Chapter 13 - Qin Jua reality show - 3
Jing Tian was perplexed with anxiety. She nervously looked at her mother preparing for the words to say.
The dress was hideous.
Qin Jua was shocked. But being the professional host, she quickly controlled her expressions. Other people in the room stared at Jing Tian in confusion. If Jing Tian had good taste why would she choose it? Or was she deliberately trying to make her sister look bad? Jing Tian was transfixed with embarrassment.
"The dress is indeed very...", Qin Jua struggled to find the right word and purposely used an ambiguous word. "Striking." Qin Jua was smart. She quickly understood the sibling’s relation. She understood that it was Jing Lihua’s plan to expose her sister. A little respect developed in her heart for Jing Lihua.
"I selected this color because JieJie told me she fancied bright colors." Jing Tian quickly came up with an excuse to defend herself. "I would sure have never selected it myself but looking at my sister’s past preferences I was afraid that she would reject the dress if I made a choice on my own." Jing Tian shamelessly lied.
"Who is she fooling? Any dress would be better than that hideous thing."
"It is clear she deliberately choose the dress to make her sister look bad."
"Sister Jing Tian wasn’t it you who said the bright colors suit me best?" Jing Lihua’s face looked utterly confused. Did Jing Tian think that Jing Lihua would not defend herself? "And why are you saying that? I never once rejected the dress you chose for me. I have already told you whatever you choose for me, I would wear it without any objection. I trust my Xiao meimei judgment. I wish I was gifted with such discernment in fashion. But I am gifted with such a wonderful Xiao meimei" Her eyes were filled with sincere admiration.
The people understood everything. So it has always been Jing Tian who was responsible for the bad dressings of Jing Lihua in the past? They couldn’t hold off the disgusted looks from their faces.
One sister clearly loves and trusts her sister with everything and the other one, she constantly deceives her?
"Enough talk about fashion." He Zhoyan came to her daughter’s defense and she glared at Jing Lihua from the side of her eyes in a way no one could tell. But Jing Lihua felt her anger and resentment. "Now let’s perform the next activity. What was it again? Yes, the quizzes!"
They seated on the couches while Qin Jua brought the booklet. There was an evil smile in her eyes. She had hired many scholars from various fields to make all those questions.
You have impressed everyone with your dress but let’s see how do you pass this challenge!
Qin was passionate about her job. She liked to test her guests to their limits. Though she said professional words in front of celebrities, no one had ever managed to earn her respect. But this Jing Lihua intrigued her. So she naturally wanted to test her further.
"Jing Lihua and Jing Tian, you both will be playing. Both of you can select a partner"
Jing Tian chose a close family member who was known for her love for books. Jing Lihua simply chose Zhao Liying.
"Rules are simple. I will ask you both 50 questions from general knowledge. Give the right answer and you’ll gain a point. A wrong answer and you will lose a point." Qin Jua explained sounding quite energetic. "The one with the most points wins in the last and will choose the next task of competition"
Being from the future had certain advantages. Jing Lihua knew all the questions and of course their very answers. So whenever Qin Jua asked a question, Jing Lihua quickly answered before Jing Tian or her proud companion could speak anything. Qin Jua was flabbergasted.
In her last life, she had only answered thirteen questions correctly; she couldn’t even answer the question in the subject she had majored in. While Jing Tian had scored 28 with the help of her friend. Qin Jua reality show wasn’t a small show. It was repeated on various entertainment shows.
In her last life, there were small 30 seconds clips cut from the shows. They were shared countless times on social media. In the clips, Jing Lihua had given the wrong answers to many questions. She was laughed at, on various video-sharing platforms. Jing Lihua didn’t know who was exactly behind it. But Jing Tian had something to do with it.
In the end, Jing Lihue answered 36 questions, Zhao Liying to 10 answers related to the entertainment world. Jing Tian and her friend only to three questions. Out of which, two were replied by her companion. Jing Tian’s head was dropping with embarrassment. Her nails dug in the palms of her hands. She tried her best to maintain a fake smile on her face.
"Didn’t He Zhoyan always used to flaunt that her daughter spends hours reading all sorts of good books?"
"Yes, He Zouyan even told me once that her daughter was a topper in her class. She said no one could match her ac.u.men. She even humiliated my daughter for not knowing the meaning of an idiom."
"Humph! She must have been lying. Didn’t we all see how Jing Tian only answered one question? Such an embarrassment! Even a toddler could answer at least five questions. The whole family seems to be a bunch of liars! Leaving Jing Lihua of course who is not only talented but also a big-hearted sister."
Guests couldn’t stop the admiration from appearing in their eyes once they looked at Jing Lihua. Although most of them were here fawn over Jing Tian, they couldn’t just overlook Jing Lihua. She was so appealing due to her calm temperament and knowledgeable character. They couldn’t stop themselves from admiring her.
"Who are you and what did you do to Jing Lihua?" Zhao Liying dramatically said. She was the one who was most surprised by Jing Lihua’s change. She knew her Xiao Hua was a little naive. How could she know so much? "My Xiao Hua was a dullard"
"I’m Einstein and I reincarnated in this body after Jing Lihua died tragedically suffering from your bickering"
Zhao Liying wanted to retaliate but Qin Jua came forward.
"Since you have won with your extraordinary points, you’ll choose the next task." Qin Jua typical tune cracked and a hint of great admiration revealed. "In my career have never met anybody who answered 32 questions correctly."
"Sister Qin’s questions were very easy." Jing Lihua laughed as if it was a joke.
Qin Jua paused. Her face twitched. Easy? You say easy? Tell that easy to those countless celebrities in her previous shows who couldn’t even answer 15 questions!
"And I bet never in your career you have somebody who couldn’t answer more than one question. Haha..." Zhao Liying glanced at Jing Tian. "Don’t take it to heart sister Jing Tian. I’m only joking. It’s not you are bad. But Jing Lihua was much better. I’m sure you would have answered at least five questions if it was not Jing Lihua who stole all the questions."
Was this supposed to console her or to further sprinkle salt on her wounds?
The smile on Jing Tian’s face was going stiffer and stiffer. She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even come up with a proper retort. All she could do was only praise her sister while countless eyes were looking at them.
"Alright. Now I’ll choose the next task." Jing Lihua was feeling a little pity for her sister. Her bestie was sure ruthless. "A piano duet"
Everyone was excited. Jing Tian down mood suddenly lifted up. Her wet eyes that looked like about to cry, lightened with happiness. fr(e)ewebnovel.com
Was her sister stupid? Who didn’t know Jing Lihua couldn’t play the piano? She had once made a fool of herself in a formal party trying to play the piano. Her father had gotten so angry back then that he had locked her up in a room for three days.
