Chapter 203: Original Storyline Was Changed

After Su Yayan heard what Xia Junsheng had to say, her eyes darkened slightly and she asked with a low voice, “What’s the name of the female artist that stood up for Wen Jingping?”

“I think she’s called Si Mengyu.”

“Si Mengyu?” Su Yayan’s eyes gleamed slightly. “Is she in the top 20 too?”

“Yes.” Xia Junsheng was no fool, so after he heard what Su Yayan had asked, he came to a realization. “Are you suspecting that…”

Su Yayan chuckled, she did not answer him directly.

She had already felt like something struck a chord when she heard You Yushi’s name, now that she had heard Si Mengyu’s name and knew that she was also in the top 20, Su Yayan was more sure than ever.

This was something that she had not met in her previous life, but it was coincidentally stated in the original storyline provided by the system.

Si Mengyu was Wen Jingping’s first friend after she took part in the reality talent show. She was straightforward and loyal. Phrased in a good way? She was naive. Phrased in a not-so-good way? She was frank and a little daft.

It did not take long for Wen Jingping to get a clear picture of her personality, and so when Si Mengyu approached her, she portrayed a docile and friendly outlook. Quickly, these two became close friends.

In the original storyline, You Yushi did come and look for trouble with Wen Jingping, but at that time, there were no deliberate touch porcelain incidents from Wen Jingping. Nor were there new livestream hosts that backfired, and the incident where she was asked to leave the talent show did not happen.

Without a doubt, the entire sixty to top 20 with Wen Jingping pulling strings to kick out the original top 20 qualifiers did not happen as well, so the way You Yushi acted with Wen Jingping in the original storyline was a lot less aggressive.

You Yushi had a similar personality as Si Mengyu, but she had a hotter temper, and she disregarded with disdain those who were less talented than they portrayed to be, who were also not very capable yet forcibly pulled strings just to remain in the competition.

She asked Wen Jingping out in their off time and told a few things to her, the gist of it being that she hoped Wen Jingping would know where she stood and back out voluntarily from the show, so her slot could be given to those that deserved it more.

The female main character of the original storyline was Wen Jingping, so everything was written from her point of view. Naturally, it highlighted how hardworking and how ambitious she was.

The storyline would also emphasize how despicable the people who picked on her could be, so readers would feel compassionate towards Wen Jingping and at the same time loathe characters like You Yushi.

Su Yayan may have an ‘enemy’s enemy is my friend’ lens on since she felt that whatever You Yushi had said was right, just that she executed it incorrectly, putting herself in a position of disadvantage.

Wen Jingping felt wronged after she was reprimanded by You Yushi, so she ran with red-rimmed eyes to Si Mengyu.

Naturally, Si Mengyu would ask about her after seeing her in a state like that. Initially, Wen Jingping refused to say anything, then she would tell bits and pieces of the story of how You Yushi picked on her and repeat the harsher words that You Yushi said to her while slyly omitting a number of important points.

A sentence would mean something else when said with a different tone, so when Wen Jingping cherry-picked what to tell what she had been told, it was worse than the aforementioned scenario.

Si Mengyu was enraged after she heard what Wen Jingping said, and she would definitely want to stand up on behalf of her bestie, so she ran hastily before You Yushi and argued with her.

Things escalated quickly and they broke out in a fight. You Yushi was injured and was forced to back out of the show, and Si Mengyu was forcibly removed by the crew for injuring others intently.

Su Yayan had briefly watched this clip in her previous life and felt something was off. Now that she got to know that both of them were seeded contestants in the top 20, she could not help but think a little differently.

Wen Jingping would have had two less strong opponents almost immediately from this incident. Was it really just a coincidence?
