Chapter 152: Chapter 152: The Dog Thing is Really Popular

Liu Lan truly hadn’t expected to encounter Wu Mu here.

Just as Wu Mu had previously mentioned, though she was selfish, she was even more arrogant.

Although she was very upset that Wu Mu, who used to be utterly deferential to her, had suddenly changed his attitude.

But since Wu Mu had made things clear, she couldn’t possibly cling to him desperately.

Her arrogance wouldn’t allow her to do so.

So, since the incident backstage at the Masked Singer, she hadn’t contacted Wu Mu or cared about his situation.

Now seeing Wu Mu again...

Hmph, he seemed totally unaffected.

Liu Lan thought angrily.

Seeing Wu Mu chatting with Su Meng and completely ignoring her, she couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark, "What, you can’t even greet your former boss?"

Wu Mu clicked his tongue, looked at Liu Lan, and said amusedly, "Mr. Liu, that remark really ruins the respectable image I had of you in my mind."

Damn it!

Liu Lan’s anger, already simmering, surged upward.

What the hell was wrong with this piece of shit? How could his personality suddenly become so irritating?

She really wanted to understand why a person could suddenly undergo such a drastic change in personality.

Naturally, Wu Mu had no interest in explaining the reason to her.

"I have to go record the show, I’ll take you out for a meal when I have time."

After greeting Su Meng, he continued following Lu Yao and the others.

Liu Lan’s face was furious as she watched Wu Mu’s retreating figure.

Then, after staring for a few seconds, she shifted her gaze and met the slightly evaluative eyes of someone else.

It was Lin Qingyue, who had been filming secretly behind them.

After making eye contact with the short-haired girl a few times, Liu Lan initially didn’t care, but soon she frowned.

She felt a different kind of intention in the eyes of the girl before her.

The anger in her heart, which had just subsided a bit, started rising fiercely again.

The bastard really was popular; he never lacked admirers!

Not just her, but those around her as well.

Liu Lan’s gaze dangerously fixed on Su Meng, "Are you very close to him?"

Su Meng furrowed her brows and looked at her, remaining silent.

Liu Lan bluntly warned, "Stay away from him."

...

Lu Yao and the others, distracted by thoughts of the upcoming performance, hadn’t even noticed Wu Mu had left the group for a moment.

But Lin Qingyue, who had been secretly filming behind them, naturally knew.

After evaluating Liu Lan for a moment, she caught up with Wu Mu in front, "Your sugar daddy?"

Wu Mu looked at her amusedly, "Hey, what sugar daddy? I told you it was a normal relationship."

Lin Qingyue smiled faintly, "A normal relationship with a married woman."

"I was tricked, alright!"

Lin Qingyue looked at him, her smile holding a touch of exasperation, "I really can’t figure out how someone like you got deceived by her; this stain really affects your image."

Wu Mu spread his hands, "Well, I was deceived; what can I do?"

It was something the previous person had done, and he couldn’t change it.

Lin Qingyue chuckled, thought for a moment, then added, "I’ll cut that scene of her just now. Try to be in fewer frames with her in the future."

"If Wu Mu were exposed in the same frame with Liu Lan, the audience would definitely see it as reigniting old flames and being kept as a mistress again."

"And for him, whose image had just improved after a scandal, it would definitely be a huge blow to his popularity among the public."

"Yes," Wu Mu naturally had no intention of being seen with Liu Lan.

...

Walking through the front hall of the bar, Wu Mu quickly followed Lu Yao and the others to the backstage.

Wu Mu and his team had thought that even if the bar had invited them, they wouldn’t pay much attention since it wasn’t the first time stars had visited, and being from Hua Country, they might not adapt well.

But, unexpectedly, the bar took it very seriously.

The owner, Old Qiao, and his daughter were there to greet them.

And as soon as they met, Old Qiao’s daughter, a girl named Amy, came forward excitedly, "Mr. Wu Mu, hello, I’m your fan."

Listening to the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl call him "Mr. Wu Mu" in her strange accent, Wu Mu was undoubtedly startled.

What was going on? When had he gotten fans abroad?

Lu Yao and the others were also surprised.

Could it be true? Could Mr. Wu Mu actually be famous abroad?

Wu Mu was, of course, not famous abroad, and Amy had come across him by chance, from a video where Wu Mu, as ’Masked Singer’, had sung ’Under the Sea’ and made two foreign singers cry. It had been shared on TikTok, where she had stumbled upon it.

From that video on, she had become a loyal fan of Wu Mu.

After all, the singing was just too emotional, and the man too handsome!

She had gone out of her way to dig up and watch all of Wu Mu’s previous shows and the more she watched, the more she liked him. What a fascinating star!

Yes, she had seen the reports about the scandal.

But, that’s it?

It was just a romance.

Such things, to more liberated foreigners, were hardly a matter at all.

Amy blinked her eyes as she gazed at Wu Mu, thinking how much handsomer he was in person!

"Mr. Wu Mu, I saw your video on my father’s phone yesterday and recognized you instantly, then I highly recommended you to my father."

So, they had gotten this gig with some help from a foreign fan behind the scenes.

Amy was a real loving fan indeed, showing more confidence than Wu Mu himself, "Mr. Wu Mu will definitely be the biggest surprise of our bar tonight!"

Her father, Old Qiao, might not be a fan, but he seemed quite impressed and smiled kindly, "I’ve seen your performance; you sing superbly."

This, undoubtedly, put some pressure on Wu Mu.

One’s own people knew one’s affairs.

His outstanding singing was all thanks to System Skills, which needed the right song to be spotlighted.

Singing a new Earth song assigned by the system, he still felt a bit confident.

But with tonight’s band performance, they wouldn’t be able to sing a new Earth song because if they did, Lu Yao and the others simply couldn’t play it.

Not only could they not sing a new Earth song, being in Paris, he also needed to add some English songs to the mix, or else if all were Chinese songs, the audience might object.

Under such circumstances, how much he could utilize his System Skills was indeed a problem.

Unaware of Wu Mu’s thoughts, Lu Yao was still very pleased, "Don’t worry, we’ve got this covered for tonight!"

After their initial meeting, Amy diligently led Wu Mu and the team to the backstage lounge to prepare for the evening’s performance.

Then, before the official performance had even started, the downside of being too high-profile began to show.

Several bands who had arrived early in the resting room were looking at them with cold eyes, clearly displaying a cold attitude.

Could they not be cold?

It was bizarre enough that Old Qiao had invited an unheard-of Asian band, but to give this band tonight’s final performance slot?

And that was not all; the ticket revenue share given was the highest as well!
