Chapter 95: The Elimination Namelist Is Out~

Translator: Lordbluefire

[Masked Singers] was a program that allowed the judges and audience to vote and decide who would be eliminated. A single vote from the judges was equal to ten, and there were also 1,000 people in the audience.

So after all the performance ended, they still had to tabulate the data.

Hence, the participants all went backstage to rest.

Shen Ruojing and Jing Zhen walked together backstage. On their way, the two of them chatted in a low voice.

“Jingjing, how was my performance earlier? Do you feel that your father was exceptionally charming?”

“…Hmm.”

“Your performance is also very special, but when did you learn the piano? Why didn’t I know about it?”

“…There are many things that you don’t know.”

“That’s true…Oh right, Jingjing, do you know why these people are so respectful toward me?”

“…Why?”

“Naturally, it’s because my position in the entertainment industry is very high. I’ve climbed the ranks for over twenty years in this industry, so I can be considered their senior!”

Jing Zhen stood tall and puffed his chest out. Just after saying this, some of the performers earlier walked past him and bowed respectfully to him. “Teacher Jing, please help me to send a greeting to Teacher Anonymous.”

“…”

Shen Ruojing showed Jing Zhen an expression that was filled with indescribable meaning.

Jing Zhen said, “Let me tell you this. Actually, everyone is only being so respectful to Anonymous because she is my daughter. Do you understand?”

“…okayokayokay.”

“Oi, what do you mean by that look? Are you despising me?”

“Nope, you’ve seen it wrongly.”

“Although you are wearing a mask, it is impossible for me to see it wrongly!”

Shen Ruojing quickly turned and ducked toward a resting room at the side.

In order to avoid scandals happening between male and female celebrities, the temporarily resting rooms were separated into male and female ones. So, Jing Zhen could only head into the male one.

There was finally blissful silence.

Shen Ruojing stretched lazily, but just when her arms were halfway lifted, the attire restricted her movements…

How troublesome.

Shen Ruojing shot a look of contempt at the white frock and entered the female resting room.

Just when she entered, she saw Yan Zijing removing her gold phoenix mask and was currently glaring at her coldly. “What did the words you spoke on the stage earlier mean?”

Shen Ruojing frowned. “Nothing.”

“If that was the case, why did you insinuate that I was lip-syncing?” Yan Zijing stared at her. “Let me tell you this right now. Some words can’t be casually spoken. In addition, you are just a newbie. Who the hell do you think you are? You actually dare to point fingers at me?!”

Before Shen Ruojing could speak, Bai Shanshan already rushed over. She hurriedly said, “Zijing, there are so many people watching. Don’t act recklessly. If someone recorded this, your reputation would be ruined…”

Yan Zijing cast a ruthless glare at Shen Ruojing. After that, she turned to Bai Shanshan. “Come with me!”

The two of them then went into Yan Zijing’s makeup room.

Bai Shanshan lowered her head and followed behind her. The moment they entered, Yan Zijing closed the door immediately.

The loud bang gave Bai Shanshan a scare. Just when she was about to say something, a slap harshly landed on her face!

Bai Shanshan was stunned.

Yan Zijing stared at her in rage. “Why are you speaking up for that newbie? Is it because she said what you are secretly thinking?”

Yan Zijing caught hold of Bai Shanshan’s wrist. “Why? Do you feel very unsatisfied singing in my place? Do you want to appear on stage to sing for yourself? Why don’t you check your own appearance? You have a pig face and elephant thighs. No one would bother casting a single glance at you. If it wasn’t for me, do you think your voice could be popular?”

Bai Shanshan lowered her head. “I don’t mean it like that…”

“It’s good that you don’t mean it like that!” Yan Zijing looked at her. After that, she glanced at the food on the side and suddenly picked one packet with praised pork for Bai Shanshan. “Okay, I’m a little hungry. Let’s eat together. You should eat this braised pork.”

Bai Shanshan bit her lips. “Zijing, I’ve been on a diet recently…”

“Heh.” It was as though Yan Zijing had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “You are on a diet? How many times have you said this during these years? Your weight hasn’t changed at all! You are someone who can even grow fat from drinking water. What’s the point of you trying to lose weight? Eat this now!”

Bai Shanshan’s eyes turned red as she looked at the braised pork.

She then took it…

–

The tabulation of the results could take a while. After waiting for half an hour, Shen Ruojing decided to head to the washroom.

At the entrance, she immediately heard the sounds of vomiting from within.

After entering, she saw Bai Shanshan having a pale expression and sweat on her forehead as she walked out. Her steps were weak and when she saw Shen Ruojing, she quickly apologized. “Sorry, I didn’t manage to hold it in…”

After speaking, she quickly flushed the toilet and sprayed her perfume in the air. “Sorry…”

Shen Ruojing looked at her and suddenly asked, “You are forcing yourself to vomit?”

Bai Shanshan’s expression froze.

Shen Ruojing understood. “Are you trying to lose weight?”

Bai Shanshan nodded and her eyes were red. “I wasn’t like this before. I was very skinny previously, but after I gave birth, I have no idea why I became fatter and fatter…”

Her voice was airy and had a holy quality, causing people to involuntarily feel pity for her when they heard it.

Shen Ruojing suddenly held her wrist.

Bai Shanshan subconsciously trembled and that intense motion caused Shen Ruojing to frown.

A minute later, Shen Ruojing spoke, “You are not fat. You have an illness.”

Bai Shanshan started. “Why?”

Yet, Shen Ruojing looked at the time and asked, “Will you be sending your child to school tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, let’s meet at the school’s entrance tomorrow.”

“…Ah, okay.”

After that, Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan entered the resting room one after another. Just as they entered, Yan Zijing glanced over with hostility in her gaze. When she glared at Bai Shanshan, the latter immediately lengthened the distance between her and Shen Ruojing.

“Teachers, it has been a long time. The tabulated results are finally out. Right now, can everyone please move to the stage and wait for the news?!”

After hearing the staff’s words, everyone stood up. Because Shen Ruojing was waiting for Jing Zhen, she stood next to the door.

As a result, Yan Zijing walked over and sneered. “Waiting for Teacher Jing again? Are you not afraid that your Director Shen might learn of your shameless behavior?”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

“But then again, opportunities must be rare for people like you who would only come here for a single day. You should really grab them. No wonder you said those words on the stage. You wanted to depend on my popularity to become famous. Sadly, my fans have boycotted you. Later after you remove your mask, I want to see how your career can advance any further in the entertainment industry!”

After Yan Zijing finished mocking, she lifted her head and walked ahead.

On the other hand, Shen Ruojing simply waited until she saw Jing Zhen lazily walking out. The father and daughter duo then languidly went backstage, and they saw that all the performers were already waiting there. In addition, the host who was in front was already speaking halfway.

“..After our tabulations, the name list is finally out. For this episode, we will eliminate a participant. Can everyone guess who it will be? Is it tough to guess?”

“Right now, let us invite Teacher White Feather up the stage!”

As the sound of the host’s voice faded, the other participants backstage heaved a sigh of relief. After that, they shot looks of pity at Shen Ruojing.

Yan Zijing coldly snorted and revealed an expression of hilarity as though she was waiting to watch a good show.
