Chapter 37
Ning Xi was baffled. “It’s cleansing balm. Haven’t you ever seen it before?”
Jiang Sheshe took a few steps toward Ning Xi, snatched her makeup bag, and pulled out a lipstick. She lashed out with a barrage of questions:
“I’m asking you what this is?! Why is there a lipstick in your makeup bag that’s exactly like mine?”
Ning Xi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. “Is that so? Well, make sure you don’t steal mine then.”
[Hahaha, Ning Xi’s ‘unbothered response’ is top-tier.]
[Ning Xi: I have a high EQ, so you’d better watch out.]
[Even though I knew Jiang Sheshe and Ning Xi were at odds, I didn’t expect her to actually imply Ning Xi is a thief. This circle is truly ridiculous.]
[I’m dying. A lipstick worth a few hundred bucks? With Ning Xi’s net worth, she could buy tens of thousands of them. Why would she need to take someone else’s?]
[What’s going on? Weibo says two starlets are having a catfight in the livestream. I’m here for it! Wherever there’s gossip, there I am!]
The popularity of Ning Xi and Jiang Sheshe’s livestream room spiked instantly.
Some netizens who had been feeling drowsy were now wide awake.
After all, their previous bickering could only be considered minor squabbles. Now, an accusation of theft involved a question of moral integrity!
[Jiang Sheshe is targeting Ning Xi on purpose, right? She’s been gunning for her since the first day of filming.]
[Holy crap, I found the replay of the livestream from this morning when Jiang Sheshe was putting on lipstick. She really does have one exactly like Ning Xi’s!]
[Correction: This lipstick isn’t just a few hundred bucks. It’s a limited edition. The case alone is over a thousand, and with the refill, it’s probably nearly two thousand.]
[And this shade is very hard to find. It’s not a color you see everywhere on the street.]
[Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve seen Ning Xi use this lipstick before…]
[That’s impossible, right? It’s not like Ning Xi is short on money.]
[Have you ever heard of kleptomania? It’s a psychological disorder. Some people aren’t short on money, but they’re addicted to the thrill of stealing.]
[Hilarious. Everyone in the comments is Sherlock Holmes. We don’t even know the full story yet, and you’re already labeling my girl a thief with a mental illness.]
Inside the room.
Jiang Sheshe laughed out of pure anger. “I stole your lipstick? Stop playing the victim! You clearly stole my lipstick just to get back at me!”
Ning Xi said calmly, “Get back at you? You really think you’re all that, don’t you? Last warning: put the lipstick down, or I’m going to lose it.”
If Fu Zhi, who knew Ning Xi well, were here right now, he wouldn’t dare cross her no matter how emotional he was.
But Jiang Sheshe didn’t know any better.
She continued to court disaster. “I won’t put it down! Why should I? This is clearly my lipstick! You thief! You got caught and you still won’t admit it!”
Ning Xi shook her head and sighed. “Good grief, there’s no stopping this young lady.”
She slowly massaged her wrists.
Jiang Sheshe let out a cold laugh. “I’m going to tell everyone right now and let them know you stole my lipstick…”
Before she could finish, Ning Xi cleanly and decisively tripped her.
With a loud *thud*,
Jiang Sheshe’s world spun as she fell onto the carpet, not even realizing what had happened.
Ning Xi sat directly on top of Jiang Sheshe, intending to snatch her lipstick back.
Jiang Sheshe snapped out of it and gripped the lipstick tightly in her palm, refusing to let go.
Ning Xi clicked her tongue. She hadn’t realized before that Jiang Sheshe had the strength of an ox.
So, she increased her force slightly.
She easily pried Jiang Sheshe’s hand open and retrieved the lipstick.
Jiang Sheshe instantly let out a cry like a boiling kettle, struggling and screaming frantically:
“Give it back! That’s the lipstick Brother Xuan gave me! I’ll give you any other lipstick, but not this one! Even if you kill me, you can’t have it!”
Ning Xi: “…”
She looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “Oh my god, I apologize. Kicking people is wrong, but this time, I kicked the right person!”
Just a moment ago, she had actually thought Jiang Sheshe was intentionally framing her or just looking for trouble!
She had still overestimated the ‘love brain’!
Ning Xi pinned the frantic Jiang Sheshe down with her legs and held the lipstick in front of her. “Look closely at the case of this lipstick…”
Right then, a violent pounding came from the door.
“Sheshe! Xiao Xi! Stop fighting!”
-That was Ning Mingyue.
“Open the door, now!”
-That was Wei Xuan.
“Ning Xi, don’t be impulsive! You’re still young! Don’t go down the wrong path! If something’s wrong, talk to me…”
-That was Fu Zhi.
Oh my god! It was like all the guests were coming to their bedroom for a team-building session!
