Ning Rumeng understood now, but it was too late.
"Senior Chu... No!! Patriarch Chu, please spare me! I beg you!" Ning Rumeng knelt on the ground frantically, kowtowing as if this would soften Chu Mo's heart.
Ji Nanshu: "Miss Ning, it's fine if you just like it, but you're too greedy. Originally, if you had sincerely repented and focused on acting, becoming famous would have been just a matter of time, but unfortunately..."
"Your intelligence was misplaced, and you'll have to pay the price for your mistakes. I've given your fans all the evidence they wanted. I hope you'll behave yourself. A-Mo, let's go."
" Yuanjia, Jin Shi, Brother Yan, Sister Qin, Qin Yi... um... and you two too, let's go, A-Mo is treating you to dinner!"
Jian Yuanjia quickly followed. " Nanshu! What is Brother Chu treating us to?"
Jin Shi followed closely behind.
The other guests exchanged glances, and seeing Ning Rumeng's eye makeup ruined by crying, they also left the ward.
Ning Rumeng and Huang Tong were left in the hospital room, embracing and weeping, but no one paid any attention.
What's the use of regret? There's always a price to pay for making mistakes.
After leaving the ward, Lin Qin ignored her husband's attempts to stop her and asked Ji Nanshu, " Nanshu, I really can't help it, did Ning Rumeng really have three abortions?"
How could this girl not cherish herself? She's such a pretty girl, and she's seen all the TV dramas she's acted in. For her age, she's quite good-looking.
Ji Nanshu was very certain. "Yes, she not only had three abortions, the first one was in high school, and the latter two were probably for her sugar daddy."
Lin Qin sighed, "What a pity, such a good girl."
"That's not a good girl. In high school, whenever someone went against her, she would have her boyfriend from outside school teach them a lesson. She even spread dirty rumors about a girl in her class, causing her to become depressed and commit suicide. She's not innocent."
Qin Yi, the only one among the remaining guests who knew the truth: It's really scary, really. He always thought girls were sweet and soft, like little angels, but he never expected them to be so terrifying!
Lian Shao: "I figured out that woman wasn't a good person the day before yesterday! Only you guys think she's kind."
Jian Yuanjia asked, puzzled, "How did you figure that out? I thought she was very gentle when I first met her."
"Oh, so my old man's mistress is such a two-faced person!" Lian Shao said, revealing his own father's shameful secret without any concern.
Bai Nanyu quickly stopped him. "Ah Shao! Stop talking!"
Lian Shao waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. There are no secrets in this circle. What's the big deal if we've already done it?"
Ji Nanshu suddenly found Lian Shaoshu much more agreeable. This kid really has something to offer!
Wu Yan changed the subject. " Nanshu, what are you taking us to eat?"
"A seafood feast?" Ji Nanshu stroked his chin and glanced back at Chu Mo, who was holding his hand. "The program should continue its live broadcast this afternoon. Let's go grab a bite before Director Yang finds out."
Jian Yuanjia looked at Chu Mo: "Does Ning Rumeng still want to record? She's caused this scandal, she'll definitely be fired!"
Chu Mo: "Yes, the contract will be terminated, and Director Yang will find someone else to record it."
"I wonder who it will be. Hopefully, someone who'll be well-behaved will come."
However, Ji Nanshu was stunned when she saw the female guest appear on the show that afternoon.
It was Chen Rui!!
It's like one rival left, and another one came along.
Chu Mo replied, "Well, I guess I just wish Chen Rui good luck."
Chen Rui stood in the villa's living room wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress and matching Mary Jane heels, with a bodyguard behind her carrying her luggage.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Chu Mo: "Brother Chu Mo!"
She tried to take Chu Mo's arm, but Chu Mo dodged her.
Jian Yuanjia asked in confusion, " Brother Chu, is this your sister?"
"I don't know him."
Chu Mo spoke calmly.
Chen Rui, with her thick skin, stomped her foot and said, "Brother Chu Mo, I already know I was wrong! Please pay attention to me!"
Chu Mo froze, uttering four words: "Don't shout, it's disgusting."
Ji Nanshu chuckled, " A-Mo, some people think they're really cute. Chen Rui, I haven't even settled the score with you from last time, yet you've already sniffed out the smell and come here. It seems you don't listen to a word your older brother says."
Chen Rui pouted, feeling wronged. " Nanshu, I know you don't like me, but Brother Chu Mo and I are childhood sweethearts! And... I was originally going to get engaged to Brother Chu Mo!"
[Oh no... what did I just hear?! Chen Rui is Chu Mo's fiancée?!]
[Holy crap, Ji Nanshu's affair is confirmed!]
[How is this solid evidence? Look, Chu Gouzi admitted it. This is just Chen's side of the story, okay?]
Chu Mo was completely bewildered. "Engaged? Is that true?"
Chen Rui said smugly, "See? I told you so!"
Then the guests heard Chu Mo add, "Your parents came to our house insisting on marrying you into our family, but I refused. I don't like people like you... well, those who throw themselves at us and have malicious hearts."
Chen Rui stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her eyes quickly reddening. "Brother Chu Mo, why are you saying this to me? Is it wrong for me to like you?"
Ji Nanshu had only one comment on this. "Your acting skills have improved!"
The guests expressed their unwillingness to get involved, as most of the people who could marry into Chu Mo's family were people they couldn't afford to offend.
Ji Nanshu: "Of course that's right. But after A-Mo rejected you and got together with me, you still say these things, hmm... that's good, really good."

Off-camera assistant director. " Director Yang, do you have some kind of 'enemy of Ji Nanshu' debuff? Or 'admirer of Chu Mo' debuff? Otherwise, how come you always manage to get these kinds of people?"
Director Yang looked up at the sky. "This Miss Chen wants to be on my show, how can I refuse? How can I possibly survive in the entertainment industry?!"
He didn't want to either! But she's the eldest daughter of the Chen family in the Imperial Capital!
The assistant director patted Director Yang on the shoulder. "Sigh, you've worked hard..."
[Hearing this, I think Chen Rui might be seriously ill, spouting nonsense and misleading us!]
[Don't be fooled by Chen Rui. Back on set, she threatened Ji Nanshu to leave Film Emperor Chu. When that failed, she falsely accused him of trying to rape her. Luckily, Ji Nanshu was smart enough to record it, otherwise he would have had no way to defend himself!]
[The eldest daughter of the Chen family, that's normal. Everyone in our circle knows she's madly in love with Film Emperor Chu! What wouldn't she do?]
[Tsk, sounds like there's some juicy gossip going on. Tell me more!]
[Could anything be more explosive than Ning Rumeng's scandal? Tsk tsk tsk, have you seen the videos of Ning Rumeng and her sugar daddy? Putting everything else aside, she has a really great figure! Tsk tsk tsk, her technique... even better than the porn I've seen!]
[Upstairs, where are your morals? Where are your bottom lines? Where is your address?]
