It was still the seaside villa. Huanhuan, with her protruding belly, was pacing back and forth in the living room.
"Chenxing, you foolish girl, why are you staying here? Why don’t you go back to the Gu Family’s house?"
"What’s going on? Have you reconciled with them or not? Living here feels like you’re so outside kept mistress. How’s this different from living in the Imperial Residents?"
Chenxing was holding an orange, peeling it slowly, "I didn’t want to go back."
"Uh?" Huanhuan was puzzled, "Why?"
Chenxing tilted her head and handed the peeled orange to Huanhuan, "I like the environnt here and Shaocheng stays with every day."
Luo Xi was lying on the side, flipping through channels on the TV, "Right, why should she go back? If I were her and had been chased out, I’d never step in the Gu Family’s house again without a grand entourage."
But that’s not what Chenxing was thinking. She just genuinely liked the peaceful environnt here. Sotis, it was only the two of them all day.
In fact, she had the slightest fear of facing the world.
These days, she had never turned on her phone. She felt like she had completely embarrassed herself at the competition site and didn’t dare to et anyone.
Although Shaocheng had a change of heart in the end, she still wasn’t willing to face the world outside.
Even if the program director’s calls made her phone blow up, they couldn’t reach her.
The mont she abandoned the competition, she only hastily told a staff mber and left. They thought it was sothing said out of sheer emotions. The final round was about to begin but they couldn’t find her, wasn’t this driving them crazy?
Running out of options, the director called Jingru, who had sponsored a large sum of money for the program’s advertisent, hoping to find Chenxing through her.
But it wasn’t Jingru who sponsored that money. It was Shaocheng who, unable to do so himself, used her na to sponsor the ads, aiming to make the program team take special care of Chenxing and prevent her from getting hurt, tired, or bullied during training.
After hanging up, Jingru directly called Shaocheng.
Without a second thought, Shaocheng said, "She won’t participate."
"Isn’t that a bad idea? She’s already in the top three. It’s just a three-way competition to select the champion. There were so rumors about her earlier on. If she flees now, won’t she be taken as confirming those rumors?" Jingru straightforwardly said over the phone.
"This is just City E’s regional competition. Even if she wins, there’s still the finals. This endless competition, I do not want Chenxing to be overexposed in public." Shaocheng’s mouth corner flashed an unhappy curve. "This industry is too complicated and isn’t suited for her. As for those rumors, I will handle them."
When Jingru wanted to persuade more, Shaocheng hung up impatiently.
The source of these rumors was one of the girls in the top three of the competition. The journalist who spread them has been dealt with; he had an ambiguous relationship with the girl and was seeking to take down Chenxing, her rival.
For anyone else, even if they wanted to redeem her reputation, they would have had to let Chenxing participate in the competition. On the final competition, they’d propose or have the male lead appear. then the rumors would fall on their own. Even they would sincerely cheer for Chenxing, who had reclaid her love.
