Jia Li looked at Fu Ying and shrugged helplessly. “You saw it. It’s not that I’m unwilling, but she’s unwilling!”
Fu Ying stared at Mo Rao deeply. He knew that Mo Rao had rejected him because of him.
He didn’t say anything else and just drank.
Could it be that after doing so much, he had pushed Mo Rao further away?
“It’s already a little late. Qu You, I have to go home. Otherwise, my brother will scold me.” Mo Rao looked at the time and found an excuse to leave. She didn’t want to sit opposite Fu Ying anymore and suffer his burning gaze.
“Alright, I’ll send you!” Qu You immediately stood up.
Unexpectedly, Fu Ying was even faster. He stood in front of Qu You and said, “I’m leaving too. I’ll send her off along the way.”
Qu You was stunned. Along the way? Mo Rao’s car was still parked at the Qu family’s house. She had to send Mo Rao back to the Qu family’s home and let Mo Rao drive back herself.
“No need, it’s not along the way!” Mo Rao immediately rejected.
“The two of you drank and can’t drive. I brought my assistant. He’s downstairs.” Fu Ying’s answer made Mo Rao speechless.
Calling a designated driver was indeed a little troublesome.
Qu You knew that if she continued to stop him, she would be going against Fu Ying. She quickly waved her hand and said, “That makes sense. What if we get caught drunk driving? Mo Rao, just trouble Fu Ying. I have to call a designated driver later.”
With that, she pretended to be drunk and fell down on the sofa. The others also acted drunk since they didn’t dare to go against Fu Ying.
Mo Rao was speechless. Without speaking, she left the private room.
Fu Ying knew that she had tacitly agreed and immediately followed her out.
However, when she went outside, she realized that Fu Ying didn’t bring his assistant with him at all. He drove himself.
“Where’s Gu Hai?” Mo Rao asked.
“I didn’t bring him,” Fu Ying replied honestly.
“You lied to me again?! Didn’t you drink as well? Forget it, I’ll call a taxi myself.” Mo Rao wanted to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car, but she realized that the door was locked.
Fu Ying said helplessly, “Didn’t you realize that I haven’t been drinking?”
It was so that he could send Mo Rao home. In order to spend more time with her, he had really put in a lot of effort.
Mo Rao didn’t notice that. She had been feeling very nervous just now. After Fu Ying said that he hadn’t been drinking, she couldn’t find an excuse to get out of the car anymore and could only sit down again.
Fu Ying started the car. “You moved? Where’s your new home?”
“Go to the Qu family’s home first. My car is at the Qu family’s home,” Mo Rao replied in a muffled voice.
“Let’s go straight back to your house. Just send someone to pick up the car tomorrow.” Fu Ying had already made the decision for Mo Rao. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome for Mo Rao to call a designated driver from the Qu family’s home.
Mo Rao turned to look out of the window angrily and ignored Fu Ying.
Fu Ying sighed. “Do you want me to call your brother to ask for the address?”
If Mo Yuan knew that Mo Rao was with him, he would definitely give him the address, since he was afraid that the two of them would stay together for too long.
Fu Ying actually used Mo Yuan to threaten her? Mo Rao glared at Fu Ying and angrily gave him the address.
So she had moved there. No wonder no one was there when he looked for her at the original address.
“Okay.” Fu Ying nodded. The car drove steadily in silence.
After a while, Fu Ying spoke again. “Jia Li is a very talented and ambitious director. His next movie has been in the works for several years. It’s a very meaningful movie. If you can be the female lead and perform well, you can win a lot of important domestic awards.”
How could Mo Rao not know? However, she didn’t want to be involved with Fu Ying for the sake of her career.
If Fu Ying had not wanted to invest in Jia Li’s movie, she definitely would have agreed.
“I know,” Mo Rao replied calmly.
“Then why did you refuse?” Fu Ying turned to look at this little woman. “Just because I’m investing in it, you want to give up on advancing your career?”
Mo Rao pursed her lips, but didn’t speak.
“I’m just investing, but I won’t interfere with anything you do, nor will I use this excuse to ask you to repay me or try to pester you.”
Fu Ying sighed. “I just think your acting skills are very good and you have potential, but there’s no suitable platform for you to showcase your talent in the domestic market for the time being. When Jia Li returned to the country, I knew that an opportunity had come. I specifically came to tell him about this. I didn’t expect you to be there, so I mentioned it on the spot.”
“Fu Ying, stop contributing for nothing. It won’t work. This is not good for you or me.” Mo Rao finally said what was on her mind.
