While Linda was shocked, she saw "Mufeng" tightly holding Meng Nianchu's little hand. Her eyebrows knitted together, and she abruptly stood up.
"This is still on the stage. For Mufeng to hold Meng Nianchu's hand like this, it's probably not appropriate, right? I remember Meng Nianchu is a married woman. To be held by another man like this, don't tell me it's just for the show's effect."
She asked sharply.
There were cameras everywhere here, and this scene had already been captured. As a married woman, for Meng Nianchu to be so intimate with Mufeng, she'd surely be scolded by netizens!
Linda slightly raised her chin, and the anger in her eyes gradually turned into smugness.
She thought Meng Nianchu was such a smart person, but unexpectedly, she'd do something so out - of - line on stage!
She was just asking for her own downfall!
Hearing Linda's words, Meng Nianchu wasn't in a hurry to explain. Instead, she curled up a smile. She scanned the audience in the auditorium. Instead of avoiding suspicion, she openly leaned a bit on Mu Junze.
Seeing her actions, Linda sneered, "Miss Meng is so eager to divorce Mr. Mu and be with Mufeng! I never thought that the pure and innocent Miss Meng in the eyes of her fans would turn out to be a promiscuous woman having an affair!"
"I'm afraid Miss Meng's fans, after seeing her actions today, will feel ashamed for ever liking you!"
Every word Linda said was like a stab to the heart, leaving no room for mercy.
Meng Nianchu looked at her, with a natural expression. Her red lips parted slightly as she asked, "How am I having an affair?"
"You've already held hands with Mufeng on stage. Are you still going to lie? So many people are watching!" Linda raised her voice, seemingly trying to convince the audience present of the credibility of her words.
Meng Nianchu blinked her eyes, looking up at Mu Junze innocently. "But this is my husband, Mu Junze."
A buzzing sound filled Linda's head, and it went blank. Mechanically, she looked at the serious - faced man standing beside Meng Nianchu. Only after Meng Nianchu's words did Linda realize that this "Mufeng" didn't have his usual playful smile. Instead, his face was tense, without a trace of a smile.
No wonder she'd felt something was off when "Mufeng" came on stage. It turned out this person wasn't Mufeng at all...
The fans who shipped Meng Nianchu and Mufeng in the audience were also stunned when they heard Meng Nianchu's words.
The expensive tickets they'd bought were actually for a love - show between Meng Nianchu and her husband?!
A feeling of being deceived spread in their hearts. Almost simultaneously, a group of people stood up, and the banners in their hands fell one by one.
Before the fans could say anything, Linda spoke up first to accuse, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me in advance! And none of the audience here knew about this. This is deception to them. How do you have the right to stand on this stage!"
"Refund our money!"
"We want a refund!"
A large group of fans protested collectively.
Meng Nianchu let go of Mu Junze, snatched the host's microphone, and with a serious expression, her calm voice spread from the stage's speakers to every corner of the venue, "It was our fault not to inform everyone here in advance. And we'd already obtained the director's approval for this, so we did it like this."
As soon as she spoke, the noisy fans fell silent instantly, all waiting for Meng Nianchu's explanation.
Meng Nianchu said, "The reason this happened is that my trainee, Mufeng, had a car accident a few days ago."
The auditorium became even quieter.
"I did this out of desperation, but I still deceived you. So I apologize to you first." Meng Nianchu bowed deeply. Five seconds later, when she stood up again, the door behind the stage suddenly opened.
Mufeng, sitting in a wheelchair, rolled over and stopped beside Mu Junze.
When the two extremely similar people stood together, their differences were magnified. Mu Junze's coldness was a style that Mufeng could never imitate, and Mufeng's cheerfulness was something Mu Junze could never learn in his life.
Taking a closer look, their facial features were actually quite different. Mufeng had a gentle and sunny look, while Mu Junze was cold and sharp - featured. They were completely different.
They didn't know how they'd thought the two were very similar before.
Meng Nianchu's voice interrupted the audience's wild thoughts again, "Since the director knew there were many of Mufeng's fans on - site, we all deliberately arranged for Mufeng to sing a song for everyone on - site. Today's competition won't count towards the results, and the real competition will be postponed for half a month."
"If you still don't agree after hearing this, we're willing to be responsible for all the ticket refunds!"
With such a serious attitude towards the matter and an extremely good attitude in solving problems, how could the fans still be angry? They looked at each other, then quietly sat back in their seats, and no one dared to make a sound.
Meng Nianchu let out a sigh of relief, and her smile grew wider. She said, "Then we'll hand over the next stage to Mufeng. Later, we also have something else to tell everyone."
After she finished speaking, she handed the microphone to Mufeng, then led Mu Junze and the four trainees off the stage.
Apparently, all the staff knew very well that Mufeng was going to perform alone. As Meng Nianchu and the others left, slow music started to play.
Mufeng sang the song emotionally.
Linda watched this sudden turn of events, both angry and shocked!
It was already unbelievable that Mu Junze, that ice - faced man, would agree to perform on stage for Meng Nianchu. Mufeng had clearly been in a car accident, so how could he return to the stage? Why hadn't anyone told her about this from beginning to end!
Linda felt like her head was about to explode, and she was extremely dissatisfied.
Why hadn't anyone told her such a big thing!
Linda didn't listen to a single word of what Mufeng sang. Her mind was full of why she didn't know about these things!
By the time Mufeng had finished singing a song, Linda had no impression of it at all. It was only when Meng Nianchu suddenly came on stage again and spoke that she came back to her senses.
"Wasn't Mufeng's song really nice!" Meng Nianchu asked with a laugh.
A chorus of "Nice!" came from the audience.
Mufeng blushed.
But Meng Nianchu's next words raised everyone's mood to a serious level, "Mufeng's sudden car accident was very unexpected. My husband also values Mufeng very much. After learning about what happened to Mufeng, he took the initiative to send people to find the culprit."
"Finally, just the afternoon before last, we finally found out who the real culprit of this incident was."
When she said the last words, Meng Nianchu's gaze turned to Linda.
