Elaine said seriously, “So what? Nowadays, you don’t need acting skills and an angelic voice to be a star. Pretty is enough! Look at those popular stars, they can make albums even if they sing like crap; they can even act in movies even if they can’t speak properly. Why? Because they are pretty!”Claire shook her head and said helplessly, “That’s enough, Mom. Just let me watch the show.”Elaine added, “Claire, I’m being serious. I really think that you have what it takes…”At this moment, Quinn started singing, and Elaine couldn’t help exclaiming, “Oh my! This girl’s voice is really nice!”Claire hurriedly waved her hand. “Be quiet, Mom!”Charlie was a little surprised when he heard Quinn singing. He thought that she was an idol star with a pretty face, but once she started singing, her voice and skill were definitely professional level.The song she sang had a melodious and fresh tune that was comparable to the songs of the well-known divas.Charlie couldn’t help but be immerse
The Spring Festival Gala was broadcasted live to 1.4 billion viewers nationwide, so when Charlie finished watching her solo performance in front of the TV, Quinn had just finished her performance and came backstage.The first thing she did was to send Charlie a message before she got changed. She was most concerned about Charlie’s opinion of her performance.Initially, the gala director team wanted her to sing another song which was about friendship, which she had promised them a long time ago, but after meeting Charlie again, she had a change of heart.Therefore, she negotiated with the director team and expressed her wish to change the song.At first, they were reluctant to do so as the program was meticulously planned and such things as the temporary song changed almost never happened.However, as Quinn continued to reason her change persistently, the team finally made a compromise seeing that she really wanted to sing the song so badly.The reason why Quinn chose to sing the
So, Charlie replied, “Then you should hurry up and go back to accompany Uncle and Aunt. Help me to send a greeting to them. I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year!”Quinn also replied, “Thank you, Charlie. I wish you a Happy New Year too!”After that, Charlie put away his cell phone and he concentrated on watching the Spring Festival Gala with his wife, Claire.When it was almost twelve o’clock at midnight, Jacob lamented, “Although it is really much more environmentally friendly now that firecrackers have been banned, the New Year atmosphere seems to be lacking. It is really a pity…”“That’s right.” Claire who was aside could not help but sigh as she said, “When I was young, I especially liked the smell of the fire and smoke after the firecrackers are lit. It is rare for us to have the opportunity to see firecrackers nowadays.”Charlie replied, “Although we are not allowed to set off firecrackers in the urban area, it is still possible for us to set off firecrackers in
Charlie drove directly to Shangri-La. At this time, Isaac’s subordinate had already pushed a trolley out as he waited at the entrance for him.When he saw that Charlie had already arrived, he hurriedly pushed the trolley forward before he said respectfully, “Master Wade, Mr. Cameron asked me to prepare some fireworks and firecrackers for you. Would you like me to help you to put it into your car for you?”Charlie nodded before he opened his car trunk and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”The other party hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Master Wade, you are too polite. This is what I should do.”After that, the other party hurriedly moved several large boxes of fireworks into the BMW car trunk.Charlie thanked the other party again before he drove back towards the villa. At the same time, he called Claire to ask her and his parents-in-law to get ready so that they could get into the car directly when he arrived. After that, they could look for a place where they could set of
Jacob raised his head to look at the fireworks and there was magnificent radiance reflected on his face. His face that was already wrinkled was filled with happiness and bliss.At this moment, Jacob inevitably thought of Matilda.This would be the first Spring Festival that Matilda would be celebrating after coming back to the country after more than twenty years.Jacob secretly took out his cell phone before he sent a text message to Matilda. His text message consisted of only four words, “Happy New Year, Matilda!”At this time, Charlie’s cell phone had also been bombarded by various notifications.Many people had sent him their New Year greetings at this moment. However, since Charlie did not have the energy to reply each of these messages one by one, he simply posted a text message to everyone in his circle of friends, “Happy New Year to all of my family and friends!”That night, there was a myriad of twinkling lights in the city of Aurous Hill.Charlie’s family of four staye
Lady Wilson finally enjoyed a full meal and had a good night’s sleep.Unexpectedly, her room door would be kicked open by an extremely angry Jennifer early in the morning!Before Lady Wilson could even react, Jennifer rushed directly to her bed and she gave her a tight slap across her face as she cursed angrily, “You damn old woman! You even dare to steal the rice inside the incense burner that I use to offer incense to the Goddess of Mercy. Don’t you have any ethics at all?”Lady Wilson felt very dizzy after getting slapped by Jennifer. When she saw Jennifer’s face that was up close and filled with anger and rage, she was so frightened that she hurriedly pleaded, “Jennifer! I am sorry, Jennifer! I really did not want to steal your items either. However, I was really too hungry…”Jennifer was furious and she gritted her teeth in anger as she said, “It’s your own problem if you are starving or hungry. What has it got to do with me? I use that incense burner to offer incense to the G
Since there was no one going out to make money, they naturally had no food to cook. So, the family of four could only go hungry.Ever since Christopher and Harold kidnapped Elaine and accidentally kidnapped Carmen along with her by mistake, the Wilson family of four had all lost weight and they had all been living a very miserable life.Charlie and his family next door had already packed up some of their belongings at noon on the first day of New Year as they drove to the hot springs villa that Isaac had given to Charlie. Their family planned to stay and relax at the hot spring villa for two days.That night when they arrived at the hot spring villa, Carmen was sitting inside a shabby rental house as she stared gloomily at a pack of takeaway dumplings.Ever since Charlie had detained her in Aurous Hill, Carmen had been eating takeaway food every day.What was even more hateful was the fact that Charlie would not allow her to order the takeaway food on her own. All of the takeaway
Albert’s subordinate did not know Carmen’s specific background and details.All he knew was that this middle-aged woman required strict supervision under his boss’s orders. He did not know anything about her name, where she came from, or anything about her background at all. He was completely ignorant about her identity.Therefore, when Carmen threw a huge fit because of the dumplings that he had brought here for her out of kindness, he immediately got very angry. He felt that he was being kind toward an unappreciative and ungrateful person.Carmen would never have expected that a subordinate who was working for Charlie’s subordinate, would actually have the audacity to talk to her in this manner. So, she suddenly became very angry and frustrated.She pointed at the other party as she said sternly, “Do you know who I am? You actually dare to talk to me like this?!”The other party ground his teeth as he cursed, “I don’t care who you are! You actually dared to insult the dumplings
