Chapter 185 - 184: I Don’t Drink-I

Li Lian heard her song played out and her lips parted for her voice to come out. She closed her eyes, singing the melody with a melancholic expression and put her best to sing the song and deliver the emotion she wanted people to feel. As OST songs are usually made to be played in some scenes of the movie, Li Lian tried to sang the melody subtle but with enough power for people to notice and left impression to the people.

Du Zhen gawked at her voice and so did Qing Jiang Mei and Mo Huan. As much as Xie Hue Lin dislike Li Lian, she also can't help herself but be entranced by her singing voice. She clenched her fist, her expression hardened. She couldn't ask the person who she hired before to kill Li Lian once again but at the same time she couldn't find her weakness. For that, she need to create opportunity where Li Lian would fall to her trap and have her entire career ruined. She knows many way but for her elder sister, Xie Hue Lin decided to play it nice and slow in the beginning before making her suffer.

Li Lian was able to sing the first verse without mistake and as Du Zhen and Qing Jiang Mei didn't stopped her recording she continued to the second verse, moving without any problem. In an hour, she succeeded to finish half of the song and exited the place as soon as she had finished her song.

Qing Jiang Mei and Du Zhen was far than astonished after the song she had sing and as she stood between them to hear the song again, she was capable to give herself a thought of what she had been lacking and what she needed to do to improve the song.

"I didn't know that Singer Yue is very knowledgeable in music." whispered the people behind them. "She is different from the rest."

This only angered Xie Hue Lin. She had brought herself to the studio to help herself to look better than Li Lian by singing first but it only backfired to herself. She clenched her hand anger and irritation came reaching to her lips.

"This should be all for today, I wish to hear more but we have less time to do that." said Du Zhen standing from his seat.

"That was very beautiful, Li Lian, it's a shame that we could only hear a little of your song." Xie Hue Lin beamed a smile beside Li Lian who gave her a faint nod.

"You too, I can't wait to hear the completed version of your song." The others saw how their relationship as senior and junior to be friendly and heartwarming but no one knew the truth between them.

Leaving Xie Hue Lin after the conversation, she then went to Wei Mo Ran who was currently busy with the phone. Since before, she had kept an eye toward how Wei Mo Ran was busy with her conversation in the phone, her brows were knitted hinting that something had went out of her favor. "What's wrong, Mo Ran Jie-jie?" Li Lian asked.

"There is a problem with the set up for the music video. Li Lian, I will have to leave now, is that fine with you?"

"I will go with you." she said, not finding the need to stay here but Wei Mo Ran shook her head stopping her.

"No it's fine if I go alone, you should go home now and take a rest. I will contact you again later." Wei Mo Ran left the place hurriedly. She also thought she should go home now and went with Violet when Mo Huan spoke.

"Singer Yue!" Li Lian turned her head seeing the man with Qing Jiang Mei and Du Zhen. "We will be going to a place after this, do you want to come with us?"

Li Lian gave a thought for a second or two the turned down the offer politely. "No, I'm sorry, I still have work to do."

"Oh please don't reject me, it's also an apology From singer Xie for taking up your time of the studio." But Xie Hue Lin had never apologized after what happened, how smooth his words were. "There will be a few drinks there. Mr. Qing and Mr. Du will also come with us and Singer Xie too with the rest of the crews."

As much as she love drinks she didn't that it was safety for her to drink with Xie Hue Lin. Xie Hue Lin hugged her hands, smiling wide to ask, "We should go Li Lian, it's rude to turn down the offer when there are many people here, don't you think? It's only for an hour." she spoke, "Mr. Qing and Mr. Du is going to come too, they also want to have a talk with you."

"Don't feel pressured Li Lian, you could go back to work it is just a small gathering." Qing Jiang Mei spoke.

Small gathering between the singers were often held after recording in the first day but knowing how dangerous it was, she pulled a troubled smile and spoke, "I want to but I'm sorry, I also don't drink." she added.

"Please we insists, Li Lian." Mo Huan said persistently. "Or else you do not want to accept Singer's Xie apology?" the man spoke with a frown this time pressing her to go.

Xie Hue Lin took a step behind, "Perhaps are you still angry?"

"Mistress, should I teach them a lesson or two?" Violet whispered, clicking her tongue at the two.

"That's not necessary." she replied, smiling then looking up to nodded, "I'm not angry, Hue Lin. But it is work matter but if you insist very much, then I have no choice but to come."

Wei Mo Ran walked out from the studio, her one hand was on her phone as she dashed to the elevator. She had just received a bad news. The stage where Li Lian was supposed to danced at broke when a crewman walked on the stage. If it was Li Lian at the time who had danced on the stage, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her.
