Mystery of Time Cafe.
Zhang Mei, who has not been seen for a long time, appears here.
"Have Luo Xiaoxi noticed you?" she asked the girl sitting opposite.
Li Yingyuan was a little nervous, holding the sofa chair tightly with both hands, "No, she never noticed me. It seems... she believed that her high heels broke in the first game just as an accident."
"He seems to be a very smart person, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid." Zhang Mei lit a cigarette, with disdain written all over her delicate and beautiful face.
"You... what's your promise to me?" Li Yingyuan looked at Zhang Mei, "I promised to help you tamper with Luo Xiaoxi's high heels on the condition that you help me win the championship. You can't keep your word, right?"
"Don't worry." Zhang Mei swallowed the clouds gracefully, "I am planning step by step. Luo Xiaoxi will soon be ruined. I will say hello to the TV station again, and the championship will definitely be yours."
The fledgling Li Yingyuan gradually realized that she was working with an extremely terrifying woman.
But she has made a deal with the devil, and she can't stop just by saying stop.
On Friday, the sixth elimination round of "Next Top Model" came as scheduled.
The current situation is very clear. Half of the championship trophy is already in Luo Xiaoxi's hands, and the others can only grab the first and second place. Naturally, she has become the target of everyone's secret ostracism and overt flattery.
"Xiao Xi, if you keep up this momentum, you will definitely become famous!" A participating model said half teasingly and half seriously, "In the future, don't forget us sisters."
Luo Xiaoxi couldn't remember when she became sisters with them, but who couldn't do superficial things
"It's too early to say it will become a big success." Her modesty was just right, neither humble nor arrogant, but she maintained her natural pride. "If anything good happens in the future, let's take care of each other."
"Hey, Li Yingyuan!" Someone noticed Li Yingyuan walking in on 15cm high heels, "Come here, come here, we are chatting."
Luo Xiaoxi was surrounded by a group of models with exquisite makeup and glanced at Li Yingyuan.
She didn't forget the dirty tricks this girl had done to her.
Just looking at it this way, she really doesn't look like that kind of person.
Li Yingyuan didn't know if she had an illusion. She always felt that Luo Xiaoxi's glance just now... seemed to see through her. She couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she walked away with the excuse of touching up her makeup.
The live broadcast started soon, and now only the top six have been eliminated. One more person will be eliminated tonight. Every contestant is sitting upright, fearing that bad luck will befall them.
After the show, Luo Xiaoxi made a call, "Send you a photo, and you can investigate for me who this girl has been in contact with recently, especially people I know."
Luo Xiaoxi has lived for more than twenty years and has friends all over the world, but she also has many enemies.
Before the first competition, she and Li Yingyuan were strangers to each other, and they didn't know each other's strength. It was really suspicious that Li Yingyuan had a dirty trick on her.
So she had long suspected that Li Yingyuan was being instigated by others.
She has many "enemies". If, as she expected, she wants to find out the mastermind, she will have to use her strong network of connections.
After the other contestants finished their shows and interviews, the program announced the results of tonight's competition as usual.
Without any suspense, Luo Xiaoxi won the first place again. The cheers from the audience almost lifted the roof of the studio. Congratulations rushed towards Luo Xiaoxi like a tide. Luo Xiaoxi handled it with ease and grace. Quite the demeanor of a champion.
After it was over, Luo Xiaoxi changed back into her own clothes and left the TV station in Candy's car.
The car drove to the same intersection as last time and was blocked again.
But this time, Candy had seen too many ghosts and was no longer afraid, so she directly motioned to Luo Xiaoxi, "Get out of the car."
Luo Xiaoxi looked in disbelief, "As my manager, you just abandoned me like this?"
"Haha..." Candy pulled off Luo Xiaoxi's seat belt, "Compared with your life and mine, I think my life is more important!"
Luo Xiaoxi looked out the car window with a bad premonition, and sure enough, Su Yicheng was already standing there.
"Coward!" She pretended to be dissatisfied and got out of the car, turning around to see Su Yicheng's smiling face again, "I won first place again. As my boyfriend, shouldn't you help me celebrate?"
"Go home first." Su Yicheng opened the car door, pushed Luo Xiaoxi up, fastened her seat belt, and leaned dangerously close to her, "When you get home, you can celebrate however you want."
"..." Luo Xiaoxi smiled dryly, unable to feel happy no matter what.
Su Yicheng closed the door and walked back to the driver's seat. The two headlights of the car shone farther, and the car disappeared under the overpass in a short while.
They didn't notice the long lens pointed at them.
"Tsk, tsk, Su Yicheng gets along quite harmoniously with this woman." The old entertainment reporter put away the camera and put out the cigarette, "Do you think they are in a relationship?"
"No matter what they are talking about." Another entertainment reporter said, "After the report came out, it was written that this was an unknown body trade. Didn't the person who broke the news say that she wanted Luo Xiaoxi to be ruined? , we want to make a hot topic, which will satisfy both parties."
"Then when will we report it? Such big news has been suppressed for a long time. I feel very itchy. The person who broke the news..."
Before the old entertainment reporter finished speaking, his partner's cell phone rang. His partner looked at the number, motioned for him to shut up, and then answered the call.
The person on the other end of the phone only said: "The game is almost over, it's time for you to let the news out."
As soon as the last note fell, the call was hung up.
…
the next day.
Luo Xiaoxi was ordered to rest for the day today. She let herself sleep peacefully, but the ringing of the phone interrupted her sweet dream.
She glanced at Su Yicheng beside her and saw that he was still sleeping soundly. She quickly turned off the ringtone of the incoming call and quietly slipped to the balcony of the living room to answer the phone.
"Xiao Xi Xiao Xi!" The call came from the buddy she asked to investigate Li Yingyuan yesterday. "Guess what I found! There will be a prize for guessing correctly."
Luo Xiaoxi rubbed her groggy eyes, "You found out that your family has a gold mine and are you going to give me half of it?"
"...I discovered Zhang Mei! The Zhang Mei who robbed Su Yicheng from you!"
Luo Xiaoxi's hand movements paused, and her sleepiness was instantly driven away, "What did you find out?"
"Zhang Mei and Li Yingyuan know each other! But they have only met twice in total, once a few days before the preliminary round of "Supermodel Contest", and the second time a few days ago. The time of their first meeting is so coincidental, can they What makes you suspicious?"
In the flash of lightning, the unsolvable mysteries in Luo Xiaoxi's mind were solved one by one.
She once thought that she and Li Yingyuan were strangers and had no grievances, and that Li Yingyuan had no reason to target her.
But if Li Yingyuan and Zhang Mei knew each other, all this would make sense.
The real mastermind may be Zhang Mei.
In a daze, Luo Xiaoxi was suddenly surrounded by someone from behind, and Su Yicheng's warm breath fell on her neck, "Whose call is it so early?"
"It belongs to a friend." Luo Xiaoxi hung up the phone, turned around, and looked hesitantly at the man in front of her who was still so handsome in pajamas that people couldn't take their eyes off, "Su Yicheng..."
"Huh?" Su Yicheng stared at Luo Xiaoxi, his mind obviously not on the conversation with her.
"Have you had any contact with Zhang Mei recently?"
Su Yicheng's eyes were startled, and half of his charming thoughts suddenly disappeared. "Why did you suddenly ask her?" She found out that he went to see Zhang Mei that day
"It's nothing, I just... suddenly thought of such a person." Luo Xiaoxi pretended to ask casually, "Why did she leave your company?"
She was wondering whether Su Yicheng fired Zhang Mei and Zhang Mei had a grudge, so she took revenge on her.
Everyone had their own concerns, Luo Xiaoxi missed the fleeting hesitation in Su Yicheng's eyes.
"I told her that there was no possibility for me and her, and she resigned within two days." Su Yicheng changed the subject, "Did you suddenly remember Zhang Mei, or were you suddenly jealous?"
Luo Xiaoxi made a sound and walked to the bathroom with great disdain, "I don't take Zhang Mei seriously at all!"
She was jealous because of Zhang Mei. The price was too low, so she refused!
But according to what Su Yicheng said, she was probably right in guessing that Zhang Mei was taking revenge on her.
what to do
Did she tear up Zhang Mei with her own hands, or leave it to Su Yicheng to handle
Behind her, Su Yicheng's eyes were gradually darkening.
The moment the bathroom door closed, Su Yicheng went back to the bedroom and dialed Xiao Chen's phone number, asking Xiao Chen to confirm whether Luo Xiaoxi had begun to suspect Zhang Mei.
He knew Luo Xiaoxi's personality of forgetting things once they happened, so there was no way she would suddenly remember Zhang Mei at this time.
She must have discovered something.
Luo Xiaoxi came out after washing up and pushed Su Yicheng in, "I'll help you prepare clothes!"
Normally, she would be lazy in whatever Su Yicheng asked her to do, but she had always maintained great enthusiasm when it came to matching Su Yicheng's clothes.
Isn't there a saying that a man's appearance is matched from head to toe by himself? It feels like he is his own from head to toe.
Su Yicheng changed his clothes and came out. Luo Xiaoxi smiled very satisfied, "I want to eat ramen!"
Su Yicheng put on an apron, took out the semi-dry ramen noodles from the refrigerator, prepared the soup and side dishes and started cooking.
His appearance in the kitchen was very similar to how he was working, decisive and quick. In a short while, two bowls of ramen were made, with fragrant soup, thin noodles, rich beef, and green onions sprinkled on top. With coriander on it, it will make people move their index fingers.
"Su Yicheng, if my dad refuses to agree to our being together, you can cook and conquer him!" Luo Xiaoxi couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup, closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and her speech slowed down, "My dad said However, what he admires the most is a man who has a prosperous career and is also handy in the kitchen!"
Su Yicheng fried another egg and gave one to Luo Xiaoxi, "My cooking skills are only intended to conquer you."
Luo Xiaoxi took a bite of noodles and said, "I can sing "Conquer" to you right now!"
Su Yicheng: "..."
"But seriously -" Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng, "I checked with my dad. The chance of him agreeing to date us is very small. What are you going to do?"
"Your dad still wants you to marry Qin Wei?" Su Yicheng asked calmly.
Luo Xiaoxi was stunned, losing confidence in front of Su Yicheng for the first time, and nodded weakly.
Su Yicheng's reaction was beyond her expectation.
"Don't worry." Su Yicheng smiled, "Your father will never mention Qin Wei to you again soon."
"So powerful?" Luo Xiaoxi couldn't believe it, "What are you going to do? Kill Qin Wei?"
"Violent and bloody things are not suitable for me." Su Yicheng smiled mysteriously, "Wait." (To be continued)
