Chapter 14.9
Xue Jing Yi was deliberately not taking her medicine so her physical condition could rapidly deteriorate, but this was only for appearance’s sake, once she reached her goal, she would nurse herself back to the best condition, then she could withstand the risk of heart transplant surgery. Before that, she would have Huang Yi return all her losses.
She proposed that Huang Yi participate in the competition in her stead to Xue Li Dani. Xue Li Dani was undoubtedly the one in Xue family who loved her the most, she unexpectedly immediately agreed, then told the matter to Xue Rui. Xue Rui decided to send a few bodyguards to always follow Huang Yi, lest he expose his identity during the course of the game.
Xue Jing Yi put on a half-dead appearance and asked the steward to call Huang Yi over, she said that she wanted more people to remember her and wanted to personally stand on the stage but she was helpless. She wanted to leave traces of her stay in this world, this was her last wish, and she hoped her brother could help her complete it.
Zhou Yun Sheng sneered inwardly, but his eyes were flushed, he considered for a moment then promised.
Xue Jing Yi held his hand and weakly thanked him.
All the Xue family members coddled her, whenever she put forward a request, they tried their best to achieve it for her, but when she asked Xue Zi Xuan about this, she only received a cold rejection.
“No, that’s cheating, I can’t agree.” He stared blankly at his book, not even giving Xue Jing Yi a corner of his eye. These past few days, he never came over to visit her, he could no longer stand her presence.
“But I heard that Yan Ye will come back in two days, if Xiao Yi participates in the competition in my place, he can escape him for a few days.” Xue Jing Yi had already thought up a good excuse.
Xue Zi Xuan was visibly shaken, after a few minutes he nodded wordlessly.
In the past, her brother would’ve never consented to such a thing. He often said that music was the most real thing in the world, he couldn’t tolerate any deception in music, so plagiarism, cheating and other dishonest acts were absolutely despicable. But now, in order to keep Huang Yi by his side, he was willing to put aside all his principles.
If today really was her last day on earth, she didn’t know who he would pick between Huang Yi and herself.
Xue Jing Yi couldn’t stifle her feelings, she impulsively asked, “Brother, do you want me to live?” If I live, Huang Yi must die, how will you choose?
Xue Zi Xuan regarded her with exceptionally emotionless eyes, then he walked away without a word. Of course he wanted his sister to live, but only if she didn’t take the boy’s life. Death was a natural process, and no one in the world could avoid it, it just came earlier or later. On that day, calm acceptance was the best response.
He didn’t turn around, so he didn’t see the strong resentment filling his sister’s eyes.
——————-
Participating in the competition instead of Xue Jing Yi had always been Zhou Yun Sheng’s plan. Xue family wanted to conceal his identity, so he would become world famous. When the truth was revealed, Xue family would be unable to cover up the story.
In order to ensure that he didn’t have contact with outsiders, Xue family sent several bodyguards to monitor him. The preliminaries had already begun, and the lounge was full of young people aged 12 to 18. Among them, most were from prominent families, but very few were as extravagant as him, always surrounded by a group of sunglasses and suits.
