Chapter 10

Due to being delayed by this "banquet and drinking party," it was nearly midnight by the time they reached the city. The group dispersed at the gym, and Mo Xiangwan hid in the women's restroom to vomit for a while.

Mo Bei smiled: "I can understand."

Yu Zheng asked Mo Bei: "Long time no see, where have you been?"

Mo Bei inexplicably said with good intentions: "Miss Mo, you cannot walk like this."

She almost had to pray to Buddha

Later, it naturally turned into two groups of people becoming one group, enjoying collective merriment. As the host, I invited more than ten additional people to the restaurant to eat hairy crabs.

Upon hearing this, Director Cai could not help but laugh, and the people around them also laughed. Mo Xiangwan then turned to Luo Feng and said, "Young Master Luo, I hope you can forgive Xiangxiang's situation. She has attempted suicide three times and is currently under observation in the hospital. The doctor says she is suffering from mental exhaustion." She slightly lowered her head, as a gesture of apology.

Later, the atmosphere became lively again, as Yu Zheng diverted the topic, and a group of people took turns toasting. All of them were capable drinkers, and after several rounds, it seemed that the earlier incident involving "Qili" and Luo Feng could also be drowned in alcohol.

Mo Bei greeted everyone with a smile, saying, "Hello," displaying a familiar demeanor.

Mo Xiangwan was taken aback, but soon understood. Yu Zheng had positioned her seat directly opposite Luo Feng. The handsome male star was gazing intently in this direction, with a flicker of fire still lingering in his eyes

His attitude suggests that he wants to learn from Lei Feng tonight. Mo Xiangwan's immediate reaction was one of reluctance; she said, "Please call me a car."

The nightlife here is coming to an end, and the cars passing by are filled with weary urban dwellers

Having spoken, he shook the window, and the vehicle departed

This truly hurts one's self-esteem. Even Mo Xiangwan has realized her own loss of composure, brushing aside the disheveled strands of hair from her forehead, feeling somewhat uneasy. Her reaction is excessive.

Mo Xiangwan appeared as if she had seen a ghost, completely refusing to let him approach, and in fright, she exclaimed: "Don't act recklessly!"

Mo Xiangwan was hiding among her colleagues, following them at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. Directly in front of her was none other than Mo Bei. Just now, Yu Zheng had introduced them one by one.

Mo Xiangwan furrowed her brows and secretly glanced at the person beside her. He listened to such matters with an expression that was calm and indifferent, as if he were completely unconcerned. He always had this demeanor. He gradually became clearer in her memory.

Yu Zheng said to Mo Xiangwan: "Xiao Xin is going to star in Director Cai's new TV drama soon, and will be acting alongside Luo Feng. Xiao Xin is not here today, so as the representative of the artists, please raise a glass on their behalf!"

Mo Xiangwan was a bit anxious while drinking; when she sat down, she accidentally knocked the tablecloth off. The person next to her helped pick it up and handed it to her. Without even looking at Mo Beibei, she took it and said "thank you".

Mo Bei was backing out his car when he immediately spotted the lady in need of assistance. He first got out of the car and saw her supporting her leg, yet she insisted on walking by herself. He pretended to offer help and asked, "Do you need assistance?"

Mo Bei said: "I was just pulled back by my dad"

Mo Bei was stunned for a moment, and a word escaped his lips: "Damn!"

Yu Zheng laughed: "I originally intended to jump, but upon seeing Director Cai, I will jump next time."

Yu Zheng said: "It turns out that it was to serve the capitalists, yet they are still thinking of us"

Mo Xiangwan smiled reservedly and nodded her head as a form of greeting

Such efforts to maintain appearances must always be made; here, no one can afford to back down. Yu Zheng has his own status, and Judy Chen is not a "Qili" person; only her identity is the most suitable. She noticed Yu Zheng gently nodding his head, and there was a glimmer of amusement in Judy Chen's eyes

This season is indeed the right time, and Yu Zheng will be selecting crabs again, prompting Director Cai to exclaim: "In short, to enjoy good food and have a good time, following you, Old Yu, is always the right choice"

Director Cai made a bitter face: "A few days ago, while filming the water fight scene, two extras died"

She has given birth to a child, and having approached the age of thirty, her bodily functions, no matter how excellent, will inevitably issue a warning to her

Mo Xiangwan said: "Go to Zhabei"

Mo Bei did not focus his attention on her, which reassured Mo Xiangwan. Mace and Cao Cao were merely a thing of the past; it was best to erase that segment from everyone's memory, to avoid any entanglements, and to live a peaceful life from then on

Yu Zheng merely smiled and said, "Enjoy your hairy crabs, why all this nonsense?"

She heard someone calling her: "Miss Mo?"

Mo Xiangwan felt deeply out of sorts; it was instinctive and unconscious. At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and her mind cleared for a brief moment. She murmured, "I have had too much to drink"

She looked up, and there he was, the person she did not wish to see. How could he be here? Mo Xiangwan temporarily held back her tears, but she was reluctant to speak to him, merely gazing at him.

Mo Bei turned his face to one side, the reflection in the lens obscuring any clues in his gaze. He said, "I am just here for a consultation. Is there anything you need, Miss Mo?"

Yu Zheng could only respond to his words with a deep laugh, as it was not appropriate for the boss to speak up. Mo Xiangwan had no choice but to speak up herself: "Director Cai, we cannot be compared to our predecessors. We rely on the hard work of those in front of us to earn our salaries, so we must provide attentive service. This is an unavoidable situation; we can only ask them to work hard and strive for improvement every day, ensuring that the director's productions are well-made and the audience enjoys the television dramas. As for our salaries, they will be secured."

Mo Xiangwan had consumed quite a bit, but fortunately her mind remained clear. She subtly changed seats with Judy Chen, thinking that it was unlikely for Mo Bei to notice.

Mo Bei was initially taken aback, her expression resembling that of someone who had encountered a lewd man. The reflection of herself in the car window showed her well-dressed and poised, completely unrelated to any unsavory characters.

He is currently enjoying great success in the bonded area

Judy Chen and Mo Bei are old acquaintances, and coincidentally, they are standing next to Mo Xiangwan. They made a small joke, saying: "Lawyer Mo, you were a family five hundred years ago."

Mo Xiangwan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh in her heart. Although she was accustomed to it, she still felt a pang of sympathy. She couldn't help but quietly ask Mo Be North, "Mr. Mo, do you also take on civil cases?"

Mo Xiangwan lowered her head and said: "No, I hope not"

The driver heard this and said: "Brother, are you joking? What do you call the BMW parked next to you, a taxi? Don't take your frustration from arguing with your girlfriend out on us, alright? We are just trying to make a living at night, which is not easy, you know?"

Director Cai raised his glass and drank, smiling: "Look at your manager from the Arts Department, who is indeed well-known for his dedication to the artists."

This sentence is an order. Mo Xiangwan received the order and immediately raised his wine glass, first addressing Director Cai: "As a newcomer in a new play, I hope the seniors will take good care of me"

Mo Xiangwan said to herself in the mirror: "I must go to the beauty salon and get a membership card"

Having had enough of the madness, I will go home and sleep it off to regain my composure. Mo Bei is able to forgive this lady for her indiscretion

After speaking, she stumbled out, and unexpectedly twisted her ankle, causing significant pain. She leaned against the wall, unable to suppress her breath, and tears were nearly spilling. The Mo family, both mother and son, are the same, typically lacking calcium, making them prone to sprains.

Judy Chen is a perceptive person, and she pulled Mo Xiangwan over to sit down. As soon as they sat down, things took a turn for the worse. Mo Bei pulled out a chair for her and made a gesture of "please sit." Mo Xiangwan leaned to one side and nearly fell over, but fortunately, Judy Chen caught her.

After a long wait, a car finally stopped. The driver rolled down the window to take a look at Mo Bei. Mo Bei turned back to ask Mo Xiang Wan: "Where are you going?"

That is best

Her alcohol tolerance is actually superficial; what she has cultivated is merely a facade. Every time she drinks excessively, if she does not vomit, she is unable to walk properly. After vomiting, she looks up at herself in the mirror, her complexion as pale as a ghost. Upon closer inspection, one can see faint lines at the inner corners of her eyes.

Director Cai said: "Old Si, your subordinates are quite formidable; they first got us drunk with a round of drinks."

When it was time to take their seats, Yu Zheng spoke and said to Mo Xiangwan and Judy Chen: "Merry, Judy, come, sit over here"

It turns out they all have the surname Mo, what an interesting coincidence

Judy leaned over and whispered to her: "No wonder the play is not being rushed, you're hiding here to eat hairy crabs!"

Upon hearing that Lin Xiang was still hospitalized, Luo Feng felt a twinge of compassion in his eyes, which did not go unnoticed by Mo Xiangwan, who was also slightly moved. Consequently, after Luo Feng downed his drink, Mo Xiangwan followed suit and finished hers as well

This is too embarrassing, Mo Bei felt that his good intentions were met with indifference tonight, and his gentlemanly demeanor did not receive the response it deserved. Everything was too strange. However, he could not bring himself to refuse a lady, so he smiled amiably and truly went to the main road to hail a taxi for her

Mo Bei perhaps noticed her observation and gave her a slight smile, to which she responded with a smile in return

Mo Bei pointed to the dragon head displayed in the distance at their company and asked Yu Zheng: "Do you want to leap over the dragon gate?"
