After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 She Dared to Leave

Looking at Luo Xiaoqian’s slightly red eyes, Xu Xia furrowed her brows in confusion, ”Didn’t make it? Impossible, at Golden Palace, you were the best singer. If you ask me, you were even better than the big names. How could you possibly not make it? I’m going to ask them about it...”

”Xiao Xia!” Luo Xiaoqian grabbed her arm, ”I made it. It’s just, I got too absorbed in singing just now and couldn’t quite adjust my emotions!”

”I knew it, it was impossible for you not to pass!” Xu Xia immediately turned anger into joy, ”Come on, let’s find a place to celebrate. I’ll go find Chen Chao, we’ll treat him to a good meal!”

”The two of you go ahead, I won’t join.” Luo Xiaoqian said somewhat sheepishly, pulling Xu Xia to the side, ”Xiao Xia, could you lend me a hundred yuan?”

Her wallet and all her belongings had been confiscated by that man, and now, even though she was wearing designer clothing, she was penniless. Not to mention anything else, she didn’t even have the fare to get home.

Xu Xia pulled out her wallet and casually plucked out three hundred-yuan bills to hand to her, ”If it’s not enough, just tell me!”

”I’ll pay you back later!” Luo Xiaoqian smiled gratefully at her and embraced her, then bid farewell to Xu Xia and walked out of the hotel lobby.

After buying a bottle of water at a nearby convenience store to break the large bill, she didn’t call a taxi but instead walked into the subway station.

Most of the three hundred thousand yuan she got from selling her house had already been used to pay off the debts her mother accrued when she was sick. Even so, it wasn’t completely paid off yet. Besides rent, the remaining money was nearly spent on buying a cell phone and camera; her bank card, ID card, and money were all in her wallet, and her wallet was still in Leng Zimo’s hands.

There were still over ten days until the bar paid out salaries, and she had to make this three hundred yuan last.

What she was most grateful for right now was that Xu Xia had helped her prepare a copy of her ID card in advance, otherwise she might have even had trouble registering for today’s event.

After getting off the subway and picking up a few packs of instant noodles and pickles at the supermarket outside the neighborhood, Luo Xiaoqian quickly returned to her rented house.

After putting down her things, the first thing she did was rush into the bathroom.

Undoing the buttons on her blouse and seeing the rose-colored kiss marks flowering all over her body in the mirror, she couldn’t help but bite her lip.

Her chastity of over twenty years, she had been prepared to give it all to Lu Hao this one time.

But she never expected this outcome.

Turning on the faucet, she closed her eyes and stood under the showerhead.

It’s just as well. That bastard Lu Hao doesn’t deserve her!

...

...

Empire Building.

Leng Zimo motioned his assistant and bodyguards to wait outside as he entered the room alone.

The living room, empty.

The bedroom, empty.

...

That woman, she had left!

She dared to leave?

Leng Zimo’s eyebrows rose ever so slightly.

There was a soft knock on the door.

He went back to the living room, ”Come in!”

The door opened and his female assistant Ailin walked in.

”President Leng, today’s auditions concluded smoothly. There were thirteen thousand six hundred applicants in Beijing alone, five percent more than anticipated. The fifty-six selected for the next round have had all their documents and video material sorted.”

With a light hum, Leng Zimo strode into the study, and Ailin took out a laptop from her bag, turned on the projector, and projected the videos from the computer onto the wall.

”All the video footage is in here; this is the registration form of the selected contestants!”

”Coffee!”

Leng Zimo’s voice was soft.

Ailin responded and walked into the kitchen.

As the video played, the first contestant to appear was a long-haired young man. Leng Zimo only listened to him sing three words before he fast-forwarded to the next one.
