Chapter 641: Strongest Competitor

The premiere was usually just a formality, so after only one interview, the movie started.

As their movie Sleepless started to play, Dream of a Long Life 2, which many people had been waiting for, started to play in another cinema that was not far away from their press conference.

Out of curiosity, Ke Wei, the assistant director of Dream of a Long Life 2, snuck into the cinema and watched the premiere of Sleepless.

He had thought that since Mu Weiwei was so young, the directing would not be any better.

However, after the movie, he was deeply shocked.

Whether it was the control of the plot or the storyboard design, this movie was flawless.

Even a director like him, who had been in the industry for years, could not help but admire her from the bottom of his heart.

After the release, he left early and returned to the premiere of Dream of a Long Life 2.

The pre-screening had just ended and the director and Ling Yan were in the middle of an interview with some film critics.

They did not return to the hotel until it was dark.

Assistant Director Ke Wei thought of the movie that he had been unable to calm down after watching for a long time, so he went to find Director James and Ling Yan.

“I heard that you went to watch Sleepless?” James asked in amusement.

Although he was only the assistant director of Dream of a Long Life 2, he was already a famous director.

But yet he went to watch the work of a 19-year-old girl, who had never learnt anything about directing movies.

“Sleepless has exceeded my expectations. I feel that it will be a strong competitor at the box office.” Assistant Director Ke Wei confessed what he was thinking.

After watching the movie, he felt threatened by Sleepless.

Although he found it hard to believe that such a well-made movie was directed by a 19-year-old young actress, who also starred as the female lead.

“Ke Wei, you are overexaggerating.” James did not care.

“James, you should have watched that movie, you would have been ashamed of yourself.” Ke Wei said.

Yes, ashamed.

They had been in the industry for so many years and were considered famous directors but he had never made a movie that was so impactful and vivid, so much so that he felt ashamed after watching Sleepless.

“Embarrassed?” The more James heard, the more ridiculous it sounded. He curiously asked, “What exactly did they film that you gave such a high evaluation?”

“It is a dark suspense film that is totally different from Dream of a Long Life 2. This movie will definitely be our biggest competitor.” Assistant Director Ke Wei said seriously.

Director James said in amusement, “Don’t you know that this director is being boycotted by everyone because she hit an actress in Hua Land? Most of the screenings have been cancelled.”

“Cancelled?” Ke Wei was surprised.

Ling Yan said nonchalantly, “It is only temporary.”

She had Fu Hanzheng behind her back, so even if she was boycotted by everyone, Fu Hanzheng could still turn the situation around with one word.

Still curious about what the movie was about, James asked Ke Wei, “What did that director do?”

Ke Wei thought for a while and said, “She portrayed the fantasy world of a mental patient, and she said that she had a heart transplant, but the female protagonist harmed her sister and dug out her heart in order to survive…”

Hearing the words, Ling Yan’s hands trembled and her face changed.

Chapter 642: Fu Hanzheng

“What is her movie about?”

Assistant Director Ke Wei looked at her curiously and said, “They also used a heart transplant theme, but their synopsis is that the female lead murdered her own sister and had her heart transplanted so that she could survive. She could not face everything and created a world in her mind where she was the innocent person. The murderer and the victim were both different people. Be it the idea or the filming method, or the performance of every actor, they were all very impactful…”

“Heart transplant?” Ling Yan was a bit agitated and asked, “Why did she use a heart transplant theme?”

Also, it was used as a murder scene.

“You have to ask the director herself. Although it is a heart transplant storyline, the story is totally different to ours. It must be a coincidence…”

Assistant Director Ke Wei thought that she was trying to find fault in him, so he quickly explained.

Dream of a Long Life 2 was a story about how the female lead started a new life after receiving a heart transplant surgery and then devoted herself to charity, so as to pay back the good deed of her heart donor.

It was a totally different story from the movie Sleepless. One was warm and sunny, while the other was dark and mysterious. They were two totally different storylines and styles.

“Just a coincidence?” Ling Yan paced back and forth, looking very serious.

If this movie was made by someone else, she might believe it.

But she just could not believe that Mu Weiwei was the one who filmed the movie and performed it.

When she was at the Gu Family, she also played Gu Weiwei too well.

What did she mean by making this movie, or did she really know about Gu Weiwei’s death?

But if the Dorrans Family failed to find anything and Gu Siting failed to find anything, how could she possibly know anything?

First, she imitated Gu Weiwei’s voice, then she played the role of Gu Weiwei in the Gu Family and even fooled Gu Siting. Now the movie was coincidentally showing the truth of Gu Weiwei’s death…

What did Mu Weiwei know and how did she know about it?

“Miss. Ling, what is wrong? You look terrible.” Deputy Director Ke Wei asked.

Ling Yan came back to herself and shook her head.

“Nothing, go on.”

It must be a coincidence, a coincidence… Apart from her and her mother, no one else knew how Gu Weiwei died.

It was just a coincidence that she had made a film about a heart transplant and then added a murder storyline.

She took a sip of water and consoled herself.

Ke Wei said, “This movie will put a lot of pressure on me. Didn’t you say that Mu Weiwei is being boycotted at home? Maybe I can use this opportunity…”

He had seen the movie with his own eyes, and in all aspects, it was not worse than Dream of a Long Life 2.

In fact, some places were even better than theirs.

If the movie was released later on, the box office turnover would be very high.

Also, the award ceremony was just around the corner, and they had spent so much effort to make Dream of a Long Life 2, so they might miss the award because of this strong opponent.

He and James had worked together to direct the movie and the scriptwriter was a famous master; Ling Yan was also the lead actress.

If Dream of a Long Life 2, which was known as the strongest lineup in the film industry, lost to such a small movie, all of them would lose their reputation.

“We can’t make use of her, she will turn the tables soon.” Ling Yan said straightforwardly.

Li Xing’er was such a dumbass that she didn’t even know that Mu Weiwei had Fu Hanzheng behind her back. How could she possibly bring her down?

Chapter 643: Li Xing’er That Idiot

If it had not been for Fu Hanzheng, she would have done something to her too.

But when Gu Siting tried to take her away last time, Fu Hanzheng took advantage of her and locked her up in the lab for the entire night.

So much time had passed but she still had nightmares.

Hearing her words, Ke Wei unwillingly asked, “Why?”

She had already reached the point where everyone was boycotting her, yet she still wanted to turn the situation around. She was indeed very capable.

“She is Fu Hanzheng’s girlfriend, she can turn the situation around with one word.” Ling Yan snorted.

They must have been waiting for the right time to strike, when they did not do anything.

“Fu… Fu Hanzheng?” Ke Wei was startled.

He was Chinese too, so he knew what Fu Hanzheng was like.

Although he had known that most female stars in the film industry had powerful backers, he had never expected that Mu Weiwei, who was so young, would have the support of Fu Hanzheng, the richest man in the Hua Land.

“So don’t ask for trouble.” Ling Yan glanced at Ke Wei and warned.

Li Xing’er was courting death, let her be.

She had just restarted her career and she did not want to get involved in this.

Also, Gu Siting was too busy to help her.

“But their movie… is going to put us under a lot of pressure.” Deputy Director Ke Wei said.

Ling Yan smiled coldly. “Director Ke, she is just a newbie, what kind of film can she make?”

She had been frightened after hearing about the storyline she had filmed, but did Ke Wei have to look so serious?

“If we can’t do anything to her, then we must start with our own promotion. We need to do even more promotion in order to maintain the high box office return.” Assistant Director Ke Wei said to them seriously.

Dream of a Long Life was already at the peak of movies. Even if they could not exceed the first movie, they must not be surpassed by other movies.

“Why should we be afraid of them?” James found it funny.

“James, don’t take it lightly. They really are our opponents.” Ke Wei said seriously.

Although they had tried their best to make Dream of a Long Life 2, after the filming, he kept watching the first movie and the one they had filmed.

He had a feeling that compared to the first Dream of a Long Life, they were missing something that could shock people.

However, he felt that there was that power in Sleepless.

Seeing Ke Wei’s serious expression, Ling Yan said, “Got it, I will call the company later and increase the promotion.”

She would not allow Sleepless to surpass them, nor would she allow Mu Weiwei to surpass her, the legendary Movie Queen.

But was Mu Weiwei’s movie really as good as he claimed?

Also, when she thought of what Ke Wei said about the plot where the murderer had her heart transplanted, she felt uneasy.

She knew that Mu Weiwei was Mu Weiwei and Gu Weiwei was Gu Weiwei.

But she had too much of Gu Weiwei’s similitude in her, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and Fu Hanzheng was a powerful backer.

She did not like her, but she could not do anything about it.

She met Ke Wei and said to her agent, when she returned to her room, “Go and find out if Mu Weiwei is free tomorrow, I will buy the coffee.”

She needed to know if the storyline was a coincidence… or if she really knew something.

Chapter 644: Ling Yan

At the same time in her hotel room, Gu Weiwei had just returned after finishing the work and called Fu Hanzheng.

They were just talking happily, when the doorbell rang.

She opened the door and found that it was Ling Yan’s agent.

“What is it?”

“Miss. Mu, are you free tomorrow? Miss. Ling would like to buy you a cup of coffee.” The agent gave Gu Weiwei the message with a friendly smile.

Gu Weiwei snorted. “No, I am not.”

Having said these words, she closed the door.

She and Ling Yan were not close enough to have coffee together.

Lei Ning said that she had seen Ling Yan’s people attending the premiere, so Ling Yan must have found out the synopsis of their movie, where the main lead killed someone and dug out their heart. It must have made her feel nervous.

And now she wanted to ask her out for coffee and test her.

Ling Yan’s agent stood outside the door, completely startled. She had not expected that she would be turned down so quickly.

So she went back and told Ling Yan about the rejection.

Although Ling Yan was very angry, she could not let go of the question she was worried about.

Therefore, she went to the restaurant where Mu Weiwei and Song Yu were eating the following afternoon.

“Miss. Mu, do you have time to talk with me?”

“No.” Gu Weiwei turned her down with a smile.

She had just had lunch and she was afraid that she would throw up the food she had just eaten, if she spent even a minute talking with her.

“A few minutes, surely.”

Ling Yan did not give up because of her rejection. She was determined to talk with her.

Gu Weiwei threw a look at Song Yu and the others and said, “You can leave now, I need to talk with Movie Queen Ling.”

Was she so guilty that she could not sit still, when she heard that there was such a murderous scene in the movie?

If she went to watch the movie with her own eyes, she would be so frightened that she would not be able to sleep at night.

Song Yu and Qiu Ling left first, but Lei Ning sat down not far from her and waited.

Seeing them leaving, Ling Yan sat down.

“Sorry, my agent came to you last night and you turned him down. This is the only way I can meet you.”

Gu Weiwei looked at the woman sitting opposite her with interest. “What is it that Movie Queen Ling wants to see me about so urgently?”

Ling Yan thought for a moment and said, “Director Ke Wei went to watch the premiere of your movie and gave a very high evaluation after he came back, so I am just a bit curious.”

Gu Weiwei asked with a smile, “What are you curious about?”

“Miss. Mu is so young, when did you become a director?”

“You would of course learn something if you work hard.” Gu Weiwei said.

That was not the truth, of course. No matter how smart she was, she would not learn to be a director after just two movies.

“Did your scriptwriter finish the script alone or did you finish it together?” Ling Yan asked.

Gu Weiwei asked, even though she knew the answer, “What is Movie Queen Ling asking about?”

“Oh, Director Ke Wei said that this movie is very wonderful. I was thinking that if the scriptwriter finished the script for the movie himself, I would like him to write a script for our next movie…”

Ling Yan found an excuse to conceal her real purpose.

“I did it with him.” Gu Weiwei said with a smile.

She asked this question because she wanted to know if she was the one who put the heart into the story or the scriptwriter.

If she said that it was written by the scriptwriter, then it must be a coincidence.

But if she said that she was involved, Ling Yan would only feel uneasy.

She would wonder if she knew something, but because of Fu Hanzheng, she did not dare to do anything to her. She would live in fear every single day.

Chapter 645: Heart Transplant

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Ling Yan’s face changed.

But she still forced a smile. “Did the scriptwriter write the heart transplant scene, or did you add it as the director?”

“I did.” Seeing the panic in Ling Yan’s eyes, Gu Weiwei’s smile deepened.

“Why?” Ling Yan asked.

Why did she have to add such a storyline?

Gu Weiwei smiled. “The story needs to be told. Could it be that after Movie Queen Ling made “Dream of a Long Life” because of her heart transplant she will not allow anyone else to use such a theme?”

Others might not be able to see the connection between Dream of a Long Life and Sleepless, but she knew that Ling Yan noticed it.

Dream of a Long Life was like a mask of gentleness and kindness that she showed in front of people, but Sleepless was her dark and real self.

To the public, she was a legendary Movie Queen who was suffering from a terminal disease and had received a heart transplant.

But in fact, she was the murderer who wanted to survive and stole the heart she used for her heart transplant.

She knew that this movie had touched Ling Yan’s sore spot, and that was why she came to her so eagerly, hoping to find out something from her.

She was afraid that after believing that only she and her mother, Ji Fang, knew about the secret of the murder, a third person would suddenly know about it. She was also afraid that Gu Siting and the Dorrans Family would come to know about it.

“Of course not, I am just curious why Miss. Mu would add such a storyline.” Ling Yan could not keep up the smile.

Gu Weiwei looked at Ling Yan’s pale face and said with a smile, “Hasn’t the Dorrans Family been investigating the death of Gu Weiwei from the Gu Family? That is why I got this idea. Could it have been you, Movie Queen Ling, who killed her in order to survive by transplanting her heart…”

“You…” Ling Yan gritted her teeth.

“Don’t be angry, Movie Queen Ling. Art comes from life, it is just the idea of the movie, not that you are the murderer.” Gu Weiwei explained.

Ling Yan glared at the girl who was sitting opposite her, talking and laughing, yet she found she was unpredictable.

She did not know which of her words were true and which ones were false, but the truth made her even more frightened.

The Dorrans Family had not given up on the investigation yet. If they heard the news, they would have to investigate her again.

Seeing Ling Yan’s fear, Gu Weiwei smiled coldly.

If she started to get scared now, she would not be able to take the blow.

“Movie Queen Ling, is there anything else?”

“Miss. Mu, what do you mean by the plot of the movie?” Ling Yan asked coldly.

She sounded as if she knew something, but she also sounded like she didn’t.

“Nothing more than what it is, it is just a movie. Movie Queen Ling is so anxious to interrogate me, you would think that I have hit the nail on the head.” Gu Weiwei smiled.

Ling Yan was annoyed, but she had to keep a smile on her face.

“I don’t mean that.”

“What, can I do this to you if you didn’t have a heart transplant?” Gu Weiwei chuckled.

Seeing her smiling face, Ling Yan was very annoyed, but she could not show it in front of her.

If she continued to hold on to this matter, she would reveal her guilty conscience and people would think that what happened in the movie was true.

“Don’t mind me, Miss. Mu, I am just curious. Goodbye.”

Having said those words, she left with her bag.

Chapter 646: Sleepless

She had thought that she would be able to get the information she wanted and confirm if Mu Weiwei really knew anything.

But she had not expected that Mu Weiwei would be so cunning. Instead of getting the information she wanted, she ended up being even more annoyed by her words.

If she was just a minor actress from Hua Land, she would have shut her up forever.

But she had Fu Hanzheng backing her.

Therefore, although she deeply hated Mu Weiwei, she could not do anything to her.

After seeing Mu Weiwei, Ling Yan returned to the hotel room, where her agent and Ke Wei were already waiting for her.

“Look at the media reports and film critics today.”

Then he gave her the iPad.

Ling Yan took it and glanced at it. She was first praised by an authoritative media company: [Mu Weiwei is the biggest surprise of this year.]

Then came the comments of two film critics on Sleepless: [The story goes deeper and deeper and what I see is not a group of people performing a fictional story, but a real story. I can’t wait to watch it again, when it is released globally.]

[Whether it is the control of the plot or the storyline, every actor’s performance is perfect. I can’t believe that the director is only 19 years old.]

…

Basically, the reports and comments after the premiere of Sleepless were all high praises.

Ling Yan asked, “So what if she is highly praised, will we lose to her?”

Would a major production directed by a master director like theirs, lose to a low-budget movie?

Her agent showed her the comments about Dream of a Long Life 2 after the premiere.

[Dream of a Long Life 2 has disappointed me. It has no power to move me.]

[After watching Dream of a Long Life 2, I miss the first Dream of a Long Life]

…

“Although most of the media and film critics are speaking up for us, there are still many voices like these.” The agent said.

Ling Yan tossed the iPad onto the sofa and looked even worse.

“How did this happen?”

When Dream of a Long Life was released, there were almost no negative comments, and the box office was full of praise.

They had put in so much effort to film the second movie, and it was only just the premiere, yet such negative voices were heard.

“I told you that Sleepless is our biggest competitor.” Assistant Director Ke Wei said.

Dream of a Long Life 2 was the sequel to Dream of a Long Life, so the audience would definitely compare it with the first one.

But compared to the first movie, they were not doing very well in many aspects.

Although they had put in some effort into the storyline, the director was James, a blockbuster director who released movies in Europe and America, so the shooting technique and rhythm were more westernized, and some parts were not delicate enough.

Most importantly, Ling Yan, the lead actress, had lost the charm from the first movie.

Although she was trying very hard to act, her performance in the first film was way better.

Because of these reasons, their Dream of a Long Life 2 could not surpass the first classic.

It was unamusing that they could not surpass the classics, but it would be absolutely ridiculous if they were surpassed by others.

And now, the movie Sleepless might be a better opponent than them.

“Even if she is the opponent, we can’t stop them from showing.” Ling Yan said with her teeth clenched.

As long as Fu Hanzheng did not break up with Mu Weiwei, Mu Weiwei would be able to do whatever she wanted and they would be helpless.

Chapter 647: Li Xing’er’s Bill

Director James was a bit surprised that such a low-budget movie, would be so highly regarded by the media and film critics.

But he did not feel as threatened as Ke Wei did.

“There were very few people at the premiere, so it is normal that there are very few negative comments.”

“It is not that there are a few negative comments, but that there are none at all.” Ke Wei warned him.

James said, “But overall, we won’t lose in the box office. Also, after the judges finished watching the movie last night, they praised our movie so much. Don’t worry too much.”

Maybe the other party was indeed excellent, but at most, he would get a newbie award and it was not enough to beat them.

Ling Yan thought for a while and said, “We can increase the promotion after we return back home. As for the comments and media reports, they can be solved with money.”

She did not want Mu Weiwei’s movie to be released.

But because of Fu Hanzheng, she could not stop her.

All she could do was to win a high box office return for this movie and not let any movie exceed hers.

Ke Wei thought for a while. Now that the movie was out, that was all they could do.

A few days later, the films released at the Lugano Film Festival were included in the list of nominees, including Gu Weiwei’s Sleepless and Ling Yan’s Dream of a Long Life 2.

Although there was still one more week before the film festival finished and the final award was announced, Gu Weiwei and the others had to get ready to return home.

Because tomorrow was the premiere of Sleepless, and as the main cast, they had to attend it.

However, when Qiu Ling was waiting for the plane, she did some online research and found that Mu Weiwei was still being boycotted by everyone.

And so the movie Sleepless, which she had directed and starred in, was also being boycotted by angry people.

Also, after a few days of fermentation, the anger of the public had reached an unprecedented height.

She sighed as she thought about it. They were coming home from Switzerland today and it would be tomorrow when they returned home. They were just in time for the premiere.

Since the first premiere had been held in Switzerland, the movie would soon be released after the domestic premiere.

But the current situation did not look like a happy premiere.

Also, if the screening was cancelled, how much box office could they get with the Fu’s Enterprise’s cinemas?

Mu Weiwei had said on Weibo that she would give the public an explanation on Monday.

It was Monday and she was still in Switzerland with them. There was no movement from the agency either.

She was about to ask her about it when she saw her getting up to make a call.

With the phone in her hand, Gu Weiwei walked to a quiet place and asked Jolin, who had answered the call, “How are the preparations going?”

“Don’t worry, everything will be settled when you are back.” Jolin said and reminded them. “Even if you return home, there will be a lot of media reporters waiting for you at the airport.”

“Got it, we will be careful.” Gu Weiwei said.

“But it would be a pity if you don’t do it yourself, especially because it is so important.” Jolin said with a smile.

Gu Weiwei chuckled. “Didn’t I already do that?”

When Li Xing’er went to find her, she knew that something bad was going to happen. When she tried to provoke her, she already knew what she was up to.

Li Xing’er pretended to be the victim to gain sympathy. She had been in the limelight for so many days and it was time for her to pay the price.

Nothing was free.

Chapter 648: Face Slapping

This was a day that many people had been waiting for.

Li Xing’er’s fans, and angry passers-by, were waiting for Mu Weiwei to take responsibility for what she had done, while Mu Weiwei’s loyal fans were waiting for their idol to reveal the truth.

Therefore, they had been following Mu Weiwei’s Weibo and waiting for her to explain what had happened.

In the makeup room of the Capital TV Station, Li Xing’er was having her makeup done by her own personal makeup artist, when she said, “Don’t put on lipstick, I need to look pale and weak.”

The agent mumbled.

“Shiyi Culture asked us to go on the show with them, is this a trick?”

The day before yesterday, Shiyi Culture contacted them and asked them to do an interview with them, so they could solve the problem.

Mu Weiwei also said that since it happened at the TV Station, she should solve it at the TV Station.

Therefore, she asked them to meet for a program called Dialogue.

This program had always been an emotional program that provided a platform for couples, friends, and parents and children to talk with each other.

“She is not capable enough to turn the situation around.” Li Xing’er snorted.

Since she had been beaten up at the TV Station before, the people of the TV Station were generally on her side.

“Mu Weiwei is still in Switzerland and so she won’t be on the show.” The agent said.

“She would not dare to show herself in this situation, because she would be ripped to shreds by the audience.” Li Xing’er snorted proudly.

The agent thought for a while and reminded her.

“Be generous and polite later on, as long as Mu Weiwei apologizes to you in front of everyone, nothing else matters.”

The more gentle and generous they were, the more arrogant Mu Weiwei would look and the more the fans and audience would sympathize with them.

“Got it.” Li Xing’er checked her own makeup in front of the mirror and said, “Tell them to release the news that Mu Weiwei slept with someone.”

Hearing the words, the agent made a call to the team in charge.

In the lounge on the other side, Jolin adjusted his hairstyle and asked the makeup artist to fix his eyebrows.

Fu Shiyi looked at him speechlessly. “You can just turn on the livestream and explain the situation, why must you go through all of this?”

“Of course it needs to be in person and not online, when it comes to face slapping.” Jolin sneered.

At the beginning, he had planned to release the evidence in the livestream and explain the matter.

But seeing how well she had been performing these past few days, he just wanted to meet Li Xing’er face to face. That would be even more interesting.

“Okay, we will wait for your performance.” Fu Shiyi said with his arms crossed.

They were definitely going to make a big fuss out of it. It would be much more interesting to see them face to face on the show.

By the time sister-in-law and her crew returned home tomorrow, the situation would be under their control and the premiere would be very lively.

“Just watch.”

Jolin adjusted his hairstyle and took a sip of water to moisten his throat, in case his tongue got dry.

They were just talking, when the staff knocked on the door.

“The show starts in one minute, please get ready.”

Jolin stood up and said to Fu Shiyi, “Leave the stage to me, and I’ll leave the backstage to you.”

They needed to work with each other in order to make an impact.

“Got it.” Fu Shiyi said and went out with Jolin to the broadcasting room.

Chapter 649: Live Face Slapping

At 6:30 p.m, the livestream of Dialogue started.

At the beginning, the host went on stage to introduce the participants and the reason why they were coming on the show together.

The live-stream chat was filled with comments.

[Mu Weiwei, get out of the entertainment industry!]

[Boycott Mu Weiwei, boycott her!]

[I suggest that Li Xing’er should slap her back as many times as she is slapped]

[We are already near the TV Station, if she does not apologize on the spot, she will not be able to leave today.]

…

The host introduced the time and situation of the conflict and then invited Li Xing’er and her agent onto the stage.

Dressed in a white chiffon dress, Li Xing’er looked a bit tired. The wound on her face had disappeared, but apparently, she had not rested well because of the recent incident.

The moment she came out, the comments were full of heartache.

[I feel so sorry for Li Xing’er.]

[If I don’t slap Mu Weiwei 100 times, I will never be able to get rid of my hatred!]

[My heart aches for Xing’er, she is so badly injured but she still has to do the promotion for the movie.]

[Li Xing’er did not say anything bad about Mu Weiwei when she was interviewed.]

…

After the introduction, Li Xing’er greeted the host and audience with a smile.

The host had noticed her injury the other day, so she asked with concern, “Xing’er, are you alright?”

Li Xing’er smiled gently. “I am fine now, thank you for your concern.”

The host thought for a while and asked, “Then… what are you expecting to happen on this show when you talk with Mu Weiwei?”

Li Xing’er said, “I just need Mu Weiwei to apologize to me.”

The host felt wronged.

“You were seriously injured, don’t you hate her?”

Li Xing’er shook her head. “It is wrong of her to do that, but… I can understand her.”

Seeing Li Xing’er being so kind-hearted, the host could not help but feel sorry for her.

“Okay, then let’s get Mu Weiwei’s apology. Mu Weiwei is still abroad, so her agent, Mr. Jolin, is here on her behalf.”

Having said the words, Jolin walked onto the stage and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Xing’er.

“Hello, host, hello, Miss. Li.”

Seeing Jolin coming onto the stage alone, the host asked with a smile, “Did Manager Qiao speak with Miss. Mu today?”

Jolin nodded. “Yes, she is quite busy and there’s no need for her to waste her time on this.”

Hearing his words, Li Xing’er felt a bit disappointed.

The host was a bit angry, but she could not criticize the other party, so she continued to host the program.

“Then, did your girl, Miss. Mu Weiwei, really hit Miss. Li Xing’er in the makeup room at the TV Station?”

Jolin said, “Yes, but she doesn’t remember how many times.”

The host threw a look at Li Xing’er and asked, “Did Mu Weiwei tell you why she did that?”

“She did, it’s because she deserves to be hit.” Jolin crossed his legs and said arrogantly, “She came to my girl’s dressing room by herself, so of course she is asking for a beating!”

“Mr. Qiao!” The host interrupted him and said, “Even if she broke into her dressing room, she shouldn’t have hit her, right? And she hit her so hard!”

Jolin glanced at Li Xing’er, who was pretending to be pitiful, and snorted.

“Then, Miss. Li, can you tell us what you said in the dressing room the other day?”

Chapter 650: Live Face Slapping 2

Startled, Li Xing’er smiled.

“Just some private words.”

Mu Weiwei must have told Jolin what she had said in the dressing room.

But no one would believe what Jolin said.

Most of the audience were on her side, and even if Jolin was telling the truth, no one would believe him.

“Private words?” Jolin sneered and said, “Then tell me, what did you say that made her hit you?”

Li Xing’er exchanged a look with her agent and said, “Actually, my mother and Mu Weiwei’s father are married but she has always hated us. We met the other day because I wanted to invite her home to visit father…”

If she did not speak about it, Jolin would have revealed it, so she might as well say it herself.

Hearing her words, the host was a bit confused, but soon realized what was going on.

“Xing’er, are you saying that your father is Mu Weiwei’s father?”

Li Xing’er nodded. “Mu Weiwei found it unacceptable that my mother and Father Li remarried, so she left home and became distant from us. That day, we talked about letting her go home and then…”

The host sighed and consoled her.

“You are just being nice. Even if she has something against you, she should not have attacked you so ruthlessly.”

Jolin looked at the host in amusement. She was totally on Li Xing’er’s side.

She had a lot of supporters, right? Luckily, he had a strong hand, so she was going to be slapped in the face.

The host consoled Li Xing’er and asked Jolin, “Manager Qiao, I can understand why Mu Weiwei can’t accept her father marrying someone else, but it is not right to hit someone.”

“Is that wrong?” Jolin snorted and said as he threw a look at Li Xing’er. “It was good that I wasn’t there, otherwise it wouldn’t have been Mu Weiwei that slapped you, but me!”

“Agent Qiao…”

The host had not expected that not only was Mu Weiwei so violent but so was her agent.

Not only was the host displeased, but the audience was also furious.

[Mu Weiwei and her agent should get out of the entertainment industry.]

[I don’t want to see such a terrible artiste again, a terrible agent]

[You are not sorry at all for hitting her! You are so arrogant!]

…

“My mother and Father Li loved each other, so they got together after Aunt Mu passed away. But Mu Weiwei just could not accept it.”

Li Xing’er pitifully sighed, as if she was blaming herself.

Li Xing’er had spoken about the family relationship several times before, and she had also mentioned that her parents were remarried and her step-father and her mother were in love with each other when they were young but did not get together until many years later.

Among Li Xing’er’s fans, they found the love between her parents very touching.

Jolin sneered. “They do love each other. When Mu Weiwei’s mother was still alive, they got together.”

“Agent Jolin, don’t talk nonsense. My mother and Father Li used to work in the same company but they have always been innocent. They only got together after Aunt Mu passed away. Don’t ruin their relationship…” Li Xing’er countered.

Few people knew about the real relationship between her mother and father, and no one would believe what he and Mu Weiwei said.
