Chapter 1548: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (21)
An illegitimate son.
It was right. Unfortunately, he happened to be one.
So did it mean illegitimate children had no rights and deserved to be treated like dirt by others?
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and lowered his head. He clenched his fists tightly.
At this point, the cell phone rang.
He picked up the call. It was his manager. The man said, “Brother Mo, what do we do now? This matter has blown up and it’s starting a lot of discussion among the general public. Argh! Even Director Wang has called to ask what this was about.”
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Before he could say anything, another call came in. He looked at his screen and saw it was Director Wang.
He said to his manager, “It’s a call from Director Wang, hang on.”
He switched to the other line.
Director Wang’s voice spoke, “Mo Xicheng, what is going on?”
Mo Xicheng paused for a brief moment and said, “I’m indeed the illegitimate son of the Mo Family. Director Wang, I’m sorry. I will get my manager to cancel the contract for Ambition 2. And I will make the necessary compensation—”
Before he could finish, Director Wang laughed icily and said, “What are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to break our contract?”
Mo Xicheng was taken aback. “But you—”
“I’m calling to inform you that you will join the filming crew in a month, so get the dirty business in your company sorted.”
He didn’t sound amiable but oddly, it made Mo Xicheng feel warm.
He could help asking, “Director Wang, don’t you mind?”
“Mind what exactly? I’m making a film and I care only about acting skills and the character. You’re the best choice for the film. Why should I be influenced by the outside world and lose a key actor?”
Mo Xicheng found himself laughing when he heard this.
Director Wang grunted and continued, “If you’re unhappy being a dog-fart CEO, then come back to the entertainment industry. We can do as we did, make films happily, and live like a proper human being.”
Mo Xicheng was touched by these words and he said, “Alright. I understand.”
Before they hung up, Director Wang suddenly said, “Oh, right. I’ve nominated you for Best Actor Award in this year’s film festival. But I don’t know what the outcome might be.”
“Ok, thank you.”
After he hung up, Mo Xicheng sighed in relief.
At this point, the phone rang once more. It was the manager again.
Mo Xicheng picked up the call to hear the man ask, “Brother Mo, what now?”
Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and smiled icily after a moment. A sharp expression flashed across his eyes as he said unhurriedly, “No hurry. What we need to do is take all changes while maintaining our course. I have known all along that she would do this at some point.”
Right from the time Yao Lili had unintentionally threatened him and said that she was going to tell the media, he had known that she would do it one day..
However, it was practically a joke that a mother would go to this extent to ensure the downfall of her own son.
The manager was reassured by his steadiness and stopped panicking. He nodded and said, “Alright. I think more news reports will follow. I do feel that you will need a few good people from the entertainment industry to stand behind you and put in a few words. If only Director Wang would post something on Weibo, it would solve at least half of the problem. And Best Actor Shen…”
Mo Xicheng smiled bitterly when he heard his manager’s suggestion.
