Chapter 318 - Farewell party.

Moonriver cafe-

" Ms. Luo, did something happened to Ms. Jia Fei? She has been like this since morning." Upon hearing the waitress's words, Luo Dan glanced at Jia Fei who was sitting at one of the tables and was staring at her phone in a daze. 

She was like this since morning and was looking solemn. Did something happen to her? She wondered. 

A loud and cheerful girl like Jia Fei, it's not normal for her to sit at one place and be dazed out for hours like this. 

_

" What are you doing?" Luo Dan whispered in Jia Fei's ears, startling her. 

" Ahhh...what the hell are you doing? " Jia Fei almost jumped off her chair when Luo Dan suddenly crept in and whispered in her ears. "Are you taking revenge on me?" 

Luo Dan ignored her words and looked at her phone screen. " You're watching the Knights' music video? I thought you're watching something appropriate. I was about to scold you for being perverted at the cafe during business hours."

" Are you crazy? Why would I do that here?" Jia Fei retorted. " If I have to watch something like that, I will do that at home. In my bedroom." 

Luo Dan clicked her tongue in disgust at her perverted words and commented, " Who knows? You're capable of doing that in the cafe.." Luo Dan muttered, making Jia Fei frown. 

Luo Dan chuckled seeing the pouty expressions of Jia Fei and leaned forward in curiosity, " Why are you suddenly watching their music video? I thought you don't like Xu Nuan. Then why are you watching their MV and increasing their views?" 

Jia Fei's lips twitched as she closed her phone's screen. 

" Ah, did you hear anything about Xu Nuan? How is she now? Is she back from the hospital?" Luo Dan questioned, remembering how Jia Fei took Xu Nuan to the hospital the other day. 

" She was discharged from the hospital the very next day. She wasn't gravely sick, just exhausted. And she made me exhausted by forcing me to take her to the hospital." She commented nonchalantly. 

Although Jia Fei was nonchalant with her words as always, there was something amiss about her.

" Jia Fei, is everything good? You look weird." Luo Dan asked and placed a hand on Jia Fei's hand. 

Jia Fei pursed her lips and was about to deny it, " I am fine, what will-". However, seeing Luo Dan's concerned expressions, she couldn't' help but sigh. 

" I don't know. Something is weird...It's just...so complicated." 

Luo Dan was now concerned. " What happened? Tell me everything that's bothering you. Maybe I can help." She said seriously. They bicker all the time but they both know when to be serious and when not. 

And at this moment, Jia Fei needs someone to hear her words, nothing else.

Jia Fei looked at her and exhaled deeply before saying, " Did you see this music video of The Knights? Don't you think their music is somewhat similar to ours? Like I am not saying that it has been copied or what, but...it sounds like….as if...as if the same person has arranged this song."

" Their music does give similar vibes to our songs but it can be coincidental. And there is no way they can be arranged by the same person. Because our songs were arranged by Sister Jiang-" Luo Dan stopped talking seeing Jia Fei's weird expressions. 

" Jia Fei…" Luo Dan looked at her worriedly. Is she having a hard time accepting Jiang Yue's demise? 

Was she acting fine all along and was thinking about such things alone? This thought made her worried about her emotional well-being. 

Jia Fei frowned seeing Luo Dan giving her all weird looks. " Don't look at me like this. I am fine, absolutely fine."

" It's just….this Xu Nuan...don't you find her quite strange? She says that she is a fan of us yet she bickers with me as if she is my close friend. It's weird. She wasn't even excited like other fans when she saw us for the first time."

" Not only that, the way she talks and makes sarcastic comments, it's very similar to how-

" Sister Jiang Yue used to talk?" Luo Dan said, completing her words. 

Jia Fei nodded. 

" It must be her personality. And many people talk like that. I also felt strange at first seeing how comfortable she was with us and wasn't starstruck when she met us for the first time. However, upon seeing how close she is with Han Liang, I understood why she acted like that."

" She is an artist manager. She sees many celebrities while doing her work, it's normal for her to not be shocked. Don't think much about it."

Jia Fei pursed her lips and wondered if she should tell her about what happened at the hospital. Xu Nuan did give her an excuse for her boyfriend calling her Jiang Yue, but it's too weird. 

Since that day, she can't help but think about the similarities that she and Jiang Yue have. Upon hearing Luo Dan's words, she couldn't help but wonder if she was taking it so seriously.

After resting at Han Zihao's place for a few days, when Xu Nuan joined the company again, everyone was glad to see her. They were worried about her health and it took a while for her to ȧssure everyone that she is fine now. 

While everyone was saying their goodbyes to her and giving her gifts, Wang Meili was watching the drama from afar. Seeing everyone bidding her goodbye and getting emotional, she was feeling nauseous. 

' Why are they making such a fuss about her leaving? What's so special about her?' 

While Xu Nuan was busy saying goodbye to her colleagues and those who helped her and on her side all this while, Wang Meili was just waiting for her exit. There is no reason for her to deal with Xu Nuan anymore. 

'The knights are going to be under her control now, she will teach her the 'actual' meaning of discipline.

Although The knights are insisting on not renewing their contract, she will do everything to convince them to sign the contract after Xu Nuan leaves. She has been working in the industry, longer than Xu Nuan. She knows how to control the artists. 

If they don't want to sign the contract, then she will need to use her ways to make them renew their contract. They're just rookies, how dare they act mighty in front of them?

They're the reason that they got to debut and become hot-shot artists, and now they think that they can do better on their own? Ridiculous. 

After Xu Nuan leaves the company, she will gain her position in the company back again. Everything will go back to as it was before. Perfect. 

_

" Xu Nuan, you cannot leave like this. We will not let you leave without a party. Mr. Tang might have rejected the idea of your official farewell party, but we have planned to give you an unofficial farewell party."

" We have already reserved a restaurant for dinner, so you cannot back out now." Xu Nuan sighed when her colleagues pulled her in for a party. 

She tried to deny it but in the end, she ended up going along with their plan. The girls also joined them, except the Pretty girls and Wang Meili. 

A few girls from Pretty Girls were tempted to go with them as they like Xu Nuan, who is charming and good at leading her group, unlike Wang Meili. They want to be friends with The Knights and Xu Nuan but under the watch of Wang Meili and Rin Rin, it was difficult to get along with them. 

Even though Wang Meili and Rin Rin always looked down on Xu Nuan and The Knights, they never said anything to them and always greeted them politely. Even at the awards ceremony, The Knights complimented them for their look and even helped them to cover their legs with thin blankets because their outfits were too revealing and it was making them uncomfortable. 

There were cameras everywhere and it was their first time attending such an award ceremony. They were already nervous and their revealing outfits were only making them even more nervous and awkward. 

Wang Meili didn't even bother listening to their complaints about the outfits because, for her, looks and attention-seeking were everything. Meanwhile, Rin Rin has a personal stylist who gives her the best outfit that makes her stand out the most in the group. 

In the end, The Knights passed them their blankets that were prepared by Xu Nuan. Even though their clothes were not too revealing, Xu Nuan came prepared. Wang Meili and Xu Nuan are both artist managers yet the difference between the two is obvious. 

Because of this reason, they wanted to attend Xu Nuan's farewell party arranged by everyone but because of Wang Meili and Rin Rin, they couldn't do so. If they do that, they know that Wang Meili and Rin Rin will do anything to make their coming days hell.
