Chapter 58: Chaos in the Ruan Family (1)

On one side, netizens were arguing about Ruan Tao and Qiao Dai’s birthday parties, and on the other, COCO announced Qiao Dai’s venue would be changed and to wait for follow-up information.

People on Qiao Dai’s side couldn’t bear the injustice; Qiao Dai’s birthday had obviously been announced first but in the end, they were the ones making last-minute changes. Just because Qiao Dai’s background was not as good as Ruan Tao’s, did that mean she could only swallow her anger and submit?

Many posts quickly appeared on rather large forums just to discuss this matter and one of them focused on the love-hate relationship between the two girls. Soon enough, the topic was shared everywhere and the conversation heated up.

[I’m not looking for a conspiracy or anything, but to be honest, I can’t help but think Ruan Tao is deliberately targeting Qiao Dai this time.]

[Ruan Tao has been in the circle for so long and had never marketed her birthday like that. Why is this year so different? She quit , why does she need that much hype?]

Quickly, the discussion took that way. Because Ruan Tao had been overwhelmed many times by Qiao Dai in , she had been unhappy and left the show. And after watching Qiao Dai’s popularity and success, her company had decided to retaliate and the birthday parties had been the result.

This might have been far-fetched to some, but once doubt was seeded, netizens looked more into Ruan Tao’s actions and soon discovered her targeting of Qiao Dai was a real possibility.

When the trainees of COCO Entertainment and Galaxy were waiting together for the first rating, Ruan Tao deliberately ignored Qiao Dai. The program group had diffused the tension and it had only been the first episode at this time, everyone’s attitude toward each other had been relatively unfamiliar.

But added to Qiao Dai and Lai You’s battle, Ruan Tao’s words following it, and the strange look she had given her during the group photos, netizens realized that maybe Ruan Tao had disliked Qiao Dai from the very beginning.

[Has anyone noticed Ruan Tao’s subtle attitude towards any ’s girls? Even towards the girls from Galaxy? Chin raised, overlooking gaze, indifferent tone… Her fans keep boasting about the superior education of the little princess but isn’t it just arrogance?]

People started to look into all of Ruan Tao’s various expressions in the show and whether it was intentional or not, her chin was always raised and despite her seemingly patient attitude, her eyes were always bored when someone talked to her. She didn’t look very attentive most of the time and usually stopped a conversation quickly with only two or three words. Even when she was with her teammates, she didn’t appear or act intimate and there was always a sense of distance between her and the other girls.

Ruan Tao’s fans were immediately unhappy and rushed to the topic to fight with the rest of the netizens.

Fans of the other Galaxy girls who were still in the competition were not happy seeing them brought into the scolding war by Ruan Tao’s fans. Ruan Tao had already withdrawn from both and Galaxy, they had nothing to do with each other anymore but seeing the direction the conversation was taking, they all wanted to work out each past event one by one.

[If it weren’t for your princess Ruan Tao, would the rest of Galaxy become cannon fodder during the initial rating?]

[All of whom have followed Galaxy for a long time know enough. Is Ruan Tao Galaxy’s main investor? Are the others supposed to be only her foils?]

Very quickly, the discussion was out of control and someone chose this time to break one piece of important news—

[Do you really all believe Ruan Tao’s birthday party is just to steal Qiao Dai’s limelight? Didn’t Ruan Tao say she quit Galaxy because of her injury? In fact, her father wanted to force her to make trouble. Both father and daughter were kicked out of the board of directors and they are using this time to make a comeback. If you don’t believe me, check the Internet, it’s full of surprises!]

According to this person, Ruan Tao had not been willing to quit. But after Ruan Mingyi’s downfall, the two of them had had no choice but to retreat and leave in despair. They had used the injury as an excuse but the truth was that they had been swept out by the Cheng family.

This time, the birthday party was a way to heat up Ruan Tao’s popularity and pre-announce her comeback to the entertainment circle.

Netizens went to search the Internet for relevant information and found out that the time was just right. They realized Ruan Tao’s birthday was such a grand occasion because Ruan Mingyi was trying to attract investors.
