Luo Xiao Qian looked at Leng Zimo, silent and without a word.
Those who believe need no explanation, what use is there in explaining to those who don’t?
She tried to control her emotions, merely clenching her injured finger subconsciously. She didn’t know whether it was because she was gripping it too tightly or if the finger truly connected to the heart, but her heart seemed to ache along with it.
Below the stage, whispers filled the air, and people naturally took her silence as an admission.
Leng Zimo narrowed his eyes, watching the stubborn girl standing on the stage, his frown deepening.
Could it be, he was wrong?!
"Damn it!"
Backstage, Xu Xia watched the image on the large back projection, cursing out loud in anger.
Luo Xiao Qian’s character was something Xu Xia knew best; she absolutely couldn’t have done such a thing.
Turning around, she made a dash for the stage, but someone hurried over and grabbed her arm.
"Xu Xia, you need to calm down!" Tong Ya dragged her to the side.
"But, Xiao Qian... she’s been wronged!" Xu Xia shouted in frustration.
Tong Ya’s palm pressed down firmly on her shoulder, his voice even deeper than his gaze, "Don’t forget, this is her competition!"
The entertainment industry seems glamorous, but beneath that glamour lies darkness and coldness beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Which famous actor doesn’t have their share of bitter tears?
To see the flowers, one must walk down this thorn-covered road with strength.
"Now, please welcome Shen Xinyi back to the stage with your applause!"
Below the stage, applause erupted as Shen Xinyi walked onto the stage once again.
Her eyes were full of barely concealed triumph and excitement.
Earlier, watching Luo Xiao Qian receive such harsh criticism, she even felt a bit of regret for what she had done. But now, it seemed that the risk was well worth it!
She didn’t believe that Luo Xiao Qian, so deeply wounded now, still had the strength to compete with her.
The two hosts brought Luo Xiao Qian and Shen Xinyi to the center of the stage, and Han Jun handed the microphone to Shen Xinyi, "Shen Xinyi, can you share your feelings right now?"
"I’m very nervous but also excited. I don’t want to say much, I just want to express that I will give a hundred percent of my sincerity and effort in the competition against Luo Xiao Qian!" Shen Xinyi emphasized the word "sincerity," her insinuation clear.
