Chapter 115: It’s Completely Over For Yan Zijing!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Shen Ruojing looked calmly at Bai Shanshan.
She had just done a psychological assessment for Bai Shanshan and knew how serious her mental pressure was. She had just been agitated and was at the weakest point in her life.
She would feel panic even if there were more than three people backstage, let alone being able to face the crowd.
Ye Wei had said that she could only undergo treatment after she slimmed down and regained her confidence. Hence, he had told Shen Ruojing not to interfere now lest Bai Shanshan’s condition aggravate.
Despite being in such a condition, despite being the frail and useless Bai Shanshan, despite being the Bai Shanshan who had been constantly subject to brainwashing, she still stood out for Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing could tell that Bai Shanshan’s entire body was trembling slightly.
She knew that Bai Shanshan wanted to look at the audience but didn’t dare to do so. She could see Bai Shanshan’s anxious and fearful gaze as she tried hard to keep her gaze on the floor.
Hence, Shen Ruojing unconsciously clenched her fist.
–
Earlier, Chu Cimo, who was in the audience seat, was stunned.
He stared at Bai Shanshan in disbelief.
This was his first time listening to Yan Zijing singing live.
It sounded different from when he listened from the computer. The stereo sound that was coming in from all directions gradually integrated with the voice he had heard many years ago.
They sounded too alike.
This voice was the voice he had heard back then.
Chu Cimo was astounded too.
After that, he saw Yan Zijing and Shen Ruojing in an argument.
Although Shen Ruojing was wearing a mask and seated with the judging panel, she had seen her wearing this white dress and holding a feather mask backstage. Therefore, he knew that White Feather was Shen Ruojing.
Chu Cimo was caught in a predicament.
Who should he be biased toward when the person he was going to woo and his future sister-in-law got into a conflict?
Therefore, Chu Cimo took out his phone, took a clip of the scene, and then sent it to Chu Cichen. He also sent a message with it. [Bro, who should I pick between girlfriend and sister-in-law?]
He then continued to watch the argument on stage.
Next!
He saw Bai Shanshan getting on stage, holding onto a microphone, and singing.
Her voice sounded exactly the same as the voice from earlier!
Chu Cimo was dumbfounded. He looked at the stage in disbelief and then at Yan Zijing. Just like the live audience and the people watching in front of their screens, he was completely flummoxed.
He suddenly didn’t understand what was going on!
Yan Zijing was stunned as well.
Even Yan Zihao, who was below the stage, was stumped.
They had thought of many stage mishap possibilities and readied many solutions to deal with them. For example, Yan Zihao had thought of a solution the first moment for the coughing incident the other time.
But now!
This situation was beyond their control.
The moment Bai Shanshan got on stage, there was no turning the tables around.
Yan Zijing was the first to react to the situation. She immediately pointed to Bai Shanshan and shouted, “Security! Security! Someone got on stage without permission! Chase her off!”
There was panic in her voice.
Hearing this, Yan Zihao came back to his senses. He immediately brought two people with him and dashed up on stage. They grabbed onto Bai Shanshan and wanted to drag her off the stage.
Shen Ruojing stood up abruptly and was about to dash over when she saw a figure rapidly charging over, blocking the security guards from Bai Shanshan.
Chu Cimo looked at Bai Shanshan at a close distance.
Only now did he notice that her eyes were closed and her entire body was trembling. She didn’t dare to look at the audience at all.
“Bai Shanshan! What are you doing?!”
Yan Zihao gave a warning in a low voice.
Bai Shanshan’s singing paused.
The surrounding music also stopped together with her voice.
Bai Shanshan then opened her panicky eyes and looked at Yan Zihao.
Yan Zijing, who was at the side, also spoke up, “Bai Shanshan! Look at yourself! Look at the audience here!”
Bai Shanshan looked over…
There was an immense number of people and everyone’s gaze was staring at her.
There was curiosity, contemplation, and contempt in their gazes.
“Who is this fatty?”
“Was she singing earlier? Her voice sounded so similar to Yan Zijing!”
“My god! What is this situation?”
The audience hadn’t realized what was happening and didn’t understand what the commotion was about. They were all discussing amongst themselves privately.
Bai Shanshan became even more anxious.
Her hands couldn’t even hold onto the microphone, and she lost her voice instantly.
When Yan Zijing saw her in this state, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Why aren’t you singing anymore? Go on, continue singing!”
Yan Zijing was so angry that she gritted her teeth, saying to the people below the stage, “What is with the security guards arranged by the production team? How can you let people get on stage easily?”
Only then did the audience come back to their senses. Although they were dissatisfied with the two consecutive stage mishaps Yan Zijing had, the singing had only stopped because they were too agitated today.
“Who is this?”
“That’s right. Where is this lunatic from?”
“She’s so fat! Yet she still dares to go on stage to embarrass herself?”
Many mocking and questioning voices rang out, making it even harder for Bai Shanshan to speak up. She tried hard to open her mouth and waved her hands, wanting to say something. (That’s not it, I didn’t, I…)
When she was unable to bring out her voice, a cold electronic voice rang out.
“This person is Yan Zijing’s replacement singer.”
Shen Ruojing slowly made her way up to the stage and stood next to Yan Zijing.
Yan Zijing narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Teacher White Feather, you’re really trying very hard to slander me. You’re saying that she’s my replacement singer? Do you have evidence for saying that?”
Shen Ruojing said calmly, “The voice just now is enough evidence!”
However, Yan Zijing refused to admit to it. “That was probably a playback of my recording! Unless you can get her to sing a few more lines without any accompaniment!”
It was impossible for Bai Shanshan to sing in her current condition. She had lost her voice!
However, Shen Ruojing said, “You don’t admit that she’s your replacement singer? Sure. Why don’t you sing a verse for everyone without any accompaniment as well?”
Yan Zijing bit her lips. “Why should I sing just because you ask me to? You guys are the ones who said that I faked my singing, so you’ll have to show the evidence. Why should I be the one to prove my innocence?”
The matter was caught at a standstill.
Yan Zijing had decided that she wasn’t going to sing anymore. After leaving this stage, she was going to announce that she had hurt her throat and was going to leave the singing industry. Thereafter, she would also make sure that Bai Shanshan would never be able to make a sound again in this lifetime!
She glared fiercely at Bai Shanshan.
Seeing this, Bai Shanshan shivered again. However, at the next moment, a big and warm hand grabbed hers.
Bai Shanshan looked at her hand and then at Chu Cimo.
She saw that there were bits of starlight in the man’s eyes. He grinned and said slowly, “Come, let’s sing together…”
“…Light is up ahead, we will head there together. Do you want to? Let’s go! We have to advance courageously forward, not fearing any difficulties!…”
Tears welled up in Bai Shanshan’s eyes.
She hadn’t expected that the accompaniment she had given to him back in junior high would come back to save her today.
She slowly found her voice back and sang along with him. Her voice was clear and beautiful. Chu Cimo didn’t have a microphone, so his voice didn’t ring out. However, her voice spread through the entire hall!
Everyone had ears and could make their own judgment.
Yan Zijing’s voice was so unique that only very few people could imitate her all these years.
Bai Shanshan’s voice was indeed the voice they were familiar with…
Yan Zijing stumbled. She knew that it was completely over for her!
She couldn’t help but shouted, “Bai Shanshan, do you think that you’ll be able to debut just because it’s over for me? With your image, no one will like you! No composers will write songs for you either!”
“I’ll write for her.”
