Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 64: Lie To Her On Purpose

“I’m blushing from your compliments. It’s all luck.” Grinning from ear to ear, Su Ruowan appeared modest.

Mom, Dad, and her brothers were excited for her to be shortlisted for the finals. They went out their way to celebrate last night and bought her an expensive gift.

She was able to hold her head up at last and beat Shen Xi after losing to her in the dance competition.

The international fashion design competition was not a place where any Tom, Dick, or Harry could make it to the finals.

The national dance competition was nothing compared to the international fashion competition!

“Luck? I don’t see anyone else with such luck.” Throwing a look of disdain at Shen Xi at the back row, Chen Bingbing deliberately spoke aloud in a cynical tone, “I heard that a certain somebody in the international class is conceited enough to join the competition!”

“My uncle is LK’s design director in the China division, and happens to be the competition’s judge for the Asian region. I hadn’t heard of anyone else going into the finals, apart from Wanwan.”

“That’s right. A hick from the countryside will always be a hick. To show off about her knowledge of fashion and design, she sure has the cheek.”

“If I were her, I won’t tell anyone that I have joined the design competition to save myself from the embarrassment.”

Su Ruowan’s besties took turns to sneer and jeer at Shen Xi without actually naming names.

“Don’t say so.” Su Ruowan turned to Shen Xi. “Xixi, I’m sorry. Let me apologize on their behalf.”

Her words pretty much validated that they were mocking Shen Xi.

Completely ignoring her, Shen Xi had her head down as she focused on her mock test papers.

Su Ruowan seemed to be hurt by her attitude but she pretended all was good and let out a gentle smile. “Xixi, you’re so smart. I’m sure you will make it the next time. Keep it up.”

Shen Xi really could not stand her pretentiousness and fakeness. Her aloof voice carried an obvious hint of ridicule. “Who told you that it’s compulsory to use one’s real name to join a design competition?”

“Xixi, are you saying that you used a stage name?” Su Ruowan was alarmed by this information.

She had to keep it together!

No amount of deception should allow Shen Xi to take the wind out of her sail.

What would a country hick know about design?

“None of your business.” Shen Xi cockily scoffed.

Su Ruowan could be conflicted, anxious, on the edge of her seat, and guess all she wanted. It was great to stuff it to Su Ruowan, that b*tch!

“Wanwan, just leave her. You can be nice to this insolent thing but she’s a thankless wretch.” Chen Bingbing was enraged by Shen Xi.

What the hell!

Wanwan showed concern and gave Shen Xi respect by talking to her but look at the latter’s attitude.

The remaining girlfriends comforted and talked some sense into Su Ruowan, telling her to stay out of Shen Xi’s matters to save her from dismay.

Su Ruowan furrowed her brows, dwelling in severe anxiety and uncertainty that left a pit in her stomach.

Did Shen Xi really use a stage name instead of her real name to participate in the competition?

Perhaps she lied on purpose to piss her off?

Chen Bingbing and her other girlfriends were sure that Shen Xi was lying, commenting that the international class would have announced it to the world if she made it to the finals.

Su Ruowan thought the same.

Shen Xi, that shameless b*tch, was the kind to get carried away by a tiny milestone. She would have sounded the drums to the whole world if she really was in the finals.

Even if she kept mum, the international class would have paraded that fact all over.

Hence, Shen Xi must be lying to irk her and mess with her head!
