Bai Xinxin opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a staff member walking straight towards her, followed by two bodyguards.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively felt uneasy. She prayed that the person wasn't there to see her, but the next second, the person stopped right in front of her.

Without further ado, the staff member said to the bodyguard behind him, "It's her."

The bodyguard nodded, and before Bai Xinxin could react, he took her arm and walked her out of the show.

"What are you doing!" Bai Xinxin's face drained of all color in an instant, her knuckles turned white from clenching her fists in shock, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and she struggled violently.

"Cover your mouth and throw it out quickly, so as not to affect other people's viewing of the show."

"yes."

"Ugh..." Bai Xinxin turned her head and looked at Xu Shiran sitting not far behind her with pleading eyes.

Xu Shiran frowned slightly, seemingly unintentionally avoiding her gaze, and focused her eyes on the runway in front of her.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of others in the show, and Bai Xinxin was thrown out in front of everyone.

She stood on the side of the road looking like a fool in her strapless black dress.

In late October, the temperature difference between day and night in Beijing was still quite large, and Bai Xinxin was shivering from the cold.

Her face was beyond ugly; her oval face was completely bloodless, filled with humiliation and embarrassment. Even her lips were devoid of color, making her look extremely disheveled.

People passing by frequently glanced at her.

Some passersby even recognized her, taking out their phones to take pictures while whispering, "Isn't that Bai Xinxin?"

Bai Xinxin quickly lowered her head and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her face with her bag. She felt as if she had been stripped naked and was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Even if she wasn't very bright and was arrogant, she realized that she had probably made a huge mistake this time.

Ignoring the stares from those around her, she fumbled in her bag with trembling fingers and pulled out her phone to call her sugar daddy.

When I called the first time, the other party was still on another call.

Bai Xinxin was extremely flustered, not knowing whether her sudden being kicked out was related to Shi Miao.

She and Shi Miao had no past conflict, and the issue of the clothes was clearly resolved peacefully.

Could it be the things I said to Xu Shiran?

But everything I said was true.

Bai Xinxin bit her lip in frustration and made a second call, which was finally answered this time.

Her heart was pounding, her breathing became rapid, and she instinctively gripped her phone tighter, saying in a pitiful voice, "I..."

She had barely uttered a single word when the man on the other end of the phone angrily interrupted her, yelling, "How dare you call me? What were you doing at the Moon Show?!"

Bai Xinxin was struck dumb upon hearing this. She swayed slightly, her face turned ashen, and her voice was filled with grievance, "I, I didn't do anything..."

"You've ruined my life, and you're telling me you didn't do anything! Let me tell you, I don't have time for you right now, but I'll settle the score with you later!"

Bai Xinxin suddenly felt a chill creep up her spine to the top of her head. She wanted to say something more, but the next second, she heard a cold hanging-up sound in her ear.

Before she could even recover, her agent called her again, asked a few simple questions about the Moon Fashion Show, and then, without any further ado, told her that someone had threatened to blacklist her and that the company had held an emergency meeting and decided to sideline her.

"In short, you should think carefully about who you offended. If you have the chance to apologize to them properly, you might still have a chance to make a comeback. Otherwise, you'll be forever cut off from the entertainment industry."

Bai Xinxin's mind went blank when she heard what her agent said. All the blood rushed to her fingertips, which trembled uncontrollably. She tried her best to calm herself down but could not.

My legs went weak, and I plopped down on the cold ground, feeling utterly hopeless.

Where is she supposed to apologize to them?

She was thrown out by the bodyguards and can't get into the show at all now!

...

Inside the venue, the fashion show on the runway continued.

Everyone had long forgotten about Bai Xinxin's little incident.

Shi Miao naturally noticed the scene of Bai Xinxin being carried out by the bodyguards. She was somewhat surprised, but she didn't think much of it, since it had nothing to do with her.

She was quite bored sitting in her seat. She yawned, looking a little tired. Unable to sit still any longer, she turned her head to tell Ji Rou something, then got up and left the show to head to the restroom.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Ever since Bai Xinxin was taken away in front of everyone, Xu Shiran has been somewhat restless and has no interest in watching the fashion show on stage.

Her gaze always instinctively drifted towards Shi Miao and Ji Rou.

Seeing Shi Miao get up and leave, she glanced at her and stood up to follow her.

The two walked out of the show one after the other.

Xu Shiran jogged a few steps and called out to the girl walking ahead, her tone still somewhat uncertain, "Shi Miao?"

Shi Miao stopped when she heard the sound, turned around and looked at her. Her delicate and eye-catching face showed little emotion, and she seemed quite indifferent.

Xu Shiran walked forward in her five-centimeter high heels, her face full of surprise, and said, "It really is you! I thought I was seeing things."

Shi Miao gave a faint "hmm," her voice casual and languid, "Quite a coincidence."

Xu Shiran smiled and said in a sweet voice, "I didn't recognize you at first when I saw you sitting in seat number 1 in the first row. I heard that seats 1-5 in the first row are not open to the public this time, so your seat number 1 is even more special. I suppose you must have a close relationship with Tianzhi Group."

After much thought, she could only come up with one possibility: Shi Miao had gotten close to a high-ranking executive at Tianzhi Group by virtue of her looks.

As for why Shi Miao and Ji Rou knew each other, it was probably because someone behind her acted as matchmaker.

Shi Miao frowned imperceptibly, his dark eyes revealing impatience, and said succinctly, "I don't know where the staff changed the location."

A glint of light flashed in Xu Shiran's eyes. She nodded and said with a smile, "I see."

In her view, Shi Miao's evasive words only confirmed her suspicions.

Shi Miao hadn't expected that her casually made-up reason would lead the other person to imagine so much, even though on the surface it was exactly as she said.

Not wanting to deal with the person in front of her, she said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I need to go to the restroom, I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the restroom without looking back.

Xu Shiran stood still until Shi Miao's figure disappeared around the corner, then she slowly withdrew her gaze.

Her delicate face had vanished from its previous unease, and she looked quite pleased. She curled her red lips into a smile and turned back into the fashion show.
