章 29: Mall escapade

Chapter 29

(Unedited)

City A, biggest mall

Three beautiful women are currently chatting with each other while shopping. Since Manager Lan has the gift check, the three began buying a lot of stuff especially clothes, shoes, bags, etc…

Actually, the gift check that Manager Lan has gotten is only worth 1,000. But she also has a lot of discount coupons from different stores that Ma Liling has been endorsing, so the three uses those after the gift check we used.

At this time, they planned to forget everything and just waste their time shopping.

Ma Liling did not put on any makeup and just wore a face mask to cover her face. Although some of the sales personnel seem to recognize her, they have their doubts.

So, the three had fun, and after a while of shopping, they rested in a café inside the mall. They took an inconspicuous seat as they did not want people to discover Ma Liling.

After a while of resting, the three seem to have been recharged once again and began going around the mall and buying stuff.

Women seem to like shopping as they could not help to buy something especially if that something attracts their eyes.

After the gift check was used up, they began using Yi Beiwei's membership card.

And the girls seem to have forgotten about time and the problem they have been plagued the whole day.

It was an effective emotional and stress reliever for them.

Not long later, they soon ended their shopping, and the three separated by the entrance of the mall.

But who would have known that as Manager Lan takes the bags off of Ma Liling's hands, she would drop one of them?

"It's okay, you can put the rest in the car, and I'll pick this up." Ma Liling said gesturing Manager Lan to go first.

As she picks up the paper bag, someone noticed her and suddenly recognized her.

"Hey, isn't that Ma Liling!"

"Yes! It's Ma Liling! Oh my god! It's my goddess!"

"Where? Where is Ma Liling!"

It seems like an avalanche just happened, as one person after another began running towards Ma Liling's direction. This stunned her as she saw a flock of people suddenly running towards her.

Right now, she is wearing a knee-length green dress and a pair of short heeled sandals. So when she saw the sea of people coming towards her, it was easy for Ma Liling to quickly run away from them. She dare not face those people as she knew that she would be flattened by their slowly increasing number.

She quickly enters the mall entrance and soon saw a small corner. However, before she could enter that corner, she saw many people walking towards her.

When those people noticed and masked woman, they frowned. But one of them seems to be her fan as she suddenly pointed her finger.

"Ma Liling!"

Her words seem to have made the whole crowd in the mall turned silent and their heads seem to turn in their direction.

Ma Liling's heart skipped a beat. She felt a little confounded and helpless, she was very careful to cover her face, but how could she expect that her fans would still recognize her?

She truly could not fool her loyal fans who seem to be familiar with every angle of her face. When she turns around, she could see many people walking towards her, and in her front are her smiling fans. She wanted to turn to her right, however, it was the center of the mall, and if she walks there, she would surely be trapped by the sea of people.

Manager Lan even looks hopeless as she wanted to break through the crowd of people but was unable to.

Suddenly, Ma Liling did not have a choice but to slowly walk to the center where many eyes are glued to her.

Her mind is now beginning to churn as she tries to think of a way to escape her predicament.

The mall security is helpless at this moment even though they wanted to stop the crowd.

Without a choice, she walks to the center of the open space. Then in the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw a small stage where some activities which seem to be held in the mall just finished. But the microphone and its sound system are still in there.

An idea pops into her mind but shook it as she would surely attract more attention if she did what she was thinking.

Suddenly from the crowd, someone shouted.

"Ma Liling! I love you! Sing for us please!"

Everyone likes this idea and they all cheered!

"Yes! Sing! Sing!"

The crowd began to cheer. With the crowd's attitude, Ma Liling did not know if these people knew of her scandal or if they are oblivious to it. However, from the way they are cheering her on, she seems to feel that something is wrong with these people.

In fact, they should be ridiculing her or worst, shouting curses at her. But instead, they wanted to hear her sing? How did everything turn like this?

Ma Liling shook her head in helplessness and since she would be resting for a while and that her fans are still loyal to her, she decided to give them what they want. If she is going to be off the entertainment circle entertaining then it would be like her farewell to them.

She walks to the small stage and then grabs the microphone.

"Hello, everyone!" she said while taking off her mask.

"It seems that many are still my fans and believe in me." She said while she flashes her angelic smile.

"I am not going to say anything about my issues, but I just wanted to give something to all of my fans today…" she began, and then she looks at the sea of people who have already formed a large crowd which made the mall security a bit perplexed.

Suddenly, Ma Liling showed her beautiful smile and put the microphone near her mouth.

She closes her eyes, and when she opened them, her countenance changed. Those who knew her immediately shouted in glee. They knew that their idol will now show them why she was considered the most talented woman in the entertainment industry.

And when she opens her mouth, the whole mall turned silent as they began to listen to that angelic voice that once dominated the music industry.

Within the crowd, a tall ad handsome figure wearing silver spectacles is standing while looking at the singing beautiful woman on the stage.

章 30: Unexpected free concert

Chapter 30

(Unedited)

If time is unyielding on you

When life hits you hard

When fate is too cruel to let you be

Oh, just reach out your hand

And, I… Oh… I… I will…

Like the wind that's blowing in the light blue sky

My voice will linger

Like the tallest mountain in the east

My love will stay

Like the endless river flow

My heart will beat…

For you…

Reach out! Reach out! And, I… Ohhh I…

Will be beside you… Don't give up… Darling… Cuz… I…

I will tell you that, I…

I… Oh…

I…

love you…

The soft and cool voice of Ma Liling and her emotion flowing through her song made the crowd turn silent. Many are even wiping their faces because of tears. They did not expect that with only an acapella everyone would feel the emotion of the lyrics.

No one is familiar with the song, but they did not mind. Right now, everyone is too engrossed in the moment as they feel like they are seeing a woman loving a man even in his deepest troubling times.

The emotion in the crowd is truly something that they did not expect.

Those who are Ma Liling's fans are already bawling while looking at her singing alone on that stage.

Her lonely figure made them really immersed in the song and everyone was really taken aback.

As she ended the song with a string of oh's and ah's… everyone turned silent.

"Encore! Encore!"

The crowd shouted while she looks at the people helplessly. At this moment, she did not care about anything else. In truth, she was really hurt by the scandal and what those people online said about her. She dare not read it as per the advice of Yi Beiwei. Although she knew that many of her fans are still loyal, she knew that many of them are already not.

She has taken care of her career for many years and has been very careful, but she never expected to fall for some cheap trick.

After singing, she feels like she wanted to show those who despise her that she will end everything with a high note this time. She would disappear with a bang, that those who are trying to ruin her would not see her crying.

Right at this moment, she has decided to go out with a bang…

A group suddenly walks to the stage; she immediately knew that these people are the band that was playing on this stage.

She approached them and then showed them something on her phone. With a couple of nods, the band was already ready to play another song.

Ma Liling grabs the mic and then smiled at the crowd.

"Before the mall kicks me out of here… I will leave you all a song that I wrote a few years back…" she said and then the guitar starts playing.

Right now, many phones are already recording. How could they miss this chance to hear their goddess sing?

Ma Liling looks at the second floor and waved her hand while showing her angelic smile.

I was all alone, even hiding from myself

Nothing has been easy, where can I turn

No friends, No family can help…

No love, No one…

Then suddenly you came…

In the four corners of that window

You let me live again

And for that I thank you

I miss your touch, I miss your smile

Now love for me is real

But sometimes I wonder if you are real

Oh… I wish… My wish…

For you to be

Real

In the four corners of that window

I hope that you are real…

Yeah! Yeah!

The slightly lively and catchy tune made everyone began swaying left and right with smiles on their faces. Even though the lyrics seem a bit wishful and about someone being hopeful, the rhythm and her voice made them feel like it was a happy wish of a woman who found hope in her darkest moment.

As the crowd listens to the music and the band follows the arrangement on their phones, the mall was filled with a happy atmosphere which even made those who are lovers held their hands.

Ma Liling could see the effect of her song and she even wanted to tear up. But she controlled her voice and her emotion so that the crowd would not be affected by her.

In her mind, she remembers the young man studying in college. He would always contact her and the two of them would talk for hours and share their day. What they like to do, and what they wanted to eat, those most basic things that made their simple life blissful.

When she was down and having problems with her mother's sickness, he was there to comfort her. He would always tell her that everything would be alright and that he would be there for her and that miracle would happen.

True to his words, when she was in need of money for her mother's medicine she was approached by a person distributing pamphlets. It was a low-interest loan which made her a bit skeptical. However, when she borrowed money from them without a choice, she was shocked that the information was actually legit.

The interest was really low.

And so with that, she and her mother were able to go through their troubling times.

The more she thinks of that guy whom she now married the more she thinks that he was the miracle in her life. He was the reason why she became strong and endures on living.

And now, her life once again is facing turmoil but she is not worried anymore. Because she knew that he is there.

As she was ending her song, she slowly walks towards the band.

Meanwhile, Manager Lan has already gotten her hand signal while she was singing and has prepared an exit path for her.

As soon as she finished singing, she turns around and walks behind the stage.

Everything was in order and prepared as the security is already in place. As she was exiting, from an unknown position a man wearing a black cap suddenly went past the security.

Then when he was standing in front of Ma Liling, he showed a sinister smile on his face.

"I have a message from the young mistress…" he said as he suddenly takes out a small vial from his hand.

As if time has stopped, even Ma Liling was caught off-guard as her eyes are glued to that sinister but familiar face.

The man moves his hand with the liquid vial in his hand as he wanted to splash it in her face.

"It's time for the angel to fall…" the man sinisterly said.
