Master Xiao, Your Wife Has Reborn
Chapter 238 - A Cappella?
Chapter 238 A Cappella?
At the thought of this, Merlin got even more confident. The handsome Chairman Xi would be hers soon. Just let this girl fend for herself. She could not wait for Su Jin to start, so she said hurriedly,
“There’s a professional band here. Once you decide on your song, just pass the music score to the band. Is five minutes enough time for you to prepare?” Performing on stage was not something that could be done at the last minute. Merlin had rehearsed onsite for half a day yesterday just so she could have a smooth performance today. If she gave this girl only five minutes, the band might not be able to coordinate well with her. It would not be a smooth performance even if she sang beautifully. So what if she knew so many languages? Wouldn’t she still lose?
Su Jin knew what Merlin meant. How could such a small matter be a hurdle to her? Looking at the smug Merlin, the corners of Su Jin’s mouth curled up as she said coldly,
“There’s no need for that long. Two minutes would suffice.”
Merlin’s heart burst with joy when she heard this. This girl was over-confident. Two minutes? The band might not even be able to finish reading the music score. Without good coordination, this girl would definitely lose. But, was she trying to admit defeat when she said that?
At the thought of this, Merlin got even happier. She knew that this girl was no match for her. Since she wanted to admit defeat, as the host of the banquet, she had to give Su Jin face, so she asked lightly,
“Are you afraid? Do you want to admit defeat?”

Merlin was inexplicably excited, but she felt a little uneasy. She could not be slapped in the face twice in a row by the same person. If that happened, she might not want to live anymore!
The corners of Su Jin’s mouth rose slightly when she saw Merlin’s esthetic expression. There was a hint wickedness in her smile. She really did not understand where Merlin got her confidence from. Merlin actually assumed that she would admit defeat.
“I would like to say that I don’t need your band. I will sing a cappella.”
Merlin’s uneasiness dissipated when she heard this. This girl was so cute. It would have been fine if she admitted defeat, but she wanted to humiliate herself. This was not because she, Merlin, did not give her a chance. Merlin gloated, “A cappella? Are you sure?”
A cappella was a true test of a person’s singing ability. A person’s imperfect singing could be concealed under the accompaniment of music but with a cappella, the person’s shortcomings would be infinitely magnified.
Even a celebrity like her would not choose a cappella, but this girl dared to do so. She was simply courting death! Wasn’t it obvious that she wanted to lose? This victory came too easily.
Su Jin looked at the smug Merlin and imagined her expression when she got slapped in the face later. She could not help but feel a little happy. There would always be people who wanted to bang their heads against the wall. Since that was the case, she, Su Jin, would fulfill their wish. She replied plainly,
“Yes and I have another request. My song is a medley so it might take a little longer. Is that okay?” When Merlin heard this, she felt that victory was within grasp. It was already difficult to sing a cappella, and she was worried that Su Jin’s shortcomings would not be exposed if the song was too short. And now, this girl actually wanted to perform a longer song.
Wouldn’t this give everyone a chance to discover her flaws? It was like a godsend. Victory was almost guaranteed. Merlin was overjoyed at the thought of this. She said as she walked down the stage, “Sure. Please start when you’re ready.”
Su Jin nodded, closed her eyes, and counted in her heart. Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin nervously but expectantly. Singing a cappella was really challenging. He wondered if the young girl would be able to do it… Xi Tian was also extremely nervous. Has Madam gone too far this time? That Merlin was no ordinary singer. He could only silently cheer for Madam in his heart, hoping that Madam would slap Merlin’s face again.
The rest of the guests, however, had disdain on their faces. They chatted and drank with each other without any desire to listen to Su Jin’s song. In their hearts, Su Jin had already lost. After all, Miss Merlin was one of the top celebrities in the country. How could a girl from nowhere sing better than Miss Merlin? Unless a god was standing onstage, there was no way she could win!
