Yang Cheng pursed his lips. "I don't want to talk about it. But don't worry, she'll definitely be wary of me when I mention her 'father'. Even if she holds a grudge against me, she'll still choose to forget everything that happened today."
"Father? Her father? "Lin Ruoxi was puzzled." Why does she look so afraid? "
Yang Cheng shrugged. "Baby, there are some things you'd better not understand. Otherwise, you'll think that the world is filled with filth. Sigh … human nature …"
Lin Ruoxi mumbled, "She's so weird. Forget it if she doesn't want to talk about it …"
Silence fell over the venue.
The Cranberries and Lu Yao stepped onto the stage one after another. The lights in the venue dimmed, and a few warm lights shone on the stage. Colorful neon lights flashed behind them.
As the music started, the classic song, 'Dreams', began to play.
Dolores, the lead singer of the Cranberries, was the idol of many international superstars. Her deep tongue roll and elongated voice were imitated by many superstars.
"… Oh my life is changing everyday In every possible way And though my dreams are never quite …"
The beautiful melody captivated the audience. Many of the older fans even hummed softly.
When Dolores finished her first verse, Lu Yao, who had been quietly harmonizing, began to sing as well.
Lu Yao's voice was slightly hoarse, which was why Yang Cheng said that her voice was not clear enough. But it was this hoarseness that gave the song a different feel.
Lin Ruoxi leaned over to Yang Cheng's ear and said, "She's actually quite good at singing. You've been too harsh on her."
Yang Cheng snorted. "I said she's not as good as Hui Lin, I didn't say she's not good. Besides, if Hui Lin were to sing this song, she'd be better than her. "
Lin Ruoxi was speechless for a while. Finally, she snorted and said, "It seems like Hui Lin is your biological sister. You don't usually call her, but she always asks about you when we talk on the phone."
"Is that so?" Yang Cheng scratched the back of his head. Shanshan said, "I keep forgetting about it. But aren't we going back to Zhonghai for a concert this month? We should spend more time with her then."
Lin Ruoxi sighed, "It's not that simple. Hui Lin is already a superstar now. Don't you know how many fans she has? Just the number of visitors on her official homepage alone is close to ten million a day. As long as she goes out, she will definitely be recognized."
Yang Cheng hadn't thought about this problem and felt a headache. "Then I'll have to disguise myself as a man before going out."
Lin Ruoxi hit the man's arm. "I can't believe you came up with such a stupid idea!"
Yang Chen chuckled, feeling rather proud.
Before they knew it, the duet between Lu Yao and the Cranberries was coming to an end. The audience couldn't wait to give them a round of applause. Many of the staff had even forgotten about their work and were clapping excitedly.
Dolores exclaimed into the microphone, "Miss Lu Yao is truly the queen of Hua Xia. Her singing is very unique."
Lu Yao smiled humbly on the stage. "I'm just singing with the heart of an idol. Miss Dolores, you're too kind."
Many guests at the scene immediately asked the two of them to sing another song, shouting that it was not enough.
"Miss Dolores! I'm also a fan of the Cranberries. Please sing a few more songs! "
"Miss Lu Yao's singing was amazing. Let's do another one!"
The Cranberries were at a loss as to what to do. After all, if they continued singing like this, it would be an early concert.
Lu Yao's eyes drifted to Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi, who were watching from below the stage. Her eyes glinted as she said, "Today's host should be General Lin. General Lin is such a beauty that even women would be jealous of. Why don't we invite General Lin up on stage to sing a song?"
As soon as he said that, all the guests present immediately cheered!
Many of them were still reminiscing about Lin Ruoxi's stunning entrance. Unfortunately, as the host, they were too embarrassed to stare at her. Hence, many of them sneaked a few glances at her.
Everyone was looking forward to Lin Ruoxi's singing. Although it was impossible for her to sing like a professional singer, at the very least, she would not be any better than Lu Yao!
Moreover, it would not be rude to stare at her, especially the men, who were more than happy to do so.
This shocked Lin Ruoxi herself!
Sing?!
Lin Ruoxi wanted nothing more than to pass out and be sent to the hospital right now!
Nervously grabbing Yang Cheng's hand, Lin Ruoxi tried her best to remain calm, but her palms were drenched in cold sweat.
Yang Cheng frowned. Lu Yao was clearly using this as an excuse to take revenge. Although only a few people close to Lin Ruoxi knew that she could not sing out of tune in the first word, as long as she was not a professional, going up to sing after the Cranberries and Lu Yao's performance was tantamount to suicide!
Due to the difference in their singing skills, people would immediately think that Lin Ruoxi's singing was terrible!
Unfortunately, Lin Ruoxi's singing couldn't be described as' awful '!
No one was perfect. If God had designed this woman's business acumen to be 200%, then her musical talent would be -200%.
Lu Yao knew that it would be dangerous for her to fight back directly, so she had to resort to such a subtle method. After all, inviting Lin Ruoxi to sing was not exactly the right thing to do.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were filled with panic. She looked at Yang Cheng and asked, "What should I do?"
Yang Cheng pursed his lips. "How about … I sing in your place?"
Although he was also an amateur, at least he was better than Lin Ruoxi. As a husband, he should be able to sing in his wife's place.
Lin Ruoxi quickly nodded, grasping at straws.
If she could refuse, she would have done so already. However, all the guests present were VIPs, and she was the host. If she didn't even dare to go on stage to sing a song and create an awkward silence, it would be too damaging to her dignity. Moreover, many people might think that she was deliberately looking down on them.
Hence, under such a joyous occasion, Lin Ruoxi could not refuse such an offer.
Yang Chen cleared his throat and said, "Why don't I sing a song on behalf of my wife? My wife's voice hasn't been very good lately, so she left the stage after just a few words. Can you all understand her?"
Hearing Yang Cheng's words, the guests felt that they could not force the issue. Looking at Lin Ruoxi's troubled expression, many of them agreed.
However, those who were here to see Lin Ruoxi on stage rejected the idea, saying that it would be disrespectful to them.
Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin stood in the crowd with a cold smirk on their faces. As Lin Ruoxi's schoolmates, especially Shen Yaxin who was her classmate for many years, they naturally knew about Lin Ruoxi's singing skills.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Yang Cheng wondered if he should create an emergency to divert everyone's attention. However, if he did that, the event would be ruined. He was not sure if he would lose more than he gained …
At this moment, a clear and melodious voice came from the back of the stage …
"My sister's voice is not good, let me sing in her place."
The girl did not appear in person, but her voice made many people turn to look at the stage in shock.
Then, a slender woman with long hair, wearing a white, off-shoulder dress with blue floral patterns, appeared from the back and slowly walked onto the stage.
"Isn't that Miss Hui Lin?"
"It's really Hui Lin? She's prettier in person! "
"Aiya, my wife and I listen to her songs every day!"
"No wonder Miss Hui Lin signed with Yu Lei. She's General Lin's sister? Now that I think about it, they do look alike … "
"Miss Hui Lin, I love you!!"
The audience below the stage was in an uproar. Regardless of age or gender, practically all of them recognized Huilin at once!
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi were shocked. They did not know that Hui Lin had already returned to Zhonghai!
"Why is this girl here all of a sudden?" Yang Cheng mumbled.
Lin Ruoxi had also forgotten about her nervousness. She said happily, "She must have been afraid that there would be too many reporters if she came back on time, so she came back earlier. Look, everyone knows Hui Lin. You can imagine how popular she is now."
It had only been a few months since Huilin stood on the stage. Her face was still fresh and beautiful, but compared to before, there was a bit more maturity, a bit more experience, and a bit more indifferent and noble temperament.
It was as if she had grown from a naive girl into a superstar who could win the hearts of countless people. Under the spotlight, her every movement exuded a confident feminine charm.
