Chapter 290: She is Qin Muxuan
Qin Muxuan left the filming site as soon as she finished her work the next day. She checked the time on her phone. There was an hour left before she met Li.
The woman didn’t get in the van Yin Youting offered, but hailed a cab. Fortunately, the driver didn’t recognize her because of the mask and sunglasses.
The cab slowly headed towards the hotel after the driver knew the address.
Jian Xi had told Qin Muxuan that the president of an agency wanted to meet her before Jian Xi left. He planned to sign a contract with her. Qin Muxuan had started shooting films, but she didn’t have an agency. In fact, actors and actress needed their own agencies to promote them. Otherwise, Yin Youting would have to help Qin Muxuan find an assistant and a manager.
Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan attached greater importance to today’s meeting. ‘I can’t always trouble Youting. He has done me lots of favors.’
After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. After paying the bill, Qin Muxuan got out of the cab. She stepped into the hotel.
As soon as she entered, a waiter came up. “Excuse me. Are you alone?”
“No. Please take me to Mr. Li’s private room.”
“Okay. Follow me, please.”
The waiter led Qin Muxuan upstairs. They walked into the private room reserved for Li on the second floor.
As soon as Qin Muxuan stepped in, she saw Li who sat on a chair. She walked over hastily. “Mr. Li, sorry for keeping you waiting.” The woman took off her sunglasses.
Li glanced at Qin Muxuan. He was astonished. The president hadn’t expected that she was more gorgeous than her photos. His eyes changed. Li shook hands with Qin Muxuan immediately, grinning. “Ms. Qin, you’re very welcome here. Take a seat, please. I’ve ordered some dishes. Hope you would like them.”
Qin Muxuan sat opposite him, looking around the dishes on the table. She chuckled. “Thank you.”
“Ms. Qin, your assistant must have told you that our company invites you to join us in all sincerity.” Li smiled at her, stating his intention.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
As for the Li Group, Qin Muxuan had done some research. The company had been established in recent years. Although it was young, it had a good reputation in the entertainment industry. Countless actors and actress yearned for joining it.
However, Qin Muxuan was not familiar with agencies in China. She hesitated. “Mr. Li, you know that I’m just here, so I don’t know much about the conditions in China. I need some time to think it over.”
“Of course. But I hope you prefer our company. As long as you join us, you can select whatever you like from the company’s resources.”
In effect, terms offered by Li were inviting. Any actor or actress hoped to have the best resource. However, resources were not that significant to Qin Muxuan who longed for being in the same filming crew with Qin Xiaobai. “I appreciate that, Mr. Li. I’ll think it over.” Grinning, Qin Muxuan nodded.
“Since you said so, I rest assured. A toast to you, Ms. Qin.” Li was willing to sign a contract with her. After all, an actress bringing resources along with her was scarce. In addition, Qin Muxuan was the Hottest Female Star in M Country. With such a title, she would become popular in China soon.
The man kept toasting the woman in the following time. After a while, Qin Muxuan felt dizzy. “Sorry, Mr. Li. I can’t drink anymore.” She shook her hand.
However, Li didn’t plan to let her go. He again filled her goblet. “Please save my face.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan had no choice but to drink up.
A wry smile curled the corner of Li’s mouth after he saw the empty glass. “You’re indeed a good drinker, Ms. Qin.” The man fixed his lustful eyes on Qin Muxuan’s breasts.
The woman didn’t notice that. She had an upset stomach. Suppressing the sickness, Qin Muxuan rose from the chair. “Excuse me. I should go to the restroom.” Before Li could react, she covered her mouth and hurried out of the room.
In the ladies’ room, Qin Muxuan threw up all of the food she had eaten before. She curled up on the floor. After a while, she rose to her feet and staggered towards the sink.
The woman shook her head, trying to sober herself up. However, she didn’t have high tolerance towards alcohol. Too much wine made her groggy.
After washing her hands, Qin Muxuan stood before the sink for a long time. She didn’t leave the restroom until she gathered her wits together. However, she stumbled into Li as soon as she stepped out.
“Mr. Li, what brings you here?”
“Ms. Qin, are you all right?” Noticing that Qin Muxuan wobbled, Li strode over and tried to help her.
The woman shook her head. “I’m okay.” She wanted to pushed him away, but Li directly put his arms around her waist.
That made Qin Muxuan frown. “Mr. Li, I can walk by myself.”
She raised her hands, trying to nudge him away. However, he didn’t move an inch. She was dumbfounded, which made her sober up. “Mr. Li, please let go of me.”
“Ms. Qin, you’ve drunk too much. I’ll drive you home.” It was impossible for Li to let her go. He came here for Qin Muxuan. After saying that, he began to rub her waist.
His movement made her feel sick. Qin Muxuan tried her best to shove Li away. “Mr. Li, have some self-respect!”
Qin Muxuan strode away in her high-heels. However, she drank too much, so Li caught up with her in an instant.
“Don’t pretend to be a virgin. If you don’t have a sponsor, how could you join a filming crew as soon as you returned to China?” The man grabbed her from behind with a dirty smile on his face.
“Let go of me! Help! Help!” Qin Muxuan struggled, yelling. She tried to get rid of him.
Seeing that, Li decided to yank her back to the private room in case that someone would notice them.
At this time, a man’s low voice came in Qin Muxuan’s ear. “Let her go.”
Li turned around, finding it was Gu Zijin. “Mr. Gu… Why are you here?” Releasing his prey, Li spoke fawningly. “Sorry, Mr. Gu. I didn’t know that you and she…”
Before Li could finish his sentence, Gu Zijin punched Li in the face.
“Ouch!” Li collapsed onto the floor, covering his face and sniveling.
“Mr. Gu, please forgive me.” Li clambered back to his feet, begging.
Gu Zijin threw Li a cold glimpse. “Piss off.”
A trace of relief appeared on Li’s face. “Okay. Okay. I’ll leave now.” After saying that, Li hurried away.
Gu Zijin stared at Qin Muxuan concernedly. “Are you all right?”
The woman shook her head. She hadn’t gotten her thoughts together. “I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Gu.” Qin Muxuan looked up at Gu Zijin gratefully. ‘If he hadn’t come, I would have…’
“Let me drive you home.” Qin Muxuan didn’t get hurt, which relieved Gu Zijin.
“You don’t have to do that. I can go back by myself.” Qin Muxuan shook her head. She grabbed her bag on the chair and was about to leave. However, she stumbled.
Noticing that, Gu Zijin immediately stretched out his arms and held Qin Muxuan. She didn’t collapse onto the floor because of his help.
The familiar chest broke Qin Muxuan’s heart. She hardly held back her tears. Suppressing the emotion, the woman got rid of Gu Zijin instantly. “Thank you.”
Qin Muxuan was drunk, which made Gu Zijin sigh inwardly. “It’s not safe for you to go back alone.”
Somehow, Gu Zijin couldn’t help but care for her though he knew she was not Qin Muxuan.
“No worries. I can do it.” She struggled to repress her feeling. ‘If I stay with him any longer, I will lose control.’
‘She’s stubborn.’ Gu Zijin frowned. He directly lifted her up and strode out.
“God!” Qin Muxuan was stunned by his action. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
Gu Zijin hurried out of the hotel and put her in the passenger seat.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Gu Zijin turned to Qin Muxuan. “Tell me the address.”
Qin Muxuan’s heart was pounding because of Gu Zijin’s action just now. Avoiding his eyes, she replied awkwardly. “The International Hotel…”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin stepped on the gas immediately. The car cruised over to the hotel. The man pulled over at the entrance of the International Hotel in less than 20 minutes.
Gu Zijin helped Qin Muxuan enter the hotel. They slowly headed towards Qin Muxuan’s room. The woman was dizzy because of the red wine.
Gu Zijin opened the door with her room key, helping her in.
She lay on her bed with the help of Gu Zijin. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she closed her eyes and fell asleep in an instant.
Staring at the woman who had already fallen asleep, the man felt helpless. He tucked her in, finding there was a slender scar on her wrist.
Gazing at the scar, Gu Zijin was petrified. His eyes widened. ‘If she is not Qin Muxuan, how could she have this scar?’
