The woman was wearing a light yellow cheongsam. She rose to stand, standing between the flowers and trees in the room. On her wrist was a jade bracelet. The bracelet was so smooth that it looked like it might drip water, which showed that it was expensive.
Her face looked much younger than her actual age. It seemed that time hadn't left any mark on her body. The only flaw was a scar on her forehead. She skilfully used her bangs to cover the scar. No flaws were allowed to ruin her beauty.
She looked up and saw Gong Mochen walking in. "What's with the news? I only found out that you and that girl announced your engagement this morning. You even brought her back to your villa?"
Gong Mochen walked over on his slender legs. His body was emitting a faint coldness. "Yes... Her dream is to marry me. For this, she drugged me, made me go to a party with her, and even found a reporter to expose the scandal.
"Of course, I have to announce that she's my fiancé. However, I'll be staying over at the Moonlight Club tonight."
He explained what had happened last night.
The woman chuckled and said, "Very well, let her have a taste of the man she loves being taken away! Well done, but you must remember her identity! Remember who her mother is!"
Her last words seemed to have been squeezed out of her deep throat, displaying her endless hatred.
Her hand touched the scar on her forehead, and her whole body was trembling, as if she had remembered something terrifying.
Gong Mochen walked over in a few steps and held the woman. "I know. Your heart isn't good, don't be agitated."
The woman's hand held Gong Mochen's hand. "Mochen, I've suffered all my life, and I can only rely on you! I won't let the Yun family off! I want that b*tch to pay her mother's debt!"
Gong Mochen's brows furrowed deeply. "Sit down and rest. I can tell that your heart isn't well again... Do you have any more medicine?"
He helped the woman sit on a chair carved from solid wood.
The woman pointed at a small jade bottle on the coffee table. "The medicine is there."
Gong Mochen walked over in a few steps and picked up the medicine. He opened the lid and poured some into the woman's mouth.
"Ta Luosi is back?" he asked.
The bottle of medicine was full, which meant that someone had refilled it.
"Why are you asking this?" the woman said vigilantly.
"Tell me, where is he?" Gong Mochen asked.
"Because you want to to kill him?" The woman's voice turned cold and she added, "Don't expect me to tell you where he is!"
"So, you'd rather he killed me?" Gong Mochen's voice turned bitter.
The woman clenched her hands into fists. "If you had followed the plan, he wouldn't have treated you like this! Do you dare to say that you didn't want to let that girl go?"
Gong Mochen lips formed into a straight line. "Sometimes, I wonder if you and Ta Luosi would be sad if I really got blown up. Do you think that I'm not important in your plan?"
The woman frowned. "I hope that you and Ta Luosi can live well. But I said that only the person who can seize the Qin family and the Yun family's property and avenge me can be Gong Mochen!
"All these years, do you think that it's fair to Ta Luosi? Shouldn't he live in broad daylight? It's only because of you that he became a shadow. Only one of the two of you is destined to obtain all of this and live on in the name of Gong Mochen!
"If the one who dies is Ta Luosi, I won't stop it. It's better to raise a son like a sheep than to raise a son like a wolf. This is a contest between the two of you!"
Gong Mochen's face turned cold. "Very well. But, I will survive, and you just wait to collect the other man's corpse."
He strode out of the woman's villa.
A black shadow flashed into the living room. "Does he want me to die?"
"Don't go out if you have nothing to do. As long as he can solve the problem, why should he kill you? The key is that you don't get in his way!" the woman said.
"Me get in his way? If I hadn't been in the dark, would you believe that he would have married Qin Sheng and had children? I really don't understand. Why was he the one who sent Qin Sheng to the Qin family and not me?" Ta Luosi said.
"I thought the outcome would be the same, no matter who I sent. Later, I realized that I was wrong. He is more like his father and is too sentimental! And that girl is too d*mn similar to her mother!" the woman said.
"Don't worry. I am more like you and have no feelings. If he dares to get in our way, I will kill him!" Ta Luosi snorted coldly.
"He knows what he should do. We just have to wait and see. I am tired, so I will go back to my room to rest," the woman said as she got up and walked to her room.
She knew that everything would go according to her expectations.
***
Qin Sheng drove to the filming location. For this movie, she rented a resort. The villa and the scene here were very suitable for the needs of the movie.
Before she could enter the dressing room, Le Le ran out.
"Sister Yun, something has happened. We can't shoot today's scene!" Le Le said anxiously.
Qin Sheng was stunned. "Why can't we shoot it?"
"Because we're afraid the actor might freeze in the lake. Director An An said that we should use today to shoot the scene of Yanzi jumping into the lake. But the stunt double we found suddenly called and said that she's sick and can't be in the scene!
"Director An An is talking to Yanzi now to see if she can act without the stunt double," Le Le explained.
Qin Sheng frowned. Without a stunt double, she wouldn't be able to film.
She strode into the dressing room and heard Yanzi's words.
"Director An An, it's not that I'm not professional. Actually, for the sake of the movie, I would risk jumping into the lake in such a cold weather. However, I'm on my period. I'm afraid I'll fall sick if I jump into the lake when it's this cold. I haven't even gotten married and had a child yet.
"Moreover, if I get sick from the cold, who will act in the rest of the movie? Our time is so tight. If I fall sick and delay the completion of the movie, it'll be a big deal if it can't be released during the Chinese New Year!"
Yanzi spoke in a soft voice. Her graceful and helpless tone made people's hearts ache when they heard it. She was clearly dedicated to her job, but was afraid of delaying the filming.
Obviously, An An was speechless by Yanzi's words. What Yanzi said was also a problem. If she was sick, it would indeed affect the filming.
"Le Le, ask the others who are willing to act. I can pay more," Qin Sheng said as she walked into the room.
She frowned. Her period was here? What a good excuse! Unfortunately, who knew if she was telling the truth!
However, when Le Le asked all the girls, no one was willing to act. After all, jumping into the lake at this time of the year was simply courting death. No one would do it to themselves for such a small amount of money.
"I've asked, but no one is willing." Le Le paused for a moment. "Actually, I'd like to act, but I'm really on my period..."
Le Le was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She was really on her period. Otherwise, she would be willing to be a substitute!
Qin Sheng held Le Le's hand. "It's okay. I'm not on my period. Go and call the makeup artist. I'll act the scene!"
Everyone was watching her show. No wonder there were so many reporters when she entered the resort! Unfortunately, she was going to disappoint them...
