The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise - Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Slapping Mu Chenxi’s Face – 2

It was out of Fu Zhi’s expectation that Mu Chenxi, whose life was as tough as a cockroach and who remained persistent no matter how many times she defeated her, would start weeping tears just because she answered “okay”.

Jiang Zong could not help himself and looked at Mu Chenxi.

‘That’s all she got? Fu Zhi hasn’t done anything to her and she already started to cry? I was beaten by her last time and I didn’t even make a single sound.’

Jiang Zong retracted his gaze from the group of reporters with cameras.

He thought for a moment and then handed a paper towel to Mu Chenxi before saying, “Don’t cry.”

‘There are a lot more chances for you to cry in the future since you’ve gotten under Fu Zhi’s skin right now.’

Jiang Zong did not know why his father wanted to cooperate with the Jiang Family at all. They were useless and they were just a bunch of simpletons.

For example, Mu Chenxi was not able to see through Jiang Zong’s true intention right now. She lowered her head as her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. “Thank you, Mr. Jiang.”

However, she received no response from Jiang Zong. When she raised her head, she was stunned when she saw Jiang Zong had already gone to Fu Zhi’s side and was draping his jacket over her shoulders.

‘He’s such a sc*mbag!’

On the other hand, Fu Zhi tried her best to stay away from Jiang Zong, for he looked like someone who would die young.

Jiang Zong took another step to approach her and said, “The weather is freezing and you might get a cold. I heard you’re going to make a movie?”

Fu Zhi lifted her head and looked at him.

“I know you’re the one who sabotaged the cooperation between Pure Feather and the Mu Family.”

It was not a secret that Pure Feather had terminated her cooperation with the Mu Family. The reason Jiang Zong’s father asked him to come to Yu City was to cut ties with the Mu Family as well as to figure out the things between the Mu Family and Pure Feather.

Jiang Zong had never read “Phantom Light” before, but since “Red Sun” was the required reading material for the college entrance examination, it went without saying that Jiang Zong had read through it before.

If he did not read the book, then he might not realize it, but after he read the book, although he was marveled by the writing style of the author, he could see some shadows of Fu Zhi from the characters that she created.

Star Maker Entertainments had also released a statement to explain the meeting of Ye Shiyun and Fu Zhi.

After Jiang Zong had connected all the dots, he realized something but he was not sure about it.

As such, when he was talking to Fu Zhi, he was wearing a smile on his face and he did not beat around the bushes. It was as if he was saying “Just admit it that you’re the troublemaker”, causing Fu Zhi to have an urge to reply, “The winter is coming, and it’s time for the Jiang Corporation to go bankrupt”.

With that thought in mind, Fu Zhi stopped in her tracks. However, before she could say anything, Jiang Zong continued, “Well, I have some extra money recently. Not much, about 80 to 90 million yuan. It might be too little for a commercial film, but it should be more than sufficient to fund your domestic war film.”

Fu Zhi thought for a while and replied, “Yeah, it’s enough.”

“So Ms. Fu, don’t you think you should spend some effort to entertain your future investor? If…”

“If you’re talking about investment, then you can stop talking now,” Fu Zhi interrupted, “After all, there are a lot of people who want to invest in my movie. However, if you insist, you can always donate the money to us, and we might put your name up on the closing credits.”

Jiang Zong was stumped.

‘Donate? Might? So that means there’s a chance I won’t get anything in return after I throw my money into the movie?!’

Jiang Zong did not know he should laugh at Fu Zhi or beat her. He pointed at himself and hissed, ‘Fu Zhi, do you think I’m stupid?”

*

The gathering started soon after Fu Zhi had arrived.

Mr. Mu came forward and warmed up the atmosphere. Although the aim of this gathering was to humiliate Fu Zhi, most importantly, a lot of well-known movie directors had shown up as well because the Ouyang Family and the Jiang Family had sent their respective representatives to the gathering.

Mr. Mu asked Mu Chenxi to prepare for the piano performance later. Besides, he also had invited the most famous orchestra and dance group in Yu City, as well as some potential actors and actresses to the gathering.

Everyone began to take their seats.

Perhaps they had a different identity, Song Fang was placed in the last row, while Fu Zhi was placed in the second row. As for Jiang Zong, he was sitting diagonally to Fu Zhi.

There was an angry expression on his face and his jaw was tightly set.

After all of the guests had taken their seats, Mr. Mu then started to give his speech, “First of all, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to the gathering held by the Mu family. The main objective of this gathering is to create a space for you all to catch up with each other, listen to some music, and watch some dances, as well as to address the collaboration with Pure Feather on the publication of the film and television…”

A round of applause erupted as Mr. Mu continued his speech.

Song Fang rolled his eyes as he had never seen someone as shameless as Mr. Mu before. Not only did he say that the Jiang Family and the Ouyang Family were their friends, but also implied that Pure Feather would continue to work with them.

[But the Jiang Family and the Ouyang Family are indeed supporting them.] Fu Zhi replied.

[That’s why I don’t understand. Are the Ouyang Family and the Jiang Family blind? Why can’t they just mind their own stuff? Why must they work with a shameless family like the Mu Family? Is there a loose screw in their heads?]

[Well, I’m sure they have their own plan for cooperating with the Mu Family. The Jiang Family is cunning, and I guess they just want to make things warm for the Fu Family.]

Song Fang was not familiar with how things work in a company, so he did not reply to Fu Zhi. At the same time, the more Fu Zhi thought about it, the angrier she became with the Jiang Family.

It was exactly because of the Jiang Family’s support that emboldened the Mu Family. If it were not because they wanted to ruin her reputation, would Song Fang drag her to the gathering?

If Song Fang did not drag her to the gathering, she would be skiing with Xu Wei at the free ski resort built near her home right now.

The Jiang Family had created so much trouble for her and the Fu Family, while she just wanted Jiang Zong to donate to her movie and he still refused to do it?

The anger in Fu Zhi’s heart grew even stronger as she thought about it. Then, overwhelmed by her rage, she delivered a kick to Jiang Zong’s chair.

“I just want you to donate to my movie, what’s wrong with that?”

‘You only lost 80 to 90 million yuan, but I lost my joy of going to the ski resort!’

With that thought in mind, Fu Zhi continued, “I don’t care what you say, you have to donate to my movie! Don’t tell me that the Jiang family is so poor that you can’t even take 80 or 90 million yuan out?”

Jiang Zong turned his head around and looked at Fu Zhi in disbelief. He did not know what had gotten into Fu Zhi’s brain and why she wanted to kick his chair. That said, he was not a pushover and he was not going to let Fu Zhi off the hook so easily.

He looked at her angrily and hissed, “You don’t want your leg anymore? Kick me again if you dare!”

Fu Zhi nodded and she kicked Jiang Zong’s chair again.

Jiang Zong became speechless.

‘F*ck! Do you think I’m a Hello Kitty just because I don’t dare to beat you? Let me show you how I fight!’

Jiang Zong shot up from his seat. Sitting not far away, Ouyang Ya lifted her brows. She went nearer to Wu Zhiheng and said, “I heard that Jiang Zong has a bad temper, and he’s someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Just you wait. If the Mu Family doesn’t kick Fu Zhi out of this hall, Jiang Zong is going to turn the entire hall upside down.”

Honestly, Wu Zhiheng still could not get over Fu Zhi yet. After all, she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen in his life. It was just that after what she did to him a few days ago, he pushed away the last bit of love he had for her and harrumphed, “Hmph! She deserves it.”

Jiang Zong indeed had a bad temper. After he exchanged glances with Fu Zhi, he raised his arm up into the air.

Wu Zhiheng’s heart leaped into his throat.

‘Holy! Her cheek would certainly swell up if that slap hit her face.’

Just when Wu Zhiheng pulled his phone out to take down the historical moment, a loud thud erupted from the front row of the hall.

Jiang Zong’s hand fell on the shoulder of a certain well-known movie director on his right side as he asked, “Can we change seats?”

Both Wu Zhiheng and Ouyang Ya’s jaws dropped to the floor and they could not come around to their senses for a long time after they saw what had just happened.

‘You’re the heir of the Jiang Corporation, and you’re afraid of Fu Zhi?!

The corner of Ouyang Ya’s lips twitched uncontrollably.

Wu Zhiheng then asked, “Why didn’t Jiang Zong beat her?”

“He probably didn’t want to talk too much or fight with a bandit like Fu Zhi, but I’m sure that he’s not a pushover, and if Fu Zhi still refuses to change her attitude, she will be in big trouble.”

In Ouyang Ya’s perspective, Fu Zhi was nothing different from a bandit.

At the same time as Ouyang Ya had finished speaking, Fu Zhi suddenly realized that her legs were pretty long. Although they were not as long as Ye Jiu’s, she was still able to reach the back of Jiang Zong’s chair without any difficulty.

As such, she put down the gaming console in her hand and delivered another kick at the back of Jiang Zong’s chair.

Jiang Zong was stunned.

He spun around to look at Fu Zhi again and said, “Fu Zhi, do you really think I don’t dare to beat you?”

As he was talking, he pulled his hand out of his pocket.

‘This is it! This is it! They are going to fight!’ Wu Zhiheng shouted inwardly.

At the same time, the movie director sitting next to Jiang Zong was shivering uncontrollably, as he feared that Jiang Zong might accidentally hit him again.

“I see,” Fu Zhi replied flatly.

Wu Zhiheng pointed to and said to Ouyang Ya, “See? No man can resist that kind of provocation!”

Just like Wu Zhiheng said, Jiang Zong could not hold himself anymore and flung a check at Fu Zhi, “Take the money away and leave me alone. I will go to watch the movie, so make sure you put my name on the end credits.”

Fu Zhi said, “Wow! Thank you, Mr. Jiang. You’re really so generous!”

Jiang Zong felt his chest begin to ache again and he felt that it was a wrong decision to come to this gathering.
