Chapter 914 Peach Blossom Demon Does Not Want to Sacrifice Herself for Others (11)
"Stable Mountain and River" was finally wrapped up after more than four months of filming. The director and his team generously held a wrap-up party. As one of the leading actors, Tao Shichu naturally had to attend. Moreover, she had been getting along well with Wang Yuling and Lin Qingfeng in the past few months, so it would have been unreasonable for her not to attend the wrap-up party.
However, she didn't expect Duan Jiuwei and Mu Tinghai to show up as well, and she suddenly felt a headache. Although she had been straightforward with Duan Jiuwei before and said that she didn't want to have anything to do with him, Duan Jiuwei was like a dog-skin plaster. He behaved more restrained and appeared less frequently in the crew, but he obviously didn't give up.
This time he came to the wrap-up party again by relying on his relationship with Mu Tinghai. Tao Shichu couldn't help but vent her anger on Mu Tinghai, thinking that it was all because of him, who was in cahoots with Duan Jiuwei, that she had been entangled for so long.
Mu Tinghai, who was drinking with the director, felt a chill on his back and had a bad premonition, but he looked around for a while and didn't find anything wrong, so he just thought it was his illusion.
Duan Jiuwei walked up to Tao Shichu with a glass of wine and said sadly, "Shichu, the filming of this drama has finished. It will be difficult for us to meet again in the future, right? You definitely don't want to see me..."
Tao Shichu gave a fake smile and said, "Mr. Duan, are you drunk? If you are drunk, eat more vegetables to avoid stomach discomfort."
She didn't want to talk about love with Duan Jiuwei anymore.
Duan Jiuwei smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you hate me so much that you can't even talk to me normally?"
Tao Shichu felt that the drama was over, so she didn't have to tolerate him just because he was Mu Tinghai's friend, so she nodded and said, "I really don't have a good impression of you. I hate people pestering me. By the way, when you first gave me that painting, I didn't know your paintings were very valuable. Now that I know, I can't take advantage of you so much. Just name a price and I'll transfer the money to you."
"No need. That painting is a gift from me to you. Since it's a gift, how can I take your money?" Duan Jiuwei shook his head, looked at her with a complicated expression, and said, "You are the most heartless woman I have ever met, and the first person who rejected me from the beginning to the end."
"Should I feel honored?" Tao Shichu asked with a wry smile.
"Can't you really give me a chance?" If Duan Jiuwei wanted to pursue Tao Shichu before because she was in line with his aesthetics and brought him creative inspiration, now he just wants to conquer this woman who disdains him. This is related to his self-esteem and competitive spirit. How can a young man who has always had smooth sailing in the love field be willing to admit failure when he encounters setbacks for the first time?
After talking to the director, Mu Tinghai finally noticed that the atmosphere between his childhood friend and Tao Shichu seemed to be not harmonious. He came over and joined in: "Why, you two are not together yet?"
Tao Shichu looked at him coldly when he heard this: "Mr. Mu, why do you think I would be with Mr. Duan? What gave you this illusion?"
Mu Tinghai saw Tao Shichu's unfriendly and murderous look, and for some reason he touched his nose guiltily, then laughed dryly and said uncomfortably: "I thought my brother had already caught up with you, haha, now it seems that he hasn't."
"I told you I have no interest in Mr. Duan, but he never listened. Don't I have the right to reject someone I don't like? Mr. Mu also wants to get involved in this matter?" Tao Shichu squinted at Mu Tinghai.
Mu Tinghai looked at Tao Shichu, and then at Duan Jiuwei, who was dejected and no longer as high-spirited and confident as before. In the end, he stood on his brother's side and said, "How can my brother's affairs be considered as private affairs? To be honest, Duan Jiuwei is good-looking, has a good family background, is talented, and has achieved success at a young age. Why do you dislike him?"
"Mr. Mu, you think so highly of Mr. Duan, why don't you take him in yourself? It's better to keep the wealth within the family. Besides, you two have been childhood sweethearts and are a good match. Oh my God, this is simply a match made in heaven! It would be a shame to God if you are not together!" Tao Shichu said this with a look of amazement on his face, as if he really wanted to bring the two good brothers together.
When Mu Tinghai and Duan Jiuwei heard her words, they were shocked as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyeballs almost fell to the ground in shock. Duan Jiuwei even quickly stepped back several steps, as if he was afraid that if he stood too close to Mu Tinghai, there would be some misunderstanding about their relationship.
"What nonsense are you talking about? He and I are just brothers. We only have brotherhood and friendship. It has nothing to do with love. You are talking nonsense!" Mu Tinghai didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. His face turned red and he shouted at Tao Shichu in frustration.
"Why are you reacting so strongly? I was right, you are feeling guilty." Tao Shichu's beautiful eyes kept looking back and forth between Mu Tinghai and Duan Jiuwei.
"Shut up!" Mu Tinghai glared at her angrily.
Tao Shichu shrugged and said, "Look, you don't even like to be associated with your good brother, so why do you insist on getting me associated with him? You feel uncomfortable just hearing it, but it doesn't hurt for me to hear it? Now that you have experienced it, you should know how much I hate your behavior of trying to match me up with Mr. Duan, right?"
"How are they the same?" Mu Tinghai blurted out.
"What's the difference? Gender? Tsk tsk, can you please stop being so pedantic? Mr. Duan has been abroad for so many years, he must be very open-minded, and gender is definitely not a problem for him." Tao Shichu raised his eyebrows and said this deliberately with a smile on his face.
Mu Tinghai opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out. The breath in his chest was choked by her and he felt extremely depressed.
Duan Jiuwei was no match for him. He had already jumped far away from Mu Tinghai, and kept saying, "I'm a straight man! A straight man who only likes women, not men. Shichu, don't hurt me!"
He looked at Tao Shichu in horror. The affectionate look in his eyes was gone, only astonishment and shock.
Tao Shichu was very satisfied with the situation caused by his words. Since they wanted to disgust him, how could he not resist? They could all be disgusted together.
"Tsk tsk, your brotherhood doesn't seem very solid." Tao Shichu was disgusted by this pair of bad friends and did not forget to try to sow discord between them.
After saying this, Tao Shichu leisurely returned to the table and stayed with Wang Yuling and the others.
"What did you say to them? They looked very surprised." Wang Yuling asked.
"Ah, nothing. I just said a few words that subverted their worldview so that they won't bother me tonight." Tao Shichu said calmly.
"Sister, you are still brave!" Wang Yuling praised her.
