The owners of the other nightclubs fought over this rare talent with high bids.
This was a steady cash cow!
At that time, many had tried poaching her.
Mu Qingcheng was a sentimental girl, however, so she was not swayed by the other bar owners' generous offers.
From then on, her fame soared and none could surpass her; she was deemed as the number one songstress in town.
Paramount's business gradually got better, while the rest got worse.
Toward the end, all the nightclubs in the capital had closed down except for Paramount, which continued to be an evergreen business.
The nightclub owner was very good to Mu Qingcheng and had never mistreated her.
After all, she was worshipped as the face of the nightclub.
Men were known for being drawn to beautiful women since ancient times. Hence, after some time, his heart wavered; after all, she was a charming beauty whom men could not resist.
At that time, she, who was barely touching eighteen, was blossoming in her naivety and tenderness. She was like a clean hibiscus after she removed her makeup - truly a source of deadly temptation.
Once he sent her home, he unexpectedly pounced on her by the house entrance.
She did not see it coming and was shocked.
She was proud and principled despite being a songstress and threatened to kill herself if he made further advances on her. Unable to have his way, he angrily stormed off.
What she did not know was that this scene was captured by a tabloid reporter. It was on the news the following day.
Soon after, rumors about her no longer being chaste spread like wildfire.
Her life was turned upside down overnight.
She was pure, holy, and inviolable to her patrons. Her image was greatly tarnished by the slanderous rumors.
Those patrons started to become unruly around her, and the situation got from bad to worse. When she sought the help of the manager, he refused to intervene as his way of revenge for her earlier rejection.
Full of pain and grievances, she started to grow tired of this tough, miserable nightlife and even life itself.
Her customers became more unreasonable as the rumors became even more exaggerated. They would even openly fight over her. During this difficult period, she was forced to seek protection from a man.
At that time, only this man was capable of protecting her from the threats and bullies in the capital.
This person was Mu Liancheng.
Mu Liancheng was Mu Yazhe's biological father and Mu Sheng's favorite son. He was young, capable, and talented. Despite only being in his twenties, his assets already reached more than a few hundred million.
At that time, he was engaged to the mistress of the wealthy Jiang family in the capital.
Mu Qingcheng ended up being adopted by Mu Sheng as his daughter. Accordingly, Mu Liancheng became her sibling in name without any blood connection. This killed off any notion he had for her.
