Chapter 401: Chapter 401: That Qiao Xi Won’t Last Many Days

Lin Xifei spoke in rare kind words, "Miss Huo, my assistant broke the foundation bottle, and I will compensate you double for it. Just let the little assistant clean it up; why do you have to humiliate me? Today was my fault, and I will treat you both to dinner another day."

Huo Sijiao looked her over.

Then suddenly laughed.

"How shameless can you be? If it had been someone else today, they probably would have been driven away by now!"

"Lin Xifei, although the media don’t dare expose your diva behavior and bullying of colleagues because of Young Master Zhong’s pressure, I know about it. You forced young stars to put your shoes on and lift your skirt for you, verbally humiliated them, slapped them, and schmoozed with the big bosses for favors. All these things are more excessive than what I have done, aren’t they?"

Huo Sijiao said coldly, "A mistress of Young Master Zhong can only strut around in the entertainment industry! Today, this foundation has to be cleaned up by you!"

Lin Xifei’s face flushed red as she looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Young Madam Huo, do you also want to watch Miss Huo bully people like this?"

Qiao Xi remained calm, certainly not going to slap her own face.

"Jiaojiao is protecting me, not bullying. Your assistant is your person and is also acting arrogant because of your power. So, please do it."

"You all..."

Lin Xifei, holding back her anger, said, "Fine, I will clean up."

She bent down and picked up the broken glass pieces one by one. Her delicate manicure was covered in foundation, a mess on her hands. Anger filled her heart as she wiped off the foundation from the floor with a wet wipe.

Filled with shame.

Finally, she threw the rubbish fiercely into the bin and said, "Is that okay now? Can I leave?"

Qiao Xi said, "Wait a minute."

"What else does Young Madam Huo have to say!"

Qiao Xi looked at her face and asked, "Who is your sugar daddy from the Zhong Family?"

Lin Xifei’s face turned pale and green in turns, seeing the curious and gossipy looks from the outside staff, feeling even more humiliated. The entertainment industry knew she had a powerful backer, but they didn’t know she was a mistress.

The eldest son of the Zhong Family was married, for over a decade.

Now everyone knew she was someone’s mistress!

Who knows how they were talking behind her back!

Qiao Xi insisted, "Is it the eldest or the second son?"

Lin Xifei gritted her back teeth and said, "The Zhong Family only has the eldest son; a bastard child cannot count as the real Young Master. Surely, Young Madam Huo, you don’t have any relationship with the Zhong Family’s bastard child?"

"Oh, then it’s the eldest."

"What do you mean by asking this, Young Madam Huo?"

Qiao Xi’s lips curved up slightly, speaking casually, "The second son of the Zhong Family has a collaboration with my husband. If your sugar daddy is him, I’d have to persuade my husband to be cautious about this cooperation. After all, his taste isn’t that great..."

"You..."

Lin Xifei was extremely aggrieved.

She didn’t manage to please anyone and turned around to leave. Her retreating figure looked hurried and flustered, seething with anger.

"Everyone disperse, get back to your positions."

"Lin Xifei’s sugar daddy is the eldest son of the Zhong Family, no wonder she thinks so highly of herself. No one in the entertainment industry dares offend her, how capable she is! I’ve got to tell this juicy gossip to my friends."

"I’m so happy, I finally saw Lin Xifei take a hit. She’s bullied the staff more than once before..."

...

The responsible staff member apologized to Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao, saying that the TV station was negligent in causing them to be disturbed. They sent some station-related gifts before leaving.

Huo Sijiao closed the door, finally at peace.

She laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you to be so irritating when you talk. Now everyone knows she is a mistress, and the eldest son of the Zhong Family is famously infertile."

Qiao Xi spoke softly, "Let’s hurry up and eat, we have plans this afternoon."

"Okay!"

Huo Sijiao considerately said, "Qingqing must have been scared by the teacher. Don’t be afraid, if Lin Xifei dares to trouble you, just call me."

The makeup artist shook her head and said, "Although she’s arrogant, she’s also sensible. She probably won’t trouble me, and she’ll definitely not ask me to do her makeup again."

"That’s good."

Huo Sijiao opened the signature dishes from Jinling Grand Hotel one by one, releasing a rich aroma.

As she arranged the dishes, she said, "Sister-in-law, the audience at the broadcast studio has started to come in to wait. I saw someone familiar."

"Who?"

"Xu Yunye."

It should have been two familiar faces, as Xu Yunye was holding a child in his arms.

Hearing this name, Qiao Xi felt a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected him to come...

"He must be here to watch sister-in-law’s interview. He didn’t use any special privileges and entered with the regular audience, which shows he’s really considerate." Even Huo Sijiao couldn’t find fault with Xu Yunye, perhaps twins really do have a kind of telepathy.

Xu Yunye had always been at odds with Xu Xingluo, the famously feuding siblings from Haicheng.

Qiao Xi’s eyes lowered slightly, feeling a touch of warmth inside.

...

In another makeup room.

Lin Xifei dropped her bag and plopped down in front of the vanity, yelling angrily, "Everyone get out."

"Yes."

The assistants didn’t dare to provoke her further. In the film crew, Lin Xifei was known for her mood swings.

The door closed gently.

Tears started falling from Lin Xifei’s eyes, she was crying from anger.

She took out her phone from her bag and immediately called the top contact, sobbing, "Lingxiao, I miss you so much."

Lin Xifei could be so brazen only because she had the backing of the Zhong Family’s eldest son, Zhong Lingxiao. Even Zhong Lingxiao’s grandmother was aware of her existence. Zhong Lingxiao had fertility issues, but Lin Xifei was the only one who had ever been pregnant with his child.

Even though she had an unfortunate miscarriage, Zhong Lingxiao was particularly fond of her.

This led to Lin Xifei being arrogant and overbearing.

"Why is my baby crying? Have you been wronged?"

Lin Xifei, tears streaming down her face, exaggerated as she recounted the day’s events. She also complained, "That Young Madam Huo even said I must be blind to fall for you, saying you’re not as good as that bastard."

That was a sore point for Zhong Lingxiao.

He couldn’t stand anyone saying he was lesser than a bastard. If not for the difficulty in producing an heir, why would the Zhong Family ever acknowledge that lowlife?

His tone was calm, "Don’t cry, baby. That Young Madam Huo won’t be smug for much longer. The Grand Finale of the Test Needle Conference is coming up soon, and Huo Xingzhou doesn’t have that much power in the Imperial Capital. The Lu Family won’t let Cheng Han’s apprentice off easily either. I’ll make sure you get justice then."

It was a matter of time before her days were numbered.

Lin Xifei’s tears turned into laughter, "I knew you cared about me. Lingxiao, I’ve missed you so much while I was abroad. Once I finish recording the show, I’ll return to the Imperial Capital and be with you."

"Don’t come back just yet, do something for me first."

Zhong Lingxiao’s voice was steady and calm, "I’ve already arranged your hotel accommodation. Zhong Yi is staying there, keep an eye on him for me. Observe when he leaves his room and what he’s up to. Even if he goes to the restaurant or has coffee, report everything to me."

Lin Xifei asked, puzzled, "Why should I keep an eye on that bastard?"
