"If you want to be called promiscuous, unfaithful, or fickle by netizens, go ahead and post it," Bai Qingzhi replied calmly.
She could imagine the backlash that would follow once Ou Yiyi released the announcement.
"Also, unless you give up your future career."
Ou Yi hesitated.
However, her gaze quickly hardened.
"This matter started because of me, and I am willing to bear the consequences," Ou Yiyi said earnestly.
Just as she was about to take out her phone to send the message she had edited, a nanny van suddenly stopped beside them.
Bai Qingze's assistant walked quickly down from upstairs.
Without even glancing at Ou Yiyi, the assistant approached Bai Qingzhi and said anxiously:
"Miss Bai, please go and try to persuade Qingze!"
Bai Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat. Everything was fine yesterday, what happened today?
After getting into the car with her assistant, Bai Qingzhi turned around and found that Ou Yiyi was still following behind her.
Something seemed to flash through her mind, and Bai Qingzhi suddenly remembered what her second brother had said yesterday.
A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and his earlier worry subsided, though he showed no sign of it on his face.
He turned and stared at his assistant closely, only to realize that he was only pretending to be anxious.
Neither of them chased after Ou Yiyi, letting her follow behind them.
The van made several turns and entered a small alley. Inside was a bar, which Bai Qingzhi knew was Bai Qingze's secret hideout; she had come here with him when they were children.
The assistant was a familiar face here and walked in without any hindrance. Only then did Bai Qingzhi realize that the original bar had changed its appearance.
The hall was filled with old-fashioned arcade games, with claw machines scattered around, the combination of the two somewhat incongruous.
The assistant led the two to a small door, knocked a few times but received no response, so he took it upon himself to push it open.
In an instant, a wave of sound swept over, and Bai Qingzhi paused slightly.
The original bar had actually been moved inside, and Bai Qingzhi couldn't help but marvel at how good the soundproofing of the door was.
After walking down a corridor and turning two corners, just as Bai Qingzhi was about to turn around, her assistant stopped in front of the innermost door.
"Miss Bai, Qingze is inside, so I won't go in." The assistant gave a wry smile.
It seems he was scolded quite badly by Bai Qingze.
Nodding, Bai Qingzhi pushed open the door and went inside, where she saw a large private room.
There were seven or eight men inside, most of whom Bai Qingzhi recognized; they were all friends of her second brother from the A City circle.
Almost every man was accompanied by a woman, and Bai Qingzhi even discovered that some of the married men were accompanied by women who were not their wives at all.
After searching around, Bai Qingzhi spotted her second brother drinking heavily in a corner.
He strode over and snatched the bottle without saying a word.
Bai Qingze seemed to have drunk too much at this moment, and he looked at Bai Qingzhi with some confusion.
"Little sister, what brings you here?" Bai Qingze asked with a smile.
"If I hadn't come, would you have drunk yourself to death here?!" Bai Qingzhi said angrily, slamming the wine bottle down on the table.
Since she came in, someone had turned off the sound system, so their conversation could be heard clearly by everyone else.
Ou Yiyi followed silently behind, her eyes fixed on Bai Qingze's face.
Upon hearing his sister's words, Bai Qingze not only wasn't angry, but instead chuckled.
"My sister is still the best to me, unlike other people who have no conscience at all." After Bai Qingze finished speaking, he lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.
"Second brother..." Bai Qingzhi felt a pang of heartache.
Bai Qingze looked up and smiled, then gently patted his sister's head.
"It's okay, I'm just taking a break during this time. If I can't go back to the entertainment industry, I'll just go back to the company to help my brother."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingzhi's eyes suddenly turned red.
Bai Qingze's greatest hobby is acting. I've heard him say before that if he can't act in this life, then there's no fun in living.
Bai Qingze especially disliked going back to the company.
"Why are you crying? Life isn't always smooth sailing." Bai Qingze's eyes suddenly reddened as well.
Finally regaining his senses, Bai Qingze looked up and saw Ou Yiyi quietly standing behind him.
Her brows furrowed, and Ou Yiyi's heart jumped. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Bai Qingze turn his head away.
"Hilarious, I'm hallucinating again."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was just enough for Ou Yi to hear.
Bai Qingzhi suddenly felt that all her tears had been shed in vain. She glared fiercely at her second brother before speaking:
"Second Brother, Yi-Yi is here too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingze's face showed obvious surprise.
Don't you know your own brother well? When has he ever shown such emotions? It's an act, absolutely an act!
She mentally complained and then secretly pinched Bai Qingze hard.
Bai Qingze knew his sister had seen through him, so he gave her a sly look.
"You can't lose your Best Actor title, otherwise there won't be anyone in the entertainment industry who can take your place," Bai Qingzhi muttered softly, then sat down on the sofa next to her.
Two men were sitting nearby. When they saw Bai Qingzhi come over, they joined in the conversation.
Since we're all in the same industry and have met before, we're relatively familiar with each other.
Bai Qingze and Ou Yiyi stood facing each other, neither of them speaking, until Ou Yiyi couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere any longer and tried to find a topic to talk about.
Bai Qingze responded in a neutral tone and maintained a certain distance from her throughout.
His behavior and speech are completely different from before.
Ou Yiyi looked slightly embarrassed, her hands nervously rubbing together.
Just then, the two people chatting with Bai Qingzhi exchanged a glance and then whispered to each other for a while.
Bai Qingzhi instinctively felt that something was wrong.
A few minutes later, a man stood up. Ou Yiyi was sitting awkwardly on the sofa, while Bai Qingze was still drinking next to her.
The man bypassed Bai Qingze and walked straight towards Ou Yiyi, then smiled.
The man plopped down next to Ou Yiyi and tilted his head to ask:
"I've seen you on TV before. Are you going to film a TV series soon?"
Ou Yiyi laughed along and nodded.
"This young lady is amazing! She's so young and already got a role in Wenzhou. She has a bright future ahead of her!"
After saying that, he deliberately moved closer to Ou Yiyi's position.
Ou Yiyi moved slightly.
"If you need investment in the future, you can come to your brother. Just ask, and your brother will definitely give it to you." After saying this, the man reached out and put his arm around Ou Yiyi's shoulder.
Bai Qingzhi frowned as she looked at him; she remembered this man wasn't like that.
Before she could get up to stop him, she saw her second brother give her a look.
In an instant, Bai Qingzhi understood what was going on, her lips pursed.
