Wang Qin didn’t like those noblewomen. They thought highly of themselves and felt superior because of their status. They looked down on a nouveau riche like Wang Qin. In addition, Wang Qin was close to Shen Hanxing. They despised Wang Qin even more. Last time, the noblewomen lost money because of Ji Mei’s incident. They didn’t dare to make a fuss to avoid getting blamed by their families. Wang Qin was the only one who followed Shen Hanxing and made a profit instead. How could the noblewomen be happy about it? They did not dare to do anything to Shen Hanxing. But, they acted more and more unfriendly to Wang Qin.
Wang Qin was a little indignant when she said this. She snorted coldly, “They isolated me. Well, I don’t even wanna be around them. All they know is to show off their men and family background…”
Wang Qin didn’t envy anyone. She had money and a good figure. She didn’t have to worry about her family. Her son was obedient. She was enjoying a good life.
“As long as you don’t care, their reactions don’t matter.” Wang Qin was open-minded. Shen Hanxing praised with a smile in her eyes, “Madam Wang, you’re so wise nowadays.”
“I learned it from you, Mrs. Ji. I’ll follow whatever you do.” Wang Qin pursed her lips and smiled. “I’m not that smart, but I know that it’s always right to follow smart people.”
“That’s not true. You have great wisdom.” Shen Hanxing could not help but tease her. “If you’re stupid, how can you make money?”
Everyone liked compliments. Wang Qin giggled before she said seriously, “I know that you are not on good terms with Shen Sisi. She’s close to the noblewomen. I don’t know if she’ll do anything bad to you. You must be careful.”
How did Shen Sisi get close to those noblewomen? With Ji Mei’s precedent, those noblewomen were much more guarded. What could Shen Sisi get by getting close to them now? Shen Hanxing couldn’t understand that, so she decided not to care. “When the army comes, we’ll take it as it comes. Shen Sisi can’t do anything.” No matter what Shen Sisi was planning, Shen Hanxing couldn’t stop her now. Those noblewomen didn’t like Shen Hanxing. Hence, they would not listen to her. They would only learn their lesson after experiencing it.
Seeing that Shen Hanxing was calm and composed, Wang Qin felt relieved. She smiled and said, “It’s good that you know what you’re doing. Let’s go in then.”
“Wait.” Shen Hanxing looked far away. She paused for a moment and said, “Wang Qin, you can go in first. I have something to do.”
“Okay.” Wang Qin knew her limits. Noticing Shen Hanxing’s expression, she did not inquire further. She nodded and walked toward the production team. “See you later.”
After Wang Qin left, Shen Hanxing looked at the corner of the street and sighed. She used to think that this studio city was big. Now, she felt that it was a little small. Otherwise, why would she run into all kinds of trouble?
Shen Hanxing went to the supermarket and bought a pack of tissues. Then, she walked to a corner of the street. A girl in a red dress was squatting on the steps and crying very quietly. Her shoulders were shaking. Her tears dripped down and wetted the floor, but she did not make a sound.
“Here you go.” Shen Hanxing squatted down beside Wei Xi’er and handed the tissues to her.
“Thank you.” Wei Xi’er said with a nasal voice. She moved slightly and took the tissue. She lowered her head without saying anything. Shen Hanxing did not say anything either. In the silence, the two of them squatted side by side on the steps.
After crying for a while, Wei Xi’er raised her head. Her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s. Her eyelids were swollen. However, she looked at Shen Hanxing and tried her best to smile. She tried her best to stay strong as she said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Ji.”
“You don’t have to smile if you don’t want to.” Shen Hanxing lowered her eyes and said with a calm expression, “It’s normal to meet a jerk in one’s life. I wouldn’t laugh at you for such a small matter.”
Shen Hanxing’s calmness comforted Wei Xi’er very well. She buried her head in her knees and said self-deprecatingly, “I thought I was indestructible.” She liked Zhuang Li. Otherwise, as the daughter of the Wei Corporation, she would not flatter someone as cold as Zhuang Li. She was so sad after exposing Zhuang Li’s fake personality. Her heart ached so much that she could not stop crying.
