Chapter 58 Maybe I deserve it.

There's been a lot of discussion online, with mixed opinions about Su Xingmian's appearance. Fans are praising her, while rivals are criticizing her for stealing other people's jobs. While acknowledging her professional abilities, some are questioning her character.

Even Ji Yun, who was replaced, liked one of the comments that questioned the replacement.

"Maybe dancers deserve to have their roles taken by popular celebrities."

A Weibo post with a pointed remark landed Su Xingmian, Lian Yu, and others on the trending topics list.

[Lian Yu's desire for fame is written all over her face. From the start of the live stream, she's been fawning over someone. If she's so eager to ride on someone's popularity, why bother dancing? She should just sign with a company and enter the entertainment industry.]

[She can only get a contract if someone is willing to sign it; she's not pretty, so she can only dream.]

[Upstairs, putting everything else aside, Lian Yu's looks are really not bad by entertainment industry standards. You can't criticize her as a person, but your comments about her professional skills and appearance are just baseless slander!]

[Haven't you realized what happened the other day? Su Xingmian is incredibly powerful. Chen Ziqian offended her, and the entire Canshi Group suffered as a result. I advise you all to speak carefully, or you'll be in big trouble.]

Stop being so sarcastic. Canshi has his own problems; what does it have to do with Mianmian?

Anyway, there will be plenty of twists and turns regarding Su Xingmian. I'll remain neutral and just wait for Su Xingmian's response.

[Aitmian is here to slap you in the face, and slap you hard!]

……

The comments and discussions were lively, but Liang Yin and Xu Han didn't notice them at the time, simply because...

Sheng Yuheng is here!
She appeared in the bustling dressing room, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands. The flowers were all of rare and expensive varieties, and they were arranged together in a very elegant and beautiful way.

His appearance was a pleasant surprise for Su Xingmian, but a complete shock to Liang Yin.

After making sure everyone in the room was one of her own, she quietly moved to the door, locked it from the inside, and stood there motionless, guarding it.

"Sisters?" Lian Yu belatedly looked at the girl holding the flowers. "What's going on? You, you two?"

She shook her head, scanning the two people's faces back and forth. Then she looked at Wen Ni and the others standing to the side, who seemed to know all along. She crossed her arms, her small face tense, waiting for an explanation.

"That's it, this is my boyfriend, I don't need to introduce him further, right?"

Lian Yu: "!!!"

It feels like my house has collapsed, but I don't know which one it is. On one side is my dear friend, and on the other is my idol whom I've liked for many years. How can life be so difficult?

She looked at Su Xingmian's flowers with resentment, then glanced at Sheng Yuheng with jealousy, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Then ask Teacher Sheng to sign my autograph, and I won't blame you."

Su Xingmian hooked her little finger around Sheng Yuheng's palm and raised an eyebrow at him.

After the man nodded, Lian Yu carefully took out a stack of photos from her bag.

"Thank you for your help, Teacher Sheng. These are stills I've collected over the years; they're all my treasures. I really love watching your performances."

The entire room fell silent.

First, I was shocked that Lian Yu was a fan of celebrities. Second, how did she manage to carry at least thirty stills of the show with her?

Lian Yu, unusually quick-witted, scratched her head sheepishly and said, "I usually relieve stress by collecting things."

"Teacher Sheng's female fans can actually become good friends with his girlfriend!"

This world has truly turned upside down. When did these two people with different identities become able to get along peacefully?
"No! I'm not a girlfriend fan! I'm a career fan!" Lian Yu glared at Ling Jiayu and instantly changed her fan status.

Then she respectfully accepted the photos Sheng Yuheng handed her, excitedly flipped through them, and cleared her throat: "Teacher Sheng, although I am your fan, if you bully Mianmian, I will unfollow you and turn against you, and I will never protect you!"

She clenched her fists; this was her last act of defiance! "That day will never come."

The stench of this damned romance made Lian Yu's teeth ache. She immediately distanced herself from them and snuggled up to Wen Ni. However, this inevitably led to her eyes meeting Shen Ci's.

In a secluded corner where no one was watching, she avoided Shen Ci's gaze.

-

Originally, Su Xingmian and the others were supposed to return to the troupe after the performance, but in the end they couldn't go against the troupe leader's wishes. The group of them went to the restaurant next door, got a private room, and even ordered drinks.

While waiting for the food to be served, Liang Yin noticed the trending topics on Weibo and instantly became furious.

"This Ji Yun really knows how to turn the tables; he's made perfect use of public opinion."

She came to the rescue just to save the day, but ended up getting herself into trouble. Is her Mianmian some kind of pushover that everyone wants to take advantage of?

The group leader felt dizzy and agitated as he looked at Ji Yun's confusing remarks.

"I will clarify this immediately and will definitely not let Teacher Su be wronged."

He took a glass of wine, drank it apologetically, and then posted the whole story.

One side claimed that their role had been stolen, while the other side said that Ji Yun herself had delayed rehearsals, which is why they asked Su Xingmian to come to their rescue.

With both sides sticking to their own versions of events, netizens who are unaware of the situation are unsure how to rule.

"Then you should all release the evidence."

This comment had the most likes, and the group leader frowned, looking somewhat conflicted.

He had evidence, but Ji Yun's status was what it was. He could replace him, but he never intended to completely break off relations.

Lian Yu frowned. She didn't like being on opposite sides of the scale with that kind of person: "Commander Li, thank you for your guidance over the years. After this tour, I will submit my resignation to the troupe."

She held her wine glass, her attitude very sincere.

Before she could even drink it, a slender, pale hand bypassed the crowd and took the cup directly from her hand.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shen Ci raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

From Lian Yu's angle, she could just see his handsome nose and the delicate curve of his lips. She pursed her lips, hesitant to speak, her eyes flashing with an ambiguous light.

Anyone with eyes can tell there's a story between these two.

But this wasn't the time for gossip. Commander Li rubbed his hands together and said, "Xiao Lian, I won't accept your resignation."

He made up his mind.

……

“I absolutely will not go on stage unless it’s Tian Wei. If you’re so capable, carry her from the hospital onto the stage.”

"What is Lian Yu anyway? She's just a dancer. In the old days, she would have been considered a lowly person. I've put up with her for a long time. Who does she think she is, being so high and mighty?"

His arrogant and conceited tone, and his subconscious categorization of people into different classes, caused the boomerang of public opinion to finally strike Ji Yun himself after these recordings were released.

[Trying to smear netizens like they're Japanese again, huh? Last one was Chen Ziqian, he's finished. Ji, how do you want to die?!]

[I knew there would be a twist. Good heavens, you can't even let someone else fill in if you don't go on stage? It's only because Su Xingmian has such a large following that you can't get revenge. If it were any other dancer, you'd have ruined their career, right?]
