Chapter 514 Thought Too Highly of Herself
Bai Rong said coldly, “So, did you call me just to watch me make a fool of myself? What do you think? Look at me now. Don’t you feel that it’s especially satisfying?”
Perhaps it was because she had been under too much pressure recently, that it had caused Bai Rong to become extremely irritable.
Although Mu Chen and Bai Rong’s relationship had fallen apart, they had been boyfriend and girlfriend before for so long. No matter how much resentment he had in his heart, there was still a trace of friendship there.
His mocking words were already on the tip of his tongue. After thinking about it, he forcefully swallowed them back down.
His tone softened as he said, “What do you think about working with me? You help me with something, and I’ll help you solve your current predicament.”
“Why? Is your life that terrible that you need to come to me for help?” Bai Rong’s words were full of sarcasm. It was a huge difference from her previous image as a delicate flower.
Even though Mu Chen was a little angry, he still held it in and explained in a good-natured manner, “I’ve made a fortune overseas. Now my capital is stable and the company is on the rise. I can be considered to have a firm foothold within the Mu family.”
Upon hearing that Mu Chen had a firm foothold in the Mu family, Bai Rong’s originally dim eyes instantly lit up. She had thought that with Mu Chen’s ability, there would not be any development in the future.
She had not expected him to actually be capable of gaining a firm foothold in the Mu family and developing his business in a foreign country.
Could it be that he had come to look for her for old times’ sake?
Thinking of this, Bai Rong’s tone finally softened.
She said, “If you’ve come back to ask for us to get back together, I can consider it as long as you can help me get through this matter.”
Mu Chen was stunned when he heard that. Since when did he have the intention of getting back together with Bai Rong?
Seeing that Bai Rong had misunderstood his meaning, he hurriedly explained, “Bai Rong, I think you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t come to look for you this time to get back together with you. However, it’s true that I’m offering to help you.”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I came back this time to pursue Fang Mo’er again. I know that you have a grudge against her, but as long as you let go of that grudge and help me, I can help you return to the entertainment industry.”
Bai Rong had always had the impression that Mu Chen had always hated Fang Mo’er. In the past, Fang Mo’er had loved him so much that she had never looked back.
Aside from the fact that Fang Mo’er did not love him anymore, just the fact that she already had a boyfriend, a boyfriend who was even richer and more handsome than him, did not mean that she would even look at him.
Moreover, she did not believe that Mu Chen had really fallen in love with Fang Mo’er now that he had left the country.
Now that he was telling her that he wanted to pursue Fang Mo’er, he must be putting on an act for her to see. He was taking a step back in order to advance, and his true intention was to pursue her again.
With this thought in mind, she said in a straightforward manner, “Mu Chen, using the excuse of pursuing your previous ex-girlfriend to make peace with your other ex-girlfriends is quite a repulsive approach. It’s better to say it openly. There’s still a chance.”
Mu Chen was confused. What ex-girlfriend? Ex-girlfriend?
He frowned and thought for a moment before it suddenly dawned on him. Bai Rong had misunderstood and thought that he was just using Fang Mo’er as an excuse to provoke her into getting back together with him.
He explained helplessly, “Rong ‘er, I think you’ve misunderstood. I really have come back this time to win back Fang Mo’er. You didn’t really love me back then so it’s impossible for us to be together. But Mo’er is different. I believe that as long as I work hard, I’ll definitely be able to win her heart.”
“But Fang Mo’er already has a boyfriend.” Bai Rong said in a low voice. She still could not believe that even Mu Chen had feelings for Fang Mo’er.
“So what if she has a boyfriend? As long as she likes me back, it’ll be fine.” Mu Chen was not bothered at all.
When she heard that Mu Chen was really planning on chasing after Fang Mo’er, a wave of jealousy and anger sprang up.
Bai Rong gritted her teeth and said, “Mu Chen, are you kidding me? You want me to help my ex-boyfriend chase after his ex-girlfriend? Is there something wrong with your brain or is there something wrong with my brain?”
Mu Chen had originally loved her. Back then, Fang Mo’er had been so generous to him and had even given away all her wealth for Mu Chen. Yet, Mu Chen had not even looked at her. Instead, he had only had eyes for Bai
Rong.
Now that Bai Rong had already broken up with Mu Chen, he actually wanted to chase after Fang Mo’er again. This was clearly a slap to Bai Rong’s face. Didn’t this mean that she was inferior to Fang Mo’er?
After talking so much with Bai Rong, Mu Chen’s patience had gradually worn out and his voice had gradually turned cold. “That’s why I said that I would make a deal with you. I’ll help you get through this difficult time and return to the entertainment industry. In exchange, you’ll help me chase after Fang Mo’er. Isn’t that fair?”
Although she was angry, Bai Rong was still moved when she heard that she could return to the entertainment industry. She asked, “But I’ve already been frozen. Can you really help me make a comeback?”
Mu Chen said, “Naturally, it won’t be in China, but it can be done abroad. As long as you agree, I can make you an international star. We both know each other well, so it’ll be convenient to work together.”
