For a clearer effect, Huo Wu did not turn on an accompaniment.

It was entirely an acapella.

When the melodious music sounded slowly, the speed of the pop-ups posted in the live room seemed to slow down by a few beats.

To survive in a place like the entertainment industry, hard work wasn’t necessarily equivalent to success, but if you didn’t work hard, success would forever be impossible. In order not to be eliminated too quickly by the entertainment circle, Huo Wu worked very hard.

Her voice was clear and clean, with a distinctive quality.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were slowly immersed in such lyrical music. Although it was acapella, it was engaging enough.

As soon as the song ended, the pop-ups rolled in explosively.

“Wow, that was too good, wasn’t it?”

“Although I did not understand what was being sung, I think the singing is like ‘wow.’”

“My Goddess is not only an outstanding actress but also such a good singer. Really amazing.”

“666.”

Huo Wu smiled. Her goal had been achieved. However, in order to make her intention less obvious and return her fans’ support, she generously said, “Next is fan service. It’s a free song request session. I’ll count to five, and after five the administrator will turn off the comment function. If I can sing the last song requested, I will sing it for you.”

After Huo Wu finished speaking, she began to count down from five.

“Five… four… one!”

As soon as her voice fell, the administrator closed the comment function. The last comment on the public screen was “Xiao Man Waist.”

Huo Wu froze when she read this song title.

This song was not the one she had in mind, right? Huo Wu switched to Cool Cat to check the music and found out that the “Xiao Man Waist” song the fan requested was indeed the one she thought.

She looked at the comments that were left after the cut off and discovered that it was either “Xiao Man Waist” or “Bewitching Fox.”

Both were flirty songs.

Huo Wu waved her hand. “I don’t know how to sing ‘Xiao Man Waist.’ Then I’ll sing the song above this comment, ‘Empty,’ a very popular song recently.”

After saying that, Huo Wu turned on the accompaniment and began to sing the song.

Although she was singing “Empty,” most of the comments underneath were about “Xiao Man Waist.”

“With the anchor’s voice, I feel like singing ‘Xiao Man Waist’ will have a more special appeal.”

“Goddess, go learn it! Please!”

“It should be very sensational if it’s ‘Xiao Man Waist.’”

Huo Wu scanned casually and did not bother to read the comments.

When the song was finished, Huo Wu bade her fans goodbye.

Her live broadcast today was only a short half-hour. However, Huo Wu had a clear purpose for this live broadcast. After achieving her goal, she closed the live broadcast and said goodbye to her fans until the next time.

After singing songs, Huo Wu gave her manager Susan a call. “Sister Susan, I had a live broadcast tonight.”

“I know.”

“I sang an acapella of ‘Hug’ during the live broadcast.”

“Okay, I know what to do, Ah Wu.”

After ending the call, Huo Wu slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

At present, she didn’t need to do anything anymore, and the next step would depend on how capable Susan was.

Results showed that Susan didn’t let her down at all.

The next day, the matter about Huo Yuqin’s lip-syncing once again festered. Since Huo Wu sang a “Hug” acapella beforehand, the water army that Susan also hired started to bring in the momentum in regards to this topic.

“If Huo Yuqin didn’t lip-sync, then open a live acapella to prove herself, ah.”

“Huo Wu live-streamed, what are you afraid of?”

Although there were still some hardcore fans who were firmly on Huo Yuqin’s side, there were some unsuspecting members of the public who started to get up in arms.

“Live-stream! Prove yourself!”

“Live-stream!”

In the end, some of Huo Yuqin’s fans also left comments saying they wanted her to live-stream.

When it came down to it, Huo Yuqin had never opened a live-stream, and even more so, had never sung during a live broadcast.

To prove that she didn’t lip-sync, singing acapella during a live broadcast to prove herself was an excellent way to clear her name.

But Huo Yuqin was slow to take a stand, and not even a single Weibo affirmation was posted.

Huo Wu was a hundred percent positive that Huo Yuqin wouldn’t open a live broadcast.

Because she dared not to.

Slowly, a growing number of people began to believe Huo Yuqin’s lip-syncing.

Because of Huo Yuqin’s attitude, they couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Even some small fans who weren’t very firm in their stance began to doubt Huo Yuqin.

Huo Wu watched as the situation developed. One afternoon, Huo Wu suddenly received a phone call from Huo Yuqin. On the phone, she said she wanted to find a place to have a proper talk with Huo Wu.

Huo Wu pondered over it and agreed to the meeting.

Because she was going to see Huo Yuqin, Huo Wu purposely brought her female driver and bodyguard to the agreed tea shop for safety.

When Huo Wu arrived, Huo Yuqin was already there.

She looked unwell. Her face was a bit haggard, and she looked like she hadn’t rested well in a very long time.

As soon as Huo Wu sat down, Huo Yuqin looked at her coldly and said, “You did it, didn’t you?”

Huo Wu glanced at her.

Huo Yuqin then said viciously, “It’s all your doing, right? The female lead role of Clouds of Smoke that was initially mine, and the soon-to-be-negotiated Northern Wolf both ended up disappearing. In addition, my recent lip-syncing fiasco is all your tricks behind the scenes, right? Even my elder brother doesn’t answer my calls. You must have bad-mouthed me in front of him, right? You’re really vicious!”

Huo Wu did not expect that Huo Yusen actually rejected Huo Yuqin’s calls.

Although unexpected, it was reasonable.

Huo Wu slowly smiled upon hearing this.

Although she was smiling, the depths of her eyes were dripping with frost.

Huo Wu asked slowly, “Vicious? Can I be as vicious as you?”

Huo Yuqin gritted her teeth and stared daggers at Huo Wu.

Huo Wu continued unhurriedly, “Besides, how can you say that I played tricks? Didn’t you lip-sync? I was just doing a good deed and letting your fans see your hypocritical true colors.”

Huo Yuqin tightly clenched her hands on the table into fists. She snorted, her voice brimming with mockery.

Huo Wu curled her lips into a smile. “As for the resources you mentioned, I don’t like you and want to take all of them from you. What about it?” To anger Huo Yuqin, Huo Wu deliberately stressed every word.

Huo Yuqin never imagined that Huo Wu would say such words so righteously. Her face turned white with anger at once.

Huo Wu propped up her chin and took in Huo Yuqin’s gaffe with great interest. “Huo Yuqin, when I was in the Huo residence, you did the same old thing, one thing on the surface and another at the back. I haven’t confronted you to settle those accounts yet. You did that, and then you caused me to lose face at that amusement park incident too. What? Did you think I really wouldn’t do anything back to you?”

After speaking, Huo Wu slowly leaned forward, stretched out her right hand, and slapped Huo Yuqin in the face mercilessly.

This time, she slapped Huo Yuqin without reservations, making half of her face swing back with force.

“Huo Wu!”

Huo Wu stared down at Huo Yuqin from above. “Huo Yuqin, remember, this is the price you pay for messing with me.”
