"Yes, she started singing with her mom when she was very young, we all guessed that Gu En would go straight into the art troupe after graduating from college." Zhou Chenyue smiled, "But I can’t, when I sing, only the lyrics are right, everything else is wrong. Once I start singing, others will laugh at me!"
He Zhilan chuckled softly, Zhou Chenyue’s personality was indeed very gentle, it seemed like she could get along with anyone. Even though her cousin disliked Gu En so much, when she talked about Gu En, she didn’t hesitate to compliment her. She’s just a particularly pragmatic girl.
After Lin Deng had been entertaining He Zhilan for a while, he joined in the fun with his friends. Gu En was selecting songs with the remote control, occasionally turning her head to ask for the opinions of the group of men behind her. Anyone who made a suggestion, she would help to select that song. If no one spoke, she would just pick some of her own favorite songs. She wasn’t particularly domineering or hogging the microphone.
No one could deny it. Listening to Gu En sing was truly a pleasure. Her vocals could be high or low. Regardless of what she sang, she could make people feel comfortable listening. Even Ding Jinshi would be entranced watching Gu En sing, the expression on his face was so calm that he seemed lost in thought.
Zhou Chenyue suddenly sighed, whispering to He Zhilan, "I really don’t understand, why doesn’t Gu En like my sister? When my sister was studying abroad, her relationship with Lan Li was still very good. Everyone thought that after my sister returned, she would marry Lan Li. Unexpectedly, the two suddenly broke up and things were extremely awkward between them. Since then, my sister has been staying abroad, only returning to China recently."
He Zhilan didn’t know much about Ding Jinshi and Lan Li’s affairs, and even less about either of them as individuals. Therefore, she understood that Zhou Chenyue was just sighing in front of her, not intending to encourage her to say anything to agree with her.
The men were grouped together, being rowdy and sometimes drowning out Gu En’s singing. Over there, Ding Jinshi stood up, not knowing what he was going to do, and left the private room. Afterwards, Ding Long glanced in the direction of the door, stood up, and also left the room.
"Ding Long must have gone out to look for a woman!" Zhou Chenyue noticed the situation over there and made a remark.
"A woman? Your sister?" He Zhilan was taken aback.
"What?" Zhou Chenyue burst out laughing, "I meant he’s looking for the girls in West Building!"
Now He Zhilan understood, it was not surprising that she misunderstood, because Ding Jinshi left first and Ding Long followed close behind. So, as soon as she heard Zhou Chenyue’s words, she got the wrong idea.
As Zhou Chenyue understood Ding Long, after a while, Ding Long returned. However, he wasn’t alone this time. He returned with a group of people, both men and women. Among them was someone He Zhilan recognized, Lan Song. Ding Long’s arm was hooked by a young girl.
However, in a room full of dignitaries, He Zhilan was the least noticeable. So, when Lan Song came in, he didn’t notice He Zhilan. As soon he entered the private room, Lan Song and his group headed over to where Lin Deng and his friends were.
The originally spacious private room suddenly seemed a bit crowded with these new arrivals. Among the people Ding Long brought, many noticed Gu En’s presence and they all headed towards her, quickly surrounding her. Gu En, who had been singing, was abruptly interrupted and looked upset. She glared at Ding Long.
