Chapter 340 - He Received the Gift (1/2)
In fact, Jiang Yuning’s performance had already been pushed back. Her performance was originally supposed to be the third last performance. However, it was eventually pushed back to the second last and now, it was finally scheduled to be the last performance for the night.
The audience quickly discovered this issue and they started to check the order of performances in the program list.
“Isn’t Jiang Yuning supposed to perform? Isn’t she supposed to sing? Where is Jiang Yuning’s song?”
“Did they cancel Jiang Yuning’s performance? Did she back out at the last minute because she is a coward who does not have the guts to perform on stage anymore?”
“Is she withdrawing from the battle? Don’t tell me she is going to make a sudden announcement that she is not feeling well and will not be able to perform tonight.]
“This is already supposed to be the last performance of the night. She must have lost the courage to perform on stage.”
The audience started to discuss the matter among themselves. Did Jiang Yuning not even have the guts to perform tonight?
Everyone could not help but sigh when the last performance for the night came to an end. Someone even stood up directly and asked, “What about Jiang Yuning’s performance?”
“Exactly! Where did Jiang Yuning go?”
“Does she think that she is too good to perform here tonight?”
“Jiang Yuning, are you afraid to show up because you are afraid of embarrassing yourself?”
The students from B University who were sitting amongst the audience started insulting and making jokes about Jiang Yuning as they waved the glow stick in their hands in the air. They did not know that such a vicious incident had just taken place in the resting lounge backstage.
“Coward! Jiang Yuning must have run away to hide.”
“Jiang Yuning is really a coward.”
When Secretary Ho heard the people in the gymnasium insulting and scolding Jiang Yuning, he looked at Lu Jingzhi before he said in a nervous voice, “Principal, do not be angry. They are just a group of young students.”
Lu Jingzhi did not speak at all. However, the students seated in front turned around to look behind because could sense a strong and powerful aura from the back of the hall.
As Secretary Ho was blocking Lu Jingzhi from everyone’s view, no one knew that Lu Jingzhi was there. However, their sixth sense reminded them that the identity of the person seated at the back of the hall was not that simple…
At this time, the host was still standing on the stage and as everyone was bored of waiting and got up to leave the hall, the host suddenly made an announcement.
Unfortunately, the host did not succeed in stopping the students and guests from getting up to leave. It was only when the music accompaniment to started playing on the piano that they turned around to look at the stage.
Jiang Yuning was standing under the spotlight in the center of the stage. However, she was still wearing the exact dress that she had worn to the event earlier that night.
What happened? Did Jiang Yuning come back to perform her song because she knew that everyone was already making fun of her? Was she that concerned about her reputation and image?
[Jiang Yuning is hilarious. She must have gotten caught and dragged back here to perform after trying to escape!]
[Seriously, what kind of preparations did she have to do backstage? Why would she need more than twenty minutes to get ready for her performance?]
[There will definitely be a good show for us to watch tonight.]
Although everyone was speaking ill of the little descendant, Lu Jingzhi did not pay any attention to their words at all. This was because he was placing all of his focus and attention on Jiang Yuning, who was performing on stage at this time.
It was a pity that they were both so far apart. Lu Jingzhi could barely see Jiang Yuning. All he could see was Jiang Yuning holding the microphone to her mouth as she began singing…
Once hated, I could only spend the countless nights sleeping alone;
I was once afraid that there would be no one to accompany me as the four seasons change;
The fireworks in my heart, only at that point;
…
What was going on? What was that professional and ethereal voice?
Everyone seated in the hall were in disbelief. The first thing that flashed through their minds was that Jiang Yuning was definitely lip-synching to someone’s song.
However, these students were professionals and they could easily distinguish and tell that Jiang Yuning was in fact singing the song live on stage tonight.
Although they were reluctant to admit it, they knew that Jiang Yuning was in fact singing the song all by herself.
Moreover, her singing skills were unexpectedly on point.
How could that be possible?
Jiang Yuning was only a freshman before she had dropped out of college.
How could she sing so well? She had such a beautiful voice and her song so perfectly matched the dress she was wearing.
Some of the students who were busy insulting and criticizing Jiang Yuning earlier raised their brows in shock and they were left speechless at Jiang Yuning’s performance.
