Hard to Escape/In Love with a Counterfeit Tall Rich Handsome Chapter 23.1

In truth, even up to now, I still didn’t know my Chinese name . I only deduced from the name “Alicia Tang” that my last name was probably Tang (唐) . There were very few French media reports on me . There was only a few clipped phrases from when Madame Taylor took on new pupils . Afterwards, there apparently were no article features . Even with my disappearance, there was only the police announcement . Even more strange was that among the materials Frank gave me, other than the recordings from his doc.u.mentary master tape, there weren’t any recordings of my public performances .  

The mysteries were piled one on top of the other .

Why would an accomplished ballet dancer not perform on stage even once for over 8 years, not even attend a single ballet compet.i.tion, and not even exist in the ballet social circle? It was like she was purposely suppressed . These 8 years it was like she was hidden in a blanket of snow and wearing a “Madame Taylor’s beloved pupil” cloak . She originally could have relied on this to climb the mountain and become a dancer in the spotlight . Yet she completely faded from the public eye .

No matter if it’s the post-amnesia me or pre-amnesia me, the mark we’ve left on the earth is so frail .

Contrarily, Yin Xuan wasn’t like this . The fas.h.i.+on tabloids loved to gossip about her the most . Her compet.i.tion awards could be traced back all the way to when she was 10 . She was a young lady of note among the upper echelons of French society . The television was now playing the high-profile interview she gave after returning to the country . The interview publicized the fact that she would soon be starring in “Alone I Dance”, a huge blockbuster film .

I sat in the Yin residence looking at Yin Xuan’s young and proud face on the screen .

“I’ve tried acting for the first time because the subject matter is just to my taste . Ever since I started dancing at the age of 4, dance has been the fire in my life . I very much like the script . I will be appearing as the female lead . I’d like to thank the directors for giving me this opportunity . ”

The host of the show smiled and asked, “I’ve heard that Director Meng has planned for this movie for three years already, but never found the appropriate actress . I imagine that he has looked for a long time to find such a perfect person like Ms . Yin to cast . Ms . Yin’s ballet accomplishments are even noteworthy in France . In the whole of Chinese history, there hasn’t been another person who has achieved your level of ballet skills and name recognition at such young of an age . “Alone I dance” will have many ballet dance shots . To be able to find Ms . Yin is the fortune of us all . We don’t even have to pay the price to be able to appreciate such a elegant, refined ballet performance . ”

Yin Xuan comfortably accepted the host’s praise . Her expression read of a self-righteous n.o.bleness and a stern pride, as if all was as ought to be . This sort of life was rightfully hers . With Yin Li as protector and the Yin Corporation as backing, she could pursue anything she wanted . Everything she thought a nuisance would be crushed to smithereens .

Even to this day, there was not a trace of regret to be found on her face, let alone shame or fear . For the most part she deeply trusted in her brother, and trusted that I had been pulled out of the wide open ocean into a quagmire, and no matter how hard I tried I would never be able to make any ripple again .

Her road was full of glory and splendor, and her future was just as bright . In contrast, I didn’t even know what I did in the past .

“Yan Xiao, dinner is ready . ” Yin Li’s voice was tender . When he opened the door and entered, he also saw Yin Xuan on the screen . I glanced at him and then turned off the television . Yin Xuan’s face abruptly disappeared .

Yin Li probably felt a bit awkward . He rubbed my head and bent over to kiss my forehead . “Yin Xuan originally came back just to shoot this film . If you don’t want to see her, I’ll have her permanently stay in France . ”

He was very confident that I wouldn’t use the law to punish Yin Xuan .

Sitting down to eat, I felt like I was chewing wax . Everything was tasteless . After a few bites, I threw down my chopsticks . “Yin Li, I want to see Yin Xuan’s ballet studio . ”

Yin Li tidied the table and then nodded and brought me over . He couldn’t figure out what was on my mind, and could only look at me with a slightly doubtful look .

When the door to the ballet studio opened, we were met by a wave of dust . This was the second time here, yet my mood was completely different .

On the wall, there was still the row of photos of Yin Xuan beautifully striking those ballet poses .

“Can you explain the background behind each picture?” I turned and asked Yin Li . “I feel like that kind of life, learning ballet from such a young age, must be wonderful . What was it like when Yin Xuan was learning?”

Later on, I would ask Yin Li about my past . But the results would leave me disappointed . He didn’t fully understand it and could only lightly sketch out the part when Yin Xuan crossed paths with me . However, he knew Yin Xuan very well . Every bit, from Yin Xuan’s youth to her today, from her childhood to her growth to her transformation, was carved in his memories .

“This photo is taken when Yin Xuan was 15 . The next one is half a year later . She grew quite a bit . ”

“This is the theatrical photo of when she was Esmeralda in the production of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ . It was that performance that she entered Paris Opera Ballet . Before that performance, she had never performed on a stage with an incline . At first, she was unaccustomed and fell so much that she could only take a cortisone shot and continue dancing . ” Yin Li had originally planned to maintain a simple, calm tone to describe all this . But his feelings still slipped out from within his words . Yin Xuan was his one and only sister . As he stared at the photos on the wall, even if he tried to keep a neutral demeanor, his pride for Yin Xuan leaked out unnoticed .
