"She probably wants to play a cat-and-mouse game. Don't worry, she can't escape."
...
In a dilapidated house in the slum, the sound of a door creaking open startled a rat that was resting on the floor, causing it to scurry away in a panic.
Xing Feifei was also frightened by the little creature. She screamed and took several steps back, "Ah! A rat! Help! Take me away from here quickly, I don't want to stay with a rat!"
"Miss Xing, don't be afraid. It's just a rat. You'll be living here for a while now." The sharp, grating voice made Sharp frown, his eyes filled with contempt and mockery towards Xing Feifei.
It's already a blessing that Buddha took in a woman like that.
Sharp's words were like a bombshell to Xing Feifei: "You... what did you say? You just put me in this godforsaken place? No, I don't want to stay here! I'm calling Buddha right now! Give me your phone!"
As Xing Feifei spoke, she tried to snatch the phone, but Sharp dodged to the side, causing her to miss and the phone to fall to the ground.
“Miss Xing, all of this is Buddha’s will. Since Miss Xing has shown trust in Buddha, she should abide by all his arrangements. There is a week’s worth of food in that cabinet. Our people will come once a week. Buddha also said that the conditions here are simple, but only temporarily. Only by enduring hardship and biding one’s time can one gain a chance of survival.”
"Oh, by the way, I also want to give Miss Xing a piece of advice: you must be obedient. I guarantee your safety here. If you leave, your life or death is up to fate."
It is said that life and death are predestined, but how could Xing Feifei not know that her life and death have been entrusted to the Buddha?
"Okay, I understand. Please thank Master on my behalf."
And so began Xing Feifei's days of living with mice.
Buddha was still quite good to her after all, and specially installed a TV in her room. Although it could only find one entertainment channel, it was enough for her to know what Mo Jingjing was up to.
There are still a few more promotional events for the movie. The publicity department didn't focus on Xing Feifei during the promotion, so her absence is not a big deal.
In the next few promotional events, Su Mu and Mo Jingjing would meet, but they would only exchange a few simple glances.
Despite Mo Jingjing's resurgence in popularity, there are still some doubts and attacks online. Some people say she's just a pretty face, while others question her acting skills and professional abilities.
There was even a reporter who publicly challenged Mo Jingjing to give an impromptu performance at a movie promotion event.
Faced with a barrage of difficulties, Mo Jingjing handled them all with ease, using her strength and superb professional skills to deliver a resounding rebuke.
Inside a villa in a wealthy residential area, a man with a large Buddha head around his neck sat on a leather sofa.
The man's shrewd eyes were fixed on the LCD screen in front of him, a cigar dangling from his mouth as he puffed out smoke.
"She is Mo Jingjing."
When the Buddha spoke, his tone was sharp and piercing.
"Yes, Master, this woman ruined our club."
Sharp nodded respectfully, his expression filled with hostility towards Mo Jingjing.
The club was a money-sucking toad, a cash cow in their hands, but it closed down overnight and became embroiled in a murder case. The expensive shop is still unrented, and they are losing money every day.
Sharp is a trusted confidant of Buddha and is very capable. As soon as this incident occurred, Buddha entrusted him with the investigation. However, he spent a lot of manpower, resources and money searching for every clue before finally finding the source: Mo Jingjing.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents, so Sharp had a very bad impression of Mo Jingjing.
"No, it's not just our club, but also Xing Feifei and her parents. This woman is not simple. As the ancients said, 'Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with.' Sharp, don't be too hasty, take it slow. I have a contract here. Find a way to get it to this woman and get her to sign it!"
Buddha took another puff of his cigar and tossed the folder on the coffee table in front of Sharp.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sharp took the folder, responded, and turned to leave.
Buddha was still staring at the woman on the screen, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
Mo Jingjing...
I, Buddha, never do business at a loss.
Mo Jingjing has become incredibly popular lately, and Buddha isn't the only one watching her on screen. Mo Yanyan, seeing Mo Jingjing shining brightly under the spotlight, felt a surge of jealousy that drove her crazy. With nowhere to vent her anger, she locked herself in her bedroom and kept smashing things.
Hearing the clattering sounds coming from inside, Mo's mother became very anxious. She pounded on the door and kept coaxing, "Yan Yan, please open the door. It's your mother, Yan Yan. Let's talk about it outside. I'm really worried about you locking yourself in your room."
"Yan Yan, my baby, please say something to Mommy, okay? Mommy promises you, as long as you're willing to come out of your room, I'll agree to anything you ask."
Suddenly, the sounds of things being smashed and broken stopped, and the locked door was opened from the inside.
"Oh my good daughter, you're finally out! Let Mom see if you're hurt anywhere," Mo's mother said, relieved to see her daughter. She took Mo Yan's hand and looked her up and down, but found no injuries.
"Mom, I'm fine. I just want to ask you one question: Is what you just said true?" Mo Yanyan looked at her mother and asked for confirmation.
"Yan Yan, tell Mom what you want to do first." Mo's mother noticed her daughter's unusual behavior, and her heart, which had just been at ease, was raised again.
Ever since Mo Yan Yan was publicly humiliated at Mo Zhu's birthday banquet, she has been mentally unstable, with cloudy eyes and a drastic change in temperament. She either smashes things or locks herself in her room to cry, and sometimes she even says things that express her hatred for Mo Zhu and his wife.
But at this moment, her eyes were clear, as if she had made up her mind, her face was resolute, and she was particularly calm.
"Mom, I want to enter the entertainment industry and become a star. I want to be more famous than that bitch Mo Jingjing. I want to crush her in public and personally trample her under my feet!"
How dare a child without a mother trample on her? If she doesn't destroy Mo Jingjing's pride as the eldest daughter of the Mo family, she will never be able to escape the shadow in her heart for the rest of her life.
"Yan Yan, what... what did you say? You want to be a star, but that's not your major at all. Besides..."
"So everything you just said was a lie, right? Let me tell you, I'm going to enter the entertainment industry. You'd better find me an acting teacher right now. I want to learn, I want to debut, or I'll leave this house and you'll never see me again!"
Before her mother could finish speaking, Mo Yanyan interrupted her frantically, expressing her determination with a firm attitude.
