After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 478 - 473: A Foolish Love Rival?
Chapter 478: Chapter 473: A Foolish Love Rival?
As one of the financial backers, Mu Jinchen’s visit to the set wasn’t really surprising, after all, he had once been an entertainer and sort of friends with a few people in the entertainment industry.
Putting aside his identity as a president, it was only natural for him to visit a friend on set.
However...
Chu Jinghe was still recuperating, seemingly.
As her boyfriend, leaving his girlfriend behind to visit the set of an artist from his company did seem a bit odd.
Mu Jinchen hadn’t thought too much about it. He had resisted the urge for a whole day but couldn’t hold back anymore. Using Shi Lian’s set visit as an excuse, he also wanted to catch a glimpse of Shen Yan.
Ever since Chu Jing made that move and her image in his eyes began to crumble severely, he found himself appreciating Shen Yan’s better qualities more and more.
Even though Shen Yan had given him a beating, he still yearned to see her.
That beating only made him want to get closer to Shen Yan.
As he walked over, everyone was respectfully greeting him as their financial backer. He felt a sense of superiority in status.
A faint smile hung on his face as he ascended the stairs and then saw a tall man standing at the C position looking into the cafeteria.
Qi Si’s presence was hard to ignore, and Mu Jinchen noticed him right away.
He was thinking whether this man might be a new artist signed by some company, when the live broadcast inside abruptly ended.
Shen Yan spoke a few sentences with everyone and quickly walked out. Mu Jinchen, who was standing on the other side of Qi Si, witnessed how Shen Yan greeted him with a radiant smile, causing his heart to pound wildly!
"Shen..."
He was just about to speak when he saw Shen Yan walking straight toward the man beside him, at which Mu Jinchen stiffened in an instant!
This time, Qi Si didn’t avoid anyone and even stepped into the frame. Shen Yan vaguely understood his intention, so she didn’t deliberately conceal anything in front of everyone.
"Mr. Qi, I’ve spoken with the production team, let’s dine together. It’s just that the dishes here might not suit your taste..." Shen Yan intertwined her hand with his naturally, and the two appeared very affectionate.
It attracted glances from everyone around.
Qi Si toned down the chill in his demeanor yet still managed to seem unapproachable, so no one dared to act freely in his presence.
Throughout the process, nobody dared to whimsically take out their phones to snap photos.
As for dining with Shen Yan, Qi Si was more than willing, and he wasn’t picky about food.
"I’m fine with anything."
"Then let’s go in!" Shen Yan’s smile grew even deeper!
Qi Si followed Shen Yan into the temporary cafeteria set up by the production crew. He nodded slightly towards Director Lu and the others: "Sorry to disturb."
Director Lu stared at Qi Si for a good while, insisting, "Not a disturbance at all!"
The others had no objections either.
They merely felt that having someone as distinguished as Qi Si dine there was somewhat honoring them!
It wasn’t until they both sat down that someone noticed Mu Jinchen, who had been overlooked: "President Mu, have you eaten yet? Would you like to join us?"
The assistant director approached Mu Jinchen with a smile.
This person in front of them was a financial backer after all, and they couldn’t afford to offend him!
Mu Jinchen stared intently at the two sitting opposite each other inside, his eyes flickered with barely concealed hostility.
Shen Yan and Qi Si completely ignored his existence, as if he hadn’t been present at all before.
"President Mu, please sit over here," as Mu Jinchen tried to seat himself next to Shen Yan and the others, the assistant director pulled him to another side with a smile.
It wasn’t until he heard this that Shen Yan casually glanced over.
She looked at Mu Jinchen as if he were a stranger.
Qi Si was watching Shen Yan and felt relieved to see she didn’t think much of Mu Jinchen.
Initially, Qi Si was worried Shen Yan might still harbor lingering feelings for Mu Jinchen.
Now, his only concern was other men nearing her, considering that Mu Jinchen was such a flawed person, Shen Yan definitely couldn’t think highly of him anymore.
Even if it involved caring for a male ’kept man’, Mu Jinchen didn’t stand a chance.
Shen Yan, of course, had no idea what the man dining with her was thinking. Seeing him hardly touching his food, she leaned towards him across the table and asked softly, "Does it not suit your taste?"
"No," Qi Si gave Shen Yan the tastiest part of the dish.
Shen Yan whispered again, "Let’s go out to eat again tonight."
Qi Si’s eyes softened, "Okay."
Seeing the two of them conversing intimately, the others tactfully looked away.
Only Mu Jincheng kept staring at their every move.
Shi Lian, sitting on the other side, bit her lip and hesitated. Seeing her boss being foolish, she decided to contact her own agent to discuss leaving Chenfeng Media.
With the way Mu Jincheng was acting foolishly now, she felt his time was very limited.
And in such limited time, she must find the next company.
Even if it meant paying a huge penalty for breach of contract, she had to jump ship!
Now, Shi Lian didn’t dare to harbor any illusion about anything relating to Shen Yan anymore, the farther away, the better.
Only a foolish man like Mu Jincheng would rush headlong towards his demise.
Shi Lian hid the emotions in her eyes while weighing something.

There was only half an hour for lunch break, and the netizens were all waiting for their live broadcast. Shen Yan hurried to join everyone under the camera, switching to a smile.
Qi Si stood on the outskirts, watching Shen Yan who was recording the program.
Mu Jincheng’s gaze occasionally drifted towards Qi Si with the others on the fringe.
No one else stood beside Qi Si, and though his cold aura was somewhat restrained, others still didn’t dare to approach him easily.
Even Mu Jincheng felt somewhat intimidated in the presence of such a man, and the oppressive feeling made Mu Jincheng very uncomfortable.
The aura of the man in front of him was very different when he was with Shen Yan.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Yan’s importance in this man’s eyes was even more highlighted.
Mu Jincheng racked his brains over and over and still couldn’t recall anyone from Shen City.
Mu Jincheng wanted to ask someone nearby, but out of concern for his face, he didn’t speak. Instead, after they continued on their route to find the traitor and he saw Qi Si following, he didn’t know what got into him. He stepped in front of Qi Si.
Qi Si looked coldly at his former rival.
Under Qi Si’s gaze, Mu Jincheng’s skin involuntarily tightened, and his posture stiffened as he extended his hand.
"I am Mu Jincheng, may I ask how to address you?"
Mu Jincheng’s tone was not friendly, as his eyes held a hint of hostility towards Qi Si.
Qi Si didn’t respond, continuing to stare at him coldly.
Mu Jincheng’s brow furrowed uncomfortably, "What’s your relationship with Shen Yan? Why haven’t I heard her mention you before? She said she entered the entertainment industry for me..."
"Yanyan is my lover."
Qi Si tossed out this line coldly, walked past the stunned Mu Jincheng, and continued after Shen Yan, not paying Mu Jincheng the slightest bit of attention, not even wanting to say an extra word.
It was a while before Mu Jincheng managed to reluctantly move, turning to look in the direction that was now empty.
What did that man mean?
Shen Yan is his lover?
Is it the kind of meaning he was thinking of?
Impossible, he had heard no word of Shen Yan getting married!
No, boyfriends and girlfriends can also refer to each other as lovers; that man must have said it deliberately, to mislead.
Mu Jincheng saw a staff member carrying things walking by and quickly grabbed the person, asking with an ugly expression, "Who is the man following Shen Yan?"
The staff member, realizing it was Mu Jincheng holding him, answered honestly, "I heard Teacher Shen say he’s a family member, I heard Teacher Shen call him Mr. Qi. President Mu, is there anything else you need? They urgently require game props over there, I need to rush over."
Mu Jincheng let go of the person in a daze, and after a while, he stiffly took out his smartphone wanting to check something. Something flashed through his mind, leaving him completely frozen on the spot, his face ashen!
The Qi surname!
With such demeanor, and the Qi surname, there could be only one person...
The formidable figure at the helm of the Shencheng Qi Group!
