Actually, finding the culprit wasn’t difficult. Although her damaged image was beneficial to all contestants, carefully considering the people who had been at odds with her recently and those capable of doing this, the scope narrowed significantly. The culprit was almost obvious – Zhang Jiajia.
Zhang Jiajia had been constantly boasting about having a friend who worked in post-production and could edit her to look good. Her close relationship with Lin Xiaoman’s cheap sister also explained why Ning Yumei could so subtly shift blame onto her after she was maliciously edited.
The truth was that after she left Ning Yumei’s dressing room that day, Zhang Jiajia was incited by Ning Yumei and used as a scapegoat.
Ning Yumei knew she couldn’t act directly, so she used others. Now, Lin Xiaoman would make sure Ning Yumei had no one to use!
Conveniently, there was a live broadcast tomorrow. She would use her old skills and perform a show with them.
★ Chapter Nine: Plan
Lin Xiaoman was preparing to return to her dormitory after receiving a call in the hallway when she heard several girls’ voices.
“Did you see yesterday’s trending topics?”
“You mean the thing about Lin Xiaoman being scolded?”
“Serves her right. Who told her to always look down on everyone.”
“But isn’t the editing too much? She seemed to be teaching dance yesterday.”
“She’s definitely showing off. She’s so fake. She used to pretend she couldn’t dance, but now she dances better than anyone.”
“Such calculation.”
“Exactly. She deliberately dances with those who can’t dance to make herself look kind and talented.”
“But the production team didn’t let her succeed. I bet her face looked terrible when she saw the trending topics.”
…
The girls chattered away, but Lin Xiaoman didn’t feel much. She had heard similar comments too many times before. Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice rang out.
“I think you all look worse right now!” Wei Qinghuan’s voice was crisp and loud, audible throughout the entire corridor. “A group of people gathered to vilify someone who was maliciously edited by the program team.”
The girls glanced at her but said nothing.
