“Thanks, girls.” Su Ruowan looked at them gratefully.

Su Muyan, this useless piece of trash, could not even beat a mere newcomer. He was still making excuses for himself, saying that Qi Xiu was no big deal but rather it was Qi Xiu’s music producer that was talented.

The composer named Xixi had gone to their office to look for Su Muyan, wanting to work with him, but was rejected by his music director and agent. That was why he missed out on this great opportunity to be at the top of the music industry.

Su Muyan had gone crazy these days, using all means to search for Xixi but this Xixi was very mysterious. Not one bit of information could be found as if he appeared out of nowhere.

“Cheer up! Tell Brother Yan that I’ll always be his loyal fan. Qi Xiu should just go back to where he came from. No one even knows who he is..” Chen Bingbing was two-faced about this as her words did not match her actions.

Chen Bingbing was destined to only secretly like and support her husband Qi Xiu. It was miserable.

Her husband was Brother Yan’s rival, so Chen Bingbing did not want to let Wanwan and the Class President find out that she had defected. Otherwise, she would lose her friends and would not be able to stay in the Top Class.

Chen Bingbing was laying low, but Song Wenye wanted to provoke her. When she heard Chen Bingbing, she was amused and stood up to look at her. “Chen Bingbing, your Brother Yan has lost so badly, so you should admit defeat! When are you guys gonna buy 10,000 albums each?”

‘Haha! Why didn’t Chen Bingbing tell Su Ruowan that she bought Qi Xiu’s album behind her back and even collected Qi Xiu’s pictures?’

“Song Wenye, this album has only been released for ten days, and you’re too anxious. Our Brother Yan is a late bloomer, but he’ll certainly surpass Qi Xiu! Don’t be so smug!” Chen Bingbing was being stubborn.

Chen Bingbing had realized since day one after listening to Qi Xiu’s songs that Su Muyan did not stand a chance. She had already admitted defeat when she bought a thousand digital albums and called Qi Xiu her husband while staring at his posters.

It had been ten days since the release. Su Muyan’s album sales peaked on the first day and had been declining ever since, whereas Qi Xiu’s album sales had been increasing since and going strong still. None could tell when the sales were going to peak.

Solely on their physical albums, Qi Xiu had achieved more than double that of Su Muyan. Plus, Qi Xiu sold 80 million digital albums.

Qi Xiu was so popular that his fans started to collect and exchange his picture cards. His fans were everywhere on all major sites and online platforms. His songs were played on the streets and were liked by too many people.

“You’re just stubborn, right? You won’t know my power if I don’t show you what I’m capable of!” Song Wenye walked aggressively toward Chen Bingbing.

Chen Bingbing did not know what Song Wenye was doing. Song Wenye pushed her away and yanked her school bag out of her drawer. She then panicked and yelled, “Song Wenye! Are you a thug? I don’t have any money in my school bag!”

Song Wenye was much faster than Chen Bingbing. She teased Chen Bingbing by grabbing her school bag and ran to the podium. She then threw a sidelong glance at Chen Bingbing and stretched her sentence, “Who said I wanted money…?”

Chen Bingbing had a bad premonition and could not react before Song Wenye unzipped her school bag.

A few books, a makeup bag, and a few little trinkets fell on the desk. Besides these, plenty of little collector’s cards fell like snowflakes.

Song Wenye moved around violently, so those cards were scattered all around the room. The handsome young man’s face on the cards was none other than Qi Xiu.

The Top Class were dumbfounded. They looked at Chen Bingbing baffled, especially the few girls that made the bet with her. Their faces were extremely glum.

Chen Bingbing said she would stick to Su Muyan forever with her girls. She even promised that whoever defected to the other side should go to hell. The other girls had been persistent, but Chen Bingbing had surrendered and fell in love with the enemy!

Chen Bingbing’s face was ashen. She screamed in anger and felt hatred surging in her heart as she rushed to fight Song Wenye.

Song Wenye dodged her and shoved her school bag in Chen Bingbing’s face. She arrogantly looked towards Su Ruowan and said, “Are you surprised? This is your best friend!”

What bullshit friend?

It was a fake sisterhood.

Darkness flashed across Su Ruowan’s eyes. She did not expect Chen Bingbing to be so two-faced. However, Su Ruowan still smiled gently and said with much understanding, “Song Wenye, don’t try to turn us against each other. I believe Bingbing must have her reasons for doing so.”

Song Wenye was amused and laughed. “What reason would that be? She just likes Qi Xiu and has changed allegiance!”

“I… This isn’t my stuff.” Chen Bingbing had a contemptuous and disgusted gaze aimed at her like she was a traitor. She panicked and detested Song Wenye’s guts, but still defended herself stubbornly. “My cousin is Qi Xiu’s fan. She has been asking me to chase after Qi Xiu with her. Do I look like someone who will change allegiance so easily? I’ll only like Brother Yan in this life!”

After she said that, the looks she got became more complicated. She gulped and looked at Su Ruowan before explaining anxiously, “Wanwan, you have to believe me. I will always like Brother Yan.”

Su Ruowan paused for a moment, nodded, and looked at Chen Bingbing seriously. “I believe you.”

‘Why should I believe her? Her love and admiration are worthless to me,’ Su Ruowan thought.

No wonder Chen Bingbing had been acting strange recently. In the past, Chen Bingbing would be the most gung-ho in boosting Su Muyan’s sales and rankings.

Recently, Chen Bingbing had been extremely stingy that she did not even buy a single copy of Su Muyan’s album. Su Ruowan thought Chen Bingbing did not have enough money for the bet, but it turned out that all her love, passion, and money were transferred to Qi Xiu instead.

Chen Bingbing did not want to expose herself. Although she temporarily found an excuse to brush it off, no one would actually believe her. She righteously pointed to the others and said, “You girls should also empty your bags! I’m sure someone has stuffed Qi Xiu’s card with you all.”

The other girls took out their school bags and dumped the contents of their bags on the table. They only had their things and some of Su Muyan’s merchandise, nothing else.

Chen Bingbing looked bashful and cursed in frustration. “My cousin is too much. I’ll teach her a lesson when I get home!”

She found it unbelievable that her friends did not waver because Qi Xiu was good-looking and talented. Most people would love Qi Xiu after getting to know him.

Although her friends accepted Chen Bingbing’s sophistry, they had their thoughts.

Chen Bingbing chased after Qi Xiu secretly, but every day, she would praise Su Muyan and scold Qi Xiu in front of them. This kind of two-face was appalling.
