“Can I attend your coming-of-age ceremony?” he asked, enunciating each word.
Pudding was just about to refuse. After all, her coming-of-age ceremony was a small-scale event, and all of the guests were VIPs. She didn’t plan on inviting outsiders, nor did she invite any employees.
“Don’t misunderstand, haha… I just want to meet my senior, Ni Yang… I heard that he’s back in China, and the media is hyping him up… He was so popular back then, and he sang so well… He must have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I want to talk to him and have a chat. Just let me fulfill my wish. I’ve liked this idol for so many years, but unfortunately, he stayed abroad for so many years and never came back.”
Pudding had long heard that Liao Muchen liked Ni Yang.
When Ni Yang was famous, the twins weren’t even born yet.
After Ni Yang retired, his last album went viral for five years.
Liao Muchen didn’t sing well, but he liked Ni Yang’s style, so it didn’t seem like an excuse.
After some thought, Pudding replied, “I’ll think about it.”
Yes, she did not give a clear answer. Even if Liao Muchen expressed his intention to attend the coming-of-age ceremony so badly, she only said that she would consider it.
Aside from sending out invitations to those who had to be invited, Pudding did have more than 10 invitations. As a popular superstar, it was no problem for Liao Muchen to attend and hype up the atmosphere.
But… if Mom saw him… would she…
After leaving the hospital, Pudding’s heart was still in a mess.
She sat in the Lamborghini and didn’t start it immediately.
Instead, she sat there in a daze for a while…
Only Pudding, Little Bean, and Master Wu knew about Liao Muchen’s secret.
That was a secret that even Liao Muchen himself did not know.
That was because… Liao Muchen, he looked very much like Su Yu.
Master Wu erased all traces of Su Yu’s existence in this world, so even the Su Family couldn’t remember having a son like him.
Only Pudding and Little Bean had their memories because of the Jade Gourd Lu Yan gave them.
So many years later, when Pudding saw a newbie in the entertainment industry named Liao Muchen, she was dumbfounded.
He looked like Su Yu, but his personality and aura were completely different.
Everyone thought that Pudding signed Liao Muchen because he was a money tree and could make a lot of it.
Only Little Bean knew that his sister did this because he looked like Handsome Su.
Huo Mian didn’t care about the entertainment industry, nor did she read any reports, so she only knew that one of Pudding’s young celebrities was very popular.
But she had never seen him before…
Pudding once wondered if her mother would remember something if she saw Liao Muchen one day.
Pudding was conflicted. She was afraid that her mother would remember, but she was also afraid that she would forget.
Although she knew that forgetting Handsome Su was the best thing for her parents, forgetting Handsome Su meant that no one remembered what Handsome Su had done for her mother, father, her, and Little Bean.
Little Bean had warned her sister many times not to let her mother see Liao Muchen to avoid a series of unhappy events.
However, the moment Liao Muchen said he wanted to come, Pudding hesitated again.
Fifteen minutes later, Pudding’s car left South Side…
Liao Muchen stood in front of the window on the fifth floor and watched the car drive away. He muttered to himself, “What a strange little girl. She always seems to be full of worries.”
It was already 11 PM when Pudding returned to South Hill Manor.
The guests were either resting or going home.
The two elders of the Su family and the two elders of the Qin family had long rested.
Pudding thought everyone was asleep, but to her surprise, the moment she walked in, she saw a heartwarming scene.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m telling the truth.” When Qin Guoguo saw that his sister’s eyes had become so scary, he felt uncertain.
Pudding was about to say something when her phone rang.
She gathered herself and picked it up. “Hello?”
“President Qin, please come over… Mu Chen and I are at the Galaxy Bar. We got into a fight… Mu Chen was injured, so we didn’t dare to call the police or the ambulance. We didn’t want to alert the media. What should we do now?”
It was Liao Muchen’s manager.
Pudding immediately got up and left.
“Hey, Sis, where are you going?” Little Bean noticed Pudding standing up so quickly like the wind, and asked.
“I have some urgent matters to attend to at the company. You guys accompany the family. I’ll be back soon.”
Pudding drove alone in her white Lamborghini.
She sped all the way to the Galaxy Bar. In the private room on the top floor.
Pudding pushed the door open and saw that only Mu Chen and his manager were left in the room.
Liao Muchen covered his head with a white handkerchief. He must have been injured.
There were also red bloodstains on his arm.
“President Qin, you’re finally here…”
“What happened?” Pudding was shocked. After all, this was the first time she had seen Liao Muchen get hurt.
Although this kid was arrogant and domineering in the past, it was always him bullying others. Why was he beaten up like this today?
“I’m fine. I just fought with someone.” Liao Muchen lowered his head and covered the wound on his head.
“Fight? Are you a kid? How old are you?” Pudding was furious.
It was rare for artists under the company to fight, especially top celebrities like Liao Muchen.
Everyone was paying attention to his every move.
If the media caught it, their image and persona would be ruined.
Then, this celebrity’s future would be ruined.
Therefore, Pudding didn’t think an 18-year-old girl like her would do something like this.
Liao Muchen was already 23 years old and an adult. How could he be so immature?
Liao Muchen stuck out his tongue at Pudding’s question but didn’t answer.
“President Qin, let’s go to the hospital first. Mu Chen seems to be seriously injured…”
The manager was scared out of his wits and didn’t have time to explain the situation to Pudding. He was only thinking about Mu Chen’s injuries.
“I’ll drive him to get his wound bandaged. You take care of the bar and keep it a secret. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Yes, President Qin.”
After the manager received the instructions, he started to handle the aftermath.
Pudding grabbed Liao Muchen’s shirt and dragged him into the Lamborghini.
“Hey, be gentle, I’m injured,” Pudding protested.
“Why didn’t you think about pain when you were fighting… You deserve it.”
It was Liao Muchen’s first time sitting in his boss’s car. He had to admit that this car was really cool and it wasn’t about how much it cost.
After this car was shipped back, it had gone through excellent modifications and became the best of the best.
“Boss, are you selling this car? I want to buy it…”
“Shut up.”
Pudding glared at him and drove straight to South Side.
Because her mother was the director of South Side, Pudding was given direct access.
She brought Liao Muchen directly to the VIP ward and got a reliable doctor to help him treat his wound and examine it.
By the time she was done, it was already half past midnight.
“President Qin… this gentleman’s injury isn’t very serious. He just needs to pay attention to his wound and change the dressing. He doesn’t need to be hospitalized.”
“Okay, thank you, Doctor Liang.”
After the doctor left, Pudding walked up to the bed and said, “You’re a superstar, yet you’re drinking and fighting? Are you crazy?”
