?Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Qiao Ruoxin! Are you deliberately going against me?   Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Qiao Ruoxin! Are you deliberately going against me?                                   Hengzhong Film Company, Artists Division.


    After leaving the hospital, Qiao Ruoxin went straight to thepany.


    “Ruoxin, you’re finally here.” Song Yingying hugged her emotionally as soon as she saw her.


    This sudden enthusiasm puzzled Qiao Ruoxin.


    “What’s wrong?”


    Song Yingying let go of her: “We got an endorsement deal for a mobile game!”


    “That’s great.”


    Ever since their group formed, endorsement resources had been pretty average, and many top-notch brands had wanted only Qiao Ruoxin to endorse their products, but thepany had refused them all.


    “But…”


    “But what?”


    Song Yingying said somewhat awkwardly: “But it’s a gamepany under the Lawrence Family…”


    Her expression changed instantly.


    It was Simon again.


    Then, Qiao Ruoxin noticed that all the members of the girl group were looking at her, as if afraid she would throw a tantrum.


    “Ruoxin,e here for a second,” her agent called out.


    Qiao Ruoxin walked over to her agent who said, “Ruoxin, Mr. Bai said whether to take this endorsement or not, the decision is up to you.”


    She suddenly felt a great pressure.


    Turning back to look at the expectant eyes of all the girl group members.


    Undoubtedly, everyone wanted this endorsement, as the gamepany under the Lawrence Family was incredibly popr in the country, appealing to both young and old.


    But… if she epted the endorsement, Mo Chen would definitely be unhappy.


    Suddenly, Kong Ling jumped out and said: “Ruoxin, this is a great opportunity, and the endorsement fee is very high, you should be able to keep personal and professional issues separate, right?”


    Nobody knew who added another sentence: “Yeah, you can’t let your personal matters affect our earnings, can you?”


    Qiao Ruoxin looked around at everyone’s disdainful eyes, stayed silent for a few minutes, and then said, “Let’s take it then.”


    …


    Evening.


    She returned to the Jiang Mansion No. 1, was changing her shoes when the housekeeper came over and asked, “Miss Qiao, have you had dinner?”


    “I have, is Mo Chen at home?”


    “He’s in the study.”


    Qiao Ruoxin stood at the door of the upstairs study, uncertain whether to enter or not.


    After a long hesitation, she finally knocked on the door.


    A deep male voice came from inside: “Come in.”


    She pushed the door open and entered, seeing Mo Chen sitting behind the desk, his dark eyes fixed on theputer screen, seemingly engrossed in something.


    Qiao Ruoxin went over and took the initiative to sit on the man’sp.


    She nced at theputer screen, which showed some English emails or something of the sort.


    The man wrapped his arms around her fragrant soft body as a smile curved on his lips: “Not happy?”


    She hugged him, resting her chin on his broad shoulders, and spoke softly, “I epted a mobile game endorsement, it’s Simon’s gamingpany in the country…”


    Before she could finish, as expected, Mo Chen flew into a rage, pushing her away from him.


    “Qiao Ruoxin! Are you deliberately opposing me?” His voice was filled with an angry roar.


    Qiao Ruoxin straightened up, startled.


    “Don’t be angry, I didn’t want to take this endorsement either, but I have the whole girl group to think about; I can’t ignore them. They would hate me, and we finally got an endorsement from a top-tierpany.”


    The man suddenly stood up, towering over her, his presence so overwhelming that she found it difficult to breathe.


    “Go public with our rtionship, and you can have all the resources you want, all the top endorsements in every field, I’ll give them to you!”


    He couldn’t control his rage, not wanting Qiao Ruoxin to have the slightest connection with that trash!


    “…”


    The silence from Qiao Ruoxin made his volcano erupt instantly.


    The next second, he kicked over the desk in front of him, theputer crashing to the ground with a loud noise.


    She couldn’t help but take a step back, her eyes filled with shock and fear.


    “Mo Chen, brother…”


    “You’d rather be entangled with that trash than go public with our rtionship with me? You’re ruthless!”


    Mo Chen dropped those words, turned, and left the study with an aura of anger.


    Then, she heard the sound of various things shattering in the hallway outside, as if he was walking and smashing things along the way.


    This man’s temper was getting more and more vtile, leaving no chance for any exnation.


    Qiao Ruoxin turned and chased down the stairs, but Mo Chen was nowhere to be seen, then she heard the sound of a car engine starting from outside.


    She rushed out of the vi, only to see the car disappearing into the distance.


    Her gaze dimmed slightly, and she called Mo Chen, but no matter how long she called, no one answered.


    Perhaps, it was time to talk to Mrs. Mo.


    …


    Inside a private room at the Mansion No. 7,


    With a ‘bang,’ the door was suddenly kicked open.


    Everyone abruptly looked up, thinking someone hade to start trouble.


    But upon seeing that it was Master Mo, they all immediately regained theirposure, used to such urrences.


    Mo Chen walked expressionlessly to a solo sofa and sat down, picking up a bottle of whiskey in front of him, pouring a ss, and downing it in one gulp.


    Ji Haochuan: “What’s the matter now? This doesn’t look good.”


    Lu Siheng: “Wild guess, it’s because of Sister Qiao again.”


    Gu Mocheng: “Hasn’t that Little Ghost been behaving welltely?”


    Bai Junyan: “She took up Simon’s endorsement. Actually, you can’t me her for that, there’s the entire girl group, too. If she selfishly refused, wouldn’t she be cursed to death by the others?”


    The man said nothing and just kept drinking one ss after another.


    Anger was erupting in those dark eyes, like a beast trapped in a pit, ready to break out of its cage and go on a rampage at any moment.


    It was utterly ridiculous!


    She would rather be mixed up with that trash than acknowledge their love openly!


    Ultimately, it was because she didn’t love him!


    Perhaps, it was time to give Qiao Ruoxin a sense of crisis, or else Little Ghost would always be toocent!


    Mo Chen’s handsome face tense, his ck eyes fixed on the whiskey in the ss he was holding, gripping it so hard, as if he wanted to crush the ss.


    The phone beside him began to vibrate, disying ‘Little Ghost’.


    He nced at the phone screen with his eyes lowered, with no intention of answering the call, letting it ring on and on.


    Suddenly, a viciousness appeared in Mo Chen’s eyes as he poured another ss of whiskey and leaned back.


    At that moment, a dark aura enveloped him, chilling to the onlooker.


    …


    Meanwhile,


    Qiao Ruoxin, pacing back and forth anxiously at home.


    She was not picking up so many calls, and he drove off in such anger, could something happen?


    “Answer the phone, answer the phone, answer the phone!” she couldn’t help but quietly urge.


    Finally, on her 17th call, it connected.


    Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes lit up as she gripped the phone tightly: “Mo Chen, brother!”


    “Hmm…” The man’szy voice came from the other end of the phone, seemingly a bit drunk?


    “Where are you, can Ie pick you up? Don’t be angry!”


    “No need, I don’t want to go back tonight.”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes flickered with confusion: “Why?”


    “Because I don’t want to see you right now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist the urge to kill you.”


    “…” She hesitated slightly: “Can youe back, and we talk it over, please?”


    “You don’t love me, you don’t care about my feelings, what’s there to talk about? In the end, it’s always me amodating you.”


    There was a hint of self-deprecating humor in the man’s tone, mixed with a trace of exhaustion.
