Chapter 500: Chapter 500

"Sixteen years old is a girl’s most splendid beginning, young and beautiful, brimming with vitality within high school walls, but that girl had to drop out due to poverty. Without an education, without connections, the only way for her to survive in the bustling city of X as a minor was to drift through each high-end nightclub that indulged in hedonistic revelry."

"The girl loved to sing, and it seemed she sang with her life itself, touching someone’s heart. Thus, she was taken by that person. Taken into the entertainment circle—perhaps it was love, or perhaps it was the pursuit of a dream—she truly put in great effort, investing far more than the average person. But Heaven rewards the diligent, and she finally won recognition from people all over the world."

"It was summer when she released her first album, and it became an instant hit all over Jiangnan. By winter, her first concert in Beijing sold out immediately, and in December of the same year, she won the title of the Most Popular Female Singer at the music festival."

"That year, everyone said she was a once-in-a-century miracle. Many had become famous overnight, but no one else had ever achieved god-like status with their debut, sweeping the title of queen of the music scene. Some said she was just a flash in the pan, a mere clown on stage, but she proved them wrong. The second year, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years, she released only one album each year, yet she topped the music sales charts annually. Even in the seventh year, when she got married due to pregnancy and stepped out of the limelight for three years, she still held the title of queen of the music scene, unshaken."

"Until this year, she stirred up a sensation with just a single release. Even a famous director said it was hard to find someone like her in ten years—she sang not with technique or voice, but with emotion."

"That’s right, by this point, you all probably already know who the girl I’m talking about is."

Ling Momo paused, and an eerie silence fell over the audience. After a long while, she spoke softly, "It’s Chen Wanru."

Chen Wanru’s experiences had already been well known on the internet for a decade. Now, as Ling Momo recounted them, everyone had realized halfway through that it was her.

However, now as Ling Momo uttered the name Chen Wanru, the atmosphere on-site grew oddly tense.

The faces of the investors and director-judges below turned even uglier.

Ling Momo saw this and knew that what she was doing would offend many, but all of that was already unimportant.

She had made up her mind to do this when Li Qingshen had rejected her. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs noveⅼfire.net

Chen Wanru was wronged; the foundation she had built couldn’t just collapse like that—Momo could only do her best to help her with the limited power she had!

With that thought, Ling Momo felt an increasing sense of conviction in her heart. She opened her mouth once more and said, "Not long ago, due to a well-known scandal, Chen Wanru was accused of being involved with the judges, questioning her decade of achievements. Pressured by public opinion and the judging panel’s desire to demonstrate their fairness, they canceled Chen Wanru’s qualification for this year’s music festival."

"So, tonight’s music festival is still as prosperous as ever, everyone still laughs as before, but who still remembers the once glorious Chen Wanru? Indeed, a phoenix in adversity is less than a chicken, but hasn’t anyone noticed someone missing from tonight’s music festival?"
