The audience was all seated in the Golden Hall.
It was quiet, as everyone was looking forward to the show.
The Chinese Dancers Association represented the world-class caliber of the dances in China.
A great visual feast was about to be presented to the audience here.
Guan Yue had already taken her seat while Ms. Shu and Xixi were prepping backstage. She wanted to watch Xixi’s performance from the auditorium and Ms. Shu gave her the go-ahead.
Nevertheless, Li Jingran and her family’s attendance caught Guan Yue by surprise. They were sitting to the left of Guan Yue.
Su Ruowan read the program list in her hand in confusion and whispered a question, “Ms. Guan Yue, why isn’t the name of Flower Fairy’s performer listed?”
With Guan Yue in the audience stand, Shu Baiyu must be the performer.
However, how was she able to dance with that leg of hers? She would probably be crippled for the rest of her life if she went on with it.
Guan Yue politely replied, “I’m not sure.”
Judging by that answer, Su Ruowan knew Guan Yue was intentionally withholding information. Smiling awkwardly, she swallowed her temper and probed for answers. “It must be Ms. Shu. I’m so happy to watch her perform again!”
Guan Yue responded faintly with a stoic face, “It’s not my teacher.”
Su Ruowan’s heart skipped a beat. Who could it be if it was not Shu Baiyu or Guan Yue? She ensued with another question, “Who is going to dance in place of Ms. Shu?”
She had an inkling.
Nevertheless, Su Ruowan quickly dismissed that thought. No way. Impossible. Hell no. She must be overthinking it.
Shen Xi, the b*tch was here just to learn how to stitch from Huo Yuping. She was unqualified to stand in for Shu Baiyu’s Flower Fairy dance.
Guan Yue’s cold eyes lit with a hint of cynicism. “You’d know soon enough.”
“What a pity. My mom and I came specially to support Ms. Shu,” Su Ruowan expressed her disappointment before changing the topic. “But Ms. Guan Yue, as Ms. Shu’s only student, you should be on stage. Why is someone else dancing instead?”
“She’s a better dancer,” Guan Yue darted her an icy look.
The young lady from the Su family sure had a mouth on her and was quite fluent in sowing seeds of discord between her words.
Su Ruowan was feeling restless yet pretended to press Guan Yue with questions in fascination. Getting the snub from Guan Yue, Su Ruowan smiled embarrassedly, “Well, Ms. Guan Yue, I should leave you to whatever you were doing.”
Guan Yue was an idiot! Despite learning from Shu Baiyu for two decades, Guan Yue could not even substitute for Shu Baiyu in a performance. What was with that arrogance? Who did Guan Yue think she was?
Sitting next to them, Li Jingran picked up on their conversation. She looked rather torn as a wave of resentment overwhelmed her. She turned to whisper in Su Yi’s ear.
If the performer was neither Shu Baiyu, nor Guan Yue, could it be Shen Xi, the brat?
How was it possible?
Shu Baiyu and Guan Yue would not stoop that low and suck up to Shen Xi after being turned down again and again.
With the program in her hands, Su Ruowan was telling Su Muxuan about the different dancers, their popularity, and their genre.
Su Muxuan had his head in the clouds as he nonchalantly played the listener until suddenly, color drained from his face. His piercing gaze aimed in one direction.

Su Ruowan followed his eyes to a mysterious man. The man – geared from head to toe in sunglasses, a mask, a huge dark down jacket, and a hat – looked out of place in contrast with the ambiance of the Golden Hall.
There was a certain kind of people who, despite their outfits or layers of clothes, was unable to conceal that air of regality surrounding them. The man was like a king surveying his kingdom.
“Muxuan, you know him?” Su Ruowan asked in a hushed tone.
Su Muxuan shook his head. The scowl in his eyes remained as he hissed. “I don’t.”
This man was the pretty boy who fought with him that night because of Shen Xi, that b*tch.
Since Su Muxuan saw him as the enemy, he could easily identify him from the crowd.
Finding it strange, Su Ruowan murmured, “Why did the guards let him in wearing that? That’s weird.”
There was a strict dress code to enter the venue. Men should be in suits while women were to wear evening gowns.
Su Ruowan was certain that for him to be allowed entry even with the strange outfit, he was no average joe.
As the man took a seat beside her, Guan Yue mumbled a question. “Why are you here?”
Xixi requested a ticket from Ms. Shu the other day, but it was later returned. She said the invitation was declined and looked pretty beat up about it.
It was only because he turned down the ticket that Guan Yue could watch from the house. The ticket was hard to get and Ms. Shu only managed to obtain one through her connection.
“You got the wrong guy. I don’t know you,” Fu Qingxuan was surprised that he was recognized just moments after his arrival.
He did not accept the ticket from the meanie.
He later managed to get his hands on a ticket with the intention to covertly watch her performance.
Guan Yue chuckled, “So you’re not Fu Qingxuan?”
“Nope,” he mumbled. He would not and could not acknowledge his identity. There would be no end to the teasing if the meanie ever found out.
Guan Yue was wise and would not make a fuss since he was reluctant to admit it to her. She shook her head and smiled to herself, sensible enough to stop with the questions. However, she was tempted to take another glance at him.
It was such a poor disguise to go for an over-the-top look. He was sitting right in the center of the audience too. Anyone would spot the huge distraction that he was.
Fu Qingxuan sat upright with the program in his hands. Which was the meanie’s performance?
He had no interest in watching the others and only had eyes on hers.
Fu Qingxuan wanted to ask Guan Yue but could not as it would expose his identity.
Su Ruowan was keenly eavesdropping, and her heart leaped when she heard the name “Fu Qingxuan ” was brought up. She tried to take it easy.
Fu Qingxuan?
Fu Qingxuan was Fu Qingye’s younger brother and the youngest and most coddled son in the Fu family. Coined the prodigy in the medical field, Fu Qingxuan was the youngest and the best medical scientist in the world. He was said to be the future of medicine.
Such luck to bump into Fu Qingxuan here!
Su Yi thought of the world of Shen Xi and wanted her home by any means possible just because that b*tch was a tiny bit close to Fu Qingye. Su Yi’s actions humiliated and hurt Su Ruowan, and he completely disregarded her feelings.
If Su Ruowan could bag Fu Qingxuan, Su Yi would turn around and be at her beck and call instead.
This was a gift from the Heavens. She must hold on to the opportunity and not let it slip. With a keen resolve, Su Ruowan turned to Guan Yue and whispered, “Ms. Guan Yue, could you switch places with me?”
