Chapter 2 HIDDEN BOY AT THE BAR

Five years later!

In the eton bar, in the corridor in the empty floor, Ning Xi has being drinking for the entire night to accompany some investors, with a splitting headache she wanted to find somewhere clean and quite to sober up but she had not expected that Chang Li would follow her, sister Chang is there something you want to say?

Ning Xi let me ask you did you register to audition for the female lead in "land under the heaven"?

Yes why?

You are not allowed to go tomorrow, although Chang Li was her manager, she was stopping her from auditioning for this role that all the major entertainment company where jostling for, Ning Xi was not all surprised by this raising her brows and saying "Reason"? You went behind my back and acted by yourself and you still dare to ask me for reason? Didn't you know that the company has already arranged for Ning Xueluo to audition?

This doesn't seem to conflict with the companies arrangements,Ning Xi smiled faintly at her, Ning Xueluo made you come for me? Don't tell me she is afraid that I a small time actress whose name isn't even known will snatch her role?

You think you have the ability to snatch Xueluos role? You're still talking in your dreams! Let me tell you don't waste your efforts, the Ning family has invested 30 million into this movie, Xueluo is already sitting securely in place this role!

Then why are you so anxious?

Since you are my artist, you have to listen to my arrangements, Chang Li said as if that was how it ought to be!

Heh! So sister Chang still knows that am an artist under you.

Ning Xi I don't have the time to bicker with you, since you are refusing to comply, don't blame me for resulting to using force, as she finished speaking Ning Xi felt a strong blow from her behind, caught off guard she was pushed into the storeroom in the corner, and her phone was taken away, with a bang, the door was heavily shot! The footsteps outside the door slowly drifted away,

Knowing that shouting was useless Ning Xi kept quiet, leaning against the door, she slid down to the floor with an indifferent expression, when she had first entered the company Ning Xueluo was still able to restrain herself, and only made Chang li to arrange villian role for her at most. However, she was growing bolder and starting to go too far, she was even able to throw such a low level tactics.

If she failed to get this role this time, she would look for a way to leave starlight entertainment,

Amidst her messy thought a small sound traveled through her ears

Was there a mouse?

Ning Xi followed the direction of the sound and looked over and was stunned, she saw a little boy behind a stack of boxes, that little boy looked to be four or five, he looked like a finely carved jade piece, white soft like a little bun, he was currently shivering and hiding in the corners, his dark eyes filled with precaution and vigilance,

Why would there be a child in the storeroom of a bar?

There shouldn't be a customer so crazy as to bring their child to the bar right?

Hey little guy, who are you, how did you get in here?

Did you sneak in?

Whee you also shut in here by someone?

Do you eat sweets?

After questioning him for half a day the child remain silent, but started shaking even more as if he were a frightened little beast,

Finally Ning Xi did not bother continuing to speak, it had nothing to do with her anyway, the two of them adult and child thus peaceful occupied the corner each, at this moment the light bulb around flashed brightly then went out, in the darkness Ning Xi vaguely heard a chattering sound, after carefully listening for a bit she realised that it was similar to the sound of a teeth chattering, Ning Xi laughed inspite of herself and turned towards the little boy to say, scared of the dark? The chattering sound pushed for a bit and continued and increased in volume,

Oh, how was he so cowardly?

Ning Xi patted her bottom and stood up then walked towards the little guy, the little boy was so scared of her his face went pale, however Ning Xi just sat by the little boy and did nothing, immediately shutting her eyes and going to sleep, she had being pushed by Chang Li to accompany people in drink the whole night, she had a blinding headache, when Ning Xi finally woke up after a while she felt that the side of her legs was warm, lowering her head she could see that at a point the little boy snuggled up to the side of her leg and his hand was even holding onto the corner of her shirt,

Ning Xi could not help but laugh, previously when she was in the country side she owned a cat, it was particularly cowardly and afraid of people and would run if it saw any person, however as long as you did not notice it, it would let it's guard down and feel like you were not a threat, once that happens it will sneakily snuggle to your side by itself even climbing to your lap to sleep, the little bun seem to have felt her gaze , his little face blushed a bit, but this time there was no more panic in his eye, instead his big eyes were filled with curiosity. He was really just like a little cat pet, even his eyes were thesame, Ning Xi lips curved up, her hands where itching to pet him, she gave up on resisting and finally reached out to pet that adorable little fluffy head, with that one touch her face immediately changed, why was his forehead this hot, you're having a fever? Chang Li would keep her locked up until the audition is over tomorrow, at the very least. If the child continued burning for that long it would be too dangerous, while getting anxious over time, she found that something was not right, the light bulb had blown, why was there still light in the room? Raising her head she saw that there was a small skylight and light was falling from that small window, Ning Xi looked around the storeroom and finally moved a ladder over,

Little guy come, I'll help you get out! The little boy finally showed a response to her word but he shock his head with resolute gaze, Ning Xi understood his meaning,but smiled and pinched his cheek, you're quite loyal after all, you want to suffer together with me? Go up, this window is too small, I can't get out, if you get out first, you can find someone to come save me.

Seeing that the little guy was still hesitating, Ning Xi carried him and put him on the ladder, quickly, if you are a man don't hesitate, I'll protect you from the bottom! After finally sending the child out with much difficulty, Ning Xi felt a wave of dizziness, she lost control of her lags and feel from the ladder in one movement, from the edge of the window the little boy saw the scene and panic rose up on his previous dull and lifeless little face, Ning Xi held unto those last bits of said and in one word "Go" under the light of the stars the woman's face was pale and fragile, but that did not obscure her startling beauty, especially that pair of bright and moist eyes , that were like a sea filled with endless stars, she was no longer the ignorant country side girl and the ugly duckling, However what use was that now?

Ning Xi smiled bitterly, before she had her revenge will she fall to her death here, however before she died at least she has done a good deed by saving that little boy, if her child haven't died back then he probably would be around his age,after the car accident 5 years ago, the Ning family had sent her away to a university specialising in accepting wayward children of America, leaving her to fend for herself, she withdrew from that University and applied for the university of South Carlifonia, almost going crazy in her pursuit in all kinds of knowledge. Because she wanted to defeat Ning Xueluo, and take back everything that was hers, most importantly acting was the biggest dream in her life, after returning to her homeland using this face and solid foundation and acting skills, she was spotted by Chang Li, and successfully entered the industries largest company, starlight entertainment! She should have had a bright future from then but Ning Xi followed her into starlight, by Bribing Chang Li she surpressed Ning Xi from every directions.
