“So, this script for the mystery genre also incorporates thoughts about human nature?” In the restaurant, Xing Shu was still talking to Jin MO about the new script he was writing. She rarely chatted so happily with the opposite sex. The smile on her face became much more sincere, and her eyes were bright. “Actually, I like your scripts very much. It always adds something that makes people think deeply.” For example, the ethics drama she had watched always reflected some philosophical problems.
Jin MO raised his head and traced the rim of the cup with his fingers for a few seconds. “I like that ethics script too. At that time, I didn’t even want it to be made into a television drama. I kept feeling that no actors could do justice to the male and female leads I created. It was fortunate that the actors who were chosen were considered rather successful in the end.”
“In my heart, you’re a real artist.” This was also the conclusion Xing Shu had come to in the library. Jin MO was the most talented screenwriter. He had a lot of scripts on his hands, and every one of them could fetch top dollar. When he was interviewed by the media, he even said that the scripts that were filmed into television dramas were not the ones he was most satisfied with. The works he was most satisfied with had already been destroyed by him. When he said this, his tone was indifferent and casual. It was as if he had created a world and seen the beauty of that world. Then—with arrogance and satisfaction—he destroyed that world.
“Senior, you really haven’t changed.” Xing Shu stirred the coffee in her cup and slowly lowered her eyelashes. Just then, her cell phone rang again. When she saw Cheng Xingyang’s name flashing on the screen, she hung up without hesitation. However, Cheng Xingyang did not give up and called again.
Cheng Xingyang was like an angry lion at this moment. If Xing Shu was standing before him, she would definitely be torn apart by him! A drinking buddy had just sent him photographs of Xing Shu and Jin MO having a meal together. Cheng Xingyang hit the roof and kicked several chairs over in fury. He could not understand why the woman he despised could get up close and personal with Jin MO! Jin MO looked good-tempered, but he was actually very aloof!
Cheng Xingyang was bristling with anger. He called Xing Shu but she did not pick up. He found out the location of the restaurant and drove over. Xing Shu, this ungrateful woman! He had spoiled her too much in the past, which was why she was so presumptuous! Xing Shu did not know that Cheng Xingyang was on the way. After dinner, she took the initiative to foot the bill, but was told that the bill had been paid.
Jin MO stood at the door and rested his suit jacket on his arm. “I am a member of this restaurant and can get a discount. It would be a waste not to use it.”
Xing Shu smiled. Why wouldJin MO care about the discount? It was just that the gentleman in him was not used to women paying the bill. Her eyes curved. “Then I’ll transfer the bill amount after the discount—to you later.”
Jin MO smiled as well, his eyes gentle. “No need. Just give me some suggestions the next time I write a script.”
“Okay.” Xing Shu agreed immediately. “As long as I can help, I’ll definitely do my best.” Just then, a supercilious sports car stopped not far away. Her heart skipped a beat.
Cheng Xingyang got out of the car in high dudgeon. When he saw Xing Shu and Jin MO chatting happily, his eyes burned with anger. “Xing Shu! How many times are you going to make me a cuckold?! Can you have some shame?!” He glanced at Jin Mo. He lost his rationality and mocked, “Xing Shu, don’t tell me you really think Jin MO will like you? Have you heard about his relationship with Jiang Yao? Look at how much Jiang Yao has done for him. Has he even looked at Jiang Yao? Even if he slept with you, it would not mean anything. You won’t be able to marry into the Jin family! Don’t think too highly of yourself!”
Xing Shu’s face darkened. Before she could speak, she heard Jin MO remark. “Young Master Cheng, do you always speak so harshly to your fiancée?” The word ‘fiancee’ hit a raw nerve in Cheng Xingyang and he did not hide the disgust on his face at all, as if Xing Shu was trash. He felt disgusted just by looking at her. “Who does Xing Shu think she is? She’s only worthy of such an attitude from me. Jin MO, don’t tell me you feel sorry for her? There are so many women who have had their heart broken by you, Do you feel sorry for them? Back then, Jiang Yao was rejected by you in public. After that, she started sleeping around wantonly, tarnishing her reputation with a revolving door of men. But, I don’t see you being affected at all. You are so hard-hearted. What right do you have to criticize me?” Cheng Xingyang looked very smug when he said this. He did not care at all that Jiang Yao was his cousin..
