“Taking pictures. These photos of you, Shen, are truly stunning. If they fall into the hands of the paparazzi, that would be quite the spectacle.”
Looking at Qiao Xiaren’s relaxed and languid demeanor, Shen Ruyin was almost biting her silver teeth in fury. She did not need to guess to know that the photos taken of her were detrimental to her image!
Celebrities often care about their public image, and she certainly couldn’t let Qiao Xiaren publicize them! What a damn trap, she was now at Xiaren’s mercy!
“Nothing much.” Qiao Xiaren continued to feign innocence. “I just want an apology from you. I am quite a magnanimous person. As long as you apologize, we will have no issues between us.”
Taste of her own medicine, indeed!
Apologize!? Shen Ruyin almost wanted to charge up and tear Qiao Xiaren apart, but she couldn’t bring herself to apologize in such a submissive way! As the stalemate persisted, Si Limo’s figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the company.
When his domineering voice echoed, emanating his effortless power, Shen Ruyin looked over subconsciously and shivered instinctively, gazing at the awe-inspiring figure standing high above.
Si Limo cast a glance at the people present, his eyes icy. His gaze fell on Shen Ruyin: “Did Miss Shen make a special trip today just to hassle the artists of SGS? Or is it that Jingyun Entertainment now intends to interfere with our SGS recruitment?”
With these few remarks, the matter rose from a mere dispute between two artists to an industry-wide corporate level.
Si Limo spoke with an icy tone, leaving Shen Ruyin trembling and unable to speak. She did take the matter too lightly today. She should have discussed the lead role in “Who Rules The World” directly with the director. But the sight of Qiao Xiaren made her want to put Xiaren in her place and teach her some respect for her seniors!
“Sir Limo, I’m sorry… I misspoke… Qiao Xiaren, I apologize.”
She gritted her teeth, her stance humble, but the glare she cast upon Qiao Xiaren was nothing short of spiteful.
“There’s no need to waste words on those who bear ill intentions.” Si Limo withdrew his gaze, his face expressionless. “Xiaozhang, please escort Miss Shen out.”
The receptionist hurried over and stopped in front of Shen Ruyin: “Miss Shen, this way please.”
Shen Ruyin’s lips trembled slightly, she could not believe that she was being expelled this way. What was worse was that her role in “Who Rules The World” had gone down the drain!
She tried to put on a reluctant smile: “Then I will leave first. See you, Sir Limo.”
“People harboring ill-intentions don’t need reasonable conversations,” Si Limo spoke as he approached her, a regal aura around him, “It’s time for you to go.”
Qiao Xiaren nodded, the two got into the car, and on their way, they stopped at a supermarket and bought a few items of groceries. As it turns out, this was her second visit to the Si family residence. She didn’t feel uncomfortable, instead, she found the lady of the Si family to be very kind and motherly.
The remote gate opened, and a Bentley slowly entered.
Getting out of the car, Qiao Xiaren looked around. The Si family’s house was grand and tastefully designed, with white jade flower garden railings that dazzled in the sun.
The fountain sprayed water into the air, forming a beautiful arc. Madam Si was out as she was accompanied by the first lady in welcoming a dignitary from another country.
“Let’s go in.” Si Limo handed the car keys to the attendant with an elegant demeanor. Walking into the house side by side, Qiao Xiaren took off her shoes. Si Limo took the newly bought cookbook into the kitchen.
