The Rich Young Master’s Ex-Girlfriend (10)

“How strange,” Tang Guo rubbed her temples as if racking her brain, then finally shook her head. “Ma’am, I don’t think we’ve met before.”

Ma’am, I don’t think we’ve met before.

That one sentence nearly made Lu Qi lose her composure.

She was indeed older than Tang Guo—Tang Guo was nineteen, while she was twenty-one, a full two years older.

“Xiao Guo, even if you hate me, Qiqi hasn’t done anything bad to you. Can’t you just speak properly?” Leng Ziyue had spent most of the previous day explaining things to Qiqi after Tang Guo’s meddling, just to calm her down.

“Xiao Guo, the reason she wants to talk to you today is to clear everything up,” Leng Ziyue couldn’t hold back anymore. “It’s all my fault. To be blunt—and I know this might hurt you—the only reason I was with you was because of Qiqi. I just saw you as her shadow. There was nothing between us. It wasn’t until Qiqi came back that I finally realized I couldn’t go on like this.”

“Besides, I’ve already given you compensation. Please don’t ruin my relationship with Qiqi anymore.”

Tang Guo yawned. “Genuine gold fears no fire. If you two are really in love, why worry about a little stumbling block like me?”

“Miss Tang, are you really going to cling on and cause trouble?” Lu Qi couldn’t hold back anymore. After seeing Tang Guo like this, she chose to believe Leng Ziyue. “I’ll give you a piece of advice—messing with someone else’s relationship never ends well.”

“You two make a perfect match,” Tang Guo said, just as Lu Qi had been preparing her counterattack. But to her surprise, Tang Guo continued, “Don’t worry, I have absolutely no interest in Leng Ziyue.”

She smiled cheerfully. “I’ve found a man who’s a hundred times better than Leng Ziyue.”

“No more time to chat—it’s almost time to go in,” Tang Guo stood up. As she passed by Leng Ziyue, she suddenly stopped, reached up, and patted his shoulder—he was much taller than her—and said in a world-weary tone, “Young man, make sure you two get along well. A relationship that hasn’t faced any trials isn’t true love. I’m rooting for you.”

Leng Ziyue’s face went stiff. The way Tang Guo had spoken just now made him feel like she was treating him like a junior.

And the thought that she was already his father’s woman made him feel as sick as if he’d swallowed a fly.

“Ziyue, I believe you. That woman has a rebellious temperament. Yesterday, she must have said those things out of spite,” Lu Qi hooked her arm through Leng Ziyue’s. “It’s about to start. Let’s go in.”

Leng Ziyue nodded stiffly, his heart hoping that his father would end his relationship with Tang Guo as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would definitely go crazy.

The semifinals were originally supposed to have sixty participants, but Tang Guo and Lu Qi had both decided to join at the very last moment. So this time, there were a total of sixty-two contestants in the semifinals. The rules followed a scoring system, with the highest scores advancing to the finals, and in the end, only twenty people would make it through.

Lu Qi was contestant number sixty-one, and Tang Guo was number sixty-two.

Lu Qi was beautiful—breathtakingly so—and she had such a handsome boyfriend as Leng Ziyue by her side. On top of that, she spoke in a gentle and pleasant manner, causing many to regard her as a formidable opponent.

As for Tang Guo, although she appeared high-profile, she always sat alone in a corner, looking relaxed and carefree, which instead made others lower their guard against her.

After listening to the first sixty contestants—whose abilities varied greatly—sing, the three mentors’ ears were practically calloused.

So when it was Lu Qi’s turn to take the stage, they all seemed rather unenthusiastic.

But the moment Lu Qi opened her mouth to sing, the three mentors perked up instantly.
