Chapter 1498: Great to Have You (58)

Long Xiaoxi packed her luggage and headed to the modeling contest venue.

All the candidates were present, and there were more than ten of them, all of whom had to squeeze into a tiny room. Long Xiaoxi used a stage name when she signed up for the competition. Hence, no one would know her true identity since she was now known as Xuan Yin. She avoided luxury clothing and instead dressed in simple clothes from mainstream labels.

It was wintertime and, hence, they could stay warm while squeezing in the same room.

The rest of the contestants all had a pretty face to go along with their tall and slender figures. Needless to say, those were the qualities that allowed them the chance to land themselves a spot in the contest, especially since the contest was a live program that would be broadcast on television.

They gathered together to chat and gossip. However, Long Xiaoxi did not join in the conversation and instead listened quietly.

“I heard that they’ve already decided who the top three contestants are going to be and that those three all come from wealthy and powerful families, so we’d better not carry any hope for being the top three. It’d be good enough to get into the top ten.”

“Yeah, I heard about it too. I’m so envious of those who were born into wealthy and powerful families. What can we do even if we’re indignant and find it unfair?”

“Yeah, I even heard that the daughter of the municipal secretary has joined the contest.”

Everyone looked at the contestant and asked, “What’s her name?”

“Wen Yuechan.”

Long Xiaoxi was shocked to hear that name again after so many years. “I beg your pardon?”

“Wen Yuechan.”

Long Xiaoxi had a deep impression of Wen Yuechan, and she remembered her very clearly. I don’t remember her father being a political figure, she thought.

Why has she become the daughter of the municipal secretary?

“Is she his biological daughter?”

“How could that be? Don’t you read the news at all? Her mother married the municipal secretary. Although she’s only his stepdaughter, she’s still his daughter at the end of the day. That’s it. There are so many contestants, there’s no hope for us.”

Long Xiaoxi did not expect that at all. Wen Yuechan’s mother is a real piece of work. She was put behind bars for trying to kill me back then, and yet she actually married the municipal secretary. 

She scurried toward the bathroom to call her mother. “She was initially sentenced to ten years of jail but it was said that she was released early because of her good behavior. However, I don’t believe that. I heard from your father that she was only allowed an early release because Wen Yuechan slept with many men and thought of ways to get her mother out of jail.”

“…”

Long Xiaoxi felt that Wen Yuechan was extremely pathetic.

However, everyone was destined to live a different life. In today’s society, some people are willing to be whores, some are willing to be foul-mouthed, and there were also some who are willing to be upright and stay true to their morals.

You cannot expect everyone to be an upright person. After all, there are all sorts of people in this world.

Having encountered many different types of people, she had already gotten used to humanity.

Shortly after, it was their turn to audition.

Due to the fact that it was an open audition, they did not have to wear any costumes. All they had to do was perform a catwalk in front of the judges.

After the audition, hundreds of contestants were eliminated.

Long Xiaoxi was the only one left in the room.

Hence, she was told to proceed to another waiting room.

There were six contestants in the room.

Long Xiaoxi entered and placed her suitcase beneath the bed, after which she sat down and started playing with her mobile phone.

Soon, the other five contestants entered the room, one of whom was plain-looking and had short hair. However, she was extremely tall and had excellent proportions. She took the bed above Long Xiaoxi’s.

Due to the fact that they were all strangers, the room was dead silent and there was no conversation at all.

A short while later, the plain-looking girl got off the bed and started introducing herself to everyone.

“Hello, everyone, my name is Wang Hulu. Please guide me along.”

A girl who had an afro said, “Hello, my name is Li Xiaoxiao. Who gave you that name? It’s so unique.”

“My parents did.”

The girl with an afro then asked Long Xiaoxi, “What’s your name?”

“Xuan Yin.”

“Is that a stage name?”

“Umm. Yes.”

“I like you. Can we be friends?” said Li Xiaoxiao, who walked toward her and extended a hand.

Long Xiaoxi was bewildered, for it was the first time that she’d encountered another girl telling her that she liked her. After all, it was a little too enthusiastic of Li Xiaoxiao to ask to be friends on their first meeting.

She shook Li Xiaoxiao’s hand and said, “Sure.”

There was no harm in being friends.

“Do you want to go out for a meal? I know of a restaurant that serves up delicious food. It’s my treat.”

Feeling famished, Long Xiaoxi stood up and grabbed her purse. She agreed with a smile, “Let’s go.”

After exiting the room, Li Xiaoxiao began holding Long Xiaoxi’s hand, giving her a great shock. She found the way that Li Xiaoxiao was smiling at her to be rather strange.

“You must be curious about why I took the initiative to befriend you. I actually know how to do face-reading and I use that ability to decide who to befriend. I can tell from your face that you’re a kind and pleasant person. That Wang Hulu is worlds apart from you. I didn’t say that just because she looks dull. In conclusion, she doesn’t have a good face. I can tell that she’s a petty and narrow-minded person who would throw a fit over every slightest thing. Besides, she likes gossiping and creating rumors, and I could tell with one glance that she’s not trustworthy at all.”

“I’ve only ever heard of fortune-telling. Is face-reading that accurate too?”

Li Xiaoxiao said confidently, “Of course it is. However, it all depends on the reader’s skills. I come from a family of face-readers, and I guess we’re experts at face-reading. However, it’s a really useful skill to have. I can tell a person’s character just by looking at their face. That saves me lots of hassle.”

Long Xiaoxi realized that she spoke at a very quick pace and was a frank and candid person as well. She was certain that Li Xiaoxiao was not a scheming person. “Do you come from this city?”

Shaking her head, Li Xiaoxiao answered, “No, I’m from B City, and I came here just for this modeling contest. How about you?”

“I’m from this city.”

“Why are you staying here, then? Isn’t it better to go home?”

Long Xiaoxi explained, “I don’t want to miss out on any important news so I felt that it’s better to stay here.”

“I think you’d make it to the top ten.”

“Why do you think so?” Long Xiaoxi asked.

“Because you exude a charming and elegant aura. I noticed you the moment I entered the room. I’m really glad to be your friend.”

“Thank you, I think you’re pretty good yourself too.”

“Hehe, I hope we can advance together.” She treated Long Xiaoxi to lunch at a restaurant. Hence, Long Xiaoxi decided to treat her to some milk tea after their meal.
