Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 146 The Valentine's Day Arc (2) : Resentments Against MissImperfectlyFine



Everybody immediately broke into applause and appreciation for Guiying. After her book signing event, her popularity had soared even higher.

There was CherryBlossom on one side who was the star of Dream High and MissImperfectlyFine on the other side, who was facing resentment from the writing community.

Both lied at polar opposite spectrums of admiration and popularity.

"It's CherryBlossom!"

"Shit, now I am getting even more nervous!"

"She is definitely gonna win the Summit."

"She is so beautiful and talented at the same time."

Some of the writers were also her fans so the squeals in the air were louder.

Xing Bi snorted. "Hmph. Praise all you want. But in the end, it's my Ai who is going to win!"

Ai smiled.

From a distance, Guiying saw Ai standing with Xing Bi. She beamed and wanted to rush to her side, but she remembered that nobody knew she was MissImperfectlyFine, neither did Ai wanted anybody to know.

Zhan Yahui narrowed her eyes. "Focus on yourself, Guiying. Forget about Zhou Ai. She will lose miserably."

Guiying shot her a squinted stare. "Enough Zhan Yahui. Don't make me angry."

"Then what do you expect? You know Ai's reputation is taking a hit day by day. Do you think her story will even pass her batch? Everybody knows the plagiarism charge against her, which even if she is denying or Sky gave a statement, would be hard to overlook. Didn't she also say that she lied about her identity? You think she got a chance despite everything against her?"

"I have faith in her! Ai is already facing more than enough troubles. So stop it already."

Zhan Yahui glared at her. "Stop being so childish, Guiying. Don't forget that I am still mad at you for making that statement on Weibo in her favor. You didn't even discuss it with me."

"Because I knew you wouldn't allow it. There was no point in talking to you."

She clenched her jaw. "Forget it. You will realize it tonight itself. Zhou Ai has no chance of winning this Summit."

Ai watched Guiying smiling and waving at everybody. Realizing the distance between them, she couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.

Xing Bi held her hands and let out an assuring smile. "Ai, don't be afraid. Have faith in your abilities."

Ai nodded with resolve. She didn't have time to feel intimidated by anybody because her career was at stake. 

I will win today. No matter what, I will definitely win this Summit tonight.

A while later, the Summit's venue was once again filled with cheers when first Yating and then Yunru made their presence known to everyone.

The prominent members of two most influential publishing companies, Sky and Dream High were finally here. But not only that, Sky and Dream High were in war ever since Sky exposed MissImperfectlyFine, and Dream High accused it of only trying to damage their reputation through Ai.

The moment they arrived, they were jumped on by a few reporters, asking about the statements that the companies made about MissImperfectlyFine.

The same question was asked to Guiying who showed her full support with her own statement.

p、and a-n、o、vel Guiying had narrowed her eyes. "I think it was clear that MissImperfectlyFine and I are best friends. I know her better than all of you. If I won't stand up for her, then who will?"

She refused to answer any further questions or hear anything against Ai.

Yating and Yunru were in a similar position as her, but they had made their stand clear.

"Mr. Gu. What do you have to say to Sky? It all started when they filed the plagiarism charge against MissImperfectlyFine." ​

"And why is Dream High supporting her after her confession?"

"She lied to get into Sky. Shouldn't that be-"

One cold and alarming glare from Yating instantly made not only the reporters but everybody else too step back in fear. He looked just like Guiying - protective about Ai who would not tolerate any nonsense from anybody against her.

"When she will prove you wrong is when your mouths will be shut."

Everybody was sharply taken aback by Yating's words. They never thought that the Chief Editor could defend MissImperfectlyFine to this extent. He was practically threatening them.

"Does that mean he is openly supporting MissImperfectlyFine instead of CherryBlossom?"

"But this is so unfair…"

"Yeah, CherryBlossom should deserve such treatment."

"Why is a liar being protected?"

The crowd whispered amongst themselves in dissatisfaction.

Not only Yating but when Yunru was shot with the same questions, he only smiled and said, "If there are any answers to be given, the Sky CEO will do so."

The look on their faces was indescribable.

CEO? Sky also has a CEO?

Naturally, every company had a CEO, but Jun was hidden from the limelight so adeptly that everybody felt that the Sky CEO was just a myth. It was always Yunru's face in the media as the President. People even thought that he was the CEO himself.

The reporters and the people from other publishing companies eagerly glanced at the entrance to see if the Sky CEO was making his way in. But to their disappointment, nobody did.

Yating narrowed his eyes.

Liu Jun…

He had accused him of having feelings for Butterfly but when he realized that Ai was Butterfly herself, his own accusation stabbed his heart just like it did to Jun.

No way…There is no way that Ai and Liu Jun possibly know each other.

His heart shook with fear and uncertainty.

Is that why Ai wants to go to Sky?

His eyes scanned the crowd and found Guiying standing with Zhan Yahui, meeting with other writers and reporters. The air around him turned frigid, accusing her to be the reason behind his and Ai's difficult relationship.

He shut his eyes and took a deep breath.

Tonight, he only wanted Ai to win this Summit, and he would make sure that nothing would come in her way.

The Summit was going to begin, and Ai threw frequent glances at the entrance. Yunru was already here. She thought that Jun would accompany him too.

But she was yet to see him.

Her face was marred with a tinge of confusion, nervousness and disappointment. She clutched the hem of her dress.

Is Jun not coming?

But unknown to her from three floors above, a pair of dark brown irises shrouded in darkness was already watching her intently.
