C1 The Hidden Rules Determine Everything

"Weaving Gold Room" — — Star hotel with the highest River City.

Leh Luorann stood outside the golden door. Inside, her clothes were flowing with fragrance and resplendent noises. Outside, the twilight was heavy. The mottled light constantly reflected on her lonely figure.

The door was pushed open by the waiter.

A tall woman with beautiful makeup arrogantly walked out, surrounded by eight other people.

In the next second, Leh Luorann blocked his way.

The smile on the woman's face instantly vanished, turning into a bone-chilling indifference.

"Leh Luorann!" You have already been eliminated, this is a foregone conclusion that cannot be changed, wasn't what I said to you previously clear enough?! "

Leh Luorann stubbornly looked at the woman, "My total number of votes for the audience ranks first. I shouldn't be the one to be eliminated."

"Everyone has seen your performance. I also approve of your strength, but it's not entirely based on your strength that you have to stand up for yourself in this circle." Qin Weijie laughed sarcastically as he showed off the beige LV bag on his arm.

"Leh Luorann, I might as well tell you this. According to the rules, you should be promoted from the first place spot. However, there's someone from the backstage who wants you out."

Leh Luorann's fingertips trembled.

His gaze swept across the eight complacent faces that surrounded Qin Weijie.

They were Qin Weijie's final "Top 8". She should be participating in tonight's celebratory feast as one of the top eight teams, and not be locked outside the golden gate.

She took a deep breath. "Is this contestant a woman?"

"Hm ~"

Qin Weijie whispered a name into her ear with his red lips.

Bai Qingwan —

It really was her!

This was clearly the expected result. However, the moment she heard this name, it was as if a heartless hand had torn the wound in her heart that had never healed. Those unbearable memories hysterically surged out, causing her entire body to tremble.

"Don't be naive, Leh Luorann. Everyone wants to make a name for themselves with this talent show, the rules are just a cover for others to see, the decisions are all hidden rules. I have the final say in who is going to advance, I will eliminate you in violation of the rules, what can you do?"

"Leh Luorann, a small figure like you who doesn't have a backer should never be able to make a name for yourself. Go home and have your dreams."

Qin Weijie laughed mockingly.

Bai Qingwan, who was behind Qin Weijie, looked at her innocently.

Who would have thought that it was this' innocent 'woman who used her to climb onto her boyfriend's bed three years ago? She was also the one who kicked her out now …

"You're wrong. I didn't join this show to make a name for myself."

Opening her trembling lips, the disappointment in Leh Luorann's eyes turned into determination.

"I'll definitely come back. Just you wait."

"Heh, just wait and see. I'd like to see what a girl without a backer can do." Qin Weijie looked at her sarcastically.

She did not return, and only indifferently turned around and left.

In the night, the River City was bustling and bustling, the light and shadows bright and dazzling, and Leh Luorann walked alone on the bustling street.

A group of bystanders caught her attention.

A child in a black suit was walking on the road in a daze. Car shadows flew beside him, which could crush him under the car at any time. However, he didn't know fear. His eyes were wide open as he wandered around the road in a daze …

The passers-by chattered and pointed, but no one dared to go and save them.

Seeing this scene, Leh Luorann didn't hesitate to charge into the driveway.

A black car crashed into him, and she pulled him into her arms just in time. The car drove right past her.

"..."

Only then did the child realize that he was scared. He pursed his lips that were like rose petals and wrapped his arms around Leh Luorann's neck, looking at her resentfully.

This was the first time Leh Luorann's gaze landed on his face, and her gaze was instantly captivated.

What a cute cute kid!

Her fair skin was healthy and rosy, and her facial features were extremely beautiful. One could foresee that when he grew up, he would definitely be a peerless handsome man.

The moment she saw this cute kid, traces of happiness spawned in her heart for no reason at all. It was as if there was some kind of invisible force that dragged them down …

Leh Luorann couldn't help but pinch cute kid's delicate face. "Little friend, don't be afraid, this auntie will carry you to a safe zone."

cute kid stared at Leh Luorann with her crystal clear eyes and did not say a word.

Just as she was about to leave, a strong wave of dizziness hit her. Cold sweat broke out on her hands and all the strength in her body seemed to have been sucked out.

Damn it!

Why did he suddenly become sick at this moment?

She took a deep breath in and forced herself to carry cute kid to a safe zone. She lost all feeling before she could put the child down …

~ ~

Leh Luorann opened her heavy eyelids. Her forehead was slightly aching and a young and cute face vaguely appeared in her mind.

He vaguely remembered that he had fainted during the process of saving her. What happened after she fainted? Where is the cute kid she saved? Is he okay?

However, before he could figure out what had happened, he was caught by an unfamiliar man —

He silently sat by the sickbed, his upright posture without a trace of curvature, his face like jade, his facial features like a painting, like a peerless beautiful man in a painting of ink.

Was there really such a good-looking man in the world?

She was stunned.

The man didn't even blink as he looked at her face.

"We've met before?"

The magnetic voice was so melodious and reserved, it seemed to shake her soul.

She could not help but stammer, "No... "No way..." Any man as handsome as he was would have had a photographic memory when he saw a girl.

A trace of unfathomability flashed through the man's eyes.

"So, your offer?"

A check floated over her.

Leh Luorann was obviously startled.

Her offer?

Is she a commodity?

"Er ~ You saved my young master. My master wants to thank you. You can fill in this cheque however you want, and let go of your imagination. You can fill in whatever you want, as much as you want." The one who spoke was a young boy that stood beside the man. He was around eighteen to nineteen years old with a dazzling red hair and two oversized golden earrings.

Leh Luorann finally understood.

The memory of saving someone before losing consciousness flooded her mind.

Once again, he looked at the handsome face beside the sickbed. Wasn't this face the enlarged version of cute kid that she saved?

When she saved cute kid on the road, she had thought that the cute kid would definitely grow up to be an exceptionally handsome guy. She never thought that there would actually be such a face in this world …

"This mister must be the father of that cute kid …" She didn't dare to look directly at a man who was too handsome.

"I didn't save him for the money, so there's no need."

He picked up the cheque between his slender fingers and handed it back to the man.

She just did what she had to do. It would be against her conscience to take money.

However, he didn't accept it. Instead, he stared at her face without blinking an eye.

She felt that his deep gaze was like an impenetrable net, firmly binding her, as if she could not escape no matter what.
