Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Top Trend in the House
Outside the hotel after the Star Moon Award, Hu Yiwei spotted Mu Qianli from afar.
"Hey, isn't that Sister Qianli? What, came to watch Zhou Mubai being interviewed? I just heard in private that last night, Zhou Mubai had some trouble – seems like he brought a woman over to sleep, and with the event timing, Zhou Mubai is so careless. If paparazzi had caught him, Sister Qianli you'd be busy again."
"..."
This Hu Yiwei, always stirring the pot where it's not needed; as Mu Qianli watched her nemesis with whom she had waged war ever since she had become an agent in the entertainment industry. He knew well enough that she had a past fling with Zhou Mubai, and yet he had to bring up Zhou Mubai bringing a woman back to the hotel.
Mu Qianli, holding up her delicate makeup, was on the verge of not being able to keep up her smile.
Fang Zongli rushed over from behind first.
"Agent Hu, just mind your own artists. Don't just watch others. You don't know that Pei Jinxi hid someone in his hotel room."
"..."
Mu Qianli almost couldn't keep her expression in check.
Agent Hu Yiwei laughed, "My Jinxi is so obedient. I've been managing him since he was 16, and he has never troubled me. You can rest easy about this. In the entertainment industry, if anyone's house could collapse, mine certainly won't!"
"Ha ha ha ha, don't boast too much."
Mu Qianli quickly grabbed Fang Zongli and pulled her away, frustrated.
With this young lady's aggressive nature, she feared that if they stayed a moment longer, Fang Zongli might spill all of Mu Qianli's secrets.
"What are you doing? I can't stand that smug look of his. After waiting so many years, I finally saw you get tricked once, what a character." Fang Zongli wrapped her shawl around herself, her face blushing with frustration.
"Don't make me regret telling you!" Mu Qianli was so frustrated she felt like pulling out her own hair, "I think about it now and I feel like banging my head against a wall, yet you still dare to make things more chaotic here!"
"Why bang your head against a wall?" Fang Zongli's eyes flickered as she stepped right in front of her, "It's just sleeping with a man, right? You're 24, and losing your virginity is totally normal. Plus, Pei Jinxi is pretty handsome – sleeping with him, you haven't lost out compared to Zhou Mubai, that old eggplant. I stand Pei Jinxi!"
"Shut your mouth. Do you want his 30 million fans to kill me?" she covered Fang Zongli's mouth, "He's only 20, 20! And he's a child star. When I think of him, all I can picture is his hottest childhood TV show, and I feel like a total pervert for laying hands on a kid!"
"..."
Fang Zongli's face fell, and she abruptly gave Mu Qianli a kick.
Mu Qianli looked up just as Zhou Mubai, wearing sunglasses and dressed in the latest casual brand he endorsed, wearing sneakers, strode towards them.
"Qianli, oh, Zongli sister, you're here too? Came all the way from Beijing to accompany Qianli, huh? Isn't your company busy?"
Fang Zongli owned a PR firm, a proper rich lady famous in the circles; Zhou Mubai dared not disobey her, and by now, he had already removed his large sunglasses.
"Stop, don't call me sister. Your Baidu encyclopedia is all fake. I know you're not 26 now. You're 28, older than me by a few years. I'm almost old enough to call you uncle, and you still call me sister?"
"..."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhou Mubai's face.
Mu Qianli quickly pulled Fang Zongli away and took the chance to grab Zhou Mubai, hastening their steps as they walked.
