Chapter 946: I Can Do It, I Can!
When Wen Ruoshui came over, the dining table was full of vegetables. A few of the dishes were personally cooked by Yan Yuanfei.
Everyone knew that he had made that dish, so they all persuaded Wen Ruoshui to eat it. Even Ling Sheng kept putting food into her bowl and said with a smile, “This is made of black truffle. Doesn’t it taste very fresh?”
“Sheng Sheng, did you cook these dishes?” Wen Ruoshui looked at the bowl full of vegetables and asked her.
Ling Sheng was shameless. She hummed in agreement; she couldn’t say that Second Uncle had cooked it. “Auntie Wen, if you like it, I’ll make it for you often in the future.”
Wen Ruoshui looked at the others present and said with a smile, “Didn’t you guys taste anything special about these few dishes?”
“What’s so special about them?” Jun Shiyan replied when he saw that no one else was talking.
Wen Ruoshui smiled. “It smells like Second Brother.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that everyone present had different expressions. She was increasingly certain of her guess deep within. It’s him. It must be him.
On New Year’s Eve, she had been accompanying the Yan family’s auntie and grandmother to watch the Spring Festival Gala. She kept feeling that someone was staring at them, but when she looked over, there was nothing.
Old Fifth had also gone over that day. He said that he was accompanying them to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but G.o.d knows that he wasn’t that sensitive? He was even accompanying them to watch the Spring Festival Gala?!
She felt suspicious. When Old Fifth left, she said that she wouldn’t send him off, but she secretly followed him, afraid that she would be discovered so she stayed far away. When she went over, she only had time to see the back of a man in a wheelchair. When it flashed past, how could she not recognize the man who was so familiar that he had long been carved into her bones!
“Really?” Ling Sheng was very happy and extremely proud. “It seems like I’ve inherited Second Uncle’s teachings!”
Huo Ci glared at her. Look at how happy she is. But why did Second Sister-in-law suddenly mention Second Brother?
Jun Shiyan frowned slightly, suspicion growing in his heart. Did she already discover something? No way. Why don’t I feel any sense of familiarity when I eat Second Brother’s food?
Nangong Lengyu knew that a woman’s sixth sense had no logic to speak of. She could just discover and know it. It seemed like she would have to talk to Second Brother in the future and tell him not to approach her anymore. He shouldn’t even watch from afar anymore. She would discover it.
Ling Sheng had not expected that a proper Valentine’s Day, where she had initially planned to spend some alone time with Third Master. Then, she would sacrifice herself to see if she could awaken the slightest bit of his lost memories.
But who would have thought that their alone time would turn into a family gathering?
Halfway through the meal, Rong Yin came over with his wife and children too. Jiang Zhe also brought Tang Yu over after settling the matter over there. If Lu Yubai was in China, he would have definitely come too.
After Valentine’s Day, Ling Sheng was locked up at home again like a canary. Not only was she locked up at home to nurse her pregnancy, but she also had to eat various tonics every day.
The night before the Lantern Festival.
“Dad, me! me!” Ling Sheng raised her hand and looked at Huo Ci with sparkling eyes. She had finally found an opportunity and was very enthusiastic. She hovered in front of him in an attempt to attract his attention and pointed at herself as she strongly recommended herself. “Don’t choose anymore! I’m the one. Me! I can do it. I can!”
Huo Ci rolled his eyes at her, and his gaze landed on her stomach. “Take good care of your baby.”
Ling Sheng was about to die. She pretended to sob. “The doctor said it’s already stable. I’m not a porcelain doll either. I want to go. Look at the company. Other than me, no one else has a slot. It’s all full. It’s just me!”
Huo Ci was asking in the group chat. When he saw her hovering around like a ghost in front of him, he got annoyed and bellowed, “Get lost!”
Ling Sheng squatted beside him, supporting her chin with her hands as she looked at her father anxiously. What was meant by ‘one misstep leads to sorrow for a thousand years’? She was the example. If the heavens gave her another chance, she would never do that again no matter what.
The director of Beijing Television Station’s Lantern Festival Gala had called her father and said that a singer attending the event had gotten into a car accident. He wanted to borrow someone from him at the last minute to fill in the vacancy.
Her father was looking for someone, but the company’s artistes’ schedules were all full, and they couldn’t decline any one of the jobs. She was the only idle person squatting at the side, begging for opportunities and resources, yet her father still was unwilling to acknowledge her.
After searching for a long time, Huo Ci still couldn’t find a suitable candidate. The company’s artistes had all kinds of schedules that day, and they couldn’t be pushed away. He contacted a few managers whom he had good relationships with, but the artistes under them didn’t have time to attend either.
Even if he looked for more popular celebrities, like someone at Sheng Xichen’s level, Beijing Television Station would have to have enough influence too. Besides, he only owed them a tiny favor. At most, he would throw the stinky brat in his house to them to keep up with appearances.
“Dad, Dad!” Ling Sheng ran over to ma.s.sage his shoulders and was extremely solicitous. “Me! Look at me. I can do it. My last-minute adaptability is super strong. I can sing any song!”
Huo Ci asked, “Did the doctor really say that it’s stable?”
Ling Sheng nodded vigorously, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears of excitement. “Thank you, Dad! I’ll definitely perform well!”
Huo Ci frowned. “Did I say you could go?”
It wasn’t easy for Ling Sheng to get a chance, and she was so touched that her tears fell. Of course, she had to fight for her right. Otherwise, she would really get bored being shut at home, and grow mold. “Dad, if you’re worried, I’ll get Mom to come with me tomorrow. She can just watch me from below the stage, okay? It’ll take at most four minutes to go on stage with just one song. What could happen?”
Huo Ci thought for a moment. “Call her. We’ll have a rehearsal in the morning, one in the afternoon, and the live broadcast is at night.”
Ling Sheng jumped straight up excitedly. After thanking him, she hurriedly called her mother.
At night, Nangong Lengyu came over and accompanied her to the rehearsal the next day. She carefully protected her like a treasure. The dress that was originally reserved for a gown.
Before going on stage, Nangong Lengyu placed a heat pack on Ling Sheng’s stomach, legs, and arms. The temperature indoors was very low, so she was afraid that she would catch a cold.
When Si Chengluo pa.s.sed by, he happened to see her. But he walked straight past without looking at her and didn’t even greet her.
She refused to act in School Bully, and the reason the studio gave him was that her life was threatened by his fans. Song Yiyan gave the same reason.
The studio said that this excuse was also for his own good. It helped him draw fans due to pity and increase the current fans’ loyalty. At the same time, it also warned those self-righteous and crazy fans to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
Ever since then, the fans’ behavior improved a lot. They also started writing reflections and reflecting on themselves, apologizing to those female celebrities who had been scolded in the past.
But he wouldn’t accept it. He definitely wouldn’t accept it. He waited for her to explain it to him, but he hadn’t seen her again since that day.
He didn’t expect that he would have absolutely no place in her heart at all. He was so worthless that even calling him to tell him was just his own wishful thinking!
As Si Chengluo’s manager, Chen Nan had accompanied him here because he knew that Ling Sheng had also come to the Lantern Festival Gala. He was afraid that he would do something extreme again. When he saw that he did not stop when he pa.s.sed by Ling Sheng’s lounge, he finally felt relieved.
This ancestor’s career is currently on the rise, so he can’t fall in love. Even if the partner he dates is the daughter of Big Boss and the movie queen, no can do! He hasn’t transitioned yet, so he’s still an idol. Fans and popularity are the objective for an idol!
Chen Nan was replying to messages while sitting on the sofa. Suddenly, he saw Si Chengluo stand up and rush right out like a lunatic. He grabbed a staff member and asked, “Where’s Ling Sheng?”
