Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the banquet hall, Bai Lin saw Xuan Jing take Yan Ruo away. However, she trusted her second brother with all her heart, and she did not think that her second brother would do anything to harm Yan Ruo.
Moreover, she no longer thought of Yan Ruo as a weak and fragile celebrity.
Even though she did not know what they talked about outside, it had been too long. It was so long that Elder Mrs. Yan had asked her where Yan Ruo had gone.
Seeing that the banquet was about to end, she had no choice but to come out and look for these two people.
Bai Lin looked around but did not see them. The two of them were tall and had long legs. They also had outstanding temperaments and were very conspicuous in the crowd.
Bai Lin decided to search the lounge at the back of the banquet hall, but she saw them walking toward her just as she turned the corner and came to the corridor.
She heaved a sigh of relief and went forward.
The door of the resting room at the side suddenly opened, and a gorgeously but lightly dressed woman pounced out. She was about to pounce on Yan Ruo, as if she had come prepared.
In a split second, Yan Ruo pulled Bai Lin over by the hand and the woman pounced on her.
Fortunately, Bai Lin reacted quickly and caught the woman in time. Otherwise, she would have been knocked into.
The woman had calculated the exact time to open the door and pounced forward with her eyes closed. She only felt a pair of strong hands holding her firmly, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Bai Lin looked down and saw the woman’s snow-white mounds wrapped in a low-cut dress. They even bounced slightly because of her action.
Bai Lin’s face reddened at the sight of the deep cleavage. She raised her head to look at Yan Ruo and Xuan Jing, but the two of them had already turned their heads to the other side, as if they were trying to avoid looking rude.
Bai Lin thought, ‘d.a.m.n it! You actually used me as a shield!’
The woman looked timid and a little frightened. She slowly raised her head from a 45-degree angle on the right where she looked the prettiest.
She met with Bai Lin’s eyes.
The woman blinked her long false eyelashes. “Who are you?”
In the next second, Bai Lin’s cold expression almost froze her. The woman actually felt a chill in the manor with central air-conditioning. She felt gooseb.u.mps on her arms.
“Hahaha.” Bai Lin smiled awkwardly. “I’m your sixth uncle.”
A person who looked like an a.s.sistant suddenly came out of the door and said to Bai Lin angrily, “What are you saying? Our Shuang’er accidentally tripped, that’s all. How can you speak so vulgarly?!”
This female celebrity, Shuanger, had been developing her career in Country H for a long time. She had only returned to Hua recently after her contract expired, so she did not know much about the domestic entertainment industry.
She had actually calmed down quite a bit. She recognized Bai Lin, but she was a little embarra.s.sed. After shaking off Bai Lin’s hand, she finally managed to stand up. To meet Yan Ruo, the high heels she was wearing today were actually very uncomfortable.
The a.s.sistant held Shuanger up and introduced Bai Lin to her. “Shuanger, this is Bai Lin. She’s just become famous because of a reality TV show.”
This was Shuang’er’s first time seeing Bai Lin up close. When she heard about Bai Lin in the past, she did not know much about her. She just listened and only had a vague impression.
At such a close distance, Shuang’er’s scrutinizing gaze was almost naked, and Bai Lin felt a little uncomfortable.
If one were to use Country H t s standards to judge a woman, Bai Lin would be an unqualified woman.
Not only did she not put on any makeup, but she was also dressed like a man at such an event. She even swore outside. This was a sign of no female virtue.
However, Shuang’er’s return to the country was only partly due to the expiration of her contract. Basically, it was because she could not accept the daily forced “disciplining” of how a woman should be like.
She actually admired people like Bai Lin, but when she saw Yan Ruo standing beside her, she more or less understood the truth of the rumors.
In the beginning, her idea was indeed to b.u.mp into Yan Ruo. If she was lucky, she could get some resources. If she was unlucky, she could just treat it as taking an advantage of the handsome the top actor. It was not a loss.
Now that Bai Lin had ruined her plan, she was not angry. She just raised her hand and touched her sideburn. Her face instantly changed into an apologetic smile. She subconsciously called out “Sorry, senior.” in Country H t s language and even used a respectful term of address as she bowed out of habit.
When she lowered her head and saw Bai Lin’s plain cloth shoes, she suddenly realized that she was no longer in Country H. She quickly changed her tone and said in Chinese, “I’m sorry, Miss Bai, for accidentally b.u.mping into you just now..”
