Chapter 170 - 100 deservedly the number one socialite
Gu Cheng asked rather urgently, "Aren’t you going to consider it again?"
There was no need to consider it; she had never thought about it and never would.
With her qualifications, if she entered the entertainment industry, she could become nationally famous in less than half a year, but that was never what she wanted. She also disliked the entertainment industry’s environment, filled with false sentiments and debauchery.
She remembered the words Ji Lanyi once said: Put nicely, they’re actors, stars; put harshly, they’re mere performers, eternally living in other people’s stories. What’s the point of such a life?
Perhaps an innate sense of superiority made Ji Lanyi disdain this profession from the bottom of her heart, to the extent that even standing alongside female stars made her feel uncomfortable. That’s why she had decisively turned down the program’s invitation, preventing the possibility of Yun Ya entering the entertainment industry once and for all.
In her view, her daughter should be the most outstanding lady of society, how could she mingle with performers? That was something she could never accept.
After Ji Lanyi’s disappearance, in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to choose that path, but it was only a temporary measure. She never intended to continue in the entertainment industry forever; in fact, deep down, she agreed with Ji Lanyi’s point of view.
Heh... truly like mother, like daughter, Yun Ya thought sardonically.
Looking at the person across from her who seemed to be daydreaming, those pitch-black eyes glimmering with a bewildered light, making her seem ethereal and not of this world.
Gu Cheng asked again, unwilling to give up, and the girl who had been lost in thought suddenly came back to reality and smiled lightly, "No need."
"But..." the young lady raised an eyebrow, causing Gu Cheng’s spirits to flutter, and he immediately beamed with joy, thinking she had changed her mind.
The young lady curled her lip, revealing a hint of playfulness: "I can recommend someone to you..."
——
After leaving the cafe, Yun Ya casually hailed a taxi.
Looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Yun Ya rested her chin in her hands, a touch of icy coldness flitting across her beautiful face.
The pit she had personally dug, she must, not let her efforts be in vain...
Just as Yun Ya got out of the taxi, a luxury car slowly pulled over.
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, and Kang Jinxian in her school uniform got out of the car, her ear-length hair making her appear pure and sweet.
When she saw Yun Ya, her gaze subtly swept over the turning taxi, and walking over with a gentle smile, she asked, "Yun Ya, have you been out today?"
Yun Ya squinted her eyes and nodded with a light chuckle.
The two walked toward the estate together, looking like a close pair of sisters.
"Aunt Ah Xian, is school fun?" Yun Ya asked as if it were an offhand comment.
Kang Jinxian paused, then laughed, "Why would Yun Ya ask that, haven’t you been to school?"
Yun Ya sighed, "I spent a few years in school."
Kang Jinxian’s lips curled into a fleeting sneer.
Not even a few years of schooling, huh, Ji Yunya, you’re really not much after all.
One could guess that without the family’s protection, carrying a burden with her, she did well just to have enough food these years, let alone have the opportunity to go to school. Kang Jinxian intentionally overlooked the inconsistency, subconsciously hypnotizing herself into believing that Ji Yunya had finally been found lacking in comparison to her.
"At your age, you should be studying more to broaden your horizons, otherwise how will you find a good job in the future? Without a good job, your life would be considered finished." After saying this, she glanced at Yun Ya with a faint smile, "However, you’re pretty, marrying a capable man is also a way out, but using your looks to serve others is not a respectable path..."
The sense of superiority and condescension in her voice made Yun Ya involuntarily curl her lips.
"Yeah, auntie, you make a good point." She touched her face, "What do you think about me joining the entertainment industry?"
Kang Jinxian’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned to study the girl’s face carefully. Even with her jealousy, Kang Jinxian had to admit that Ji Yunya was too beautiful. Even in the sea of beauties in the entertainment industry, she was of the top-tier sort, and she was still young, with features that showed a hint of immaturity; when she fully matured... No, she would never let that day come.
"Yun Ya, you are the Miss Yun of the Yun Family, a true lady of society. The entertainment industry is not a place for you, our family can surely support you, the idler." Kang Jinxian looked earnest and well-meaning.
Yun Ya said, somewhat annoyed, "You’re right again, the first lady of society, how could I show my face in the entertainment industry, that would tarnish my status."
