In the end, Bai Qingyue's team decided to step back and could only clench their teeth in dismay. They all thought that they would be able to bully Tang Liyan since Bai Qingyue's status was still above her. The thought of having another chance only pacified their annoyance, and they decided to move to the other side of the VIP lounge to avoid Su Xiaofei's impressive bodyguards.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingyue hadn't uttered a single word since their arrival. Her eyes were covered by a fancy pair of sunglasses, but she could clearly see Tang Liyan, Su Xiaofei and Yun Qingrong.
The moment she saw Su Xiaofei, something flashed in her eyes as she stared at the younger woman. She had met Su Xiaofei five years ago and since then she had never forgotten about her.
Since they were both working in the same industry, it didn't take too long for Bai Qingyue to find out Su Xiaofei's identity as the only daughter of the owner of Bluemedia. She had heard impressive things about her, but this was the second time Bai Qingyue had managed to see Su Xiaofei this close.
The young woman whom she met years ago was now a full-grown, beautiful woman. Her facial features were sharper now, which only added charm to her beautiful face. Bai Qingyue briefly thought that she was looking at her reflection in the mirror as she continued to stare at Su Xiaofei's face. She wondered if people could see the resemblance between them.
Unlike Su Xiaofei's previous hairstyle that was waist length and wavy, she now had a layered cut with curtain bangs to frame her small face. Bai Qingyue noticed that the young woman didn't grow that much taller, but her body had grown in a way where many women would envy her for her impressive figure.
"Miss Bai, please take a seat and relax. We still have half an hour before our flight." Her assistant said, bringing Bai Qingyue back to reality.
She nodded and followed the rest of her team and took a seat before turning her gaze back to Su Xiaofei who was smiling now to her mother. The scene in front of her made Bai Qingyue uncomfortable.
If the daughter she abandoned after giving birth was still alive, perhaps she would be the same age as Su Xiaofei now. Whether the girl managed to survive or not, Bai Qingyue had no idea. The orphanage where she left the child refused to provide details of what happened to the child.
Bai Qingyue lowered her gaze and fell into a deep thought. Ever since she met Su Xiaofei, the secret she'd been trying to bury deep in her heart resurfaced, constantly reminding her of the child that she bore for nine months during her younger years.
'Why?' She asked herself repeatedly, but the answer never came to her.
Even when it was late at night, while the rest of the world and her husband were asleep, her thoughts would always end up with the small babe she once held in her arms.
Mo Yuchen wanted her to eradicate Tang Liyan from the industry for good by snatching the projects and endorsements she had. He also wanted to implicate Su Xiaofei hard with Tang Liyan's failure later.
"You also need to watch out for Su Xiaofei. She's like a venomous snake, waiting for a chance to strike." Mo Yuchen told her during their last meeting, prior to her coming to the airport.
Bai Qingyue didn't know what kind of grudge CEO Mo had against Su Xiaofei, but she heard the rumors that the two used to be engaged to each other until Su Xiaofei nullified the arrangements between them.
When their flight finally arrived, Bai QIngyue's team were the first ones to board. They were all seated at the business class, giving Su Xiaofei's party a mocking smile as they scattered around, taking most of the seats to themselves.
However, what they didn't expect was for Su Xiaofei and Tang Liyan to continue walking until they reached the first class lounge, leaving those who were waiting to humiliate them speechless in their wake.
While it was true that Su Xiaofei's party was considerably smaller than Bai Qingyue, Bluemedia gave them the best amenities they could have on their trip. Although the differences between first class and business class were not as significant as those between economy and first or business, there were still some variables to consider when making their travel choice.
In general, first-class costs about twice as much as business class and if Golden Star put each person in Bai Qingyue's team in first class, it would surely be too expensive for this trip.
"Heh, they must have thought that they would be able to provoke Miss Su by using this cheap trick. We wouldn't be here, sharing the ride with them, had Miss Su accepted the Master's offer." Zhang Ling whispered to her elder sister, who only sighed in boredom.
Lu Qingfeng had suggested for them to use his family's private plane to avoid confrontations with the other team, but Su Xiaofei declined his offer. She had already anticipated that this would happen anyway.
If there was something she knew about Mo Yuchen from her previous life, it was that he wouldn't dare to spend lavishly in his earliest years as the CEO of Golden Star Entertainment. His position at the company wasn't stable yet, and the situation at Golden Star was becoming more volatile.
For this reason, Su Xiaofei decided to splurge on this trip, to let everyone know how cheap Mo Yuchen was for giving Bai Qingyue's team less amenities and having poor arrangements. What would people say if they heard that a smaller entertainment agency like Bluemedia treated Tang Liyan like a proper queen, while Bai Qingyue was getting the shorter end of the stick from Golden Star?
'Mo Yuchen, you only have yourself to blame..' Su Xiaofei thought, aware of the ugly expression Bai Qingyue's team had at the moment.
