Chapter 401 Qiao Xi won't be around for a few days
Lin Xifei spoke kindly, "Ms. Huo, my assistant ruined my foundation. I will double the compensation. Just let the assistant clean it up. Why do you have to humiliate me? I was wrong today. I'll treat you two to dinner another day."
Huo Sijiao looked at her.
Suddenly laughed.
"How can you be so shameless? If it were someone else today, they would probably be chased away by you!"
"Lin Xifei, even though the media, under pressure from Master Zhong, didn't dare expose your bullying of your peers, I know about it. You forced minor celebrities to put on your shoes and hold up their skirts, verbally humiliated and slapped them, and even toasted and pimped for the big boss. Aren't all of these actions more excessive than what I've done?"
Huo Sijiao sneered, "A mistress of the Zhong family's young master can only flaunt her power in the entertainment industry! You have to clean up this liquid foundation today!"
Lin Xifei's face flushed red as she looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Mrs. Huo, are you also going to watch Miss Huo bully others like this?"
Qiao Xi looked calm and certainly would not slap his own people in the face.
"Jiaojiao is defending me, not bullying me. The assistant is yours, and she's also relying on your power to bully me. So, please."
"you……"
Lin Xifei held her breath and said, "Okay, I'll clean it up."
She bent down and picked up the broken pieces of glass, one by one. Her delicate manicure was stained with liquid foundation, and her hands were smeared with it. With anger filling her heart, she wiped the liquid foundation off the ground bit by bit with a wet wipe.
Full of shame.
Finally, he threw the rubbish into the trash can and said, "Is this enough? Can I go now?"
Qiao Xi said, "Wait."
"Mrs. Huo, do you have any further advice?"
Qiao Xi looked at her face and asked, "Which young master of the Zhong family is your financial sponsor?"
Lin Xifei's face flickered between pale and blue, and she felt even more humiliated as she watched the curious, gossipy eyes of the staff outside. Everyone in the entertainment industry knew she had a powerful sponsor, but few knew she was a mistress.
The eldest son of the Zhong family is married and has been married for more than ten years.
These people now know that she is a mistress!
I don’t know what people are saying behind my back!
Qiao Xi asked, "Is it the eldest young master or the second young master?"
Lin Xifei gritted her teeth and said, "The Zhong family only has the eldest son, and an illegitimate son can't be considered a legitimate young master. Could it be that Madam Huo has some connection with the Zhong family's illegitimate son?"
"Oh, that's the young master."
"What exactly does Madam Huo mean by asking this?"
Qiao Xi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said casually, "The second young master of the Zhong family is collaborating with my husband. If he is your financial backer, I will have to go home and persuade my husband to be cautious about this cooperation. After all, his vision is not very good..."
"you……"
Lin Xifei felt extremely aggrieved.
She didn't get any good results and turned away. Her back looked hurried and flustered, and she was extremely angry.
"Everyone, please disperse and return to your posts."
"Lin Xifei's financial backer is the eldest son of the Zhong family. No wonder she's so arrogant. No one in the entertainment industry dares to offend her. She's so capable! I have to tell my friends this big gossip."
"I'm so happy! I finally saw Lin Xifei get humiliated. She used to bully the staff a lot..."
…
The staff member in charge apologized to Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao, saying that it was the TV station's negligence that caused them to be frightened. They also sent someone to deliver some TV station-related gifts before leaving.
Huo Sijiao closed the door and finally had some peace and quiet.
She laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so irritating. Now everyone knows that she is a mistress, and the eldest son of the Zhong family is famous for being unable to have children."
Qiao Xi said softly, "Hurry up and eat, we have plans for the afternoon."
"Why!"
Huo Sijiao said caringly, "Teacher Qingqing, you must be scared. Don't be afraid. If Lin Xifei dares to cause trouble for you next time, just call me."
The makeup artist shook her head and said, "Although she is arrogant, she also knows the situation. She probably won't cause me any trouble, and she will definitely not ask me to do her makeup again in the future."
"That's good."
Huo Sijiao opened the Jinling Hotel's signature dishes one by one, and the rich aroma wafted out.
As she was setting out the dishes, she said, "Sister-in-law, the audience in the studio are starting to come in and wait. I saw someone I know."
"who?"
"Xu Yunye."
They should be considered as two acquaintances, and Xu Yunye was holding a little one in his arms.
Hearing this name, Qiao Xi was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to come...
"He must have come to see my sister-in-law's interview. He didn't take advantage of his privilege but entered the venue at the same time as the ordinary audience. He was very thoughtful." Even Huo Sijiao couldn't say what was wrong with Xu Yunye. Maybe the twins really can have telepathy.
Xu Yunye and Xu Xingluo have been at odds with each other since childhood, and they are well-known enemies in Haicheng.
Qiao Xi half-closed her eyes, feeling a little warm in her heart.
…
Another powder room.
Lin Xifei dropped her bag and sat down in front of the dressing table, shouting angrily, "All of you get out."
"yes."
The assistants didn't dare to offend her. When she was on the set, Lin Xifei was moody.
The door was closed gently.
Lin Xifei's tears fell, she was so angry that she cried.
She took out her phone from her bag and called the contact at the top of her list, sobbing, "Ling Xiao, I miss you so much."
Lin Xifei, an actress, dared to be so outspoken because she relied on Zhong Lingxiao, the eldest son of the Zhong family. Even the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family knew about her existence. Zhong Lingxiao had difficulty conceiving, but Lin Xifei was the only one who had conceived his child.
Despite the unexpected miscarriage, Zhong Lingxiao still doted on her.
This caused Lin Xifei to become arrogant and overbearing.
"Why are you crying, baby? What happened to you?"
Lin Xifei tearfully recounted the events of the day, exaggerating them. She also complained, "That Mrs. Huo said I was blind to fall for you, and that you were inferior to that illegitimate child."
This is Zhong Lingxiao’s sore spot.
He couldn't stand people saying he was worse than an illegitimate child. If it weren't for the difficulty of having children, how could the Zhong family have found that bastard?
His tone was very calm: "Don't cry, baby. The Huo family's young lady won't be so proud for long. The finals of the needle testing competition will be held soon. Huo Xingzhou doesn't have that much power in the imperial capital. The Lu family will not let Cheng Han's apprentice go easily. I will seek justice for you then."
That's a grasshopper in autumn, it won't be able to jump for more than a few days.
Lin Xifei burst into laughter, "I knew you were good to me. Ling Xiao, I missed you so much when I was abroad. After the show is over, I'll go back to the capital to be with you."
"Don't come back yet, help me do something."
Zhong Lingxiao said in a calm and steady voice, "I've already arranged for you to check into the hotel. Zhong Yi will be staying there, so keep an eye on him. Notice when he leaves the room and what he does. Even when he eats at the restaurant or drinks coffee, he must tell me."
Lin Xifei asked in confusion, "Why are you staring at that illegitimate child?"
