Chapter 183 - 182: Odd Man-II

Li Lian was taken aback by his question but not entirely. She didn't know what was inside Wei Tsui Lan's head but she knew she wouldn't want to meet him ever again after this.

"Mind letting go of my mistress's hand, mister?" Wei Tsui Lan felt a sharp fingernails stopping at his wrist. He looked up to see Violet. The entire time he had been conversing with Li Lian, he knew the woman had been glaring at him as if expecting his littlest action before she finally moved.

Where they were now was shielded by the people of the studio. Thankfully, Xie Hue Lin was busy singing that people also had their eyes all on her and didn't notice what was happening on the farthest seat of the studio.

"I'm sorry." Wei Tsui Lan raised his hand to his ears as if he was signaling his surrender to Violet and his hand slipped out of her wrist.

Li Lian took her hand to the side. She didn't want to spare another look at the man who was now placed in her blacklist of people she will never want to see again and turned to say, "You may think what you want but my husband is the best that I have found. I love him and it is the truth." she felt she should say the words to the man and she did. Leaving the man on her place she scooted to the brightest place in the studio so Wei Tsui Lan shouldn't be able to chase her.

What was his problem? she didn't know but remembering his face made her angry for some reason.

"Thank you, Violet." she expressed her thanks to the woman beside her.

"No problem miss, it was only my job." replied Violet with a rigid tone.

Li Lian decided to focus on her surrounding looking at the glass box she heard Xie Hue Lin's voice singing the song. Everything sounded right in place and Hue Lin didn't hesitate to mimic the emotions Li Lian wanted to deliver in the audition as if she was the one who had sang the song the way it was.

In a year she was in a coma, Xie Hue Lin's voice didn't change much it sounded just like the way Li Lian was. But this wasn't out of coincidental. Since Li Lian come to Xie Family, Xie Hie Lin tailed her as if she was a newborn chick, whatever she did, Xie Hue Lin did everything she could to copy her and also in singing. And of course, Xie Hue Lin's was smart enough to twist everything so she would be seen as the original while Li Lian as the copy cat.

What was Xie Hue Lin doing now by using her studio? Li Lian couldn't see the purpose other than to harass her but Xie Hue Lin wasn't someone who like to do anything in a tepid fashion.

Li Lian smiles, waiting for Xie Hue Lin to start her plan.

It took three hours for Xie Hue Lin to finish the song recording with five times mistake. And there was only one hour left for Li Lian to record her song.

When Xie Hue Lin walked out of the place, the director was filled with praises. "Miss Xie, the song was perfect! Unfortunately we could only record half of the song but the progress was smooth."

"It's only because of everyone's help that I was able to finish the song faster and of course for Li Lian's help too." smiled Xie Hue Lin and Li Lian kindly return back her smile.

"Of course as a singer we should help each other. Else who would help us?" questioned Li Lian.

Du Zhen and Qing Jiang Mei who sat on the counter of the studio agreed with her words and her modest words. "Yes, Singer Yue this is all because of your help, we are very gratefully lending the studio for us."

"It's my pleasure," replied Li Lian, in that moment Ku Chenxiang and Xie Hue Lin exchange glances but Li Lian didn't notice their sign as she was talking with Mr. Du for her own recording.

When it was her time to record, Li Lian went into the box, her eyes were looking around the studio as she entered before meeting her gaze with Wei Tsui Lan who was smiling broadly and shifted her eyes away to enter the recording room. Wei Tsui Lan chuckled and saw how Violet was glaring daggers to him.

"We will start by the first verse." said Mr. Du and he then showed a hint for the person behind him to nod.

Li Lian placed on her headphones and was about to hear the song when she hears nothing. She looked at Du Zhen who speak as if they had started and frowned. Xie Hue Lin must have been the one who had tampered her headphones but she wasn't stupid not to know this. She didn't sang regardless that the song have started and Mr. Du looked at her confused. Li Lian feigned a confused expression looking at Mr. Du and suddenly someone had spoke, "Singer Yue, are you perhaps nervous?"

Li Lian casted her eyes toward the glass that separated the recording room and the studio. She found the director of Xie Hue Lin's song to be the one who had questioned.

Li Lian took off her headphones and looked at it with a queasy look. "Mr. Du I think something is wrong with the headphone, I can't hear anything."

"Hm? That's weird." said Mr. Du and he turned his face to one of his assistant. "Check what happen to Singer Yue's headphone.

One of the crew immediately stood from the place when he heard the instruction and went inside the recording box to fix the headphone, meanwhile, Li Lian waited for the headphone to be fixed and felt that Xie Hue Lin's trick was too childish to be called as one.

This must be not the only trick she had in her sleeve thought Li Lian, her eyes narrowed at her little sister.
