Chapter 429: Chapter 322: The A-list Actress’ Plea for Help (Please Subscribe)

“Chu Mo, shall we go out for some fresh air?”

Unlike those heirs who exhausted all means to sit in the Family Head’s position, Li Hongda of the Jiangnan Li family, the sole inheritor, harbored the biggest dream of forming his own band and making a name for himself in the music industry by his own talent.

Thus, among these top young masters, he was an exception and one who drew resentment.

When the tall youth, over one meter ninety with long legs and a handsome face, greeted him, Chu Mo, also an outlier in this setting, placed the book he was holding back on the shelf behind him. He then gently rose to his feet and, after nodding decisively to Long Huanyu from the Long family, walked toward the room’s doorway.

Strolling through the magnificent hall, he noticed that it was bustling with maids and servants. Within his line of sight, he spotted at least twenty or thirty attractive maids standing respectfully and poised in the corners.

This was just the ground floor; one couldn’t even begin to guess the number of maids on the second floor or the higher floors.

...

The Long family’s villa was five stories high, with each floor occupying at least two thousand square meters—just the floor area alone was over ten thousand square meters!

Compared to Emperor’s Mansion Villa Number One, this place made it look minuscule.

As Chu Mo and Li Hongda walked shoulder to shoulder out of the hall, the brilliant sunlight outside seemed somewhat scorching, making Chu Mo in his formal attire feel rather uncomfortable.

The temperature in Xiangjiang was indeed high, prompting Chu Mo the sudden thought of purchasing a vacation villa here. When winter came to Magic Capital, he could escape the cold in Xiangjiang and return in the spring—a not so bad idea indeed.

“It’s really suffocating inside the house!”

Stepping out of the hall, Li Hongda took a deep breath, finding the courtyard filled with birdsong and flowers, and the air fresh.

Chu Mo’s gaze swept casually around, realizing that countless bodyguards were hidden, their presence far more exaggerated than at the last top scientist debate at Normal University in Magic Capital.

He didn’t see Fang Lihu and the others, who must have been arranged to rest somewhere else!

Taking steps forward, he wandered with the great young master Li in the vast and beautiful courtyard. With their status, they had unfettered access, and though bodyguards were everywhere, no one questioned them.

“Does Mr. Chu think that stars deserve to be treated less than human, doomed to become mere playthings?”

Li Hongda was clearly emotional, his eyes somewhat melancholy, exuding a sense of heartfelt reflection.

The two meandered to the edge of a pond. There was a pavilion and a bridge, with various prized koi fish for admiration, and flowers in full bloom—truly a pastoral scene.

Chu Mo glanced at the fellow master next to him with some surprise, hesitated a moment, then curiously asked,

“Why do you say that, Young Master Li?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that I saw Liu Mingfei and Long Huanyu casually decide the future of a female celebrity… I find it quite regrettable. Deng Yun’er sings beautifully; I’m also a fan of her music!”

Hearing this, Chu Mo seemed to grasp something and tentatively said,

“Prince Long knows that Deng Yun’er? If so, just greet him later; surely the great young master Liu from Zhongzhou will give you that much face, won’t he?”

Li Hongda just shook his head slightly, his gaze deep as he watched the swimming fish in the pond, his voice tinged with a touch of sadness,

“It’s not a question of knowing her. We shared the stage at a music festival once. She thought I was just an ordinary singer and we only exchanged a few words. However, I know she’s a self-respecting girl. She’s been in the business for four years without any scandal, free from the messy things around her, a rare self-respecting and clean girl in the entertainment industry. As for stepping in…

I might save one Deng Yun’er, but I can’t save the thousands of Deng Yun’ers. Do you understand my meaning, Chu Mo?”

A smile unconsciously curved on Chu Mo’s lips; he never would have guessed that the heir of the Jiangnan Li family was such a romantic idealist.

If it were him facing such a situation, as long as he wanted to save someone, he would never hesitate like this. Simply following his heart would suffice.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo casually said,

“You’re worrying unnecessarily, Young Master Li. The world is so vast; are artists the only ones who face unfair treatment? Compared to sanitation workers who go out early and come back late, earning only a thousand or two thousand RMB a month, do those celebrities who can earn millions or even tens of millions from a single concert truly need our sympathy?

You wouldn’t forbid everyone in the world from disrespecting artists just because you want to be a singer, would you?

In my opinion, there’s no need for that. Just follow your heart. We can’t solve the far-off issues, but surely there’s a solution for the matters at hand, right?”

Chu Mo didn’t intend to be a life coach. The reason he was willing to engage more with Li Hongda was solely because he felt that Li was different from the other top heirs in the house, someone who could be befriended. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother wasting his breath.

With melancholic eyes, if he were to gaze up into the sky at a 45-degree angle, he would certainly attract the adoration of young girls. Li Hongda took a deep breath as his expression gradually returned to calm and said:

“I like music, and I hope that others won’t interfere with my life. Mr. Chu surely doesn’t know, my dad and I made an agreement. Before I turn thirty, I will be myself; after thirty, I will become the successor of the Li family.

However, before I turn thirty, I am not allowed to use any power of the family. If I ever use my family connections, the agreement is void…”

“But, as Mr. Chu said, everyone has their own life. Even celebrities shouldn’t be treated specially. I don’t want others to interfere with my life, so I have no right to interfere with anyone else’s!”

Li Hongda gently bent forward and reached out to disturb the clear lake water with his hand. The ripples attracted red koi, a little fish swimming by his side!

This scene would certainly cause any lovestruck girl to scream with excitement.

Chu Mo had no mood for these melancholic games with Li Hongda as he suddenly felt an intense gaze on his back, swiftly turned, and instantly saw a familiar figure.

The last time at the entrance of Prince Gong’s Mansion in the Capital City, he saw Li Hongda’s personal chauffeur.

This was also a man who imposed a great sense of pressure on Chu Mo, the third powerful being he had encountered who could stand up to Jiang Tao.

Chu Mo turned around and saw the middle-aged man standing about a dozen meters away at the intersection, looking over in this direction. As Chu Mo met his gaze, the man even nodded at Chu Mo casually before his figure vanished from the intersection with a swift movement.

This was a competent professional bodyguard.

No sooner had this thought flashed through his mind than he saw Fan Gao’s tall figure strolling towards this side from the opposite intersection!

Chu Mo’s lips curved into a slight smile. He ignored the Li family scion behind him and strode toward Fan Gao.

“Mr. Chu, it’s truly a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers here!”

Fan Gao’s rough voice sounded, and Chu Mo felt invigorated. He raised his eyebrows slightly as he walked shoulder to shoulder with the tall man towards the intersection ahead and said:

“Besides the Li family’s bodyguard, are there many other experts here?”

The man, standing at a full 1.9 meters like Chu Mo but unlike the melancholic Li Hongda, exuded a subtle pressure all over. He walked half a step behind Chu Mo and then said earnestly:

“Just from my observation, there are at least more than ten grandmasters in this estate!

Plus, there are two foreigners, and even I would not be confident against them!”

Chu Mo’s lips curled slightly. He wasn’t surprised. After all, the estate was gathering heads of the eight great families of Hua Country and many other dignitaries like the King and Prince of the Sartor Kingdom. It wasn’t strange that the estate had a dozen experts like Jiang Tao and Fan Gao!

The two men walked back along the path they had come. Just as they turned the corner, a soft voice suddenly reached their ears:

“Mr. Chu…!”

Stopping in his tracks and looking in the direction of the voice, he saw an extremely beautiful woman with a pair of starry eyes looking anxiously at him from beside the flower bed at the opposite intersection. And next to the woman, Long Huanyu, the young master of Long family from Zhongzhou, and Liu Mingfei, the young master of Liu family, were surrounding her with smiles on their faces!

Deng Yun’er, the A-list actress from Tianhua Entertainment!

Clearly, she was already entangled by the two top-tier young masters and couldn’t escape.

Chu Mo’s steps paused only for a moment. Just as he planned to move away, the woman with the exquisite makeup and long hair ran up to Chu Mo’s side. She suddenly took his arm and whispered in his ear:

“Mr. Chu, save me…!”

And at that moment, Chu Mo saw the two top-tier young masters across the way approaching with indifferent faces.

Taking a slow breath, he could clearly feel the trembling body of the woman beside him.

There was no time for him to contemplate a strategy. He had to make a decision at this instant!

Either to shake off Deng Yun’er’s arm and push her back to the two top-tier young masters,

Or to hold tight to Deng Yun’er’s hand and become the strong backbone she needed.

To follow one’s heart is easy to say, but when it comes to making a choice, even Chu Mo felt an immense headache.

But, he had no third option.
