Chapter 408: I Can’t Let You In
Naturally, among those who were present, some of them had seen Xu Wei before. They also knew that he was totally worthy of the name as a top scriptwriter.
As for Qin Muxuan, in everyone’s eyes, she was just an unpopular and unknown actress. Some people even hadn’t heard of her.
And now, the top scriptwriter had asked the minor celebrity to discuss the plots with him, which was already very surprising, not to mention that Xu Wei was being so polite to her.
Xu Wei didn’t pay attention to the strange reactions of the people around him. He hurriedly confirmed the time when he could meet Qin Muxuan and was about to leave. He had to go back and continue watching the audition.
Xu Gui, who was standing next to them, tried to talk with him several times, but Xu Wei ignored her.
For him, Qin Muxuan was now his muse, and Xu Gui was a stranger he didn’t know. She was not worth any bit of his attention.
Xu Gui was furious but she didn’t dare to do anything to Xu Wei, so she could only take it all out on Qin Muxuan.
“No wonder she’s so arrogant. And she’s so certain that she’ll get the role. It turns out that she’s working with the scriptwriter. I wonder how much effort she has spent and what cost she has paid.”
These words were quite unpleasant to hear. It was almost like that she was saying that Qin Muxuan had slept with the scriptwriter.
Xu Gui let her jealousy get the better of herself, but those onlookers were neither blind nor stupid. Those who could work in the industry were all observant.
Anyone could tell that obviously Xu Wei was the one who had acted more enthusiastically just now.
Qin Muxuan glanced at Xu Gui coldly, and without saying anything, she gave her a shocking slap.
“You… you!” Xu Gui was so angry that her finger which pointed at Qin Muxuan kept trembling.
“What?” Qin Muxuan’s gaze were as cold as the moonlight, but her voice was still gentle.
“Miss Xu, since you can’t talk properly, I will teach you. Brother Huang, did you record what she just said?”
Huang Qi nodded. “Yes.”
Xu Gui was confused. “What are you up to?”
Qin Muxuan held her finger and pulled it down in a leisurely manner. “Nothing, I am a law-abiding person. What you just said earlier, in my opinion, can be defined as slander, so I’d like to send you a subpoena. Please remember to sign it.”
Xu Gui shook off her hand and wanted to shout abuse.
“You bitc…!”
“Miss Qin, do you need my help?” Xu Wei did not go far away and heard the dispute.
Xu Wei’s reappearance made Xu Gui’s curse stop abruptly.
“Yes, I do need your help,” Qin Muxuan did not plan to let Xu Gui continue pestering her. “Mr. Xu, please help me confirm if the one who’s got the role of the second female lead in this TV series is me or not.”
Xu Wei was slightly taken aback, but Xu Gui suddenly had a bad feeling about it.
“Of course, even though Qin Qingqing is currently the third female lead, I promised to you that I would increase her scenes and make her the second female lead.”
Xu Wei was also a smart person. Although he did not know what was going on, he could probably guess it. He was in a good mood right now, so he would not hesitate to support Qin Muxuan and said everything including adding scenes.
Xu Gui felt like she was about to faint. How…how…how could this woman be so lucky?!
She gritted her teeth with hatred, and the gazes that were directed towards her were like knives stabbing on her body.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Miss Xu, do you believe me now?”
Qin Muxuan gently curved her lips and her face was as pretty as snow. Her beauty was beyond words.
Xu Gui felt like she had seen a demon’s smile. She forced herself to say, “I lost the bet. What do you want me to do? Just say it!”
It was Qin Muxuan’s turn to be taken aback. She thought that for a person as bad as Xu Gui, she would probably try to deny it. She didn’t expect her to admit it like that. That was quite impressive.
She thought for a moment. “The two of you are really worthless to me, but what you did in the past was really disgusting. You shall post a statement on the Internet, including all the disgusting things you’ve done before. The main point is to tell everyone how you had framed Huang Qi. Remember to apologize properly.”
As she said this, she extended the index finger and middle finger of her right hand towards her own eyes. Then she flipped her wrist and pointed at Xu Gui’s pale face with her index finger. She still looked quite gentle, but her words sound threatening, “Write it properly. I’ll keep an eye on you.”
After saying that, she turned away from Xu Gui and Liu Manshi, and thanked Xu Wei, “Thank you for your help, Mr. Xu. I have something to deal with at home. I have to go now.”
Xu Wei’s gaze were full of admiration. Just now, the way Qin Muxuan warned Xu Gui was so cool. He couldn’t wait to write it into his script!
After Qin Muxuan left, Xu Wei left as well. Xu Gui also ran away with Liu Manshi. The men and women in the room were all chatting about what had just happened.
“Oh my God, did you see what Qin Xuan did just now?”
“I saw it. She was so cool!”
Two young girls were also chatting about what had happened just now. One of them covered her mouth, while the other put her hands upon her chest. Admiration was written all over their faces.
Qin Muxuan didn’t know all of that. She also didn’t know that after this incident was spread within the industry, she had been labeled as a woman who could not be provoked.
When Qin Muxuan reached home, she looked at the clock. Fortunately, it was still early, so there was more than enough time for her to cook.
On the way back, she sent messages to Gu Zijin and Xiaobai asking if they had time to come back for lunch. The two replied quickly but unfortunately, they didn’t have time to come back.
Alright then, she would deliver the lunch herself.
As soon as Qin Muxuan entered the villa, Xiaoxin threw herself into her arms.
“Mommy! You’re finally back. I missed you so much!” The little girl’s voice was sweet and soft like marshmallow, tugging at Qin Muxuan’s heartstrings.
She picked up Xiaoxin and apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Xiaoxin. I have been too busy recently, and I didn’t have much time to be with you.”
Xiaoxin was a generous and good child, so she waved her hand and forgave her. “It’s alright, mommy. I know that you’re busy making money so you can buy delicious food for me!”
Qin Muxuan chuckled and rubbed Xiaoxin’s smooth and tender cheeks. “Xiaoxin, you’re so nice. Today, I’ll cook your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, okay?”
“Okay!” Xiaoxin cheered and kissed Qin Muxuan on her cheek.
Qin Muxuan quickly prepared the food and divided it into two portions. The bigger one was for Gu Zijin. She would eat it with Gu Zijin and Xiaoxin. The other one was for Xiaobai.
Everything was ready. She held Xiaoxin’s hand with one hand, and carried the lunchboxes with her other hand. And they got into the car and went to the Gu Group.
“Sorry, Miss, if you don’t have an appointment, I can’t let you in,” the lady at the reception politely refused Qin Muxuan’s request to see Gu Zijin, and Qin Muxuan could read the disdain from her eyes.
