Chapter 237 Let's duel, Old Deng!
In the luxurious hall of the Su family's residence in Shanghai, a room large enough to accommodate dozens of people.
The air seemed to be drawn into a vacuum in that instant, creating an awkward atmosphere that sent chills down one's spine.
On the giant 100-inch screen television, Jiang Baizhi's face was beaming with an excessively sweet smile.
As the last line of the song faded, the entire screen seemed to be enveloped in a soft-focus filter.
Upon seeing Jiang Baifa's message, Su Ze raised his phone and shouted to the women who were gathered around the necklace:
"The third brother replied. He said the pearl was a prop provided by the sponsor. His family is really poor; he usually mooches off my instant noodle soup because he's truly broke!"
The second, third, and fourth sisters exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, it was just a prop! It scared me to death. I thought some other incredibly wealthy Jiang family had appeared in Shanghai!
however.
Mr. Su, who was standing to the side, did not hear what his son was saying at all.
This seasoned veteran, who once commanded great influence in the business world, had stopped spinning his Bodhi seed teacup and forgotten to smoke his premium cigar.
His eyes were now gleaming with a kind of fervent light, almost like that of a young man in the throes of first love.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
On TV, Jiang Baizhi's glance back and her voice made Su's father realize that his dormant feelings of love, which had been dormant for twenty days, had been stirred.
Not only did it move, it also caught fire!
"This kind of temperament, this kind of appearance, this is truly 'a peerless beauty'."
"Although the song 'Love You' that Xiaoze mentioned before was sweet, this song 'Gently Tell You' really hits the nail on the head."
Su Ze, who was sitting to the side, was happily fantasizing about how he would call Jiang Bai his brother-in-law in the future.
Turning my head, I saw my father practically burying his face in the TV. My heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling washed over me, and I muttered to myself:
broken!
He knew that look in her eyes all too well!
Su Ze felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the look in his father's eyes.
He knew that look in her eyes all too well!
Back then, my second and third older sisters...
And there's also the fourth sister who just came in.
Before my old man even gets the idea, he always has this "old house on fire" expression on his face!
Meanwhile, the second, third, and fourth sisters, who had been studying the pearl necklace, fell into a deathly silence.
The three women exchanged a glance, their faces showing annoyance.
They knew Su's father's character all too well.
If she really takes a fancy to someone, she can just go and smash down their door with a villa and a checkbook.
But the question is, what do they have to fight for, the ones on TV?
Competing based on looks? They can dominate the entire field in an instant.
Competing on wealth? The string of pearls around her neck could buy all three of their jewelry boxes!
The group began to make connections, and then fell silent.
In the midst of this deathly silence, Mr. Su suddenly cleared his throat.
Turning to look at Su Ze, his tone carried an unprecedented gentleness:
"Xiao Ze, you just said... this Miss Jiang Baizhi is your roommate's younger sister?"
Su Ze shrank back warily and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Yes...yes, the third brother dotes on his younger sister the most."
"He's the kind of person who would fight anyone who mentions it."
Mr. Su stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes practically gleaming with greed.
"So she's... eighteen years old this year, right?"
"What year are you in at the Shanghai Theatre Academy? What kind of gifts do you usually like?"
"Also, you just mentioned sponsors, right?"
"It just so happens that I'm planning to establish a 'Chinese Music Development Support Fund' recently, and I think Ms. Jiang Baizhi perfectly fits our support criteria."
Mr. Su paused, then his tone became extremely domineering:
"Son, go tell your classmate, no matter who the sponsor is, to stay away from Miss Jiang from now on!"
"From now on, I'll cover all of Miss Jiang's expenses, including food, clothing, and even the money she earns for releasing records! That's what I call sponsorship!"
boom!
The string of integrity in Su Ze's mind snapped.
He jumped up from the sofa, ignoring the potato chips scattered all over the floor, and pointed at his father, letting out a righteous roar:
"Old Deng! What do you think you're doing?!"
"I'm warning you, shut your filthy thoughts!"
Mr. Su was stunned: "You brat, have you gone mad?"
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
"I'm just showing concern for young people and want to provide some sponsorship to the future superstars of China's music scene. What do you know!"
"I think you're the one who's gone mad!"
Su Ze's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at his father's nose and cursed:
"Bai Zhi is a fairy! She's the light that has saved humanity's aesthetic sense!"
"You're an old man with one foot in the grave, and you actually want to sponsor her? Is that what you call sponsorship? You're more like trying to sponsor her by registering her household registration!"
"Let me tell you, if you want to covet Bai Zhi, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Mr. Su's face turned red from the scolding, and he was so angry he laughed, so he gave a feint kick:
"Get out of my way! I'm calling this appreciating art!"
"You're just a kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet, what do you know about love?"
Su Ze wasn't intimidated and immediately bit down:
"I may not understand what love is, but I know that a beautiful flower like Bai Zhi shouldn't be wasted on a pile of cow dung like you!!"
"Enough talk, let's duel, Old Deng!"
then.
Inside the Su family villa, a fierce battle between father and son over the bride suddenly erupted.
.......
This broadcast.
The Kyoto Television signal, transmitted via satellite, was like a pink radio wave that precisely struck the living room of every household across China.
If the previous songs "Love You" and "Baby" only made young people fall in love collectively.
So this song, "Gently Tell You," is like throwing a huge, heartwarming bomb into the hearts of elders aged thirty to sixty.
Not just offline.
On the internet, where everyone gathers, the power of this song is even more evident!
The wave of the song "Gently Tell You" on the Internet is no longer a simple surge, but has directly evolved into a raging tsunami!
The waves started in the official live broadcast room of "The Voice of China".
at first.
When Jiang Baizhi appeared in the "The Voice of China" live stream dressed in a retro heiress outfit, the comments were relatively normal.
The screen is filled with comments like "wife snuggling together," "god-like beauty," and "this is the feeling of first love."
The majority are still the same group of anime/manga fans and college students.
Although people think "Gently Tell You" is a nice song, they only think that the style is retro and suitable as a lullaby.
But as the nostalgic melody of "Gently Tell You" flowed out, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly became eerie.
A bolded comment flashed across the screen:
[Guys, something seems off! Holy crap!]
The person involved was shocked and kept posting comments.
[I was watching The Voice of China online in the living room just now, and my dad, who usually only watches the evening news, was actually swaying his head along with Jiang Baizhi while listening to the songs, he was really excited!]
Not only that, he even asked me who this girl was, wanting to take out his savings of twenty years to give her as a tip!
Holy crap, is he possessed by a ghost? He's like a completely different person!
