Bai Shanshan looked at the situation on the stage and heaved a sigh of relief. The trouble she had caused was finally settled, so she finally relaxed.

After that, she lowered her head and headed backstage, passing by the staff members in a hurry. But suddenly, someone grabbed her arm. Despite her 100 kilograms weight, she was easily pulled to the dressing room next door.

When she looked up again, she saw a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Shen Ruojing stared at her. “You’re the one who is singing for Yan Zijing, right?”

A hint of anxiety flashed in Bai Shanshan’s eyes. “No… cough cough cough… I… cough cough cough…”

Shen Ruojing sighed when seeing her like this.

She patted Bai Shanshan’s shoulder and handed her a bottle of water.

Bai Shanshan took a few sips of water before looking at her anxiously. “Miss, Miss Shen, I, I…”

“I only have one thing to ask.” Shen Ruojing said calmly, “Are you doing this willingly?”

She wasn’t a saint who would get herself involved in everything unfair.

When Bai Shanshan saw her say this, she nodded. “Yes…”

“Why don’t you sing yourself?”

Bai Shanshan’s gaze cowered a little and she lowered her head. “With how I look… How can I do that?”

Shen Ruojing was slightly stunned.

She… felt inferior because she was fat?

Shen Ruojing fell silent.

She had no idea how much harm being fat could bring to someone. It was because she had seen some fat people who were very confident and very beautiful too.

Moreover, Bai Shanshan’s fat was just because she was sick.

Even so, Shen Ruojing didn’t persuade or console her further. She only said, “Taking that weight-loss medicine will cause some coughing. It’ll be fine in two days. If you persist and take it for a month, there’ll be obvious effects.”

“…Alright.”

After Bai Shanshan replied to this, she hesitated for very long before she couldn’t hold it in and asked, “Miss Shen, I, I’ll get Yan Zijing to manage her fans well and won’t try to direct the flow of the public opinion. Can you not expose this matter?”

Shen Ruojing nodded. She wasn’t afraid of those rumors.

After she did a face reveal and exposed her identity as Anonymous later, the singers who had been critiqued by her before would thank her. The fans that Yan Zijing was misleading didn’t have any negative effect on her at all.

It was just that——

Shen Ruojing looked at Bai Shanshan. “Those two siblings might not appreciate what you’ve done for them.”

“I know.” Bai Shanshan lowered her head. “But my husband has been the one providing for me all these years. As for my sister-in-law, although she’s very fierce, she treats me well occasionally too.”

Bai Shanshan bit her lips, her gaze in a daze. “With how I look, I have nothing except my voice. How am I supposed to live after leaving them?”

She was really an innocent and pure-hearted girl… Now, Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze and thought back on the scene she had seen at the underground car park the other day. She couldn’t help but say, “Miss Bai, there’s something that you might feel angry about after hearing me say it.”

“I won’t!” Bai Shanshan waved her hand. Although she was fat, she was very fair and when she smiled, causing all the flesh on her face to pile up together, she looked quite adorable. “Miss Shen has helped me so much. No matter what you say, I won’t get angry.”

Shen Ruojing fell silent for a moment before saying, “Your husband and Yan Zijing might be having an affair.”

“…”

Bai Shanshan blinked, thinking that she might have heard wrongly. She explained, “Did Miss Shen misunderstand something? They are siblings… Sometimes when they act a little intimate, it might lead to misunderstandings.”

Shen Ruojing let out another sigh.

She could face the evils in the world, but she couldn’t face people like Bai Shanshan.

Bai Shanshan was too clean.

So clean that Shen Ruojing felt that it was brutal if she were to tell her the truth.

It might also be because she was so clean that someone like Shen Ruojing, who wanted to live a slacking retired life, couldn’t help but be meddlesome.

Shen Ruojing calmed herself down and then said, “I saw them kissing in the car the other day.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Shanshan’s eyes, but she still chose to believe in her husband. No matter how good a temperament she had, now there was a hint of harshness in her tone. “You must have seen wrongly. Was it just the angle of your view? In the movies, as well as photos taken by the paparazzi, there are many cases where the angle of the people involved might lead to some misunderstandings.”

“…” Shen Ruojing found this hard to deal with.

It was true that trust was the most important thing between a married couple.

But didn’t Bai Shanshan have too much trust in her husband?

Shen Ruojing rubbed her forehead. “If you don’t believe me, you can observe it yourself. I’ll be heading back first.”

There were still other people performing, and she had to wait for the final face reveal at the end.

Hence, she walked out and wanted to head to the front. But suddenly, she turned back and looked at the corner of a dressing room. Her gaze then flickered and she returned to the front.

–

Shen Ruojing returned to sit next to Yang Zhiqin. She had thought that she’d be eliminated in this round of the competition, but she ended up advancing again!

The two lines of hers sounded too good. Although it wasn’t a proper song, the live audience still voted for her. This time around, the person who was eliminated was an actor.

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Why was it so difficult for her to leave?!

Then the second round of the competition ended.

The show inevitably received a lot of views and became a great topic of conversation. [Masked Singers] shot to fame! Hence, Shen Qianhui was overjoyed. “All the guests who took part in this show gained popularity. When your father reveals his face, his popularity will definitely soar as well.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. “That’s right, that’s right. Can I be eliminated in the next round?”

“…” Shen Qianhui coughed and said, “We’ll see.”

She realized that with her daughter around, there would always be trending topics about the show!

–

At the Yan family’s residence.

After the show ended, Bai Shanshan, Yan Zihao, and Yan Zijing returned home together.

Yan Xiaoqi was already sleeping.

Meanwhile, Bai Shanshan lay down in the bedroom, staring at the ceiling and unable to fall asleep.

Miss Shen didn’t look like the kind of person who’d talk bad about others. Then the thing that she reminded her to watch out for…

Bai Shanshan then turned her body, feeling that she had thought too much about things.

After that, she took out her phone and contacted the president of Yan Zijing’s fan club, sending her a private message. [Zijing and Teacher White Feather’s relationship is quite good. Try to lead the fans to not target Teacher White Feather anymore.]

The fan club’s president immediately replied to her.

[Are you kidding? Sister mentioned in the group earlier that she hates people like White Feather who act so arrogantly. Who is White Feather to be giving pointers to the participants? What right does she have to do that?]

When Bai Shanshan saw this, she was stunned.

She sat up and planned on going to look for Yan Zijing to have a good talk with her…

She then left the room only to realize that her husband’s room, which was next to hers, was empty.

She lived in the bedroom on the second floor and hadn’t shared the same bed with Yan Zihao all these years. In the beginning, Yan Zihao had said that she was pregnant, and he was scared that he might squash her stomach. After their child was born, he then said that the child should sleep with her. Later on, she got fat, and Yan Zihao said that it was too noisy because she snored at night.

However, where had he gone in the middle of the night?

Bai Shanshan went to the third floor and suddenly discovered that there was a small opening to the door of Yan Zijing’s room. She then walked over slowly only to hear a strange sound coming from inside…
