Chapter 276: The Goldfish Is Dead
Xiaoqi hurriedly said, “That’s mine too. I’m the youngest. I get two.”
This was Uncle Jun’s, but only he knew that. He would not tell anyone.
Xiaoqi wanted to rear the goldfish, but no one had told him that the goldfish obtained from the mall had only managed to survive thanks to injected oxygen.
The next morning, Ling Sheng had just woken up when she heard Xiaoqi sobbing softly on the balcony. In front of him was the corpse of a goldfish. Upon hearing the sound of her footsteps, he turned around and cried out with swollen eyes. “Mommy, it’s dead! The goldfish is dead!”
Ling Sheng had forgotten that the goldfish obtained from the mall could not survive. Even if they were given oxygen, they might still not survive. It wouldn’t be a surprise if they died when they were placed in a fish tank. She comforted him in a gentle voice. “It’s alright. The goldfish went to the goldfish planet. It will live well on its own planet.”
Su Xiyin’s heart ached immensely as she tugged at Ling Sheng. “Why would you buy him goldfish? It’s easy for children to develop feelings for these small animals. Look at him crying.”
Ling Sheng nodded obediently. “I understand. I won’t buy him any more in the future.”
What could she do if her son wanted to fish for goldfish to have fun? She was innocent in this entire situation. She could finally understand how her father felt after being criticized.
Xiaoqi was very sad. He buried the small goldfish in the flower pot Ling Sheng had prepared and stood beside it for a long time, his eyes swollen.
Uncle Jun’s goldfish had died. He had to be very sad.

Ling Sheng was notified about the audition time—eight o’clock in the morning. However, her audition number wasn’t fixed, as she would be drawing one when she got there.
One might have to wait from morning to night for an audition.
Ling Sheng had initially thought that the mysterious man was messing with her. She had even asked Mei Xuelin for two bodyguards, fearing that she would meet a bad person.
The audition venue was the Blue Gold Building in the capital, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. She took the elevator and reached the 18th floor but was then stopped by the receptionist. “Miss, you can’t enter without an invitation.”
Ling Sheng explained and showed the receptionist her WeChat message. “Your director asked me to come for an audition. I have a WeChat message.”
That person was really unreliable. He had promised to notify her before the interview, but no one had replied to her messages. She had thought he was a liar. If he had not spoken up for her that day, she would not have come in the first place.
“Miss, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Our director would not have taken the initiative to add you on WeChat and ask you to come for an audition. Did someone lie to you?” The receptionist looked at her strangely. “Besides, I don’t have Director Chen’s WeChat. I’m not sure if your WeChat message is real.”
“Director Chen?” Ling Sheng thought to herself how lucky she was that there was indeed a Director Chen. “Which Director Chen are you talking about?”
The receptionist, who was a nice person, passed her a poster. “Who else? Director Chen Mo. Director Chen!”
When Luo Xin reached that floor, she happened to see Ling Sheng talking to the receptionist. After listening for a while, she was sure that Ling Sheng was there to participate in the audition. However, although she had not received an invitation, she was claiming that Director Chen had asked her to come.
“Ling Sheng.” Luo Xin took the initiative to greet her and asked, “Are you here for the audition too? Congratulations, auditioning for Director Chen is a very rare opportunity.”
Ling Sheng nodded in greeting. “Ms. Luo, you must also be here to participate in the audition.”
Upon seeing someone she knew, she was sure that that person had been telling the truth. The timing and location were right, and other actors had come to participate in the audition. But who was he? Why had he gotten her to come by deceiving her?
