After Lin s.h.i.+yi spoke, the others who had come into the restroom with her said a few more comforting words and walked out one after the other.
The restroom fell silent.
Qiao Anhao, who was satting on the toilet, replayed their whole conversation from start to end in her mind. She understood exactly what had happened.
So there were a few investors here tonight, and so the crew booked the KTV room. Lin s.h.i.+yi and Lu Jinnian were there, but when everyone was singing, Lu Jinnian sat quietly on his own. Then, Lin s.h.i.+yi tried to get him to join in and sing but got made fun of by him.
Lu Jinnian"s personality was fairly reclusive. He was never approachable, nor did he like to talk, but when he did speak, he always got down to the point. According to their story, when Lu Jinnian made fun of Lin s.h.i.+yi tonight, he wasn"t quiet about it. It shocked everyone in the room, and he even dragged the director into his rant.
Remembering how Lu Jinnian made fun of her when he was mad, Qiao Anhao could imagine the att.i.tude in his voice and the level of awkwardness when he spoke to Lin s.h.i.+yi. Qiao Anhao couldn"t help but s.h.i.+ver. After making sure that it was silent outside, she stood up and rushed out.
When Qiao Anhao left the ladies" room and stopped at the sink to wash her hands, she noticed Lin s.h.i.+yi standing in front of the mirror, fixing up her smudged make up.
Qiao Anhao didn"t do anything to wrong to Lin s.h.i.+yi, so she brazenly walked up to the sink and turned on the tap, calm and composed. She thoroughly washed her hands.
She didn"t look over at Lin s.h.i.+yi, but she could sense that the other threw a few glances over at her through the wide mirrors.
Qiao Anhao pretended she didn"t notice, finished was.h.i.+ng her hands, and wiped them dry on the paper towels beside her. Lin s.h.i.+yi closed her powder case and put it away in her handbag. Then, she pulled out her red lipstick. She removed the lid and said in a strange tone, "Miss Qiao"s acting skills are truly astonis.h.i.+ng."
Qiao Anhao couldn"t hear the sarcasm in Lin s.h.i.+yi"s words. At first, when she found out that she"d stolen her role, she wanted to avoid confrontation as much as possible—it"s important to keep the peace. However, it was clear that Lin s.h.i.+yi had no intentions of keeping the peace at all, so there was no way to work harmoniously. Qiao Anhao wasn"t the type to cower, and so she decided that she may as well be frank.
"In the afternoon, it was you who messed with my high heels, wasn"t it?"
