I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 397 Explosion
It's rare for a cover song to surpass the original. Putting aside talent, most people are just biased because the cover is more popular than the original. Fans have a preconceived notion that their idol is better than the original singer.

The original singers even felt grateful for the cover version, because if their idols hadn't covered the song, it wouldn't have become well-known.

Why would Tan Yongjie know so much about this kind of thing? Because he's done it himself!

Some people may not be famous, but they have extraordinary talent in songwriting. These works are often not written in a short period of time. It takes more than ten years, or even several decades, of experience to turn into lyrics, which are full of deep emotion.

Tan Yongjie used this method to make many of his songs popular. After they became popular, his management company would pressure him to buy the lyrics at a low price, remove the original versions, and he would naturally become the original singer.

Even if there is exposure, it usually doesn't cause much of a stir in the vast internet.

"Li Luo, I suggest you cover your ears, so that when he speaks later, it won't pollute your ears."

This time, Ye Lilu simply ignored Yuan Yongjie.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Yuan Yongjie could only turn his attention back to Chen Wei, hoping he would embarrass himself, knowing that those who try to teach others but fail never end well.

If he could make Ye Liluo's favorability towards him plummet, that would be perfect for Yuan Yongjie.

However, the moment the lyrics left Chen Wei's mouth, Yuan Yongjie's face froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How can this be?

Chen Wei's voice is absolutely heavenly, and perhaps even more so.

Furthermore, when it comes to his singing skills, looking at the entire entertainment industry—no, looking at the entire history of the entertainment industry—there are very few people who can compare to him.

Suddenly, Yuan Yongjie felt that Chen Wei was like a giant in front of him.

"Sister Meiyu, Sister Shiya, do you think he might be taking this opportunity to confess his feelings to me? He sang so passionately, my heart is pounding so hard." Ye Liluo turned to look at Su Meiyu, then at Qin Shiya, and asked excitedly.

"Xiaowei always focuses on emotion when he sings, and the infectiousness in his voice is his greatest strength. I really don't know how to answer your question so suddenly." Su Meiyu's answer was quite tactful.

Ye Liluo was very grateful that she didn't directly hurt her. It was just a joke after all, so even if it hurt, it wouldn't hurt her too much.

"What does Sister Shiya think?" Ye Liluo asked curiously.

"I... I don't understand these things, I just think it sounds nice." Qin Shiya's answer was valuable because of its authenticity.

Ye Liluo couldn't find an opportunity to interject.

The song lasted three or four minutes and was quickly finished. Chen Wei placed the microphone on the amplifier, faced the people in the three directions to his left and right, bowed slightly, and then left the stage.

"Where is he?" Chen Wei looked around but couldn't find Yuan Yongjie.

"He was just here a moment ago." Ye Liluo glanced around and realized that Yuan Yongjie had already slipped away. She chuckled and said, "He probably lost too embarrassingly and didn't want to stay any longer."

"Background aside, everyone has their own judgment on who sang well and who sang poorly. Even if we try to comfort him out of respect for his father, I don't think he'll feel comfortable with it," Su Meiyu said, sharing her opinion.

"Sigh, I should have set some kind of bet. It's so boring that you win nothing." Chen Wei sighed.

"How about I wrap myself up and give myself to you?" Ye Liluo said, her words as surprising as ever.

Although they made up for the lost time together, Su Meiyu and Qin Shiya were surprised to find that they had actually gotten used to it.

This girl really has a magical charm.

"Then we need to make this clear beforehand, is this a reward or a punishment?" Chen Wei asked seriously. "How can you be so annoying!" Chen Wei's words, as always, left Ye Lilu speechless, not knowing what to say at all.

"Speaking of which, who is this banquet for today? Why hasn't the host come out to greet the guests for so long?" If Chen Wei thought about it, anyone who could rent such a large venue for a banquet must be someone of considerable status and power.

"Haven't you heard?" Ye Liluo asked, somewhat surprised.

"Where am I supposed to hear this? I didn't even have a chance to say anything before you brought me here." Chen Wei rolled his eyes.

Ye Lilu thought about it carefully, slammed her fist on her palm, and exclaimed "Oh!" as if she had suddenly realized, "It seems there is such a thing."

"The host of today's banquet is Mr. Gu, the chairman of Changsheng Insurance," Su Meiyu explained.

"Chang Sheng Insurance? I remember that's one of the three major insurance companies in Da Xia, right?" Chen Wei wasn't sure; he rarely looked into these things.

"Yes, at today's banquet, it is said that the old man will announce who the heir is. After so long of fierce competition between his daughter and son, it's finally going to be resolved."

Hearing Su Meiyu say this, Chen Wei continued to press, "Disputes arising from inheritance battles are common. Are they famous?"

"Yes, there have been quite a few tragedies caused by disputes over inheritance over the years—assassinations, brawls, explosions… enough to make a movie," Su Meiyu said with a wry smile.

It seems that having money doesn't guarantee a comfortable retirement.

As they were talking, Su Meiyu's eyes lit up, and she gestured, "The old man is here."

She looks only in her sixties or seventies, but her physical condition gives the impression of someone in their eighties or nineties.

"Cough cough cough!" He coughs very frequently, probably because he has some kind of cancer or something.

"Thank you all for traveling so far to attend my banquet. Today is my sixty-third birthday, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce some news. As for what the news is, I think everyone knows."

Halfway through the conversation, someone pushed a trolley and presented a huge five-tiered cake to Gu Sheng.

Seeing that this person was dressed even more conservatively than himself, Chen Wei frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Moreover, the person left in a hurry after delivering the cake.

"Sister Meiyu, who is the old man's daughter here?" Chen Wei asked Su Meiyu.

Su Meiyu glanced at it and said, "Gu Ling isn't here."

"Xiao Chang, cut the cake and distribute it," Gu Sheng ordered.

“Okay, Dad.” Gu Chang picked up the sharp knife placed next to the cart, but his hand was halfway down when he heard…

"Everyone scatter! There's a bomb!"

"What? A bomb!" Chen Wei's words worked. Upon hearing this, everyone scattered and fled, trying to get as far away as possible.

"My friend, please don't cause trouble, there's no way anything could be here..."

boom!
The dazzling "dazzling light" exploded in the air, black dust fell everywhere, and hot cream, still warm, splashed all over Ye Liluo, Su Meiyu, and Qin Shiya.
