Chapter 319: Was the Scapegoat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone knew that her original character had been obsessed with Mu Chen. Wasn’t Xue Ni deliberately stirring up trouble by asking this question?
Of course, Fang Mo’er could not say that her first love was Shi Mo. If she said it, it would only make people laugh at her for being fake.
Shi Mo paused slightly from drinking, but he quickly continued drinking without even lifting his head.
He already knew the answer in his heart, but...
Perhaps it was because the alcohol in the red wine was too strong, the wine burned his throat and his heart, causing him to feel somewhat irritated.
Fang Mo’er’s honest voice came from beside him, “Many people know this person, it was Mu Chen.”
Xue Ni’s eyes lit up and she raised her eyebrows. She knew that asking this question would definitely embarrass Fang Mo’er.
Previously, Fang Mo’er had openly written many love songs for Mu Chen in the entertainment industry.
The show of affection had simply been too much. Just one would have been sufficient to move the heart.
“Who is Mu Chen? I’ve never heard of him.”
“I think he used to run an entertainment company. He’s the Second Young Master of the Mu family.”
“Oh, I think I’ve heard of a song before. ‘No Regrets’. It seems to have been written by Miss Fang.”
Several of the people present discussed it.
The originally calm demeanor that Fang Mo’er had so far been able to maintain started to become a little unnatural.
The hand that she was using to hold the wine glass especially became a little stiff. Subconsciously, she looked at Shi Mo.
Shi Mo’s head was lowered, so no emotions could be seen.
D*mn it.
She had not expected Xue Ni to be so cunning. She had actually used such a thing as a trump card to catch Fang Mo’er off guard.
It looked like Xue Ni was not an uncomplicated person. She must have already investigated her background thoroughly.
Otherwise, with so many people present, they would not have discussed her past so clearly.
Even the title of the song had come out.
Fang Mo’er really wanted to say that all her actions in the past had been done by her original character and not by her at all. However, she knew that no one would believe her even if she said it.
She could only take the blame silently.
To remedy the situation, Fang Mo’er quickly took Shi Mo’s hand in hers and smiled, “However, all that is in the past. The present is the future.”
In the end, Shi Mo held Fang Mo’er’s hand before raising his head and calmly saying, “Next round.”
After saying that, Shi Mo finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.
He felt like he was not drinking wine, but vinegar.
Fang Mo’er felt that the hand that was holding hers was heavier than usual.
She smiled and raised her glass to drink. In the next second, the man took the wine glass from her hand and beckoned for the waiter.
The waiter nodded and asked respectfully, “What would you like to order, Young Master Shi?”
Shi Mo frowned and nodded his glass, “She doesn’t drink.”
Fang Mo’er really wanted to say that she did actually drink. It was just that her alcohol tolerance was not very good.
However, when she heard Shi Mo’s slightly cold tone, she felt it was better not to speak at this time.
As expected, the waiter quickly changed Fang Mo’er to a non-alcoholic drink.
The other members of the gentry that were present were all dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen Shi Mo take care of a woman.
Xue Ni clenched her fists tightly. She could clearly see that Shi Mo was unhappy, yet he was still so considerate towards Fang Mo’er.
How could this woman, whose body and soul had long been tainted, be worthy of the high and mighty Shi Mo?
Even Xue Ni herself had not even dared to chase him. She had only dared to watch over him silently.
Shi Mo had held onto Fang Mo’er’s hand the entire time. She held a straw in her other hand and took a sip of the fruit juice in front of her.
Instantly, her face turned slightly red.
Usually, whenever she went out, she had never been taken care of so carefully. Shi Mo was the only one who did not allow her to drink.
If she had been with Fang Han, the two of them would have opened several bottles of wine and drank happily.
On the other side, the wine glass in front of Shi Mo had been filled up again.
In the end, Shi Mo drank it all in one gulp.
When Xue Lei saw the way Shi Mo was drinking, he did not dare to ignore it. He also drank his wine in one gulp.
When the other young masters saw Shi Mo drinking so fiercely, they immediately cried out in their hearts. They could only accompany Shi Mo to drink.
If Shi Mo drank one cup, they had to drink two cups, no matter what.
They could not drink less than Shi Mo.. They could not possibly lose out to him.
