C743 Let's Talk
Mei Shujin secretly observed Sisi's expression and found nothing unusual. Only then did he answer Bai Ruoxuan's question.
"Didn't you just see her this afternoon?"
His tone was full of impatience.
Lih Sijin lowered her head the whole time, not knowing what she was thinking.
"But I'm so scared in this empty house alone."
Bai Ruoxuan's voice was trembling on the phone. Even if she did not see her, she could imagine what she was like at this moment.
Mei Shujin frowned deeply, "Isn't Tang Xin here?"
"Tang Xin is not feeling well today. I let her go home to rest."
Mei Shujin still wanted to say something but Lih Sijin, who did not say anything, stood up straight and walked straight to the room.
She did not know if she would cry if she stayed any longer.
Mr Jin was nothing. On one hand, he was unclear with Bai Ruoxuan, on the other hand, he was ambiguous with her.
Looking at Sisi's departing figure, Mei Shujin actually did not have the courage to call out to her for a moment.
"Shujin, are you still there? I feel like I have a fever, and I don't have any strength left in my body."
Bai Ruoxuan's weak voice came from the phone.
Mei Shujin looked at the empty stairs. His voice was a little cold. "Wait at home."
"Brother, where are you going?"
Meng Meng had been paying attention to them since Mei Shujin picked up the phone. Who else would call her brother at this point?
"There's something I need to take care of. Take good care of Sisi."
She pushed her hand away from his arm and prepared to leave.
"Brother, is it Bai Ruoxuan?"
For some reason, Mengmeng's intuition was directed at Bai Ruoxuan.
Mei Shujin did not say anything. He walked past her and walked out. His reaction was indirectly admitting it.
Mengmeng could not stop Mei Shujin who was about to leave. She stomped her feet in anger.
Why was Bai Ruoxuan so persistent all the time?
Looking at the second floor, Meng Meng was about to explode from anger at her stupid older brother!
"Older sister..."
The door to her sister's room was not closed. It was half-closed.
Meng Meng pushed the door open and entered. She saw her sister wiping her eyes in a panic. Her eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that she had just cried.
Meng Meng felt a little uncomfortable. "Sister," she said. Actually, my brother has nothing to do with Bai Ruoxuan..."
"Yes, I know."
It was indeed nothing. Wasn't it the same for both men and women? What was there to be surprised about?
Meng Meng thought for a moment and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. With her sister stopping her, she didn't know how to explain. She couldn't help but curse Mei Shujin in her heart.
Her brother was really stupid. It was a new world. Initially, he and his sister had already gotten along with each other. However, Bai Ruoxuan called him over with a phone call. Wasn't this a waste of time?
"Mengmeng, I'm a little tired. I want to sleep."
Lih Sijin did indeed feel tired. Her body and mind were both tired.
"Rest well."
Actually, she really wanted to stay and accompany her. But seeing her haggard face, she couldn't bear to disturb her.
The next morning, when Lih Sijin went downstairs, she passed by Mei Shujin's room and subconsciously looked inside.
The room was empty. There were no signs of the blanket moving. It seemed like Mr Jin had not returned for the entire night. The sense of loss in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
When Mengmeng woke up, the first thing she did was run to Mei Shujin's room to take a look.
Was her brother a pig? He didn't return at this time of night. It was over. There was no saving him. There was no saving him.
In the entire morning in Ying City, Lih Sijin felt that she was in a muddleheaded state and was not in a good state. Fortunately, she didn't have much scenes today.
While she was resting, a pair of white high heels suddenly appeared in front of her.
Looking up along her fair and well-proportioned legs, she saw Bai Ruoxuan's face with delicate makeup.
She frowned slightly. What business did Bai Ruoxuan have with her?
Her entire body tensed up as she looked at her with a face full of wariness.
Today, Bai Ruoxuan looked like she was looking for trouble with her when she came up. She took the initiative to extend her hand and a pleasant voice was heard.
"Lih Sijin, let's talk!"
Mei Shujin looked at her but did not say anything. It was equivalent to acquiescence.
"Pa, Pa, Pa."
Bai Ruoxuan clapped her hands at the air. Tang Xin immediately walked over with two cups of coffee.
"Let's drink and talk."
Bai Ruoxuan put on a serious attitude of talking to Mo.
"There's no need for coffee. Miss Bai, if you need anything, just tell me."
Mei Shujin's tone was indifferent. He did not even look at the coffee.
Bai Ruoxuan did not beat around the bush. She took out a check from her bag and handed it to her.
"Take this check and fill it out. But I want you to quit the entertainment industry and stop bothering us, Mei Shujin, from now on."
His attitude was arrogant.
Lih Sijin sneered, "Miss Bai, which eye did you see me pestering Mei Shujin?"
Bai Ruoxuan heard her words and pulled her lips in disdain.
"Yo, it's not you pestering him. Could it be that my Mei Shujin is pestering you? Don't you think about your own identity? Do you think this is very likely? You are merely the foster daughter of the Lih family. To put it bluntly, Shujin still hasn't chased you away. It's just that he felt pity for you because you don't have a father or mother. However, some people are really thick-skinned. Not only did they live for more than ten years for nothing, but also for nothing. Trying to seduce Shujin now? What a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Bai Ruoxuan said a lot in one breath, all of it mocking and ridiculing her.
Although Lih Sijin maintained a proper smile on her face, her heart was already churning.
Did Mr Jin only feel pity for her? Then what about the two kisses from before and the cake that was given to her?
"So, what is Miss Bai's purpose for coming here this time? If it is just a taunt, then please go back! Since I was young, I have been ridiculed a lot. I do not lack you."
Lih Sijin put her hands on her hips and looked straight at her.
Bai Ruoxuan was just unhappy with her appearance and her face was a little distorted.
"Lih Sijin, I came to tell you that the person Mei Shujin really likes is me! You will never have a chance in your life. Be sensible and take the check and leave!"
"Oh? Since Mr Jin really likes you so much, why did you come to me today?"
From beginning to end, Lih Sijin kept smiling in front of Bai Ruoxuan.
Didn't you see whether he likes me or not last night? One phone call from me and he accompanied me all night."
She purposely emphasized the words "one whole night," like a proud peacock showing off in front of her.
It was undeniable that her words made Lih Sijin feel like her head was poked by something.
"One night of love is also one whole night. How can you be so sure that Mr Jin likes you?"
Lih Sijin's words made Bai Ruxuan's face turn green and white.
He clearly came with a sense of justice, but why did he feel that Lih Sijin was more confident than she was?
"Lih Sijin, just tell me what you want to do to be willing to leave!"
"Sorry, Miss Bai. Although your suggestion is very good, I am not interested. I like acting and I will not leave. So please go back..."
Lih Sijin looked at her fearlessly.
Acting was her dream. She would not give up.
Bai Ruoxuan saw that she did not want to drink, so she instantly became angry from embarrassment, "Lih Sijin, don't be shameless. Do you believe that I can make you unable to continue living in the entertainment industry forever?"
Bai Ruoxuan's face became gloomy. Lih Sijin was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Lih Sijin shrugged her shoulders indifferently.
"There is more..."
Lih Sijin looked at the blank cheque in her hand and snatched it. She tore it into pieces and threw it in front of her.
"In your eyes, this might be a huge amount of wealth, but in my eyes, it is just a piece of scrap paper!"
When had Bai Ruoxuan ever been humiliated like this? She raised her hand and rushed towards Lih Sijin's face.
"Lih Sijin, I'll scratch your face and see how you continue to seduce men!"
However, before her hand could touch her, it was stopped by another pair of powerful hands.
Lih Sijin looked up and saw Qi Xunmann's angular face.1
Bai Ruoxuan's hands were pinched until they hurt. She shouted, "Who are you and who is she? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Her cry successfully attracted Tang Xin. Tang Xin hurried over and wanted to get rid of Qi Xunmann's hand.
Qi Xunmann let go earlier than her. Bai Ruoxuan was already struggling. When he let go, she staggered. If Tang Xin did not help her from behind, she might have fallen and eaten sh * t.
"Because I am her boyfriend!"
As he spoke, Qi Xunmann pulled Lih Sijin's limp body into his arms, full of protection.
"If you dare to make trouble for her again, I will make you suffer."
Before he left with Lih Sijin in his arms, Qi Xunmann warned.
"Sijin, let's go."
Lih Sijin did not struggle and allowed Qi Xunmann to take her away.
Tang Xin felt her heart ache as she looked at the large patch of red on Bai Ruoxuan's arm that was pinched by Qi Xunmann.
"Miss, I will go tell the president now and make them suffer."
"No need. Be happy. Go and follow the two of them and then take more photos back for me."
Lih Sijin? I didn't expect you to reveal your little tail so quickly.
Tang Xin did not understand but still did as she was told.
The moment she left Bai Ruoxuan's line of sight, Lih Sijin pushed Qi Xunmann away. The smile on her face could not be disguised anymore.
"Thank you for helping me out just now."
"No, I should apologize to you. Without your permission, I will pretend to be your boyfriend."
Lih Sijin shook her head. If Qi Xunmann did not appear in time, she would not be able to get off the stage in front of Bai Ruoxuan.
"Director Qi, I want to apply for leave. I feel a little uncomfortable."
She was not in the mood to film today. Furthermore, Bai Ruoxuan was in the movie city. She might not be able to make things difficult for her.
Qi Xunmann expressed his understanding. If it wasn't for the fact that he had money on hand, he would have made things difficult for her. There's still not finished. He wanted to be with her.
"Alright, don't think about anything else. Go back and have a good sleep."
He patted her head comfortingly.
"Thank you, Director Qi."
Lih Sijin wandered aimlessly on the streets after she came out of Ying City. Her mind was filled with Bai Ruoxuan's words.
Did Mr Jin really only treat her well because she didn't have a father or mother?
