contestant in the program.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hadn’t formally introduced themselves, so they weren’t even acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, Brina was almost like a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they met, a nod would be a greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Brina was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, Xia Weibao was someone she initially dismissed but who ultimately overshadowed her, causing her to lose face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the champion title being snatched away yesterday, with praise for Xia Weibao everywhere, while she was used for comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People said she’s nine years older than Xia Weibao, yet not as capable as a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ballet Princess lost to the goddess of classical dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those voices felt like humiliation in her ears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already dissatisfied with Xia Weibao, now upon meeting, Xia Weibao’s nod-and-turn-away attitude seemed like provocation to her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s contempt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just won a competition, what’s there to be arrogant about!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina watched Xia Weibao’s departing figure, with her gaze falling on the hand she held with Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first sight, she was captivated by this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought David was handsome enough, but this Eastern man was an extraordinary specimen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never seen a man so charismatic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at David now, Brina felt even more uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David frowned slightly, \"Looks familiar, seemed like Huaxia’s richest man, Lu Hualiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina gasped, \"Lu Corporation’s Lu Hualiang?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao actually found such an amazing boyfriend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t really pay much attention to those Eastern countries, she had heard of Lu Hualiang, Huaxia’s richest man, whose empire had already gone international!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prominent figure on the Forbes global billionaire list!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina felt very uncomfortable indeed, used to think David was great, handsome, famous, with a good family background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they say comparison breeds injury!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David simply couldn’t compare to Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina was about to explode, feeling nothing was going her way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Used to believe she was favored by fate, yet out of nowhere Xia Weibao appeared, overshadowing her in every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so upset she couldn’t eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Xia Weibao also being in this restaurant was even more frustrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding an excuse to change dining venues, she didn’t expect to encounter reporters at the entrance as she was leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a famous person in F country, recognized wherever she went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter originally noticed Xia Weibao’s side profile and found it familiar, wanting to follow quietly for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet instead of catching Xia Weibao, they found Brina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reporters from F country, Brina’s news value far outweighed that of Xia Weibao, after all, she was from their own country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, they hastily approached for an interview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Brina, I’m a reporter from XX Newspaper, may I ask you a few questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina was feeling irritated and didn’t want to engage at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, XX Newspaper was quite reputable, so she dared not offend their reporters easily, thus nodded haughtily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter quickly asked, \"Miss Brina, how do you feel about losing to Huaxia’s representative Xia Weibao at the international dance competition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly a sharp question from the famous mouth of XX Newspaper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David’s face had already darkened; Brina was his girlfriend, and her embarrassment reflected poorly on him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina, quite irritated, said, \"Regarding missing out on the championship, I’m very regretful. Who could blame me for not having any backers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used to firmly believe that strength was the most important thing, but reality has slapped me hard, this is a world of strong powers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",597,"2026-06-06T16:22:24.236Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9a310cbd7185db1bde3fd62da06de56610a43bc407addfbdadd5e95bca85ea1","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1552","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1400",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
