The Strong Beauty is a Goddess in Showbiz

Chapter 82: It’s Because of My Debtholder

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

Once the Newcomer Competition was over, the last 4 contestants of each category would be disqualified from the show.

Many of the contestants did not expect today to be their only chance to perform on stage.

The players who were able to stay were not that happy either because they knew that they might be the next to be disqualified.

At that time, the stream was still ongoing, so the audience could see the true reactions of the contestants who were leaving.

‘To be honest, it makes me want to cry.’

‘That’s the cruelty of talent shows. There’s always someone leaving. Only the best can stay.’

‘I hope they don’t get stuck on their failure and find a path forward.’ After the competition ended, Song Qi had some somewhat good news to announce.

“Congratulations to the contestants who stayed. We will not continue with the next stage of the competition in the next episode. The production team will assign you a mission that will affect the order you’ll be choosing your song or performance for the next stage.”

The contestants were happy when they heard the first half of the speech, but when they heard that the completion rate of the mission would affect their ability to choose their next performance, their faces fell.

“How can we relax now? He is obviously changing things up to keep us on our toes.”

The contestants muttered among themselves.

However, relaxation time was always good. After a night of intense stress, the contestants could finally have a good night’s rest.

Jiang Xuxu pulled out her deck of cards again.

She skillfully dealt the cards and looked at the other three before casually saying, “Why are you looking at me? Take your cards!” Qi Wu blinked and picked up her hand of cards.

She knew how to play now.

Seeing that, Tong Luo and Ke Lu looked at each other and helplessly joined the game.

Jiang Xuxu started chatting during the game. “The person in charge of Dream

Fantasy came all the way here. Really? Wow, Chang Xun is quite good.”

Once she started talking, she would not stop. Upon noticing Qi Wu was staring at the cards in her hand, she continued, “When I saw Chang Xun drop you off, I knew this day would come! You’re so amazing. He should be honored to be your manager!”

However, Qi Wu immediately played her card before looking up to refute Jiang

Xuxu’s comment. “It wasn’t because of Chang Xun.”

As Jiang Xuxu stared in confusion, Qi Wu slowly said, “It’s because of my debtholder. ”

Before Jiang Xuxu could react, Tong Luo had already started coughing.

She kept coughing and coughing loudly to interrupt everyone.

She had not expected Qi Wu to just blurt it out like that!

Fortunately, the camera was not recording tonight. Otherwise, Qi Wu would be doomed once this conversation was aired.

Ke Lu noticed something was off and calmly glanced at Tong Luo.

Jiang Xuxu was stunned when she heard Qi Wu’s answer.

She remembered that Qi Wu’s family had fallen from grace…A debtholder? Had her heartless parents sold her off to…

Jiang Xuxu did not want to think about it anymore. Anger surged in her.

Her fury burned bright when she looked at Qi Wu’s calm and composed face. How much pain did Qi Wu have to go through before she could master this blank look of tranquility?

She finally could not hold it in any longer and slammed her hands on the table as she shot to her feet. “Darn it!”

The other three women looked up at her.

Qi Wu quietly looked at Jiang Xuxu’s hands on the table and solemnly asked,

“Xuxu, don’t your hands hurt?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xuxu immediately raised her hands and blew on them in pain. “It hurts so much.” Tong Luo and Ke Lu were speechless.

Was this a comedy skit?

Jiang Xuxu blew on her hands a few more times before seriously saying to Qi

Wu, “It’s okay. You still have us.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Tong Luo and Ke Lu. “No matter what kind of person she is, we will always stand behind her, right?”

Tong Luo, who knew some of the truth, was at a loss for words.

She felt that Jiang Xuxu had made the wrong guess, but it was a reasonable guess.

Thus, she nodded. “Yes.”

Ke Lu, who did not understand what was going on but had made an educated guess based on their reactions, nodded as well. Qi Wu tilted her head and looked at them in confusion.

“What is going on with you guys?”

Jiang Xuxu was overwhelmed with sorrow for Qi Wu’s situation.

She thought that Qi Wu was forced to enter the industry because her family was in financial trouble. She had not expected that Qi Wu had been forced into something worse before this.

“Sweetie, is your debtholder good to you?”

She was very careful as she asked that, afraid that she would trigger something.

Seeing that Jiang Xuxu was bold enough to directly ask, Tong Luo and Ke Lu remained silent as they turned to look at Qi Wu.

They were all quietly waiting for Qi Wu’s answer.

“He’s great. He gives me a place to live, cooks for me, and even buys me lemon drops,” Qi Wu calmly replied.

She then added with a smile, “He’s the best debtholder ever.”

Emotions warred within the other three when they heard that.

How was this man a debtholder? No man would be this nice to their girlfriend, let alone anyone else.

However, looking at Qi Wu’s face, Jiang Xuxu misunderstood the situation and thought Qi Wu was just in love.

Wary, she immediately interrupted, “That won’t do, Sweetie!”

“How can you be satisfied so easily?” she asked with a pained expression. Even if you owe him…forget it. Still, you have to take what you want when it’s time!

You can’t mistreat yourself, understand?”

Qi Wu’s eyes widened slightly. “How did you know that I owe him a lot of money?”

Then, she recalled that Chang Xun had said that she might not be able to support Jin Si with her salary. She slumped in dejection. “I still have to earn a lot more money to be able to support him.”

None of them were on the same wavelength at all. Despite that, they were somehow able to communicate without hassle.

This time, before Jiang Xuxu could get angry, Tong Luo was the first to speak up in anger.

“Scumbag! Is he toying with you? Does he think you’re just a tool to be used for money?”

She had a slight change of opinion about Qi Wu’s sugar daddy because of Dream Fantasy, but now it seemed like that was just nonsense!

Even the taciturn Ke Lu decided to chime in.

“Lovestruck is bad.”

“Yes. Yes!” Jiang Xuxu quickly nodded. “Your career is the most important thing of all! As long as you have a career and pay off your debts, you won’t have to worry about him controlling you!”

Tong Luo solemnly nodded. “I won’t let anyone hinder your career!” Not even herself would be allowed to do so.

Their sudden declarations had Qi Wu blinking in confusion. “I think you misunderstood something.”

Jiang Xuxu and Tong Luo immediately shook their heads as they said in unison, “Nope! We’re serious!”

Even Ke Lu nodded in agreement.

“Okay…”

Thus, a beautiful misunderstanding was born..
