Chapter 399: Chapter 399 - 399: Too Late for Regret, Utterly Stunned (3)

Translator: _Min_

After a long moment, Yu Xiheng slightly closed his eyes and let out a soft chuckle, “Yes, he should be happy.”

Si Fuqing took another sip of her coke.

She declared that coke would forever be the happiest drink in the world!

The following day, the recording of the show continued.

The news between Lu Ningsheng and her wealthy boyfriend continued to cause ripples online, and MO Yufei was inevitably aware of it.

After enduring a whole day, she finally found a moment alone with Lu Ningsheng as the recording ended.

Taking a deep breath, MO Yufei’s voice trembled, “Your boyfriend… he’s Shen

That was a tycoon who had made it onto the list of young billionaires!

And he bore the surname Shen.

The Shen family of the Sijiu City.

A lofty branch many could not climb.

Lu Ningsheng was from the entertainment industry. How did she catch the eye of the Shen family?

Moreover, Shen Xi had personally confirmed through the Shen Corporation that he had been in a relationship with Lu Ningsheng for five years.

MO Yufei was confident that Lu Ningsheng did not discover her as a fake best friend five years ago, she shared everything with her.

How could she have been completely oblivious to this?!

She was utterly stunned by Lu Ningsheng’s revelation.

“What?” Lu Ningsheng’s expression was indifferent. “Did you think I had to tell you everything?”

MO Yufei stepped back, gritting her teeth, “Lu Ningsheng, you’ve hidden this well! Do you think the Shen family really favors you? With a prestigious household like that, and Shen Xi being so outstanding, the Shen family must have already chosen a suitable lady for him!”

“You’re just a casual fling to him. Are you taking this seriously?” Many stars dream of marrying into wealth, regardless of gender.

MO Yufei was no exception.

She had dated sons from minor families, each of them treating her with disdain.

“Since you’ve asked, I might as well tell you everything,” Lu Ningsheng said with a smile. “Do you remember the guy we met at our alma mater five years ago?”

MO Yufei’s heart skipped a beat, “He was Shen Xi?!”

Shen Xi became famous only three years ago. Five years back, he was virtually unknown.

She and Lu Ningsheng had encountered a very poor student at Hera Music College.

MO Yufei had ignored him, while Lu Ningsheng chose to help.

“Yes,” Lu Ningsheng, with arms crossed, replied. “When I was with him, I didn’t even know about his connection to the Shen family. When he failed in his startup, I worked with him to seek connections. You were probably in some man’s bed. And now you’re here questioning our relationship?”

“Lu Ningsheng, don’t be smug!” MO Yufei’s fingers dug into her palms. “So what if your boyfriend is Shen Xi? Your vocal cords are still damaged, and you’ve lost your career. A woman without a career is bound to be looked down upon eventually!”

“Career?” Lu Ningsheng smiled meaningfully. “Qingqing just offered me a job, so I’m afraid I can’t retire from the industry as you wish.”

MO Yufei scoffed, “Si Fuqing? Her?”

She’s not qualified to introduce you to anyjob in the entertainment industry even after twentyyears.

MO Yufei paid no heed to this revelation, her tone cold, “Lu Ningsheng, I may not surpass you in love, but watch how I trample you in my career.”

Although Lu Ningsheng didn’t mention MO Yufei by name, the netizens, sharp as they were, knew that Universal Century Music used Lu Ningsheng as a shield for MO Yufei.

Universal Century Century’s social media was bombarded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The PR department couldn’t suppress the uproar, nor dared to.

How could they, with the Shen family involved?

“Chairman, Lu Ningsheng went too far this time!” MO Yufei’s agent was furious.

“She’s clearly set us up and dragged Yufei into it.”

“What can we do then? Tell me, what can we do?” The chairman laughed bitterly. “Do you know who Shen Xi is? He’s not just a billionaire; he’s from the Shen family! Most likely the next family head. Can you contend with that?” MO Yufei’s agent opened his mouth but said nothing.

Of course, the scale of the Shen family couldn’t compare to the Yu and Xie families, but it was still a century-old household, far beyond their music company’s reach.

“You should be grateful that the Shen family hasn’t taken action against you,” the chairman said grimly. “It’s fortunate that we’ve invested so much in MO Yufei, or we would’ve dropped her without hesitation over this incident.” The chairman deeply regretted his actions.

If he had known Lu Ningsheng was to be the future lady of the Shen family, he would never have gone to such extremes.

Now, all he could hope for was that MO Yufei would catch the eye of the Oracle official.

Meanwhile, at the Oracle’s official headquarters.

“Are you saying the song has already been chosen?” The middle-aged man was anxious. “But the news was released just two days ago. How could it be decided already?”

The Oracle’s anniversary song was crucial.

Last year’s song involved over a dozen composers and lyricists, taking a month to perfect.

How could this year’s decision be so swift?

“Yes,” Ji Yun’s secretary nodded. “The music video is also in production. It’s still confidential, sir. I’m sorry.”

In the game, the Eastern and Western factions were at odds, mirroring the real-life struggle of the Western Continent for more rights.

They had come confident of victory but left defeated.

Who could the composer be that satisfied the Oracle officials in such a short time?

“Has the singer been decided?” the middle-aged man asked again. “I can recommend someone. She’s won the Hera Music Award twice. Her talent is undeniable!”

“I’m sorry,” the secretary apologized. “The singer is also decided. It’s a top star of Great Xia. Mr. Ji has already instructed marketing to make an announcement.”

“A top star of Great Xia?” The middle-aged man was incredulous and somewhat angry. “Why is it always someone from Great Xia? Last time it was their person, and now it should be our turn.”

And who in the Great Xia Empire has won the Hera Music Award twice?

Even that Su Yang had only won once!

How could they compete with their Western Continent?

The secretary shook her head, “This way, please, sir.”

With no room for negotiation, the middle-aged man left regretfully.
