Chapter 171 - The Return of Xiao Yue
Chapter 171: The Return of Xiao Yue
Old Madam Xu was shocked. She did not expect Mo Li to carry so much resources on her. How could a newbie be given so many opportunities and special treatments? Was it because her surname was Mo? If that was the case, why didn’t the Mo Family just set up an entertainment company for Mo Li? Since Mo Li was the one bringing in all the big bucks, why not reap the benefit themselves?
“Speaking of which, our Sweetie is also participating in the filming of the Lady in the Snow. You heard of Chen Ming, right? She will be acting alongside him.” If there was a question of who was Mo Li’s biggest fan, the answer was undeniably, Old Madam Mo. If not for her advanced age, Old Madam Mo would personally set up the fan club for Mo Li. Furthermore, Chen Ming was the heartthrob from Old Madam Mo’s generation. When she heard that Mo Li was going to work with him, Old Madam Mo was so excited.
Lady in the Snow? Both Old Madam Mo and He Sen were shocked. That was one of their company’s biggest projects this year. Old Madam Xu had been trying to get herself into that project but she was unable to find the middleman to do so. Mo Li turned out to be the perfect candidate. If Mo Li was willing to help her make some connections, Old Madam Xu could earn a lot from this, but after what had happened…
Even though Old Madam Xu did not like Mo Li, she decided to not go against money. Furthermore, after she noticed how feeble He Sen had gotten, Old Madam Xu had decided to latch onto someone more powerful. Instantly she turned a sickeningly sweet smile on Mo Li and her previous scowl disappeared fully.
Old Madam Xiao took a glance at Mo Li. Since when did the girl become so accomplished. In just a few words, she managed to silence that old hag from the Xu Family.
OId Madam Xiao knew that Mo Li had dipped her toes in the entertainment industry but she had no idea Mo Li had managed to garner such great results so soon. She was already working with top actors and earning endorsement deals with global brands. Before this, Old Madam Xiao thought Mo Li was just a brat who went around terrorizing others because of her family name, but now…
The Xiao Family had to readjust their plans too. They would have Mo Li and Xiao Yuan have more interactions. Xiao Yuan was going to enter politics in the future. With the support of a superstar wife, it would be very good for Xiao Yuan. Furthermore, this union would benefit both the Xiao Family and the Mo Family.
The meal was continued with every guest harboring their own ulterior motives.
The guests thought since the dishes were only meant to mock Old Madam Xu, they were not going to taste good. They did not expect the dishes to be so delicious.
Even someone like He Sen who was a great eater, couldn’t help but praise the cooking, “Who is the chef? I would like to hire him.”
“The dishes are all made by our Sweetie. Since we are the host, this is the least we can do.” This was another surprise for the guest. Elder Lin and Elder Xu were deeply envious of Elder Mo. They would have to wait for 100 years for their own granddaughter to cook for them!
As Mo Yu looked at these people shoveling down the food, he shook his head. But then again, these were Mo Li’s cooking, so he could understand the allure.
Mo Yun also kept glancing at Mo Li. She appeared to be a good mood and that infected him as well. Mo Yun had a rare smile on his face and that accentuated his good looks. It softened his normally stern demeanor and made him even more attractive.
Xiao Yue gripped the chopsticks tightly. Since the start of the party, other than the initial greeting at the door, Mo Yun had not spoken a word to her. Instead he only paid attention to Mo Li and the girls who chatted with Mo Li. Due to the incident at the ball, Xiao Yue was grounded for a long time. This was the first time she was allowed to attend a social event in a long time so she could not just go back empty-handed…
