Chapter 179: Chapter 180: Pent-up Anger_1 Chapter 179: Chapter 180: Pent-up Anger_1 On the surface, Ye Qing’s words seemed to comfort Bai Xinran. In reality, they were deliberately intended to shift Bai Xinran’s anger onto Qiao Xiaren. One of them was enjoying a streak of success while the other was experiencing a terrible defeat. This stark contrast inevitably ignited the resentment and dissatisfaction in the heart of the loser.
No one knew better than she did that Bai Xinran’s family was in a difficult financial situation, heavily burdened with debt. It was precisely because of this that Bai Xinran was so desperate to break into the entertainment industry.
Entering the entertainment industry was her only chance of escaping her predicament. If that chance was ruined, she would surely be furious, possibly even venting her anger on Qiao Xiaren.
Ye Qing was clearly attempting to incite Bai Xinran’s resentment towards Qiao Xiaren, perhaps even helping her eliminate a potential obstacle on her path. Ye Qing’s intentions were clearly self-serving, yet Xiaren didn’t show the slightest interest in her machinations.
“Ye Qing, what do you mean?”
Ye Qing feigned innocence, “Did I say something wrong?”
Liao Ling felt indignant. There were always people in this world who seemed bent on blaming others for their own shortcomings. Xiaren had consistently excelled due to her own efforts, hadn’t she?
Her gaze fell on Qiao Xiaren, and there was a strange, resentful look in Bai Xinran’s eyes, “Qiao Xiaren, why are you always so lucky? Why, why was I eliminated? If it wasn’t for you, I could definitely have stayed! It’s all your fault, you caused me to be eliminated! I know I offended you at school before, but do you really need to seek revenge ?”
Thinking of Qiao Xiaren’s repeated success despite the attempts to suppress her popularity, Bai Xinran’s resentment deepened. The world was so unfair because of people like Qiao Xiaren!
“Bai Xinran, are you suffering from paranoia? What does your elimination have to do with Qiao Xiaren?”
Liao Ling was almost laughing out of anger. How could there be someone with such twisted thinking, blaming others for their own lack of effort?
“Instead of questioning my luck, question your own effort when you first started,” Qiao Xiaren’s voice was faint, she didn’t even bother to make eye contact.
Being in debt wasn’t her fault, but blaming others for beeing not diligent enough themselves, was a bit over the top.
She was well aware of Bai Xinran’s financial situation. Even though Bai Xinran had been eliminated during the initial audition for the Starlight Cup, she would still find a way to make it into the entertainment industry in the future.
Even if she vented her anger and resentment on her, she wasn’t afraid! In her past life, both Bai Xinran and Ye Qing had smeared her reputation, she remembered all of it. This time, she would pay them back for all the pain they had caused her.
“Monica, take them back to the dormitory to pack,” Sang Xiao said, serious and uncompromising.
“Understood.” The assistant Monica led the eliminated Rong Yuyu and Bai Xinran out of the dance studio. Both were resentful, but neither said another word.
Nie Yitong, having watched the scene, gracefully approached the remaining contestants: “That was quite a show. Congratulations to the six of you for staying. But don’t celebrate prematurely; there is still a market assessment to pass. I know all of you are eager to join SGS, but they are only recruiting three this time. You should all strive hard.”
Seeing the successful induction of anxiety among the contestants, a smirk appeared on Nie Yitong’s face. However, noting the indifference of Qiao Xiaren and Shi Ruo, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
No wonder she found Qiao Xiaren annoying at first sight, she reminded her of Shi Ruo. It was infuriating how they both seemed unconcerned with everything!
