Chapter 37 -37 Digging Pits for Each Other
Bo Xiangxiang originally thought that her team was selling the fastest and earning a fair amount of money, so the ingredients they bought should have also been the most.
But comparing with Luo Ning’s team, their ingredients seemed monotonous and few.
Bo Xiangxiang suppressed her dissatisfaction, stood up proactively, and asked with a smile, “Mr. Lu, Teacher Luo, have you sold out everything you brought too?”
Lu Xun remained expressionless and did not speak, while Luo Ning casually nodded, “Mhm.”
“You guys actually bought so many ingredients, you must have made a lot of money, right?” Bo Xiangxiang persisted.
Lu Xun found a seat, poured himself a glass of water to drink, and also poured one for Luo Ning, ignoring Bo Xiangxiang.
His status was evident, and he was not a warm person by nature, usually acting in a cool manner, so nobody found it strange.
However, Bo Xiangxiang’s fans came out saying Lu Xun was too arrogant, but they were immediately retorted by his fans.
“God Lu has the right to be arrogant. Who cares if he doesn’t want to deal with Bo Xiangxiang? No problem at all.”
Luo Ning threw a glance at Bo Xiangxiang, “Secret!”
Bo Xiangxiang choked: “…”
“Are your two teams going to sell together and also eat together at night?” Bo Xiangxiang forced a smile and continued to ask.
The director did not allow freeloaders, but he didn’t say they couldn’t team up.
Luo Ning initially didn’t want to bother with her but changed her tune upon hearing this, “Yeah, we’ll team up.”
She then asked, “Are you teaming up with Teacher Ji’s team?”
Bo Xiangxiang nodded and said with a smile, “After selling our stuff, we helped Teacher Ji’s team sell, then we shopped for ingredients together.”
Meaning they were going to have dinner together with Ji Xinghang.
She just wanted to annoy Luo Ning and hoped she would say something unpleasant and bitter in public. That would be even better.
Ji Xinghang frowned slightly. Although he had gone shopping with them, he didn’t say he would team up with Bo Xiangxiang’s team, but since she said it like that, he didn’t correct her.
Luo Ning was waiting for this moment, her smile deep with meaning, “You and Teacher Ji seem very close. You must have been acquainted before.”
Bo Xiangxiang did not expect Luo Ning to suddenly say that, and now how should she respond?
If she said they were close, Star Fans would definitely criticize her since unlike Luo Ning, she couldn’t afford to be scolded for clout-chasing Ji Xinghang.
But if she said they weren’t close, and then when a suitable photo surfaced on the trending searches later, how would she explain it?
“We’ve recently filmed a drama together, so that’s how we met,” Ji Xinghang spoke up first.
Originally, he became acquainted with Bo Xiangxiang because she risked her life to help him, and that’s why he had always taken care of her.
However, apart from Luo Ning, he didn’t wish to create sensational news with any other woman, including Bo Xiangxiang.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Luo Ning to take the initiative to post on Weibo last time.
Bo Xiangxiang smiled and said, “Yes, Teacher Ji and I met on a drama set. He’s a really nice person and took good care of us.”
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
“So, you met him only during the drama. I thought you knew him from before,” Luo Ning said meaningfully.
She knew that the only reason Bo Xiangxiang got onto the crew was due to the manipulations of Yan Qiuping.
He had someone replace the original second female lead with Bo Xiangxiang, and hence there was no promotion when she joined the crew, but the drama did eventually become a big hit.
Because she performed well on this variety show, Bo Xiangxiang’s popularity soared, thus her role as the second female even overshadowed the lead female.
Not many people knew about the casting change, but it was still possible to dig it out.
She was purposely setting a trap for Bo Xiangxiang.
Bo Xiangxiang wanted to say that she had known Ji Xinghang for a long time, but she couldn’t, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.
“Yes, we met on the set.”
Bo Xiangxiang also wanted to set a trap for Luo Ning, “Teacher Luo, you must have known Teacher Ji for quite some time, right?”
She knew about the relationship between Luo Ning and Ji Xinghang, and as long as Luo Ning denied it now, once the news got out and was confirmed later, Luo Ning’s reputation as a liar would be irrevocably tarnished.
However, Luo Ning didn’t fall into Bo Xiangxiang’s expectations but confidently nodded her head, “Indeed, we have known each other from childhood, we attended the same school through elementary, middle, high school, and university, and Teacher Ji’s mother and my mother are best friends.”
This fact had never been leaked before. Originally, when Ji Xinghang’s mother was being badly slandered, she wanted to announce that she had been Ji Xinghang’s fiancée for a long time, but it was either deliberately delayed by Yan Qiuping or suddenly some inexplicable events prevented it from being successfully announced.
Like this time, when she was brutally criticized because of the trending searches and Ji’s mother had gone abroad to treat her niece’s illness just before the incident occurred, hence she was unaware of it.
She had always found it strange before, but later she realized that it was due to the power of the book.
In her previous life, she was constantly criticized because of the trending search issue and was forced to leave after participating in one episode of this variety show. Ji’s mother only found out about this after she came back, then scolded Ji Xinghang and had Mr. Ji use his connections to suppress the trending search issue.
If the fact that she and Ji Xinghang had grown up together and their mothers were best friends had been publicized, she would not have been criticized so harshly in her previous life.
This showed that she and Ji Xinghang had known each other long ago, and it was not just a scheme to cling onto his popularity.
She could see Bo Xiangxiang was trying to undermine her and might very likely use this fact against her in the future, so it was better for her to reveal it herself more openly.
Moreover, she intentionally exposed this during the live broadcast, believing that public opinion would soon shift, especially after that incident was revealed later.
As expected, upon hearing these words, both the trainees present and those watching the live stream were stunned.
Bo Xiangxiang didn’t expect Luo Ning to publicly disclose her childhood friendship with Ji Xinghang. She instinctively felt that things shouldn’t be developing this way, as if something was completely slipping out of control.
“So, you’ve known each other for that long.” She forced a smile and then looked towards Ji Xinghang, “I hadn’t heard Teacher Ji mention this before.”
She always contacted Yan Qiuping privately about matters, Ji Xinghang was unaware.
Ji Xinghang’s sternly handsome face broke into a rare smile, “Indeed, Luo Ning and I have grown up together and are very close.”
Right after he finished speaking, Luo Ning added from beside him, “However, now that we’ve grown up, the last trending search issue led to a huge misunderstanding by the netizens, and I was almost wrongfully blamed.”
“That’s why I realized that even with friends you’ve grown up with, it’s still necessary to maintain a distance. I’m not clinging to Teacher Ji’s popularity, so a breakup was inevitable.”
Luo Ning continued, “I’m just curious about who the other person mentioned in the trending searches is, so charming that they capsized the boat of our twenty years of friendship.”
Ji Xinghang’s expression changed, and just as he was about to explain and was prepared to reveal that the woman was Bo Xiangxiang, a cold look from Luo Ning, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, froze him.
All his words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken, and his heart couldn’t help but twist.
He knew how Luo Ning was; she wouldn’t let the trending search issue go that easily.
Remembering how she had distinctly told him not to interfere that day, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had reined in all his emotions.
He didn’t expect her to be criticized so harshly for the trending search issue and understood why she was unwilling to admit it and why she became angry enough to break up.
This was his debt to her, she may handle it any way she saw fit.
Thus, he didn’t speak, as if by his silence he was affirming Luo Ning’s words.
