C43 Deployment Situation
Yan Xi scrutinized Bai Wanning's attitude.
As Bai Family's member, Bai Xiaoxiao had always been hesitant about Bai Luofan and her marriage. With Bai Xiaoxiao's attitude today, she would have known about the news and is aware they were no longer together. Therefore, this filming was most likely Bai Xiaoxiao's idea.
Compared to the arrogant and impetuous Chiang Yumeng, Bai Xiaoxiao was a menacing opponent.
"With communication so advanced now, good news does not leave the house whereas bad news travels far."
Yan Xi words had a meaning but Bai Xiaoxiao pretended she didn't understand it. Instead, she smiled generously. As if the Bai family was perfectly fine without Yan Xi as a future daughter-in-law, Bai Xiaoxiao spoke in a tone full of disdain,
"Nowadays, it is perfectly normal for people to break up and reconcile, especially when the entertainment industry is so messed up. An ambitious man like Luofan needs someone who can support him and share his worries. I think with your relationship so strained, it's good for Luofan that both of you separated. If you really love him, you should be happy for him and Yumeng. "
Sister Xia, who was standing next to Yan Xi, felt she was going to explode with anger. How dare she say such things?
Is there anyone more thick skinned?
Bai Luofan was clearly the one who cheated, yet they are blaming Yan Xi? It was as if Yan Xi refuse to accept the break up with Bai Luofan?
Just then, Bai Xiaoxiao answered a call and her expression immediately changed. She instructed her subordinates to bring Yan Xi to the lounge area. She took two other subordinates with her and exited out the other side of the airport.
It seemed they were looking for someone.
"Bai Luofan's flight isn't to arrive till half an hour later. They are heading to the private pathway. Who is she meeting?"
Yan Xi faltered a bit and replied, "Who knows?"
Her smile was as cold as the wind, not paying any attention to the Bai Xiaoxiao, nor did she care about Bai Xiaoxiao's threatening words. She went straight to the lounge.
Bai Xiaoxiao received news, the CEO of Dahua Entertainment was here on a business, which he should arrive around this time. If she could meet him and establish a relationship with Dahua Entertainment, then Chiang Yumeng would have a better chance of becoming successful. If that happens, they wouldn't need to be concerned about a small fry like Yan Xi.
However, Bai Xiaoxiao's subordinates had only the general news and not the exact time of arrival. So by the time she rushed to the private pathway, Chiang Mochen was already in the car, on his way to the hotel while on a video call with his wife.
On the screen, he showed elegance in his gray and purple shirt, his thin lips were slightly parted. Obvious gentleness filled his eyes.
"It's afternoon already. There shouldn't be any filming, right?"
"I don't think so." Yan Xi checked the time and asked him with concern, "How about you? Will you be going straight to work?"
Chiang Mochen's eyes darkened, "I'll probably be back late tonight. Don't wait up for me. Get an early rest. If I get a chance, I'll come over to see you."
Yan Xi didn't think too much about what he said and nodded. She hung up the phone before Bai Xiaoxiao came to the lounge area.
Bai Xiaoxiao went and picked up Bai Luofan and Chiang Yumeng. She wasn't too happy that she missed Chiang Mochen, "If I was just a bit early, I would've have seen him."
"Sis, who were you waiting for? Yumeng is really tired and need to rest after a long flight. Let's go back. You can give them a call and meet up with them later?"
"What do you know? It was the CEO of Dahua Entertainment, I can't even get his phone number." Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head while she looked at Chiang Yumeng. If Chiang Yumeng wasn't already pregnant, she would never accept her as her brother's wife.
What was just said was meant for Yan Xi. Deep within Bai Xiaoxiao's heart, she still felt Chiang Yumeng was not comparable to Yan Xi. But since things are what they are now, for Bai family's sake, she wouldn't allow Yan Xi to make a comeback successfully.
When Chiang Yumeng saw Yan Xi being so relaxed, the anger in her from the incident in the plane had not subsided yet, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I missed you so much. Can I stay over at your place tonight?"
Sister Xia sneered in her heart. Does she think she is Bai Luofan's wife already? How pathetic!
Bai Xiaoxiao understood immediately what she was getting at and held her hand, "Of course you can. We have so much to catch up. Yan Xi, I've booked three rooms at the hotel for you. You can have one room, and they can each have the others. Are you okay with that?"
It seemed from the very start, she had no intention of allowing Chiang Yumeng stay at the hotel.
With this arrangement, Chiang Yumeng was ecstatic, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you're so nice to me. I can never get used to sleeping in hotel beds."
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled while still holding Chiang Yumeng's hand. They do have a common enemy, Yan Xi. Anyone who was adverse to Huihuang Entertainment and Bai Luofan would not be able to remain in the entertainment industry. This time, she would help her little brother. She is just a retired actress, what is it can she do?
To say the least, Yan Xi was on Bai Xiaoxiao's territory. She would make Yan Xi regret she ever thought she had a chance to be in the entertainment industry.
Yan Xi nodded calmly and picked up her handbag. "No problems."
After replying to her, she ignored them and walked out the airport with Sister Xia and Chen Yu.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, look at her attitude. She's so cold and intentionally left us here. She even came here in a private jet using connections of the Yan Family!" Chiang Yumeng took this opportunity to complain.
"A private jet?" Bai Xiaoxiao had a slight change in her expression after hearing this as she kept this in mind, "Okay, you both must be tired after the flight. Let's go back, then we can catch up."
After walking out of the airport terminal, Yan Xi stood outside the car park entrance. A few minutes later, a car came and stopped beside them, arranged by Chiang Mochen.
The driver was a local and spoke fluently in English, "Miss Yan, this way please."
Yan Xi replied with a gentle smile and got in the car like a royalty.
On their way to the hotel, Chen Yu received a message.
"Bai Xiaoxiao's assistant bribed the cameraman who will be filming Yan Xi, she wants him to meddle with Yan Xi's drink, take advantage of her on her film breaks, record it and upload the video on the net..... This is despicable!"
Yan Xi faced Chen Yu, "Then?"
Bai Xiaoxiao had been in the entertainment industry for many years and her company had a good reputation. She, of course, did not only rely on deceitful methods.
"Then they will find another excuse to replace you, have this news broadcast back home saying you seduced the cameraman. That way, no renowned directors will want to work with you again."
Sister Xia gripped her phone so tightly as she was fuming, "It's a good thing Chen Yu is on our side now, otherwise …"
Yan Xi's face turned gloomy. She knew that this filming would not be smooth sailing but she never expected them to be so despicable.
"Yan Xi, how should we do this?"
"Well, since Chiang Yumeng is seeking external help, we'll do the same as well." She took out her phone as she spoke. She scrolled her phone directory and fell silent in thought.
