Chapter 900 Calm down
Chapter 900 Calm down
She needed to calm down and think carefully about what to do next.
Lu Jingxing's actions undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Now, she not only has to face the threats from Director Zhang, but also has to deal with the media's bombardment and the malicious speculations of netizens.
She picked up her phone and opened Weibo. On the trending search list, "Lu Jingxing and Jiang Mubai's romance" was ranked first. Clicking on it, the comment section was filled with curses:
"Hype! It's definitely hype! In order to get promoted, even Lu Jingxing dared to touch porcelain!"
"Who is this woman? I've never heard of her before. How come she suddenly became Lu Jingxing's girlfriend?"
"You're just a scheming bitch! You want to use Lu Jingxing to get promoted? Dream on!"
……
Jiang Mubai looked at these vicious comments and felt chilled. She had been struggling in this circle for so many years and finally made some progress, but now everything was ruined because of Lu Jingxing's actions.
"Another drink." She slammed the empty glass on the bar.
The waiter looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes. "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Mubai forced a bitter smile, "I'm just... a little tired."
The waiter said nothing more and silently poured her a second glass of wine.
Jiang Mubai drank it all again. The alcohol began to numb her nerves, making her forget her troubles temporarily.
At this time, a man sat down next to her. "Beautiful girl, drinking alone? How about I accompany you?"
Jiang Mubai turned to look at him. The man was quite handsome, but there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes.
"No need." Jiang Mubai refused coldly.
"Don't be so cold." The man was unwilling to give up. "My name is Kevin, and I'm Xingyao Entertainment's agent. Maybe we can work together in the future."
Xingyao Entertainment? Jiang Mubai was slightly stunned. Xingyao Entertainment was one of the largest companies in the industry. If she could sign with Xingyao, it would undoubtedly be a huge opportunity for her.
But she didn't let her guard down. "What do you want to cooperate with?"
Kevin smiled, moved closer to her, and said in a low voice: "I know you are in a difficult situation now. I can help you solve all the problems, as long as you..." He paused, his eyes wandering over her, "willing to pay a little price."
Jiang Mubai understood what he meant instantly. Another unspoken rule!
She stood up suddenly and pushed Kevin away. "Get out!"
Kevin was startled by her sudden action and stumbled a few steps before steadying himself. He glared at Jiang Mubai in anger, "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
"I want to see what you can do to me!" Jiang Mubai stared back at him fearlessly.
The music in the bar suddenly stopped and everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Kevin's face turned pale, he knew he was in trouble today. He glared at Jiang Mubai fiercely, turned around and left the bar.
Jiang Mubai looked at his back and sneered. She would not compromise with anyone, not even the agent of Xingyao Entertainment!
She picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the bar... Lu Jingxing.
At the entrance of the bar, Lu Jingxing was wearing a black windbreaker, standing tall, staring at her with complicated eyes. Jiang Mubai's heart was shocked, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. Was it anger? Was it grievance? Or... a hint of expectation that shouldn't have existed?
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to get entangled with him. She needed to leave this place first.
Jiang Mubai walked around Lu Jingxing and headed straight out of the bar.
"Mu Bai!" Lu Jingxing called her, his voice low and hoarse.
Jiang Mubai paused but did not turn back. "Mr. Lu, is there anything else we can talk about?"
Lu Jingxing walked a few steps in front of her, blocking her way. "I know you are angry, but this matter..."
"Angry?" Jiang Mubai sneered, "Mr. Lu, you ruined my career, and you want to let it go just because you're angry?"
Lu Jingxing's face froze, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. "I didn't mean to destroy you, I just..."
"Just what? Just want to have fun? Just want to find a substitute?" Jiang Mubai pressed on step by step, his tone sharp, "Lu Jingxing, what do you think of me?"
Lu Jingxing was silent. He couldn't refute. He really didn't think about taking Jiang Mubai seriously. He just treated her as an object of entertainment.
"Go away." Jiang Mubai said coldly, "Don't come to me again."
She walked around Lu Jingxing and left the bar without looking back.
Lu Jingxing stood there, watching her back as she walked away, feeling mixed emotions. It was the first time he felt so powerless and regretful.
Jiang Mubai returned home and locked herself in her room, letting her tears flow freely. She felt like an abandoned toy, played with and then ruthlessly discarded.
She picked up her phone and looked through the comments on Weibo. The vicious words were like sharp blades, piercing her heart.
"Jiang Mubai, you deserve it! Who told you to provoke Lu Jingxing!"
"Scheming bitch! Now you've been dumped by Lu Jingxing!"
"Get out of the entertainment industry! We don't need people like you!"
……
Jiang Mubai held the phone tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain.
She suddenly laughed, hysterically.
"Lu Jingxing, just wait, I won't let you go!"
The next day, Jiang Mubai received a strange phone call.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I'm the president of Xingyao Entertainment. My name is Lin Feng."
Jiang Mubai was slightly stunned. Xingyao Entertainment? That one of the biggest companies in the industry?
"Hello, Mr. Lin, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this, Miss Jiang, I read your recent news, and I think you have great potential, and I would like to invite you to join Xingyao Entertainment."
Jiang Mubai's heart moved. Joining Xingyao Entertainment? This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for her.
But she didn't agree immediately. "Boss Lin, I want to know why you want to sign me?"
Lin Feng smiled, his tone meaningful. "Miss Jiang, you are very smart, I think you should understand what I mean."
Jiang Mubai's breathing stagnated. She understood that Lin Feng was hinting to her that he could help her solve all problems, including the trouble caused by Lu Jingxing.
"I need to think about it." Jiang Mubai said.
"Of course, Miss Jiang, I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, I hope you can give me an answer."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai fell into deep thought. She knew that if she agreed to Lin Feng, it would mean that she would have to compromise with him and pay a certain price.
But she was at her wit's end now, what choice did she have?
Just then, her cell phone rang again.
It was Lu Jingxing calling.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.
