Rebuked by Song Qianqian, Li Ruobai felt extremely wronged.
However, at this moment, Li Ruobai really wanted to roll his eyes. Whose fault was this? His?
He had clearly told her to pay attention to her image on a daily basis. Yet this woman would yell and scream at every turn, and the image she had painstakingly built was now almost ruined.
"Come on, my lady, stop throwing a tantrum," he cursed inwardly. "Humph, I always have to clean up your mess. It's always like this. One day when I find another client, I'll ditch you right away."
On the surface, Li Ruobai pretended to be extremely obedient to her, but deep down, he was extremely dark - hearted and had long been thinking about getting rid of Song Qianqian as soon as possible.
Song Qianqian didn't know what was on his mind. After glaring at him, she quickly put on a gentle and docile look and gave a gentle smile to those around her. The contrast between this look and her roaring appearance just now was so sharp that even the Sichuan Opera face - changing couldn't be as swift as her.
"Sorry, sorry. I was a bit angry just now. Don't be scared by me," she immediately acted very docile and greeted the staff in the studio in a soft voice, even apologizing.
The people around had nothing much to say. Looking at the stark contrast of her two appearances, they only thought that this woman was really a great actress. They all nodded to show their understanding.
Song Qianqian immediately pretended to be very gentle and docile as she walked in and found a chair to sit down. She thought she had done a good job in dealing with the aftermath just now, but she didn't know that Xia Hankong, who had been standing in the corner, had seen everything clearly.
Xia Hankong saw the sharp change in her attitude. A flash of contempt and disdain passed through his eyes.
Actually, there were many such people in the entertainment industry. In order to create the best version of themselves, they often had to cater to the public and their fans' preferences on the screen, becoming this kind of persona. In fact, their on - screen image was completely different from their real self.
Some people were actually quite free - spirited and lively in character, but due to their looks or the preferences of the audience and fans, they were forced to act in a cold and aloof manner.
This phenomenon was very common, but in Xia Hankong's view, it was completely unnecessary. At the same time, he despised this. A persona should not be given by others but by oneself. So he always looked down on such pretentious actors.
He took a couple of glances at Song Qianqian and then withdrew his gaze, continuing to stare at his phone.
However, he didn't know that while he didn't want to look at Song Qianqian, she had already spotted him. Song Qianqian never dreamed that Xia Hankong was still in the studio.
Just now at the shooting site outside, when she saw Qin Qiao'er coming out, she thought that both Xia Hankong and Zhao Youting had left. She never expected that there was still a treasure waiting for her.
She immediately became overjoyed and quickly walked up to Xia Hankong like a sycophant. Seeing her like this, Li Ruobai behind her couldn't help but frown.
Originally, he wanted to step forward and grab her hand, but unexpectedly, this woman was quite fast and rushed in front of Xia Hankong in a flash.
"Xia Hankong, I didn't expect you to still be here. Did you come here especially to wait for me?" she asked confidently.
After being pestered by Song Qianqian several times, Xia Hankong had already seen the true nature of this woman, that is, she had a thicker skin than anyone else.
Li Ruobai, following behind Song Qianqian, almost couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead when he heard what she said.
Oh my god! He wailed in his heart. Where on earth did this weirdo come from? How could she say such a shameless thing? If he were Xia Hankong, he would have kicked this woman away long ago.
But Xia Hankong had roughly understood in recent days that there should be some feud between Song Qianqian and Qin Qiao'er. Otherwise, Qin Qiao'er wouldn't have been so repulsed by this woman. So he no longer gave her any good looks. His expression was calm, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He didn't say a word, but he couldn't stand Song Qianqian's persistent pestering.
Her eyes were fixed on Xia Hankong's handsome face. The other's eyes were as black as night, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a glistening liquid flickering inside, looking like the stars in the sky. Before she knew it, she was a bit lost in them and almost drooled.
She looked like a complete fangirl. Being stared at so intently by her, Xia Hankong felt extremely annoyed. He looked up impatiently. "Ms. Song, if you have nothing to do, please don't bother me. Thank you."
After saying this, he immediately lowered his head again and continued looking at his phone, not willing to pay any more attention to this woman.
Maybe the words he had just said weren't tough enough. For a woman as thick - skinned as Song Qianqian, it didn't matter at all.
"Who said that? I do have something to do. I came to find you for something," she said with a smile.
She slowly moved a few steps closer to him. Vaguely, she could smell a faint scent of cologne on Xia Hankong, as well as a very pleasant masculine smell.
She was completely infatuated. She thought to herself that she must make this man fall at her feet today.
This man had a mysterious, gentlemanly and elegant aura. At the same time, she had done some investigations. It was said that Xia Hankong was the son of a company's boss, a young master with a family fortune of tens of billions. If she could marry him, she would definitely become a wealthy lady!
Just thinking about this possibility made her extremely excited. So she shamelessly leaned in again.
"Xia... Hankong, can I call you Hankong? I see you're quite familiar with Sister Qin Qiao'er. I..."
"Sorry, I prefer others to call me Mr. Xia," Xia Hankong gave her a disdainful look and continued looking at his phone, saying casually.
"Moreover, I don't seem to be familiar with you."
"How... how could that be?" Song Qianqian immediately felt extremely embarrassed. But with her thick skin, she continued to pester Xia Hankong and said, "Even though we're not familiar now, we'll get to know each other better as we get along later."
The other woman stared at him with her almond - shaped eyes, looking like a fangirl and a money - grubber. It made Xia Hankong feel inexplicably irritated.
This woman must be crazy. He looked at Song Qianqian as if she were a mental patient and couldn't help but reach out his hand towards her.
