Born As a Model
Chapter 23 - Investigating Someone



Five days had passed since the party, and during these days, the production team did not allow contestants to rest and organize full courses and training every day.


Now, everyone is used to walking on the red runway and taking photos.


Soon, the final assessment day arrived.


This time it was much simpler. Everyone has five minutes to work with the photographer to take the photo, and it will be posted on the official website and Weibo account. Netizens will choose the five best photos, allowing the five people to enter the top 15. In addition, a professional jury will rate each photo, and then select the other 10 contestants based on the overall score.


Of the current 30 contestants, half of them would be eliminated.


Part of this competition is very cruel, but also quite fair. Each training assessment was broadcast live. Under the scrutiny of netizens, the jury gave a relatively fair score, avoiding any prejudice due to personal emotional factors. Therefore, this comprehensive performance test was the best method to reflect one's strength and level. In addition, netizens should choose the best photos online, and they can infer the popularity of contestants based on the voting results.


The program always follows the preferences of the audience, so popular contestants will go further in the competition.


The photos were taken in the studio, and to reflect the fairness, the poses and backgrounds were chosen by the contestants themselves. They can choose to have a background based on their clothes, so this way, even though the photo doesn't look good, they can't blame the production team.


After a busy day, the half-month training camp was about to end.


The production team gave the contestants a two-day vacation. At the end of the two days, the contestants would return to face the results. Who will go and who will stay is not something they can control.


When they left the villa, many contestants cried because they knew that once they left, they might actually have to leave the super model house forever.


“Jiaojiao, where will you go after this? Do you want to join us? ” Luo Yi pulled Sheng Jiaoyang as she asked.


“No, I want to go home.”


“OK, however, I already have your contact details. If something is unexpected, we can contact each other by phone. ”


“Iya, see you!”


After those who had a good relationship finished saying goodbye, everyone separated.


As for Sheng Jiaoyang, he returned to his new home where he would stay for two days. He did not see Xu Qing anywhere, and only then did he remember that Xu Qing had gone on to become a servant.


During this half a month he had been used to being surrounded by many people, and now that he was alone, he felt a little uncomfortable. There was a kind of empty feeling in his heart.


He thought for a moment before picking up his phone and calling Xu Qing.


After a while, the call was finally answered.


“Jiaojiao, is your competition done?” Xu Qing's startled voice could be heard from the speaker phone.


"I can rest for two days."


"Is that so? Alright, I will ask for two days' permission to accompany you! "


"Good."


After hanging up the phone, Sheng Jiaoyang accidentally caught a glimpse of a smile spreading across his face in the nearby mirror.


He became dazed after realizing how happy he was to know that someone would accompany him.


It seemed like he had already fully adapted to his current identity.


Now, he could calmly treat himself as Xu Jiaojiao. Since it was an arrangement given by God, then he would willingly accept it. And, since he was no longer in a bad environment, he would try hard to keep things improving.


The only worry he left behind was his grandfather's health. Grandpa will be 70 years old, this year. In recent years, he has experienced many shocks since the death of his wife, and then the death of his daughter. His body gradually deteriorated. Now that he also had an accident, how could his grandfather accept it?


He really wanted to fly overseas to meet his grandfather and tell him in person that he was alive and well!


He did not have a passport or visa. Most importantly, she is not yet 18 years old and is still under the responsibility of a guardian.


"What should I do?"


Sheng Jiaoyang lay down on the sofa, took out his cell phone, and subconsciously browsed the web.


Suddenly, he found an entertainment article.


His gaze became focused.


[Super international model Lin Na and her rich boyfriend have announced their peaceful farewell!]


Sheng Jiaoyang still remembered what happened when they met at the airport.


Mei Niu hugged her and said that she did not want to let go. Then, George jokingly said, “Quick and go! You can come back when Lina and I have our wedding. "


At that moment, Mei Niu rolled her eyes and could not help but laugh. Anyone could see that she was looking forward to her marriage to George.


Both of them obviously wanted to marry each other, so why did they break up?


He had never heard of the conflict between the two before he had an accident, so it must have been something recent.


The next time he saw Mei Niu, he had to reveal his identity.


In this world, other than her grandfather, Mei Niu was the only person who knew her best. From elementary school to university, they spend more time together than their closest relatives. In addition, there were many common secrets among them.


As Sheng Jiaoyang was worrying, in a certain villa, Xu Qing was having trouble.


“You've only been here for a few days, but you've asked for leave? Who will come and clean the house if you leave? " ask a woman dressed as a young woman. He was sitting on the sofa and glancing towards Xu Qing.


“I... There are some things to deal with in my house.” Xu Qing looked down.


“Are you not single? Who else is in your house? ”


Xu Qing remained silent; he did not want anyone other than him to know of Jiaojiao's whereabouts.


“Xu Qing, do you think this job is too tiring? Or do you still have feelings for my husband? " the woman casually asked while looking at her nails.


"No, me!" Xu Qing quickly refuted.


“Then, it's good.You've seen it these past few days, haven't you? My husband cares about my family. Even after so many years, he still brought back presents for me and Wenwen whenever he went on a business trip. So, you should not have a strange idea – freaks. My husband chose to divorce you because he didn't like you, that's all. And I, as his beloved wife, saw how weak and pitiful you were, so I offered you a light job in my house. Never bite the hand that feeds you! " the woman arrogantly snapped, her words bearing a double meaning.


Xu Qing bit his lips and did not respond.


The woman raised her chin triumphantly before she waved her hand to fire. "Well, if you want to ask for a leave, it's okay. For the next two days I will only call temporary workers to take care of the villa. "


"Thank you!" Xu Qing turned around and quickly left.


"Wait!" the woman suddenly said before continuing, "You're not planning to stop, are you?"


"No I don't plan on quitting." Xu Qing took a deep breath before exiting the villa.


As he stepped out, tears streamed down Xu Qing's cheeks.


If it wasn't for the lack of money, he wouldn't have taken the job. He did not want to see people who had hurt him in the past. However, for her daughter, no matter how much she suffered, it would pass her by.


Bis beep!


As he walked, he heard the sound of a car alarm.


Xu Qing wiped his tears and turned to look, only to see the car of the mistress of the Pan Family following him with Xiao Song behind the wheel.


“The lady told me to give you a ride, so don't refuse Madam's kindness. Quick in! ” Said Xiao Song.


Ever since he said that, Xu Qing did not refuse and quickly entered the car.


However, he only let Xiao Song lower him at the gate of his residential neighborhood.


Xiao Song measured the area, then turned his car around to return to the villa and report to the Madam.


“Ming Hua Park in College Road?” Upon hearing Xiao Song's report, the woman who had slashed the flower branch narrowed her eyes.


He had lived here for so long that he knew all the high-class districts nearby.


Xu Qing lived in an upscale district but dressed like a bad-looking woman to ask for a job, and he happened to meet her by chance? Who would believe that he did not hide any hidden motives ?!


Taking her phone, she dialed the number.


"Hello, Lao Zheng, I need your help investigating someone."
