Chapter 463: Her Counterattack Made Her Top Socialite
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If she was going to dance ballet, her dance would not look good with her legs covered by the skirt. After all, this was a dance whereby people watched the legs.
Was it because she was afraid that she wouldn’t look good because she didn’t learn it well?
That would really make it all the more obvious.
Everyone also knew that judging purely on dancing, Lu Chuxia was already very professional. She was indeed hard to beat.
Lu Chuxia looked at Lin Che. Although she was surprised by that costume, she still scoffed and walked over. She grunted through her nose and said scornfully, “You’re always trying to get attention by being different. That makes sense. Once you leave Gu Jingze, you would need to attract all kinds of people to support yourself. Alright, go and attract all these men. Look at all those lads on the stands. None of them may ever be as good as Gu Jingze, but at least they are rich. They’ll be able to support you for more than a lifetime.”
Lin Che didn’t look at her. Instead, after Lu Chuxia brushed past her, she turned back and called for her backup dancers.
When she stood on stage, everyone still couldn’t figure what kind of dance she prepared.
On stage, Lin Che took a deep breath. This was it. She couldn’t think of anything else and everything depended on herself.
Thus, she closed her eyes, bowed to the audience, and then listened to the music. It was slowly beginning.
All eyes were fixated on her.
With the music, Lin Che got into her pose.
Suddenly, when the music started, Lin Che jumped into a split. To everyone’s surprise, this ballet skirt was long but it flowed with the split. When she stood there, it didn’t give away anything. But when she started dancing, her legs were exposed. Her fair legs intertwined with the black silk ribbons, making her slender legs look even more slender. When she pranced around, both sides of the skirt flew and made her look especially ethereal. It was explosive and made everyone’s eyes light up.
Later on, the audience realized that Lin Che was not performing an ordinary dance routine. She was performing a segment of a short play.
The name of this short play was called ‘The Counterattack of the Black Swan’.
The black swan was the most classic treacherous character in ballet shows. The black swan would always stand in opposition to the white swan like the evil witch in a fairy tale.
This segment was re-arranged and the black swan performed by Lin Che was still treacherous. However, it also had her grief and sadness. It was like a character who was evil but in reality, she was being despised as she insisted on her own path. Even though her feet were covered with thorns and her back was burdened with insults, she still continued on her path towards the top.
Lin Che danced and pranced.
Her expressions were sometimes evil, indifferent, sinister, and extremely vicious. The darkness was prominent.
Most of the dance included jumps and spins. It fully utilized the skirt’s effect.
Everyone was so engrossed in watching her that they didn’t look at anything else.
Lin Che’s stage appeal was outstanding. She was an actress and she knew how to act. Although her dance was not particularly outstanding or professional, she used drama and her acting skills to capture everyone’s hearts.
Lin Che knew that she couldn’t outdo Lu Chuxia in terms of professionalism. Thus, she made use of what she was good at to garner attention. Her professional performance shook everybody’s hearts.
So on that day, she quickly went to her ballet instructor. The two of them spent all the time they had to choreograph this dance for her.
The ballet instructor was also very surprised. She didn’t think that Lin Che would actually have this ability, however, Lin Che surprised everyone else too.
Everyone usually only saw this delicate girl. This was the first time that they saw Lin Che actually perform such an evil role.
At the end of her performance, she stood there and her skirt fell back to her sides once again. Her long legs stood straight, showing desolation.
The crowd was in total silence. Not a sound was heard except for her heavy breathing.
Finally, the crowd roared and applauded.
Lin Che was going to win.
—
Lu Chuxia watched from behind. She didn’t have the time to change out as she watched the crowd outside already go wild.
Lu Chuxia stood there in a daze. Her face was frozen.
How could it be? How could it be?
Lin Che won?
Lin Che actually won against her?
She wasn’t willing to believe it, but she had to.
Lin Che really beat her…
Lu Chuxia sat down slowly.
She really couldn’t believe it, but Lin Che didn’t follow what Lu Chuxia expected. To think that she would actually come up with such a strange way to help her win.
—
The WW party was not yet over.
Everyone was happily talking and saying that this year’s WW banquet was really the most interesting one in history.
When all these socialites first came, they wanted to give the competition a shot. After all, they all wanted to be the top socialite and win. However, after arriving, they saw that all the attention was on Lin Che and Lu Chuxia. Thus, they all naturally gave up.
After all, they also understood that Lin Che represented the Gu family while Lu Chuxia represented the Lu family. If these two families wanted to compete for victory here, nobody could naturally have the ability to compete with them.
Furthermore, Lin Che and Lu Chuxia were both so outstanding, beautiful and attractive.
So at the end of the competition, they also talked about Lin Che and Lu Chuxia with great interest.
In the beginning, people were truly only curious about Lin Che. They all guessed that she wouldn’t be able to win. In the end, nobody thought that she would succeed in her counterattack, just like in her ballet performance. She caused a turn of events on Lu Chuxia who was usually favored.
Now, she earned her place as the top socialite.

Gu Jingze very quickly let his attendants pack up.
After the final dinner gathering, they would have to leave this small island.
Gu Jingze continued working in their room while Lin Che grew bored and walked out to call Yu Minmin.
Yu Minmin said, “Congratulations! I already heard that you won.”
“Thank you! Everybody worked hard for this,” Lin Che replied. “But how did you know?”
“I heard it from the maids. They said that you saved the day and successfully outcompeted Lu Chuxia. You never heard how they praised you… until it doesn’t even sound like you. They said that you’re especially pretty and you enchanted so many men. You have no idea how many guys are clamoring over you and want to get to know you.”
“No way…”
“Really! Being a socialite in this circle is like being a celebrity, to begin with. If you’re not a social butterfly, a woman’s position in business is already awkward enough. Being a socialite makes socializing and networking easier. Alright! Hurry back home! Your movie is going to be screened soon. Hurry back to do some publicity.”
