Chapter 387: I’m Back
It wasn’t until the following day that Fu Ying sent a statement from his account. “I can guarantee that I didn’t overstep my boundaries with Mo Xiao. Last night, I was drugged. I will investigate the truth and give everyone an explanation. If Mo Xiao insists, she can call the police.”
Seeing that he openly asked Mo Xiao to call the police, the netizens were in an uproar again.
“Fu Ying is that confident?! Someone actually dared to drug Fu Ying?! Could there be some sort of inside story?”
“Who knows? Fu Ying is powerful. He can probably do whatever he wants.”
“I don’t think Fu Ying would do such a thing. There’s something fishy about this matter. Perhaps Mo Xiao set him up!”
…
Just as the netizens were discussing fervently, Fu Ying sent another hospital test report.
Yesterday morning, he went to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup immediately. At that time, the hospital had found some residual aphrodisiac elements in him that proved his innocence.
After knowing that Fu Ying had been drugged, public opinion changed.
The moment Mo Rao turned on her phone, she saw the trending topic about Fu Ying. However, she only glanced at it before closing it.
With Fu Ying’s ability, it should not be a problem for him to resolve such a matter.
The filming of ‘Butterfly Fragrance’ was about to begin, so Mo Rao stayed home every day to read the script. She only hoped that the progress of this movie would go smoothly.
Whether she could win an award in the country depended on her performance in this movie.
Just as Mo Rao was reading the script seriously, her phone suddenly vibrated.
It was an unfamiliar number.
“Mo Rao, I’m back in the country, and in your city. Gu Ci.”
Gu Ci?
Mo Rao immediately straightened her body.
Gu Ci was a man she met overseas. He was somewhat similar to Fu Ying. They had both inherited the family business and were cold and domineering.
She met Gu Ci when she was working overseas. She thought that they wouldn’t meet again, but she didn’t expect that she would end up working part-time in a restaurant under Gu Ci. After that, she embarked on the acting path, and Gu Ci helped her a lot.
Mo Yuan also knew of Gu Ci’s existence. Previously, he brought Mo Rao along when he treated Gu Ci to a meal to thank him.
Mo Rao and Gu Ci had always maintained a friendly distance. Sometimes, Mo Rao didn’t even know if Gu Ci was truly her friend.
After returning to the country, she had no further contact with Gu Ci, so Gu Ci sending her a message when he returned to the country really surprised Mo Rao.
After thinking about it, Mo Rao replied, “Welcome back. Let’s get together when we have time.”
After that, there was no further reply.
When Mo Yuan returned home that night, Mo Rao told him about this.
“Gu Ci has returned to the country?! Hasn’t he been developing overseas? Could it be that he came back for you?” Mo Yuan started gossiping again. “When we were overseas, I felt that he was interested in you.”
“Do you think I’m a fairy? How can every man be interested in me?” Mo Rao was speechless.
Mo Yuan chuckled and patted Mo Rao’s head. “You’re loved by everyone!”
“Maybe Gu Ci is just back to deal with business.” Mo Rao didn’t care so much and treated it as a greeting from a friend she had not seen for a long time.
Mo Yuan hoped that Gu Ci would settle down in the country. According to his intuition, Gu Ci must be interested in Mo Rao.
Gu Ci might be able to help Mo Rao ward off Fu Ying.
“Oh right, I have an invitation here. There’s a banquet the day after tomorrow.” Mo Yuan took out an exquisite invitation from his bag.
Mo Rao glanced at it—Mr. K?
“This is?” Mo Rao was puzzled.
“Mr. K is a famous jewelry designer. He invited you to the banquet. Not many people know what Mr. K looks like!” Mo Yuan blinked at Mo Rao. “Aren’t you going? Perhaps he can give you a lot of fashion resources.”
Jewelry designer? It sounded quite interesting.
Mo Rao decided to go take a look at the situation, so she agreed. “Alright, I’ll go.”
Mo Rao wasn’t that interested in fashion, so she didn’t know much about Mr. K previously.
For this banquet, she had to catch up on things so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself.
