BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 - 60: Good for Qi Wu To Be Vicious
Even after Tong Luo’s class ended, Jiang Yiran still did not know the answer to the question.
After lunch, the group dispersed.
Qi Wu and Tong Luo had just walked into the villa when they saw Yin Yueyue sitting on the couch in the living room.
Ever since Yin Yueyue had been humiliated, she rarely showed up before them. After Yao Ning was expelled from the competition, Yin Yueyue’s appearances were practically none.
When Yin Yueyue noticed their return, she immediately turned to look at them.
Tong Luo glanced at Qi Wu. She immediately relaxed upon seeing no reaction from Qi Wu.
Yin Yueyue stood up and walked over to them. Seeing Tong Luo’s wary gaze, she stopped in her tracks.
“I mean no harm,” she awkwardly explained.
“What do you want to say?”
Tong Luo’s tone did not soften just because of that statement.
She still wore her thorny armor when around others, only showing her soft side to Qi Wu.
Yin Yueyue’s gaze shifted to Qi Wu, and she finally mustered up the courage to say, “Tong Fei is after you. Yao Ning was kicked out because of her!” When Qi Wu and Tong Luo did not react to that, Yin Yueyue panicked.
“I’m telling the truth! I’m only telling you this because I don’t want to be Tong Fei’s puppet!”
“You just want to use us to get rid of Tong Fei so that she won’t threaten you.” Tong Luo knew why Yin Yueyue was suddenly confessing within seconds of that statement.
Yin Yueyue’s face turned pale as her true intentions were exposed, but she still tried to talk her way around them, saying, “I-I’m doing this for your own good. Her primary target is Qi Wu!”
“We don’t need your unnecessary help.”
After coldly saying that, Tong Luo grabbed Qi Wu’s hand and headed upstairs.
Qi Wu had just stepped onto the stairs when she suddenly turned around to look at Yin Yueyue. “Rather than pinning your hopes on others, it’s better to save yourself.”
Yin Yueyue stared at the two of them as they went upstairs. When she thought about what Qi Wu said, she hurriedly and silently left the villa.
After returning to their room, Tong Luo immediately started explaining her logic to Qi Wu.
“I know Tong Fei won’t let it go, but Yin Yueyue’s confession is so sudden that it’s hard to guarantee that she wasn’t doing this under Tong Fei’s orders so that we would panic…”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t take it to heart,” Qi Wu interrupted.
Tong Luo’s anxious frown slowly faded away when she heard that. She was afraid that there was a conspiracy behind Yin Yueyue’s sudden change of heart.
“However, according to Tong Fei’s way of doing things, she would never be capable of doing that,” Qi Wu solemnly stated.
Tong Luo was at a loss for words.
Was Qi Wu saying Tong Fei was dumb?
How could Qi Wu say something so sassy and hurtful with that calm face?
Still, the comment made Tong Luo feel much more at ease.
It was good for Qi Wu to be vicious. At the very least, she was not an easy target for bullies.
In a corner free from any surveillance cameras, Tong Fei was on the phone with the Tong family.
“Dad, are you sure? I don’t believe it!” she abruptly exclaimed in an agitated manner.
“Qi Wu is really just an ordinary person. She doesn’t have anyone backing her. Just luck,” her father replied.
Naturally, Tong Fei could not accept that.
Hatred flashed in her eyes as she bit her lips.
After a while, a thought seemed to have struck Tong Fei as she suddenly said,
“Dad, since she’s clean, we can just create some problems for her.”
Tong Fei smugly grinned. “We’ll deal with her the same way we dealt with Tong Luo in the past. You haven’t forgotten how, right?”
There was silence as her father did not respond.
Tong Fei was so anxious that she sounded frantic as she said, “Dad, you said that I can do whatever I want! If you hadn’t sent me to the countryside, Tong
Luo would not have taken my place for years!”
Tong Fei’s words finally pushed him to respond.
He sighed. “Once Qi Wu is dealt with, you should behave yourself on the show. If Song Qi catches you red-handed, I won’t be able to save you anymore.”
Tong Fei happily smiled upon hearing the agreement.
“You’re the best, Dad! For Qi Wu, we can…
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She did not hold back at all, spitting out ideas even more sinister than the last. She was a devil in disguise, finally showing her true self in a corner where no one could see her.
At this moment, a faint light flashed around the corner.
Yin Yueyue saved the recording. Then, she glanced at Tong Fei who was still happily chattering away. Too scared to stay any longer, she quickly left.
Panic and fear were written all over her face.
The adrenaline and anxiety caused her feet to feel weak. She stumbled as her hands were drenched in cold sweat.
She gripped her phone tightly. Even so, she was more excited than afraid. Now that she had something to blackmail Tong Fei with, she did not need to be afraid!
However, when Yin Yueyue thought of Tong Fei’s vicious face, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Like a popped bubble, her excitement faded away as she abruptly calmed down.
Could she really threaten Tong Fei?
She was so vicious to Qi Wu, so why would she ever be nicer to Yin Yueyue when she had blackmail on her?
Yin Yueyue slowly relaxed her grip on the phone and silently slid it into her bag.
She was reminded of Qi Wu’s statement.
It seemed like…this was destined to happen.
The night before the selection day, no classes were held. The three mentors stood in the hall, facing 100 contestants.
Song Qi’s serious gaze swept across the contestants. When he saw Qi Wu, he started to get angry again.
Qi Wu really did it!
She did not attend any of his classes!
Was he that bad?
Song Qi, who was feeling extremely upset, decided to make Qi Wu regret that decision.
He cleared his throat, attracting the contestants’ attention. He then slowly said, “Tomorrow is the day.”
“The leaderboard displayed on the screen behind us shows the order in which you will make your choice tomorrow.”
100 contestants might not seem like a lot, but when all of their names appeared on the screen together, something felt different.
That was because they suddenly realized just the further down the list they were, the slimmer their hopes.
“Don’t relax even if you pass the last 2 weeks because you will only experience just how harsh the contest is after we properly get into the swing of things.”
“Most of you will be leaving in the next few episodes until there are only three people in the end.”
When Song Qi announced that, the contestants suddenly broke into chatter.
This was a talent show, and there were only a few spots. They had to give their all if they wanted the spot..
