Back at the company…
Chen Ai snuggled up close to Yin Roulan, doing everything to suck up to her.
"Youlan, I heard we got the opportunity to partner with sister Meng thanks to your brother. I'm so excited. This is all because of you!" Chen Ai said, her mouth about to tear from how wide it was.
They were in the company's dance practice room, and Yin Roulan smiled brightly, clearly enjoying all of the attention on her.
She looked around the room, all the girls had flattering smiles on their faces, which made her feel on top of the world.
"You guys, it's not just my brother's effort. It's also because of the hard work of Shimmer," she said, and shook her head.
"Come on, Roulan, you don't have to be modest. We all know that it's because of you. We are only so lucky because we are associated with you! You are really too modest!" Chen Ai could not wait to lick her feet.
"Yes. Yes...that's true. You...."
"Is that Jia Lingyi?!". Someone exclaimed, and they all looked towards the door.
It was indeed Jia Lingyi, walking in like nothing had happened!
Different scenes flashed past Jia Lingyi's mind as she stepped into the practice room.
Singing and dancing till her voice cracked and her feet hurt.
Working hard to make sure that she got a chance, and then despite being the one to write the songs, to the public, Yin Roulan was Shimmer's genius songwriter. Having all of her hard work stolen and used to promote another person!
Jia Lingyi's jaw tightened as she felt anger wash all over her.
She promised herself that she would get revenge for the original Jia Lingyi.
She would make sure the people who used her and kicked her to the side regret their actions and pay!
She snapped out of her reverie when she intense gazed at her.
Jia Lingyi looked up, saw that the other members of her group and company trainees were gathered around Yin Roulan.
She was being flattered, and pretending to be humble as usual.
"Jia Lingyi! I can't believe you actually have the guts to come back here! Not only did you drag down the group, but you also almost ruined our comeback! You really have some nerve!" Chen Ai was the first person to speak up, her eyes piercing deep into Jia Lingyi.
Jia Lingyi folded her arms across her chest as she glared at all of the girls.
She was reminded of how she was bullied and how she could never find who did it.
Locking her inside the practice room, stealing her clothes and other stuff....these were just a few of the things that had been done to her.
"I didn't know that I needed your permission to come to practice."
When Jia Lingyi opened her mouth, all of the girls felt as if they had been struck by something.
Her intense gaze left them feeling uneasy. Like she would hit them if they said something she did not like.
Before she attempted suicide, Jia Lingyi had not dare to look them in the eye!
Her acting like this left them feeling confused and a bit scared.
"Lingyi, don't take this the wrong way. We are all just worried about you. You…. well you tried to take your own life because of what anti fans were saying about you online. We all just think that you should take a bit of time off and rest." Yin Roulan blinked innocently as she said this, playing the role of a concerned teammate.
She walked over to Lingyi and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You shouldn't stress yourself too much. It's fine if you can't be an idol anymore. You could always work behind the scenes. Didn't you always use to say that you liked to write songs the most?"
Yin Roulan had a soft smile on her face, but only she and Jia Lingyi knew what she meant by her words. She was secretly trying to provoke her!
The former Jia Lingyi wasn't just good at singing and dancing, she had also written a good portion of the group's songs.
However, all of them were credited to Yin Roulan.
Jia Lingyi sneered. She wasn't a fool. She had been in the industry since she was 13.
Tricks like this were too low level in her eyes. Yin Roulan was bringing this up so she could lose her temper and do something to her.
Then, she, Yin Roulan, would be the victim, and Jia Lingyi would be the crazy person who was here to cause trouble again.
Jia Lingyi gently removed Yin Roulan's hand from her shoulder.
"Like I said yesterday, since the CEO hasn't kicked me out of the group yet, I am still a part of Shimmer, and until my contract is terminated, I will keep on doing what I should!"
Yin Roulan's face fell. This wasn't how she expected things would go.
She thought Jia Lingyi would lose her temper and cause a scene like always. Trying to explain herself..
But she seemed calmer and more in control of her emotions.
What happened to her?
Does surviving suicide really make someone do a complete 360?
"Jia Lingyi, you really don't know how to be grateful! Do you know how many times Yin Roulan begged so you won't be kicked out of the group? She's saying you should take a break because it would affect your health."
"I understand why Lingyi is angry. It's what I should do as the leader.....Lingyi doesn't need to thank me....I'm fine...."
Yin Roulan sniffed as she said this, making everyone's heart ache for her.
Jia Lingyi rolled her eyes. Acting like a white lotus was the only thing this Roulan knew how to do!
"Chen Ai, when we debuted, I at least earned a place in the group. You on the other hand were added to make up the numbers. This isn't your place to speak!"
Jia Lingyi had no intention of letting herself be bullied. Since she had decided to do this, she would fight, and she would hold her head up high no matter what the other girls said.
Compared to these brats, the rest of the entertainment industry was more brutal.
