Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Top of the World!

Hearing Xiao Zheng’s voice, Chu Xiaoran pursed her lips and suddenly burst into tears, then threw herself into Xiao Zheng’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably as all her grievances exploded.

Since her debut, she had always taken her career very seriously, striving relentlessly, and had never once treated any of her fans with disregard. Yet now, because of this incident, she was being cursed by her fans.

At this point, Chu Xiaoran was completely at a loss, and she understood that, once this affair spread, her future was utterly ruined.

"Xiao Zheng, what should I do?"

Chu Xiaoran cried out.

She felt like a helpless little girl, seeking even the slightest hope, but she herself knew that such hope did not exist.

Ah Bai, standing by, also started crying. As her manager, she had witnessed firsthand how hard Chu Xiaoran had worked. Now, with this situation unfolding, it was naturally devastating for her.

At the same time, she was filled with intense regret. If only she hadn’t persuaded Chu Xiaoran to agree to the lip-syncing this time, then none of this would have happened.

In the distance backstage, Fatty Wang and Boss He, having seen this scene, exchanged looks and both revealed smug smiles, like two wolves who had succeeded in their scheme.

"Heh heh heh, letting this little girl provoke me, huh. Now, I want to see what courage she has left to be arrogant in front of me," Fatty Wang thought maliciously.

Thinking this, a conspiratorial glint suddenly flashed in Fatty Wang’s eyes. Although he was a director with dubious ethics, he had a keen eye for people.

He could see that at this moment, Chu Xiaoran was deeply committed to her dream of becoming a big star. Even after such an incident, it was unlikely she would give up.

"Heh heh heh, later, I’ll contact her and give her a few opportunities. In that situation, won’t Chu Xiaoran have no choice but to seize that chance tightly? Then, I can do whatever I want,"

Fatty Wang thought wickedly.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng, with a slight frown, looked at Chu Xiaoran crying in his arms. He was somewhat moved by her perseverance. After a moment’s thought, he gently pushed her away, saying,

"Stay here, leave the rest to me. I’ll make sure everything is taken care of."

With that, Xiao Zheng left Chu Xiaoran and walked onto the stage.

Watching him do this, not only Chu Xiaoran and Ah Bai, but also Mr. Liu were taken aback. They didn’t understand what Xiao Zheng was planning to do at this time.

Mr. Liu stomped his foot and cursed, "This bastard, what’s he doing going up there now? Is he trying to cause trouble?"

He wanted to go up and stop him, but thinking of Xiao Zheng’s indifferent gaze before, a wave of fear surged in his heart. Although he wanted to take action, he simply didn’t dare to move.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang and Boss He were also stunned, asking, "What’s this guy up to now?"

Fatty Wang still remembered Xiao Zheng, and his hatred for Xiao Zheng was even greater than for Chu Xiaoran, because it was Xiao Zheng who had embarrassed him in that last conflict.

After Xiao Zheng got on stage, he picked up the microphone and said to the audience below, "Everyone, please listen to me explain. This matter isn’t as simple as you think. Xiao Ran had no choice."

Just as he was about to continue, the audience below burst into an uproar, and people started yelling,

"What are you? Speaking for Chu Xiaoran here, huh? Lip-syncing is lip-syncing, there’s nothing to clear!"

"Get off the stage, get off the stage!"

"Hmph, Chu Xiaoran made a mistake, does she think she can just avoid it? Now, the thing she should do most is get on stage and apologize to us!"

These audience members are now all emotionally charged.

In fact, besides Chu Xiaoran’s fans, most people here are just unrelated bystanders. It’s just a case of lip-syncing, and they didn’t really care that much.

However, people tend to follow the crowd, and under the influence of Fatty Wang’s men setting the pace, they all became excited. The thought of being able to curse at a celebrity and reduce her to tears brought about a twisted sense of pleasure.

Under these influences, the situation evolved to this stage.

Although Chu Xiaoran’s fans were her staunchest supporters at the beginning, the lip-syncing incident was real, and most of their love turned into hate.

Thus, the ones cursing the loudest were ironically Chu Xiaoran’s fans. Their language was almost unbearable to hear, and Chu Xiaoran, hearing these words backstage, cried again.

Xiao Zheng, holding the microphone and seeing the noisy crowd, also lost his temper and yelled, ’All of you, shut the fuck up!’

The quality of the microphone was very good. As Xiao Zheng roared, the entire venue immediately quieted down.

The crowd stared at Xiao Zheng in stunned silence, completely shocked that he would curse at them!

Backstage, Mr. Liu, seeing this, became even more anxious, almost unable to resist the urge to rush forward and pull Xiao Zheng back.

"Damn it, who the hell do you think you are, telling us to shut up just like that?"

"We came here, paid money, just to hear her lip-sync. If I wanted to hear fake singing, I could have just gone online."

"You’re so arrogant, if you’re so capable, why don’t you sing one yourself!"

Naturally, the audience was not intimidated by Xiao Zheng. After a moment of calm, they stirred up clamors again, many shouting for Xiao Zheng to prove his capability by singing a song!

The implied message was, if you can’t sing, don’t be here and embarrass yourself!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Zheng, with a smile, said, "Since everyone wants me to sing a song, I shall respectfully comply."

The audience was stunned once again.

This man doesn’t play by the rules!

Even backstage, Chu Xiaoran, Ah Bai, and Mr. Liu were utterly confused. They didn’t understand why Xiao Zheng would suddenly do this.

Firstly, they didn’t know what purpose Xiao Zheng singing at this moment served. Secondly, even if Xiao Zheng really could sing, what could possibly be salvaged from this situation now?

Fatty Wang and Boss He were also baffled. However, at this time, there was nothing much they could do to meddle, and they could only watch from behind.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng on the stage, holding the microphone, addressed everyone, "Now I’ll perform a classic old song for you, ’Top of the World.’"

Then, Xiao Zheng started.

A deep, husky voice, as if carrying the weight of years, slowly began to resonate.

This song was very classic and very old.
