Chapter 1193 - New

There was an icy look in Cheng Yingni’s eyes.

Zhuang Xiao’ai took a long time outside, and she didn’t want to listen to Hu Yuling any longer, so she came out with the excuse of looking for her.

Much to her surprise, Zhuang Xiao’ai had gone to find Xia Xibei!

Would Xia Xibei be nice to someone else’s assistant?

Was that not a problem? Ha! No way she would believe it!

Feeling the intensity of Cheng Yingni’s stare, Zhuang Xiao’ai couldn’t help but shiver a bit, her face turning as pale as a piece of paper.

Xia Xibei also walked out from behind her. When she locked eyes with Cheng Yingni, she was taken aback for a second, but quickly got her head around the situation.

Cheng Yingni must be thinking that they had done something fishy behind her back.

“Xiao’ai’s hand was injured, so I bandaged it up for her.”

Cheng Yingni flashed a small smile, “You helped her with it? Thanks a lot.”

She was wearing a fake smile with cold eyes. There was not the least bit of warmth in that smile.

Zhuang Xiao’ai could hardly stand still, because the look in Cheng Yingni’s eyes was so cold that it made her uneasy.

“Come back here. Pack my things up, I gotta go,” Cheng Yingni told Zhuang Xiao’ai without inflection.

“Sure, sure!” Zhuang Xiao’ai nodded eagerly and hurried over.

Cheng Yingni’s expression turned somewhat sarcastic as she glanced at the band-aid on Zhuang Xiao’ai’s hand.

She wasn’t injured when she came out a while ago, and now she was wearing a band-aid. What a great act!

“I’ll go first then,” Cheng Yingni gave Xia Xibei a smile.

“Okay, I’m also leaving in a while,” Xia Xibei also returned a polite smile.

The two seemed to be getting along really well, and there was no sign of ill feelings between them.

Just after they turned around, however, the smiles on both their faces disappeared.

The next evening, all of them gathered at the stage once again and started getting things in place.

Every new-year concert was a live broadcast, and there was no room for error.

Imperial TV was a wealthy enterprise. Many famous celebrities were invited, thus high ratings were guaranteed.

As long as these stars performed well, fans would support the show.

Cheng Yingni was seated in her seat as the stylist did her make-up.

She was wearing a very beautiful dress with long sleeves today.

The dress had a thin fabric, so it might not stand it when she got on stage. However, she insisted on wearing such a dress.

It would be aired live in a while, so she had to look her best.

As the stylist was busy with her make-up, Cheng Yingni was sneering within.

After going back last night, she kept mulling over it, which only made her angrier. Hence, without heeding Hu Yuling’s warning, she made some arrangements by herself.

Soon, she could watch Xia Xibei making a fool of herself!

That mindset put her in a good mood, which made her forget about what happened with Zhuang Xiao’ai.

Zhuang Xiao’ai looked at Cheng Yingni and carefully hid behind her.

Although Cheng Yingni seemed to be in a good mood, her temperamental character had frightened her.

However, she could only endure it in order to make more money for her grandmother’s treatment.

By the time Cheng Yingni’s make-up was done, the show had started.

Cheng Yingni and Xia Xibei’s sequence were about the same, and they would both appear on stage midway of the show.

That was when the ratings would be at its peak.

This time around, Xia Xibei came up first.

She was wearing a gorgeous fishtail dress, which outlined her immaculate figure.

Her delicate make-up accentuated her already beautiful features,

The audience went wild when she got on stage.

Xia Xibei would sing two songs on the show, which were both from her previous album.

When the music began, she started singing while walking around on the stage.

When she got to a certain spot, however, she stopped in her tracks and did not take another step forward.
