Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

Chapter 127 Woodcutter's Knife?

Tian Xiwei looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then put down the worksheet in her hand. "Alright, let's talk here. What do you want to say? Go ahead."

"Let's all keep quiet. We'll be working together in the future, so there's no need to make things so awkward."

Bai Mengyan put down her water glass, her voice calm.

Meng Ziyi glanced at Bai Mengyan, took a deep breath, and softened her voice, looking at Tian Xiwei, said, "Tian Xiwei, I don't want to argue with you. I just want to ask you one question: when you said on WeChat that you were his sister, what were you really thinking?"

"Are you just playing along to mislead me, or are you deliberately leading me down that path? Are you just trying to toy with me?"

Tian Xiwei was silent for a few seconds, then met Meng Ziyi's gaze, "I want you to misunderstand."

"Because at that time, I wasn't sure how Xingzhou felt about me. I was afraid that once you knew the truth, you would go to him even faster than I did."

As she said this, she lowered her eyes and said, "I know it was wrong, but that's what I thought at the time. Sister Ziyi, I'm sorry."

"I heard from Xingzhou about what happened because of this misunderstanding, and I'm really sorry."

Meng Ziyi was taken aback, as if she hadn't expected Tian Xiwei to admit it so openly, and then sincerely acknowledge it with her.

wrong.

She remained silent for a long time before finally nodding: "You're more honest than I thought—alright, with that, this matter is over, but our relationship will most likely never be as good as before."

Tian Xiwei nodded silently, her expression somewhat somber. "I know."

Bai Mengyan, on the other hand, was a little dumbfounded.

What does it mean to say, "I'm afraid that once you know the truth, you'll go to him even faster than I will"?

How come she's involved in this?

Before Chen Xingzhou and Meng Ziyi met, it seems that she was Chen Xingzhou's girlfriend, right?

She glanced at Tian Xiwei, then at Meng Ziyi, her expression complex, breaking the silence in the office once again.

"So—what you two were just talking about—did happen around the time of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'?"

Meng Ziyi nodded, and Tian Xiwei also nodded slightly.

Bai Mengyan was silent for a moment, then leaned back on the sofa, her gaze shifting between the two women before finally settling on Tian Xiwei. Her tone held a hint of ambiguity and regret: "So you know that the person you were constantly guarding against on WeChat was actually the wrong person?"

Bai Mengyan pointed to herself, "Back then—I was Xingzhou's girlfriend."

The office fell into a deathly silence.

Meng Ziyi and Tian Xiwei stared at her with wide eyes at the same time.

The three people's eyes met briefly in the air, then looked away and fell silent again.

Meng Ziyi was the first to react.

She didn't look at anyone, but stared at the coffee table on the table, and said in a complicated tone with a hint of sudden realization, "So—all that effort we put in before, all that arguing just now, and the person in question was just watching the show the whole time?!"

Tian Xiwei stared speechlessly at the work schedule. "I initially thought the biggest threat was Sister Ziyi—I'd been on guard against her for so long, but it turns out—you were actually his girlfriend during that time."

As she said this, her tone carried a hint of something ambiguous: "He never mentioned it to me."

Meng Ziyi curled her lip, "I knew it! That's why he suddenly hired a female model to act in the movie—humph."

Bai Mengyan choked for a moment, but she had already gotten used to Meng Ziyi's occasional unintentional verbal attacks.

She looked at the two of them, who looked completely bewildered, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, I get it now."

"The three of us are sitting here, suspicious and competing with each other because of him, but someone else has done the opposite, clearing himself of all responsibility, leaving me here to watch you all while he goes upstairs to discuss cooperation."

Meng Ziyi suppressed her emotions, slowly sat up straight, and gritted her teeth: "Sister Bai, you're right."

She turned to look at Tian Xiwei, "Xiao Tian, ​​what happened just now was my fault. I shouldn't have kept bringing it up. I think our common enemy now is someone upstairs."

She pointed to the ceiling, "This man who's still pretending to be stupid."

Tian Xiwei's eyes darted around for a moment, then she nodded vigorously. "I agree!"

The three women's eyes met again, but this time it was the look of sisters sharing a common destiny.

Bai Mengyan stood up and picked up her phone from the table. "Hehe and I are going to buy some coffee. We'll settle this score with him when he comes down."

After she finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips as she turned and walked out of the office.

She had indeed said before that she wouldn't concern herself with Chen Xingzhou's affairs with these women, but this time it's different.

Bai Mengyan's footsteps faded into the distance in the corridor, and the office fell silent again.

Meng Ziyi looked down at the desktop for a while, then burst out laughing.

Tian Xiwei looked up at her with a puzzled expression. Meng Ziyi waved her hand and said, "No—I just suddenly felt that if A-Zhou had seen us arguing just now, he would probably have burst out laughing upstairs."

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. "Stop talking—I'm already starting to feel awkward."

The two looked at each other, and the tense atmosphere finally eased a little.

Meng Ziyi stopped smiling, glanced in the direction of the door, and said in a more serious tone, "But we still have to settle this score. We can't let him think that the three of us are easy to fool."

Tian Xiwei nodded, but hesitated, "Then what should we do? We can't just beat him up, can we?"

Mencius pondered for a moment, then his gaze fell on Tian Xiwei's face. "What have you and he been doing on set all this time?"

'

Tian Xiwei's ears turned slightly red, and a hint of smugness rose on her face. "It's nothing, just normal filming, and occasionally doing what I'm supposed to do."

Seeing her like this, Meng Ziyi immediately knew what was wrong.

Isn't this exactly the same as when she first got together with Chen Xingzhou?

And occasionally they do what they're supposed to do! But they do bad things as easily as eating!

shameless!

She gritted her teeth inwardly; she knew Chen Xingzhou wouldn't let Tian Xiwei go uneaten.

She sighed, waved her hand, and said, "Alright, when he comes down later, just don't give him a nice look. I'll take care of the rest."

Tian Xiwei lowered her head, her fingers gently stroking the hem of her clothes. "I might not be able to do it."

"But I also think he should know that this matter cannot be left like this. However, I don't want to embarrass him too much. I just need him to know it in his heart."

She looked up at Meng Ziyi. "When he came down, I didn't give him a friendly look—but please don't go too far, okay?"

Looking at her expression, Meng Ziyi paused for two seconds and said, "I know, I'll give your Xingzhou brother some face."
