By now, everyone knew that she had gotten the role. Everyone on the Internet and also everyone at their school had heard about it. The news had already been spread.

A role change at this point was undoubtedly a slap to her face.

Mo Shiyun wanted to ask Ms. Qian if it was because someone else had interfered.

The words lingered in her throat for quite some time. However, in the end, she swallowed them back down.

After Mo Shiyun hung up the phone, she walked back to the cafeteria with grief in her heart.

The moment she entered the cafeteria, she saw Zhu Sha and all the other students that were seated nearby looking at her.

She could almost see the mockery in their eyes.

They were laughing at her, weren’t they?

The role that she had just gotten had been taken away.

Mo Shiyun’s gaze fell on Jian Yiling.

However, Jian Yiling had been focused on eating. She hadn’t noticed the change around her.

Neither Jian Yiling nor Hu Jiaojiao had followed the official blog of the drama group. And thus, they didn’t know that Mo Shiyun had lost her role.

It was only when Mo Shiyun stared at her that Jian Yiling raised her head.

After she saw Mo Shiyun’s eyes, Jian Yiling felt as though the other party seemed to have some hostility towards her.

Ever since she had crossed over to this world, there had been very little interaction between her and Mo Shiyun.

She hadn’t been interested in Qin Chuan. She wasn’t jealous of Mo Shiyun either.

After Zhu Sha saw the announcement on the official blog, she cried out:

“Shiyun, what’s going on? What’s the reason behind this cast change?”

Zhu Sha’s voice brought out Mo Shiyun’s emotions. In the past few days, she had been trying her best to keep up with her busy schedule, all the expectations, and all the hardships. All these emotions surfaced at once. Tears came to her eyes.

Mo Shiyun didn’t want to cry. However, something that she had tried so hard to get had suddenly dissipated in front of her. She couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with grief.

When Mo Shiyun started crying, the people around her were dumbfounded.

Zhu Sha hurried forward to comfort her: “Shiyun, don’t cry! It’s… It’s…”

Zhu Sha didn’t know how to comfort Mo Shiyun. When she was at a loss of what to do, she saw Jian Yiling who was beside them.

Based on Mo Shiyun’s reaction, it was easy to guess that her role had been swapped out probably because of Jian Yiling.

“Jian Yiling! How could you do this?! Do you know how hard Shiyun worked to get this role? Do you know how much effort and energy she invested in this?! Just because you want to make a name for yourself, you went so far as to ruin the role that she had worked so hard for?! Isn’t that excessive of you?! Just because your family is rich and powerful, that doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want! You can’t just go around and ruin the fruits of other people’s labor!”

Originally, only the students that were seated around Zhu Sha could hear them. However, when Zhu Sha lashed out, the entire cafeteria quietened. Everyone looked this way.

For a moment, almost everyone’s eyes were focused on Jian Yiling and Mo Shiyun.

Zhu Sha didn’t care that the matter had become a big deal. She wanted to use this opportunity to vent out Jian Yiling’s evil deeds. She wanted to expose everything that Jian Yiling had done so that everyone could properly judge the situation.

“Shiyun’s background is not as good as you! She wasn’t born into a good family. And thus, she has worked very hard to get to where she is today! She has gotten results based on her own efforts. She has to work twice as hard to get the things that you take for granted. How can you destroy her just because you’re jealous? You can’t do things like that!”
