Sweet Beauty

In order to attend this program, Wei Xiaoqing had specially learned to cook this dish from her aunt for a week. Originally, she thought this was just a gourmet show, and she wanted to use this opportunity to show her face and advertise her new film. Once the recording finished, she just needed to sit at home and wait for another invitation to come to her. 

She even composed a few lines of poetry on the spur of the moment! 

But she never thought that Wen Ehuang would ask her to sing!

Wei Xiaoqing's face turned red and white. She almost couldn't hold it in anymore. She pouted and pretended to be weak as she said in a wronged manner. "My throat is really uncomfortable, it's inconvenient for me to sing."

"So it's like that!" Wen Ehuang looked at the pot in Wei Xiaoqing's hand and said with a smile. "Now, you just need to cover the pot and stew it for a while, right?"

Wei Xiaoqing thought Wen Ehuang had let her off and changed the topic to the dishes, giving her a way out. She immediately became happy. "Yes, it will only take ten minutes to stew it."

With that, Wei Xiaoqing covered the pot with the lid, and with the spatula in her hand, she teasingly said to the camera, "I often cook this dish for my parents at home. My parents love to eat the dish I made."

Wen Ehuang glanced at Jiang Huifang, who was waiting below the stage with a faint smile on her lips. "Since we have to wait another ten minutes, how about this? Wei Xiaoqing, during the party back then, you played the guitar, right? Everyone loved your performance and since your throat is uncomfortable today, you can just play the guitar for us."

"What?" Wei Xiaoqing looked at Wen Ehuang with her eyes wide open. "Playing guitar?"

Wen Ehuang nodded. "That's right. We're doing a live broadcast today. While waiting for the dish, we can't possibly just stand here and wait, can we?"

"I ...I ..." Wei Xiaoqing's heart was beating fast. Her fingers gripped the spatula tightly. She then pretended to be calm and said, "But I don't bring my guitar."

"Heh, don't worry. We have it!" Wen Ehuang waved her hand towards the staff member. A man in a black suit walked over with a guitar in hand and handed it to her.

Wen Ehuang took the guitar and strummed it twice before handing it to Wei Xiaoqing. "Come on."

Wei Xiaoqing stared at the guitar that Wen Ehuang handed over with her mouth agape. Large beads of cold sweat seeped out of her forehead. 

She can't play the guitar. 

What should she do?!

Wen Ehuang was stunned. "What's the matter?"

Wei Xiaoqing bit her lower lip and looked at the guitar as if she saw the end of her life. She took a few steps back with a spatula in her hand, her expression almost tearful. "I...I...I...I don't want to play guitar."

Wen Ehuang still maintained a formal smile. She deliberately let out a "hmm" before tilting her head to look at Wei Xiaoqing. "Why? Isn't it easy to play the guitar?"

Wei Xiaoqing was like a donkey being led by the nose by Wen Ehuang. She quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, it's easy, and if you want to watch me playing guitar, you can watch it online."

"Oh!" Wen Ehuang was enlightened. "I heard that you're quite good at piano too and I don't remember you playing it in public before. Since you can't play the guitar, just play the piano!"

She clapped her hands.

Two staff members in black suits pushed a piano over.

Wei Xiaoqing immediately felt her scalp tingle. Piano?

The program crew really put in a lot of effort in this program. Even the piano was prepared for her.

Wei Xiaoqing had learned to play the piano, but it was a terrible thing to learn. She hadn't touched the piano for seven or eight years, so how could she? The lesson she learned was also a beginner's lesson, she can't play it here!

When Jiang Huifang, who was standing below the stage, saw Wei Xiaoqing's panicked expression, she finally realized that this program had set them up.

Other celebrities who participated in the previous episodes recorded this program in advance, but they had to do it live. There were hundreds of thousands of netizens watching it and even if Jiang Huifang and Wei Xiaoqing wanted to cut this scene, they were unable to.

There was no room for redemption at all.

Besides, although Wen Ehuang's questions were incisive, she had never embarrassed any celebrities before.

Jiang Huifang became anxious and shouted over her lungs. "Wen Ehuang, what are you doing? Didn't we agree that we won't be talking about music today and will only be talking about movies?"

Wen Ehuang looked at her in surprise. "Isn't Wei Xiaoqing a singer? So why should we talk about movies?"

Jiang Huifang was so angry that she rushed up on stage and grabbed Wei Xiaoqing's hand. "Let's go. We don't have to record anymore. What kind of garbage program is this?! Such a bad gourmet program, yet people are watching it? Humph!"

Wei Xiaoqing was still holding a spatula when Jiang Huifang dragged her out of the stage. As she was about to throw a spatula at Wen Ehuang, four men in black clothes suddenly blocked their path.

Wen Ehuang walked over unhurriedly, smiling and saying, "What are you doing? I didn't make things difficult for Wei Xiaoqing. She's a singer, of course, I will ask her to sing a little for this program. When she said that her throat wasn't uncomfortable, I didn't make things difficult for her and only asked her to play the guitar."

Jiang Huifang was so angry that her face turned green. She felt that this Wen Ehuang was purposely looking for trouble.

She had clearly said that she would not chat with Wei Xiaoqing about music, but now, she suddenly turned around and went back on her words?

If they were not purposely looking for trouble with them, then what else could it be?

Jiang Huifang immediately made a ruckus without reason. "And you still said you weren't trying to make things difficult? Xiaoqing's hands are injured. She can't play the guitar nor the piano. You forced her to do this. Isn't this too much?!"

"Huh?" Wen Ehuang was stunned as she looked down at Wei Xiaoqing's hand. "Her throat is uncomfortable and her hands are injured? But when I saw her cooking just now, her hands were pretty nimble, so I couldn't tell she was injured."

Jiang Huifang was rendered speechless by these words. Her chest heaved with rage, but she didn't know how to defend herself.

After a pause, she used her unique skill of being shameless. "I don't care, since you didn't give Xiaoqing any money to sing and play, we won't do it! We're not recording this program anymore. You can find whoever you want and record it. We won't keep you company anymore!"

She tried to drag Wei Xiaoqing along with her, but four men blocked her path.

"Do you really think you can run away just like that? You guys have signed the contract and taken the money!" Wen Ehuang's face instantly darkened. She laughed mockingly. "Don't say I didn't give you enough money. I gave Wei Xiaoqing double the appearance fee, so it is not too much for me to ask her to sing, right?"

Jiang Huifang really didn't expect that the double appearance fee mentioned previously would trap her. At that time, she really thought that Wen Ehuang was only willing to pay a high price to invite Wei Xiaoqing because she couldn't find anyone else.

Wen Ehuang crossed her arms and took a step towards them.. When she saw Wei Xiaoqing hiding behind Jiang Huifang, looking as weak as a quail, she couldn't help but laugh. "Wei Xiaoqing, tell me yourself, is it too much if I ask you to sing?"
