“It’s fine”—Mu Xi had her guard put down at this point—”seeing how you’re on close terms with my charge.”
“Mhm!” The other lady was all ears.
Thus, she recounted the entire event to her. “An actress, by the name of Ji Yan, invited the entire production team to her birthday party the previous night. When she appeared, arms linked with her boyfriend, Shishi’s expression became a little off and remained that way throughout the party. I only found out much later that that man is also currently dating her best friend, which makes him a two-timer! I got a bit tipsy in the middle, so I can’t remember what exactly happened, but I recall my charge helping me to the bathroom. When I came out, I found Hua Jin and that man in a scuffle. According to my charge, the man followed us to the bathroom and insulted her and her best friend, so they got into an argument. Hua Jin happened to witness that scene and, in a bid to protect her, ended up exchanging blows with the scoundrel.”
“…” Astonishment flashed across Xiao Xue’s face, then she felt a pang of pain in her chest.
The assistant clearly did not notice the unusual look on her face, for she went on rattling. “This morning, on set, we learned that Ji Yan had spread rumors to the production team that Shishi tried seducing her boyfriend to clinch the lead role. Everyone’s been discussing this matter, which got my charge so infuriated that she lost her temper earlier.”
Just as she hung her head low in remorse, she heard the assistant adding, “I heard from Shishi that Gao Nan is a jerk who let her best friend down, so even I almost went mad with anger at Ji Yan accusing her of being the third party. My charge isn’t the type of person who would do such a thing! She’s got her resources, so why would she need to cheapen herself by seducing others?”
“She’ll never do that!” she asserted with much conviction. “I know her well. Even when she had nothing to her name, she didn’t do such a thing; what more now that she isn’t lacking in support, fame, or status?”
“Agreed!” Mu Xi excitedly said. “You really are a good friend of hers to have such unwavering trust in her.”
It got her lips twitching and her eyes turning red at once. Beads of tears fell from her drooping eyes, which rolled down her face as she wailed in misery. “I-I don’t deserve to be her best friend…”
“Huh?” She was surprised to hear that. “Why do you say so?”
“That’s because”—Xiao Xue tried her best to compose herself—”I’m the reason she ended up being defamed; she got implicated when all she did was stand up for me.”
It took a moment for the assistant to process this information before she realized something. Her expression then immediately turned grave. “Are you saying that Gao Nan is your boyfriend?”
“He’s past tense now!” she astutely answered. “I broke up with him last night. The reason for my visit is to apologize to Shishi, but I’m scared that she won’t forgive me. ”
Mixed feelings rose in Mu Xi, then she laughed dryly. “How’s that possible? Why would she be angry with you when she’s the gentlest and kindest person I’ve ever met? Don’t fret about it.”
“Yeah, thanks for telling me that.”
“It’s no biggie!”
She proceeded to lead the lady to the actress’s waiting room, but while the two were making their way over, they bumped into Ji Yan and her cronies.
