Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 124 - Hang In There!



Chapter 124: Hang In There!

What was that look? Was Shen Xi trying to mock her or look down on her?

What gave Shen Xi the right to look down on her? Was it the horrible design that did not qualify her to the finals?

Not to put Su Ruowan down, Shen Xi nonchalantly replied, “It was my mom’s birthday. I didn’t have the time.”

“Shen Xi, who are you trying to fool? You weren’t even shortlisted. You’re a joke to talk about the finals and using a stage name.”

Taking the lead, Chen Bingbing arrogantly laughed out loud.

“She’s only here to give us something to laugh about. It’s hysterical. Just admit you have no talent. Don’t try and put up a front.” Girlfriend A covered her mouth and snickered.

“Shen Xi, where’s your trophy? Come on, show us!” Girlfriend B threw her a scornful and mocking look.

“Don’t put her in the spot. I’ll eat sh*t if she can show us the trophy.” Girlfriend C laughed her head off.

“Are you really going to eat sh*t if I show you the trophy?” Lifting her head, Shen Xi darted a cold and aloof look at Girlfriend C.

The roaring laughter came to an abrupt stop among the group who were taunting Shen Xi.

As color drained from her face, Su Ruowan became nervous and tried to sound her out. “Shen Xi, they were only joking. Don’t make it difficult for them. They won’t act this way if you just show us the trophy, on the assumption that you have it.”

“What? Are you that afraid I won first place?” A contrast to Su Ruowan’s horrified and discolored complexion, Shen Xi was smiling brightly, with an unfathomable glint in her eyes.

Su Ruowan knew for a fact that it was impossible, and that Shen Xi was merely trying her luck, having known that Cai Ni, the winner, was not there to accept the award just so she could mess with Su Ruowan’s mind. Nevertheless, it was hard not to harbor suspicion following Shen Xi’s words and the look in her eyes.

“Wanwan, there’s no point talking to this sort of person.” Chen Bingbing angrily pulled Su Ruowan away while looking daggers at Shen Xi.

Honestly speaking, Chen Bingbing was afraid of Shen Xi and refrained from crossing her, probably because Shen Xi carried herself with an air that stood for no nonsense. Chen Bingbing would at most get a one-up by ridiculing and mocking her.

“Shen Xi, it’s fine even if you didn’t win anything.” Letting out a gentle smile, Su Ruowan made a gesture to cheer her on. “Hang in there! I believe you can do it.”

Shen Xi curled her lips in contempt towards Su Ruowan’s pretentiously fake smile.

Su Ruowan only looked for Shen Xi to ascertain whether she was Cai Ni. She would relax since the latter was unable to produce the gold medal.

Shen Xi, that b*tch, deliberately misled her to cast doubt and make fun of her.

Yes. She should not be fooled and give Shen Xi the satisfaction!

Changing the topic from Shen Xi, Chen Bingbing and the rest began a discussion on “The Smiling Nation”.

“Did you watch the show yesterday? It was great. Every episode is to die for. The awesome screenwriter has won me over.”

“Every episode is to die for? More like, every minute is to die for! I don’t want to accelerate the show even by one minute. The actors are amazing, even down to extras. That’s some solid acting.”

“The male and female leads are newbies but they can act way better than those influencers with huge followings. I heard that it was a live recording. I’ve got to give it to the actors memorizing their lines.”

“The male lead, He Pei, is such a hottie. Good looks, great acting skills, especially his eyes that can really tell stories. I can bet that he will be a hit. The screenwriter sure has an eye for picking actors. Love it!”

Clutching her chest, Chen Bingbing shrieked while drooling over the male lead. It was love at first sight for her, having been swept off her feet by He Pei. Nothing was of significance to her, except for He Pei.
