Chapter 399: 368 A double win, Tang Su did not cooperate at all (2 updates)_1

But she still didn’t leave.

As for why she didn’t leave, Tang Su also felt a bit puzzled—after all, their conversation just now hadn’t been that pleasant.

And she, too, didn’t like chatting with her.

Shen Tian felt very uncomfortable after being rebuffed by Tang Su like that, but there was no helping it; when Tang Su had come in earlier, Xia Tao had sent a message through his assistant asking her to greet Tang Su.

She had refused at that time, saying she didn’t get along with Tang Su.

Xia Tao said he didn’t care whether she got along with that girl or not, but he knew that both Bai Dingkai and Bai Simen were nice to her, and it would be good if Shen Tian could find a way to get closer to them.

What the real situation was didn’t matter at all.

What the public wants to see is generally just the superficial rights and wrongs.

It was then that Shen Tian understood.

In fact, she was very jealous of Tang Su in her heart.

When Tang Su was with Ye Sichen, Ye Sichen could be said to have catered to her every need.

Although the two of them had broken up, it was just as those who had been there said: the unattainable is always the most desirable, the unreachable, the silver moon.

Back then, all she needed to do was to tempt him a little, and Ye Sichen would eagerly help her with anything.

When she was under a lot of pressure, Ye Sichen would also stay up all night to chat with her and comfort her.

As a result, he would have no time to spend with his girlfriend on weekends and instead would hide at home to catch up on sleep.

Some time ago, Tang Su had broken up with him, and she hadn’t officially gotten back together with Ye Sichen, just that they had been seen together more frequently.

However, during that period, she noticed that Ye Sichen was no longer as attentive to her as before and instead became jumpy at every little thing concerning Tang Su.

Haha, men are really such strange creatures.

She found herself strange too—it was clearly an issue with the man, yet she particularly disliked Tang Su; every time she saw her, she felt uncomfortable inside.

Ironically, Tang Su was very likeable to others.

And it could have been anyone else, but Bai Dingkai held the reins to her life, and Xia Tao had said to stop focusing on Ye Sichen, as the Ye Family was about to be done for, and to look for a new backer, like Bai Dingkai.

It would be helpful to her career as well.

Shen Tian didn’t know how Xia Tao knew that the Ye Family was about to collapse, but she had been protected by Xia Tao all these years in the entertainment industry, achieving what she had today, simply because she was willing to listen to Xia Tao, wasn’t it?

Xia Tao told her not to date, and she really broke up with Ye Sichen immediately, not having announced anything officially for many years.

Also, because she was obedient, even though she had been given enough resources, she still hadn’t become explosively popular, and Xia Tao hadn’t treated her as expendable.

He still wanted to support her as always, willing to invest time and effort in her.

The condition was that she stayed as obedient as before.

Xia Tao wasn’t absolutely forbidding her from dating anymore. At her age, it was okay to date and even to get married and have children. However, according to Xia Tao, the catch was that it had to be someone good for her.

Initially, Xia Tao had been optimistic about Ye Sichen because Ye Sichen’s parental background was decent and could be somewhat helpful. Xia Tao had a formidable network, and when it came to the affairs of the artists under him, he would be informed at the most appropriate time of any significant development.

Shen Tian didn’t know exactly what had happened to the Ye family, but she did as Xia Tao instructed and cut off contact with Ye Sichen.

It had been a while since she had called Ye Sichen, and he had not reached out to her, either.

Today, with Tang Su coming over and conversing so amiably with the two surnamed Bai, Shen Tian had no choice but to brace herself and come over, even though she was reluctant.

She also hoped to glean from Tang Su what exactly had happened to Ye Sichen.

In her eyes, what was a win-win situation, Tang Su simply did not cooperate.

At this time, Bai Simen finished her phone call and came over to Tang Su. When she saw Shen Tian, she hadn’t even spoken before Shen Tian stood up, "Mr. Xiaobai."

In the crew, the two with the surname Bai were both executives. To differentiate them clearly, Bai Dingkai said that from now on, everyone should call him Big Mr. Bai and call Bai Simen Mr. Xiaobai.

Shen Tian was always obedient. Even if the nickname was a bit of a mouthful, devised just for distinction, she still went along and used it.

Other people did the same.

Li Fei didn’t do that, she always called her Simen or Menmen directly.

Although Li Fei was a newcomer, who could ignore the fact that she leaned on a big backer?

Everyone knew that to get by in this circle and to stand firm, one needed to lean on a big backer.

It was a well-understood principle, but not everyone was as lucky as Li Fei.

The backer she found not only did not stop her from filming, but, trying to curry her favor, brought all sorts of resources to her feet and even got impressive people to endorse her.

"Do you know Tang Su?" Bai Simen’s tone was slightly softer, unlike the way she had spoken to Shen Tian earlier.

"Yes," Shen Tian could feel that Bai Simen’s tone had changed because of Tang Su, so she quickly nodded.

"Miss Shen, you’re way too familiar. Simen, she’s my ex’s ex. Just for her dog, my ex slapped me." Tang Su was not a fool; Shen Tian, who had made her uncomfortable just now, wouldn’t get the chance to use her this time.

No matter what Shen Tian wanted to use her for, she minded it a lot.

"...What?" Bai Simen was not expecting there to be such a relationship between the two of them.

Shen Tian’s complexion turned even more thoroughly awkward.

Realizing she had messed everything up and not waiting for Bai Simen’s scrutinizing gaze to sweep over, she slinked away, "Um, Mr. Xiaobai, I need to go to the restroom."

"Okay," Bai Simen nodded and then sat down on the other side of Tang Su, "The ex’s ex, is it what I’m thinking?"

"Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking."

"Then Lu Han must really like you a lot. He completely doesn’t care about your past?"

"Doesn’t he have a past?" Tang Su raised her eyebrows; she knew things that she didn’t believe Bai Simen was unaware of.

His past... what kind of past is that?

However, before Bai Simen could finish her sentence, Li Fei caused trouble again on the other side. Bai Simen sighed; ever since she took on He Jingtian’s job, day after day, she had been busy to the point of no difference from a dog.

She hadn’t even been seated for three seconds, right?

"Sorry, I have to go over and see," she said.

"Sure, go ahead. After all, this is my bookstore, I’m familiar with it, and I don’t feel lonely being alone."

"Okay."

Whether Tang Su was sincere or just trying to comfort her to leave with a peaceful mind, Bai Simen accepted Tang Su’s kindness.

Before long, Sun Qing came over.

However, she couldn’t enter; the security personnel of the crew wouldn’t let her in.

Having no option and unable to make a scene, Sun Qing had no choice but to call Tang Su.

Tang Su was not so powerful; she was the bookstore owner, but she had rented out the space, and knowing Bai Simen was busy, she felt bad adding to her troubles and went to look for Bai Dingkai instead.

When Tang Su found Bai Dingkai, he was smoking in the greening area outside the bookstore, his face full of worries, and his handsome brows furrowed tightly.
