Chapter 108 - 112: Daring to Compete with You Means Not Losing (2)
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!
If I dare to compete, I won’t lose!
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.
