I wonder how the person who has been plotting against Xiao Man behind the scenes would feel knowing she turned the spider they intended to scare her with into a pet? Their heart must be in a state of collapse...
"Sister Man, shall I ask the event organizer to replace your dress?"
"Itâs okay, Iâm not a cleanliness freak."
After placing the red rose, Xiao Man directly took off the gown that the spider had crawled over.
Eleven was shocked. Even if she wasnât a cleanliness freak, she would certainly not dare to wear clothes that had been crawled over by such a terrifying spider. But Xiao Man was quite nonchalant...
Who spread the rumor that Xiao Man is difficult to deal with? Sheâs even easier to deal with than Ye Yang!
"Shall we tell the head of the mall about this, and investigate whoâs behind all this?"
"It doesnât matter. Itâs just a harmless prank. It would only become a big deal if we really start investigating."
Eleven was confused: "Why?"
She saw in the mirror ahead that Xiao Man gave a small laugh, but didnât say anything. So Eleven didnât ask any more about it.
"Sister Man, is the show biz really that deep? Are there many people who talk ill about you behind your back?"
Last time it was Lin Qiang, this time itâs the tarantula. Out of the three times she has interacted with her, twice someone had harmful intentions towards her. Isnât that probability a bit too high?
"When youâre popular, you attract criticism, just get used to it."
It seems like Xiao Man has seen through all of this, remaining calm and composed. Eleven thought that Xiao Man, though only four years older than her, seemed to have experienced quite a lot.
"The waters are surely deep, but as long as you know how to swim, youâll be fine. Just make sure that you wonât drown and can swim adequately, then it doesnât matter."
Xiao Man has been in this industry for so long, and now she is at her peak, holding a high position. Surely, there must be a good many people who wouldnât mind seeing her drown.
"Could you help me zip this up?"
"Knock--" Someone was knocking at the door again.
"Who is it?"
There was no answer from outside the door. Xiao Man, slightly startled, said to Eleven, "Open the door."
Eleven was confused, she didnât hear anyoneâs name. But once she opened the door and saw the tall silhouette standing outside, she instantly understood.
Although she didnât know how Xiao Man had figured it out, it seemed like she knew the visitor was Li Sinian, which was why she asked her to open the door.
Li Sinianâs expression didnât change even when he saw the stranger, Eleven, in the room. Further, she wasnât a stranger; he had a great memory and remembered that she had been present that day too.
Behind him stood several men in black, all of them radiating an intimidating presence. Eleven unconsciously stepped aside.
Whatâs with this Li Sinian... he seemed to emit a force field that kept everyone five meters away.
None of the people outside showed any intention of coming in. Eleven gave them a small smile but they ignored her, so she closed the door in disappointment.
Li Sinian had an imposing aura, his piercing gaze fell on the red rose.
Eleven saw that Xiao Man followed his gaze. Now standing before him, she rested both hands on his arm and grinned at him: "Mr. Li, what brought you here?"
Standing behind them, Eleven thought Xiao Manâs smile was beautiful. She possessed a certain quality that she herself lacked, but couldnât quite identify what it was.
However, Li Sinian didnât respond. He gently pushed her hands away, walked over to the table, and picked up the red rose.
