Cheng Bing nodded in half-understanding, without asking further.
Gu Tong had never been one to be ruthless. This little girl had helped her so much, she’d surely get the reward she deserved. Given her character, Gu Tong wouldn’t just leave it at that.
So, there was no need for Cheng Bing to worry.
Thinking of this, she felt overwhelmingly pleased, leaned back on her chair, and said, "It’s truly worth staying up several late nights to watch this performance! Make sure not to forget next ti there’s such an opportunity!"
Cheng Bing could see it clearly—Gu Tong was thoroughly at odds with Qiu Xue, and there were definitely going to be consecutive dramas ahead, filled with confrontation and exciting performances.
She always loved being in the thick of the action, so she naturally wouldn’t miss such a good show.
Gu Tong smiled faintly without saying a word, watching Qiu Xue taking a bow on stage, a cold, chilling smile appearing on her lips. If this was the end, it would be too easy for her!
...
"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."
Back in the backstage, Qiu Xue shut the door to the dressing room, finally finding an outlet for her temper, furiously sweeping the items off the counter. Expensive costics shattered on the floor, and she didn’t care.
She wished that those items were Bei Jiafei, being smashed into pieces by her.
Dai Xiang pushed open the dressing room door and saw the scene. Though she knew Qiu Xue was extrely angry, she hadn’t expected her to completely lose control.
However, since she was already inside, there was no turning back. She shrunk her shoulders, stepped forward, and said, "Sister Qiu Xue, what’s wrong..."
Qiu Xue’s eyes, like torches, bore into Dai Xiang, filled with malice, feeling as if she was asking the obvious.
Dai Xiang shuddered, realizing she had said the wrong thing, and said, "This incident was an accident, no one expected that Bei Jiafei could sing and even deliberately stole your spotlight upfront..."
"Are you implying that I’m inferior to her!"
In just a few hours, Qiu Xue seed to have gone through a nightmare of a lifeti. The confidence she was once so sure of had completely vanished, leaving only a profound sense of defeat.
Though she always knew her singing wasn’t as good as Bei Jiafei’s, she never expected the gap to be so wide...
It was simply worlds apart...
"No, no, of course not..." Dai Xiang hurriedly explained, "What I ant is... She perford without permission this ti, breaking discipline. Once her hype dies down, the troupe will punish her, causing trouble in the troupe..."
The best way now was to co up with strategies to cover her slip of the tongue.
Dai Xiang knew that what she was saying must align with Qiu Xue’s thoughts.
Only at this did Qiu Xue’s rage calm a bit, and she said, "Kicking her out isn’t enough!"
Just thinking of Bei Jiafei’s voice made her uneasy; the only way to feel secure was to completely destroy it.
"Of course, it’s not enough... She’s in the lilight, and there will be unforeseen gaps no matter how careful she is. By then, I..."
"Just handle it yourself!" Qiu Xue didn’t want to hear the rest of her plan, knowing it was just another tactic to silence Bei Jiafei. She had already made a move once before, Dai Xiang was experienced.
As for the next steps, she had no interest in getting involved.
This was fine, this was best.
Only by eradicating the roots could Qiu Xue’s heart truly be at peace!
Dai Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that this young lady had cald down, or else she would have been implicated as well.
However, just at this mont...
"Sothing’s wrong, sothing’s wrong..."
The dressing room door opened, and Dai Xiang’s little sidekick rushed in.
