Jian Chenxi’s words began fairly neutral, but as she continued, they were blatantly filled with barbs.
"Actually, I meant well. I’ve been through this before. Although tonight, you stole the show, don’t get too proud."
Ling Momo, who was never one to shy away from a challenge, had not had a direct confrontation with Jian Chenxi since their reunion. Hearing such lukewarm mockery, she coldly smiled and responded without any courtesy, "I really shouldn’t bother Miss Jian to worry about me. Perhaps Miss Jian should worry more about herself. People always say, ’The new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves ahead, and the old waves die on the sandy shores.’ Miss Jian, as an old wave, you better not be crushed by the new waves on the beach!"
Jian Chenxi did not expect Ling Momo to respond so cleanly and sharply. She momentarily stunned, her smile quickly fading. She looked at Ling Momo coldly and said, "Are you declaring war on me by the sound of it?"
"Ling Momo, do you think you haven’t lost enough already?"
Ling Momo understood exactly what Jian Chenxi was hinting at.
Her academics, her music, her love—all were snatched away by her, leaving her utterly defeated!
However, she still had her life left, filled with countless variables. Although it seemed she was on the losing side now, it didn’t mean she would always be.
"I dare to compete with you because I won’t lose!" Ling Momo stared at Jian Chenxi and slowly spat out those fierce words. Then, she walked past Jian Chenxi toward the venue.
This was probably the most powerful statement she had ever made to Jian Chenxi!

Jian Chenxi did not expect Ling Momo to say something like that. Startled, she then scoffed and turned her head, intending to speak but then noticed Zhang Lunan, the CEO of Fenghua Group, approaching them from a distance.
Ling Momo also saw Zhang Lunan, the CEO of Fenghua Group.
As she saw him walking towards them, Ling Momo quickly put on a light smile and was about to greet Zhang Lunan, but Jian Chenxi behind her let out a charming laugh, pulled down her dress to show more cleavage, swaying her hips as she walked past Ling Momo to meet him.
Jian Chenxi quickened her pace, walking briskly, and as she passed Ling Momo, she purposefully bumped her with her hip.
Ling Momo was wearing high heels and almost twisted her ankle with the abrupt force of the bump.
Though she didn’t twist her ankle, it still brought a sudden pain.
As Ling Momo glared angrily at Jian Chenxi, Jian Chenxi had already reached Zhang Lunan and started with a delicate voice, "Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
"Miss Jian, long time no see." Zhang Lunan gave Jian Chenxi a smile back, "Miss Jian, your performance tonight was spectacular."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Hearing such praise, Jian Chenxi turned her head and gave Ling Momo a smug look, then clutched Zhang Lunan’s arm, "Mr. Zhang, let’s go over there. I’ll share a drink with you."
Zhang Lunan’s smile grew bigger, he patted Jian Chenxi on the waist and withdrew his arm, "Wait a moment, I have some other things to handle."
After that, Zhang Lunan turned to Ling Momo and said, "Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Wanru was right not to mislead me, your song tonight was truly refreshing."
Jian Chenxi’s face changed slightly, realizing that her chance to attend the concert tonight had been made possible by Chen Wanru... The legendary diva had actually passed her the opportunity!
Ling Momo caught the displeased expression on Jian Chenxi’s face and felt more proud. She elegantly stepped towards Zhang Lunan and, imitating what Jian had done earlier, she forcefully bumped into her with her hip. But that wasn’t all, the next second, as she moved her feet, she ruthlessly stamped Jian Chenxi’s foot with her high heel and twisted it viciously, then finally opened her mouth, "Mr. Zhang, thank you." Her voice just masked the low pain moan from Jian Chenxi.
[Actually, I can only say, Ling Momo, you really are quite mischievous... That’s all for today, continue tomorrow, everyone from Qingcheng!]
