Chapter 899 Unexpected Discovery
"You...why are you here!?" Restraining the fear in his heart, Art stiffened his neck and looked at the visitor.
Saotome Ranzo plays the contemporary head of the famous Saotome family and is also the biological father of Art Saotome. However, there was no contact after Art gave up the path of acting and chose to pursue his ideal of flying.
Also, the relationship between Art and Ranzo Saotome has not been good since childhood. Not only was he too harsh on Art, but he also imposed his own ideas on Art without caring about Art's own thoughts.
Originally, before Art’s mother passed away, there was someone who made Art feel warm and supportive. After his mother passed away, that home was just a cold house, so Art fled Saotome’s house and began pursuing own ideals.
But the psychological shadow left on Art when he was a child still makes him afraid of facing Saotome Ranzo.
"Hmph! You don't need to worry about where I am, a coward."
"You bastard..." Art was furious. Under Saotome's hidden gaze, Al Te only saw a pile of garbage and didn't treat him as a human being at all.
No, Saotome Ranzo ignored the angry Art and glanced at Li Lanhua whose tears had not yet been wiped away: "The stage is reserved for those who are prepared. If you are not prepared, If you are aware, don’t go up and insult the stage.”
“You guy...”
"Hey, are you going too far!?"
"Ranhua is just..."
Originally, the relationship between Saotome Ranzo and Art was from the Saotome family. It was not convenient for them to interrupt, but when Saotome Ranzo put bad words on Li Lanhua, Mihail, Luca and Matsuura Nanase couldn't bear it anymore.
"I don't agree with you on this, Mr. Saotome." Lux and Shirley also came backstage. They knew that Li Lanhua would be very sad if he had a performance accident, so they planned to come to comfort him. She happened to come across this scene backstage, and Shirley's face immediately sank.
Lux still kept smiling, but anyone who knew her well could feel that there was a chill hidden behind the smile.
"In the field of stage and performance, I don't think you have more say than me, Ms. Klein." Saotome Ranzo also did not give Lux a good look. As a traditional acting family, Saotome Ranzo looked down on Baku. In his opinion, celebrities don't understand the essence of acting at all. Compared with the head of a traditional acting family, they are just little kids who can't stand on the stage.
Only because Lux is the wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the 25th Fleet, he would use the formal title. Otherwise, he might not even respond to the conversation, even when he went to the judges' table. He wouldn't be sitting with Lux and Sherry.
"I don't think so, Mr. Saotome." Lux still kept smiling, but her tone and attitude became stronger, "My husband once said that every dream is hopeless. No matter the price, no matter how high or low you are, no matter how high or low you are.”
Hearing this, Li Lanhua was very moved. Even Art was touched. They all knew that Lux was not just speaking for Li Lanhua. , and at the same time, he was also speaking for Art. After all, Art was the one who gave up the Saotome family in pursuit of his ideals.
"In other words, overestimating one's abilities is worthy of recognition?" Saotome asked with a sneer.
"Are you overestimating your abilities? Mr. Saotome, have you really understood it?"
"...Hmph!"
Saotome Ranzo snorted coldly and left with her proud disciple. Before leaving, , Art’s senior brother also bowed to Lux to express his apology, patted Art’s shoulder to encourage him and followed him.
"That bastard..." Art looked at his father's leaving back, with no reluctance or nostalgia, only full of anger.
"Okay, Art, don't take everything at face value." Lux said to Art.
"Eh? What does this... mean?" Although Art didn't like hearing other people's excuses for Saotome's chaos, it was Lux who said this, so he had to restrain his emotions. Lux pursed her lips and smiled but did not say anything clearly. It would be useless for her as an outsider to talk about these things. Art needs to discover them by himself, and it is best to understand them by himself.
"And Lan Hua." Lux and Shirley came to Li Lanhua together, holding her hands from left to right: "It's a good performance, but it's a little too much." I'm nervous, and I don't have much experience on stage. I haven't trained my body movements on the stage, so I trip over my feet. In addition to the vocal lessons in the future, I will focus on teaching you this aspect. It will be very hard, so be mentally prepared. "
"Huh?" Li Lanhua was already prepared for Lacus's scolding. After all, it was very hard for Lacus to open a small stove for her, but her performance was very poor. Not only did Si not scold her, she also planned to continue to treat her more strictly.
"Well, wipe your tears and go back to school. Don't leave anything behind."
"Well, okay, Teacher Lux!"
Li Lanhua's face returned to a determined expression, and Lux and Shirley were relieved. They had other things to do, so they wouldn't He returned to Meixing Academy with them, so he left by car first.
Li Lanhua and others also packed their things, adjusted their mood, and prepared to return to Meixing Academy.
However, when they were leaving, an uncle with purple hair stood in front of them.
……
On the other side, Lux and Shirley left the Miss Macross contest in a car and went directly to LAI's secret research institute.
"Didn't he come?" In the research institute, Shirley Lu didn't see Yang Hui's figure, and she was inevitably a little disappointed. She was also very worried until Yang Hui fell into a coma, but she... didn't know how to respond What identity did you use to visit Yang Hui?
"Disappointed?" Lux asked Shirley with a naughty smile.
"No... no way! I don't want to see him!" Shirley retorted arrogantly.
"Huh? I didn't say I was disappointed because of him. Also, who...is he?"
"Lux!" Shirley's pretty face was quickly filled with bloody red. She was really convinced by this sinister pink-haired monster. Why did she like to tease herself so much!
"Lux, Miss Shirley, you are here." Yang Hui was away, so the job of receiving Lux and Shirley naturally fell on Billy Katagiri.
"Well, are there any tests needed today?" Lux asked proactively.
"No, there is no need to do a test today. I just want to briefly report to you two on the results so far, and...this person."
"Lan Hua!"
Lux knew from the beginning that Li Lanhua was also the singer's pre-selection target, so she was not surprised to see Li Lanhua's information, but Shirley was very surprised.
“Yes, this Miss Macross contest is also an opportunity to find other singers, and this girl’s singing voice also found a special FOLD wave response. This is data.”
"How could..."
