Ou Mengmeng blinked at Lin Tian, indicating her innocence. Just as she was about to put down the phone, Ou Qinglan’s voice suddenly came through: "Wait, who did you just mention?"

Ou Mengmeng was momentarily confused and asked, "Tian Xiaotian, a young girl, she sings really well..."

"I wasn’t asking who sings. Did you just mention Lin Tian?" Ou Qinglan interrupted her, her tone strange.

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what Ou Qinglan meant. However, Ou Mengmeng didn’t hesitate and replied, "Yes, Lin Tian. Tian Xiaotian is an artist under one of his companies. We just rescued her from Li Wenrong."

"We’ll discuss the details later. I’ll arrange for that girl to perform on stage. That’s all; I have other matters to attend to." Ou Qinglan said, leaving everyone surprised.

As everyone was getting over their surprise, Ou Qinglan had already hung up the phone. Indeed, she was a decisive businesswoman who handled things efficiently.

Ou Mengmeng held the phone with a bewildered look: "Damn, is she my cousin or Lin Tian’s cousin? The favoritism is too obvious. She immediately agreed upon hearing Lin Tian’s name."

Her expression seemed as if her young heart had taken a massive blow. Everyone stared at Lin Tian with strange expressions, and Zhou Botong even wondered if his brother Lin Tian might have a thing going with Ou Qinglan. Wouldn’t that make him my brother-in-law in the future?

Although Ou Qinglan was older than Xiao Manxue, her natural beauty made her appear young. Most importantly, she was still single. Zhou Botong also wondered which man could conquer such a formidable woman as Ou Qinglan.

My brother Lin Tian might just be the one; strong, invincible, tall, and handsome. He should be able to win over Ou Qinglan. A sibling romance sounds good too. Zhou Botong’s imagination ran wild; who knows how Lin Tian would react if he found out?

"Ahem, let’s check on how Xiao Tian’s preparations are going." Lin Tian swiftly changed the subject and headed towards the recording building, leaving the others to follow. Ou Mengmeng was still in a daze, unable to understand it all.

The typically quiet recording building was now brightly lit and bustling with activity. People were constantly coming and going, including quite a few foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

"It’s so lively here. Wow, I think I saw a singer from England going in..." Xiao Manxuan exclaimed in amazement.

"There are not only recording studios here but also an image design center. All the makeup and other preparations before going on stage are done here. It seems tonight’s performers have all arrived, and everyone’s busy getting ready." Ou Mengmeng explained. She’d seen this scene more than once, so she was familiar with it.

They arrived at the recording studio and saw Tian Xiaotian practicing with a music sheet. Several people surrounded her, doing her makeup and hair. On the other side, someone was rummaging through a suitcase, seemingly looking for an outfit for tonight’s performance.

"Mr. Qi, how are the preparations coming along?" Mr. Qi hadn’t gone out with Lin Tian but stayed in the recording studio to oversee everything according to the plan. As soon as Lin Tian walked in, he asked Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi hurried over and replied, "The singing part shouldn’t be an issue. She’s very talented, and Teacher Qu custom-made a song for her, finished just last month. She only needs to sing one song well tonight; the rest can be gradually practiced later."

"But we don’t have a suitable dress for her. The dresses are all too...mature and don’t match her vibe." Mr. Qi hesitated, using ’mature’ to describe it, although he wanted to say ’sexy’ because the dresses were either low-cut or backless, fully showcasing a woman’s best attributes.

It was fine for other female stars to wear that, but Tian Xiaotian was going for a pure style. A little bit of sexiness was okay, but cleavage and large back exposure were inappropriate.

"Leave this to me." Ou Mengmeng snapped her fingers and said confidently, then took out her phone and made another call.

"Xiao Meng, bring me a few dresses, pure style, to Room 101 in the recording studio. Quick." Ou Mengmeng instructed as soon as she started speaking.

It wasn’t long before five people entered the recording studio, each carrying two exquisite bags.

"Miss Ou, there are ten dresses here in total. Do you think they’ll work?" the leading girl asked.

"Just leave them here. I’ll handle the rest. If I need anything else, I’ll contact you." Ou Mengmeng nodded as the five placed the items down and left.

"Xiao Tian, come on, let’s go try on the clothes." Ou Mengmeng picked up two bags and brought them into the inner room, then called for Tian Xiaotian to come along.

Trying on clothes is one of women’s favorite activities, so Xiao Manxuan and Ou Mengmeng joined in, while the men stayed outside.

Lin Tian and the others were bored waiting outside. Women’s dressing usually takes quite some time, and after more than half an hour, the door of the inner room finally creaked open.

Xiao Manxuan and Ou Mengmeng escorted Tian Xiaotian out. Seeing Tian Xiaotian in the dress, Lin Tian and the others were all impressed.

Tian Xiaotian wore a white silk dress adorned with small white flowers on her chest and waist, with a light green lace belt accentuating her slim waist.

The hem of the dress reached her knees, revealing a pair of fair, slender legs. She wore light green high-heeled sandals. Her long hair reached her waist, giving off a pure and sweet aura without losing elegance. A simple hair accessory added a touch of charm without appearing cluttered.

If she had a pair of transparent wings, she’d be like a fairy fallen to the human world.

"Hehe, judging by your expressions, I can tell the effect. Our taste isn’t bad, right?" Xiao Manxuan said proudly. Coming from wealthy families, she and Ou Mengmeng had a fashion sense comparable to image designers.

"The saying ’Clothes make the man, gold makes the Buddha’ proves true. This look will surely surprise Bitong." Lin Tian looked the young girl up and down, nodding with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Tian Xiaotian blushed as Lin Tian stared at her, feeling shy, which only added to her charm— the allure of a young girl’s bashfulness.

Zhou Botong laughed heartily, "Haha, Xiao Tian will be stunning on stage, and Bitong will be so angry she might cough blood. Just imagining it feels satisfying, hahahaha."

"Exactly, let her be pissed." Ou Mengmeng nodded vigorously.

Ring ring... Just as they were chatting, phone ringtones sounded, and it wasn’t just one phone; both Yun Xiaotian and Ou Mengmeng took out their phones to answer.

After putting down the phone, Yun Xiaotian spoke first: "Brother Lin, Mom and Dad are here. I need to go over for a bit. Do you want to join me?"

"I’ll wait a bit. After we’re done here, I’ll visit Uncle Yun and Aunt Wang." Lin Tian thought for a moment, deciding to stay. In case anything happened, Mr. Qi couldn’t handle it alone. Today, almost everyone at Coastal Villa was wealthier and more influential than the Qi family.
