Chapter 555 - 249.3
When Shen Weiyi took the stage, the screams and shouts from her fans almost threatened to shatter the sunshade roof over the lawn.The song lasted just under three minutes.
She performed the song that won her the Best Singer award four years ago. The moment she began singing, Wanxia stood up, as all eyes were drawn to the goddess, and she easily made her way backstage.
Shen Weiyi finished her song and left the stage without saying a single extra word, a true first-class superstar’s demeanor.
Wanxia leaned against the doorframe of the waiting room, her fair fingers twirling a lock of hair lazily, "Miss Shen, how have you been?"
The manager behind Shen Weiyi intended to drive away irrelevant people but was stopped by Shen Weiyi raising her hand.
Dressed in a white long dress, with exquisite makeup, she smiled politely, "Indeed, it’s been a while. How have you been these past few years, Wanxia?"
"Not well, I’ve been having nightmares every night," Wanxia shook her head, slowly lifting her eyes to look at the person in front of her, the smile in her eyes as calm as water. "Looking at you, Miss Shen, you must be doing quite well."
It’s quite admirable how Shen the Superstar so comfortably enjoys a life stolen from someone else.
At Wanxia’s words, the smile on Shen Weiyi’s lips froze momentarily but quickly vanished.
She maintained her beautiful, gentle goddess image, her voice soft and melodious, "A bit of wine before sleep, and you’ll dream happily till dawn."
"Really?" Facing the manager’s nervous and guarded gaze, Wanxia chuckled, "Looks like Miss Shen is quite experienced. I’ll try it tonight."
What’s there to be nervous about?
It’s not like she would stab Shen the Superstar in the chest.
Shen Weiyi checked the time on her phone and apologized, "Wanxia, do you have anything else? I have evening events to attend to and need to freshen up, change clothes, so..."
The implication to leave was clear, but Wanxia still leaned against the door, unmoving.
With teasing eyes and a hand covering her mouth in mock surprise, "Miss Shen, you’re one of the top stars in the Gu Family, surely you don’t have to work so hard for a living?"
The tone was drawn out, laden with sarcasm.
The manager didn’t look pleased, "Our Weiwei is rushing to record a show, please let Miss Ji through!"
What did Ji Wanxia mean by this?
Just by her aloof grin, one might think Weiwei was off to sell herself.
Even with the blatant sarcasm in the opponent’s eyes, Shen Weiyi’s expression didn’t change, "It’s alright, just a busy few days recently."
Wanxia nodded, stepping aside as she smiled lightly, "Miss Shen, you’re busy, I won’t hold you up then."
The rest room door closed, and in the hallway, Wanxia could still hear the manager’s disgruntled grumbling.
She was smiling, but the smile never reached her eyes.
Four years ago, Shen the Superstar said to her, "Ji Wanxia, no matter what I’ve done, Shaozhi will never harm me because of you, do you believe it?"
That was confidence born from the heart.
Wanxia chuckled softly, yet there wasn’t a trace of warmth in her eyes.
Her lips, a shade of vermilion, parted slightly, "Shen Weiyi, we have a long road ahead, I hope you can continue to be... so glorious."
Truly getting revenge on someone, destroying everything she holds dear, is far more satisfying than simply letting her die.

Jin Sinan placed the excited Pea onto a chair, leaned forward, his handsome, chiseled face nearing Wanxia, as he placed one hand on the armrest of the wicker chair, "Miss Ji, look at the sweat on my forehead."
Maintaining a distance between intimacy and jest, he raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Would it be too much to ask if you treated me to a meal?"
Leaning lazily against the chair back, Wanxia elegantly sipped her juice, showing no hint of discontent or annoyance at the man’s flirtatious behavior.
Not only was his forehead beaded with sweat, but it also covered his neck and arms, with half of his white shirt soaked.
Carrying the chubby Pea for a stroll around the entire lawn certainly wasn’t easy.
She shook her head, "Not tonight."
Jin Sinan leaned even closer, the subtle scent from the woman wafted around his nose, making him desire more at this moment.
He deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Why not?"
Someone who captures your heart at first glance, how could you willingly give up?
As the sun set in the evening, half the sky was dyed orange-yellow.
A tall and upright man walked towards this direction against the light, in a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, suit trousers with not a single crease wrapped around his long legs, and black leather shoes stepping on the lawn without a speck of dust.
