You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 119 Are You Tomorrow?

Lin Wanting covered her burning cheek, completely stunned.

She never imagined that someone would dare to hit her in front of so many people.

But when she turned around and found that the person was Lu Ran, she suddenly felt like she had been caught talking badly about someone behind their back.

Lu Ran had just passed by and was replying to a message at the corner when he overheard this scene.

Lu Ran didn't care who the other party was; he couldn't tolerate these few words of slander against Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi.

He's not usually one to hit women, but he can't tolerate this kind of defamation against Shen Yuege, Liu Siqi, and himself.

Lin Wanting was trembling with anger, her finger pointing at Lu Ran shaking: "You...you dare hit me? I'm calling the police! I'll make sure you can't stay in the entertainment industry!"

"Go ahead." Lu Ran hadn't planned to work in the entertainment industry anyway. Seeing Lin Wanting's angry and embarrassed expression, Lu Ran smiled and said, "Do you want me to make a call for you? I also want everyone to see how a so-called senior in the music industry spreads rumors and slanders against juniors behind their backs."

Then Lu Ran pointed to the surrounding cameras and said to Lin Wanting, "What you just said was clearly recorded here. Even if you call the police, at most I'll pay your medical expenses, but your future career may be over."

Lu Ran's words did indeed calm Lin Wanting down.

She spoke without thinking; she hadn't really thought that much about it.

Although she wasn't sure if the surrounding cameras had audio or video recording capabilities, if they did, and the footage was released, it could really be the end of her career.

Despite her current high status, only Lin Wanting knows that she is already on a downward slope, and it's a very steep one.

At this point, even a small negative news story about her could very well ruin her future.

"Next time, if I hear you gossiping behind my back again, it won't just be a slap." Seeing Lin Wanting glaring at him fiercely, Lu Ran gave her a warning.

Seemingly intimidated by Lu Ran's aura, or perhaps genuinely considering her future, Lin Wanting didn't dare to retort to Lu Ran's words.

Once she was sure Lu Ran was far away, Lin Wanting stood there shouting, "What are you all standing there for? Call security! I'm calling the police!"

Meanwhile, the staff members standing nearby all quietly moved away.

Lin Wanting's words were indeed too much. We're all in the entertainment industry; we know how devastating such rumors can be for a female celebrity. While Lu Ran's physical violence was wrong, Lin Wanting certainly deserved it.

More importantly, the online backlash against Lin Wanting and Chen Taisheng is overwhelming right now, and anyone who gets involved with them is doomed.

"Teacher Lin, calm down, calm down," an assistant-like person said, forcing a smile. "If this really escalates, it won't be good for anyone..."

"Get out!" Lin Wanting shoved him away and took out her phone to make a call.

But his finger hovered over the screen, yet he hesitated to press it.

She recalled what her agent had told her the night before: "Wan-ting, the online public opinion surrounding you and Chen Tai-sheng is very unfavorable right now. The company's PR department has tried its best to suppress it, but with little effect. You must keep a low profile during this period and avoid causing any more trouble."

She recalled the appalling comments in her Weibo comment section: "Old woman, get out of the music scene," "Taking advantage of your age," "Shameless bullying of younger generations"...

She wasn't sure how public opinion would react if news broke out about her being beaten by Lu Ran at this point.

Especially now, Lu Ran, Shen Yuege, Liu Siqi, and others are at the height of their popularity.

Lin Wanting gritted her teeth and finally put away her phone.

"You just wait..." She stared at the direction Lu Ran had left in, her eyes filled with venom. "Once those photos are released, let's see how arrogant you'll be then!"

She was referring to the photo of Lu Ran and Liu Siqi embracing that the paparazzi had secretly taken.

She had previously learned through some gossip that paparazzi had photographed Lu Ran and Liu Siqi hugging.

Moreover, that paparazzi has already sold the photos for a high price, intending to release them at the most crucial moment.

For example, the final night of "The Voice of China", or when Liu Siqi was at her most popular.

As for Lu Ran, he was conveniently included.

"The higher you climb, the harder you fall," Lin Wanting sneered. "We'll see how you get out of this mess then!"

She tidied her hair and clothes, and left the scene, trying to appear calm.

At 2 p.m., Lu Ran arrived at Liu Siqi's recording studio on time.

This time, his perspective was more complex than it had been in the morning.

There was curiosity, exploration, envy, and disdain.

"That's Lu Ran? He just finished helping Shen Yuege record a song this morning, and now he's helping Liu Siqi this afternoon?"

"A master of time management!"

"Who do you think he's closer to?"

"Who knows? They're all top-tier actresses anyway, I can't possibly reach any of them."

"But his songs are truly amazing! I listened to a short clip of the demo that Shen Yuege sent this morning, and it's absolutely incredible!"

"If Liu Siqi pulls out another hit song this time, Lin Wanting and Chen Taisheng will be thoroughly humiliated, won't they?"

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the legendary Tomorrow. I wanted to see who was stronger, Tomorrow or Lu Ran."

Although the murmurs were faint, Lu Ran could still hear some of them.

He shook his head and pushed open the door to the recording studio.

Liu Siqi was already waiting inside. When she saw him come in, her eyes lit up: "Lu Ran, you're here! I heard about what happened this morning..."

"It's nothing." Lu Ran waved his hand, not elaborating. "Let's hurry up and record the song. This song is quite difficult, we need to work on it properly."

The song I sang with Shen Yuege this morning was "The Rose in My Palm," which is quite challenging in itself.

And the song he will be singing with Liu Siqi this afternoon is equally impressive.

It's "Under the Flying Clouds".

Both songs share a common characteristic: they demand high vocal skills from both the female and male vocal parts.

If he hadn't acquired master-level singing skills, Lu Ran would have been able to choke on high notes after just three lines of lyrics.

Liu Siqi nodded, but her eyes still held worry: "Lin Wanting is a vengeful person. I'm afraid she'll cause you trouble in the future."

"Don't worry about that, let's record the song first."

Lu Ran didn't care about this threat at all. If the other party was really that blind, Lu Ran wouldn't mind digging into their past.

With his skills, digging up dirt on someone online would be incredibly easy for him.

"Did you really help Shen Yuege record a song this morning?" Liu Siqi asked somewhat seriously.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"So, you are Tomorrow?" Liu Siqi stared at Lu Ran, confirming.
