ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Everyone in the room became silent when they heard Bai Xiuren's words.

They could sense the tension growing between the two ladies sitting in the room.

Liwei frowned when he heard Xiuren's interrogative tone. Before he could say something, Xie Ming spoke and her words caught everyone off guard.

" You're right. I studied business and now I am acting in Mr. Han's upcoming movie. I didn't know before that I could do acting as well. Seems like I have a natural talent in acting." Xie Ming shamelessly boasted about herself and let out a chuckle. 

She never thought about it before but now she feels that she fitted to this world more than her past life. 

She easily got adapted to this place and even got casted in the movie of a popular director. Many people are dying to get a small role in his movie but she got the role of second female lead in her single try. 

Isn't it amazing? At first she thought that it was just by luck and she can act as the Empress because of her past life. 

But she found herself getting used to the camera and everything so easily. It was surprising  to her as well. 

Everyone in the room was surprised when they heard Xie Ming's words. 

Xiao Jun laughed when he heard her words. Rather than being humble about it or trying to avoid the question, she boasted about being naturally talented. 

Bai Xiuren pursed her lips hearing Xiao Jin's laugh. She shot him a glare and then turned to Xie Ming who was boasting about herself. 

" Ms. Xie, don't mind my words but I don't think that it has anything to do with your" natural talent". You know Global world is such a big company and it has a big name in the industry as well. So I think Mr. Han might have given you this role because of that. Moreover, you're Liwei's wife, who can deny to give you this role? "

Xie Ming understood the meaning behind this. She was clearly indicating that Xie Ming got this role because of Liwei and his influence in the industry. 

Global world is a big company in the entertainment industry which has produced top actors and even idol groups and soloists. It has excelled in every field. 

Xiuren seems to believe that Xie Ming must have used Liwei's influence to get this role. She has tried to dig information about Xie Ming and only found out that she has studied business abroad and didn't do anything in the last year. 

She found out about e'er family situation as well that she is the only child of her parents. Her mother died when she was young. She has a step sister and doesn't have a good relationship with her father. 

And recently she signed with global world and got the role of the second female lead in the movie. She was suspicious of her because there is no way that one can get such a prominent role without doing anything shady. 

Liwei frowned and said, " Xie Ming signed with Global World after getting this role. She auditioned for the movie like others and got this role because of her capabilities. Moreover, no one else knows about our marriage other than a few close friends and family." 

" Bai Xiuren, if you're trying to find information then do it correctly. She got the role herself and that too in a single try. If you don't believe then wait for the movie to release. I am sure you will believe it then. " 

Liwie was quiet by now because he doesn't want to interfere in women's matters but Xie Ming is his wife and he brought her here to meet his friends. 

How can he sit there quietly seeing that his friends were trying to humiliate his wife?

Bai Xiuren's expressions turned dark hearing Liwei's cold and straightforward words. She was hurt because Liwei has never talked to her this rudely before.

" Okay, okay now stop it. Liwei doesn't mind her words. She is just drunk. " Bai Ju said while trying to save his sister from further humiliation.

He can clearly see the doting expressions on Liwei's face towards Xie Ming. Whatever it is, if he has accepted Xie Ming, then there is no need for him to get involved in it.

Xie Ming didn't say anything and glanced at Bai Xiuren who was clutching her hand tightly into a fist.

" Xie Ming, how is your injury now? Does it still hurt? Xiao Jun asked her as he remembered that she got badly hurt at that time when she got kidnapped.

He was trying to change the subject to reduce the tension in the room. 

Xie Ming shook her head and replied, " I am fine now. Thanks for asking though." She smiled politely.

Bai Ju was noticing Xie Ming and was observing the way she was sitting. She was wearing a simple dress but her elegant posture and that glistening smile made her look more beautiful.

' Bai Xiuren was right. She is indeed pretty. But only pretty.' he didn't dislike Xie Ming but he doesn't have a good impression of her either.

He doesn't have a good impression of those who belong to the entertainment industry.

…

" Ms. Xie , you should drink as well. Why are you drinking juice? Does Liwei restrict you from drinking?" Bai Ju asked as he offered her a drink.

" It's Xie Ming." 

"Hmm?" Bai Ju was puzzled when he heard her words.

" My name is Xie Ming. You can address me as Xie Ming since I am younger than you or can call me Mrs. Jin. It's not proper to address me as Ms. Xie." 

Bai Ju was stunned when Xie Ming said this. He didn't thought that Xie Ming would speak up for herself like this

He pursed his lips and nodded.

" Oh. Then I will call you Xie Ming. Is that fine?" 

Xie Ming nodded.

" So why are you not drinking, Xie Ming?"

" It's not that Liwei restricts me from drinking, it's just that I don't want to drink at this moment. I don't have a good tolerance for alcohol, that's why I don't want to drink at this moment." She knows her limits, that's why she was drinking juice.

" Then I won't force you." Bai Ju didn't force her further because he just wanted to see if she drank after asking her a question or not.

She was firm when she said no. He could see that she knows what to do or what not to do clearly.

Her phone buzzed and when she looked at her phone, she saw Song Xiner's name on the screen.

" Liwei I am going out to pick up the call. I'll be back in a minute." 

Liwei looked at her worriedly and asked, " I'll come with you as well." 

Xie Ming smiled seeing him ready to come along with her.

She shook her head and said , " I am just going out to pick this call. Yo u stay here and catch up with your friends."

After that, Xie Ming left the room to pick up the phone. The club was noisy so she stepped out to pick up the phone.

Bai Ju saw the way she was controlling Liwei. He can't believe that his friend became so submissive in front of a woman.
