Chapter 97: A bit of temper
"But sister, I don't mind." Ning Baixuan moved forward step by step.
Although Ning Baicha didn't know what Ning Baixuan was trying to do, she knew there must be something wrong. In the past few days, Ning Baixuan didn't even want to look at her, let alone get close to her.
Yesterday, before going on stage to perform, something suddenly happened, and Ning Baicha felt like it had finally happened.
How could Ning Baixuan just watch her go up to the podium?
Seeing that she was approaching, Ning Baicha simply turned around and went into the locker room. With a bang, she slammed the door shut. She took out her cell phone, clicked the recording button, and said loudly to Ning Baixuan through the door: "Sister, the rankings haven't come out yet, so we'd better avoid suspicion."
Outside the door, Ning Baixuan's voice was mixed with sobs.
"Sister, the Golden Elephant Awards don't have so many rules. You simply think I'm not good enough and my performance yesterday wasn't good either, so you don't want to see me."
Are you kidding? What does a good performance have to do with Ning Baicha?
It’s not Ning Baicha who has the final say.
She cried, and Ning Baicha cried too.
"But sister, I'm not a judge. I don't have the final say on this matter."
"But they all think you're just a good dancer."
Ning Baicha blinked her eyes, tears falling in an instant. She sobbed and asked, "Xuanxuan, do you think I took away your glory? I'm really sorry. You always advised me not to stand out, and I always listened to you. But this time, I really liked this character, so I was extra attentive and dedicated when performing."
The person outside the door paused, as if he had not expected Ning Baicha to say this.
After a moment of silence, Ning Baixuan spoke again: "Sister, how can you say that? From childhood to adulthood, haven't I always given you opportunities?"
That's not the case at all.
It was obvious that Ning Baixuan really liked to steal her things.
However, this kind of brutal behavior will not bring any positive comments to Ning Baicha.
Ning Baicha had worked hard to build up the original owner's reputation. Unlike Ning Baixuan, who already had a good reputation and refused to let it fall, Ning Baicha's reputation was just a castle in the air. If it was not managed well, it would be easily destroyed.
More importantly, if her reputation declines because of Ning Baixuan, Ning Baicha will feel... disgusted.
Ning Baixuan is not even a stumbling block on her road to success.
Ning Baicha locked the door with a click. She did not continue to take care of Ning Baixuan. No matter how Ning Baixuan knocked on the door, she ignored her and called Shen Shijing directly.
The call was connected and loud music came from the other end.
Ning Baicha didn't say anything nonsense and said directly: "Xuanxuan is outside the locker room. I locked the door of the locker room. Mr. Shen, come and take her away."
There was silence in the microphone.
Silence, more silence.
This silence made Ning Baicha doubt whether Shen Shijing heard her words. She cleared her throat and called out tentatively, "Mr. Shen?"
"I heard it." Shen Shijing's voice was lazy, with a long tail tone. He asked back, "But why should I go and take Ning Baixuan away?"
Ning Baicha: ...
How could she know why Shen Shijing wanted to take Ning Baixuan away, but considering how much Shen Shijing cared about Ning Baixuan, wasn't it normal for him to take her away?
Ning Baicha was silent for a moment before saying, "Is Mr. Shen and Xuanxuan not in a good relationship?"
Shen Shijing ignored her nonsense and asked, "Are you afraid of seeing Ning Baixuan at this time?"
"Why would I be afraid of seeing Xuanxuan? Or is it because the awards haven't been given out yet, and the rankings haven't come out yet, so it's not appropriate for Xuanxuan and I to meet frequently. Of course, it's better to avoid suspicion."
This logic is actually a bit far-fetched.
But now the names of Ning Baicha and Ning Baixuan are both posted on the Internet, and the fans of the two are tearing each other apart. From this perspective, it can be said that they are avoiding suspicion, which is barely reasonable.
"Since she wants to avoid suspicion, why doesn't she want to leave? You should just analyze the pros and cons directly." Shen Shijing said again.
Ning Baicha was really speechless. It is said that people who are in love don't work very well.
But no one said that Shen Shijing's brain could be so useless.
It is impossible for her to discredit Ning Baixuan in front of Shen Shijing.
Ning Baicha licked her canine teeth and showed a charming smile: "But Mr. Shen, Xuanxuan hasn't seen me for a long time. Of course she can't bear to leave me and wants to meet me. As her younger sister, I pamper her, give in to her, and let her act coquettishly. This is a very normal thing. But the current situation is special. I said so much, but Xuanxuan is still angry. I don't understand why those people on the Internet say that there is a discord between her and me.
Ms. Shen has no brothers or sisters, so she can't quite understand the little disagreement between the sisters. Even if I'm right, Xuanxuan still wants to see me, so she will still get angry. "
This statement is reasonable.
There was silence for a few minutes on Shen Shijing's end.
His abnormal behavior made Ning Baicha feel uneasy. She swallowed and was not sure what Shen Shijing was trying to do.
"Mr. Shen?" Ning Baicha was really confused and called out again tentatively.
Shen Shijing paused for a moment before saying, "Since this is a matter between you two sisters, this time you are asking me for help, right?"
Ask...him for help?
Ning Baicha thought he had heard it wrong.
Her mind paused for a moment before she said, "But Mr. Shen, this is actually a chance for you and Xuanxuan to be alone together."
"Do I need you to deliver it?" Shen Shijing's tone sounded a little cold and hard, as if he had a bit of temper.
Ning Baicha was slightly confused. She was silent for a while before she said, "That's right."
Before she could continue speaking, Shen Shijing's voice came again.
"So this time, I'm the one helping you, and you have to remember to return the favor."
Ning Baicha: ????
She really didn't understand what Shen Shijing was trying to do.
There's no big problem in returning a favor, but... Shen Shijing's words made Ning Baixuan feel a little uneasy for no reason.
About twenty minutes after the phone call was hung up, footsteps and conversations were heard outside.
Ning Baicha listened carefully for a while, but did not hear Shen Shijing's voice, but instead the voice of another strange man.
He must be one of Shen Shijing's subordinates.
Soon, Ning Baixuan followed the other party and left.
Ning Baicha was worried that if he went out at this time, he would run into Ning Baixuan again, so he waited for a while until the second drama troupe in the afternoon went on stage to perform, then he sneaked out of the dressing room and went to the performance venue.
