Chapter 289 - 114 The person in the dream is far from enough_8
"It’s all just acting, to see who can put on a better show. This girl is wasting her talent on singing; she should consider moving into film and television instead. She’d have a much brighter future than being a singer."
Kang Jinxian’s complexion showed a moment of discomfort, but she quickly regained her composure, betraying no sign of weakness.
Despite having advanced to the next round, she felt no joy in her heart at all.
This Ming Han is indeed in cahoots with Ji Yunya, equally detestable.
Yun Ya watched the bustling scene on the screen, her lips curving slightly upward.
Old friends, indeed.
Ming Han’s confrontation with Jinxian was a delightful sight for her; ten years had passed, and many people had changed.
The proud young boy had turned into a warm-hearted youth, the sweet-faced idol had transformed into a sharp-tongued uncle. But as Ming Han said, they’re all just acting. Who really knows what they’re like in private?
She watched Jinxian walk off the stage, her slender figure as graceful as a willow, a sight to behold.
A mocking smile flickered in her eyes.
Kang Jinxian, the higher you climb today, the harder you’ll fall tomorrow.
Enjoy the grand dreams I’ve woven for you a little longer.
When you fall from the clouds to the mire, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to get back up again.
She even amused herself by envisioning the scenes of the future, her lips curling up with pride.
Incest between siblings, catfights between sisters, the risqué acts of a so-called innocent girl, layer by layer the facade is stripped away, revealing a rotten melon. The deceived audience and fans could drown you with a single spit each.
No, that’s still not enough...
Thinking of something, Yun Ya took out her cellphone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Director Yuan?"
——
Upon returning backstage, Jinxian noticed the veiled hostility in the eyes of the other contestants as they looked at her.
Jinxian smiled subtly, taking a seat quietly in a corner.
Suddenly, the crowd stirred, and as Jinxian looked up, a handsome young man with a guitar on his back walked by, prompting several female contestants to swoon.
"That’s Famous King Mai’s son, he’s so handsome..."
"His song just now was so good, he’s my new idol from now on."
The chatter was incessant, and the young man’s face bore a springlike smile, looking exceptionally approachable. He even waved at a cute, round-faced girl, who immediately covered her mouth and shrieked excitedly.
As Mai Zheng passed by Jinxian, he raised an eyebrow at her, emotions unreadable in his eyes.
"Not bad."
He said, then walked away.
Feeling the envious and resentful gazes, Jinxian straightened her chest, inwardly pleased, but her face remained subtly smiling.
After a moment’s thought, she rose and followed him.
Jinxian bent to wash her hands. Soon after, the young man walked out of the men’s room with his guitar. Jinxian looked at him with a smile, "You’re really talented, and you sing well too."
His face still wore a smile, but at her words he gave her a glance, the wicked amusement in his eyes causing Jinxian to freeze.
As he walked past her, his guitar accidently bumped into Jinxian, pushing her against the washstand. She let out a soft "umph," looking at him with a hint of indignation.
With his hand still covered in water droplets, he suddenly flicked them off, splashing Jinxian’s face. Instinctively she reached to cover her face, only to hear his cold, mocking voice.
"You damaged my guitar, think you can afford to pay for that?"
His sudden change of face was astonishing.
Disbelieving, Jinxian looked at him, "You...."
"Me what?" The young man arched his eyebrow, a hint of arrogance hiding in its arch. His lips curled into a smile that seemed somewhat sinister.
"Thinking of using me to climb up in the world? Why don’t you just shoot for the stars?" He said with a snort, then walked away casually with his hands in his pockets.
Jinxian wiped her face hard, stamping her foot in anger.
As expected, anyone connected to Ji Yunya rubs her the wrong way!
