Chapter 545: To win the championship, talk about it after you’ve won R.   Chapter 545: To win the championship, talk about it after you’ve won R.                                   “What belongs to others, and you yourself are just third ce, what right do you have to mock Xinyan?”


    Lydia heard this and looked at Su Xinyan with an amused expression on her face.


    “Even if I am third ce, I am stillst year’s runner-up. Would I be worse than someone who made it into the top five years ago? Are you here to make jokes?”


    Abby, full of disdain, said with a sneer, “So what? Havingpeted for so many years and you’re still just third ce, Xinyan got fifth ce in her firstpetition five years ago. Compared to that, who’s really the joke?”


    “Exactly, if it weren’t for Xinyan leaving the design circle for so many years, what business would she have here?”


    “Yeah! Maybe she would have won the championship by now. Today she wouldn’t be bullied by a mere third-ce finisher.”


    Su Xinyan curled her lips.


    Lydia’s face turned sour, and the people around her whispered to one another, their indirect and strange gazes all falling on her.


    A momentter, she huffed and said with a scornfulugh,


    “If you want the championship, wait until you’ve beaten R.”


    As soon as the name R was mentioned, the whole room instantly erupted.


    “Oh~  R? The six-time reigning champion, my ultimate idol!”


    “I heard that he was not yet twenty when he firstpeted, and from that moment on, he won six consecutive championships. He’s a genius, no, a once-in-a-century Genius!”


    “What’s so great about getting fifth ce in your firstpetition? R has been the champion from his very firstpetition, always the champion, and no one has yet seeded in dethroning him.”


    As soon as Su Xinyan heard these words, her entire body filled with jealousy and rage.


    If it weren’t for that damn R, today all the glory would have been hers.


    A genius designer who had returned to the design circle after a five-year absence was making a powerfuleback!


    The momentum she had so hard to build up was stolen by the mere mention of his name.


    What was even more frustrating was that, despite asking many people, she couldn’t find out anything about this R — not even a hint.


    There was not a single piece of his work on the market, and nobody even knew which country he was from, or whether he was a man or a woman.


    Yet the mention of his name could shake the entire design circle.


    “Hmph, what’s so great about R? If Xinyan hadn’t left the design circle, what business would the championship have with him?”


    At this time, someone blurted out an earth-shattering statement.


    “Indeed, with Xinyan’s talent, she would’ve taken the crown long ago. Could he have won six times in a row then?”


    “So you’re saying Xinyan effectively paved the way for him?”


    “But, his luck is about to run out. Xinyan has entered thepetition this year, and she will surely shatter his path to the championship.”


    “…”


    “…”


    The air fell into dead silence!


    The people around looked at the few people around Su Xinyan as if they were fools.


    Those who didn’t understand Chinese had it tranted into English by those who did, and then they looked on with a peculiar expression.


    “Who is this ignorant human being? Didn’t Heart alsopete when R won his second championship?”


    “That’s right, it was thatpetition where she first participated and finished fifth, but R was already a two-time champion, okay?”


    “Forget it, what’s the point of arguing with these ignorant people? Who knows if we’ll ever get to see my idol in our lifetimes!”


    “Although I’d love to meet him, too, he has never shown his face or even gone up to collect an award. So secretive and low-profile, it might be difficult.”


    Lydia swept a disdainful nce at Su Xinyan, whose face had turned pale, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.


    She was wasting her time with a fool!


    Because of the name “R”, thepetition venue was almost exploding!


    When Su Ran arrived, it was a noisymotion.


    She wore a light-colored, form-fitting dress today, her long hair elegantly tied up, devoid of any superfluous decorations, yet still retaining an understated beauty.


    Still the epitome of simplicity and modesty, her arrival didn’t draw much attention.


    Of course, this did not include Su Xinyan, who had been searching for her all along.


    Upon seeing Su Ran arrive fashionablyte, especially with that naturally poised demeanor, showing not the slightest sign of nervousness,


    a sh of menace and loathing streaked across Su Xinyan’s eyes.


    Eventually, she thought it over and walked towards Su Ran.


    “Sister, you’ve arrived!”


    Su Ran raised an eyebrow but did not respond.


    Abby, following behind Su Xinyan, approached Su Ran, and a flicker of jealousy passed through her eyes upon seeing Su Ran’s exquisitely beautiful face.


    “Oh, isn’t this our national champion? Arriving at this time, it seems Miss Su truly doesn’t take the internationalpetition seriously!”


    Abby’s words made everyone’s gaze fall squarely on Su Ran, their slightly furrowed brows indicating their displeasure toward her.


    Su Ran looked coldly at Abby and finally raised an eyebrow and chuckled,


    “You’re taking it seriously, but what does the internationalpetition have to do with you?”


    “You…”


    Abby was left speechless with frustration.


    Su Xinyan gave Abby a nce before she spoke,


    “Sis, Abby was once in the international top ten, and although you’re the champion of the national design contest, you’re still a neer on the international stage. It’s a bit… to speak to Abby in such a manner.”


    Abby snorted coldly, “Forget it, Xinyan, I’ve experienced your sister’s diva attitude before. After all, she’s the national champion, so a bit of arrogance is expected. However, for a champion with a history of giarism to participate, I don’t understand what the organizers were thinking, letting someone like thatpete. Winning would be shameful, and losing would bring utter disgrace upon our citizens of Hua Country.”


    Abby’s words effectively blocked all paths for Su Ran. Regardless of whether she won or lost, Su Ran would be the disgrace of Hua Country.


    Hearing about Su Ran’s alleged giarism, others’ faces filled with disdain.


    “What’s more infuriating is that she giarized your design, Xinyan. A giarist bes the champion, while our Xinyan had to settle for second ce. It’s simply too unfair!”


    Many contestants who understood the conversation cast disdainful nces at Su Ran.


    Although they didn’t consider Heart to be on par with “R”, she had, after all, secured fifth ce in her firstpetition.


    Such an achievement at a young age was rare indeed, which also underscored Heart’s talent and her own worth.


    Most of the people present acknowledged her abilities.


    “Isn’t Heart the champion of their national preliminary selections? She’s indeed very impressive!”


    “Didn’t you hear? Her older sister, who giarized her designs, took the championship.”


    “A giarist won the championship? Are you sure there’s no inside story? And how could they let a giaristpete?”


    “Poor Heart, someone stole the championship that should have been hers with her own designs.”


    Su Xinyan curled her lips in a smirk; she wanted Su Ran to lose miserably in thispetition, and also to expose her identity as a “giarist.”


    The more people who knew now, the more condemnation and scorn she would face when thepetition results were out.


    History is always rewritten by the victors; once she won thepetition, even if evidence was presented, how many people would be willing to believe her?


    As for Su Ran, she was finished!
