You Have Always Lost to Me

An Ziqi was perplexed. All she really wanted was to go through the training program without any hitch, but clearly, Lin Kelan was not going to let up on harassing her.

"Lin Kelan, your family does not own this contest. Why are you making such an audacious comment? Did you not learn anything from yesterday's incident?"

Lin Kelan fumed, "Ha! Stop putting on an act in my presence. Don't assume that I would be tricked by simply getting a couple of people to perform."

The search that she had ordered on the previous day had been completed, and she was informed that the registration number of the car from the day before was not listed anywhere.

That meant only two scenarios: one was that the owner of the car was someone powerful and formidable; the other scenario was that the registration number had been faked.

But then, judging by An Ziqi's shabby appearance, Lin Kelan did not even take scenario one into consideration.

These days, faked goods could be found everywhere, so that car had probably come from a criminal's loot.

And they had the audacity to pose as rich young masters and mistresses. How very amusing.

At that thought, the troubled feeling that had haunted Lin Kelan when she saw the Porsche the previous day finally dissipated and she felt slightly more at ease.

An Ziqi grimaced and said, "Aren't you overestimating yourself? Ever since our school days, you had never been able to outdo me. What makes you think that you have earned the right for me to bother putting on a performance for you?"

"An Ziqi, don't assume that. Just because you have made it past the preliminary round, you could prance around and show off!"

Lin Kelan's expression instantly turned twisted and ugly.

During their school days, despite having a better family background and not losing out to An Ziqi where looks were concerned, the latter had always been more popular.

How could she ever reconcile with that?

"Hey! You over there. Why are you loafing around and not practicing?"

The trainer, standing some distance away, sounded stern as she shouted at them.

Lin Kelan glared fiercely at An Ziqi before proceeding to walk away in the opposite direction.

As she walked past An Ziqi, she uttered angrily, "Just you wait!"

Feeling disinclined to deal with her, An Ziqi turned around and was just about to start discussing the training with her partner when the latter ran at speed and far away from her like she had the plague.

The Changxing Group was one of the sponsors of this beauty contest.

No one was willing to offend Lin Kelan and Changxing Group for a nobody like An Ziqi.

An Ziqi shrugged in resignation.

Filling her bowl with water, An Ziqi found a secluded corner to practice on her own.

Although the trainer had made it seem easy, balancing a bowl filled with water on one's head was a lot more challenging than imagined.

Just ensuring that the bowl stayed in place was challenging enough, let alone walking around gracefully while balancing the bowl on one's head.

The practice session had barely started when the training center was filled with the sounds of startled gasps and bowls crashing to the floor.

Before long, nearly all of them were drenched and complaining that it was too hard.

With her clothes soaking wet, An Ziqi was also not spared.

However, the experience of the past few years had honed her into someone with exceptional strength and determination.

In whatever she did, she was determined to do her utmost to achieve the best results.

Unlike the others who rested during their practice, An Ziqi took a deep breath and continued to place the bowl of water on her head to practice walking.

Watching her from a short distance away, Lin Kelan's eyes flashed as a devious idea came into her head. She looked at Xia Xiaotong next to her and sent her a signal with her eyes.

Nodding, Xia Xiaotong got up and, with a devious smile, walked towards An Ziqi who was practicing diligently.

When she got closer to An Ziqi's back, Xi Xiaotong pretended to skid clumsily and doubled up, intending to ramp violently into An Ziqi.

Since there was water all over the floorboards, An Ziqi would surely be forcefully thrown onto the floor if she were ramped from behind.

At best, she would end up with broken bones. At worst, she would definitely be disadvantaged.

At that time, some people had already noticed what was about to happen, but no one dared to warn An Ziqi.
