Chapter 1004  : The Love Rival Arrives (9)

Mo Zhi was mesmerized for a bit.

All of these years playing the field, he had met many pretty women, but this was the first time he had come across such a haughty beauty.

It had only taken one look at Shi Nianyao to capture all of his attention.

Yet he hadn’t expected that she would turn out to be Mo Xicheng’s girlfriend.

The moment Mo Zhi said those words, Mo Xicheng frowned in disdain. He eyed Mo Zhi fiercely as he said, “She will have nothing to do with you.”

“How could she have nothing to do with me?”

Sniggering, Mo Zhi said as he kept his gaze steadily on her, “Since she’s your girlfriend, of course I’ll have to help you take good care of her.”

Mo Xicheng tensed his jaw and said, “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean?” Mo Zhi sneered, “I didn’t mean anything. I only thought that it’s a waste for a pretty girl like that to be living a life of misery with a bastard.”

Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank back as he reflexively looked in Shi Nianyao’s direction.

He saw that for a moment she looked completely at a loss. He frowned and said in a warning tone, “Mo Zhi!”

“Why? She doesn’t know about your status?” Mo Zhi laughed derisively and looked at Shi Nianyao. “I’m sure he’s told you that he’s the second young master of the Mo family. But perhaps you’re not aware that his mother is a mistress and he is a shameful bastard! Ha! In my eyes, he’s always a bit lower than others! And do you know? Since he was little, he had to eat my leftovers, play with my old toys and live begging from my family. Let me tell you, he won’t get a single cent of the Mo family’s assets! A person like him can’t even find popularity as an actor. Being with him will only make your life tough.”

He sneered and continued, “Miss, why don’t you come with me instead? At least, I’m the elder young master of the Mo family, I won’t mistreat you.”

Smiling till his eyes had almost disappeared, he added, “Come with me. You can act in whatever film you fancy! How about that?”

Having had his identity exposed by Mo Zhi, Mo Xicheng looked gloomier than ever.

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling as though he had been stripped naked. He felt thoroughly embarrassed.

His eyes were as deep as the oceans and all sorts of emotions were now brewing in them.

As Shi Nianyao looked at him, she felt a dull ache in her heart.

No wonder then…

No wonder that, even though he looked like he didn’t have a common family background, he worked as an actor.

No wonder that for so many years, he had kept a low profile to the point that no one paid any attention to him. He would go about his job and take his salary.

So that was his family background…

She turned silent and subdued, as she felt the pain in her heart.

Mo Xicheng suddenly felt uneasy seeing that Shi Nianyao had gone quiet.

She must be feeling really disappointed.

He had always put up a mysterious front around her.

But now everything had been exposed. He felt like a clown who had been stripped bare.

A trace of nervousness appeared in his expression.

Mo Zhi too thought that Shi Nianyao was now hesitating and had new concerns. So he said again, “How about it? Come with me, beautiful, you’ll have good food and great wine if you come with me. If you follow this wretched beggar, you will simply be trampled on by people like me for the rest of your life.”

“So consider it carefully and come with me now!”

At these words, Mo Zhi extended his hand towards Shi Nianyao.

Shi Nianyao stared at his hand and then glanced at Mo Xicheng again. Slowly, she extended her hand towards Mo Zhi.
