Chapter 72: You’re Not Drunk?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was almost midnight when Bai Ye’s birthday banquet ended. The butler took care of the sending off the guests in the courtyard. She was only concerned about sending her favorite disciple out.
Looking at Xia Wei, who was supported by her assistant and was still a little unsteady, Bai Ye frowned helplessly and worriedly. Seeing Xia Wei’s manager, Wang Ming, get out of the car, she asked softly, “Why didn’t you come over earlier? She just shouted that she would take a taxi back alone! Remember to give her something to sober her up after you send her back later. She’s not in a good mood today. She’s drunk.”
Naturally, Wang Ming recognized Bai Ye and agreed respectfully. Seeing that Xia Wei was very drunk, he did not have time to exchange pleasantries with Jian Tan and Ma Lei, who were following behind. He only chuckled as a form of greeting and hurriedly left with Xia Wei!
Seeing the car with Xia Wei disappear at the intersection, Jian Tan slowly retracted his gaze. The two teachers in front of him were taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around to say something that could not be made public.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Xia Wei, so it’s not easy to evaluate her. But I remember that Xin Xin wasn’t such a person who didn’t care about the big picture in the past. What’s wrong with her today? It’s as if everyone has taken gunpowder! And you, why did you chase Xin Xin away? Aren’t you afraid that someone will see it and give you a piece of big news in the entertainment industry?” Ma Lei looked at Bai Ye’s unhappy face and asked seriously.
Bai Ye sighed softly and turned to look at Ma Lei with a troubled expression. “I misunderstood Xia Wei because of something in the past. This child suffered a lot at that time. It was so serious that she had to transfer schools and leave! I originally thought that she wouldn’t come today. However, this child doesn’t show it on her face, but she’s still kind on the inside. She treats me as her teacher, but I can’t protect her!”
“Today is still my home ground, but it’s already like this. Then you can imagine what kind of life she used to live in class! I’ve let her down. I’ll protect her as much as I can now. I don’t care if I offend others because of this.”
…..
As Bai Ye spoke, she turned around and looked at Jian Tan behind her. Suddenly, she thought of something and continued, “By the way, Jian Tan, haven’t you filmed a show with Weiwei recently? Can I ask you for a small favor?”
Jian Tan smiled lightly when she heard that and replied respectfully, “I can’t say that I’ll help you. Ms. Bai, just instruct me! After all, there’s still a lot of work we have to trouble you with after the movie ‘Zhaoyuan’!”
“That’s my job. It’s not troublesome.” Bai Ye said as her eyes darted around. When she looked at Jian Tan again, there was only a smile left. “I want you to help take care of Weiwei during the recording of the show. This child is not a bad person, but she’s born with a stubborn temper. Sometimes, she doesn’t even know that she has offended someone.”
Since Bai Ye had already said so, Jian Tan naturally had nothing to reject. He nodded to show that he understood. When he agreed, his face was filled with smiles. “I understand, Ms. Bai. I’ll take good care of Xia Wei. Don’t worry.”
Bai Ye vaguely felt that the “take good care” that Jian Tan was talking about was a little strange. There was also a hint that he was really hoping for it!
“No!” Bai Ye shook her head gently. She felt that she had drunk too much just now, so she let her imagination run wild. However, after Jian Tan’s reminder, she remembered something that she did not have time to say earlier.
She turned around and held Ma Lei’s hand. As she walked out, she said softly, “Weren’t we talking about the supporting actress in ‘Zhaoyuan’ just now? Actually, I have a very suitable candidate in mind. Let me tell you…”
Bai Ye did not avoid Jian Tan. Jian Tan was also a very smart person. He seemed to have guessed something. He looked at the two teachers in front and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Wang Ming, who had just driven away, saw Xia Wei, who was awake, in the rearview mirror when he turned the corner. He was stunned and asked in confusion, “So you’re not drunk?”
Retracting her gaze from Wang Ming, Xia Wei replied lazily, “I should be drunk..”
