The day of the interview arrived. Su Xiaofei remained at home, trying to find a comfortable position in her seat as she waited for the talk show to start. She had waited for the issue to reach its peak before scheduling Bai Qingyue for a live interview. She didn't doubt that many people would try to use the talk show to corner the queen and ask for her comment about the rumors surrounding her.
It had been a while since the last time her name was dragged into an issue, and many of her fans had supported her and tried to brush off the allegations against her. Su Xiaofei had no doubt that there were people getting paid to attack and besmirch Bai Qingyue's reputation this time.
"It's amazing how Miss Bai is able to keep her composure throughout this ordeal. Many of her fans have also stepped forward to defend her against the malicious accusation towards her." Zhang Ling commented as she checked the trend on social media.
"It's because Bai Qingyue takes care of her loyal fans and occasionally hosts fan meetings. She also gives them benefits that other celebrities wouldn't do. This is why, despite the mud Ye Mingyu is throwing at her, the front line of defense would be Bai Qingyue's loyal fans." Su Xiaofei commented, groaning in discomfort as she felt one of the twins kicking in her stomach.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Lan asked her mistress in a worried tone. "Should I get you something?"
Despite having stepped back from managing most of Bluemedia's affairs, Su Xiaofei insisted on being hands on for Xiao Rufeng and Bai Qingyue's projects. Even now, she wanted to observe the entire broadcast to make sure things would go according to plan.
Su Xiaofei shook her head and smiled at Zhang Lan. The Zhang sister had become more strict and overprotective ever since she fell pregnant. She also didn't need to probe further to know that they were still feeling guilty for accidentally allowing her to be poisoned under their watch. If she hadn't begged Lu Qingfeng to spare them, she was sure that the two would receive punishment for failing to protect her.
"I'm alright. These little ones seem like they can't wait to get out and see the world. They are getting more active these days." She said as she rubbed her stomach gently, trying to soothe the twins.
"So we don't need to do anything else to help Miss Bai?" Zhang Ling asked, reminding Su Xiaofei of their conversation.
"It depends on what Ye Mingyu will do next and if Bai Qingyue is still able to resist her. However, there are times that we don't need to lift a finger to exact revenge. We're already lucky that we will get to witness how badly this will end for Ye Mingyu."
There was no doubt that Ye Mingyu was the one behind all of this. She foolishly thought that with the few details she remembered from their previous lives, she would be able to use them without repercussions. It would also be hard for her to convince the fans to go against Bai Qingyue easily.

As soon as it was announced that Bai Qingyue and Tang Liyan would appear on 'Star Talk', Bai Qingyue's name became one of the hottest topics and she took the top spot on the most popular entertainment search rankings. The viewership of today's episode of the talk show was expected to set another record because it features the two queens.
The talk show was scheduled for 5PM and it would be a live broadcast. It would be hard for them to fix anything if Bai Qingyue made a mistake, but Su Xiaofei doubted that her mother would misspoke. Knowing her mother's personality, Ye Mingyu was guaranteed to be seen in a bad light after this.
The two queens arrived an hour before the talk show began. As soon as Bai Qingyue stepped out of the van that brought her to the TV station, she was immediately surrounded by fans and reporters. Her bodyguards stepped forward to control the crowd and made way for the queen to pass through.
When Bai Qingyue entered the TV station, she found that Tang Liyan had already arrived before her. The other queen gave her a warm smile and a greeting.
"Sister Bai, President Su just called. She's been looking for you." Tang Liyan said as soon as Bai Qingyue took a seat.
"That girl is worrying too much." Bai Qingyue muttered.
"She's merely concerned about you, Sister Bai. Xiaofei could be overprotective at times, but she means well." Tang Liyan smiled at her.
Bai Qingyue said nothing and focused her attention on the list of questions she was expected to tackle later during the talk show. However, her mind was obviously not into it, because Tang Liyan's words had somehow left an impression on her.
She didn't want to assume that Su Xiaofei had finally forgiven her. That was like asking for the impossible. It was enough for her that Su Xiaofei wasn't trying to get rid of her whenever she was in her presence. At least, that was better than being ignored by her. It was something she could tolerate better than being completely rejected by the child she gave birth to.
When she thought that she was going to lose Su Xiaofei again when Ye Mingyu claimed to have poisoned the young woman, Bai Qingyue had been blinded by her rage. She almost threw her logical mind to the wind and rushed to her daughter to see if Ye Mingyu was telling the truth. However, she couldn't understand why Su Xiaofei and her husband looked too calm, considering her delicate condition.
"Miss Bai, Miss Tang, we are about to start now." A staff member of the talk show came to call the two out.
Bai Qingyue gave her reflection one last look, making sure that her makeup was on point, making sure that she wouldn't resemble her daughter too much.
