Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 4 Part 3

Ye Qiao didn't bother to look at Xu Yinshan, instead she stretched out her

hand to Shen Ting: “Are you done with my cell phone?”

“Yes.” Shen Ting returned the phone to her. Xiao K gathered all his stuff

and prepared to leave the room: “Your hair is all set. Before you go on the

stage this afternoon, I'll make sure it's all good. Call me.” He gestured while

backing out of the room, glancing at Xu Yinshan before he left the room.

Ye Qiao told Shen Ting: “Go see Xiao K off?”

Xu Yinshan was an actress mainly doing TV dramas. In recent years, she

got more popular by riding the coattails of Cheng Jiang. Today, she was

purposely making a scene to embarra.s.s Ye Qiao. Ye Qiao told Shen Ting to

go out of the room to protect her from being caught in a difficult position.

Shen Ting knew Ye Qiao's intention, but was hesitate following her order.

Ye Qiao gave her a look, telling her to go. Shen Ting bit her lip then left the room.

Ye Qiao was the only one left sitting in the dressing room, with a group of

people standing in front of her bearing down on her menacingly.

Xu Yinshan didn't expect Ye Qiao to confront her face to face. With great

interest, she spoke: “Some people just like to freeload. You think you can just

ride on the golden coattails. You've been dumped, why you are still here.

Hmph, you think you can steal him back by staying with this crew?”

Xu Yinshan kept venting and didn't realize that she was also making fun of

Cheng Jiang. Ye Qiao couldn't help but laugh which only further irritated Xu

Yinshan. She was about to start another tirade when the door suddenly opened.

A tall man leaned against the door frame and leisurely knocked on the door

twice. He sounded like he was trying to cover up his impatience: “Ye Qiao,

are you done?”

He carried with him an air of ruthlessness, his slight frown seemed to carry a

deadly threat. Xu Yinshan seldom had the chance to meet someone like him,

she was stunned and went blank.

“I'm almost done.” Ye Qiao noticed that his eyes were quite cold. How long

had he amused himself with what was going on inside the room?

Zhou Tingsheng slowly walked over to sit on the chair which Xiao K had just

cleaned up. He threw the lighter onto the table: “What, did you get a perm? It

looks better with straight hair.” He lifted up a strain of her hair hanging next to

her face and lightly smelled it.

He was enjoying himself and the impatience earlier had disappeared.

Ye Qiao blocked his hand and glared at him. She pulled up the zipper on her

bag and said: “Are you coming? I have to be back before one o'clock.”

He wouldn't let a chance to tease her go. Using the tip of his finger to flip her

earlobe, he frivolously said: “Let's go.”

He flirted with her, ignoring all the other people inside the room. Ye Quio frowned

and got up from the chair, walking around the security guard near the door. She

could hear the noise of footsteps from outside the door, there seemed to be a lot

of people coming.

Xu Yinshan saw Ye Qiao was about to leave and called out: “Ye Qiao!”

Just as Ye Qiao turned around, Shen Ting led a group of people to the dressing

room. One of them, Mr. Liu, was the person responsible for the overall arrangement.

He nodded to Ye Qiao as a greeting, then said to Xu Yinshan with a big smile on

his face: “I apologize that we haven't arranged enough dressing rooms. But we

have reserved VIP rooms for actors upstairs which can be used as dressing room.

What about it, Ms. Xu?”

Xu Yinshan pursed her lips to show her dissatisfaction. Actually, she knew the

arrangement all along. She came here to make trouble just because she had heard

that Ye Qiao was in this room. “Now you guys are so considerate. I didn't see a soul

a while ago.” She sneered at Shen Ting for getting help for Ye Qiao.

Mr. Liu was an old fox; he nodded and bowed: “Yes, yes. Please bear with us,

Ms. Xu, for not taking good care of you.”

Xu Yinshan finally had nothing more to say.

After he had placated Xu Yinshan, Mr. Liu turned to make way for Ye Qiao: “Is

Ms. Ye also going upstairs?”

Before Ye Qiao said anything, Zhou Tingsheng put his arm loosely around her

waist and pushed her forward as if they were in a hurry. He impatiently said: “I'm

taking her to the hospital.”

Mr. Liu was shocked, he thought Xu Yinshan had hurt Ye Qiao: “What's wrong?

Is Ms. Ye hurt?”

Ye Qiao raised her hand, casually aiming the back of her hand at Xu Yinshan

and lightly swaying it: “It's nothing. I got bitten by a dog, just going to the hospital

to get a shot.”
