Xu Xiyan did not go through any backdoor for the spot. She won because of her own talent.
If she really wanted to use her connections, she would've called Huo Yunshen and had him land her the spot.
But she did not do so because she wanted to challenge herself. Success came with losing; that was the way she wanted to live
Xu Xinrou began to waver. Xu Xiyan was right since there was no way Xu Xinrou could've won too if Huo Yunshen had a part in it.
Yet she felt angry since she had to share the part with Xu Xiyan.
"Do you really think I want to share the spot with you?" Xu Xinrou scolded. "Thinking of it makes me want to puke!"
Xu Xinrou stared at Xu Xiyan with a twisted face. If it were legal, she would've strangled Xu Xiyan to death on the spot.
Yet Xu Xiyan did not bite back at her, but slapped Xu Xinrou instead.
"Jing Xi! What was that for!"
