Chapter 145: Join team dinner

"You know it’s up to me if I would attempt to free a room for you away from me. Yang Mingshen is filthy rich~"

Mingshen wickedly laughed as he followed Jia who was just heading out to have a peaceful dinner. But as if a curse struck her, he refused to leave her alone and in joy.

She pressed the button of the lift so hard as if she would break it.

"Such violence against the poor lift button," he clicked his tongue.

Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

Jia chanted like a mantra.

The lift opened with two people already inside. Jia recognized them as the cast of the Whisper of the Heart. Chow Mey was one of the leading actresses and Dong Haoyu was the lead actor.

The two looked up at the same time and were left dumbstruck at Mingshen’s sight. His presence alone had simply filled up the space.

They entered the lift and the door closed behind them. Silence filled the space. The actor’s glitter in Chow Mey’s aura was evident as Jia observed her. Her company, Dong Haoyu, was almost as tall as Mingshen and muscular for any woman to drool upon.

Chow Mey asked after a while, glancing at Mingshen, "Are you a model?"

Don’t feed his narcissism please, Jia thought with all her energy drained.

Mingshen mysteriously smiled. "Why don’t you guess my occupation?"

"You are definitely a model. Your face screams of this line of work only. But I haven’t seen you anywhere."

"I work at a very special place."

Dong Haoyu asked, "Which entertainment agency might be that special?"

Mingshen chuckled and waved his hand at Jia. "She is my entertainment agency~"

Jia scowled.

They stared at her. "Which is the entertainment agency you work for? Is it Lumina? Or wait. Definitely Prism, right? They are quite aggressively poaching handsome artists these days."

She politely smiled. "Ignore him. We are not from any entertainment agency."

Chow Mey narrowed her eyes. "Very cautious of your association, aren’t you?"

What is so hard in not believing about it?

"I am serious."

Dong Haoyu noticed Mingshen staring quite intently at Chow Mey. A little discomforted with that gaze, he asked, "Any matter?"

Mingshen eyed him with interest. "You are together?"

He cleared his throat. The slight panic on Dong Haoyu’s face was evident. Chow Mey seemed calm.

"I just asked because your gaze at her looked odd."

The lift reached the floor of the hotel’s restaurant where dinner was served. The bell chimed and the doors opened.

Mingshen headed out first but not before saying to Chow Mey, "Your face doesn’t need more Botox injections. It was never needed in the first place."

Chow Mey froze hard. Her irises ever so slowly lifted to meet his devious glinting gaze.

He smiled. "Dr. Yang Mingshen. A pleasure to meet you."

—

Jia asked as they walked away. Her urgent whispers stressed her frustration. "Mingshen, why did you have to say that out loud?"

"What?"

"About the Botox injections, what else?"

"What did I say wrong about that? She has overdosed her face with injection holes she doesn’t need. I just simply commented on that~"

"You didn’t have to. She is an actress. It’s quite common in their industry to undergo cosmetic surgeries. It’s an assumed fact but it’s not blatantly pointed out."

Mingshen stopped and looked at her. "What will you do if you see a child holding a knife?"

"Obviously take it away from him."

"Why?"

"Because it could hurt him."

"That’s my job as a doctor to tell adult children like her to stop poking holes in their bodies where it’s not necessary," he sneered.

Jia paused. She agreed Mingshen was right.

"It’s harsh to comment on their struggles and decisions. They might not really want to do it."

"Then don’t do it."

"It’s only easy to say. The entertainment industry has its own norms."

"Norms are to be followed when they make sense, Spicy. No form of any surgery or treatment should be taken unless it’s an absolute requirement for your body. Unless not doing it would mean a serious disability or death. There is a difference between necessity and idiocy."

Her brow twitched.

He sneered in disdain. "That’s why I loathe the entertainment industry. More than half of them are not their authentic self at all. Do you understand how beautiful a human body is? It’s one of nature’s finest creations. It does everything we need. It cannot be anymore perfect, yet we want to keep tampering with it. I absolutely detest people who ruin their bodies. Beauty is how you look at yourself, not how the world looks at you. The world can go to hell."

From the corner of her eye, Jia saw the two they just met in the lift walking across to a private room on another end. As she expected, Chow Mey’s expression didn’t look so good.

Mingshen hit a sore nerve...

She pulled a chair and took a seat at one of the tables. Mingshen took the opposite seat.

"I will be having dinner here."

"I know~"

"So find another table for yourself."

"As neighbors in this hotel and also professional partners, how could you say this?" A look of ’hurt’ flashed in his eyes.

Jia gritted her teeth. "I will move in that case but no way I will be having you as my dinner company."

"Do you understand how many women would die for an evening like this?" He helplessly shook his head.

She sneered. "Please introduce me to these imaginary women you speak of one of these days."

Pressing for support on her stick, she abruptly got up, colliding into an incoming figure.

"Ah, I am so sorry!" She hastily apologized.

"You. So we did meet again."

She looked up to see Bai Caishen staring at her with surprise.

"Hey," Jia smiled and replied back.

Mingshen blinked twice and it occurred to him. "Ah. The actor Mom is so crazy about."

"She watches my drama?"

"Only for you."

"Is she here?"

"Nope."

"Then please extend my warm regards to her. Thank her for all her love and support," he smiled.

Bai Caishen looked down at Mingshen first and then at Jia. He figured they were on a date.

"I will take my leave."

Jia said, "Me too."

"You are taking leave from your own date?"

Jia choked hard. A hearty chuckle escaped Mingshen’s lips. "Yes, how rude indeed~ Spicy, how could you be this heartless?"

Spicy? Bai Caishen wondered questioningly.

Jia scorned. "Leaving a forced company is not heartless."

Bai Caishen’s brow raised in amusement.

People wouldn’t call a presence like his a forced company...

He thought for a moment and asked, "Would you two like to join my team for dinner?"

Now Mingshen arched his brow and Jia threw him a surprised look. "I thought it’s a private celebration for your drama."

He shrugged. "It’s not that serious. Just a casual celebration. The more the merrier. Shall we go?"
