334 Missing (2)
Bai Shanshan also heaved a huge sigh of relief, feeling her legs go weak.
She had always been a timid person, but she put on a strong front for once. Now that Matriarch Bai was gone, she felt relaxed.
As if sensing Bai Shanshan’s abnormality, the assistant came over to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s fine. Sister Shanshan, your makeup is almost done. You should prepare for the performance first.”
Bai Shanshan nodded.
As time passed, the banquet began. Bai Shanshan’s program was the 11th one. So, seeing that it was about time, a staff member came to call her to the front stage.
Bai Shanshan stood up and went with the staff member while her assistant followed her.
They had just taken two steps when they were stopped by the staff member. “Teacher Bai, I’m sorry. There are too many people making preparations, so we can’t allow any assistants to go along. This…”
Bai Shanshan looked at her assistant. “You can wait here then.”
The assistant nodded.
Bai Shanshan then followed the staff member and continued walking forward.
She was wearing a white-silk long dress, which accentuated her figure, displaying it very well.
She wanted to show her fans that she had really slimmed down.
She had succeeded!
Bai Shanshan took a deep breath and knew that today was her chance.
“Teacher Bai, we’ve arrived.”
Bai Shanshan came back to her senses after hearing the staff member’s voice. However, when she looked up, she only saw that she hadn’t been brought to the front stage. Feeling stunned, she looked at the staff member and asked, “Where are we going?”
The staff member instantly revealed an eerie smile. “Teacher Bai, it is naturally to send you to the place you should go!”
After saying this, the staff member suddenly opened a door and pushed her hard into a room!
Having been pushed, Bai Shanshan directly opened her eyes wide and dashed to the door. However, a click sounded and the door was locked!
She looked back and discovered that this place was an abandoned storage room. However, the room’s window was spoiled. A gust of cold winter wind gusted through the window into the room!
Bai Shanshan was shocked. She then dashed to the metal door and hit it hard. “Let me out! Is anyone there? I’m over here!”
It was a pity that the banquet venue was too big, and this place was too secluded. Moreover, it was very lively outside. No one heard her calls.
In the corridor not far away from the door, Shen Wanying had fox fur draped over her shoulders, and she smiled as she stared ahead.
The temperature had dipped today, and it was negative ten degrees outside. How long could she hold on for with her silk spaghetti strapped dress?
At the VIP seat in front.
The director accompanied Matriarch Bai.
However, a voice suddenly rang out in the director’s headset. “Director, Bai Shanshan hasn’t come to the preparation venue!”
The director was stunned when he heard this. “What? What’s going on? Where is she?”
“I don’t know. Our staff member said that she suddenly felt scared before going on stage. She then ran off!”
The director instantly gritted his teeth furiously. “Let the other programs go on first. The rest of you, go and look for her!”
Bai Shanshan had cowered from performing before and lost her voice on stage, causing a stage mishap.
This was also the reason why her status was awkward now.
No one was willing to look for an artist whose condition was unstable. What happened now was a good example!
The director spoke into the headset softly but angrily. He then smiled apologetically to Matriarch Bai. “Matriarch, there is a situation, and I have to go to coordinate things.”
However, Matriarch Bai had heard the series of events very clearly.
She didn’t expect that even though she had let Bai Shanshan off, Bai Shanshan herself didn’t perform!
Matriarch Bai let out a cold snort. “An artist like her only knows how to go for cosmetic surgery to make them look better. What can a person like this do in the entertainment circle?”
The director nodded as well, gritting his teeth angrily. “You’re right. After this matter, I’ll definitely tell everyone in the circle so that everyone knows what kind of artist Bai Shanshan is!”
After leaving Matriarch Bai’s side, the director immediately called Shen Qianhui.
The call had just connected when the director bit Shen Qianhui’s head off. “… What is wrong with your artist? If she doesn’t want to work, then don’t sign a contract with us! She suddenly ran off right before going on stage. Does she not take our program seriously at all? Director Shen, your company must take on all the responsibilities for this stage mishap!”
Shen Qianhui said, “That’s impossible. Bai Shanshan’s mental state is very stable right now, and what happened previously won’t occur again. Is there some misunderstanding? Director, don’t panic. I’ll call her assistant and ask where she is!”
Shen Qianhui called Bai Shanshan’s assistant right after hanging up.
The assistant picked up very quickly, but when she was asked, she replied, “Shanshan’s phone is with me. She went to the preparation venue. What? The director said that Sister Shanshan has run off? That’s impossible. She didn’t even change her clothes, so where could she run off to?”
After saying that, the assistant panicked as well. “I’ll go look for her immediately. Maybe she’s in the car park?”
After hanging up the call, the assistant ran quickly, looking for Bai Shanshan everywhere.
However, how could she know where Bai Shanshan was?
This charity banquet received a lot of attention.
After all, many popular artists were invited. Therefore, the production team had posted it online long ago.
After some of Bai Shanshan’s fans saw that the 11th program wasn’t her, they instantly typed out on the bullet curtain to ask what was going on. Someone even ran onto Weibo and tagged the production team to ask about this. They also suspected the production team was trying to beat Bai Shanshan down.
The director was enraged after seeing this. He then used the production team’s Weibo account to post. [Bai Shanshan suddenly disappeared right before her performance and we can’t get in touch with her on her phone. This led to the subsequent performances being pushed forward. Bai Shanshan will take responsibility for everything, and the production will pursue her mistake. Based on the contract, she has breached the contract for no reason and will compensate 50 million to the production team!]
After this post was released, the artist who was called in at the last minute to save the show couldn’t help posting on Weibo to complain about this matter as well. As she was too rushed into getting on stage, the backdrop couldn’t be changed in time, which led to a flaw in her performance and she was mocked.
After the director and that artist posted these Weibo posts, a commotion broke out on the internet.
#BaiShanShanActingConceited#, #BaiShanShanGaveProductionTeamAHardYime# and other similar trending searches appeared on the front of the Weibo ranking list.
The entire Internet started to crusade against Bai Shanshan!
Thereafter, #BaiShanShanDidCosmeticSurgery# also appeared on the trending search!!
Right now, Bai Shanshan, who had become the target of public criticism and was scolded by everyone on the Internet, was pacing back and forth in the room. She had to keep running to keep her body temperature up, preventing herself from being frozen.
At the same time, she was constantly knocking on the door, wanting to get help.
However, it was too cold.
For someone with a frail physique, if they were to only wear a silk dress and stay in such an environment for half an hour, they’d probably get hypothermia!
Hence, after running around for half an hour, Bai Shanshan was slowly losing her strength… She could only curl up and look at the big metal door in a daze.
She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth; a layer of frost had even appeared on her brows.
This was definitely an act by the Bai Family.
They were exacting revenge on her!
Bai Shanshan covered her face with her hands in agony. At this moment, she deeply sensed the terror of the Bai Family.
At the same time, Shen Ruojing finally met up with Ye Lu in the capital.
Ye Lu, looking like a neighbor girl from next door, felt extremely touched when she saw that Shen Ruojing was waiting for her in the clinic that Lu Hui had arranged for her. “Bro Jing, did you personally come to welcome me?”
“No.” Shen Ruojing then took out the DNA samples of Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaojiu, handing them to her. “I came to bring you the samples. I’ll need to trouble you to work hard tonight and get the results out. Report to me after you are done.”
She patted Ye Lu’s shoulder and turned to leave.
Ye Lu instantly stomped her feet angrily. “You’re a heartless person! This is too much!”
She wanted to complain more, but Shen Ruojing’s phone suddenly rang.
After picking up the call, Shen Qianhui’s voice directly rang out. “Jingjing, I think something happened to Shanshan!”
