Yun Ya could also imagine saying, "I have an apartment in Jiangzhou. You can stay there for now, and I’ll find someone to take care of you." Lin Sili quickly replied, "I’ve troubled you so much already, I can’t trouble you any further." Yun Ya smiled and said with a chilly voice, "I’m not a saint. One day, you’ll have to repay me, with interest." Lin Sili was startled at first, but then felt this was normal. She relaxed, as if such a relationship would allow her to feel at ease. "Tomorrow I’ll send someone to handle your hospital discharge procedures. Once you’re back home, make sure to rest up and remember, you need to get yourself plump and pale." He emphasized the words "plump and pale", which made Lin Sili’s heart tremble with fear. Today’s recording for the "50 to 20" competition went well; she performed splendidly and advanced again. Although Ming Han still mocked and ridiculed her, the other three judges were full of nothing but praise, and Lin Li even announced on the spot her desire to take her on as a student. Many people speculated that after the show aired, she would definitely become an overnight sensation. Kang Jinxian’s lips curved into a proud smirk; this was what she wanted. After the recording session ended, just as she was about to leave with her bag, a young man approached her. Mai Zheng—Kang Jinxian clenched her fist in anger; this person was just too detestable. Every time he would set a trap for her to fall into, even slapping her in the face in front of the four judges, and yet he always looked so innocent and pure, leaving her frustrated with no outlet for her anger. Mai Zheng, a second-generation star with a famous king for a father, commanded respect from the directors, who would give him a lot of face. Moreover, his good looks and overflowing talent made him a favorite subject of the show’s promotion, leaving her, a newcomer without any backing, to swallow her pride. She had no idea what she did to offend this little tyrant, who always seemed to be at odds with her. Right now, Mai Zheng’s arrival caused an uproar backstage, especially among the girls who were blatantly infatuated. It was well known that Mai Zheng was the most newsworthy and controversial topic in this batch of contestants. Anyone who could get close to him would not only get to eat meat but also drink some soup. Hence, some of the girls always flittered around him like flies, but Mai Zheng, who was good-natured, treated all the girls equally. "Kang Le," Mai Zheng called out her name. Kang Jinxian’s heart skipped a beat; was this little devil going to set her up again? Mai Zheng walked over with a smile, "You sang quite well just now, you have potential." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fiɾe·net Kang Jinxian managed a forced smile, "Thank you for the compliment, you also performed very well." "By the way, that bag of yours is quite nice, it’s the new model from this year, right? My mom has one just like it..." He said, smiling at Kang Jinxian, a smile which, to her, seemed rather sinister. The others’ attention shifted to the bag, and one with sharp eyes said, "Isn’t that the Diro limited edition from this year? The one model Angel carried during Paris Fashion Week, I heard it’s the only one in the whole world, and everyone in the fashion circuit knows Famous King Mai’s wife is a fashion icon, so hers must be genuine." Then they turned to Kang Jinxian with eyes full of mockery, "If you can’t afford it, don’t carry a knockoff, it’s embarrassing." "Exactly, exactly, for a woman vain enough to flaunt a fake, Mai Zheng must’ve seen right through you. With that attitude, you think you can become famous? Don’t make us laugh." Because she sang well, she was already the target of jealousy, and with Mai Zheng always treating her a bit differently, these people had long held grievances against her. Now that they had the opportunity, they didn’t hold back their mockery. Kang Jinxian fled in disarray. The bag was something she had taken from Kang Jinse, unbeknownst to her that it was a counterfeit. It had caused her to lose all face, she was furious to the point of death. Trying to contain her anger, she returned home, only to face Kang Jinse’s overjoyed smile. "Ah Xian, I have great news for you. You’ll definitely be happy for me when you hear it," Jinse said. Kang Jinxian frowned and withdrew her hand from Jinse’s grip, responding indifferently, "What great news? Did you win the lottery? Or did you finally land a lead role?" Kang Jinse shook her head, smiling so hard her eyes were barely visible, "Neither." Kang Jinxian casually picked a banana from the fruit bowl, peeled it, and asked coolly, "Then what is it?" Suddenly, Kang Jinse grabbed her hand excitedly, "Ah Xian, you’re going to be an aunt, no, no, an aunt is not right, you’re going to be an auntie." Kang Jinxian was taken aback, then looked up incredulously and asked, "What did you say?" Kang Jinse’s smile revealed all her teeth, "Ah Xian, I’m pregnant." The banana fell to the floor with a "plop". Her heart suddenly sank to the abyss, her complexion pale.
