Xia Yao Xing and her friends started talking and eating. Xia Yao Xing couldn't bear not seeing her Xiao Rui's face anymore. "Xiao Rui, just remove that mask. I want to see you." She said with a little impatience in her voice.
Fu Rui looked at Xia Yao Xing and then looked at her surroundings. She contemplated for a few minutes. "Xiao Xing, are you sure you don't want a peaceful conversation?" Fu Rui said as she looked here and there around their table
Xia Yao Xing noticed her resistance as she said, "Ugh! It's OK then. Just have it there." She was a little disappointed as well.
Then again their chit chat was continued until Jang Man Wol looked at both Li Zhi and Fu Rui. "And guess what?" She asked looking at them with excitement written on her face. Fu Rui and Li Zhi looked at Jang Man Wol curiously while Xia Yao Xing looked at her with a face full of suspension.
She knew full well that this little evil creature is not up to any good. "XiaoWol what is it?"
"Xia Yao Xing..." Jang Man Wol knew Xia Yao Xing got suspicious of her. Xia Yao Xing doesn't want anyone to know about her starting acting career until her film was released. But who can stop our ManWol when it is about gossip? And she also wanted to tell them about this.
Jang Man Wol teased Xia Yao Xing a little more as she blinked at her and called her name a several times while Xia Yao Xing got anxious. She can't afford to tell Fu Rui and Li Zhi about this right now. They will surely oppose her.
"It's nothing. She is just kidding. Right ManWol?" Xia Yao Xing said clenching her teeth as she widened her eyes, smiling at Jang Man Wol.
Mean while Fu Rui and Li Zhi were getting impatient as Fu Rui pushed Jang Man Wol. "Hey! Just say it. Why are you going round and round. Just say it!" Fu Rui was impatient to know this gossip.
"Xia Yao Xing... Got a main lead role in the film directed by the great... Director. HAN XU." Jang Man Wol said pressurising over the last 2 words.
Han Xu was a very well known director of Chinese films and it is said that no one of his film has ever been below the block buster!
Hearing this from Jang Man Wol, Li Zhi was the first to react. "Xiao Xing! are you out of your mind?" He got up from his seat as he slammed his hands hard on the table grabbing the attention of people on them.
Xia Yao Xing looked around them, smiling awkwardly as she urged Li Zhi. "Zhi... Sit down. Don't embarrass yourself." She said clenching her teeth.
Was it a wrong day to come meet them? My head is a aching mess from all this drama. Sigh... Xia Yao Xing thought to herself.
"Xia Yao Xing! How can you show yourself on television?" Li Zhi slowed down his volume as he sat back on his chair. But it was still clear that he is angry with Xia Yao Xing as he called her with her full name.
"Zhi, it's nothing... I'm just pursuing my passion. Nothing else." Xia Yao Xing said as she wanted Li Zhi and others to be calm and tension free.
"Its not about pursuing your talent. But you know that damn family is still looking for you. It's too dangerous." This time it was Fu Rui. She said this before considering anything and removing her mask.
Xia Yao Xing saw her doing this and instantly helped her put her mask again.
"It's OK. They can't do anything. You know... I'm not that old Xia Yao Xing." Xiao Yao Xing said slowly to appease their anxiousness.
"Also... Xia Xiang now knows about my existence. But, she didn't done anything till know." Xia Yao Xing said. She liked at Li Zhi and Fu Rui. "I'm bring careful." She said putting her both small hands on both sided of her, on their hands.
Although Fu Rui and Li Zhi doesn't know much, but they at least knew that Xia family was the cause for Xia Yao Xing to stay away from her own country for so long. That family is the cause for her to end up in a mental asylum. That family caused them to be apart for so many years. They doesn't want her to go through that all again. They were afraid of her being hurt again.
Xia Yao Xing knew what they are talking about but, she has to do it. If not, there is no meaning for her to live her life. She needed to find out the truth behind her life. She needed make her brother Mo see her sisters true face. She needed to avenge herself.
Xia Yao Xing persuaded Fu Rui and Li Zhi. She til old them that it's very important for her to be an actress and assured them she would take care of her.
All this while Jang Man Wol was looking at them all with her eyes wide. She was sure that she did something unpleasant for Xia Yao Xing. She wonder why it is that they feared Xia family so much. She knew that Xia Xiang is her XingXing's sister, so Xia family must be her family too. Then why does they fear them so much? She thought to herself without meddling with their affairs.
She knew Xia Yao Xing must have a reason for not telling her anything. But, she understood one thing this entertainment industry might be dangerous for her XingXing. She will always be with her XingXing and would protect her.
Jang Man Wol looked at Xia Yao Xing. "XingXing, Zhizhi, RuiRui. I'm the 2nd female lead in the film." Jang Man Wol said. She smiled meekly at them and continued, "I'm XingXing's servant in the film. You know what? I'm playing along with Rong Ping! Wow... I'm so happy." She said, livening up the atmosphere.
With her saying so everything got livelier as they started talking about the film. "XingXing, I forgot to tell you... The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony. Manager Fu asked if you have a dress to go there." Jang Man Wol said remembering the call this morning.
"You don't have to worry about that!" Fu Rui said. Claiming her task. Xia Yao Xing and Jang Man Wol looked at her with wide eyes.
"I'll get my designer to prepare a dress. For you too! You both will lit up the stage then!" Fu Rui said as she got into her 'Best Friend' Character and stretched her right hand pretending like a super man.
Xia Yao Xing and Jang Man Wol laughed at her action and agreed to it as Jang Man Wol informed her manager.
They finished their food, talked for a while and got up to leave. Xia Yao Xing looked at Li Zhi and Fu Rui lovingly. "I missed you all..." She said as she hugged the both of them.
Jang Man Wol also hugged the three of them as she said, "Hey! Don't leave me alone!"
The three of them laughed and said good bye to each other.
Li Zhi took Fu Rui to drop her at her home and Xia Yao Xing left with Jang Man Wol.
Jang Man Wol looked at Xia Yao Xing with teary ages as they waited for a taxi." XingXing, Sorry..." She said to Xia Yao Xing grabbing her hand lightly.
Xia Yao Xing looked at her and was shocked to see tears in her eyes. "XiaoWol, Don't be serious. I'm not angry with you. Why are you crying?"
Jang Man Wol wiped her tears with her palm like a child and looked down at her shoes as she said, "It's my fault that you get into this entertainment industry." She diverted her eyes from her hand to look up at Xia Yao Xing and said, "From what they said it's clear that it'll be dangerous for you."
Xia Yao Xing understood what she was saying and smiled at her. Her smile was bright and pure. Jang Man Wol felt comfortable looking at her.
"It's not what you think. In fact I'm thankful to you." Xia Yao Xing said.
Jnag nan Wol git confused as she didn't understand what Xia Yao Xing was saying. "Huh?"
"Yes! If not for you, I wouldn't know that acting is important for me." Xia Yao Xing said. 'And... Would have never know the true face of my sweet sister.' Xia Yao Xing thought to herself.
Jang Man Wol thought Xia Yao Xing was right and stopped crying. They held a taxi and went to their respective homes. As both of their homes were in same line and only 15 minutes away.
