501 Preferential Treatment
Mo Rao hit the nail on the head. Panic flashed across Liu Xin’s eyes as she stammered, “W-What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“Regardless of whether this is the reason or not, I want to tell you that Xiao Yan and I are just ordinary friends. You know that Xiao Yan is a very good person, so we had a good time working together in the past.” Mo Rao didn’t want any misunderstandings, so she still wanted to explain.
“I believe you will understand.”
Mo Rao had heard some of Liu Xin’s deeds before. Although her attitude towards Mo Rao was very bad, Mo Rao knew that she wasn’t an unreasonable person and had a good reputation in the industry.
Liu Xin was afraid that Mo Rao would misunderstand, so she said, “Don’t spout nonsense. Xiao Yan and I are just ordinary friends.” Then, she returned to her seat to touch up her makeup.
Mo Rao didn’t say anything else. She only hoped that Liu Xin would understand what she meant and stop being so hostile towards her.
At this moment, the door of the dressing room was pushed open and Qu Rou’s voice sounded. “I want to rest! Let the chef I found cook for me!”
“I don’t know how to cook. Do you want me to embarrass myself on the show?!”
…
Immediately after, there was the sound of a door closing. Liu Xin and Mo Rao looked over in unison. When Qu Rou saw the two of them, an awkward expression flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure and sat down.
The dressing room was dead silent. The three of them seemed to have different things on their minds.
Amidst the awkward atmosphere, there was a knock on the door.
“The food from the investor is here!” The staff walked in with today’s lunch.
Lunch today was a meal from a Chinese restaurant and looked quite delicious.
“Which investor is this? Why is he so generous? I heard that this restaurant is not cheap.” After Qu Rou opened the lunch box happily, she picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth.
“It’s Fu Ying, President Fu.” The staff happened to walk to Mo Rao’s side and handed her an exquisite lunch box. “Miss Mo, President Fu instructed me to give this to you.”
Mo Rao froze, then she opened the lunch box and saw exquisite dishes inside. Compared to others’ food boxes, hers was more like home-cooked food. Moreover, it was filled with delicacies, and the ingredients were of higher quality.
Seeing Mo Rao receive such treatment, Qu Rou was even more unhappy. The delicacies that she had praised a second ago seemed bland and tasteless now.
“Isn’t this preferential treatment?!” Qu Rou put down her chopsticks and said angrily, “Why does she get better food than us?”
Mo Rao’s assistant, Li Li, couldn’t stand it anymore. She frowned and said, “President Fu specifically prepared this for Rao Rao himself. How is it preferential treatment?”
“Heh, you said that he’s your ex-husband, but now, you’re eating the food he sent with relish!” Qu Rou mocked.
Mo Rao sneered. “He and I are friends. What’s wrong with a friend sending me a meal? Or is it that you’re so angry because you don’t have anyone to dote on you or send you abalone?”
“Mo Rao, don’t be too arrogant! Who doesn’t know that you relied on a man to get to where you are today?! You’re a piece of trash!” Qu Rou hated Mo Rao to the core. After all, if not for her, she wouldn’t have lost the Qu family as her backer.
“I relied on a man? I’ve already won the Best Actress Award when I was overseas. At that time, I relied on myself. Now that I’m back in the country, I haven’t relied on anyone either.” Mo Rao stood up and walked in front of Qu Rou. Then, she looked down at her as she said, “On the other hand, since you’re so confident that I relied on a man to get to where I am today, is it because you relied on a man to release a new album?”
“You!” Qu Rou was furious and raised her hand to slap Mo Rao.
However, Mo Rao grabbed her hand in time and stared into Qu Rou’s eyes. “Qu Rou, don’t think that I don’t dare to do anything to you. With your attitude and personality, you will be destroyed in the entertainment industry sooner or later.”
With that, Mo Rao shook off Qu Rou’s hand and returned to her seat.
Qu Rou trembled as she glared at Mo Rao, but she didn’t dare to provoke her.
Just now, she was indeed frightened by Mo Rao’s angry expression and intimidating aura.
