"You..."
"Have you ever heard the saying, ’Fight fire with fire’?"
Lu Chenxue smiled faintly as she quoted the wisdom of the ancients.
"You wanted to use this grand stage to sar Xinxin’s integrity and reputation, so I will use the very thod you planned to employ to return the favor!"
"You... Lu Chenxue, I really didn’t expect that you’re so insidious!"
"The insidious person here is you. I’m rely going with the flow, turning your strategy against you. Tell , if you hadn’t harbored ill intent to harm Xinxin, how would we have arrived at this outco?"
Lu Chenxue responded calmly, leaving Jian Ziqing’s face ashen with embarrassnt.
As for the judges she knew and the audience below, their gazes were filled with intense disdain as they looked at her!
She was malicious and deserved what she got—no one would sympathize with her!
"I bet in real life you don’t have any true friends, just those so-called ’plastic sisters’—girls you drink tea with, take pictures of, and post to social dia all day long."
"What else do you want to say!"
Jian Ziqing yelled furiously, her eyes wide with rage, as if she were ready to devour soone.
Lu Chenxue had just bombarded her with piece after piece of incriminating evidence, rendering her completely speechless. The evidence was irrefutable—strong enough to leave her without a single point of rebuttal!
Looking at Jian Ziqing, who seed on the verge of exploding in fury, Lu Chenxue offered not a hint of sympathy, casting her a cold glance before turning her gaze to Yan Xinxin, who was standing so distance away, also looking at her.
Before long, she smiled faintly.
"Money can indeed buy many things, but I have always believed that feelings—the bonds we form—are the most solid and priceless treasures in this world. Money can’t buy love, nor can it buy friendship."
The atmosphere in the room was montarily silenced by Lu Chenxue’s words.
"Clap!"
"Clap, clap!"
"Clap, clap, clap—"
Soon, one round of applause sparked countless others, waves of clapping resounded throughout the venue.
Indeed.
How could true friendship ever be bought with money?
As Lu Chenxue’s words echoed in her mind, Yan Xinxin felt her eyes begin to sting with moisture.
She knew.
She knew the Xue she was familiar with wasn’t that kind of person.
The "I’m sorry" she’d said before stepping on stage—there was no way it ant betrayal!
"I deeply apologize for taking up valuable ti. Let’s hand the stage back to the contestants and winners. I trust that this is a fair, impartial, and transparent competition, and I believe that every single winner tonight truly deserves their victory!"
With those final words, Lu Chenxue turned to leave.
Jian Ziqing stood in the middle of the stage, utterly humiliated, unable to move either forward or back.
"Lu Chenxue, don’t walk away!"
"Whoa! What is that?!"
"Oh my god!"
"Isn’t the woman on the screen Jian Ziqing?!"
"Holy crap! She’s had plastic surgery?!"
Suddenly, the audience below began to exclaim in shock as they stared at the LED display screen behind Jian Ziqing.
Jian Ziqing instantly froze, her heart halting as she hastily turned to look at the screen.
It was worse than she’d imagined—seeing it made her heart feel like it might stop altogether!
Her dirty laundry—every vile deed, every compromising deal, all the shaful rules she’d exploited to climb higher.
All of it was being displayed on the screen, complete with photos, videos, and text for everyone to see!
"I knew it! How could she possibly qualify as a judge? Turns out she slept her way up!"
"And seriously, what’s wrong with her brain? She looked fine before, but now she’s turned herself into so snake-faced monster. Ugly people really do cause more trouble!"
"Gross! She was a howrecker too!"
"She’s so disgusting and vile—how could she still dare to use dirty tricks to fra others? People like her are just pests! Get out of here!"
"Ah—"
