บท 154: A Teenager

 Chen Xiu was curling her ginger red hair which she often used as a disguise to blend in with people when her phone's ringtone made her sigh in annoyance. She didn't even have to see the caller id to know who was calling.

As she picked up the call, a stern voice from the other end was heard, "Chen Xiu, where are you? I've been looking for you." A tinge of hope and happiness flashed in her eyes but it was diminished the very next moment as she heard her mother continuing, "Are you being rebellious at this age? It's your movie's success party tomorrow and you're missing. What am I supposed to do? Do you want me to lose face as your manager?"

Xiu turned the call on speaker and continued to languidly curl her hairs. "If only you had said you're worried about me as my mother. But that's my wishful thinking as always. I mean you have disappointed me so many times and yet, I'm an idiot who gets her hopes up."
