A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

However, she did not dare to talk back to Wei Shaoyin.

Wei Shaoyin was famous in the industry for being very crude and direct when speaking without batting an eyelash. Agreeing with his opinions was fine, but once someone showed a little dissatisfaction, he would reprimand the person until he or she regretted existing in this world.

“Fireproof and theftproof Wei Shaoyin” was the catchphrase circulated by many singers.

Luo Ye could only swallow her words and listen to him relentlessly list out more than twenty big and small mistakes she made. She was in a mess after being thoroughly criticized. Thankfully, she was able to tolerate it and did not cry. It was utterly depressing. She clearly performed the song very well. Why was she being lambasted by Mr. Crazy Wei?

At this point in time, she realized that her opponent who was the quiet and dainty girl wearing a white dress was trained by Wei Shaoyin. If she had realized this earlier, she would have known that Wei Shaoyin was being biased and siding with her opponent. She would not have dared to provoke him then!

Who would willingly be humiliated by Unreasonable Wei in the public eye?

Even the emcee could not bear to look at them. “Ah Wei…”

Wei Shaoyin had started to talk about the time when she just debuted. “You didn’t sing well that year you debuted, and even after so many years, you did not practice enough. Now, it seems that you have returned your skills to your teacher…”

Wei Shaoyin acted as if he did not hear her. “You have to be self-aware if you don’t have that level of skill. Do you know where you are lacking in comparison to Xiao Ling…”

“Ah Wei!” The emcee was about to cry.

“Ah Wei, shut up.” Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted him.

Wei Shaoyin, who initially ignored the emcee, heard these words and turned his head around. “What are you doing?” He recognized that it was the voice of Xiao Ling from his company.

“You shut up and let me do it.” Xia Ling was unhappy. “Are you the one competing against her? Don’t steal my limelight! Hmph!”

The emcee on stage, Luo Ye, and all the producers stared at her with their mouths agape. The audience members below the stage were also stunned… Ye… Ye Xingling, Sister Ye, Aunt Ye… She actually dared to criticize an unreasonable Virgo like Wei Shaoyin? And still accused him of stealing your limelight?! Oh my god, do they interact like this in the recording studio? It was literally beyond anyone’s expectations!

Had the person who could make Wei Shaoyin surrender finally appeared in this world?

“No… How could my Wei Wei listen to what another girl said?” In the audience, a girl called Qiqi rubbed her eyes and whined. “Wei Wei is mine!”

Her friend who was beside her patted her shoulders. “Be more optimistic. Perhaps Ah Wei is just showing some respect to Big Boss Li.”

Now, everyone knew that Ye Xingling was Li Lei’s woman. As such, all employees of Skyart Entertainment, including unreasonable Wei Shaoyin, were expected to treat her with more respect. Thinking about that fact, the hearts of Wei Shaoyin’s fans became calm again.

“Exactly!” The girl called Qiqi waved her fist in the air. “Ah Wei is mine. Good luck, Ah Wei!”

However, Wei Shaoyin did not receive any good luck.

After being blamed by Xia Ling, he suddenly remembered whose home turn it was. Even if he were to steal someone’s limelight, he should not be stealing his company’s Xiao Ling’s limelight! Thus, Wei Shaoyin decisively and magnanimously let go of Luo Ye. “I have just listed your shortcomings, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. Due to the limited time today, I won’t go on further. I will continue my criticism in the future when there is an opportunity.”

Luo Ye wanted to faint. Just the tip of the iceberg? Wei Shaoyin, what sort of feud and resentment do you have with me?!

However, dealing with the situation was more crucial than dealing with him. She did not dare to say another word to Wei Shaoyin for fear that he might change his mind and continue to point out more of her embarrassing mistakes. Luo Ye tightly bit her lip and quietly went down the stage.

Once she got down from the stage, Zhao Wanyang who had lost in the last round greeted her in high spirits. “How is it? You said that you would win just now, I guess that was just useless talk, right? Ha ha ha.”

Luo Ye was burning with rage from his ridicule, but she could not find the words to refute what he said.

The other surrounding teammates were gloating over her misfortune.

Agitated, she resentfully said, “What are you looking at! Wait until you go up on stage and be abused like me!”

“Sister Luo Ye, it isn’t good to say something like that.” Xia Yu’s thin voice was heard from the dimly lit corner. “Are you cursing all of us to lose? Sister Luo Ye, don’t you want us to win?” Seeing that irritating woman Ye Xingling win two rounds consecutively made Xia Yu very uncomfortable. She did not think that Luo Ye would be this insensible and say things to vent her anger. How could Xia Yu not be angry?

This accusation was too large, and it scared Luo Ye so much that she shivered. “No, I don’t mean it that way.” She said in a low voice. She did not know why, but every time she saw Xia Yu, she felt a little scared; she could never guess what her seemingly weak teammate was thinking.

Instinctively, she did not dare to offend Xia Yu.

Xia Yu nodded. She replied casually with an implied order. “Don’t vent your frustrations like that in the future.”

Luo Ye buried her hatred and agreed.

Only then did Xia Yu continue to say, “Well then, good luck to those who are going on stage next. It will be too embarrassing if you continue to let Ye Xingling stand on the ring.” She was the last to appear on stage, and there were many singers before her. It was best if they could defeat the annoying woman because she did not want to see her ever again…

Although she was unwilling, Xia Yu could not help but admit that the irritating woman sang more skillfully than her.

Even if she was competing against her, she had no confidence in winning.

The best way was to use tag-team fighting was by letting those in front of her tire that irritating woman out so that she would eventually be defeated. Even if she could not be defeated, she could be exhausted by the other competitors so that Xia Yu would have the confidence of winning.

She smiled sweetly. “Everyone, do not hesitate to choose difficult songs for her to sing. It is a competition, so a high difficulty will make it more interesting.” After she said that, everyone realized that if she continuously sang difficult songs, her voice would be tired quickly, and the chances of her losing would greatly increase. Yes, they should use tag-team fighting as a strategy to win!

The third competitor confidently went on stage.

He assigned Xia Ling to sing his most difficult song, but Xia Ling still performed perfectly and he lost.

The fourth one, the fifth one…

It was a tag-team fighting tactic which was supposed to benefit them, but it was not effective when used on Xia Ling. Everyone tried their best but was left dejected. Only she was standing in the ring on stage in a relaxed manner with a white skirt that was like a blooming flower.

“Well then, we have reached the last competitor. If this competitor loses as well, Chen Xiaomin’s group will be completely annihilated.” The host was very excited. Since the start of the Nebula Music Festival, there had never been a situation like that. “If Chen Xiaomin’s group is eliminated, then Ye Xingling will be the first person in history to defeat her competitors from start to finish. She will create a miracle! Can our Xiao Ling create a miracle like that? Let’s welcome her last competitor on stage — Xia Yu!”
