Chapter 79 - Consciousness of Danger
Chapter 79: Consciousness of Danger
For Wen Xue, Mo Li was just a little girl starting out. Even if it was exposed that this little girl was being bullied, Wen Xue would have ways to resolve it.
However, Quan Yu at the surveillance room did not agree with Wen Xue. Even though the surveillance couldn’t capture the voices, the way Wen Xue looked proved that she was not a good person!
“So what kind of role you’ve given her in this movie?” Quan Yu turned to Nie Li to ask.
Nie Li’s fingers that swept the screen suddenly paused as a meaningful smile appeared on her face. Finally, puberty has kicked in for this child. Now this is going to be so interesting.
Seeing how much he cares about this girl, when he finds out about the role I’ve given her, he might even get angry at me. Now that is even rarer than the blue moon!
Technically speaking, Quan Yu should call Nie Li his aunt. Nie Li’s mother was Quan Yu’s great grandfather’s adopted daughter. Then after Nie Li’s mother married, Nie Li was reunited with her biological father. So Nie Li was the child of two powerful families, Nie Family and Quan Family.
Even though Nie Li was Quan Yu’s aunt, she was not much older than Quan Yu. One of the reasons Nie Li came to Pearl River was to check on Quan Yu, she was worried that he might die here. But to her surprise, the kid was basically radiant with good health, a complete opposite of the lifeless zombie Quan Yu was at home.
When Nie Li arrived at Quan Yu’s home, she realized the kid was working on the recovered car accident footage. The other reason Nie Li came was for Mo Zheng’s contract so she was surprised to find the conspiracy behind it.
However, be it Mo Li or Mo Zheng, for Nie Li, they were just tools to earn money. That was the essence of a celebrity. As long as they had market value and could provide continuous income, then Nie Li would invest in them.
Nie Li knew this was an inhuman way to look at the industry but it was how the industry work. She had the pulse on the idolization culture, that was why she was the best agent around. She fed on the brainless fans.
This incident on Mo Zheng was not a small loss for her. When she heard it was Mo Li who drove the car, Nie Li was incredulous, because she had met Mo Li before.
Mo Li had the looks that was the rare combination of beauty and innocence. It was not that clear when she was a child but now, Mo Li could be considered an ethereal beauty. Therefore, Nie Li talked to Quan Yu and managed to swindle the footage from him.
Honestly, Quan Yu also wanted to see the girl on the big screen, and find out where her bottom line was. He was surprised that Mo Li would encounter such a bullying on her first set.
“Blur out the face and send this video out.”
Nie Li was shocked when she heard that. What does he mean?
Quan Yu definitely wouldn’t blur Wen Xue’s face to protect her. But he should understand that if the bullying video is leaked, while it would damage Wen Xue’s career, it would affect Mo Li as well. People will want to get to know the victim, the poor girl who was bullied. Her latest new with the car accident will be dug out and that will ruin Mo Li’s career in the entertainment business before it even started! Nie Li had no intention of having the latest treasure that she found scrutinized and talked about by those brainless netizens.
Quan Yu was shocked that Nie Li’s goal was to pull Mo Li into the entertainment industry. And even more surprising was the fact that the arrogant little girl had agreed to it. Mo Li had once again confused him.
…
Inside the dressing room, Mo Li calmly looked into Wen Xue’s eyes. “Are you done? Then I’ll be going now.”
Wen Xue was shocked that she would be so fully ignored. Naturally she would not take this sitting down. “You little bitch, do you know who you’re talking to? I can have your life ended with a snap of my fingers. You better kneel down to apologize to me!”
Mo Li was unfazed. She continued evenly, “Miss Wen Xue, is it? Having a consciousness of danger is a good thing but don’t you worry, I temporarily will pose no threat to you. But I have indeed watched a few movies of yours. Miss Wen, you do have a pretty face, but that’s about it.”
“What do you mean?!” Wen Xue was fit to explode. She saw the ordinary clothes Mo Li wore and she chuckled derisively, “You’re just a peasant girl, it’s beneath me to get angry with you. But since we’re in the same circle, you better be careful. When you see me coming, I want you to turn around and walk away or else…” The threat lingered.
Mo Li raised her bow with interest. At Pearl River, this was the first time she was openly threatened. That did not happen often for member of the Mo Family.
The door to the dressing room suddenly opened and An Wan stomped in. She looked at Wen Xue, “Do you really think you own the world because you have a little popularity? For someone like Mo Li, she wouldn’t need to open her legs for rich old men to get roles like you! She is too good and too pretty for that!”
