The system hid in the corner, "I'm also doing this for your own good, otherwise in a month you will..."
Su Yuqing choked.
Just then, Gu Zhan called her. Su Yuqing looked over, "I have no objections, I'm good with anything."
Gu Zhan was somewhat surprised that she had actually heard him, "Then how about your dancing and vocals?"
Rumors said that Su Yuqing was a true vase, with loads of negative news and no special talents.
But from today, he unconsciously thought the rumors weren't reliable.
"First, tell me your choreography ideas." Su Yuqing jumped down from the windowsill.
Dashing and neat.
"I just discussed with God He, here's the thought, since the song is quite light-hearted..."
As Su Yuqing listened, she nodded. Gu Zhan mused internally that she seemed very knowledgeable.
The original Su Yuqing naturally wouldn't, but she would.
She had struggled in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and she had studied dancing and singing with dedication.
After all, an actor has a stage too.
"Knock, knock, knock…"
While the three were discussing, a sudden knock on the door was heard.
"Come in," Gu Zhan said.
"Miss Su, your family has an urgent matter and needs you to return immediately." It was Su Yuqing's follow-cam PD.
Due to the live broadcast, Su Yuqing's mobile phone was in the hotel room, long since turned off.
The Su Family had called the program group.
The following time slot wouldn't be live-streamed. The live broadcast performance would start tomorrow night at seven o'clock.
In other words, this time slot was free for the performers.
Su Yuqing lazily lifted her eyelid, "I still need to rehearse."
With that single sentence, the follow-cam PD understood, nodded, and walked out. Director Lin was right; Su Yuqing seemed to have become a bit smarter.
Director Lin's exact words: If Su Yuqing had brains, she wouldn't leave at this crucial juncture.
"Su Yuqing, aren't you afraid of the Su Family..." Gu Zhan cut himself off as soon as he began.
If Su Yuqing were afraid of the Su Family, she wouldn't have spoken like that yesterday on the deck. Quite courageous.
A sudden admiration caused Su Yuqing to twitch her lips.
She knew the Su Family wouldn't give up troubling her, but she hadn't expected them to be so persistent.
That afternoon, Su Chengxi had entered the program group, claiming to continue recording the first issue.
Marketing accounts bought and captured her entering the group, also brushing a wave of professional public persona.
Online, her fans led the charge, top comments were all "Admire sister" and "Sister is so professional."
Meanwhile, the Jiang Family and Su Family jointly held a press conference, with Ou Yulan representing the Su Family.
At the press conference, she painedly stated, "Su Yuqing has been untruthful from a young age, possibly due to the step-daughter dynamic, she has always sought others' attention from childhood."
Ou Yulan sighed deeply, her face full of self-blame and shame, "It's my failure as a mother that let Yuqing since childhood... It's my fault, I haven't fulfilled a mother's responsibility."
"This time, it's also because Chengxi got a villa as a birthday gift. Her birthday is coming up, and she was arguing with me, accidentally involving Chengxi and Chenan."
"She is my daughter, how could I not love her, but she, sigh..."
A mother's helplessness and difficulty, self-blame and disappointment, were vividly displayed.
Under the influence of paid trolls on the internet, the public opinion suddenly shifted.
They were all cursing Su Yuqing,
saying she would do anything for attention, had malicious intentions, and was framing her own sister!
They slandered Jiang Chenan as ruthless!
Some said that, having been pampered by the Su Family for so many years, she was far from satisfied and even dared to compete with the Little Princess of the Su Family; she was nothing but a burden with no self-awareness.
She had been lying since she was young; even her own mother couldn't handle her. She really was a complete Lying Spirit.
The internet was abuzz with criticism, and Su Yuqing's Weibo was overwhelmed once again.
However, she knew nothing about all this since she was practicing her dancing.
Gu Zhan was surprised, "After your adjustment, it seems a lot better, feels smoother."
"I didn't see that coming from you."
Su Yuqing chuckled lightly, "It's nothing, just basic skills."
Gu Zhan: "..."
He Suyan slightly raised her eyebrows, "Practice another hour and then take a break."
Neither person objected.
Their progress was quick, with the song structure nearly figured out in just about an hour, they spent the rest of the time going over the dance steps.
There was still a full day tomorrow, which should be enough.
However, due to the slippery floor, all three of them tried as best as they could to stay in place which didn't prevent them from constantly falling.
The movement part would be dealt with tomorrow.
After finishing their practice, the three of them came out of the studio and ran into Su Chengxi and Jiang Chenan in the hallway.
Since Su Chengxi was there, Jiang Chenan naturally had to accompany her.
The moment they saw each other, the tension was palpable.
Jiang Chenan's gaze on Su Yuqing was incredibly dark, "Su Yuqing, you really have some nerve!"
"Sister, you really went too far this time." Su Chengxi sighed, her look at Su Yuqing mixed with reluctance and reproach, "It's also my fault. What am I even competing with you for? If you want the villa, just take it."
While they were talking, other people hearing the noise came out of the studio, just in time to catch Su Chengxi's words.
"Ha, a mere stepdaughter, and she dares to want a villa?" Xi Yanhong displayed his sharp tongue, sizing up Su Yuqing with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Su Yuqing, if you want a villa, you could ask me for it," he said, his eyes conveying a profound meaning.
People in the entertainment industry understood his implication immediately, and they all looked at Su Yuqing with a sense of schadenfreude.
"Teacher Xi, Yuqing is my sister, and I hope you'll respect the Su Family and not make things difficult for her," Su Chengxi spoke up to defend her before Su Yuqing could say a word.
Her face wore the expression of a protective older sister, "Although she, well, tends to lie sometimes, she is still a member of the Su Family, my little sister."
She was determined to solidify the persona of Su Yuqing as a habitual liar.
Su Yuqing also used to lie frequently, even forging her academic achievements which got exposed by others.
With a little manipulation, she could turn around yesterday's events.
"People may see her as a sister, but she sure doesn't consider you one," suddenly a disdainful voice rang out.
Xia Chuwie.
She looked at Su Yuqing with disgust; she was annoyed because today Su Yuqing had claimed during a live stream that she was of the Imperial Family's true lineage and insinuated that Xia bullied her teammates.
"Teacher Xia, don't speak like that about my sister, she's just young," Su Chengxi continued, her demeanor conveying her reluctance for her sister to be spoken ill of.
She bit her lip, "My sister is just immature, but I believe she will grow up."
After that, she turned towards Su Yuqing with a gentle and soft voice, "Yuqing, mom called you. Why didn't you answer? You have no idea how worried she is."
Everyone in turn focused on Su Yuqing, most of them with contempt in their eyes.
Su Yuqing lifted her eyelids, her gaze deep and penetrating as it landed on Su Chengxi, "Are you done performing?"
