Chapter 138: Sowing Discord

“Isn’t it a little late?” Bai Ran touched her head in embarrassment. “What if there are more paparazzi hiding nearby? If you stay at my house for too long, won’t they be able to make a fuss about it?”
“When I came over earlier, I specially checked it and confirmed that no one was around,” Huo Tian explained.
“It’s too late. It’s not convenient for you to stay in a girl’s house.” Bai Ran’s tone was filled with rejection. Huo Tian was a more sly person. Although he was very respectful to her now, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be like before. Therefore, some things were better avoided.
After Huo Tian left, Bai Ran packed up and went to bed.
The next morning, Bai Ran put on a mask and went to the company.
Bai Ran pushed open the door to the dressing room. Lan Xin had just finished putting on her makeup. When she saw Bai Ran, she immediately stood up and ran to Bai Ran’s side. “Ran Ran, you’re here!”
“Ah Xin, you’re so beautiful today!” Bai Ran looked at Lan Xin and praised her from the bottom of her heart.
“When am I not beautiful?” Lan Xin pretended to be dissatisfied and pouted, looking very playful.
“This advertisement will take two more days. How’s your collaboration with Sun Mei yesterday?” Bai Ran asked with concern.
“She’s just the same as always, she doesn’t remember what happened. You forced her to apologize previously, but now she still dares to be arrogant,” Lan Xin complained with disdain.
“Don’t worry about such people. As long as she doesn’t trip you when you enter the filming,” Bai Ran instructed.
“How would she dare? She thinks more highly of this advertisement than me. After all, this is her first time officially showing her face. Previously, she was basically acting as a human-shaped stop sign.” Lan Xin had a look of having seen through her long ago, her mockery evident on her face.
“Then that’s enough. Let’s go over later,” Bai Ran said.
When they arrived at the studio, Sun Mei was already sitting there early, discussing something with the director.
“She’s really serious.” Lan Xin glanced at Sun Mei.
“Alright, at least she has a good learning attitude,” Bai Ran stopped.
Sun Mei looked up and saw Bai Ran and Lan Xin. She walked over and her humble demeanor instantly disappeared in front of the director. Replacing it was mockery. “I heard about your allergy yesterday. It’s true when I see you today. Do you think this is the punishment God gave you for being a loose woman?”
“What are you talking about?!” Lan Xin stepped forward. “If not for Ran Ran’s allergy, would you have played the role in this advertisement? It’s bad enough that you’re not grateful, but now you actually have the cheek to say Ran Ran?”
“Hey, I’m taking the role that you don’t even want, aren’t I? If you have the ability, let me take my turn as the protagonist before you say such things!” Sun Mei retorted rudely. Lan Xin was always rebuking her.
Sun Mei’s eyes darted around before she suddenly looked at Bai Ran and asked, “Don’t you want to think about why you had an allergic reaction?”
“What do you mean?” Bai Ran looked up.
“Think about it. Who will benefit the most from something? Then this person is the initiator.” Sun Mei looked at Lan Xin.
“You mean me?” Lan Xin’s eyebrows instantly rose to the sky.
“This advertisement is so important. If she has an allergic reaction, you’ll naturally become the protagonist. Besides, I heard that you were the one who brought her that cup of milk tea.” Sun Mei sounded reasonable.
“Ah! Ran Ran, it’s really not me!” Lan Xin grabbed Bai Ran’s arm anxiously.
“Hehe, does that mean whoever took it is the most suspicious? Why don’t you say that it was the waiter pretending it was a cup of milk tea? Did you not touch anyone before this cup of milk tea was sealed? Did you see all of this?”
Bai Ran retorted unhappily and gave Sun Mei an unfriendly gaze. “Don’t think about trying to sow discord between me and Ah Xin. I know best what kind of person Ah Xin is!”
“Ran Ran…” Lan Xin pulled the corner of Bai Ran’s shirt, looking touched.
“But when you asked if I interacted with others, I recalled something!” Lan Xin slapped her head and shouted, “At that time, I went out after taking the milk tea and bumped into someone.”
“There’s such a thing?” Bai Ran was surprised.
