Chapter 317: Chapter 317: I Thought You Weren’t Coming Today Translator: 549690339 She looked at the girl holding the guitar and feigned magnanimity as she comforted her, “Qi Yue, for my sake, will you please not be mad at Yaya? She didn’t mean any harm with what she said just now.” With her saying this, others immediately chimed in, praising her for being so easygoing and always accommodating the overbearing Fu Ya and the like. The only one untouched by her comfort was the girl in the corner who remained silent, oblivious to the buzz around her as she glanced occasionally at the door as if waiting for someone. Finally, a striking presence appeared at the villa’s entrance. The girl’s eyes lit up, and she stood up. Even though the others hadn’t been paying attention to her until then, the scale of her movement caught their eyes. They turned their heads and, upon seeing Rong Yan by the door, their expressions changed as if mice had seen a cat, and like a flock of birds, they scattered, their mouths snapping shut.

“Rong Yan, good morning.” “Good morning.” “Rong Yan, morning.” “Morning.” During this period, Rong Yan had gotten to know the show’s staff fairly well. Along the way, many staff members greeted her, and she, without any pretense, smiled and greeted them back. That confidence emanating from within made Xia Xue’s sweet visage unable to hide her envy. She clenched her hands tightly, suppressing the jealousy that shimmered in her eyes, and with a smile, she approached with a greeting, “Rong Yan, you finally arrived. The recording is about to start, and you weren’t here; we thought you wouldn’t come today.” “Why wouldn’t I come?” Rong Yan, seeing the person who suddenly approached her with enthusiasm, responded indifferently and retorted. As if she had the nerve to ask, after her own deeds! Ads by PubFuture
Xia Xue felt that Rong Yan was deliberately making things difficult for her, and with a forced and awkward smile, she said, “I just saw the time for the recording is close, and Yaya said you hadn’t arrived, so I thought you might be busy with the movie and couldn’t make it. It was a misunderstanding. I’m sorry, Rong Yan.” Ch êck out l t st v l on nov l/bin(.)c m Rong Yan gave her a glance and did not pursue the conversation. She walked past her, heading straight for the most plain-looking girl in the crowd, “Qi Yue, good morning.” The girl, who normally lacked presence, suddenly became flustered by the direct greeting; after a pause, she squeezed out a muffled, “Morning.” Accustomed to her introverted nature, Rong Yan took the initiative to say, “The recording is about to start. Let’s head over.” “…Yeah… okay.” The two, one after the other, vanished around the staircase corner. Xia Xue’s face turned pale, her fake smile barely hanging on. Forcing herself to display a pained expression, she hung her head low and said with unease, “What should I do, is Rong Yan mad at me? It’s all my fault for saying the wrong things.” The girl beside her immediately spoke up in her defense, “What does it have to do with you? It’s obviously Rong Yan who is too arrogant. What is there for her to be arrogant about? Her own illegitimate child scandal has already broken out, yet she still thinks she can rise to stardom! Just wait to be eliminated!” “It shouldn’t be like that. Rong Yan is the most popular, the one the company is pushing, and outside, it’s just rumors; it shouldn’t affect the outcome of our competition.” “Pfft. The competition still depends on the reaction of the audience. With her current track record, no matter how popular she is, just wait. When online voting goes live, her numbers are definitely going to plummet!” another girl said indignantly, “Besides, her causing such a scandal is bad for us too. We all agreed; we’ll all ignore her. Let’s see how she cleans up her act then!” Hearing that they were planning to isolate Rong Yan, Xia Xue showed a troubled yet reluctant expression on her face, yet her heart burst with joy.
