Chapter 2124: Saying Things That Hurt People

~7 min read 1,380 words

Although the female model's tactics were always the same old things, back and forth.

Yet every time she had made a move before, she had succeeded.

But today of all days... her move failed the moment she made it.

Fortunately, she had a second chance!

If she could take this opportunity to win over Jiang Mobai, then why worry about her future development?

The female model was determined to have Jiang Mobai.

But Jiang Mobai questioned her: "Didn't you say you were a strong, independent woman? How do you still have time to drink and chat?"

"This... work is important, but relaxing is also important."

"I advise you not to relax. In your line of work, you need to stay tense, and you must have a sense of crisis."

"But you might not understand my line of work very well..."

"No, I understand it quite well. I've dated models before; they were very busy and very disciplined, especially regarding their figures—they had very high standards."

Because she had just been provoked by Qingkong, the female model had become extra sensitive to the word "figure."

Now, having heard Jiang Mobai's assessment...

She felt very uncomfortable.

But fearing she might be overthinking it, the female model decided to ask for clarification: "Do you think... my figure is not good?"

"Hmm, it certainly doesn't count as excellent."

Jiang Mobai's blunt answer caused the female model's emotions to collapse instantly.

She just couldn't understand how the figure she was so proud of could be looked down upon by these men.

Or could it be...

That her figure was really that terrible?

But even if it were terrible, there was no need to say it so bluntly!

Did she not have any face to save!!

The more the female model thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, until finally, her mouth twisted, and she burst into loud sobs!

Hearing the crying, Su Kexuan hurried over.

She was just about to ask what had happened when she heard the female model shouting at Jiang Mobai: "You are just too much!"

The female model ran off after shouting.

It left Jiang Mobai stunned.

And the scene unfolding before her made Su Kexuan's temples throb.

Without needing to guess, she knew Jiang Mobai must have offended the woman.

She already had a headache because of one Qingkong.

Now here came Jiang Mobai...

Could this job even be done anymore!!

Su Kexuan's already meager patience vanished completely at this moment.

She even reprimanded the culprit: "This is our workplace, what are you doing here!?"

Seeing this, the person in charge hurried to smooth things over: "I invited Mr. Jiang here, and what just happened has nothing to do with him. That little girl just has a weak capacity to handle stress; she'll be fine in a moment!"

"No matter what, he was the one who made her cry! Then, he should be the one to go coax her back!"

Jiang Mobai already felt the whole thing was inexplicable.

And now, he was being told to go coax someone without any regard for right or wrong?

Jiang Mobai's dignity made him refuse immediately: "I'm not going!"

"What right do you have not to go? Aren't you very good at coaxing women!"

"That depends on whether I'm willing to!"

"So, you are still as willful as ever!"

The look in Su Kexuan's eyes as she watched Jiang Mobai was filled with disappointment.

That look stung Jiang Mobai's heart.

However, if Jiang Mobai could have been a little calmer, he would have known that this was not the time to be pedantic.

Taking a step back would have been good for both him and Su Kexuan.

But both of them were in the heat of the moment.

Especially Jiang Mobai; he didn't want to apologize for no reason, so he met her head-on and questioned: "As long as there's a problem, it's my fault, right?"

"Are you saying you aren't at fault?"

"I'm not at fault; she was the one actively flirting with me!"

"You have always had a 'reputation,' isn't it normal for her to want to associate with you!?"

Su Kexuan's words caused Jiang Mobai to show an expression of disbelief.

He took one more deep look at Su Kexuan, then, without saying another word, he turned and left.

Watching Jiang Mobai's retreating figure, Su Kexuan's tightly wound nerves finally relaxed slightly.

Then, she slowly realized what she had said...

She felt her own performance had been terrible.

Qingkong also said: "What you just said was a bit too much."

Although Su Kexuan felt regret in her heart, she did not show it.

She even retorted: "He affected my work, so wasn't that too much?"

"But you could have used a different way to remind him."

"I don't have that much patience."

"That's strange. You're usually a very patient person, so why have you lost patience with Jiang Mobai? Could it be that..."

Qingkong wanted to continue speculating.

But his peripheral vision caught Su Kexuan's eyes, which contained a hidden warning.

That look made Qingkong immediately change his tune: "Fine, fine, fine, no more gossip, I'm going to work."

"What work is there left to do? The person has already been scared off!"

The person in charge had been silently observing the situation on set.

At this moment, he hurriedly interjected: "I'll go bring her back! Sigh, it's all her fault this time; she had delusions of grandeur and didn't even bother to look in a mirror!"

The person in charge said this just to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But after hearing this, Su Kexuan couldn't help but clench her palms.

Very quickly, the female model was persuaded back by the person in charge.

However, her eyes were swollen from crying.

The makeup artist had no choice but to handle it urgently.

Seeing that things were slowly getting back on track, Su Kexuan wanted to use an indifferent expression to cover herself up.

This was just a small matter.

It wouldn't be able to stump Su Kexuan at all.

But at this moment, she... felt inexplicably irritable.

She didn't want to stay any longer either, so she found an excuse and left first.

However, when Su Kexuan walked to the parking lot, she discovered someone standing next to her car.

Once she saw clearly who that person was...

Su Kexuan's expression darkened a few degrees more.

She had no intention of speaking to that person; she walked over, opened the car door, and was about to sit inside.

But Jiang Mobai pushed the car door shut with one hand.

This made Su Kexuan frown, and she questioned: "Are you looking for a beating!"

Jiang Mobai wasn't afraid at all; he even puffed out his chest without backing down: "Go ahead and hit me, it would be best if you hit me into the Hospital!"

"You... you really are a scoundrel!"

"I'm not a scoundrel, I just want to ask you a question."

After speaking, Jiang Mobai stared intently into Su Kexuan's eyes and asked: "Why are you so gentle with everyone else, but treat me with cold hostility?"

"If you hadn't appeared in a place where you shouldn't have, would I treat you like this?"

"I came to talk about a collaboration with that person in charge, why shouldn't I have appeared?"

Talk about a collaboration?

This excuse was truly too ridiculous.

But Su Kexuan knew that the person in charge would certainly be very happy to cooperate with Jiang Mobai in telling this lie.

So even if Su Kexuan went to investigate, the result she got would still be favorable to Jiang Mobai.

Su Kexuan didn't want to waste time.

She wasn't interested in what the truth was either, and only said: "So you think I should apologize to you?"

"That's right!"

"Then Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, can you move aside now!"

This wasn't an apology from Su Kexuan; it was more like venting her anger.

Jiang Mobai frowned tightly, then asked: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you in such a bad temper?"

Su Kexuan also felt that her emotions today were not quite normal.

But she did not answer.

Instead, she reached out and forcefully pushed Jiang Mobai away, then sat into the car.
