The staff member was caught in a dilemma, his face wrinkled with worry.
Xue Xiaoqi stepped into the studio unhappily.
"Where is she?"
"She... should be changing clothes..."
Xue Xiaoqi was furious, but managed to hold back her temper out of good manners.
Tian Danni, not afraid of causing more trouble, crossed her legs and sipped the fragrant coffee. After finishing, she couldn't help but praise it.
"The coffee from the Bo family is really good. I'll ask Su Minghan to throw away all that bitter and astringent stuff when I get back."
Xiao Shujing came out of the dressing room, pale - lipped and clutching the strap of her backpack. As soon as she looked up, she saw Xue Xiaoqi on the verge of losing her temper.
"I'm really sorry, President Xue. I'm out of energy and can't do the fitting anymore."
"Teacher Xiao, I really sympathize with your physical condition, but there are only two sets of clothes left. Can't you hold on? It'll be quick."
"I don't want to do the fitting. Why are you forcing me?"
She looked pitiful with tears in her eyes, as if it wasn't her fault. Xue Xiaoqi stared at her with wide eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a scheming girl.
"If you couldn't finish the fitting all at once, why didn't you tell me in advance? The time you're wasting now is not just mine, but also that of the Su family, the Bo family, and our A Hairui."
Her tone was already quite gentle. If it were someone else, Xue Xiaoqi would have scolded them without mercy.
Do artists get to act like big - shots? Do they get to do whatever they want?
If so, how could she run her company and support her employees?
Suddenly, Xiao Shujing shed tears and choked with a heavy nasal voice.
"I really don't feel well. Can you stop forcing me?"
"I'll do it. I'll try the last two sets."
Tian Danni couldn't stand their argument any longer and came in to defuse the situation.
"I'm about the same height and build as Shujing, though I might be a bit fatter. If the clothes are too tight, you can modify them according to her size." She said with a smile.
Then she turned her eyes to Xiao Shujing.
"I'll wear them, and you can just sit there and rest. If you don't like the color or style, just say so."
Xiao Shujing glared at her angrily but said nothing. How could her dresses be tried on by this young girl?
"Maybe I should still..."
"It's settled. I'll go change." Tian Danni didn't give her a chance. She took the clothes from the staff member and went into the dressing room.
Xue Xiaoqi pursed her lips to hold back a smile and leaned against the door with her arms crossed. From time to time, she glanced at Xiao Shujing.
Xiao Shujing sat there, her face pale with anger, but she couldn't say a word. It seemed that only a tough person could deal with a scheming girl like her.
After leaving the Bo family's place, Xiao Shujing inexplicably sat in the back seat. Tian Danni stood there, stunned. "Do you still get carsick? You can sit in the front if you want."
"What are you dawdling about? Don't you know I'm not feeling well?"
Tian Danni was completely dumbfounded. She opened the passenger - side door and got in. This person was really strange. She had helped her out, but it seemed like she had done something wrong.
When they got back to the apartment, Tian Danni received a call from Su Minghan.
"Boss, you're checking up on me right after I get home?"
His tone was full of dissatisfaction. "What did you do to Shujing?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"She cried and told me you bullied her! She finally got better today. Why couldn't you just give in to her?"
Only then did Tian Danni realize what was going on. So she had gone to tattle on her!
"Brother, have you even figured out what really happened before coming to blame me?"
Su Minghan sat on the leather sofa, his eyebrows knitted together.
"Why didn't you let her sit in the back seat with you?"
"She said she gets carsick and wanted to sit in the front. How can you blame this on me?"
"She has a cold! It's because of the wind. She likes to act coquettishly and say the opposite of what she means. If she wanted to sit in the front, couldn't you just pull her to the back seat?"
"..." Tian Danni was completely speechless. This man was clearly blinded by love and wasn't thinking rationally.
"Also, Shujing is the spokesperson. Why did you try on the clothes for her?"
Su Minghan was just angry. He felt that his girlfriend had been wronged and he had to stand up for her.
"She said she wasn't feeling well and almost had an argument with President Xue in the studio. If you don't believe me, you can go ask President Xue. See if I'm making things up or if your delicate girlfriend is lying!" Tian Danni's emotions flared up and she shouted back.
Xiao Shujing had bewitched him to such an extent. It seemed that no matter what she did, it was all in vain and self - inflicted.
Hearing her angry tone, Su Minghan paused for a moment and didn't say a word. After a long time, he finally said in a low voice, "Sorry, I was... I was just too excited."
Tian Danni's eyes felt hot, but she forced herself not to show it. She didn't want to appear weak in front of him.
"Su Minghan, look at yourself. You don't look like an heir at all. In your eyes, Xiao Shujing is perfect and always right. What am I? Don't forget that I just got out of the hospital too!"
The call was cut off with a beeping sound.
Su Minghan angrily threw his phone aside, leaned back on the sofa with his head tilted up, and stared blankly at the ceiling, filled with regret. This sense of helplessness was really torturous.
When Xiao Shujing called, Su Minghan didn't know why, but he just wanted to protect her unconditionally. He didn't even analyze the credibility of the things she said. Maybe she just wanted to play a little trick on Tian Danni and act coquettishly. But he had made the situation worse.
"Damn it!"
"Who are you annoyed at?" Su Hao came in with a straight face.
Su Minghan immediately stood up and pulled his thoughts back.
"Father."
"I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. I thought you had gone out again."
He sat down beside him and sized him up.
"What happened? You look so down."
Su Minghan sighed. "It's nothing. Just had a little argument with Danni."
"Danni?" Su Hao was delighted. "That Tian Danni?" He didn't expect this girl to act so quickly. She was worth cultivating.
"Yeah..."
Seeing him so dejected, Su Hao laughed and patted him on the back.
"Hey, why get angry with a girl? Just buy her a bunch of flowers and send them to her tomorrow. Artists nowadays are different from before. They have their own thoughts and emotions. Don't let her get angry and run to another entertainment company one day. You'll regret it then."
Su Minghan suddenly remembered what Bo Jingyu had told him before. He said he saw Xue Xiaoqi meeting Tian Danni privately. That girl was always so arrogant and self - willed. There was a possibility that she might really run to A Hairui if she got angry.
He didn't want to become her opponent. After all, Tian Danni's popularity was still quite high, and there were also many calls for her to go back and develop abroad. But Su Minghan knew better than anyone about the treatment in the branch company.
Right now, he had to keep her, whether for personal reasons or for the sake of interests.
"I understand, Father."
Seeing that he had figured it out, Su Hao felt much better.
"I'm going to visit an old friend this afternoon. Come with me."
