Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Zhao Xinlian Is Going on a Blind Date? Second Update

Seeing that Lin Ruoyun seemed truly upset, her close friend stopped teasing her and turned her gaze back to the stage.

After uttering a few perfunctory words, Chen Wei handed the microphone back to Liu Meng.

Chen Wei had not intended to let the public know that he was the songwriter, but hiding his identity forever wasn’t a good idea either.

Liu Meng did not want to stand in for Chen Wei anymore either; she knew nothing about writing lyrics or composing music, let alone explaining Chen Wei’s pieces and lyrics clearly during interviews.

It was simply too profound.

She would frequently be left speechless by questions.

Despite Liu Meng’s consistent non-responses, there were substantial rumors outside that she absolutely had a ghostwriter.

Liu Meng believed it was time to clarify everything; once Chen Wei’s identity was revealed, she wouldn’t need to keep up the charade.

Relieved! Very relieved!

At this time, the Zhao Family.

At the dining table, Zhao Xinlian was having lunch with her parents, Zhao Chungang and Li Meihai.

Silence prevailed, with no one speaking. It was eerily quiet, the atmosphere even colder than that of strangers.

Perhaps finding the silence unbearably awkward, Li Meihai took the initiative to break the deadlock, "Xinlian, why have you been so sullen lately? Is that scoundrel Chen Wei unhappy about being divorced without a penny and pestering you again? Asking you for money?"

Bang!

Zhao Chungang, beating Zhao Xinlian to it, angrily slammed his hand on the table, "He wouldn’t dare! If he does, I’ll break his damn legs!"

"Dad, Mom, it’s nothing like that. Don’t jump to conclusions. He and I have completely cut ties, totally. There’s nothing left, no ties at all." After a few days of adjustment, Zhao Xinlian could now manage to eat some food, but only to satisfy hunger or, more accurately, to ward off starvation.

"Good riddance! That loser is no match for our Zhao family! Being with him would only lead to a life of suffering and not even having enough to eat!" Zhao Chungang had always had a poor relationship with Chen Wei, and even the mention of him would anger him.

"Dad, he’s not as bad as you’re describing," Zhao Xinlian said, believing she wasn’t making excuses for Chen Wei but rather that her father’s comments didn’t align with the truth. Saying such things didn’t make her feel any better, but rather gave her a false sense of moral high ground.

She was certain of that much.

"What do you mean he’s not as bad as I’m saying? Why are you defending that good-for-nothing? Don’t tell me you regret divorcing him?" Zhao Chungang asked, worried.

"No." Zhao Xinlian frowned, urging her parents not to jump to wild conclusions, "My relationship with him now is just like strangers, with no contact whatsoever from now on. Let’s not mention him again; I don’t want to hear about his affairs."

"Right, let’s eat, let’s eat, no more talk of him. It’s all in the past." Li Meihai picked up the remote control, "Here, let’s watch some TV while we eat."

Turning on the TV, it was showing entertainment news.

The male host spoke clearly, "Today, the legendary lyricist and composer behind the youngest Queen in the music industry, Liu Meng, has finally stepped into the limelight at the calling of his fans, moving from behind the scenes to center stage. Looking at the photo, he seems even younger and more handsome than we imagined..."

"How could it be him!" Li Meihai gasped in shock upon seeing the person in the photograph.

Even though Chen Wei was better dressed and much cleaner than before, she immediately recognized the man in the photograph. It was undoubtedly Chen Wei, 100 percent!

"Chen Wei! Why is he on TV?" Zhao Chungang’s face was equally grim.

If it hadn’t been for this news, he would never have thought Chen Wei was the type to appear on TV. With his loser ways, he’d only embarrass himself, perhaps fit to play a clown and make everyone laugh.

But the reality was completely contrary to what Zhao Chungang had imagined. Not only had Chen Wei appeared on TV, but he had also shed his loser image, now appearing confident and handsome. Unbelievably, he was even associated with a big star and had become a lyricist and composer!

Chen Wei?

Zhao Xinlian turned around to look, and indeed she saw Chen Wei on TV, showing a brief clip of him speaking at a celebration event.

"He wrote those songs?" Zhao Xinlian doubted what she was seeing and hearing.

How could Chen Wei possibly have such talent?

"Could this be some kind of joke news?" Zhao Chungang asked Li Meihai, unwilling to let it go.

"This is Yangshi News. How could it be fake?" Li Meihai shook his head, "Who would’ve thought that after divorcing our Xinlian, he’d go off to become a lyricist and composer."

"Hmph." Zhao Chungang scoffed disdainfully, "Just dumb luck. He’s just writing some lousy lyrics. How much money can that make? What kind of future can that lead to?"

"Dad, you like that song Winter Snow, that was also written by him," Zhao Xinlian suddenly said.

"What! He wrote that song too?" Zhao Chungang quickly suppressed the emotions welling up inside him, took out his phone and clicked to unfavorite the song, "I don’t like it anymore! From now on, I won’t listen to anything he’s written."

"Let’s not watch this anymore, let’s eat, just eat," Li Meihai picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, to avoid Chen Wei causing any upset within the family.

...

A few minutes later.

Zhao Chungang put down his chopsticks but did not get up to leave. His hands were on the table, propping up his body as he stared straight at Zhao Xinlian.

"Dad, why are you staring at me? Aren’t you going to the company?" Feeling his gaze, Zhao Xinlian looked up, puzzled.

"Xinlian, you wasted three years on that good-for-nothing. Now that you’re divorced, I think it’s time you found a man who truly deserves you. Your mother knows a lot of people, she can introduce you to some suitable prospects for an arranged marriage."

Hearing this, Li Meihai immediately perked up, "Yes! Xinlian, both your father and I want to hold our grandchild soon. Let’s find someone respectable to marry, how about that?"

"The Shen Family’s Young Master Shen I think is quite good. His family is wealthy, he’s studious and of good character, and he has no bad habits. Why don’t you take the afternoon off from work? I’ll arrange for you to meet him. Sit down and have a good chat, see if there’s any common interests or chemistry, how about that?"

"Dad, Mom, I’m not interested in that right now, I just want to focus on my job," Zhao Xinlian wanted to refuse.

But Zhao Chungang grew agitated at her response, "You’re not still hung up on that scumbag because he appeared on TV, hoping to get back together with him, are you? All that talk about cutting ties completely; were you just deceiving us?"

"Dad, I’m not!" Zhao Xinlian didn’t understand why Zhao Chungang would jump to such a conclusion.

He didn’t know anything at all.

"If you truly have no such thoughts, then obediently listen to your mother this afternoon and go on the arranged date with Young Master Shen. He already liked you, if it weren’t for your insistence on marrying that loser three years ago to fulfill your grandfather’s last wish, we would have been family by now. How good that would have been, both for you and the company."
