Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian
chapter-1380

At 11:00 p.m., Mo Liuxi drove Yan Su and her brother to the entrance of the restaurant. Yan Jin got off first. “Bye Xixi, I’m very happy to have met you. The next time you visit Jiangxi, I will definitely show you around.”

“How about you?” Mo Liuxi ignored his invitation and looked directly towards Yan Su. “Next week I’ll be following my sister to Hangzhou to watch your competition.”

Yan Su had heard he was going to watch her from Luosang and was rather speechless. However, knowing that he would be there made her a little nervous. “Well… I welcome you to come…”

“Is that all?” Mo Liuxi raised his brows.

“What else do you want? I need to prepare for the competition during this period,” Yan Su replied seriously. “The competition is getting fiercer as it progresses.”

Mo Liuxi stayed silent for a while before he asked, “How far do you personally want to go?”

“In the past, I thought that I’d be content if I made it through the first three rounds. However, the more the competition progresses, the more I want to make it to the finals. At the very least, I want to give it my best shot and leave with no regrets.” As Yan Su spoke, her eyes shone with a yearning for her dream.

“All right.” Mo Liuxi understood and nodded.

She probably wouldn’t be thinking much about romantic relationships during this time. He shouldn’t distract her either.

…

Yan Su had a meal then flew straight back to Hangzhou.

The Saturday before the competition, after two rounds of rehearsals with her team at the broadcasting station, Yan Su said to Ah Ji who was beside her, “I still feel a little dissatisfied. It doesn’t quite have the effect that I want. Something seems to be missing…”

“Susu.” Jiaojiao walked over hurriedly. “We are in trouble.”

Yan Su frowned. Jiaojiao passed her the phone. “These are the photos that reporters took at the press release in Beijing a few days back. Some big V posted it today.”

The photo was of her having an indifferent expression when standing beside Ye Yunyang, and when the two of them walked past each other, they didn’t even acknowledge each other, treating each other with cold civility.

The big V said that ever since Yan Su became famous from being on Asia’s Top Singer, she had been disregarding Ye Yunyang, forgoing even the most basic courtesy and respect for a senior. Some netizens even dug out photos of her smiling at Ye Yunyang when they worked together in the past and called her a snob.

Another singer, Pei Wei, also posted an oddly worded declaration on Weibo: “I remember Ye Yunyang as a humble senior who took care of his juniors. When we auditioned together, I was eliminated. Only he and Yan Su were left. The production crew decided for them to collaborate on the theme song, and for Yan Su to sing the interlude songs. Not only did Ye Yunyang not get upset, he even graciously congratulated Yan Su and shook her hand. Who knew that people would change so drastically?

Many netizens supported Pei Wei in the comments section, saying that Yan Su’s character was questionable.

Some said that the production team didn’t bring Ye Yunyang, but Yan Su, to the Venice Film Festival because she slept with some higher-up. Others said that Shi Xiang had arranged it for her.

Jiaojiao was so angry that she was grinding her teeth. “This Pei Wei has been sore about losing to you back then and is taking this opportunity to step on you by spouting lies. They want to bring you down right as you are becoming famous. Tomorrow is the competition. They are obviously making trouble for you on purpose.”

Seeing the horrible comments online, Yan Su couldn’t continue reading them anymore. “This incident… it was probably planned. During the press conference, I smiled at Ye Yunyang several times, but he ignored me completely. After that, I stopped trying to pretend, which resulted in these kinds of photos being captured.”

“He is definitely upset about the time that you went to Venice without him. After receiving the Golden Lion, you have been basking in the limelight since returning. He probably reached the limit of his generosity,” Jiaojiao said. “Who knows what nonsense he may spout in front of the media.”
