Chapter 6
At Bai Family’s villa…
Bai Shao wore an expression of understanding when he scrolled to the Weibo post. “Here I was wondering why she left so confidently. It turns out that she has found support.”
The comments section was a mess. At a glance, it was filled with attacks against Bai Lin and wails of fans who could not accept the matter.
Bai Xi clutched her phone tightly as she glared at Zhou Guang and Bai Lin’s faces in the photos yet her voice was as gentle as ever. “Xiao Shao, don’t say that. She must have her own difficulties.”
Bai Shao was disdainful. “What difficulties can there be? She can’t get any money from us, so she goes to other men.” He paused and then said in confusion, “Jie, other than her pretty face, Bai Lin can’t compare to you in any other way. What do you think Zhou Guang sees in her?”
Did he mean that Bai Lin was better looking than her?
Bai Xi clenched her fingers, but her expression remained unchanged.
She had once acted as a supporting actress in Zhou Guang’s MV, and her company wanted to couple her and Zhou Guang to market them as a couple after that.
However, as soon as they started to do so, Zhou Guang’s company came to them with the threat of terminating the cooperation for violating the rules in asking them to stop what they were doing immediately.
It was no wonder Zhou Guang had no scandal in the entertainment industry. There would be no news if he did not allow it.
That said, Bai Lin knew Zhou Guang.
The cogs in Bai Xi’s head began turning. She did not know how Bai Lin had managed to get close to Zhou Guang, but she was confident that she did not lack compared to her. It was fate that was lacking between her and Zhou Guang.
Zhou Guang would also be attending the variety show this time. If Bai Lin returned to the Bai Family, Bai Xi could get more information about Zhou Guang from her, or use her to get in touch with Zhou Guang directly. Things would be more under control this way.
Bai Xi looked up with eyes full of worry. “Did jiejie encounter the bad guys? The showbiz isn’t a nice place. If she takes things too hard and goes astray, it’ll cost her her future.”
Bai Shao sighed, “You’re too kind to still be worried about her at a time like this. Her info’s all exposed online. Dad and mom must be so angry that she’s being this embarrassing on the internet.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiao’s phone call came in.
“Bai Xi! Hurry and call Bai Lin home! She knows nothing but embarrasses herself online! Don’t take her to that variety show anymore either. When she comes back, put her in the backyard so she could reflect on her actions!”
Bai Xiao’s roar could be heard by Bai Shao even if the speaker was not turned on.
Bai Lin pursed her lips and replied, “Okay, dad. Don’t worry. She might not have done it on purpose. I’ll go look for her now.”
Not only did these words of comfort not calm Bai Xiao’s anger, they made him roar even louder, “Not on purpose? If she didn’t do it on purpose, would she not pick up my call? Enough, tell her to get her ass back here and stop embarrassing herself out there!”
Then, he hung up the phone.
“She shouldn’t have come back,” Bai Shao said angrily, “She stirs up nothing but sh*t. How many years has it been since dad got this angry? You’re also implicated.”
Bai Xi did not say anything and called Bai Lin directly.
After three rings, a leisurely and pleasant voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Hello?”
This voice was too unique. Bai Xi was stunned for a moment before she immediately figured it out. She suppressed her disgruntlement and slowed down her voice, “Hello, may I know who you are?”
Zhou Guang did not answer her question. “Who are you?”
Other than the job last time, Bai Xi had never contacted Zhou Guang in private. Although she was currently excited, her rationality prevailed.
She made her voice sound even sweeter. “I’m Bai Lin’s younger sister. I have some family matters to discuss with her. You are? Why is my sister’s phone with you? Is it…”
“She’s not free.”
Zhou Guang hung up.
Bai Xi called again, but it did not go through.
She was blocked.
“Who is it?” Bai Lin wore an apron when she stuck her head out of the door. “I just heard my phone ring.”
Zhou Guang answered, “Someone from the Bai Family. Talks too much, so I hung up.”
Bai Lin thought for a moment with a tilt of head. “I guess they want me to go back.”
Zhou Guang nodded and walked over to retie Bai Lin’s apron. “Were you upset spending these days at the Bai Family? I can take you to a friend’s ice-skating rink?”
Bai Lin nodded and smiled. “I’m good. I don’t have any more worries once I see you.”
