445 Childhood Friends
“Miss Shen, this is the female lead of our movie, Mo Rao.” Jia Li brought Shen Jia to Mo Rao and introduced.
Mo Rao extended her hand politely and smiled. “Hello, Miss Shen.”
Shen Jia sized Mo Rao up and chuckled. Then, she reached out and shook Mo Rao’s hand as she said, “I’ve heard of your name long ago. You’re indeed as gorgeous as a fairy who has descended to the mortal world. As expected of someone who has seduced Fu Ying.”
“Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Shen Jia, the future heir of the Shen Corporation, and Fu Ying’s childhood sweetheart.” Shen Jia smiled and introduced herself. Then, she leaned closer to Mo Rao and said softly, “If nothing goes wrong, I will marry Fu Ying in the future.”
Mo Rao froze.
Marry?
Mo Rao knew that the Shen family and the Fu family had a good relationship, but she had never heard of Shen Jia and Fu Ying being together.
However, she didn’t care and only smiled as she replied, “So you’re the eldest daughter of the Shen family. If it’s as you say, I have to congratulate you.”
When Shen Jia saw Mo Rao’s calm expression, she suddenly felt as if she had punched cotton.
Previously, she had heard that Mo Rao was head over heels for Fu Ying. She thought that even if Mo Rao was hurt by Fu Ying so badly, she would still have some feelings for Fu Ying when she saw Fu Ying pursuing her.
But now, she couldn’t figure out what Mo Rao was thinking.
“If that day really comes, I will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet.” Shen Jia added. After saying that, she walked away to greet the other actors.
After Shen Jia left, Mo Rao sat on the chair again and read the script attentively.
However, the word “marry” kept popping up in her mind.
Was Fu Ying really going to marry Shen Jia?
It made sense.
The Fu family and the Shen family were family friends, and the Fu family was always sandwiched between the Shen family and the Qu family. In addition, Shen Jia had known Fu Ying since she was young. Mo Rao didn’t know anything about their shared memories and she also didn’t know what Fu Ying thought of Shen Jia.
But why was she thinking about this?
Whoever Fu Ying married in the future had nothing to do with her.
Not wanting to be distracted by this matter, Mo Rao quickly returned her attention to the script.
Shen Jia was indeed generous to the production team. She found an upscale restaurant and treated the entire production team to steak and coffee.
During lunch, Mo Rao ate the steak sent by Shen Jia while listening to Tong Yue chat with the others.
“President Shen is really generous! This is the best meal we’ve eaten since we started filming, right?” Tong Yue was very satisfied with this steak and ate it with relish.
“The Shen Corporation is a large corporation comparable to those of the Fu family and the Qu family. Moreover, I heard that Shen Jia is very impressive. She returned from studying business overseas and has even been a model overseas. She’s very outstanding,” a staff member said to Tong Yue gossipily. “Moreover, I heard that the Shen family even intends to marry Shen Jia to Fu Ying.”
“Isn’t Fu Ying disabled?”
“He just has a limp. His status is still very high.”
…
Discussions about Fu Ying and Shen Jia kept entering Mo Rao’s ears. Tong Yue didn’t want Mo Rao to hear them and overthink things, so she went to Mo Rao’s side and chatted with her. “Rao Rao, is it delicious?”
“Yes, it’s quite delicious. President Shen is indeed generous and impressive.” Mo Rao echoed what they had just said.
Chen Xiang happened to pass by at this moment and laughed as she said, “Indeed, Shen Jia is a legendary woman. Compared to you, she’s more compatible with Fu Ying.”
“Chen Xiang, do you know how to speak properly?!” Tong Yue glared at Chen Xiang angrily. “Shut up if you don’t know how to speak properly!”
“I can say whatever I want. Besides, Mo Rao didn’t even say anything, so why is a lackey like you so worked up?” Chen Xiang had always been feisty and bickered with Tong Yue from time to time.
Tong Yue flew into a rage and wanted to continue retorting, but she was stopped by Mo Rao. “Alright, alright, stop arguing. I don’t care if she’s compatible with Fu Ying or not. Chen Xiang, you don’t have to say this in front of me. It won’t affect me at all.”
