Chapter 105 - 109: Seizing the Opportunity, Stunning the Audience (9)
Then it was the next person’s turn to perform. About halfway through their song, Jian Chenxi descended the stage and took a seat not far from Ling Momo, flirting with one of ES’s high-ranking executives every now and then.
Ling Momo sat quietly on the side, knowing there was still some time before her own performance. From time to time, Jian Chenxi would glance back at her, and upon seeing her sitting alone, couldn’t help but let a look of increasing scorn cross her face.
Ling Momo noticed every condescending glance from Jian Chenxi, but her expression remained unchanged as she focused intently on the concert.
When it was the third-from-last performer’s turn, Jian Chenxi whispered something to the executive from ES and stood up with a laugh. Silently, she moved to sit next to Ling Momo. "Why are you all alone? Did your sugar daddy ditch you?"
Ling Momo’s face was calm. She slowly turned her head to look at Jian Chenxi. "Sorry, but I have something to take care of, so I’m leaving now."
Thinking that she ought to go backstage to prepare, Ling Momo said as much, and then rose from her seat.
Seeing her actions, Jian Chenxi interpreted them as fleeing in a panic.
Jian Chenxi’s lips curled into an even more aggressive sneer, her words dripping with sarcasm, "The concert hasn’t ended yet; what’s your hurry? But then again, if I were you, I’d leave too—watching others shine on stage while sitting in the audience. Both dreaming of being a star, yet the gap is so painfully wide..." Jian Chenxi fiddled with her nails, "It must be quite a blow to your ego, isn’t it? If I were you, perhaps I wouldn’t come back tonight at all..."
With her back to Jian Chenxi, Ling Momo heard all the scornful mockery but just curled her lips into a faint smile. Let her say what she wanted now; soon enough, she would make her understand just how ridiculous she was!
