Chapter 107: Chapter 108 Xu Tianhou_1
“Don’t be too anxious, there’s no use in rushing and stressing yourself out, don’t you agree?”
The producer chuckled and was about to arrange the manuscript when a sizable commotion ca from the left.
Upon turning around, he saw Xu Jingjing elegantly stepping towards them. Her shades covered more than half of her exquisite face, followed by seven to eight assistants and her manager, making quite the scene.
Without blinking, she headed straight for the elevator, ignoring Prince and the others.
“Xu Tianhou, Xu Tianhou, where are you off to?” Julie rushed over from not too far away, desperately trailing behind her.
Seeing Prince and the others, Julie was like a drowning woman clutching at straws: “Mr. Prince, Xu Tianhou, she…”
“Miss Xu, what is…”
Through her sunglasses, Xu Jingjing glanced at him and then disdainfully removing them: “After such a long ti, there still isn’t a musical score that satisfies . This is a waste of my ti. I quit! For the breach of contract fine, please talk to my lawyer. I have other engagents to attend to, OK?”
Looking at Xu Jingjing’s emotionless face, Prince felt a shock akin to ten thousand alpacas stampeding through his heart. Containing the impulse to explode, he tried to squeeze out a smile, only to be interrupted by Xu Jingjing: “OK, don’t say anything more, I don’t have ti to dawdle.”
The elevator arrived with a ding.
Watching as Xu Jingjing was about to depart, Prince could no longer sit idle. He grabbed the manuscript from the producer and stuffed it into Xu Jingjing’s hands: “We have the score. We were waiting for your review.”
Feeling desperate, he thought, ‘if it’s a matter of life or death, might as well try everything. Even if she doesn’t stay, at least he’ll have tried.’
Xu Jingjing took a glance and accepted it sowhat patiently. Thinking that if they still hadn’t received a suitable manuscript, she would have all the more reason to leave and save herself from wasting more ti with these people.
The title ‘The Beauty of Yesteryears’ was boldly displayed at the top. As Xu Jingjing’s gaze moved down the page, she was drawn to the impressively striking characters.
Her maternal grandfather was a practitioner of calligraphy, so she was quite knowledgeable about it. The writing was profoundly ethereal, yet firmly seated within the grid, exuding a fearless yet delicate charm.
People say handwriting reflects the person; what kind of exquisite individual could have written these characters?
Moving on to the lyrics —
Missing you when you’re not here, missing you even more.
Can’t stand the separation, bear the separation.
The beauty of yesteryears, regardless of the passing of ti.
With love, only love that remains steadfast.
…
Upon finishing the lyrics, Xu Jingjing froze, oblivious to her manager’s prodding from behind. While humming she imrged herself into the song, gradually becoming lost within the lody.
An unprecedented desire surged from the depths of her heart, causing her to tremble slightly; her hand clutching the thin sheet of paper.
The incredible lyrics and beautiful lody, this song magnificently exceeded her expectations!
It was as if she traversed through ti and space, visualizing the resplendent yet bloody Forbidden City from a hundred years ago. It was a world filled with factional fights and struggles, the glorious but superficial world of power and splendour.
A woman surpassed all in her beauty. She ca from high birth, reduced to an obscure figure one day, before achieving fa and success overnight.
When she looked up, her manager noticed tears streaming down Xu Jingjing’s face.
“Jingjing…”
Surprised, her manager called out to her. Xu Jingjing finally reacted, “It’s nothing, I just find this song to be exactly what I need. I’ll sing it.”
