Chapter 97 - : Ferdinand
Chapter 97: Ferdinand
When Xiao Yuan was sure that Ah Si was out of sight, he hurriedly kicked the thing out from under his feet. The pink ball of fluff was now covered in dust. Xiao Yuan leaned closer to take a look and his pupils were shaking nonstop. Because this was a student ID!
And the picture and name on the ID was someone he knew. It was Mo Li!
Xiao Yuan’s heart started to race as many thoughts entered his mind. He was reminded of the door that he was barred from and the horrible smell that wafted out from it. Could the girl have offended Quan Yu and is being punished for it? But from the way Quan Yu has been treating Mo Li, things wouldn’t be that simple.
Xiao Yuan wanted to know what was happening, but he was not going to get past Ah Si…
“I’ll have Ah Si drive you home, when I have the chance, I’ll explain the rest of the situation to you.” Xiao Yuan suddenly heard this familiar voice. He peeked out from the corner. He sighed in relief when he saw Mo Li stand there unharmed. However… Quan Yu’s face was dark like something bad had happened.
Mo Li did not stay and hurriedly said goodbye to Quan Yu. After all, it was getting late, if she didn’t hurry home, her grandparents would worry about her.
As she exited the hospital, Mo Li ran into Nie Li who was waiting for her. When Nie Li saw Mo Li, she smiled and ushered Mo Li into her car.
…
Back at the hospital’s office, Lu Xuan’s computer showed Sacred Heart’s website. He picked up the coroner’s report done by Mo Li and stared confusedly at the website. He heaved a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask, Is this really possible?
…
After that, life went back to normal for Mo Li. Two things occupied her time. One was Mo Zheng, and the others were the small commercials Nie Li arranged for her.
“Just be quiet when you’re there. This jewelry endorsement doesn’t come easily.” Nie Li helped Mo Li adjust her skirt. Mo Li couldn’t count the number of time Nie Lie had suddenly shown up at her school gate and drove her to strange places for commercials and shoots.
Mo Li took several deep breaths. Since she had promised Nie Li that she would help Mo Zheng fulfill his end of the contract before he recovered, then Mo Li would do exactly that. Besides, Nie Li did help her. With the footage from the surveillance cameras, the truth behind the car accident would be revealed soon.
Nie Li brought Mo Li to the set. To Mo Li’s surprise, there were no usual reporters and crew members. “This is Miss Mo Li, she comes with Director Zhang’s recommendation.”
A man was slumped on the couch. He looked lazy. He only lifted his head when he heard Nie Li.
It’s him! Mo Li didn’t expect to run into another important character from the book. Ferdinand should be 28 years old and he was a top jewelry designer in Spain. Not only that, he was also the largest shareholder of the global fashion brand FM!
He was often voted the most influential people under 30. He was a mix of 3 heritages so he was incredibly handsome and his figure was well-proportioned.
He was serious about his job. He befriended Mo Zheng through one of their collaborations.
But most importantly, in the later part of the book, Ferdinand would get to know Qiao Qing from Mo Zheng. He would jumpstart her career. Moreover, he would be fed a lot of negative impression about Mo Li from Mo Zheng and Qiao Qing. He had a hand in the original Mo Li’s downfall.
At this moment, Ferdinand assessed the girl who stood before him. Her face was expressionless. Normally a girl her age would be excited meeting someone like him but not Mo Li.
Seeing how aloof she was, Ferdinand had a feeling the girl didn’t have a good impression of him.
She looked calm and stood there elegantly. She was not nervous or embarrassed. She was not servile or arrogant. From her appearance, posture and mannerism, Ferdinand confirmed that Mo Li had a good upbringing and excellent education. After all, her charm and bearing couldn’t be nurtured in a normal family.
His hands reached involuntarily towards the camera. What he saw through the lens shocked him. The entertainment industry was not lacking in beautiful faces but there was not many beauties like Mo Li who was perfectly photogenic!
Mo Li’s beauty did not feel handmade, which couldn’t be said for many others in the industry.
“So, I wasn’t lying, was I? The girl is not worse than Jiang Yan!”[1]
Ferdinand studied Mo Li further and commented, “Yes, they do have similar bone structure.” At that moment, he already decided that Mo Li would be his model for his next jewelry line.
Mo Li only felt uncomfortable being stared by the man before her. That flickering smile on his face made her skin rise with goosebumps.
