“Dong!” The sound of the wrong note reverberated through the entire hall after Xia Ruya’s fingers slipped off the black piano keys. Her face turned as white as sheet as her delicate body trembled uncontrollably. In the end, she fell for Wen Xinya’s trap.
She deliberately caused her to lower her guard after putting on a facade of helplessness. As a result, she became negligent and subsequently ended up serving as a stepping stone for Wen Xinya with all eyes on her.
In the end, she was nothing more than a supporting role in Wen Xinya’s performance. What a disgrace! She was reduced to just a background character!
Damn you, Wen Xinya!
Wen Xinya’s dancing came to an abrupt stop.
The audience began jeering. “What the heck? How can she just end the performance by playing it wrong? F*ck, I want to continue watching the dance. It’s all that pianist’s fault!”
“Where did that pianist get the face to perform in front of others with her skill level. She had already made quite a few mistakes previously, but they were all covered up by Wen Xinya’s dance. I can’t believe she screwed up at the highlight of the performance.”
“Who knew that not only does Wen Xinya excel in academics, she is even a great dancer. That’s the first time I’ve seen such a high standard of Paso Doble performance. It really got my blood boiling with excitement, to the point where I wanted to rush up on stage and be her male counterpart.”
“I’ve heard many people and even seen numerous posts on the school forum saying that Wen Xinya is just a fraud who’s only good at studying. They were all waiting to watch her make a joke of herself.”
“Hah, Wen Xinya is indeed a queen. She’s always so open and upright. What was that one line from that one television drama again? ‘Whoever dares shame me will be put to shame!’ She proved herself through her actions and humiliated all her haters!”
“Yes, well said. Those who talked bad about her must actually be jealous of her!”
Wen Xinya had gained the acceptance of the students of Lan Feng Institute through her own academic ability and performance skills. This was something that was out of Xia Ruya’s expectations.
After the performance was over, Wen Xinya went to change at the backstage. Suddenly, the door of the dressing room flew open as Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue entered while dragging Xia Ruya with them.
“Get out!” Wen Xinya spurted out with hostility as she glared daggers at the three people in front of her.
“Who do you think you are?” Jiang Yuqian retorted. After being humiliated by Wen Xinya previously, she grew really indignant. The moment Xia Ruya was put to shame as well, she lost all rationality in the heat of anger and dragged Xia Ruya with her immediately after to settle the scores with Wen Xinya.
“Exactly, who do you think you are? Do you really believe you are the queen? And that everybody must bow down and obey your commands?” Xia Ruxue glared at Wen Xinya maliciously as she talked down to her proudly.”
“I’ll say it again. GET OUT!” Wen Xinya hollered as she kept her performance dress. Her voice was cold and stern, filled with murderous intent.
Xia Ruya trembled in fear and took a step back subconsciously. She averted her gaze from Wen Xinya’s with fear and started pulling Jiang Yuqian’s hand. “Qianqian, Ruxue, let’s just go. It’s wrong for us to barge in while Xinya is changing her clothes. If we were to offend her, I’m afraid…”
What originally was advice was completely misinterpreted by the proud and mighty Jiang Yuqian. She gripped Xia Ruya’s hand and replied, “Ruya, you may be scared of her, but I’m not. Who cares if she’s offended? What can she do to me? There’s nothing great about her. Do you think she could even receive that round of applause had she not stolen your spotlight?”
Xia Ruxue added, “Ruya, don’t be scared of her. We have to demand justice for you today. We can’t just let her off for using you as a stepping stone and stealing your spotlight.”
Wen Xinya shot them a cold stare. “Are you done?”
Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue were stunned. Before they could say anything further, Wen Xinya stepped forward at lightning speed and kicked Jiang Yuqian out of the dressing room. Jiang Yuqian shrieked in pain as she landed heavily on the floor at the doorstep.
Xia Ruxue was paralyzed with shock by her action. She took a step back subconsciously and pointed a trembling finger at her before crying out, “Why did you… hit her!”
Wen Xinya grabbed her by the arm and threw her over her shoulders, slamming Xia Ruxue onto the floor at the doorsteps. After the hard fall, she screamed in pain.
“Wen Xinya, you b*tch! How dare you hit me!” The pain at Jiang Yuqian’s stomach was excruciating after getting kicked by Wen Xinya, and the rest of her body ached in pain as well. It was the first time in her life suffering such pain and humiliation, and she could not help but weep uncontrollably on the floor.
“Resorting to violence from a dispute is something only a street hooligan would do.” Xia Ruxue was not in any better state than Jiang Yuqian. Although her arm was not dislocated after getting it twisted by Wen Xinya, it was still incredibly painful. The pain on her body was even more unbearable. After seeing Jiang Yuqian cry, she could not hold back her tears and began wailing as well.
Wen Xinya smiled coldly in response. “Did you forget that I was indeed a street hooligan. I will beat you guys back to your senses now that you have angered me.”
It was utterly ridiculous of them to barge in on her changing room.
The loud cries of Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue attracted the attention of many, and a crowd soon formed as people rushed over to witness the commotion.
Jiang Yuqian thought back to when Wen Xinya humiliated her earlier on at the entrance of the hall. Now, she was even kicked by Wen Xinya. As someone who was used to being arrogant and overbearing, Jiang Yuqian could not take this lying. She shouted in anger, “Wen Xinya, you f*cking b*tch! Who are you to hit Ruxue and I? And how dare you bully Ruya? I will fight you.”
She got up from the floor as she spoke and pounced on Wen Xinya.
Xia Ruxue, mad with anger, rushed towards her too. The two of them surrounded Wen Xinya and started scuffling.
Never did Xia Ruya imagine that things would play out this way. She panicked and cried out desperately, “Qianqian, Ruxue, stop fighting… stop… It’s all my fault, so stop fighting…”
The people that had gathered to watch this commotion were all stupefied. A full out war between three girls. What exactly was going on? At this level, it could be considered the biggest violent dispute of the year at the Lan Feng Institute.
“B*tch, I will put you back in your place today and see if you ever dare to act so arrogantly again!” Jiang Yuqian rained a torrent of swears at Wen Xinya as she reached out to grab her hair.
“Wen Xinya, you despicable villain, how dare you hit me! I will make you pay!” Xia Ruxue lashed out at Wen Xinya’s face in a raging fury.
“Stop fighting, it’s all my fault. You guys, please stop…” Xia Ruya rushed towards them and attempted to break their fight. However, she was sent to the ground by Xia Ruxue, who had lost all her senses, and started crying with pain.
Since Wen Xinya was adept in fighting, there was no way for Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue to actually defeat her. She tugged Jiang Yuqian’s hair in one hand while kicking Xia Ruxue away.
“AHH!” The burning pain on her scalp sent Jiang Yuqian into tears, and she wailed out loud.
“Ouch!” Xia Ruxue fell onto the floor with a loud thud. It was so painful that she could not even stand up.
