Actually… I think Lady Bai Wei and Brother Qinghe are quite a good match. They are truly similar individuals. If they were together, they probably wouldn’t quarrel over differing life philosophies.”

Fu Han looked at Nan Qing deeply, and after confirming Nan Qing was sincere, she agreed, “That’s true. Luo Qinghe always acts so aloof, but I think he’s quite lively when he argues with Nan Qing.”

A few minutes later, Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei returned to the room, the former with an air of heroic testimony and the latter with a smile that nearly reached her ears.

There was no need to ask. Bai Wei had gotten her wish.
