Quick wear, the beautiful and soft female supporting role's charming road

The Jiangnan water town had just experienced a drizzle. The sudden downpour had subsided, and the dark grey clouds were slowly dispersing. The rain-washed sky was a clear, pale blue. Fresh, tender grass exuded a delicate fragrance. The remaining raindrops trickled down the mossy tiles to the eaves, forming small puddles in the cracks between the bricks.

Tick-tick, accompanied by the sudden rise of dramatic melody on the stage, played a unique melody. The actress's bold makeup matched the intricate and ornate opera costumes. A gentle tilt of the waist, a flicker of the eyebrows, and a myriad of charms were revealed. The charming and graceful singing melody, coupled with the soft and affectionate lyrics, moved the audience with every frown and smile.

It's so stunning, it's definitely not her performance.

Ning Jiaoxi fiddled with her newly-made manicure. The light pink nails were covered with carefully designed sequins, and the dazzling diamonds sparkled like gold. She muttered to herself that she couldn't sing as well as her, her figure wasn't as graceful as hers, and her eyes weren't as charming as hers.

Amidst the applause, the inevitable phrase that spoiled the mood was: "That's all."

"Ning Jiaoxi, could you please not spoil everyone's fun? That's all it is, isn't it? What are you talking about? Chaoxi has achieved such results in just a few days. Even professional masters praised her talent and hard work. What right do you have to criticize her here? It's really ridiculous. She doesn't even understand the mud, yet she has the mind to criticize others."

"I think you did it on purpose!"

Ning Jiaoxi gently lifted her eyelids and rolled her eyes at the popular young actress Liu Yingyun. "What do you care what I say? Lin Chaoxi and I have a bad relationship, and that's intentional."

"I'm talking about Lin Chaoxi, not you. Why are you so anxious to help her? What good is there? The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is."

Liu Yingyun had long disliked her, initially because of her actions, but that had nothing to do with her. After all, she had always been a target of criticism. As a popular young actress, she disdained to associate with such a person. After all, she would only benefit from her presence.

She came to this variety show to increase her exposure and boost her popularity. However, she gradually realized that having this woman was actually a huge disadvantage for her. The first thing that made her feel extremely threatened was her face. Although she didn't admit it, she completely lost her luster around Ning Jiaoxi.

Her manager was also worried about her. Ning Jiaoxi's popularity had long surpassed hers, while she was still a relative unknown. Lin Chaoxi was fine; she truly couldn't compare, but what was Ning Jiaoxi's reason? Not only had she not been eliminated early, but everyone seemed to be gradually becoming more tolerant of her.

If she continues like this, what place will she have?

Liu Yingyun stood up and said, "Ning Jiaoxi, don't be so sarcastic. I'm just standing up for Chao Xi. I just can't stand you judging others when you're clearly not that good yourself."

Having said that, Ning Jiaoxi felt that this was a rare opportunity. She finally understood how those female supporting roles felt when they were looking for the female lead. Ning Jiaoxi changed her sitting position without even raising her eyelids, "So, what do you want?"

Liu Yingyun immediately said, "Let's make a bet. Let's compare the performances we each present this time. If I win, you will take the initiative to leave this show." To show that she had no selfish motives, Liu Yingyun added, "Also, you have to apologize to Chao Xi!"

Ning Jiaoxi sneered, "What if I win?"

"Then I'll quit!"

Oh open!

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether she was doing this for herself or for Lin Chaoxi. Lin Chaoxi was really lucky, she was popular with both men and women.

Shen Mujun had been keeping an eye on the goings-on here. Not only him, but Xiao Yuan had noticed it too. Guan Yan, the director, had witnessed the entire process. This woman was truly a source of worry. And what was this Liu Yingyun doing? She had to go toe-to-toe with Ning Jiaoxi.

Nie Shaoyu had just come back to his senses from Sister Lin's beautiful performance. Seeing Liu Yingyun standing in front of Ning Jiaoxi with an aggressive look on her face, he immediately stood up and asked, "Liu Yingyun, what are you doing?"

Liu Yingyun: "Mr. Nie, this has nothing to do with you. No, Mr. Nie..."

She then thought about it and realized that Nie Shaoyu liked Lin Chaoxi the most, so she complained to him with a smile, "Mr. Nie, I'm just standing up for Chaoxi. Just now, Ning Jiaoxi actually said that Chaoxi's performance was mediocre, and I just said a few words for Chaoxi. Guess what she said, she said she did it on purpose. This is too much!"

"So we made a bet that if she lost she would not only have to quit the show but also apologize to Tide."

Liu Yingyun originally thought that Nie Shaoyu would definitely support her, but she didn't expect that Nie Shaoyu would actually speak for Ning Jiaoxi. It wasn't that he was speaking for Ning Jiaoxi, but it seemed like he was speaking for her.

Nie Shaoyu: "Then what does this have to do with you? We didn't hear what Ning Jiaoxi said, but you did? What's it to you to control what she said?"

This is a bit unreasonable, and it has to be our little prince of wildfire.

Xiao Yuan and Shen Mujun also interrupted, undoubtedly speaking on Ning Jiaoxi's behalf. Liu Yingyun couldn't figure out what they meant for a moment. Didn't they all hate Ning Jiaoxi? Even if they were a little tolerant, they wouldn't go to defend Ning Jiaoxi together.

At this time, as long as Guan Yan said something on the intercom, the matter would basically be over. However, Lin Chaoxi, who had changed back into her own clothes, appeared, and she also heard it. Naturally, she would not give up this opportunity to play a trick on Ning Jiaoxi.

She has been living such a good life recently. She didn't come back to see the people who bullied her in the previous life living a prosperous life!

Lin Chaoxi: "Ayu."

Nie Shaoyu shrank his head and looked at Lin Chaoxi with a guilty conscience. Was he being too unfair to Sister Lin for what he did just now? After all, although he didn't hear what Ning Jiaoxi said with his own ears, what Liu Yingyun said should be true.

But even if it was true... he couldn't help but protect Ning Jiaoxi.

Alas, Nie Shaoyu looked at the woman who was still playing with her fingers. It really made him worry. Wasn't the last incident on the Bund enough of a lesson? Forget it, who made him fall in love with such a woman?

He also re-examined his own heart. Sister Lin was just a sister to him. They grew up together and were close. He couldn't forget his friendship for the sake of beauty. He could only bite the bullet and say to Lin Chaoxi, "Sister Lin, Ning Jiaoxi didn't mean it. You know she's just like that. Please don't bother with her, okay?"

Lin Chaoxi was in disbelief after hearing this. She knew Nie Shaoyu best. Because of his prominent family background and the education he received since childhood, he was already a god-level figure in the e-sports circle at a young age. He was arrogant and picky, and was the most difficult person to get along with, except in front of her.

When she and Nie Shaoyu first met, they were often rejected. It was because she often guided him and understood his preferences that they gradually got to know each other and developed their current relationship. Moreover, she had always known that Nie Shaoyu liked her.

But no one expected that he would plead for Ning Jiaoxi.

Lin Chaoxi looked at Liu Yingyun. If she was not mistaken, Ayu had already had an argument with Liu Yingyun because of Ning Jiaoxi before her.

A hint of anger rose in her heart. She looked at Ning Jiaoxi, who was still sitting leisurely in her chair, and found it inexplicably funny. She glanced at the people who stood up around her. They were all talking about her, but she, the person involved, didn't react at all. How could she be so confident?

Looking at her charming face, Lin Chaoxi quietly clenched his hands. What a vixen.

Shen Mujun sensed something was wrong and gave Xiao Yuan a look. Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant. While Shen Mujun was walking towards Lin Chaoxi, Xiao Yuan went to pull Ning Jiaoxi.

"Stop playing around. The wonton shop on the street is open. Let's go eat there."

Shen Mujun: "Chao Xi, don't be angry. Your performance today was amazing. You shouldn't let some trivial things affect your mood..."

Lin Chaoxi interrupted him directly, "Brother Shen!"

"I think Ying Yun's suggestion is very good. Since some people think my dancing is not that good, let me see what she can do. Mr. Xiao, please don't take her away yet. I want to ask her opinion."

Ning Jiaoxi wore a pink embroidered cheongsam today. The embroidery was exquisite and the workmanship was meticulous, showcasing her beauty to the fullest. Her skin was like jade, and her beauty was natural. Her waist, in particular, was so graceful and charming that it captivated the imagination.

It is like a flower that is being nurtured, delicate, soft, beautiful and gorgeous.

Ning Jiaoxi: "Are you asking me?"

Lin Chaoxi's eyes were firm, and he said decisively: "Yes!"

Ning Jiaoxi smiled, her smile as if a hundred flowers were blooming in a riot of color. "I have no objection. I accept...Liu Yingyun's challenge."

Lin Chaoxi couldn't bear to see her like that. She never forgot to seduce men. "In that case, I have to warn you. The director is here too. You can't go back on your word. If you lose, you have to quit. If you don't fulfill your promise, I think you know what the price will be."

Of course she knew, it was just that little thing with He Zhichen.

Threaten her, she is really scared~

Xiao Yuan suddenly had a headache, "Jiaojiao, are you crazy? I'm not afraid of losing, I'm just afraid of what will happen if your reputation is ruined from now on."

"Don't I still have you here? Don't you want to clear my name for me? Besides, how do you know I'll lose? To be honest, Lin Chaoxi's acting was really not that good."

Xiao Yuan looked into her eyes and suddenly wanted to kiss her. What could he do to her?

Xiao Yuan: "Your mouth is the toughest thing about you."

Ning Jiaoxi gave him a strange look and retorted, "No matter what, I can't be stronger than you~"

Shen Mujun comforted Lin Chaoxi. He glanced at Ning Jiaoxi and felt a tightness in his chest for a moment. "Chaoxi, Ning Jiaoxi..."

Lin Chaoxi immediately stopped him, "Brother Shen, don't say anything more. I won't change my mind." Then he walked towards Guan Yan and said, "Director Guan, I hope you can agree."

Guan Yan didn't answer Lin Chaoxi, but instead called out through the intercom, "Ning Jiaoxi, have you thought it through?"

Lin Chaoxi always felt that Guan Yan's behavior was a little strange. She and Ning Jiaoxi had already reached an agreement, and he had been watching why he still asked that woman.

Guan Yan actually meant something different to her; he could be considered the benefactor of her acting career. Her acting skills made Guan Yan choose her for the second female lead, and he also gave her a lot of advice. She was also very cared for by him when she was able to participate in this variety show. She always thought Guan Yan treated her differently, and she also felt a little grateful and admiring towards him.

He seemed so rational and strong, and gave her a lot of guidance.

Lin Chaoxi frowned slightly, his eyes revealing some doubt, "Director Guan..."

Guan Yan: "Don't talk for now."

Everyone's attention shifted to Ning Jiaoxi again, or rather, everyone's attention was always on her, and no matter what aspect of her, people couldn't take their eyes off her.

It's really strange that such a small matter has been dragging on for so long.

Ning Jiaoxi: "You still ask me what to do? I agree, but I will take responsibility for the consequences."

At the same time, Guan Yan seemed to have forgotten something: there were more people present today than just them. Just as he was thinking about this, the doors of the two private rooms in the attic opened at the same time.

Lan Ruoting smiled and said, "Boss He, how are you?"

He Zhichen's handsome face was cold, as if he was owed eight million. His dark eyes were fixed on Ning Jiaoxi downstairs, and he responded, "Boss Lan, how are you?"

Lan Ruoting's brows relaxed. "I didn't expect that our visions were so similar that we invested in the same program."

He Zhi's irritated heart sank. "I really didn't expect that the Lan family, who have always been obsessed with the perfume industry, would also invest in film and television."

Lan Ruoting: "I just tested the waters. I invested because I thought it was interesting. I came here for Director Guan. He has been a mainstay among directors in recent years."

The two people above were chatting there, and the people below also saw it. Judging from the director's reaction, these two people must be from important backgrounds. Of course, the veterans in the entertainment industry had recognized them long ago, but they were not very familiar with Lan Ruoting.

Lin Chaoxi's face darkened unconsciously when she saw He Zhichen above. Although she had known from the beginning that this program was invested by He Zhichen, she felt that she would be in vain if she didn't take advantage of him. He owed her something. Why did he appear at this time? Was he trying to support that woman?

Ning Jiaoxi was even more excited. All she needed was a bag of sunflower seeds so she could sit down and watch the show. But thinking that the two guys might have been sitting there watching their show for a while, her mood suddenly soured. But why was Lan Ruoting here just to join in the fun? Was he trying to steal the hero's woman in advance?

It should be. He must have been stunned by the heroine just now and must have been attracted to her.

Guan Yan: "This time, it may take more than just my consent, Chao Xi, or..."

Then Lin Chaoxi went upstairs directly and stood in front of He Zhichen without saying a word, "What do you mean? You followed me here because you were afraid that I would bully you."

He Zhichen's eyes darkened as she blocked his view. "You're overthinking it. I won't interfere with your decision."

Lin Chaoxi snorted coldly, "That's better. Just wait and see, that woman will definitely be eliminated."
