Seeing Mu Junze's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Meng Rong held back her smugness and continued in a strange tone, "Not only the people in the crew, but also on Weibo, everyone is saying that Meng Chu and Lin Xuyang are a perfect match. I saw the other day that Meng Nianchu was very close to him, bickering like a young couple."
"Shut up," Mu Junze said coldly.
Meng Rong pouted, "I just think it's really unfair to you, Junze, that Meng Nianchu is involved with other men. She's already a married woman but still entangled with others. What's that all about? If I were her, I'd definitely stay away from that man. How could I be like Meng Nianchu?"
"I think she just doesn't care about you. Wasn't her attitude towards you still cold not long ago? Maybe she just got a whim and became a bit warmer towards you. As soon as she sees another man, she can't hold back her true nature and wants to have an affair with him. Don't..."
Mu Junze lifted his eyelids and turned his eyes to her, his eyes filled with a strong warning.
Scared by his cold look, Meng Rong's heart skipped a beat and she weakly shut her mouth.
After a scene, the assistant director was quite satisfied and didn't ask for a retake. He told everyone to take a break. Meng Nianchu ran over to Mu Junze with a big smile.
Seeing her coming, Meng Rong snorted.
"The things between you and Yang Xuyang have spread all over the Internet recently. Entangling with other men like this, it's just not right. You don't care at all. Once such news comes out, it will have a great negative impact on Mu Junze."
The smile on Meng Nianchu's face froze instantly. She pulled a long face and coldly met Meng Rong's gaze, "What does it matter to you?"
This short sentence left Meng Rong blushing and choking.
Meng Nianchu blinked her eyes and looked at Mu Junze, "How was my acting just now?"
"What else? Didn't you hear what the people in the crew were saying about the two of you? They all said you were in a relationship and a perfect match," Meng Rong interjected rudely.
Suddenly, Mu Junze held Meng Nianchu's delicate hand.
"Miss Meng, the assistant director told me that the next scene will be postponed to tomorrow. We're going to shoot the car - accident scene today. You should take a good rest first."
"Okay."
Hearing Lin Xuyang's gentle message, Meng Nianchu's small face tightened and her eyes glanced at Mu Junze from time to time.
Lin Xuyang greeted Mu Junze, "This must be Boss Mu. I've long admired your name."
"Yeah."
Lin Xuyang smiled at Meng Nianchu, "You've worked hard today. Go back and rest early. You still have to shoot several scenes in a row tomorrow morning. Don't get too tired."
Meng Nianchu forced a couple of dry laughs.
She clearly felt Mu Junze's grip on her hand getting tighter and tighter!
The situation was getting more and more embarrassing. Meng Rong added fuel to the fire and said in a strange tone, "Meng Nianchu isn't a child. You don't need to tell her such things. You have no relation with her. If others hear this, they'll think there's something shady between you and Meng Nianchu."
As she said this, she gave Mu Junze a meaningful look.
"You've misunderstood. Miss Meng and I are just in a cooperative relationship," Lin Xuyang pursed his lips and smiled politely.
Meng Rong scoffed disdainfully, "You're kidding a three - year - old."
Hearing her keep pestering, Meng Nianchu's face gradually turned cold. Her red lips parted, but suddenly a force came and she was sitting on Mu Junze's lap.
The clear smell of tobacco enveloped her.
The words Meng Nianchu wanted to say were swallowed back.
"I'll take care of my own woman."
He stared directly into Lin Xuyang's eyes, enunciating each word forcefully, with an additional warning.
Lin Xuyang smiled and said, "I still have something to do. You guys can talk slowly."
Finally, he left and Meng Nianchu breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are really all kinds of people. The Weibo has spread such things, but they still go their own way and get so close," Meng Rong glanced at Meng Nianchu sitting on Mu Junze's lap, jealousy almost bursting out of her watery eyes.
Mu Junze just looked at Meng Nianchu.
Just as Meng Rong was about to say something else, Meng Nianchu suddenly put her arms around Mu Junze's neck and covered his lips.
"It's all just a joke."
Mu Junze tightened his grip on her waist.
This affectionate scene attracted the attention of everyone in the crew. Meng Rong was so angry that her heart was about to explode, but she didn't dare to go up and pull Meng Nianchu away. Filled with anger, she glared at Meng Nianchu unwillingly and left angrily.
"We'll finish shooting soon."
This clearly hit the nail on the head. Mu Junze's expression improved after hearing her words.
Meng Nianchu's eyes were smiling.
The story of President Mu, who was rumored to be aloof and cold, openly showing affection with his wife in the crew quickly spread on Weibo, triggering countless discussions. All the comments said they were a more perfect match.
Mu Junze liked one of these articles.
...
Ying Youan, who had been on the sidelines and gone to the United States not long ago, finally came back after half a month. The day he came back was also the last day of the crew's shooting.
The filming was successfully wrapped up.
The first thing Ying Youan did after returning to the crew was to inform everyone that he had booked a place and there would be a wrap - up party in the evening. Everyone had to attend. Meng Nianchu, who originally didn't plan to go, couldn't resist the invitation from Cui Lei and other actresses and had to agree.
When the crew finished work in the evening, she called Mu Junze first. After hearing what she said, Mu Junze just replied with an "um" and then hung up the phone.
The place Ying Youan booked was his villa in the suburbs. It was magnificent and extremely luxurious. After everyone arrived, they looked around, wishing they could grow an extra pair of eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Ying Youan handed Meng Nianchu a glass of champagne, with obvious playfulness in his eyes, "I've only been away from the crew for such a short time, but you've caused quite a few things."
"..."
Seeing Meng Nianchu's cold attitude, Ying Youan chuckled and got closer to her, "A beautiful woman like Miss Meng getting involved in a scandal with another man. Mu Junze isn't worried at all and still dares to let you come out. I'm really surprised."
"Junze has a brain. Only a fool would believe such things," Meng Nianchu took a step back and looked Ying Youan straight in the eye. Her words were not friendly.
Seeing the atmosphere freeze, Ying Youan saw a man walking towards Meng Nianchu. He tilted his head and waved his hand, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see," Lin Xuyang simply greeted politely and then couldn't wait to look at Meng Nianchu, "I've been looking for you for a long time. I thought you really didn't come."
Meng Nianchu forced a smile.
"I remember you like sticky rice cakes. I saw some on the table in the north - corner."
"No, thanks."
"Mr. Lin really pays a lot of attention to Miss Meng's every move," Ying Youan said in a sarcastic tone while watching coldly from the side.
