Chapter 967: Extra 57, I Like You [Second Update Completed] Chapter 967: Extra 57, I Like You [Second Update Completed] The agent beside her tried to console her, “Kaiying, about this matter, since we only had a verbal agreent and didn’t sign a contract, so…”
“What do you an? Does that an we can’t sue?”
“Yes.”
Fang Kaiying shouted, “Didn’t you record it?”
Agent: “…”
Fang Kaiying had been in the industry for many years, and previous collaborations were usually set in stone once agreed upon. Who would have thought about recording it in advance?
Besides, even if it was recorded, while you can verify a prior agreent by recognizing a voice, without a contract, there’s no legal obligation, so it’s completely invalid.
“How can you be so incompetent!” Fang Kaiying instantly lost her temper, “Do you have any clue who Wang Yilu is? A newcor who’s only been in the industry for two years has snatched the leading lady role from . How am I supposed to face people from now on?”
“Rest assured, Kaiying. That Wang Yilu is just a newbie; her acting skills are nowhere close to yours. It’s just that she has capital backing her, and we’re helpless in the face of that.”
“She did it on purpose! Tell , who is her backer?”
“All I know is her agent is Su Wanwan, the daughter of Director Yan Shunhua, soone you’ve t before…”
Fang Kaiying frowned.
It was as if she no longer recognized them.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
The agent picked up the phone and glanced at it, then hurriedly answered, “Sister Ruan.”
“…”
“Okay, okay, got it.”
The agent quickly put down the phone, “Kaiying, your mom called and would like to have a word with you.”
Fang Kaiying snatched the phone from him, her voice choked with grievance, “Mom, my leading lady role has been taken away…”
“Mom knows you’re upset, just don’t be sad,” Ruan Qiyang said. “I’ve already spoken to Xiaowang, and he’ll book a flight for you this afternoon to co back to Kyoto imdiately.”
“I’m not going back!” Fang Kaiying scread.
“Mom knows you’ve been wronged, but rest assured, I’ve found you a better script. The screenwriter just won an award this year and plans to have Director Zhang## direct it. All the top stars will be acting with you, and you’ll be the leading lady.”
“Really?” Fang Kaiying was sowhat moved.
“Truly,” said Ruan Qiyang. “It’s a script personally selected by mom, guaranteed to satisfy you.”
“But…” Fang Kaiying hesitated.
She was still thinking of confronting Xiao Yebai after the kickoff ceremony today, to clear up the matter about his marriage.
Because only after surfing the net last night did she find out that Xiao Yebai was previously an adopted son of the Mo Family, and had switched identities with the daughter of the Mo Family.
Now, they had divorced three years ago, and Xiao Yebai was the rightful heir of the Mo Family. And the fact that Mo Weiyi chose to co back now perhaps ant that he intended to rekindle their old relationship…
Without clarifying this, she wouldn’t be at peace.
“Kaiying, this opportunity is extrely rare; mom has already arranged etings with the director and the screenwriter for tomorrow morning. So you must return to Kyoto today, understood?” Ruan Qiyang issued her final ultimatum.
Fang Kaiying bit her lip.
After hesitating for a long ti, she finally nodded, “Okay then, I’ll listen to you.”
“Good girl.”
**
Far away in Kyoto’s Jinxiu Garden.
Ruan Qiyang hung up the phone, but her expression imdiately beca solemn.
She could never have imagined if Fang Kaiying hadn’t finally opened up yesterday, she would still be unaware that her daughter had fallen for Xiao Yebai, the ex-husband of… Mo Weiyi! The man who had co to Kyoto three years ago to negotiate with her!
Could this be the punishnt heaven had in store for her?
“`
Over twenty years ago, she chose to abandon Mo Weiyi, so was it now that such a dramatic thing would happen to her other daughter?
She even suspected that Xiao Yebai did it all on purpose!
Three years ago, she had already seen what he was capable of.
So, because Mo Weiyi divorced him, he found Fang Kaiying, who looked similar to Mo Weiyi, to be his emotional substitute.
Now that Mo Weiyi had returned, he no longer needed this substitute and discarded Fang Kaiying…
Ruan Qiyang picked up the clear tea from the table and took a slow sip, telling herself to stay calm.
Having been in the entertainnt industry for nearly twenty years, she knew well that one should never try to fight against capital. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died in the end!
The Mo Group had already beco quite sizable three years ago, and now it was an existence she couldn’t afford to provoke.
That’s why, starting from three years ago, she slowly began to step back, focusing entirely on family and assisting her daughter’s career.
Over the past three years, she had stopped accepting any roles in dramas or movies, stopped appearing on shows, and gradually terminated so endorsents and collaborations.
In any case, as long as Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi didn’t make a fuss, she wouldn’t have any problems.
She was still Ruan Qiyang, the wife of the president of Kyoto’s Fang dia Group. No one knew about her past, and no one could destroy her perfectly peaceful life now…

Noon.
Xia Chuyun checked the ti. “Weiyi, shall we go for lunch?”
“Sure.”
Once they were in the elevator, Xia Chuyun looked at Mo Weiyi, “Strange, isn’t Xiao Yebai coming to have a sweet lunch with you today?”
“He ca to yesterday because of so urgent matters,” Mo Weiyi tried to explain.
But then…
“Oh, what was so urgent that it took all afternoon? I rember you replied to my ssage after four o’clock yesterday, right?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Seeing her embarrassed for once, Xia Chuyun couldn’t help but want to laugh, “Isn’t Xiao Yebai going to have sothing to look for you today as well?”
“Not today,” Mo Weiyi quickly assured.
With a “ding,” they reached the first floor.
Mo Weiyi affectionately took hold of her arm, “Yunyun, it’s quite cold today, how about we go have so soup?”
“…” Xia Chuyun didn’t say anything but suddenly stopped walking.
Mo Weiyi looked up and was instantly dumbfounded.
A tall figure of a man approached, casting a shadow in front of her.
Xiao Yebai was dressed in a suit and shoes, his white shirt underneath impeccable, even the tie was tied ticulously, and his handso face bore little expression, only his deep dark eyes stared at her intently.
Because she was so astonished, Mo Weiyi’s eyes widened, unable to speak for a while.
“Alright, I won’t disturb you two,” Xia Chuyun was the first to speak, “Weiyi, Xiao Yebai, I’ll go have my lunch first.”
Xiao Yebai gave her a slight nod.
After she left, the man had already reached out, taking her hand very naturally, “I’ve been waiting here for twenty minutes.”
During the lunch break, the first floor was busy with colleagues, who cast various looks their way.
Mo Weiyi was rarely embarrassed, “What are you doing here?”
Xiao Yebai bowed his head, his low voice inherently sexy, “Join for lunch.”
Hearing these words, Mo Weiyi pursed her red lips, “Aren’t there many people at Mo Group who could join you for lunch?”
“There are,” Xiao Yebai’s thin lips lifted slightly, “but I don’t like eating with them.”
“`
Mo Weiyi also lifted her red lips, “Then who do you like to eat with?”
Xiao Yebai almost responded fluently, “I like you.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Slick talker!
Xiao Yebai took her hand and headed out.
Not until she had settled in the car did Mo Weiyi speak again, “Why didn’t you call before you ca over?”
He didn’t call, didn’t ssage, and actually waited for her downstairs?
Was this a surprise attack?
“Figured you had to co down for lunch anyway, so I just went waiting inside,” Xiao Yebai said matter-of-factly.
Mo Weiyi snorted, “So what are we having for lunch?”
“You said you wanted soup just now,” Xiao Yebai stated as he drove off and then made a phone call.
Mo Weiyi thought he might have sothing urgent for work, but…
“Uclast Road area, recomnd a good soup place.”
“…”
“Okay, got it.”
After hanging up, Mo Weiyi said, “You don’t need to have your secretary look it up, I can just check on my phone.”
“The secretary has been reassigned.”
It took a mont for Mo Weiyi to realize what he ant, “You reassigned the secretary who booked the western restaurant yesterday?”
Xiao Yebai nodded.
“Then who were you just calling?”
Xiao Yebai replied, “Zhan Yao.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Actually calling the captain of the criminal police squad to ask where there’s a good soup place nearby?
Such an overqualified question…
“By the way.” Mo Weiyi said, “Just eating today, no drinking.”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
**
Indeed, although Zhan Yao was a cop, he really had a keen sense for food.
He recomnded a nearby old duck soup restaurant. Drinking soup first, then dipping veggies; the place was bustling and brimming with life, though it didn’t quite suit soone.
Mo Weiyi, sitting there, couldn’t help but smile at the sight of Xiao Yebai across from her, dressed up in a suit.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that his attire and deanor didn’t sh with this setting.
Inevitably, so people just looked like they belonged in a fine dining restaurant being served by others, not like now, holding a small bowl in one hand, a spoon in the other, ladling soup for her.
“Careful, it’s hot,” his attractive, slender fingers placed the bowl of soup before her.
After a pause, Xiao Yebai picked up the chopsticks and added a bit of green onion and coriander for her.
Mo Weiyi picked up her spoon and slowly sipped the soup.
Xiao Yebai didn’t eat much, and the rhythm of his chopsticks was casual.
Probably not used to this kind of food…
Mo Weiyi blurted out, “Don’t co tomorrow.”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Yebai asked her.
“Pretending to ask.”
Naturally, with just over an hour for lunch break, a quick al is sufficient, but now, commuting back and forth by car plus eating out… especially since yesterday afternoon…
Mo Weiyi felt it was too ti-consuming. Of course, most importantly, it didn’t look good!
“Actually,” Xiao Yebai gazed at her, “besides eating today, I also had to discuss a cooperation with Lawyer Lu.”
Mo Weiyi nodded.
That explained it.
She had misunderstood him.
Because the discussion about cooperation was supposed to happen yesterday afternoon, but then…
“Anyway, don’t co over at noon if it’s nothing important.”
“Okay,” Xiao Yebai agreed.
**
After finishing their al, Xiao Yebai drove her back to the law firm.
His gaze fixed on the road ahead, his side profile sleek and attractive, seemingly focused on nothing else, Mo Weiyi was almost convinced until the car stopped in the underground parking.
Mo Weiyi had just unbuckled her seatbelt…
“Wait a second,” Xiao Yebai grasped her hand.
Mo Weiyi turned to look at him, “What’s up?”
Leaning in close, Xiao Yebai’s voice was deep, “Give a kiss before you go, hmm?”
Mo Weiyi said, “But I’m going to be late…”
“Then I’ll kiss you.”
As soon as his words trailed off, Mo Weiyi leaned in quickly and pecked his cheek. “There, is that good?”
Xiao Yebai’s smile curved up, “Just this?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, just silently looked at her.
Within the closed car, in an empty underground parking lot with no traffic in sight, the man gazed at her from such a close distance, his eyes deep and dark, creating an innately intimate atmosphere.
Mo Weiyi, looking at his handso chiseled face, finally moved in and quickly kissed his lips. “There, okay now? I really am going to be late, let’s go… mmm.”
Xiao Yebai suddenly pressed in closer.
Initially, Mo Weiyi struggled, but soon realized his grip only grew tighter…
It wasn’t until he seed satisfied with the kisses that she was finally released; her cheeks were flushed as if she had swiped on rouge, even her lips were red and swollen.
Xiao Yebai’s hand was still on her cheek, their breaths warm, entangling with each other.
Mo Weiyi realized that every ti he kissed her, he liked to cup her face with his hand or grab the back of her head, making her feel trapped, with a sense of undeniable insistence.
Incredibly domineering.
Xiao Yebai leaned down and kissed her cheek again, “Now, we can get out of the car.”
Mo Weiyi felt her face burning up, “Are you coming up with ?”
“What’s wrong?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She suspected it was deliberate.
