"Don't quarrel because of me."

Yu Xiaobei said the longest sentence since Jiang Baige came back.

Seeing her so pitiful, Tao Mindai felt a little soft-hearted. She sighed and turned her head away.

At this time, the phone in the room rang. It was room service, saying that takeaway had arrived and asked if I needed it delivered.

Jiang Baige was about to say yes, but Tao Mindai said that they should go down and get it themselves, as she happened to want to go downstairs to buy something.

It seems like he has something to say to Jiang Baige.

Jiang Baige told Yu Xiaobei not to ignore the phone and not to leave the room, then she went out with Tao Mindai.

But the two did not walk far. After going downstairs to get the takeaway, they started chatting at the elevator entrance.

On the right side of the elevator entrance is a common floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window is the busy Aoshan Film and Television City. Various sets can be seen, as if the world is divided into many parallel worlds, with various stories taking place simultaneously.

"Why were you so angry just now?" Jiang Baige broke the silence, "I've never seen you so angry before..."

Tao Mindai didn't say anything, took out her cell phone, tapped a few times, and handed it to Jiang Baige.

A text message appeared in front of Jiang Baige, and the sender was "Xiao Bei's mother".

The text message was quite long. It first asked about Xiao Bei's audition, after all, it had been so many days; then it asked when they would be back; and finally said that if there was no suitable opportunity, let Xiao Bei come back.

Although the content of the text message was very subtle, Jiang Baige could tell that her mother was actually not very supportive of Xiao Bei's dream of entering the entertainment industry.

"Before I came, my aunt told me that she had made an agreement with Xiao Bei that if Xiao Bei couldn't find a suitable job this time, she would give up this option, go home and take the civil service exam, find a stable job, get married and have children step by step."

"I really didn't expect that..." Jiang Baige was indeed a little surprised, "I thought her family was quite supportive of her..."

It’s different in the past.

In the past, most parents believed that studying hard and going to college was the right thing to do. But now, many of them see that their children have good looks and start dreaming of getting rich. They hope that their children can enter the entertainment industry. They would rather give up studying and become internet celebrities or participate in talent shows, for fear of missing out on the good opportunity to become famous early.

Of course, it cannot be said that Xiao Bei’s mother is better for her child by doing this.

In fact, the decision-making power in this matter should be left to the child - that is, Xiao Bei herself.

But obviously, the development of things now has exceeded Xiao Bei's expectations.

The puzzle in Jiang Baige's mind gradually became clear, but there was still one piece missing. She returned the phone to Tao Mindai and asked, "So what do you think?"

"Me?" Tao Mindai didn't seem to expect Jiang Baige to ask her opinion. "What can I think? The child can't endure hardship and is dreaming of becoming a star. What else can I do?"

"Don't believe Shen Po's words too much."

Tao Mindai looked at Jiang Baige with an inquiring look - it was obvious that there was something else behind her words: "What do you mean? Do you know something?"

She suddenly realized: "Did that bastard Shen Po do something to Xiao Bei?"

As she said this, she was about to rush into the room, but was stopped by Jiang Baige.

"Don't be so impetuous... First you listened to Shen Po and then came back to blame Xiao Bei. Now that I say something, you want to fight Shen Po again."

"You should have figured it out. I actually support Xiao Bei. There's a lot of money here. Maybe I'll find a job in a film and television company after I graduate." Tao Mindai looked out the window at the film and television city. "Since Xiao Bei likes it and has good conditions, it's good to pursue her dream."

"So that's why you're so concerned? You got angry when Shen Po said that Xiao Bei couldn't endure hardship and couldn't handle failure?"

"What a coincidence, her mother sent me this message yesterday... When I heard Shen Po say that again today, I got really angry." Tao Mindai sighed, "But now I don't know what to do."

As things have developed to this point, Jiang Baige is almost certain that the story diverges at this point in time.

Before coming to the film and television city, Yu Xiaobei and Tao Mindai had reached a "dream-chasing alliance", hoping that Xiaobei would seize the last chance given to her by her family and find a job.

So when Xiao Bei failed in the interview for the role in the ancient costume fairy drama, they did not tell Xiao Bei's mother about it. Instead, they placed their hopes on Shen Po, who had a special liking for Xiao Bei, hoping that he could bring more opportunities to Xiao Bei.

But Shen Po had bad intentions. Not only did he not help Xiao Bei, but he deceived her and made her heavily in debt. In the end, he drove the exhausted Xiao Bei crazy, which indirectly led to her accidental death.

Therefore, Tao Mindai believes that she, who concealed this matter, is also responsible for Xiao Bei's death.

But as for what exactly happened between the two, Tao Mindai, just like now, has no idea.

Seeing that Jiang Baige hadn't said anything, Tao Mindai asked anxiously, "So what happened to Xiao Bei? You really confused me."

"What I can tell you clearly is that Xiao Bei went out for an audition early this morning. But when I went to the hotel where the audition was held, I didn't find Xiao Bei."

"What?! Then she..."

"She was taken by Shen Po to the house he rented... Hey, don't worry..." Seeing Tao Mindai was about to take out her phone to call Shen Po, Jiang Baige hurriedly held her down, "We don't know what happened yet, but I tend to think that nothing irreversible has happened yet."

Tao Mindai's expression relaxed a little.

"After Shen Po was called away, I followed Xiao Bei all the way back to the hotel, only to find that she had returned. But when I wanted to ask her what happened, she suddenly broke down and didn't say anything... Then, after she had finally vented her anger and relaxed a little, you rushed back and scolded her."

Jiang Baige glanced at Tao Mindai and said, "So, if you ask me what happened, I don't know either."

"Then what are we waiting for!" Tao Mindai pulled Jiang Baige towards the room, "Why don't we just go and ask her?"

"Yes, but only me."

Tao Mindai stopped in front of the door.

"Why?" She looked sad. "Because I was impatient and said something to her just now? Is she mad at me?"

"On the contrary... She cares about you a lot. You are like her sister, so there are some things she may not be able to say to you. She is also worried about you. If she tells you something, you will cause trouble for Shen Po." These are Jiang Baige's guesses, but they are very convincing. "She definitely doesn't want you to have a reputation of being difficult and troublesome in the crew because of her."

After all, Shen Po has more experience than her and he is a man.

"so what should I do?"

"Just eat the cake normally and pretend nothing happened." Jiang Baige used the room card to unlock the door. "Go to work in peace tomorrow morning. Leave the rest to me."
