Chapter 777: Group of Celebrities Singing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Soft light overflowed in the banquet hall.
Luo Luo, Bai Murong, Xie Linlang, Lu Tao... These various celebrities were dressed to the nines and surrounded Xia Ling like stars surrounding a moon.
The shutters of cameras belonging to reporters sounded again.
Xia Ling looked around. Her friendship with these celebrities was not very deep, but during this crucial moment, they actually stood up for her and did not hesitate to offend Old Master Li. This kindness was enough for her to remember forever.
Luo Luo blinked and quickly said, “It’s rare to sing a song for Xiao Ling. We don’t even want an appearance fee because she is our friend. If it were someone else, we wouldn’t sing no matter how much money was offered. Am I right? Murong? Linlang?”
The celebrities around her smiled and nodded.
The singer profession was somewhat special. They seemed to be endlessly special in front of ordinary people, but when they were with the titans of the world, they were easily called out for just selling their art and not received any respect. Many celebrities here experienced Xia Ling’s unfortunate situation before and now empathized with her.
There was another reason.
Besides Luo Luo and a few others who were true friends of Xia Ling, Bai Murong, Xie Linlang and others were all celebrities under Skyart Entertainment. Although Old Master Li was powerful, he was not the one overseeing the company, so of course they had to support Big Boss Li. Big Boss Li already said that Xia Ling was the lady boss. At this crucial moment, how could they not support the lady boss? Besides, even if the world fell apart, they would not be afraid because they could rely on Big Boss Li.
They happily stood in place.
Old Master Li was furious. “This banquet has nothing to do with Miss Ye.”
The group of celebrities ignored him and laughed as they walked to the band and softly said something. After seeing so many celebrities, the band had no choice but to give them face and play the song that they requested.
The celebrities went on stage and a familiar tune sounded.
It was a classic song that had been popular for many years both nationally and internationally: The Whole World Is Singing For You.
It was very suitable.
Bai Murong, who was wearing a vintage suit, held the microphone gracefully and sang the first verse. “You are the swaying light in midsummer, the fragrance of flowers in my dream...”
When the heavenly king sang, it was extraordinary.
The entire banquet, even those who did not notice the conflict, all turned to look at him. Only then did they realize that a dozen luxurious and beautiful celebrities had gathered on stage. Everyone looked graceful and acted as if they were performing at a concert.
“What is this?” A guest wondered. “Is this a pre-arranged performance?”
His companion was also confused. “It can’t be. I remember that Mr. Bai and several of them were admitted as guests, not performers. Furthermore, Luo Luo and the rest of them... Don’t you think this group is made of diverse people?” On the stage, there were heavenly kings like Bai Murong and ordinary singers like Lu Tao and Luo Luo, who were not as famous. In fact, it was strange because Luo Luo was not a very famous singer and did not fit in with the group.
All the guests felt the same.
Their curiosity grew. Soon, someone realized something else. “Look, it seems that all of the singers who came to the banquet are on stage except Ye Xingling!”
After he said that, everyone realized that sure enough, all of the singers were on stage but Ye Xingling. She stood below the stage listening to them with a smile on face and champagne in hand.
The dim light shrouded her, and her skirt fluttered like a fairy.
“Is Ye Xingling being pushed out?” Someone who did not know the truth asked.
Those unaware of the truth observed the situation for a while. “That seems unlikely. Look, she seems to be very close to Feng Kun and Wei Shaoyin. If those singers dare to push Ye Xingling out, they wouldn’t dare to offend Feng Kun and Wei Shaoyin.”
Which singer would dare to offend the top producers in the industry?
The crowd was even more confused about the truth.
“Forget it, let’s listen to the song. We can learn more about it after Bai Murong and the others get off the stage.”
“That’s true.” They gathered in front of the stage and enjoyed the song.
The song, “The Whole World Is Singing For You,” was too popular and everyone knew how to sing it. Even though the celebrities on stage did not rehearse beforehand, their experience performing made them quickly adapt to the spotlight and they cooperated very smoothly. Xie Linlang and Bai Murong sang together: “Legend has it that being unrestrained...”
Luo Luo continued, “The whole world is singing for you...”
Lu Tao sang. “The whole world’s voices are ringing for you. Only for those who are strong...”
Every sound and every verse was like a dream-like world.
The banquet hall was very large. Li Lei, who was originally at the end with guests, was also attracted. He turned around and looked at the stage. Beside him, the chairman of Chen’s Real Estate Development said with a smile, “It seems to be very lively there. Second Young Master Li, why don’t we take a look.”
Li Lei also smiled. He took his champagne glass and strolled over.
In the crowd, Su Tang stood beside Old Master Li but kept searching for Li Lei. At this point, after seeing Li Lei, she quickly ran to him and looked pale. “I’m sorry, Young Master. I did something wrong.”
Li Lei raised his eyebrows slightly.
“I...” Su Tang lightly bit her lip. “Old Master was very protective of me and wanted to ask Miss Ye to sing me a song. However, Miss Ye was unwilling and called her friends over...”
Li Lei understood. Grandpa was trying to squeeze Xiao Ling out again.
He gently told Su Tang. “It’s not your fault.”
Su Tang was very uneasy. “If it weren’t for me...”
“Even if it weren’t you, there would be somebody else.” Li Lei was very open-minded. Old Master Li did not like Xiao Ling, so he tried to use Su Tang to go against her. Today, even if Su Tang weren’t here, Old Master Li would still use other means to make things difficult for Xiao Ling. He did not blame Su Tang because the crux of the problem did not lie with Su Tang but Old Master Li’s prejudice.
Su Tang sighed in relief secretly. It was great. She easily removed herself from the problem.
She wanted to borrow Old Master Li’s influence to deal with Xia Ling but did not want her actions to affect Li Lei’s view of her. If she did, how could she remain by his side? Now, this situation was the best case scenario. Li Lei only thought that Old Master Li was in the wrong and would not push any blame to her. This was the result she wanted.
“Thank you, young master.” She whispered. She remained by Li Lei’s side as they watched the performance.
On the other hand, Xia Ling looked at the stage and was completely immersed in the music. Even if there were countless problems, music always gave her a second life. It was also especially rare for so many singers who were on different levels of their career to sing together. She was so invested in it that she analyzed their pros and cons.
