"Although this is a new show, I’ve been wanting to interview you for a full five years!" The talk show host, Qingqing, said with a smile, "Since you decided to leave the entertainment industry five years ago and now make a comeback, there have been many speculations about your return. Some even say you came back for the money; is that true?!"
"In a way, yes, but not entirely!" Luo Xiaoqian replied calmly, "Recently, there have been some issues with Emperor View, and Zimo wasn’t in the best health. I did need money at the time. However, even without this opportunity, I would have returned because the theme song for our movie ’Magic Realm’ 2 will be sung by me personally. Coming back to the stage was already planned; I just moved it up by a few days."
"I appreciate your honesty. But as far as I know, just a day before the show started, Mr. Leng actually called our TV station, trying to negotiate whether he could replace you. Did you know that?!"
"Oh?!" Luo Xiaoqian was a bit surprised, "I really didn’t know that!"
"They all say Emperor Leng dotes on you a lot, and now I’ve truly seen it!" The host waved his hand lightly, "We have the recording as proof!"
On the big screen appeared a photo of Leng Zimo, and the voiceover was a recording of a phone conversation.
"Mr. Leng, what you mean is..."
"You can find any excuse to refuse Luo Xiaoqian’s attendance on the program. I will handle all breach penalties, or I can take time out in the future to attend your talk show."
"In that case, wouldn’t it be a bit unfair to Miss Luo Xiaoqian?"
Leng Zimo paused for a moment and then spoke again after a while, "I’ll think about it again."
...
"As far as we know, your relationship with Leng Zimo hasn’t always been smooth. There have been situations like third parties getting involved, and some have slandered you. What would you like to say to those who once hurt you?"
"I want to thank them!" Luo Xiaoqian’s voice was calm, "Everyone goes through hardships in life, but if you stick to your beliefs, you can overcome them. I want to thank all those who’ve hurt me because they made me stronger. Of course, I’m even more grateful to the friends and family who reached out to help me when I needed it most, because of you I never felt alone. I’m very fortunate to have you all around me!"
Applause erupted in the live broadcast room.
