Chapter 30: Bad Woman Sheng Ning
“No… what exactly is this buddy’s background?”
Director Zhang watched Chi Ye’s departing back, full of admiration, and only now did he “dare” to speak loudly: “Too awesome.”
“……Too arrogant, this is a first-tier little flower.”
Chu Luan Yu’s eyes sparkled: “I want to do the same next time!”
“？！”
Director Zhang was utterly shocked.
What kind of divine being is this?!
“Fuck your horse!”
Shen Qing Yu felt the strange gazes around him, his face flushed red, and he sat back down in his seat.
Not sure if it was anger or excitement, his hands were trembling a bit, and after a while, he expressionlessly took out his mobile phone and called his agent.
Earlier the situation was stronger than people, but are Yue Na’s people that easy to bully?
Moreover, their team had already set the marketing for this Screaming Night, along with the planner targeting Chi Ye to abuse group fans and prevent explosions, but now with this sudden accident, Jin Xia this drama queen got involved, so they should inform the team.
Thug paired with dog, you two are so extreme, you’ll die sooner or later!
……
At the same time.
In the corridor covered with thick fur carpet, Chi Ye and his group walked quietly.
Jin Xia followed beside Chi Ye, her charming peach blossom eyes secretly glancing at Sister Mi ahead, then at Chi Ye in the arms, signaling with her eyes: Don’t expose it yet!
Chi Ye remained silent, Keke followed behind equally tight-lipped.
“You’re Teacher Chi’s little assistant, right?”
The Empress Dowager noticed Keke’s restraint and enthusiastically praised: “You’re great!”
Keke: “……Huh?”
I’m great where?
The Empress Dowager of course didn’t know either, just casually praising someone by Chi Ye’s side.
Yeah, she loves someone and extends it to those around them!
“Xia Xia.”
The group reached the end, the front hall was the lobby of the first lounge area, small in size but very luxurious.
At the moment, there weren’t many people here, just two big stars who had finished makeup and styling and had a good relationship, chatting idly.
Sister Mi stopped, glanced back at Chi Ye, and waved to Jin Xia: “Come with me for a bit.”
“Oh.”
Jin Xia nodded and followed casually.
“Chi Ge… she won’t get scolded, right…”
Keke didn’t dare breathe until the two walked around the corner—that scene earlier was really too scary.
She had long known about the various feuds and overt and covert fights in private in the entertainment industry, but something this intense, a first-tier little flower exploding on the spot, was the first time she’d seen it.
“Get scolded? Who?” Chi Ye was stunned: “You mean the agent?”
Keke: “?”
Chi Ye thought about the various one-sided understandings of the Empress Dowager nowadays, combined them, and shook his head: “Probably not, at most a couple of head knocks.”
Keke: “？？？”
……
“Xia Xia, there were too many people outside earlier, it was sister’s fault, like this, no one here, sister kneels to you.”
At the corner, Sister Mi had a mournful face, utterly dejected.
Jin Xia was startled: “Sister Mi, what are you doing!”
“As long as you stay away from that Chi Ye, I’ll kowtow to you however many times.”
Jin Xia: “……What exactly happened?”
“Grandma, you’re still asking me?!” Sister Mi was anxious: “Why are you meddling in other people’s ‘Yue Na family matters’?”
The Empress Dowager: “…”
A bit guilty, but quickly righteous: “Teacher Chi is someone I invited, if they don’t welcome Teacher Chi, they don’t welcome me!”
Sister Mi: “……Have you thought about whether Chi Ye needs your help? What’s his background, he’s Yue Na’s crown prince, my silly girl!”
Jin Xia thought carefully and shook her head: “To be honest, from my interactions with Teacher Chi… he’s not like what I heard before.”
Sister Mi was speechless: “How many days have you known him? Including Jian Ni, not even three days total, how are you so clever?”
A flash of doubt in Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes, but she said no more.
“Do you know you two are in a scandal now?”
Seeing this, Sister Mi continued: “CP super topic is out! Everyone in the industry is watching you become a joke, do you know?”
“Joking about me what? Do I need to care about their ideas?”
“……Sigh.” Sister Mi sighed: “What about your family? The popularity isn’t big now, but in a while, if your family finds out, do you think you can still film when you want, do variety shows when you want?”
The Empress Dowager frowned as she listened, not knowing how to retort.
She just turned her head away and said nothing.
“Forget it, you know everything, think about it yourself.”
Sister Mi said no more, she knew Jin Xia actually knew everything but just wouldn’t listen.
Yeah, main one is rebellious period delayed by ten years.
The two finished talking and walked out again.
“Teacher Chi, let’s go, I’ll take you to see my lounge!”
Jin Xia had returned to her lively and cute appearance, pulling Chi Ye toward her lounge.
When passing the two big stars in the lobby, she even stopped to greet them.
“Are you okay?”
Although the Empress Dowager hid it well, perhaps due to magnetic field compatibility, Chi Ye vaguely sensed that the carefree Empress Dowager seemed to have some worries.
“I’m fine.” Jin Xia looked up, her beautiful peach blossom eyes clear and bright.
After a pause, she carefully observed Chi Ye’s expression, leaned to his ear and whispered: “Teacher Chi, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Chi Ye was stunned.
Jin Xia waved: “Sheng Ning isn’t targeting you? Come on, we’ll play right in her face!”
Chi Ye: “Huh?”
Just as the two were talking, a bustling noise suddenly came from ahead.
Immediately after, a group of people walked out from a certain lounge.
A woman in her late twenties was surrounded in the center like the moon held by stars.
She wore a gorgeous gala custom dress, no extra accessories, but her presence was extraordinarily strong, her steps in high heels light and slow, but everyone watched her every move, and if she showed any discomfort, someone immediately went to support her.
“Bad woman!”
As soon as Jin Xia saw this woman, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Chi Ye rushing over thump thump thump.
“Hm?”
Sheng Ning turned her gaze, her starry sea-like brilliant eyes paused, immediately landing on Chi Ye, a flash of shock and dumbfoundedness in her eyes.
But it quickly turned to anger, she looked around, her voice pleasant yet laced with coldness: “Who let him in?!”
The people around were stunned, the assistant glared fiercely at Chi Ye, then bent down quickly to speak.
“I let him in!”
The Empress Dowager stood tall, her beauty not inferior to this top of the four little flowers, tone overbearing: “Teacher Chi is my friend, got a problem?”
Sheng Ning: “?”
Turned to look at Sister Mi beside the Empress Dowager: “Control your kid.”
Sister Mi: “?”
Her originally rational face instantly furious, hands on hips, mockery: “Kid? Who are you calling kid? Someone in her thirties, changing age to younger every day, I think you really want to be a kid.”
Sheng Ning: “？！”
“Yeah yeah.” Jin Xia happily added a finishing blow: “Wasn’t she on hot search a couple days ago? Our Sheng Ning ‘big sister’, changing encyclopedia for the Nth time, how old this time? Oh, 18! Now a post-00, post-00 born in 1900.”
Sheng Ning’s eyes narrowed in anger.
She was the oldest among the four little flowers, rose to fame late, so most criticized for her age.
“Post-00 is still better than a pretentious drama queen insider, what can you do besides relying on family connections? Throw coquettish clips begging for hugs? To whom?”
Her gaze fell on Chi Ye, disdain: “To him? Then you’re really desperate.”
“Hey, you two catfight, catfight, don’t drag me in.”
Chi Ye wasn’t happy, then turned to the Empress Dowager: “1900 is indeed too much, year 100 AD instead.”
“Haha… huh?”
The Empress Dowager was stunned, then greatly admired: “It was you, Teacher Chi!”
Turned to look at Sheng Ning, saying whatever was vicious: “Old hag, crow’s feet are showing!”
“？！”
“What are you looking at? Stupid…”
“Hey hey, no dirty words!”
Chi Ye hurriedly covered the Empress Dowager’s mouth.
How does this child learn everything!
Sheng Ning trembled with anger all over, coldly swept the two a glance, and turned to leave.
“Ning Jie, Ning Jie… where are you going?”
Sheng Ning shook off the hand in disgust: “Eyes are dirty, going back to wash.”
“Haha, broken, Teacher Chi, she’s broken!”
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, smug.
Sister Mi’s face also showed a smile.
Chi Ye at this moment looked at the two in surprise.
The Empress Dowager has this kind of “highlight moment”?
Truly rare.
And Sister Mi’s attitude…
Before, Sister Mi gave Chi Ye the feeling of a housekeeper role taking care of the Empress Dowager, rational and calm.
But just now… why did they clash right upon meeting?
These two…
Chi Ye suddenly remembered, among the four little flowers, the ones who most wanted the other dead were these two families.
True arch-enemies.
“Don’t worry, Teacher Chi.”
Jin Xia grabbed Chi Ye’s clothing corner, swearing confidently: “No need to fear her, with me here, Sheng Ning won’t do anything to you!”
Chi Ye: “……Yeah, I can tell.”
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, like a victorious general: “Let’s go, back to the room!”
……
On the other side.
Sheng Ning returned to the room, her seemingly angry face already calm, expressionless.
“Ning Jie, they went too far, Jin Xia is one thing, but what is Chi Ye? Used to ride your popularity, now not even salting, directly openly helping Jin Xia curse… us?!”
The assistant was indignant beside her.
Sheng Ning glanced faintly at her: “How did Chi Ye get in?”
Assistant: “…”
Silent as cicada in winter, face pale.
“Forget it.” Sheng Ning waved: “Tell old Zhang from the gala team, they give Jin Xia face, Chi Ye enters, fine, but no shots, got it?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go do it…” The assistant nodded first, then hesitated: “But Jin Xia’s side, I’m afraid she won’t be happy…”
“She won’t be happy? Who does she think she is? Whose home turf is this?!”
Sheng Ning’s presence fully unleashed: “A retard like that can be popular purely by family connections, but does she have connections? Bullshit!”
Everyone in the lounge fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
Ning Jie has her own capital, more connections, indeed qualified to say that.
Sheng Ning didn’t hide her contempt and disdain for Jin Xia: “She can only scare others, I don’t care how her family is outside, but in the industry, never heard of, tell Shen Qing Yu, no need to fear Jin Xia, she can’t protect Chi Ye.”
She paused, eyes sharp: “This face, I don’t want to give them today, what can they do?!”
“Okay, I understand.”
The assistant nodded, secretly observed Sheng Ning’s expression, saw her purse her lips, immediately served hot tea: “Ning Jie, temperature’s just right to drink.”
……
“Empress Dowager, you were a bit unladylike just now.”
“Dealing with bad women, sometimes no need for elegance!”
The Empress Dowager’s single lounge was luxuriously decorated, air conditioning temperature just right.
Jin Xia said righteously: “You don’t know her, Sheng Ning is extremely petty, jealous of talent, can’t stand others more popular than her, does all bad things!”
Chi Ye: “…”
“Forget it, no more about her.”
“Teacher Chi, what are you here for at Screaming Night this time?”
Jin Xia poured Chi Ye a cup of water, then felt unsatisfied, added a few freshly picked roses from this morning, nodded in satisfaction: “Yeah, now it’s pretty.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Indeed a “plant killer”.
“There’s a script I want to act in, director’s here, so I came.”
The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned: “Script?”
Sized up Chi Ye: “You want to act?”
Chi Ye: “?”
What kind of look is that?
“Cough cough…” The Empress Dowager coughed lightly twice, little face serious: “In this aspect, this one has plenty of experience, in this one’s view… Teacher Chi, can’t you spare the audience?”
Chi Ye: “？！”
“Joking, joking.”
Jin Xia saw Chi Ye like this and laughed heartily, then thought carefully and said: “I’ll walk the red carpet soon, no one to accompany you, that director probably walking too… like this, tell me where that director is sitting, I’ll get someone to arrange you together, so you can talk about this notebook quickly.”
“No need, he definitely won’t run now, I’ll wait till he’s done participating, talk properly.”
Chi Ye shook his head.
To be honest, today he had troubled the Empress Dowager too much, though he didn’t say it on the surface, he knew his limits inside.
“That works too.” She lowered her voice, coquettishly: “Anyway after the gala you have to accompany me out… to play!”
Chi Ye: “……Fine.”
The Empress Dowager is just a bit playful, of course satisfy her!
Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes narrowed in satisfaction, then slyly glanced at Sister Mi sitting on the sofa, sullen-faced occasionally sweeping over, voice even lower: “Don’t give me the stuff yet, find opportunity for transaction, Over?”
Chi Ye glanced at Sister Mi, nodded: “No problem, Over.”
“Mm…”
The Empress Dowager just wanted to continue the “encrypted call”.
“Xia Xia, time to walk the red carpet.”
Sister Mi stood up, protectively shielding Jin Xia like a calf, and glanced at Chi Ye.
Chi Ye: “…”
Why are you looking at me?
“Really? Okay, let’s go.”
Jin Xia carefully sat up, nearby team members immediately came to smooth the almost invisible wrinkles on her dress.
“Teacher Chi.” She turned back, blinked her peach blossom eyes: “Do you want to see me walk the red carpet?”
Chi Ye was stunned.
“Let’s go, we’ll walk the red carpet!”
The Empress Dowager happily reached out, Sister Mi stepped forward first to support, Chi Ye glanced sideways at Sister Mi again, then followed the Empress Dowager out together.
