No matter how much Yi Mo liked the cake, she still had the self - awareness of a female celebrity. She only took two bites and then put it down.
Meng Ruozhao didn't need to face the camera. Besides, she was a bit tired after crying just now, so she ate up her own piece of cake.
The two chatted aimlessly for a while when Yi Mo's phone beeped.
She checked it, and her expression changed.
"Last night's dinner was hosted by President Pei. I haven't shown my appreciation yet. So tonight, I'll be the host. How about I take you two to do something different?"
Suddenly, she stood up and waved her little hand.
Meng Ruozhao was in a bad mood today. She was also afraid that she would keep overthinking if she went back, so she also wanted to find something to do.
"Sure. What's so different?" she asked curiously.
She had heard that everyone liked to play murder mystery games these days. But she had no friends, so she had never tried it.
Yi Mo just gave a mysterious smile. "You'll know when we get there. Let's go."
But then Meng Ruozhao seemed to remember something and hesitated. "Pei Jiangmu is still injured. Is it okay for him?"
Yi Mo waved her hand. "It's definitely okay. You can trust me on this."
With her assurance, Meng Ruozhao and Pei Jiangmu naturally had no objections.
The three of them closed the shop and went for dinner first.
When it was time to go for fun, Yi Mo hailed a taxi.
So when they got out of the car, Meng Ruozhao and Pei Jiangmu were both surprised to see the huge sign of [Crossing the Line], the top - tier bar in Haicheng.
Especially Pei Jiangmu. He never expected that Yi Mo would bring them to a bar.
His Chaolao had never been to such a place in her life!
Because he would never allow it.
Just as he was thinking about pretending to be sick to deceive Meng Ruozhao into leaving, Meng Ruozhao suddenly smiled.
"So this is the 'different' thing... It's okay. I actually want to have a drink."
However, after saying this, she looked at Pei Jiangmu worriedly.
"You're injured. You can't drink. And you're still a student. How about you go back first?"
Hearing that she wanted him to leave alone, Pei Jiangmu immediately gave up the idea of pretending to be sick.
If this woman was going to drink, he must accompany her.
"I'm fine. I can just have some juice."
At this time, Yi Mo quickly said, "No, little brother Pei can't leave. I'll need your help to act in a play later."
Hearing this, the other two looked at her.
Yi Mo showed a somewhat embarrassed smile in the night.
"Well, there's something I need to confess."
She had been struggling on the way here and didn't know how to bring it up.
Now that they were already at the door, she had to say it.
So she gritted her teeth and decided to just go for it.
"Actually, the reason I invited you two here today is that I have some personal grudges to settle. I asked you to come and give me some moral support."
This shocked Meng Ruozhao.
"Moral support? Do you want Pei Jiangmu to fight for you? That's not okay. He's still injured."
She had never been in such a situation.
But Pei Jiangmu was injured, so he was definitely not fit to fight.
As for her, although she kept exercising, she didn't know how to fight either.
Yi Mo was stunned. Just as she was about to explain that it wasn't about fighting, she saw Meng Ruozhao bite her lip, as if she had made a big decision.
"Wait a minute. I'll call someone for you now. Wait a sec."
Saying that, she took out her phone.
When she first returned to the country, Du Feng had arranged bodyguards for her.
Later, when she insisted on opening her own studio and had a falling - out with Du Feng, all these "privileges" were revoked.
But she still had the bodyguards' contact information.
If she asked them to come and fight now and paid them, they should be willing to help, right?
Yi Mo was stunned again, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
"My dear Chaolao, what are you thinking? We're in a civilized society. We don't fight."
Pei Jiangmu, with a straight face, focused on something else entirely. "Who is sister going to call?"
When did she make friends who could be called in a fight?
Meng Ruozhao held the phone in her hand, looking a bit dazed. "Ah, we're not fighting? Then what's going on?"
Only then did Yi Mo tell them the whole story.
It turned out that after she entered the entertainment industry, she had a boyfriend.
The guy worked in the same company as her, but he wasn't an artist. He was a partner of the brokerage company, so he was like a high - level executive in the company.
He pursued her, and after they got together, they had a sweet year of being in love.
Who would have thought that three months ago, he suddenly broke up with her out of the blue.
The reason he gave was that Yi Mo was getting more and more successful at work and was getting busier. She had less and less time to accompany him.
"He told me that he was a high - need partner and that he couldn't accept that I couldn't accompany him seven days a week."
"I just scoffed at that. There are only seven days in a week. Even for a job, you still get two days off."
"Moreover, when he was pursuing me, he didn't say that. He said he understood my job and would fully support me."
"At that time, I actually thought it was because I accompanied him too little. I even felt really sorry for him, so I voluntarily turned down two jobs."
When Yi Mo said this, her emotions were obviously getting excited.
Because later she found out that all that talk about companionship and not feeling her love was a lie.
The two jobs she turned down were given to a new actress in the company.
It would have been okay if they were just given to a newbie. But they even deducted her salary, saying that she didn't obey the company's arrangements.
From the company's perspective, this could be justified.
But Yi Mo never expected that this newbie was her boyfriend's new girlfriend.
"He wanted to use my opportunities to please his new girlfriend and also PUA me. The most important thing was that he deducted my money."
"It's okay for him to play with my feelings, but stealing my money is absolutely unacceptable."
"I asked him for an explanation, but he kept avoiding me and blocked all my contact information. The company even planned to blacklist me."
"Now this [Tales of the Mountains and Seas] was a project I signed up for before. If the sponsor hadn't specifically requested me, I would have been replaced. The company wouldn't have fought for me."
"So this jerk not only wanted to break up with me but also wanted to ruin my career."
Yi Mo took two deep breaths and then continued.
"He doesn't know that a month ago, this newbie added me on WeChat and would occasionally send me the daily life of those two jerks."
"I originally thought it was okay. I just thought I was bitten by a dog. Anyway, we were already broken up. If I made a big deal out of it, it might even affect my career."
"But those two jerks didn't want to let me go. Today is that mistress's birthday. My ex - boyfriend booked a table here to celebrate for her."
"Originally, this had nothing to do with me. But that mistress even dared to send me photos to provoke me. I just couldn't bear it anymore."
Yi Mo came here today to make it clear to that scumbag that she wasn't the one being dumped. She was the one breaking up with him.
She also wanted to tell that mistress that if she liked to pick up trash, then this piece of trash was for her. She should stop eating shit and then showing off to others.
Others wouldn't be envious. They would only find it disgusting.
"That scumbag is so ordinary but always considers himself talented. He has a great deal of malice towards good - looking men."
"Little brother Pei, you just need to accompany me in later. It'll piss him off."
After a pause, she quickly added.
"Don't worry, sister won't do anything to you."
