Chapter 53 - Rumor About President Lu Xun
Liu Yu Sheng looked at the person in front of her and frowned when she noticed her friend's unhappy face. "Xing Xing, let's go back to the studio, alright?"
Song Xing Xing nodded and turned to head upstairs to their studio. However, before she could take another step, someone tugged at her arms, forcing her to stop. Turning around, Song Xing Xing saw that Bai Zhi was biting her lips as she looked at her. The woman was looking back at her with a pair of pitiful eyes.
"Xing Xing, are you still angry?" Bai Zhi spoke. Her eyes darted around before she looked at Song Xing Xing again. "Sorry. Xing Xing, about that day, I will apologize to you again, alright?" Tears started to pool in her eyes. "I really didn't mean it. It was all a misunderstanding."
A few people seemed to notice a drama and decided to watch this scene. Song Xing Xing's mood plummeted, knowing what this former friend was trying to do.
Why didn't she notice that Bai Zhi was this kind of person?
Or perhaps she did realize that Bai Zhi was this kind of person. It was just that, she could still tolerate Bai Zhi as she had never harmed her before.
Song Xing Xing lowered her head. "Alright. I know. I'm not angry at you."
Bai Zhi's expression turned bright. "Really?"
"Un. Really."
She was no longer angry at what Bai Zhi had done. At this time, she no longer cared about Bai Zhi. Why would she want to waste her energy by getting angry at someone who was not related or important to her? Song Xing Xing only hoped that Bai Zhi would stop pestering her.
"Xing Xing, are you working here?" Bai Zhi asked. "That's right. I seemed to remember that you have mentioned getting a new job. I did not expect that you would be working at NEXT Bright studio."
The moment Bai Zhi mentioned her work, Song Xing Xing was able to guess at what this conversation was heading to. Knowing Bai Zhi, Song Xing Xing was sure that she wanted to use her again. She guessed that Bai Zhi was going to ask to help her with her audition.
Her hand clenched into a fist as she controlled her anger. However, she did not show her mood on her face.
Bai Zhi opened her mouth to speak but this time, Song Xing Xing interrupted her before she could start. "Sorry, Bai Zhi, but I really have to go. It's still working hours. If I don't show up at the studio, my boss would be angry and I might lose my job."
Bai Zhi started to panic. "Then, you go ahead and head upstairs." She forced a smile and tugged at Song Xing Xing's arms. "Xing Xing, when will you clock off work? How about I wait for you and we can grab some coffee and catch up, alright?"
"Let's do it next time. You know my work well. My working hours aren't like everyone else."
Bai Zhi showed an embarrassed expression.
Before she could speak more, Song Xing Xing turned around and headed upstairs with Liu Yu Sheng at her side.
Once they arrived in the studio, Song Xing Xing took a deep breath to calm down.
"Are you alright?"
Song Xing Xing turned to Liu Yu Sheng and forced a smile. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about this. I'll be fine as long as I can avoid her."
Liu Yu Sheng heaved a sigh. The last time she had worked with Song Xing Xing at the previous company, she had often ran into Bai Zhi as well. She had never liked that woman and did not understand how Song Xing Xing could bear to be with someone like Bai Zhi.
She did not know what had happened between the two, but Liu Yu Sheng was glad that Song Xing Xing was not as close as she was with Bai Zhi. From their conversation, Liu Yu Sheng was able to tell that the two girls were not as close as they used to. She was actually relieved to see this.
Song Xing Xing walked over to her desk to check on the transfer progress. Seeing that the file was progress was completed, she slid back into her chair and started to do her job. At least, this will help her to keep her mind off some things.
In the end, Song Xing Xing was glued in front of the computer until it was time to clock off. If it was not for Liu Yu Sheng, she would not even realize that it was time to go home.
As they went down the stairs, the audition was still going on.
Song Xing Xing looked at the line and thought that the audition should end soon. Her eyes shifted towards the audition room and she wondered if Lu Xun had left the place.
After thinking about it for a while, Song Xing Xing decided to go out through the back door.
She was wanted to check if Lu Xun would still be around at this time and avoid running into Bai Zhi at the same time.
Her heart grew excited when she saw that Lu Xun's Maserati was still parked at the usual place. As she was still weighing her decision to wait for Lu Xun, Song Xing Xing heard a commotion going on inside.
Song Xing Xing peeked her head into the building and saw a woman was dragged away by the security. Curious at what was going on, she went back into the building and overheard the other's conversation.
"What's going on? Why was that person dragged out of the room? They even let the guards drag her out? Isn't it too much?"
"I heard that the woman was trying to hit on President Lu Xun to get that role. Haven't you heard? President Lu Xun especially despised anyone who pulled such a trick."
"Now that you mentioned it, President Lu Xun has been involved in a lot of scandals. Pretty models, actresses, heiresses. When did he ever return to their feelings? You see, every time a rumor between a girl and President Lu Xun started, it would die within a few hours. Some said that President Lu Xun despised a woman who would take the initiative to pursue him and there is also a rumor that said that President Lu Xun isn't interested in a woman."
Song Xing Xing froze the moment she continued to listen to the two women's conversation.
Her heart dropped. Song Xing Xing did not know what she should do right now.
Suddenly, she wondered if it would be a good idea to continue with her plan.
