159 Congratulations! Welcome to X-dynasty (2/2)

The woman paused for a while then continued,

”If you weren't selected, I wish you greener pastures and like I said you'll be handsomely compensated. Good morning and have a great day! ”

With that, she smiled and left the hall with her assistant racing after her.

The hall instantly became rowdy as the happy ones screamed for joy. The sad ones remained on their seats as their friends consoled them.

Xin Yong turned to look at Liling, speechless. She really didn't expect that to happen. It came as a shock_ a great shock.

Liling was not moving, she just sat there staring into space. At that moment, she felt like dipping herself into a drum of cold water and letting herself freeze to death.

”Liling... ”

Xin Yong whispered sadly. She could feel her friend's pain.

Realization starting dawning on Liling.

She just realized that had less than twelve months to stay with Liu Wei, so when her contract was over and she leaves his home where would she go to without a job?

Her father had disowned her, her mom was dead, she had nobody. This was her only hope! her only hope of survival, she had put in it her all, her everything! she tried her best, she really did!

Liling couldn't stop the tears that fought their way through her eyelids anymore. Right now, she needed to cry.

”I'm finished!”

That was all Xin Yong could hear her say. She kept on repeating it as tears flowed from her eyes.

”Liling, something must have gone wrong somewhere, it's not possible, you were the best of us all, it's not possible, they must have omitted your name, it's just not possible!...”

Xin Yong drew closer and hugged her friend tight as tears flowed from her own eyes. At that moment, she wished she could switch places, Liling was way gifted and talented than her, such talent could not go to waste, if it was possible, she would let Liling take her place.

The hall became scantier as people trooped out in pairs. The two friends sat hugging each other and crying in their arms.

After a while, when they sensed that the hall was almost empty, they stopped hugging and wiped away their tears.

”We should tell Liu Wei... ”

Xin Yong said as they stood up from their seats.

”No, maybe I'm just not good enough, maybe that's how it was meant to be... ”

”What are you saying? How it was meant to be? How can you...”

”Tsk tsk tsk, I never knew you could cry this much. Liling...”

They were interrupted by a very familiar voice. Very familiar that they could not mistake it for another!

The two friends turned to see Richen walking towards them with hands crossed infront of her and an amused smile on her lips.

”I mean, I've been sitting there for almost an hour, but you guys were still crying. Come on, you could win a Grammy for it!”

Xin Yong felt like pulling out that miserable tongue she used to speak. She felt her anger rising up and she immediately took Liling by the hand and decided to walk away, ignoring the devil.

”Not so fast my lovely friends, don't you want to know why the best of us all was not selected? ”
