Contract Lover - L.K Adaptation

85

Chapter 85 - Conscience ("every word of yours
hurts like a dagger. I don't feel that you have a
conscience.") (1)

The charity ball ended smoothly, Xu Lisa
happened to walk past Jiang ChenXi on her way
out and she greeted him naturally. Without Jiang Taehyung's introduction, Xu Lisa felt that she had
left Jiang ChenXi with a decent impression. Jiang Taehyung even told her to be well prepared for the
audition and try to get the Best New Actress award.

After the event was over, Xu Lisa got back inside
her nanny van and opened up Weibo. That's when
she noticed that news about the red-carpet event had already taken over half the Weibo.

All the account owners had amazing photo editing
speed.

On the topic list, the most trended one was titled
"Three Film empresses in the Same Frame, New
Actress Xu Lisa Looked Like a Fairy, who was the
Winner of Tonight's Red-Carpet event".

From the start of the article there was a series of
high definition pictures of all of the actresses, in
order of popularity. One could immediately see all the actresses' outfits and make over.

Xu Lisa was listed closer toward the end. Xiao Rose scanned down the list and was still able to
quickly locate her. "Lisa-jie, look. Boat load of
actresses, all of them beautiful, but you were the one
who stood out the most! I could spot you right away.
Then, looking at the other, tsk tsk tsk, all meh."

Xu Lisa's thought was still on Mu Jungkook. She
merely mumbled an acknowledgement and didn't pay
Xiao Rose too much attention.

Xiao Rose studied her look and could tell there Xu Lisa had something on her mind. She slowed down
purposefully and said, "Let me read this to you. It
says here that, Xu Lisa, how had been up on the
most trended list a lot as of late, has also attended the
red-carpet event. Her Tianna Chou spring-summer
series short dress was very well received. Her
pendant earrings and necklace from Brand B's
Whisper Series gave her an unearthly feel. She
had thoroughly demonstrated to us the charm of
Brand B's #1 spokesperson. In front of the red
carpet, she was in the same picture as the three film
empresses, including Chen Minyoung, and had attracted a lot of discussions. Judging from the pictures from the event, the three film empresses were already the age of an older sister. In comparison, the new girl and the collagen on her cheeks were simply better."

Xiao Rose skimmed over the article quickly and
finally gave her summary on it.

"Blah blah blah, after that it was all about your
scandal with Jiang Taehyung a while back and then
being seen together today. Look at this, Lisa-jie.
This article mentioned more about you than all three
of obsolete film empresses. I think your audition for 'Plainness' would be a sure in."

Seeing that Xu Lisa still didn't look too happy, Xiao Rose added, "It says here that from third tier all the
way to first tier, let it be the pictures taken on site or
the ones that had been edited, they all looked fake.
except for yours, your on-site pictures looked even
better than the edited ones. They all said you looked
like a fairy who could stir up a breeze when you
walked. And, Tianna had reposted your pictures too.
She even said that you've helped her re-experienced
the feeling of youth and heartthrob when she was a young designer...." Xiao Rose went on excitedly for
while but still couldn't move Xu Lisa.

She finally couldn't help but asked, "Lisa-jie, what
you thinking about? You seem so distracted."

"Oh?" Xu Lisa paused for a little before she
looked away from the window.

The truth was, she was thinking about the original
novel. She had no recollection on the name Feng Namjoon. As far as the original novel was concerned, all she could think of was the romantic scenes of breaking up and getting back together between Qin Suho and Liang Yeri.

As for Mu Jungkook, his role was that of a 'functional villain'. He created obstacles between the otherwise uneventful relationship between the male and female leads and finally contrasted the happiness between them with his own tragic end.

But how was he able to get back onto his feet? And
why did he end up in jail?

And what kind of a role did Feng Namjoon play in all these?

She had no idea whatsoever.
