Chapter 781: I’ll remember this name
Xu Cheng walked out through the airport security wearing a windbreaker that hid part of his appearance.
He listened to the music playing from his earphones to ease the murderous aura from this trip.
In order to not attract too much attention, he exited through the VIP lane.
However, this appearance made another group feel scared.
It was a group of four people.
A youthful woman, even with sunglasses on, could be defined as beautiful based on her figure.
She was accompanied by an assistant, a manager, and a relatively stout bodyguard.
Seeing that she was all covered up taking the VIP passage in the capital of Yanjing, Xu Cheng guessed that she was probably a celebrity.
Xu Cheng walked slowly and didn’t feel anything wrong, but the bodyguard blocked his way at the corner.
“Damn paparazzi, which company are you from? I’ll beat you up if you follow us any longer! I warn you, hurry up and get out. Do not reveal our whereabouts. Otherwise no matter which company you’re from, I can get you fired.”
Xu Cheng was listening to his music, and with his hearing, he could actually hear the bodyguard’s voice, but he pretended to be deaf as he took off the earphones and said, “What are you barking at?”
The bodyguard saw that he still dared talk back, so he forced Xu Cheng to the corner. “I’m not kidding, if you follow our artist Mu Wan again, I will beat you up!”
Xu Cheng frowned. “You’ve got it all wrong, I’m not a paparazzi, I just got off the plane as well.”
The bodyguard: “Then why are you sneaking around dressed like this? What are you covering up? There were three forks in this passage, and I saw you follow us twice already. You still want to argue your way out?”
Xu Cheng was impatient. “Have you seen any paparazzi who’s able to take the VIP passage? Do you even have a little common sense up there? Besides, I don’t know Mu Wan, I only know Lin Chuxue. Don’t think that everyone in the world’s bored enough to revolve around your artist.”
Just as his words fell, Mu Wan and her assistant and manager walked over with a displeased look.
They all heard Xu Cheng’s disdainful words and came over to reveal this paparazzi, who was pretending not to be a stalker.
“With our Mu Wan’s fame today, which paparazzi wouldn’t go far to get news about her? Not to mention the VIP passage, it’s not unusual for you people to use all kinds of spy-like gadgets. So stop pretending and get out immediately. I won’t ask which newspaper you’re from but if you don’t get out now, I’ll call your boss to get you fired.”
“Idiots!” Xu Cheng rolled his eyes at these arrogant people and walked away by himself.
Mu Wan pulled down Xu Cheng’s hood from behind him, and suddenly, Xu Cheng’s pale ghost-like face was revealed in front of them all. All three women were scared, and the bodyguard blocked Mu Wan behind him.
Xu Cheng looked deeply at Mu Wan, and emitted a dangerous aura.
Mu Wan grunted and said carelessly, “If Lin Chuxue knew that her fans were so ugly, I wonder if she would dare to see you? You can scare people even in broad daylight with this look. I think it would be my misfortune for someone like you to like me.”
Obviously, she was angry to hear how Xu Cheng said ‘I don’t know Mu Wan, I only know Lin Chuxue.’ As a celebrity, the most hated thing to hear would be that someone else was better than they were. She was already very famous and it was okay to hear someone say they’ve never heard her name, but to compare her to someone who’s retired was unbearable.
Xu Cheng stared at her with some anger. “Did your boss ever tell you that the most basic thing for celebrities is to smile when you meet people? That’s minimum professional courtesy. If you don’t understand, then go back to the bottom and start over.”
Having said that, he intended to leave as he turned around.
Yet Mu Wan said back at him, “There is a saying: ‘talk to people and talk nonsense to ghosts.’ Sorry, but I can’t smile looking at your face. I can smile on stage to deceive those fans, but in private, I can’t smile at you from the bottom of my heart. It’s good enough if I don’t ask you to compensate me for mental damage.”
Xu Cheng’s body froze.
He turned his head and looked at Mu Wan with a meaningful glance as he said, “This is the biggest reason why I only know Lin Chuxue and not you. You’re famous with that low of an EQ?”
“Nonsense, our Mu Wan is no where weaker than Lin Chuxue was at her peak, and Mu Wan would be even higher right now than Lin Chuxue back then. Go understand the market before talking. No wonder you don’t know Mu Wan, look at your ugly face! You’re from Mars, right?” The assistant looked at Xu Cheng disdainfully.
Xu Cheng: “Mu Wan, right? I’ll remember this name.”
Having said that, Xu Cheng walked away without looking back.
The assistant: “Ugly people like to get attention. Our price tag is multiple times that of Lin Chuxue, and in terms of popularity, who knows who Lin Chuxue is now? What a joke, comparing us to a retired celebrity.”
The manager did not forget to flatter, “How else could they compare? Who’s got a higher price tag than Mu Wan right now? He knew that there’s no one who could compare to her, so he deliberately compared us with a retired celebrity. This just shows how Mu Wan’s popularity is unmatchable.”
Mu Wan laughed and walked with a breeze.
By the time they got outside, they realized that their convoy hadn’t arrived yet to pick her up, and that made Mu Wan angry.
“This driver doesn’t want to keep his job, right? Call him and ask where the hell he is.”
The assistant hurriedly took out her cell phone to call the driver, but then they heard the driver shout from across the street with the phone in his hand. “I’m over here!”
The assistant shouted back at him, “Are you telling us to go over and get in the car? Get your *ss over here, quick.”
The driver let out a bitter smile. “The airport personnel said that there’s a temporary clearance and are not allowing vehicles to park there and pick-up people. Please walk over here.”
Mu Wan snatched the phone and yelled at the driver, “The sun is so strong outside, and you’re asking me to walk over in this sunlight? Do you think I’m too nice? I’ll give you ten seconds, hurry up and come here.”
The driver had no choice; after all, it was his job.
The moment the car parked at the restricted area, armed police and airport security came over and yelled, “Can’t you read the signs? Are you blind? No parking here!”
When Mu Wan saw that it was the airport security, she immediately took off her sunglasses and showed her most pleasing smile. “Excuse me, I’m Mu Wan and this is my driver. Please understand.”
“I don’t care who you are, I’ll give you one second to clear this area. Hurry up or I’ll cancel your license plate.”
The driver was scared as he drove the car away immediately, not daring to stay.
That was when a red flag car came from behind.
The security immediately went over to open the door, and Old Master Ye’s assistant walked down. He smiled when he saw Xu Cheng walking out from the exit and greeted, “The Chief told me to come over and pick you up, Young Master Xu.”
“Okay.” Xu Cheng nodded as he got into the red flag car. Before he rolled up the window, he glanced at Mu Wan, who was looking dumbfounded.
