Chapter 227: It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I. (3)

She was the dark horse in J City’s Summer Host Selection Competition, stunning everyone with her outstanding looks, unparalleled eloquence, and reflexes, as well as her melodic and moving piano performance. Many people were astonished, and she won as the champion without any suspense.

Chen Junxing suddenly went silent as he saw her in her long form-fitting white dress, smiling beautifully on stage as she received her trophy.

What did she go through this past year?

This person seemed to be her, but also different.

Her temperament and her expression, they were different from that girl who would suddenly become sad every so often.

Chen Junxing smiled lightly. Has she finally walked out of it? Is she working hard to continue on with her life now?

But Chen Junxing wasn’t far off from the truth. Ever since leaving J City that time, Xin Siyue spent several days collecting her own emotions.

She can’t go back anymore, she thought. So, she’ll work hard to live her life to the fullest. She will show Chen Sinan who’s still in that world that even if she has nothing now, she’ll still work hard to climb up to a position where she will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

She survived through her toughest days this year. Working two to three jobs at the same time, she made use of her dancing and piano playing skills, constantly working to improve her financial situation. She even opened a training center of her own and made a name for herself. She participated in countless talent competitions and won many trophies.

A month ago, she quit her job so she could focus on preparing for J City’s Host Selection Competition. Nobody knew how much effort and sweat she poured into each level of the competition, but she earned her coveted entry into the industry.

She told herself that anything was possible as long as she had the guts to work for it.

On the second day after the competition ended, she was able to start her career officially. So, she called up Mother Xin to share the good news with her.

Mother Xin was also overjoyed. “That’s good! That’s wonderful! It’s great that you won!”

“Yeah, Mom. So I won’t be able to return for some time. When I have free time during the weekends, I’ll go pick you up. You can come stay with me. I’ve already started looking at some homes. This time, I’ll get a bigger and more comfortable house.”

“Yes! That would be great!”

When Xin Siyue heard the soft whimper of a sob in her mother’s voice, she couldn’t help but say, “Why are you crying, Mom?”

“I’m just too happy! I’m so happy that I have a capable daughter like you!”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll definitely work even harder so we can have a better life!”

“That’s wonderful! I’m really happy to have a daughter like you. You have to take care of yourself out there, don’t stay up too late at night and remember to eat your meals on time.”

“I know, Mom. You should take care of yourself too. Alright, I still have some work to attend to so I’ll hang up now. Bye Mom.”

But Xin Siyue had no idea that her mother was still holding her phone after she hung up, tears continuing to fall down her cheeks.

It was Xin Siyue’s fourth day at work today. While she was just about to get off, she was stopped by the program team leader from the same show who informed her of a dinner party they wanted her to attend.

Xin Siyue was confused. “What kind of dinner party?” And why did she have to attend?

“Just a dinner with some of the chairmen. It’s all thanks to their generosity that we can keep the show going, and it just so happens they’re all free today. They’ve already made the arrangements, they’re just waiting for us to head over now.”

Xin Siyue’s intuition told her that it wouldn’t be easy to weasel out of this one. So, cautiously she asked, “Then, will Host Xie and Host Zhang be going together as well?”

“Of course! And we’ll be running late if you keep asking questions! Hurry, pack up your things and let’s go.”

Xin Siyue wanted to excuse herself by saying she had something to do, but that person told her directly, “And don’t try telling me you’re not going. Even if you don’t go this time, you’ll still have to go tomorrow! So hurry up, let’s go!”

When she got on the car, Xin Siyue couldn’t stop herself from feeling uncomfortable.

When they arrived at the private room, the sight of the chairmen who were all over forty and fifty-years-old made Xin Siyue feel a little disgusted. Looking around, she saw that she was the only young woman in the entire room. When she looked back at the team leader who brought her here, he was toasting everyone with ease.
