Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: All a Scam

Major competition, if you really want to spend money, it’s no small sum.

Although the Chu Family’s financial situation is decent, Father Chu and Mrs. Chu wish they could have Chu Yin sell herself to support Chu Wu.

Where would they have spare money?

Unless Chu Wu is truly a dance prodigy.

But Lin Zhiyi always felt that Chu Wu didn’t quite seem like it.

Raising her gaze, Chu Yin also looked at her, and the two of them had the same thought.

Chu Yin said, "I don’t like being associated with Chu Wu. After I went to college, I seldom went home. My mom and relatives and friends always praise Chu Wu’s dance skills, but I’ve never actually seen it myself. However, there are quite a few of her trophies at home, so it should be legit."

Lin Zhiyi pressed, "What kind of trophies?"

Chu Yin immediately took out her phone.

"The room where Chu Wu keeps her trophies and practices dancing used to be my bedroom. Once I went to college, my parents converted my room. I took some photos when I went home during a break."

After listening, Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips together.

No matter how impoverished Lin Zhiyi and Liu He were, Liu He would buy pretty curtains to separate a space for her in their one-bedroom apartment.

But Chu Yin seemed like she had been pushed out instead.

Chu Yin said nonchalantly, "It’s okay, I’m fine, I’m used to it. Take a look at these photos."

Lin Zhiyi leaned in to take a look; she had also participated in competitions before.

So she knew not all competitions were meaningful.

Many commercial competitions were just for show; some even could arrange for fame with a little money.

There could even be situations where thirty people participate and everyone receives an award.

Lin Zhiyi searched the competition names on the trophies, and she indeed discovered something fishy.

"Out of these dozen or so trophies, only this third-place competition is legitimate. Almost all the others have a commercial performance element."

"No way? I don’t participate in competitions, but I’ve heard some of these competition names, this one, this one, and this one..."

Chu Yin enlarged the photo and pointed at some of the trophies.

Back then, when Chu Wu came back with the trophies, their parents threw a banquet, and she was very envious.

It led to a long period of anxiety for her.

Lin Zhiyi explained, "These indeed have the same names as official major competitions, but do you see that little alias below? These are all commercial entertainment competitions under the major competitions. Truly skilled people don’t join them, and almost everyone can win an award."

"I... Oh, my!"

Chu Yin held back for a long time, only to realize she had been deceived by her parents since childhood.

Lin Zhiyi laughed, "Your parents care about their image, and your sister knows how to charm people, so they shifted resources to her. In the end, they found she had no talent, but they wouldn’t admit they were wrong and just kept going, eventually believing it themselves."

"Why? When I was learning an instrument, my teacher genuinely praised me, calling me great. Why wouldn’t they share some affection with me?"

"Because whether it’s in life or career, they can’t control their superiors and elders, nor their relatives and friends below. The only ones they could control are you sisters."

Lin Zhiyi spoke bit by bit.

Chu Yin opened and closed her mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.

She picked up her phone and dialed a former classmate of Chu Wu’s.

"Sister Chu? Is it really you?" The other party was pleasantly surprised.

"It’s me, sorry to bother you. I wanted to ask about the competitions Xiao Wu was going to participate in a few years ago."

"Chu Wu? Competitions? Oh, I remember now. Back then, the teacher had us all sign up. Such major competitions were just for show to gain experience. Why, is there a problem?"

"Just for show?" Chu Yin caught the key point and asked, "But I heard Xiao Wu say she had a chance to win an award."
