651: Chapter 640 651: Chapter 640 Only a few words were all it took from Song Yun to slightly stun Xiao Hua.
Could it be that he enjoyed asking questions he already knew the answer to?
Song Yun slowly squatted down to Xiao Hua’s height, “Tell me carefully who hit you.
You don’t have to be afraid to tell the truth thinking someone will retaliate against you; with me here, no one would dare do such a thing.”
Xiao Hua numbly pointed at Guo Meimei below the stage.
“She slapped you, did she?” Song Yun’s voice was very gentle.
“Yes!” Xiao Hua nodded.
“Why?” Song Yun asked.
“She wanted me to withdraw from the competition,” Xiao Hua honestly answered.
“Did you refuse?”
“Yeah!
If I can, I want to rely on myself to save my mother,” Xiao Hua firmly said.
“Good kid.” Song Yun extended his hand to pat Xiao Hua’s head, then stood up, walked down the stage, and said to Shen Yan, “Have everyone cleared out first.”
Shen Yan frowned but did not ask any further questions.
He instructed the scene directors to evacuate the crowd of extras to the outside.
Then Song Yun had Shen Yan clear some waiting contestants as well and briefly explained the situation to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan’s face turned dark.
He waved at Guo Meimei who stood off to the side, “Come here.”
Guo Meimei sensed trouble might be brewing, but she was still somewhat confident in her own charm.
“Young Master, what’s the matter?” Guo Meimei asked with a smile.
“Did you hit Xiao Hua?” Shen Yan inquired.
“This…
Young Master, I accidentally just…” Guo Meimei looked pitifully at Shen Yan.
“Xiao Hua, come over here,” Song Yun called out to Xiao Hua on the stage.
Hesitant at first, Xiao Hua, holding her guitar, walked down.
“Slap her in the face,” Song Yun said softly as Xiao Hua came closer.
Xiao Hua stalled, and so did Guo Meimei.
Before Xiao Hua could speak, Guo Meimei cried out, “Young Master, it was an accident.”
“Shut up,” Shen Yan barked.
“No,” Xiao Hua shook her head, as stubborn as ever.
“Oh?” Song Yun was somewhat surprised.
In his view, if someone dared to slap him, he would definitely fight back.
Now, he was clearly supporting Xiao Hua, and yet she still refused to retaliate?
“I don’t like hitting people,” Xiao Hua said lightly.
“Hahahaha!!!
Interesting, very interesting,” Song Yun burst into laughter.
He found himself increasingly appreciating this girl who sang like an angel, though she was only average looking, her character was exceedingly rare.
“Alright, Xiao Hua, since you don’t want to hit anyone, then let it be.
I’ll acknowledge you as my god-sister, how about that?” Song Yun said with a laugh, genuinely wanting to help this little girl.
Xiao Hua looked at Song Yun’s sincere face, hesitated for a moment.
Song Yun had backed her up, which was kind enough, and now suggesting to take her as his god-sister was another act of kindness.
If she refused again, it would really be somewhat unreasonable.
And having such a powerful person as a god-brother might increase the chances of her mother’s illness being cured?
Xiao Hua thought for a moment and then smiled sweetly, “Can I also have a brother?”
“Of course, your character and nature are good enough for me to acknowledge you as my sister!” Song Yun laughed.
“Then alright, Xiao Hua acknowledges you as a brother,” Xiao Hua said with a smile.
“Good, reserved yet not prudish; indeed, a very nice character trait, Yuxue come over, from now on Xiao Hua is also your god-sister,” Song Yun said joyfully.
Apart from Song Yuxue, the other women looked at Song Yun curiously.
Could it be that Song Yun was using the excuse of taking someone as his sister to hit on girls?
But seeing the genuine smile on Song Yun’s face, the women let go of their doubts.
Perhaps this guy wasn’t so lascivious after all?
“Shen Yan, it’s not that I’m not giving you face, but this is my sister.
Guo Meimei has hit my sister.
What do you think should be done?” Song Yun asked after laughing.
“What else can we do?
Ban her,” Shen Yan said, looking at Guo Meimei, who dared call herself his girlfriend, and muttered bitterly, it’s not that Shen Yan was ruthless; it was simply a transactional relationship.
You sleep with me; I let you advance, nothing more than that.
“Young Master, I know I was wrong,” Guo Meimei hurriedly grabbed Shen Yan’s hand.
“Let go,” Shen Yan flicked his arm and freed himself from Guo Meimei’s grasp, then said, “If you’re wise, withdraw by yourself; perhaps next year you’ll still have a chance.” Mengjie shook her head, sitting at the judge’s table, as if she hadn’t seen anything that had happened.
After handling these issues, Shen Yan let the crowd of extras back in, and with the lights and cameras ready, the recording of the show resumed.
Xiao Hua took the stage, speaking into the microphone, “The next song is also one I wrote.
It’s called ‘For You, For Me.’ I hope everyone likes it.”
Xiao Hua began to sing on stage, while Shen Yan, keeping a serious face below, said to Song Yun in a low voice, “Tsk, tsk, you are clever!
As a brother, I’m thoroughly impressed.”
“How so?” Song Yun looked at Shen Yan, puzzled.
“This god-sister, isn’t she just a ‘god’ (fourth tone) sister?
Haha,” Shen Yan laughed lecherously.
“Damn it, can you not be so lewd!
I’m serious.
This child really makes me feel sorry for her, reminds me a bit of myself when I was young.
Seeing her, I really wanted to help her, which is why I took her as my god-sister.”
“Yes, yes, you can’t ‘kiss’ (qin) a sister, but you have a chance to ‘do’ (gan) a sister, right?
This ‘god’ (gan) sister is much better than a ‘real’ (qin) sister,” Shen Yan said, showing an understanding look.
“We are not from the same world,” Song Yun shook his head.
By evening, the elimination round was over, determining the top 20 contestants.
They would then be trained and packaged by talent agencies, ready for the 20 to 10 competition in the upcoming period.
Guo Meimei made the smart choice to withdraw.
She knew,
if she didn’t withdraw and went up, she would surely be eliminated, which would also offend Shen Yan.
Only waiting until next year, she wondered if she could come back again!
Guo Meimei glared hatefully at Xiao Hua, who had successfully advanced to the top 20, secretly vowing never to let this woman win the championship!
“Shen Yan, don’t blame me for not giving you face,” after the event dispersed, Song Yun pulled Shen Yan aside and walked in front.
Shen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, “Aren’t we brothers?”
“Yes.”
“Brothers are as close as limbs, and women are like clothes.
Let’s not talk nonsense; such a trivial matter isn’t worth mentioning.
Even if Guo Meimei wasn’t eliminated today, during the semi-finals or another round, I would have eliminated her anyway,” Shen Yan stated.
