The fashion show on stage was nearing its end.
Xu Shiran glanced at Shi Miao, who had just returned, and got up to leave the show first.
Once outside the fashion show, she took her phone out of her bag, unlocked the screen, and saw that Bai Xinxin had made many missed calls to her.
A hint of impatience flashed in her eyes. She ignored the incoming calls, sent a message to the driver, and then put her phone back into her bag.
Xu Shiran had just stepped out of the club where the grand show was being held when she heard a familiar yet flustered voice beside her: "Senior Xu!"
The next second, Bai Xinxin appeared in front of her, grabbed her arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Senior Xu, please help me, the company is going to freeze my career."
Xu Shiran frowned, glanced at the scrutinizing gazes from passersby, and said in a low voice, "Let go first, this is not the place to talk."
However, Bai Xinxin's mind was blank, and she couldn't hear any of these words. The fingers gripping her arm tightened, as if she were her lifeline, and she kept saying, "Senior Xu, please help me."
"Ah!" Xu Shiran was hurt by her grip, and her face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. She raised her arm and forcefully shook off her hand.
Bai Xinxin stumbled and fell to the ground. She was wearing high heels, and this time she twisted her ankle.
Her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and ignoring the pain, she simply grabbed Xu Shiran's leg.
The commotion they made was so great, especially since it was at the entrance of the club, that it quickly attracted a large number of onlookers.
Moreover, since both of them are celebrities, many people recognized them and took out their phones to start taking pictures.
Xu Shiran's temples throbbed uncontrollably. She instinctively grabbed her bag to cover her face, wondering why the driver hadn't arrived yet.
Unfortunately, the tight-fitting long dress she was wearing wasn't suitable for making large movements, and she couldn't break free from Bai Xinxin's arms that were holding her legs.
A fire blazed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Let me go!"
Bai Xinxin's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her voice was hoarse as she said, "Senior Xu, I don't want to be sidelined. Aren't you and Shi Miao roommates? Please help me!"
Xu Shiran never expected to get herself into such big trouble for no reason. She was now extremely regretful, but she also learned from her words that her being sidelined was probably related to Shi Miao.
"Why are you looking for me instead of Shi Miao?!"
Bai Xinxin's once delicately made-up face was now streaked with tears, and she looked utterly disheveled.
If Xu Shiran hadn't acted as if she didn't like Shi Miao, she wouldn't have said those things, and no one else would have heard them. It's fair to say that half of her current predicament is caused by Xu Shiran.
The thought of how she had called her more than a dozen times without her answering, and especially seeing her now trying so hard to distance herself and not wanting to help, made Bai Xinxin feel resentful towards her.
Why is she completely unharmed, while I end up like this?
Since she had nothing to lose anyway, she wasn't afraid of anyone with nothing to lose. Glancing at the passersby gathered around her out of the corner of her eye, she said ambiguously, "It wasn't you who deliberately led me to say that Shi Miao was just an ordinary student from H City, otherwise I wouldn't have said those things. Senior Xu, you can't escape responsibility for this matter either!"
Upon hearing her words, Xu Shiran's eyes widened in disbelief, her expression crumbling slightly. She was furious and, disregarding how indecent her actions were, struggled to lift her foot to break free. "Bai Xinxin, what nonsense are you spouting!"
However, she was also wearing high heels, and with her movements being too exaggerated, and Bai Xinxin clinging tightly to her leg, she accidentally fell to the ground as well.
Xu Shiran had never been so humiliated in her life. She was so angry that her face turned green. She was about to stand up by supporting herself with her hands when Bai Xinxin pulled her back down.
"You're not leaving unless you help me!"
"Bai Xinxin, what are you doing! Are you crazy! Do you know who I am!"
The two were locked in a tight embrace, creating a chaotic scene.
In addition, the fashion show had just ended, and people were coming out of the club one after another, making the entrance to the club completely crowded.
Meanwhile, Xu's driver arrived late. Just as he was about to call and ask where Xu Shiran was, he heard someone in the crowd say, "Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Xu family?"
Upon hearing this, the driver felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He quickly squeezed to the front.
Xu Shiran fell to the ground in a disheveled state, and another girl held onto her legs so she couldn't get up.
"Young Miss!"
The Xu family driver quickly stepped forward and pulled Bai Xinxin away, then helped Xu Shiran up.
Xu Shiran's face flushed red, and she almost couldn't catch her breath. She glared fiercely at Bai Xinxin on the ground and gritted her teeth, saying, "Hurry up and leave."
Without saying a word, the Xu family driver quickly escorted her away from there.
Although the incident was filmed by passersby and posted online, fortunately, Xu Shiran was not blinded by anger. As soon as she got into the car, she immediately contacted her agent and father. Both sides acted quickly and suppressed the situation, preventing it from causing a stir online.
However, Xu Shiran lost face in the industry this time. She never expected that the fire would spread to her, and she hated Bai Xinxin to the core.

Qin Mingyue has been locked in her room for the past two days, and even her phone has been confiscated by Qin Mo.
Unable to contact Qin Chu, she was pacing anxiously around the room, biting her fingers, her throat practically blistered with worry.
The thought of losing her chance to go to the Independent State cast a shadow of gloom over her face.
Qin Mingyue, unwilling to give up, pursed her lips, no longer wanting to sit and wait for her fate. She walked to the door, pounded on it, and shouted, "Mom!"
Hearing her voice, the bodyguard standing outside the door replied, "Miss, Madam is downstairs."
The implication is that no matter how much you shout, she won't hear you.
Moreover, Qin Mo ordered that no one was allowed to approach the room except for the servants who brought the meals, and Huo Shu was no exception.
Qin Mingyue's face turned extremely ugly. She kicked the door in anger and shouted a few more times, but this time no one outside the door paid any attention to her.
She returned to her room, feeling upset. Glancing up at the open balcony door, her eyes flickered, and she strode over.
Qin Mingyue leaned against the edge of the balcony, looking down at the ground a few meters above the second-floor balcony. Her legs felt weak, and she couldn't help but swallow.
But thinking that this was the only way to escape, he gritted his teeth, went back into the room, packed some things into his backpack, and then walked back to the balcony.
She gripped the backpack strap tightly, took a deep breath, first climbed from the balcony onto the adjacent air conditioner unit, then slowly shuffled down, clutching the water pipe...
By the time the Qin family discovered the room was empty, she had already met up with Qin Chu's men and boarded a plane bound for Independent Continent.
