Chapter 433: Chapter 432: Stop Dreaming
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Qing deftly moved aside and immediately appeared behind Tan Biyang, knocking on Tan Biyang’s door before she could react.
The door quickly opened, revealing Ning Qian’s delighted face, but her smile froze upon seeing Xiao Qing.
Realizing too late, Tan Biyang tried to intervene, but it was already too late as Lu Jinyang had moved past her towards Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing slowly curled her lips into a smile, greeting Ning Qian, "Hi, Tan Biyang’s sister."
After the initial shock, Ning Qian, confused, swept her gaze over the three individuals before her, eventually resting on Tan Biyang, silently asking for an explanation.
"Miss Tan, isn’t your sister being rather rude? Someone greets her and she ought to at least respond, shouldn’t she?" Xiao Qing raised an eyebrow at Tan Biyang.
Neither Ning Qian nor Tan Biyang expected Xiao Qing to make such a comment.
But Xiao Qing did it on purpose; she didn’t want to let Tan Biyang off the hook today. If she did, she’d be a saint, but she only wanted to be an ordinary person.
Seeing the conflicted exchange between Tan Biyang and Ning Qian, Xiao Qing stepped back, wrapped her bathrobe tighter around her, and leaned on Lu Jinyang, "Ah~ I really wonder how the executives at New City Entertainment Company do their job. If it were up to me, I’d never allow such people to exist in the company."
These words were meant for Tan Biyang and Ning Qian, as she seemed to remember seeing this woman on set and presumed she must be from New City Entertainment.
No sooner had she finished her sentence than Lu Jinyang said, "I’m going to make a call."
"Okay."
The corridor, which had been previously bustling, was now empty, leaving just the three of them.
Tan Biyang stopped pretending. She had not spoken before because Lu Jinyang was present, and she feared saying something that would disgust him. But now it was different.
"Xiao Qing, I really regret sending you to Lu Jinyang’s room." Tan Biyang knew that Xiao Qing had an unshakable place in Jinyang’s heart, but she didn’t expect that after five years, it would still be the same woman by his side.
"Dropping the act?" Xiao Qing smiled lazily, her casual demeanor and aura undiminished by the simple bathrobe.
"Xiao Qing, you were shameless five years ago, and now you’ve come back with a new name to continue being shameless. It’s disgusting."
Ning Qian’s thoughts were the same as Tan Biyang’s. She had not spoken up before out of fear of Lu Jinyang, but with him gone now, she felt no restraint.
"Heh~"
Tan Biyang and Ning Qian exchanged glances and asked Xiao Qing in unison, "What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing at you two... But do you really think that without Lu Jinyang, I have no way to deal with you? Banning you is merely a word away from me."
Emperor is a leading powerhouse in the industry, as long as she asks Xiao Anze for help, Xiao Anze could probably negotiate with New City Entertainment for some benefits. Surely the higher-ups of New City wouldn’t give up their prospects to protect a washed-up Actress, right?
However, Tan Biyang and Ning Qian were clueless about these matters, so they thought Xiao Qing was delusional.
"Don’t kid yourself. Even if you have Lu Jinyang, so what? He’s not from our circles, what can he do to us? On the contrary, for you, Xiao Qing, I will not let things go so easily!" Tan Biyang said viciously.
Ning Qian glared at Xiao Qing as if she wanted to devour her, saying, "The humiliation you’ve caused me today, I will return it to you twofold!"
