Chapter 10: The Ex-Girlfriend of a Wealthy Young Man (10)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Strange." Tang Guo massaged her temples, as though she were racking her brains. Then, finally, she shook her head and said, "Big Sister, I don't think we've met before."
Big Sister, I don't think we've met before.
When Lu Qi heard this, she completely lost her cool and grew somewhat tense.
She was indeed older than Tang Guo. She was twenty-one, while Tang Guo was nineteen. That made her a full two years older than Tang Guo.
"Guo, even if you hate me, Qiqi didn't do anything bad to you or do you any wrong. Can't you just talk nicely?" Leng Ziyue said. Yesterday, because of the mischievous prank Tang Guo had pulled, he had to spend a good half of the day explaining himself to Qiqi.
"Guo, I want to talk to you today because I want to make everything clear," Leng Ziyue said. He couldn't take it anymore. He went on to say, "Everything's my fault. We didn't have a relationship to start with. I'm going to say something that will probably hurt you: I was only with you because of Qiqi. I merely thought of you as Qiqi's shadow. The two of us were always clean and innocent, and when Qiqii came back, I finally figured out that I couldn't go on like that anymore."
"Besides, I've given you the full amount of money you asked for. So please don't ruin my relationship with Qiqi anymore."
Tang Guo yawned and said, "Just like how pure gold doesn't fear the flame. If the two of you really are in love, why are you afraid of me getting in the way?"
"Miss Tang, are you really going to pester us like this?" Lu Qi asked, unable to hold back any longer. Seeing Tang Guo act like this, she chose to believe Leng Ziyue and said, "I advise you not to go about ruining relationships. You won't come to a good end."
Lu Qi had already thought about how she could retaliate when Tang Guo made her next move, but to her surprise, Tang Guo suddenly said, "The two of you are so compatible. Don't worry, I'm not the least interested in Leng Ziyue."
She was all smiles as she said, "I found a man who's a hundred times stronger than Leng Ziyue.
"I'm not going to say anything more. It's almost time to go on stage," Tang Guo said as she finally stood up. As she passed by Leng Ziyue's side, she suddenly came to a halt. Raising her hand, she patted Leng Ziyue, who was much taller than her, on the shoulder, and in a grave tone, she said in all earnestness, "Young man, get along well. A relationship that hasn't experienced any setbacks isn't a true relationship. I'm optimistic about your relationship. It looks promising."
Leng Ziyue's face stiffened. Judging from Tang Guo's tone just now, she was clearly treating him as someone from a younger generation.
When he thought about how Tang Guo was already his father's woman, he felt terrible, as if he had just eaten a fly.
"Ziyue, I believe you. This woman is really eccentric and unreasonable. She must have been upset yesterday, which is why she said all that." Lu Qi took Leng Ziyue by the arm and said, "It's starting soon. Let's go in too."
Leng Ziyue nodded stiffly. In his heart, he was really looking forward to his father cutting off all ties with Tang Guo as early as possible. Otherwise, he would definitely go crazy.
There was originally a total of sixty people in the quarterfinal, but both Tang Guo and Lu Qi had decided to participate at the last minute, so this round of quarterfinals had a total of sixty-two people instead. The rules of the competition were based on a point system. The ones with the highest scores would enter the finals, and ultimately, only twenty people would advance to the final round.
Lu Qi was number sixty-one, and Tang Guo was number sixty-two.
Lu Qi was beautiful—breathtakingly beautiful. And she had a handsome boyfriend like Leng Ziyue accompanying her. Furthermore, she had a voice that was so pleasing to the ears that most of the contestants saw her as a rival.
As for Tang Guo, though she seemed high-profile, right from the start, she was always sitting alone in a corner, and in a leisurely, comfortable manner too, which made people less wary of her and less guarded.
After listening to the voices of sixty singers with techniques of varying standards, the three instructors could almost feel calluses forming in their ears.
So, when it was Lu Qi's turn to go on stage, they weren't all that interested.
But the moment Lu Qi opened her mouth to sing, the three instructors instantly sprang to life.
