A piece ended, and suddenly there was a soft sound, someone in the front row clapping.
This applause was like cold water entering boiling oil, waking up the silence, and the entire auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.
Gu Shiting was also awakened by this deafening applause, came to his senses, and clapped vigorously.
Sheng Tang’s performance just now was graceful and gentle, and her singing voice was like the music of heaven.
"Is that Sheng Tang? She’s lost so much weight!"
"My God, that fat girl isn’t fat at all now, she looks quite normal like this, how did she lose weight?"
"She sang so well, not inferior to Lan Fei’s million-dollar sound engineer."
Sheng Tang’s performance amazed the crowd.
Sheng Tang’s younger brother stood up, not only applauding but also whistling; instead, Sheng Tang’s parents and grandmother looked a bit solemn.
Especially the grandmother, her brows slightly furrowed.
Jiang Baocu was also extremely excited, preparing to turn back and say something to the grandmother, but seeing her expression, he was a bit surprised.
The grandmother realized someone was looking at her, collected her expression, and looked at Jiang Baocu with a smile: "What’s the matter, Bao Chu?"
"Nothing, nothing." Jiang Baocu laughed, "How did you find Sheng Tang’s performance?"
"Very good." The grandmother smiled.
Her smile was very faint.
Jiang Baocu was bewildered.
Sheng Tang’s parents and grandmother especially doted on her, there was no doubt about it, and they all knew that Sheng Tang’s ambition was to enter the entertainment industry.
In that case, why, when Sheng Tang’s performance today was so brilliant, did they seem so unhappy?
Jiang Baocu couldn’t figure it out, just assuming there was some other hidden reason.
Sitting in the middle, Qi Lin’s parents were also clapping vigorously.
Mrs. Qi said to her husband: "It was also this girl last time who saved Qi Lin from the rooftop with a song, she’s really amazing..."
Mr. Qi’s face turned slightly dark.
The matter of Qi Lin jumping off the building, he found very humiliating, and felt his son was incompetent, not wanting to hear his wife mention it.
But Mrs. Qi seemed to act nonchalant.
"Her singing is very powerful and touching, isn’t it?" Mrs. Qi smiled, "And she’s pretty!"
Mr. Qi said: "She sang very well, she could participate in some sort of talent show."
Currently, the talent shows on the market were all the rage, making many big and small stars famous.
"Yes, I also said so." Mrs. Qi smiled.
In the blink of an eye, she saw their son in a daze, lightly nudging him: "You haven’t been in conflict with Sheng Tang lately, have you?"
Qi Lin was very impatient: "No!"
"You two shouldn’t hold grudges anymore, her parents are here today too, shall we invite their whole family for a meal?" Mrs. Qi asked.
She was both asking her son and her husband.
Mr. Qi: "We should invite them, since they saved your son, we must show some gratitude."
Mrs. Qi nodded.
She thought Qi Lin would disagree, and was about to persuade him, but unexpectedly Qi Lin first froze, then raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a bit of joy flashing by.
He nodded: "Alright."
He agreed so readily.
Mrs. Qi glanced at him again, seeing that he showed no sign of unhappiness, and felt completely relieved.
Sheng Tang came off the stage and happened to run into Gu Jiahui.
Gu Jiahui pushed up his glasses and still had that very gentle smile: "The performance was wonderful, the audience loved it, congratulations."
"Thank you, and I wish you a successful performance too, senior." Sheng Tang said.
Gu Jiahui nodded.
Sheng Tang sat down in front of the makeup mirror, planning to erase a bit of her stage makeup.
Gu Jiahui approached, sitting beside her and asked: "The day after tomorrow is your birthday, may I take you out for a meal?"
Sheng Tang: "I’ll be celebrating with my family, sorry."
"Then I’ll give you a birthday present, you won’t mind, will you?" Gu Jiahui smiled.
Sheng Tang solemnly said: "I would, senior, please don’t go to any expense."
Gu Jiahui reached out, lightly patting the top of her head, smiling without saying a word.
