Due to the voices of the ma.s.ses who were either curious or furious about the unsolved plagiarism event, the legal teams of each party were put into pressure.Like what he promised, Jiang Li always visited Qin Tai"s office, although it was to joke around or have free coffee there. He would never stay for more than ten minutes. And sometimes he would not really be able to come up or go near the top floor since the CEO of Starlight was of course, always busy.
The news pa.s.sed to Mo Fang and her frequency of staring blankly into the void became greater in number.
"Have someone take the blame for me! If not I"ll make a statement by myself that I"m innocent. I"m only the singer and the faulty, d.a.m.nable songs are only given for me to interpret and record, which is the one and only truth!"
The woman listened to the male lead reasoned to Mo Zan. The latter"s eyes fell onto her when the man finished speaking.
"… You kept praising me before for writing those. But now you want me to take the sole blame?"
Mo Fang wanted to argue but couldn"t when faced with President Mo"s icy stare. She felt wronged and secretly looked down, then slightly raised her eyes towards Liu De.
It was for him that she did those things. Yet how was he treating? Didn"t he promise he would always be there for her so no matter what challenges they faced, she didn"t have to be afraid? Without her noticing, the gaze she was giving him became loathful and sharp.
The man also did not notice it since he was increasingly getting stressed by all the chain of events. Haggardness was starting to show in his face.
He wanted to tell the world he was innocent, because he really was. But Mo Zan instructed him not to stay anything for now. He had a hunch she was trying to reverse the situation so she wanted him not to reveal that it was their side which was in the wrong, with a stupid actress pulling out the songs from G.o.d knows where and claiming them theirs.
"No matter what happened, if you speak and rat this truth out, then Dreamer will be damaged. The plagiarist still came from my side. Please… Liu De. Let me think of something,"
Mo Zan rarely showed weakness so even though he felt wronged as well, he stopped complaining for several days. But he was reaching his limit too. After all, this was the first time his music and drama were being flops. The endors.e.m.e.nt supposed to be in his bag were backing out… And the same woman was telling him to disappear from the industry for a couple of months before returning.
How could he accept that? He was meant to be a superstar so he couldn"t go on hiatus! What if the people forget him?
"At times like this, I hate that the system can only improve my face value, singing, dancing, and acting. But nothing else. It constantly issued mission which I have to make sure to achieve, or else, it will randomly deduct my stats."
"So f*cking useless. Why can"t it detect plagiarism issues ahead of time so it can warn me or help me go back in time so I can slap the foolish me who believes in Mo Fang?"
The man kept blaming things. But he forgot that the fault was also in him for not verifying Mo Fang"s source. He also put so much faith in the system and became too dependent on it. The last time he actually practiced honing his skills was a year ago. Since the system could magically make him improve, he chose the easy way and just completed missions, regardless of the content and motive. Even the songs and scripts he used to flaunt before were not also created by him but conjured magically by the system as his reward for "leveling up".
"Host, I"m not omnipotent. I can bring you to the top of the entertainment world through skills. But all matters outside that shall depend on you." This was a warning on his first day of waking up in this world. Yet he already forgot it.
With his mind clouded by anger and the urgency to immediately clear his name, he debated with his manager and his lovers.
Mo Fang reached the point that she couldn"t stomach looking at his face or listening to his voice so she walked out and let them continue their talks by themselves there.
It took her an hour to reach her condo. Actually her place was only less than forty-five minutes away but she was held back for some time by the reporters camping outside.
The woman saw the messages on her phone asking her to come clean. The texts were from Liu De and their manager. She ignored those and snorted. In the end, it was Mo Zan who was fighting for her even if it was for the reputation and credibility of Dreamer.
"In my past life, with an att.i.tude and a dark heart like this, how the h.e.l.l did he manage to reach the peak of the s...o...b..z world?" She spoke as if the man was not a lover who fell into bed countless times with her.
She cried for almost half a day and somehow ended up browsing the videos on Zheng Xiang"s account. This time she did not close her eyes so she found out that her ex-husband longed so much for her and had started his makeover maybe to show him that he could change, if it was his appearance that made her lose her interest. Of course, this was only in the messy head of the woman. But it did not stop her from crying more and wis.h.i.+ng she had not become so stupid.
"Why did I think to become a member of the elite, the only way is to marry someone who is sure to be one of them? Dogsh*t Liu De… He"s not that impressive. He"s also way too l.u.s.ty and arrogant when his size is not even comparable to Zheng Xiang."
With that thought, the girl seemed to have woken up from a long dream and realized her mistakes…
She was a reborn woman!
She was with the knowledge of a few important events that could help her become rich and respected on her own.
Who was Liu De in front of somebody who could resist fate and predict the future? Why did she have to latch onto him as if he was her sole hope in becoming a member of the upper society?
Ah… she had really been stupid and let go of the one who truly loved her.
