As the violent prelude sounded, the atmosphere in the entire venue changed.
Her raspy voice has a metallic quality, and her lyrics are as sharp as a knife:
"Do you feel comfortable with the stolen face?
Does the imitation behavior resemble that of a clown?
The mirror can reflect your skin.
But I can't see your soul,
Even if it looks like——"
She suddenly glissando, and the electric guitar made a harsh sound.
"It can't become real!"
The crystal chandelier vibrated in the sound waves.
“Bang!”
Qin Yue's champagne glass shattered, and the wine splashed on Vivian's red dress, leaving a dark stain.
Zhuoran keenly noticed that when singing the line "can't become real", Mu Xuewei's fingers suddenly clenched the hem of her skirt, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was glaring red under the light.
The last accent fell.
The strands of hair on Gu Youran's forehead were soaked with sweat, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
The guests in the audience woke up as if from a dream, and many of them subconsciously touched their faces, as if the song could really tear off their disguise.
The originally confused eyes gradually regained clarity.
"It's so shocking! This is real music!"
"These lyrics are like a magic mirror..."
Amidst the discussions, Vivian dug her nails deep into her palms.
Her carefully designed performance and the atmosphere she painstakingly created were completely shattered by an impromptu rock song.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again.
A slender figure stood against the light, and the well-tailored black suit outlined the perfect proportion of broad shoulders and narrow waist.
When he stepped into the light, all the women in the venue held their breath.
"It's Shi Heng!" someone exclaimed.
The helmsman of the Shi Group, a business legend, and the dream marriage partner of countless celebrities.
His appearance was like a magnet, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
A gleam of light flashed in Vivian's eyes. She quickly adjusted the hem of her skirt and walked towards Shi Heng in her ten-centimeter high heels.
She was full of confidence. This face, which was almost exactly the same as Gu Youran's, would definitely attract Shi Heng's attention again.
When they first met in the hot pot restaurant, Shi Heng stared at her face in a daze for a full five seconds.
Will he stay longer this time?
"Mr. Shi, I've long heard of you." Vivian stopped two steps away from Shi Heng, leaned forward slightly, and revealed her perfect clavicle. "I'm Vivian Decker, nice to meet you."
Her voice was soft and charming, and the red teardrop mole at the corner of her eye looked particularly charming under the light.
Shi Heng's gaze didn't stay on her for even a second. He walked straight past her and towards the stage.
Vivian's smile froze on her face, and her outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air.
"Boss Shi!" Bai Xiangning hurried forward upon seeing this, blocking Shi Heng's way. "Do you still remember me? I'm Bai Xiangning, the heir of the Bai family perfume business and the founder of 'Phantom Mirror Fragrance'."
Today she wore a white long dress, with exquisite makeup, exuding the elegant temperament of a celebrity.
She was confident that with her current status, she would be looked at differently by him.
Shi Heng finally stopped and glanced at her coldly.
"I don't remember."
Those three words were so crisp and clear, like a slap in Bai Xiangning's face.
A few suppressed chuckles were heard around.
Bai Xiangning's face turned red instantly.
Shi Heng ignored her and strode towards Gu Youran who had just come down from the stage.
"Are you having fun?" He reached out to push back the sweaty hair on his wife's forehead, his eyes filled with a tenderness he had never shown to anyone else.
Gu Youran looked up at him, a sly glint in her eyes. "Not bad, except for a fly that keeps buzzing in my ear."
"Really?" Shi Heng chuckled, and gently pinched the tip of her nose with his slender fingers, "Then let's go home now."
He took off his suit jacket and draped it over Gu Youran's shoulders, his movements natural and intimate.
The celebrities present all looked sideways, their eyes full of envy.
When had they ever seen the cold and distant Shi Heng treat a woman so gently?
In full view of everyone, Shi Heng put his arms around his wife's waist and bent down to place a kiss on the top of her head.
This scene was like a sharp knife, piercing into Vivian and Bai Xiangning's hearts.
Vivian's eyes were full of resentment.
Bai Xiangning bit her lower lip tightly and didn't let go until she tasted blood.
"Let's go." Bai Xiangning grabbed Weiwei's wrist, her voice filled with suppressed anger, "This place is no longer interesting."
The two were about to leave when Shi Heng suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
Vivian turned around in surprise, thinking he finally noticed her.
Shi Heng glanced at the two of them coldly, "I heard that you were rude to my wife just now."
This is not a question, but a statement.
The sound was not loud, but it made the entire venue quiet down instantly.
"Mr. Shi has misunderstood," Vivian forced a smile. "I just admire Miss Gu's talent and wanted to learn from her."
"Really?" Shi Heng sneered, "Do you need me to analyze the lyrics of 'Man in the Mirror' for you line by line?"
Vivian's face turned pale.
The lyrics of that song were indeed directed at Gu Youran, implying that she was a fake.
"Also," Shi Heng turned his gaze to Bai Xiangning, "Do you need me to ask the quality inspection department to test the hallucinogenic ingredients added to your perfume?"
Bai Xiangning was struck by lightning and staggered back a step, but she quickly steadied herself.
This is the core business secret of "Magic Mirror Fragrance", how could Shi Heng know it?
On second thought, she did it so secretly, it would be impossible to find out.
