After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy - Chapter 79

Chapter 79- Bet

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, three pairs of eyes fell on him. He was frightened by their looks for a moment. He subconsciously flinched and the tray on his left hand shook a few times.

“Which lady gave you the note?” Qin Lu said lightly, but he was a little unhappy.

The waiter was just a temporary worker. He knew that the status of the people at the venue was either noble or rich, but he couldn’t recognize each one clearly. He turned around and wanted to point them out, but he didn’t find the figure of the woman.

“I, I don’t know who she is. I just remember that she is a very beautiful lady.” Seeing that he was a little scared, Jiang Liucheng didn’t make things difficult for him. “Give me the note.” That is what he said.

Passing the note in his hand, he gave Jiang Liucheng a grateful glance and left.

Jiang Liucheng took the note and handed his cup to Qin Lu. Qin Lu gave Zhou Beiwang his own glass and while taking Liucheng his cup. Qin Lu then asked. “May I help you?”

Upon seeing his expression, Jiang Liucheng calmed down without a smile in his eyes. He gave him the note after thinking about it.

Qin Lu opened the note.

“What was written?” Zhou Beiwang asked curiously. He thought that the most popular person at this banquet should be Qin Lu. He would not be surprised if this note was given to Qin Lu. Who knew it was for Jiang Liucheng? 

Qin Lu frowned, “The other party asked you to go to the small garden and said that he wanted to discuss cooperation with you, which was related to Mrs. Mo.”

Zhou Beiwang: “Mrs. Mo? Is it Mrs. Mo from the Mo Group? What do you have with her? It’s easy to talk about- oh no, I remember that Mrs. Mo seems to be in charge of Mo’s Entertainment. Could it be that she wants to talk about endorsement with you or invite you to play a role in a film and television drama produced by them?”

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “It is impossible for Madam Mo to talk to me about cooperating as an endorsement.”

Zhou Beiwang: “Why?”

Jiang Liucheng: “She was the one who gave birth to me on paper. After joining the wealthy family, she was afraid that I would become a stain on her, and it would be too late to suppress me. How could she spend resources to help me?”

Zhou Beiwang looked at him wide-eyed. The amount of information was a bit big for him to comprehend it immediately.

Seeing him say these words in a calm tone, Qin Lu knew that he didn’t care about them a long time ago, but he still felt a little distressed.

Zhou Beiwang was a little dazed. He didn’t understand why a big pot of dog blood suddenly poured out after a good chat, “Did I hear it wrong? What happened?”

Qin Lu said unhappily: “Since you think you heard it wrong, don’t ask.”

Jiang Liucheng smiled: “It’s okay. I really don’t care anymore. I have friends, you, and Mama Long.”

Zhou Beiwang probably sorted it out a little bit. This Mrs. Mo is here. After giving birth to Jiang Liucheng, she abandoned him, and then married into a wealthy family, becoming Mrs. Mo.

The person who sent the note to the waiter probably knew about their relationship, so he wanted to use this to ask Jiang Liucheng to talk about Mrs. Mo.

“Then do you want to go to the garden?”

“It’s boring to be idle anyway.” Jiang Liucheng looked at Qin Lu. “I have an idea. Should we come and guess who wrote this note?”

Zhou Beiwang immediately became interested, “It seems very interesting, I can.”

Qin Lu saw that both of them were interested, so he didn’t refuse, “Yes, the loser will donate 1 million in the name of Liucheng.”

Zhou Beiwang compared An OK gesture. A million is nothing to him, “Then let me take a guess first. It should be Mrs. Mo herself. She saw you appearing at the banquet, but she couldn’t appear with you in person, so she wanted to use someone else’s mouth. She asked you to have a talk or even maybe want to seal your mouth and tell you not to reveal your relationship with her?”

Jiang Liucheng looked at Qin Lu, “Who do you think is it?”

Qin Lu turned the wine glass in his hand, ” It should be someone who has a conflict of interest with Mrs. Mo.”

Jiang Liucheng smiled, “I think so too.”

After a while, the three came to the garden.

The garden is not big, except for the area close to the building. The viewing angle is limited and the people present cannot be seen.

However, they didn’t see the woman the waiter said.

“Could it be that he was deceived and someone deliberately played a prank?” Zhou Beiwang guessed.

“Maybe she’s over there.” Jiang Liucheng looked at the area in the blind spot. There happened to be two trees planted there. The trunks were huge, and they looked old. The lush leaves clung to the walls of the building, forming a hidden area. 

Qin Lu said, “Let’s go and have a look.” The three of them walked over, and when they walked halfway through, their vision gradually widened as a bewitching red burst into their sight.

It was a woman in a red waist dress with her back to them.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, the woman turned around and asked at the same time, “Is that Mr. Jiang Liucheng?”

After turning around, the woman saw the three of them, and she immediately froze where she recognized Qin Lu and Zhou Beiwang.

“It’s actually you.” Zhou Beiwang also recognized the woman.

“Who?” Only Jiang Liucheng didn’t know who the woman was.

Qin Lu explained: “She is the daughter of Mo Juncheng’s ex-wife, Mo Siqing, the eldest daughter of the Mo Group.”

Jiang Liucheng: “Do you know her?”

Qin Lu: “I don’t personally know her. I just happened to know her name.”

He had read her information when he was investigating Mrs. Mo’s affairs. He asked someone to know the situation of the Mo family, and only then did he know about Mo Siqing.

Mo Siqing originally thought that when Mrs. Mo was mentioned, Jiang Liucheng would not want other people to know and would come to the appointment by himself, but who knew that he would bring Qin Lu and Zhou Beiwang along? For some reason, she felt a little speechless in her heart.

When she was speechless, Zhou Beiwang asked, “Miss Mo, did your stepmother call you to come over to our Liucheng?”

Mo Siqing collected herself. “Of course not. My relationship with my stepmother is not that great.”

This was for Jiang Liucheng.

Zhou Beiwang was extremely disappointed and shrugged at Qin Lu. “You guys won, then I’ll go over and donate money first.”

Mo Siqing realized that they were betting on her, and her heart sank slightly.

Seeing that Qin Lu had no intention of leaving and the fact that the three of them came together, she guessed that Jiang Liucheng didn’t seem to intend to hide his relationship with Mrs. Mo.

While thinking of this, Mo Siqing decided to go straight to the point because she couldn’t guarantee that she would have a chance to see Jiang Liucheng again next time.

“Mr. Jiang, can you take a step to talk?”

Jiang Liucheng: “No, just say what you have to say.”

Mo Siqing didn’t struggle anymore and said straightforwardly: “I know you and my stepmother don’t have a good relationship. When you first entered the entertainment industry, she deliberately let Zhou Sheng Entertainment hide you. What I am trying to say is that we have a common enemy. Maybe we can cooperate with each other with that being stated.”

When Jiang Liucheng heard that it was a young woman, he guessed that it might be from the Mo family too. Naturally, you can guess what the other party is going to say.

“I never regarded her as an enemy.”

Mo Siqing was stunned for a moment. “She abandoned you since you were a child. Afterward, not only did she not recognize you as her own, she also tried to suppress you. You do not really hate her?”

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “No.”

Mo Siqing just thought it was incredible. If he didn’t hate her under normal circumstances, he might still yearn for maternal love, but she stared at the young man’s plain expression, and the scene she saw in the banquet hall flashed before her eyes.

When Mo Yi and her stepmother approached Jiang Liucheng, she noticed that as a competitor. She had been paying attention to the situation of her stepmother and Mo Yi and thus discovered Jiang Liucheng’s existence.

Recalling Jiang Liucheng’s expression when facing loneliness at that time, that calm look could never be faked, so she mistakenly thought that Jiang Liucheng hated her stepmother.

A flash of inspiration flashed through Mo Siqing’s mind, and she seemed to understand a little bit.

“You don’t hate her because you’ve let go of her, right?”

Jiang Liucheng didn’t respond, but Mo Siqing knew she had guessed right so she continued: “Let’s just pretend that you don’t care anymore and the cooperation I said doesn’t matter. But I need you to do something for me still. On the contrary, as long as you don’t do anything, I can prevent my stepmother from going to you again.”

Jiang Liucheng said: “The things between the two of you have nothing to do with me, and nothing I do will affect it.”

Mo Siqing didn’t think so in her heart. She didn’t take Jiang Liucheng seriously at first, but she just planned to bring this matter to her grandfather one day.

If it goes well…

But she didn’t expect to see Jiang Liucheng at this banquet. Not to mention the fact that Ms. Long said in public that Jiang Liucheng was his godson.

There is a huge difference between an entertainment actor with no background and being Ms. Long’s godson.

The former will not have any influence on her grandfather, but the latter would make him care about him, which is why this meeting happened.

Qin Lu snorted suddenly, “What you really want to know and send a connection to is actually me and my mother.”

After being punctured, Mo Siqing also knew that she couldn’t hide it from Qin Lu, so she admitted frankly: “That’s right. I am really worried that my stepmother will trick Jiang Liucheng into asking you for help.”

Jiang Liucheng said: “You don’t have to come to me at all. I am not interested in your affairs.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Siqing finally felt relieved. She was relieved. As long as they didn’t help her stepmother, she would have the confidence to beat her stepmother.

Not a while after Mo Siqing left, Zhou Beiwang came back.

“I have already donated one million in the name of Liucheng. Did your conversation finish already? That woman left so quickly.”

Jiang Liucheng said: “She is quite decisive. She is a smart person.”

Qin Lu said with a smile: “She is indeed a smart person, but it is a pity that she is a daughter. Otherwise, with her intelligence and skills, the sons of the Mo family would not be able to bear her. Her true opponent in the Mo family is the old man. He will not let a woman inherit the family property.”

Zhou Beiwang became interested when he heard Qin Lu’s statement and echoed: “I know the old man of the Mo family. He is old-fashioned, especially patriarchal. In fact, it has been said that their family still uses some feudal ideas, such as addresses or titles. And when there are guests at home, women cannot eat at the same table with men. The essence has not been learned, but a lot of feudal dross has been left behind. I praised Mo Siqing when she said that if she wasn’t born in the Mo family, she would be more accomplished. But speaking of it, if she can really inherit the Mo family’s assets, she might be the next Aunt Long.”

Qin Lu: “Not now. But maybe in the future.”

Jiang Liucheng praised: “Regardless of whether she can become like Mother Long, someone who can fight for the shackles and break the old ones to win the future for herself is quite powerful.”

Qin Lu suddenly froze.
