Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 549 - 31: After Divorce, the Cannon Fodder Joins a Romance Variety Show
[I’ve seen this red dress before, this girl really isn’t picky at all, wearing the same dress for three years]
[Hahaha, our poor little girl can’t afford new clothes, so she keeps wearing the dress from three years ago]
The dress is very beautiful, but it appears often.
Search all over the internet, and whenever it’s an important occasion, Jiang Lai is always wearing this dress.
Today is no different.
No one knows this dress better than Murong Yan.
Because it was a birthday gift he gave to Jiang Lai.
Three years ago, his career was just starting, the company was newly established, and Jiang Lai, as the first artist signed by his company, brought in a substantial amount of money with her popularity.
So on her birthday, Murong Yan asked his secretary to pick out a dress from the mall.
Because he was busy with meetings, he didn’t get to see Jiang Lai’s reaction when she opened the gift, only managing to say "Happy Birthday" over the phone.
After that, this dress became Jiang Lai’s most frequently worn attire for various occasions.
Whether it was the red carpet or variety shows.
Now that the dress appeared before him again, Murong Yan realized he had never really looked at it closely.
Under the lights, the well-preserved dress was spread behind Jiang Lai as she lifted her hands and gently placed them on the piano keys.
The piano sound was warm and lively, allowing a clear sense of the joy of autumn harvest.
Yet within those tones, there was a subtle hint of melancholy and loneliness.
The fluctuations in pitch seemed to let one feel the joy of a girl dancing wildly amidst the harvest, as she waited for her lover to propose with new grains. But as time slowly passed, the lively and beautiful girl gradually lost her vitality.
Overflowing with the joy of harvest, the passionate singing and dancing, the hopeful love, evolving ultimately into helpless sorrow from waiting.
A love story hidden within the harvest was vividly portrayed.
Finally, Jiang Lai lifted her hands and played the last segment.
Smooth, flowing, peaceful, as if the air carried a scent that calmed the spirit.
In a daze, she seemed to be the girl who had experienced it all, regaining her inner peace on this simple open-air stage after extreme joy and sorrow.
The piece concluded.
Below the stage, Hu Peiyuan, who cherished music as life itself, was already in tears.
Beside him, Coco’s eyes were also red. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Even Gao Yanwei clapped silently.
In music, putting aside high level skills, the most important thing left is genuine emotion—from which springs a heartfelt shock.
A simple piano piece seemed like a stream of living water that cleansed the soul, flowing with the piano sounds like a trickling stream soothing the body burdened by the fast-paced life.
A few minutes of silence, applause erupted below the stage.
Even Hu Peiyuan, who previously had no liking for Jiang Lai, stood up clapping hard.
Wiping his tears and looking at Jiang Lai at the same time.
Amidst them, the most silent Murong Yan still immersed himself in his own thoughts.
He felt Jiang Lai’s emotions in the piece.
Previously, he could only bear the love she imperiously offered in almost suffocating care.
But this time, it seemed he experienced it firsthand.
The joy in love, the sadness when neglected, and finally, her release.
The release in the music, however, tightened his heart.
Earlier, he desperately wished Jiang Lai would give up her love for him, set him free.
Yet when she truly let go, he became the indecisive one.
This feeling was not pleasant.
Jiang Lai, dazzling and perfect under the spotlights, stood up to thank the audience, then lifted her dress and walked off the stage.
[Waaah, joining Jiangmen in this life!]
[From anti-fan to admirer, no need to say more, Jiang Lai you’re my goddess!!]
[How many surprises are you going to bring us, your piano playing is just too good]
[It hit me deeply, even someone like me with no musical talent was moved to tears]
[It’s just okay, no need to be so dramatic]
[If you don’t want to hear it then leave! There will always be some flies criticizing fine dining, you’re only fit to eat shit]
[Sister, if you know how to talk, say more]
Zhou Luo took quite a bit of time to sort out his feelings.
At that moment, he only felt that this piece by Jiang Lai was especially played for him.
The breakup back then must have hurt her deeply.
So has she moved on now?
Two men, with pensive looks, were lost in thought.
Liang Qizhou silently adjusted the chair beside him, then took off his suit jacket and spread it on the cold chair.
As Jiang Lai walked over, she hesitated.
"No worries, have a seat, it’s my own clothes, no need to return."
Jiang Lai smiled.
"Teacher Liang is generous."
Seeing Jiang Lai sit beside Liang Qizhou, Shang Qingrao clearly heard a taut nerve in her mind snap.
Immediately following, a sharp, piercing alarm blared in her head.
"Alert! Alert!
Heartbeat Value has dropped too much!
Heartbeat Value has dropped too much!
Host please note, host please note, the strategy system is about to collapse, the strategy system is about to collapse.
Please quickly collect Heartbeat Values.
Please quickly collect Heartbeat Values.
Otherwise, bear the consequences!"
"Ah——!!"
A scream attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone looked over to see Shang Qingrao suddenly clutching her head, screaming loudly for no apparent reason.
Many people were startled.
The director immediately arranged to switch cameras. Although the cameraman was fast, the live stream audience still saw this scene.
[Oh my god, what’s going on, so scary]
[Did Shang Qingrao go crazy? She looks terrifying]
[Could she have been frightened by something?]
[I feel like she was triggered by Jiang Lai]
[Isn’t this a live broadcast accident? Could she be on something?]
Speculation abounded, with questions flooding Shang Qingrao’s social media account, asking what on earth happened to her.
Even the people present were baffled by Shang Qingrao.
Why the sudden screaming?
The director, staring at Shang Qingrao, sighed in frustration.
"What’s wrong? Stop crying, speak up if something’s wrong."
Shang Qingrao, head lowered, kept covering her face and crying.
Her sobs were shaky.
"I... I just saw a rat."
"A rat? Where could a rat come from on the beach?"
The director only felt a headache.
The performance wasn’t even over yet, now the live broadcast could only be temporarily closed, the rest could only be recorded and aired next week.
Shang Qingrao was helped off the scene, and the director explained to the public.
"Qingqing was just startled by a rat, the performance continues."
Coco leaned towards Jiang Lai and whispered.
"The last episode she was performing bug-catching with bare hands, claiming she’s a tough girl scared of nothing, and today she’s so frightened by a rat."
Jiang Lai turned her head and smiled.
"That’s why you should be cautious when creating a persona, otherwise it might flop big time."
Coco nodded emphatically.
"That’s why I never create a persona for myself, afraid that one day I’d forget and get scolded."
