Bai Shimu first saw Gu Jueye on news reports. He was from a prestigious family, exceptionally handsome and elegant. Her first impression of him? "A demon!"
The second time she met Gu ...
This way
Bai Xiruo and Song Wanwan stood together talking, but their eyes were fixed on Li Yushu and Bai Qianmo.
Following Bai Xiruo's gaze, Song Wanwan asked curiously, "Senior Sister, do you also know Bai Qianmo?"
Although Song Wanwan came from a girl group, she applied to B Film Academy last year and will start her second year of university this September, one year younger than Bai Xiruo.
Bai Xiruo was not only gentle and charming, but also a typical rich and beautiful woman. She was a well-known and influential figure in B-movie, so Song Wanwan naturally knew her.
Bai Xiruo withdrew her gaze, the coldness in her eyes quickly disappearing, and chuckled softly: "Qianmo is a distant relative of mine, and she's been staying at my house recently."
"Oh! She lives in your house? Someone as nice as you, how can you get along with a delinquent like her?"
"Qianmo is not actually like the rumors say. She may have grown up in the countryside and is not used to the city right away."
Bai Xiruo's words contained a lot of information. She gave a vague explanation of the rumors about Bai Qianmo, and then said that she lived in the countryside, which indicated that Bai Qianmo came from a humble background.
Song Wanwan stared at Bai Qianmo in disbelief.
Judging from Bai Qianmo's demeanor, she really doesn't seem like someone from the countryside. I originally thought that since she was connected with the Bai family, her status shouldn't be too bad.
Who would have thought she was a country girl?
"Senior sister, how could someone from your family be related to a country girl?"
Bai Xiruo narrowed her eyes and smiled gently: "My grandfather went to the countryside in his early years, so perhaps that's when we met."
Song Wanwan has a strong ability to make connections. It's very likely that when Grandpa Bai went to the countryside, it was because Bai Qianmo's family helped him. That's why Grandpa Bai, out of gratitude, brought Bai Qianmo to the capital to develop her career.
"Senior sister, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not." Song Wanwan hesitated before speaking.
Senior Xi Ruo looks so gentle and kind, how could she be a match for that bitch Bai Qianmo?
Bai Xiruo smiled gently: "Just say what's on your mind. Your silence is making me anxious."
Song Wanwan cautiously looked at Bai Xiruo: "Your family brought her here with good intentions, but don't let it turn into a dangerous situation. The man who came with you is your boyfriend, right? I was just about to say that he seemed like a good catch, and you two looked like a perfect couple, but the way he looked at Bai Qianmo just now..."
Noticing Bai Xiruo's somewhat gloomy expression, Song Wanwan dared not say anything more.
"In short, just be careful of this woman."
Bai Xiruo smiled awkwardly: "I will, thank you Wanwan. It's so great to be in the same crew as you for the first time filming."
After chatting for a bit, Bai Xiruo took a milk tea and some pastries and walked towards Bai Qianmo.
She deliberately stood next to Li Yushu, so that to onlookers, she and Li Yushu looked like a couple deeply in love.
"Qianmo, you must be hungry after filming all morning. Have some pastries. These are from a very famous dessert shop in the capital that Yushu and I personally went to pick out. They taste really good."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Bai Xiruo indifferently, without reaching out to take it: "Thank you, but I don't like sweets."
Bai Xiruo's smile froze slightly as she suppressed her displeasure and still managed a sweet smile.
"That's a real pity. I thought girls all liked desserts. By the way, Qianmo, congratulations on joining the cast of 'The Splendor of the Brocade.' I really like the character Nie Wuxin, and I hope you can portray him well."
Bai Xiruo spoke in a half-joking tone, but those around her couldn't help but take it to another level.
"Someone who doesn't even have acting skills wants to play the role of Nie Wuxin well? You must be joking."
"I don't know what kind of spell this girl cast on Director Cui, that he actually gave her such an important role."
"Hehe, haven't you heard? This girl has someone backing her up. If she brought her own funding to the project, even Director Cui can't do anything about it."
Hearing the mockery from those around her, Bai Xiruo gently comforted her, "Qianmo, don't take their words to heart. As long as you're willing to work hard, I believe you can definitely act well."
Bai Qianmo's lips twitched slightly, implying that if she messed up her performance in the end, it would mean she hadn't tried hard enough.
Seeing Bai Xiruo's sincere expression, Li Yushu nodded approvingly: "Xiruo is right, Qianmo, I believe you can do it."
Bai Qianmo curled her lips dismissively. Seeing An An waving at her, she turned back and smiled apologetically at Li Yushu: "Mr. Li, I'm going to remove my makeup."
Li Yushu glanced at An An: "Well... let's talk again when we have time."
Bai Qianmo nodded, turned around and walked towards the dressing room, without even glancing at Bai Xiruo.
"Wow, Qianmo, that man is so handsome! Is he your boyfriend? The clothes he's wearing are really expensive. He must be very rich, right? I knew a pretty girl like you would have a lot of suitors."
"I saw his gaze soften when he was looking at you just now; he looked incredibly handsome with that tender look in his eyes."
Faced with An'an's incessant chatter, Bai Qianmo glanced at him speechlessly.
"He has a girlfriend."
The Li and Bai families have an intention to form a marriage alliance, and Li Yushu and Bai Xiruo are often together. Although the two have not publicly announced their relationship, Li Yushu's appearance in the studio suggests that he was visiting the set.
The nature of their relationship is self-evident.
"He has a girlfriend? That can't be right. The way he looked at you just now clearly meant he wanted to flirt with you. Didn't you notice? Qianmo, I'm usually very good at judging people. This man definitely has feelings for you. However, if he really does have a girlfriend, then you need to think carefully. Although that man's face is indeed very attractive to women, we can't do something as morally reprehensible as being a mistress!"
