Chapter 47: You may substitute yourself for this.
"Mmm~"
The next morning, clothes were scattered throughout the hotel, and the blackout curtains were tightly closed, leaving the room pitch black.
Meng Ziyi had just woken up and was still a little groggy, unconsciously making cute wake-up sounds.
My mind is still filled with that crazy moment from last night.
One has to admire Li Mo's boundless energy.
After a long night of work, I slept soundly until dawn!
Happy woman, time to get up!
Meng Ziyi did not open her eyes, but softly called Li Mo's name.
After waiting for a while, she didn't receive the kiss and embrace she wanted, and there was no response from her side, so Meng Ziyi was a little dissatisfied.
You definitely need to take good care of yourself right now, why aren't you reacting at all!
Meng Ziyi reached out and touched it, feeling around for a while before realizing he had touched nothing.
When he opened his eyes, the room was already empty; Li Mo had disappeared sometime earlier.
Why did you leave me here all alone?
Meng Ziyi scoffed, pouted, and muttered a few words of complaint about Li Mo.
Then she wrapped herself in the blanket, rolled to the edge of the bed, picked up her phone, and dialed Li Mo's number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
This caught Meng Ziyi off guard; he hadn't expected to encounter something like this so early in the morning.
His brows furrowed unconsciously.
Is it off?
Are you busy?
Why didn't you tell me?
Meng Ziyi didn't think too much about it; he was probably busy.
So I thought I'd send Li Mo a message and ask him to call me when he's done with his work.
What are we going to do in a little while?
Meng Ziyi was still immersed in the wonderful moments of the previous night, and the past few days with Li Mo felt like a dream.
I also want to experience all sorts of new things with Li Mo.
[MoMo, I'm awake. When are you coming back...?]
After editing, I clicked send, and the result was…
A very conspicuous red exclamation mark appeared on the phone screen, leaving Meng Ziyi completely stunned.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, wanting to confirm it again.
But that conspicuous red exclamation mark is still there.
What!
What's going on?
Why did he delete himself?
She was already not very clear-headed after just waking up, and this sudden situation left her even more confused.
He paced anxiously back and forth in the room, deep in thought.
She also wanted to find Li Mo to ask what had happened, but she found that she couldn't find Li Mo at all.
Her phone was switched off, her messages were blocked, and she didn't even know where Li Mo lived...
It felt like he had abandoned her, and she couldn't contact Li Mo at all.
This complex emotion left her momentarily at a loss, sitting on the bed looking at where Li Mo had originally been.
There was no movement for a long time.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a call came in from an unknown number.
Just when she naively thought it was Li Mo calling, the unfamiliar voice on the other end of the phone made her realize the reality.
"Hello, are you Meng Ziyi?"
Meng Ziyi was in low spirits at the moment and didn't want to hear anything other than Li Mo, nor did he want to know why the other party knew his name.
But just as she was about to scratch off the phone, the next sentence made her change her mind.
"I'm Li Mo's boss, let's meet!"
"good!"
Inside a coffee shop near the hotel, a man in his forties waited silently.
Are you looking towards the doorway?
On the surface, he appeared calm and composed, but if you took off his suit jacket, you would find that the back of his shirt was completely soaked.
"It's really tough for me, Lao Wang. Is being a celebrity's driver really that difficult?"
Old Wang picked up his coffee, silently recited a few lines of dialogue, and calmed himself down after taking a few sips.
He only got back into character when a somewhat haggard, unkempt girl appeared at the corner of the street.
"Meng Ziyi, right? Sit down."
Old Wang cleared his throat and gestured with his hand.
Meng Ziyi, who was standing to the side, nodded, suppressed his strong curiosity, sat down, and asked a simple question:
"Who are you?"
Old Wang pointed to the seats opposite him and said in a low voice, "Ahem... Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Mo's boss, and my surname is Wang."
Meng Ziyi sat up straight, nodded, and waited for what the person opposite him would say.
Old Wang, mimicking the boss in TV dramas, leaned back on the sofa with a sharp look in his eyes.
"I already know everything about you and Li Mo."
An hour has passed since I called you. I think you should understand why I contacted you.
Meng Ziyi's eyes were slightly red, but his expression remained stubborn.
"So you're here to stop Li Mo and me?"
Old Wang had a very serious expression, with his brows furrowed tightly, and he certainly looked like a boss.
"Good to know. I can tell you very frankly that your affair with Li Mo has seriously damaged our company's interests."
Li Mo is under a dating ban, which means I can take her to court at any time!
At this moment, Lao Wang was utterly awful in Meng Ziyi's eyes. If looks could kill, Lao Wang would have been pierced by a thousand arrows by now.
"Then... how much compensation do I need to pay?"
If it comes to losing money, Meng Ziyi felt she could face it together with Li Mo; in her heart, this relationship was more important than money.
Is she a little rich woman? Damn Li Mo, Old Wang was even a little jealous of his boss at this moment.
"Is this about money? You don't want Li Mo's career to be devastated because of you, do you?"
The dialogue was terrible. This line wasn't pre-arranged; it was something Lao Wang learned from a movie that could be acted by just two or three people.
These words struck a nerve with Meng Ziyi, and she asked in a tearful voice:
"Where's Li Mo? Why isn't he showing up? What's he thinking? Is he breaking up with me too?"
I know this one!
Old Wang is in great form. It seems that after his performance just now, he is gradually experiencing the pleasure of breaking up other people's relationships.
"You want him to come out, then put him in a difficult position, and ultimately defy my decision, risking a lose-lose situation to be with you?"
So it seems... you don't love him that much after all!
Kill the game!
The question was successfully posed to Meng Ziyi: If you love him, don't force him; if you don't love him, then what right do you have to demand things from Li Mo…
The scene fell silent immediately, for 5 minutes... 10 minutes...
Meng Ziyi finally gave up struggling, unable to contain his emotions any longer, and said in a voice heavy with sobs:
"You win! I'll leave on my own!"
Old Wang's tone softened then, and he said comfortingly:
"I acknowledge your friendship. I still need to deal with Li Mo."
You know what? When I found out you were a student at the Beijing Film Academy, my first thought was that you wanted to ride on Li Mo's popularity to debut.
But now it seems I was wrong!
Meng Ziyi said sarcastically, "Thank you for your comfort, but your hypocritical attitude is really disgusting."
Old Wang was unaffected and mimicked the tone of his superior in that action movie, saying:
"Haha... Thank you for the compliment. But you reminded me that we could arrange for Li Mo to find a currently popular female star to create hype together. Do you have any recommendations?"
I will take your suggestion into consideration. If you see Li Mo in the news with someone else, you are allowed to identify whichever woman is you.
"Snap!"
Meng Ziyi picked up her coffee and splashed it in Old Wang's face. "You're a... beast!"
Old Wang licked his coffee, chuckled, and said, "Don't blame me. Blame yourself. Being bad at acting is the original sin in the entertainment industry!"
"If you were Yang Mi or Fan Bingbing now, I might even be happy for Li Mo, but alas..."
Meng Ziyi couldn't listen anymore, grabbed her bag, and ran out of the coffee shop.
She ran a long way until she reached a deserted corner, and then burst into tears.
Shortly after Meng Ziyi left, Li Mo slowly walked out from another part of the coffee shop.
Old Wang immediately stepped forward to claim credit, saying, "Boss, I did a good job, didn't I!"
Li Mo's lips twitched, his hands clenched tightly. "Not bad, not bad at all, but why do I feel like slapping you right now?"
...
Meng Ziyi returned to the hotel and collapsed onto the bed.
This room, which was enveloped in happiness yesterday, has become cold and heartbreaking today.
The feeling of being forcibly pulled down from the clouds is truly unpleasant.
She packed her bags silently while shedding tears, having lost all desire to share, she didn't even want to talk to Sister Qian.
I kept replaying the experiences of the past few days in my mind, especially today's.
In particular, Meng Ziyi felt that the middle-aged man's last few words were an insult to him.
What do you mean by "because I made you think of creating a CP (couple pairing) between Li Mo and someone else"?
What do you mean by "Do you have any corresponding opinions"?
What do you mean by "allowing you to put yourself in their shoes"?
Seriously... that's enough!
I didn't do anything to you, why are you bullying me like this?
I was already very upset!
Amidst the grief of losing a loved one, the injustice of being insulted, and the pain brought about by such a stark contrast.
But it is precisely under these circumstances that people's psychology undergoes drastic changes.
Meng Ziyi suddenly remembered the last words the middle-aged man had said earlier that day.
"The food... is the original sin! If you were Yang Mi... or Fan Bingbing... I might be even happier..."
At this point, Mencius no longer viewed these words as an insult, but as a target.
An immense power surged within her, urging her toward this goal.
Meng Ziyi wiped away her tears and immediately booked a flight to Beijing.
At this moment, her desire to return to Beijing Film Academy was stronger than ever. She quickly packed her bags and prepared to leave this place of heartbreak.
Just as she was carrying her luggage and passing by the front desk, about to leave, a waiter came over.
"Hello ma'am, a middle-aged man left you a note this morning."
Meng Ziyi immediately guessed that it was left by that disgusting person. He took the note from the waiter and read it.
[Please split the room fee, thank you. Card number: 6584****]
"hateful!"
