Chapter 899: Secretly Photographed
At this time, the paparazzi hiding in the dark were holding up their cameras and filming everything...
The next day, the headlines on all major entertainment websites were "Jiang Mubai secretly meets with a mysterious man late at night, and his suspected new relationship is exposed", with a picture of Lu Jingxing standing at Jiang Mubai's door.
Jiang Mubai was so angry when she saw the news that she almost vomited blood. She had done nothing, but the media wrote her like this. She knew that this was Qin Feng's revenge.
She was about to call Qin Feng to argue, but her cell phone rang first. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Jiang Mubai answered the phone.
"Ms. Jiang, I'm Director Zhang's assistant. Director Zhang wants you to come to his studio tomorrow. He wants to talk to you about the movie."
Jiang Mubai was delighted. Could it be that the filming of the movie was going to start earlier?
"Okay, I know."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai suddenly thought of a question: How did Director Zhang know her phone number?
Could it be... Lu Jingxing?
Jiang Mubai bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled. Qin Feng's revenge came so quickly and so meanly. She held the phone, her knuckles turning white, and she almost crushed it. She wanted to call Qin Feng, question him, and scold him, but she knew that doing so would only make the situation worse.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mubai tried to calm herself down. What she needed now was to solve the problem, not to act on impulse. Director Zhang's call might be an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of Qin Feng's control.
The next day, Jiang Mubai arrived at Director Zhang's studio on time. Director Zhang was a short, fat, middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face, which made people feel very friendly.
"Ms. Jiang, you're here." Director Zhang stood up to greet her with a smile, "Please take a seat."
"Hello, Director Zhang." Jiang Mubai greeted politely.
"I've seen your previous works. You're very talented and your acting is great." Director Zhang got straight to the point. "You're the right person to be the heroine of my film."
Jiang Mubai was delighted, but still remained cautious: "Director Zhang, you are too kind. It is my honor to be able to star in your movie."
"You're welcome." Director Zhang waved his hand, "But..." He paused, his eyes becoming somewhat meaningful, "You know, this circle is very complicated, and some things can't be solved by strength alone."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank. Sure enough, things were not that simple.
"Director Zhang, what you mean is..."
"My meaning is very simple," Director Zhang rubbed his hands, his eyes wandering over her body, "I hope you can understand that there are some 'unspoken rules' that must be followed."
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale instantly. She knew that there was no free lunch in the world.
"Director Zhang, I think you misunderstood..."
"I didn't misunderstand." Director Zhang interrupted her, his tone becoming tougher, "If you want this role, you have to pay the price."
Jiang Mubai clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She felt sick and angry.
"I won't agree to your request." Jiang Mubai stood up and said in a cold tone, "I don't want this role anymore."
She turned and left without any hesitation.
"Do you think you can get away?" Director Zhang sneered, his voice full of threats, "In this circle, if you offend me, you can forget about it."
Jiang Mubai paused, but she didn't look back and continued walking towards the door.
"Stop right there!" Director Zhang roared.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Lu Jingxing stood at the door with a gloomy face and cold eyes.
"Director Zhang, what are you doing?" Lu Jingxing asked in a cold tone with a hint of warning.
Director Zhang's face changed slightly when he saw Lu Jingxing. He didn't expect Lu Jingxing to appear suddenly.
"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick up my girlfriend." Lu Jingxing walked to Jiang Mubai, put his arm around her shoulders and declared his sovereignty.
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect Lu Jingxing to appear at this time and say that she was his girlfriend.
Director Zhang's face became even uglier. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to be related to Lu Jingxing. The Lu family has a great influence in the entertainment industry, and he dare not offend them easily.
"So you're Mr. Lu's girlfriend. I'm so sorry." Director Zhang apologized with a smile, "I was just joking. Don't mind it, Miss Jiang."
Lu Jingxing gave him a cold look, then hugged Jiang Mubai and left the studio.
Walking out of the door, Jiang Mubai broke free from Lu Jingxing's embrace and said in a cold tone: "Lu Jingxing, what do you mean?"
Lu Jingxing looked at her with complicated eyes: "I just don't want you to be wronged."
"I don't need your fake kindness!" Jiang Mubai said angrily, "We have broken up, please don't disturb my life again!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Lu Jingxing looked at her leaving back, his heart filled with bitterness. He knew that he had completely lost her.
However, what he didn't know was that all of this was captured by the paparazzi hiding in the dark...
The next day, the headlines on major entertainment websites became "Lu Jingxing heroically saves the beauty and escorts his new girlfriend Jiang Mubai away from the scene of the unspoken rules", with the accompanying picture being a photo of Lu Jingxing hugging Jiang Mubai as they leave the studio.
Jiang Mubai was so angry when she saw the news that she almost vomited blood. She had done nothing, but the media wrote her like this. She knew that this news would have a greater impact on her career.
What she didn't expect was that Lu Jingxing actually publicly admitted that she was his girlfriend...
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart. Lu Jingxing's sudden "heroic rescue" and his self-willed public relationship completely pushed her to the forefront. Her phone was buzzing, and she knew without even looking that it was another series of calls from her agent Linda.
She scratched her hair irritably, walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.
"Where are you going?" The driver looked at her in the rearview mirror.
"Just drive it." Jiang Mubai leaned weakly on the chair and closed his eyes.
The driver turned on the radio, which was playing entertainment news. The sweet voice of the announcer was like needles piercing Jiang Mubai's heart: "... Lu Jingxing, the president of Lu Group, publicly admitted today that he is dating the new rising star Jiang Mubai. It seems that good things are about to happen..."
Jiang Mubai suddenly opened his eyes and turned off the radio. "Master, can you change the channel?"
The driver shrugged and changed the music channel. The soothing piano music did not make Jiang Mubai feel better, but made her even more irritated.
Lu Jingxing, what on earth does he want to do? !
The car drove aimlessly and finally stopped at the door of a bar. Jiang Mubai paid the fare, walked into the bar, and sat down at the bar.
"A whiskey on the rocks."
A glass of amber liquid was pushed in front of her, and Jiang Mubai picked up the glass and drank it all. The spicy liquid slid down her throat, as if it was burning her internal organs.
