Chapter 1037 - Do You Know Who I Am? (10)
Dad Mo shook his head and said, “You have no idea. Your Mom, at that time, was a close friend of Si Jingyu, who is also Madam Shi. At that time they made a pact—they aspired to be each other’s in-law in the future. Recently, the Shi gamily has grown from strength to strength, even our family hasn’t been able to keep up. If it weren’t for their relationship, we wouldn’t even be in the line for this sort of arrangement.”
Mo Zhi immediately frowned and said, “I won’t have this! The pampered daughter of the Shi family may look like a pig. I want that pretty chick from the filming crew!”
Dad Mo frowned and said, “You can’t bring that sort of girl into the family. Besides, you’d better behave. Of all things, your Mom hates fooling around. I made a mistake back then… sigh. That was so many years ago and she has not forgiven me! So you’d better get rid of your vices and focus on managing the business.”
Mo Zhi pouted at once and wailed, “Dad!!”

Far away in Hengdian, meanwhile, Shi Nianyao sneezed.
Mo Xicheng was observing her while filming. At the end, he walked towards her and held out a glass of water.
She grinned at him and said, “Mo Xicheng, you can stop worrying now. I’ve taken care of Li Xue’s matter!”
Raising an eyebrow, Mo Xicheng asked, “Oh? And how did you manage that?”
Rolling her eyes, Shi Nianyao said, “She came looking for me with a check, hoping to bribe me with money. But I appealed to her emotions and reason. She was moved and bowed out!”
Mo Xicheng was speechless.
He smiled bitterly and did not pursue the matter, but he looked at the girl with a deeply contemplative expression.
In the meantime, a rumor had started to circulate among the social elite circle in Beijing city.
That the Mo family and Shi family had a verbal marriage agreement. However one time, when Mo Zhi was drunk, he claimed that the pampered little mistress of the Shi family looked like a pig and vowed to never marry her.
So when the news broke, the pampered daughter of the Shi family became a laughing stock at once.
Yet all of this escaped the notice of the few people who were filming in Hengdian.

In a different place.
A black premium sedan came to a stop at a five-star hotel.
Lu Nanze’s eyes were deep and gloomy as he stepped out from the car.
He stood at the hotel entrance and looked across the street for a moment.
There stood the hotel where Qiao Lian and the rest of them were staying.
After a moment, he made his way up.
About an hour later, there was a knocking on the hotel room door. Lu Nanze lifted his head and heard Qiao Yiyi’s voice, “Second Brother, it’s me.”
The man got onto his feet, walked over and opened the door.
Upon seeing him, Qiao Yiyi immediately extended her arms to reach for his.
An expression of disdain flashed across his face as he took a step back to avoid the contact.
He looked at her and berated, “You can’t even handle a small matter like this, and you dare to appear before me?”
Qiao Yiyi pouted in response. “Second Brother, you talk about Qiao Lian the second we meet. You—”
Before she could finish, Lu Nanze’s face had already broken into a sinister smile. She immediately stopped and said instead, “Second Brother, don’t you fret. This time Shen Liangchuan ruined my plans, but next time they won’t be this lucky. I’ve made arrangements! Nothing will go wrong now.”
Lu Nanze looked at her while hearing these words. “You are very sure that it will not harm Qiao Lian?”
The woman nodded and reassured him, “I’m very sure!”
Lu Nanze stared at her, his expression so vicious that she couldn’t help but shudder.
Lu Nanze smirked, on the other hand, as he said, “Eight years ago, you assured me the same thing, that she would leave the teamclub without being harmed. But what did you do in the end?”
