Bai Qianmo smiled and glanced at Xia Wei.
She was also wearing a black dress tonight, the style of which was very similar to her own. She had her hair styled in a loose bun, which made her look even more intellectual and elegant.
"You came here by yourself?"
Xia Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly: "How could the company possibly give me the opportunity to walk the red carpet alone when I'm just a nobody like me? I'm here to crash the red carpet with the other artists from our company."
Bai Qianmo smiled and said, "Coincidentally, me too!"
"Haha, that's such a coincidence. We little nobody should just find a quiet, inconspicuous place to stay."
Xia Wei took Bai Qianmo's arm and found a seat in the back row.
Because they are too far from the camera, no one else is sitting here except for the two of them.
"By the way, have you resolved your family issues?" Bai Qianmo asked.
Xia Wei paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The house was sold, and the money was used to pay for my father's surgery."
When Xia Wei talked about her family, a hint of melancholy appeared on her face.
Bai Qianmo looked at Xia Wei with some confusion: "Why would you sell that house to help your parents even though you know they are biased?"
Xia smiled, but the smile was tinged with bitterness: "The hardest thing to sever in this world is blood ties. To me, they are not a good pair of parents, but they gave me life after all. Seeing my dad go from a man weighing over 160 pounds to only 90 pounds due to the torment of illness, I can't just turn a blind eye. This time, I will treat it as the last time I help them."
Bai Qianmo thought for a moment and said, "Selling the house is actually a good thing, it will completely put an end to their hopes."
Upon hearing that Xia Wei had sold the house, Bai Qianmo was at a loss for words to comfort her.
As a child, she also lived in a family that favored boys over girls, and from the time she could remember, she was the one who was forgotten.
He always wore his older sister's hand-me-downs, and whenever there was something delicious to eat, it was always his younger brother's.
I remember that on the night she earned her first pot of gold, she went to a convenience store and ate all the sweets she had wanted to eat as a child, such as ice cream, chocolate, and cake, which she had never tried before.
After eating them, she realized that these delicacies, which she had once envied so much, didn't taste as delicious as she had imagined.
Since that incident, she has completely given up the desire to eat sweets.
"The house is sold, so where do you live now?"
"When I'm filming, I stay at the accommodation arranged by the production team. When I return to Beijing, I stay at my employer's house."
"You even took on a part-time job?" Bai Qianmo asked, slightly surprised.
Although I didn't know Xia Wei at the time, I had seen her many times on the set of "The Phoenix's Journey".
Xia Wei not only works as an actress, but also does odd jobs on set. So, you can often see her slender figure moving around in the stuffy studio.
When Xia Wei talked about her part-time job, her face lit up: "My classmate introduced me to a tutoring job. The family is very well-off. Whenever I'm not filming, I go there to teach English to the children. The employer provides room and board, and the salary is very good. Besides the maid, there is only a four-year-old child in the family."
"Where are the child's parents?" The child is only four years old, which is an age when he should be inseparable from his parents.
"I've only met the child's father twice. He seemed cold and unapproachable. Luckily, he's very busy and often away from home. His child is super cute. Although he's not talkative like his father, I can't help but want to reach out and pinch his cheeks whenever I see his face. And those big, sparkling eyes, like two black gems, are so bright."
Seeing Xia Wei's doting smile when she mentioned children, Bai Qianmo remained noncommittal.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were praising your own child."
Xia Wei sighed, "If I had such a cute child, I'd be laughing in my sleep."
Bai Qianmo picked up the water glass in front of her and subconsciously glanced around.
Ever since she sat down here, she has felt like a pair of eyes are watching her from the shadows.
Bai Qianmo looked at Xia Wei beside her.
"Xia Wei, I'm going to the restroom."
Do you want me to stay with you?
Bai Qianmo shook her head: "No need, I'm going there to return a friend's call."
Xia Wei nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Bai Qianmo picked up her phone, got up, and walked towards the restroom.
Arriving at a secluded corner, Bai Qianmo made a phone call.
"How about it?"
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "An hour ago, Man Xueni and Wu Zouyang met. Shortly after they parted, Wu Zouyang booked a suite at the Haiyue Hotel next to the theater. Wu Zouyang even posted on his WeChat Moments that he was going to 'get you' tonight. Boss, I think he's pretty unlucky."
Of all people to choose from, why did she have to fall for her own ruthless and vengeful boss?
Not only will that pig Wu Zouyang suffer, but judging from the fact that the boss has started investigating the Wu Group these past two days, the Wu Group is likely to be the next CCO.
Bai Qianmo's lips curled into a cold smile: "Send me the room number."
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, a message immediately appeared on my phone.
The above shows: Room 3312
Staring at the room number, Bai Qianmo curled her lips and let out a soft laugh.
It seems that her warning to Man Xueni was not enough, otherwise she wouldn't be so forgetful!

After Bai Qianmo left
A young waiter approached Xia Wei with a glass of orange juice.
"Miss, would you like a glass of orange juice? It's freshly squeezed."
