This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends
Chapter 155: Why are you telling me all this?

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Why are you telling me all this?

Liu Lan initially appeared bored as she listened, but as she fully grasped the lyrics and the emotions in the song, she immediately realized something was amiss.

Tired of becoming the person you expect me to be?

Following your footsteps, step by step without questioning?

Manipulation? Awakening? Breaking free from restraints?

Isn’t this directly referring to her?

Liu Lan felt a rush of irritation. Not only had she quarreled with her family over Wu Mu’s relationship exposure, not to mention the divorce from a husband with whom she had managed to maintain appearances on the surface, and not to mention the loss of her own face, now she had to be vilified in a song?

You’re really something, aren’t you? Now you think you’re great because you can write songs.

Wu Mu continued on stage.

"Have you noticed you’re making it hard for me to breathe?"

"Holding on so tight, just fearing losing control."

"Because of all the illusions you had about me before,"

"They have crumbled right before your eyes."

This line by line was practically a reenactment of her past with the person on stage.

Liu Lan was clear about one thing—she never had much love for Wu Mu, at most just a bit of fondness.

What she loved more was the adulation of an idol, a star that shone brightly in everyone’s eyes, the vanity of having her way with them.

So, although she affectionately called him ’baby’ with her lips, in her heart she never truly cared about his feelings.

Her need for Wu Mu was simple: to lift him to greater fame, to an even more dazzling status, then to have him at her beck and call.

She thought this state of affairs could continue until the day she grew tired of it.

But an accident shattered it all, with chat logs and photos being exposed, not only causing her a great deal of trouble, but the very person she used to manipulate, at some point, had completely transformed himself and could even reject her attempts at reconciliation.

Honestly, the present Wu Mu had actually become slightly more important in her heart.

It’s not that she’s worthless; it’s just human nature—not to care much about things that come too easily.

But... as they say, she was a person of high pride, and since Wu Mu had already cut off any possibility of them returning to the past, she would absolutely not tolerate going back to him, tail between her legs.

Liu Lan forcefully suppressed the annoyance in her heart, striving to remain composed.

On stage, Wu Mu’s singing was drawing to a close.

"My heart is cold and rigid like ice; I am indifferent to your manipulation."

"I am weary of being the person you wanted me to be."

"My heart is cold and rigid like ice; I am indifferent to your manipulation..."

Wu Mu stepped away from the microphone in front of him.

But the audience was still tumultuous.

"Goddammit, that was incredible!"

"I didn’t expect it to be so pleasant to the ear; I’m a fan of this Asian band now!"

"That was divine, which fools asked them to step down!"

"Exactly, we almost missed such an electrifying performance!"

It was that kind of feeling where your scalp tingles, where you’re no longer just swaying to the dynamic rhythm but also immersing yourself emotionally into the song, venting the sentiments within.

After the song, saying the singer performed passionately would not be an exaggeration at all.

The crowd, still not having enough, even began spontaneously confronting the people who had caused disruptions earlier.

Those who had caused trouble before naturally didn’t dare to speak up now.

Not only did they not dare to speak, but they even felt somewhat resentful towards Bruno and his associates.

Wasn’t it agreed initially to show this band, which lacked strength and relied on connections to perform last, a lesson?

And after the performance, this was called lacking strength!?

Bruno, and the other bands there, were naturally silent at this time.

These guys were nothing like this when they were practicing backstage!

If they knew this bunch was so skilled, would they have been so full of themselves to go looking for trouble?

After a rendition of "Numb," Wu Mu had thoroughly charged up the atmosphere at the venue.

No one doubted their skill anymore.

Taking a breather, Wu Mu and Lu Yao followed through with the original performance schedule.

Subsequent performances, though not as explosive as "Numb," were still of a decent standard.

They didn’t let down the bar that had high hopes for them.

They successfully earned their pay for the night.

A base fee of three thousand euros, plus about eight thousand from ticket sales.

That’s eleven thousand euros in total, even a thousand more than yesterday.

Flush with cash, Lu Yao placed her hands on her hips and boasted, "Haha, I’m the captain who earns the most money! Little Tian is nothing compared to me!"

It’s not like you earned it by yourself.

Wu Mu chuckled inwardly.

At least half of that money was thanks to his contribution.

But whatever, such a little sum of money was nothing to him!

Tomorrow, he would show them what real earning looked like.

Yeah, he’d literally "cheat" to make money.

As Wu Mu was plotting in his mind, several people entered their resting room.

It was Liu Lan with her entourage of assistants and bodyguards, and Su Meng following behind with a frown.

Lu Yao and the others were visibly confused about why these people were here, and that Su Meng, wasn’t she that client’s roommate who appeared on Star Agency a while back!

Why was she here?

Su Meng was beautiful and had a distinctive presence, so Lu Yao and the others had some recollection of her.

As for Liu Lan, although her photo had been exposed during Wu Mu’s house collapse incident,

how could ordinary people remember someone they glanced at in a photo so long ago?

Lu Yao and the others were totally mystified.

Wu Mu was also puzzled about what Liu Lan was doing here.

But he found out soon enough.

Liu Lan walked straight up to him with a somewhat mocking expression, "Do you know why I’ve never cared about you? Because you’ll never be what I truly want. I wish you had the power of my family, to be with me openly and aboveboard. Can you do that? You can’t, and so your only value is as a celebrity."

Huh?

Huh?

Wu Mu looked at her curiously, "Why are you telling me this?"

Liu Lan’s expression darkened slightly.

Wu Mu smiled faintly, "Mr. Liu, you just lost a bit more dignity in my eyes, I’m afraid."

After giving him a deep look, Liu Lan turned around and walked away without another word.

Hmm, Wu Mu thought he got the picture.

Liu Lan must have been irritated by his singing earlier and had come to taunt him.

The power like that of Liu Lan’s family?

It was true, his predecessor likely had no chance to obtain the wealth of the ultra-rich, no matter how famous or popular a flow idol was, probably not in several lifetimes.

But he might have a shot, thanks to his system cheat.

However, what did that have to do with him? He had no interest in any entanglement with this disagreeable woman.

Right now, he just wanted to be a happy celebrity, lying back and earning money comfortably.
