This concert was different from vocal concert. This was more an elegant performance when compared to the contemporaries in the field of music, so it had higher requirements for the audience. Wing had quite different fans all over the world. They were crazy about her and treated her like a superstar, more than an artist. Maybe it was because of her appearance or even the mysterious family background. In their eyes, Wing was an angel who could save them from the impending doom of darkness... And what's more, Spark, who was called the Violin Prince, would perform at the event tonight!
Brian got all ready in a three-piece black suit with a white shirt inside. He looked perfect in this normal yet classy statement black suit.
Molly wore the dress which Shirley bought for her at the Falloon Mall the other day. When she arrived at the concert, she noticed that Shirley was wearing the same attire. And Richie too, just like Brian, was wearing a black suit. They looked funnily coordinated.
Shirley revealed a bright and eye-catching smile when she saw Molly in the same dress. With the same outfit, they looked almost like mother and daughter.
Brian drew a poker face as he saw Shirley smiling about their similar dresses. But after greeting Richie, he gestured at Molly to go with them. He then guided himself to the backstage.
Shirley then took Molly straight to the VIP seats. She was going to fly to South Africa with Richie tomorrow morning. She looked happy, but deep inside, she was unwilling to stay away from Molly.
The screen in the concert hall was replaying recordings from previous charity concerts organised by Wing. Molly was a little upset and unhappy when Brian went to backstage without her. But she didn't think much about that.
Shirley cast a glance at the screen and complained, ''Brian is always close to his sister, and I am so jealous of their relationship!"
"His sister?" wondered Molly as she heard her being mentioned for the first time. She looked at Shirley.
"Yes, his sister, Wing!" replied Shirley trying to stir up trouble. Molly looked puzzled. Shirley asked," Little Molly, didn't you know about that?"
"I actually... didn't know about this at all," Molly replied honestly.
Shirley smiled suddenly and explained," Well, she is Wing. Her name at birth was..."
Shirley paused deliberately trying to build up the suspense and slowly said as she noticed that Molly was growing nervous," ... Long XingLing!"
"Long XingLing?" asked Molly curiously trying to rest her beating heart. *
Shirley nodded and replied," Yes, you heard it right, Long XingLing! Well she is my daughter and Brian's older sister."
Molly was stunned. It never occurred to her that Wing was Brian's sister. It all seemed so unreal.
