Chapter 62
"Lie-jie, you can't just let these people destroy you. You're not like that!"
"Linqin, let's just focus on the task at hand. Let them be."
"I can't just sit here while these people demeaned you, Li-jie." Shen Linqin put her hands on her face as she began to sob.
"Don't cry, Linqin. A person can learn a thing or two no matter how bad the situation is," She patted her head as she continued, "Great things come to those who wait."
Shen Linqin stared at her with a tear-stricken face before she nodded at her.
Xu Jia Li had her plan. It might have taken a long time but she was the type of person who loved to make sure that her moves were flawless, 'Qi Xenjin can do anything she wants. I will act when the time is right.' She whispered as she continued patting Shen Linqin's head.
Xu Jia Li spent the last two days in preparation for the upcoming shooting of Sweet Memories. She went to the recording studio and studied the theme song of the movie. It was so heartfelt that every time she sings, she was not Xu Jia Li anymore but Jianna, the main character.
The musical directors couldn't help but tear up when they heard her sing, "Wonderful, Ms. Xu."
"Thank you, Director Jiang." Xu Jia Li bowed her head and smiled her sweetest. She was always happy every time she sang. It gave her so much joy.
"You're really perfect to sing this, Ms. Xu."

Unbeknownst to Xu Jia Li, Shen Linqin was secretly taking video while she was singing. The video showed how wonderful her voice is. No music, no sounds, just purely her angelic voice.
"I will love you, my heart says, it will
I will stay true to you, my love
And even if the clouds turn gray,
Even
My love will stay the same.
I am here, I will never go
Hold on to me
'coz I will never say goodbye"
Shen Linqin posted a teaser so that fans could see that her voice was indeed beautiful. She was really angry when she read all the news about Xu Jia Li but she couldn't do anything because she told her not to get involved.
With a heavy heart, she obeyed her. However, she couldn't fight the urge to post the video that she took.
After just a second of posting the video, it immediately got thousands of views until it was millions. Many fans commented, saying how great Xu Jia Li is.
Some were even asking for the whole video to be posted. Somehow, it made her happy that she was able to help.
'You're great, Li-jie. You don't deserve this.'
Shen Linqin decided that she would post the whole video when the time comes. In the meantime, the teaser that she posted was enough to somehow clear that she's indeed a great singer.
She couldn't wait for the start of the shooting of Sweet Memories. She knew that Xu Jia Li would be able to show her talent in acting. By then, those people who said bad things about her would have their faces slapped.

Zhen Nian went to see Xu Jia Li early that night. She wanted to know what her plan would be. She was worried that she hadn't spoken even a bit when it's been two days since the news broke out.
Si Weimin even called her a few times to know how Xu Jia Li was.
Unsatisfied, he even went to her apartment to ask her personally. She was even shocked to see him when she opened the door.
"CEO Si!"
"How's Jia?"
"She didn't answer my call. I have no idea how she's been doing, CEO."
"Will you go and check her out?"
"I will, of course, CEO."
"That's good. Please, let me know once you talked to her."
She could still remember how worried he was. She knew that he could do anything he likes and he could directly go to her. But something about him made her think that something's wrong.
She pushed the doorbell. Xu Jia Li opened the door and smiled at her, "Nian-mei"
"Li-jie, how have you been? Why aren't you answering my call?"
"I'm sorry, Nian-mei. I was really busy with the recording of the theme song for Sweet Memories."
"I was worried sick about you."
"I'm sorry I made you worried, Nian-mei." Xu Jia Li hugged her as they went together inside.

"Lie-jie, why weren't you answering the rumors? It will affect your movie and your career."
"I really don't have time for that, Nian-mei," Xu Jia Li sighed. She looked sincerely at Zhen Nian, "Let them say what they want to say. I'll have my time."
"Just let me know. The pictures you've given me before, what should I do with them?"
"I'll let you know when the right time comes."
"I don't know what you're plan is, but Li-jie, I'm afraid that all your projects will be boycotted but the people. You know how the fans abhorred immorality among artists. We can't be slacking behind." Zhen Nian exclaimed.
"Wait a little more. I know that this person behind all these bad news about me has more things coming. I fight when my enemy is done firing all the shots."
Zhen Nian only stared at Xu Jia Li. She understood what she said. She was waiting for the right time when her enemy had nothing more to say, when the enemy had already dug its grave, "Like void of no return?"
Xu Jia Li just smiled meaningfully. Zhen Nian could only showed her concern as she tapped her hand, "Just let me know how I may be of help."
"That's all I need right now. Thank you, Nian-mei."
