Chapter 56 - 53: Humble

Li Lian's eyes widened unconditionally, "Mr. Qing? Mr. Qing Jang Mei? I have been a fan of yours, since your third album 'Sky'! It's such a privilege to be able meeting you!"

Mister Qing laughs at seeing Li Lian's joyful smile and raises his hand for a handshake. "Ahahaha, is that so? Mrs. Yue, you're a fan of mine? That's such a big honor. Likewise, I'm a fan of yours too."

Li Lian shakes his hand back and tilts her head in confusion, "A fan of mine...?"

Mister Qing nodded, "It seems you didn't know this, but I'm also one of the judges of that TV program. When I first heard your singing, Mrs. Yue, my tears just flood on its own. Saying that your voice sounds angelic is surely not an exaggeration."

Li Lian became flattered by Mister Qing praise and smiles softly, "No, no, you're flattering me too much."

Even though Li Lian had won first place in the competition and her fame had sky-rocket overnight, it wasn't unusual if she became very arrogant. However, Li Lian remains unchanged and stayed as herself- who never look down or judge someone upon their look.

As a veteran in the music industry, Mister Qing had always been very good at reading someone's expression and their sincerity. It was the first time he had ever seen such a sincere and humble expression from a young person in his 20 years of experience.

Mister Qing was impressed by Li Lian humbleness and express his praise with a satisfied nod. From behind, Mister Qing's assistant came and whisper next to his ears. He took a moment in silence and nods after his assistance finishes talking.

Mister Qing turns his face toward Li Lian while pointing his hand toward another staff, "Well then, Mrs. Yue this person here will guide you to the makeup room, after that we would start the photoshoot. Let's do our best."

Li Lian nodded and greeted him before she leaves, "Likewise and thank you, Mister Qing."

Walking to the makeup room, a group of women with sparkly and glamourous dress group up around Li Lian's makeup room. Even the staff who was guiding Li Lian became afraid when she saw the group.

Li Lian sighs when she saw the familiar woman with an angered expression on her face...it was Fu Wanxi!

Fu Wanxi and Li Lian had been together since they were in university. Li Lian who had just came back from Japan decided to follow her dream as a singer and entered one of the famous singing university in China.

Because of her talent, it didn't take long for Li Lian to master the singing techniques and became famous in the whole university shadowing the previous idol, Fu Wanxi.

Since then, Fu Wanxi had hated Li Lian to the core, she couldn't bear the humility she felt back in her university day and still hold grudge against Li Lian. This result in her attempt in making Li Lian drinking soy milk which was Li Lian's allergy, however the plan failed because she didn't know that Li Lian wasn't actually allergic to soy milk.

Li Lian had sensed Fu Wanxi's hostility since she was in university...But she didn't expect her to have the courage to do something so stupid...

Don't she know that allergy could kill someone? And what she did count as attempted murder?

Fu Wanxi stood in front of Li Lian while crossing her arm with a cynical expression, saying with a loud voice. "Stop there!"
