Chapter 290: A shocking contestant

As soon as Mu Sheng finished speaking, li Hanchen’s expression became a little unhappy.

“You’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Yes.” Mu Sheng nodded.”Because I have to prepare for the preliminary round.”

The Chinese music Association’s recommendation only gave Mu Sheng and Mu Fei the opportunity to enter the competition for a written test. They still had to pass the preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds with the others.

Li Hanchen frowned.”Then …”

At this time, Mu Sheng’s face was also a little hesitant. She looked at li Hanchen as if she had something to say.

Li Hanchen glanced at her.”What’s wrong?” If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Mu Sheng pursed her lips.”Have you been busy recently?”

Li Hanchen did not know why Mu Sheng suddenly asked this. Mu Sheng had never been a hesitant person.

“It’s alright, I’m not very busy. ”

Mu Sheng sat by li Hanchen’s bed.”Then …” Have you been to Mei nation?”

Li Hanchen had wanted to say that he had spent most of his time in America, but he changed his mind when he saw Mu Sheng’s expression.

“I’ve never been there, why?”

Mu Sheng seemed a little embarrassed.”Do you want to go to Mei country with me?”

He then added,”you’re sick. If you come with me, I can monitor your condition in real time.”

After Mu Sheng finished speaking, she waited for a long time, but li Hanchen did not respond. She raised her head to look at li Hanchen, only to see him looking at her with a faint smile.

At this time, li Hanchen’s expression made Mu Sheng’s face heat up inexplicably. She turned her head to the side.”Why are you looking at me like that?”

Li Hanchen’s lips curled up slightly.”You want me to accompany you to Mei nation?”

“I didn ‘t.” Mu Sheng subconsciously denied it. “You don’t have to go if you’re busy. I’ll go back first.”

After that, Mu Sheng stood up and was about to leave, but li Hanchen grabbed his wrist.

At this time, li Hanchen’s eyes seemed to contain a galaxy of stars, and they were shockingly bright.

He rubbed his index finger on Mu Sheng’s wrist.”You reminded me. I have a meeting in Mei nation in two days. How about I go with you?”

There was a smile in Mu Sheng’s eyes.”Then you’ll leave with me tomorrow?”

“Yes.” Li Hanchen smiled gently at Mu Sheng.”Go and rest early. You’ll leave with me tomorrow.”

“Alright,” he said.

When Mu Sheng left, he was visibly happy.

After the live broadcast ended that night, Mu Sheng took a day off from the audience.”I’m sorry, I have to go to Mei nation to participate in the competition tomorrow, so I’m taking a week off. I’ll see you in a week.”

The moment Mu Sheng said he was on leave, everyone thought of the piano Competition incident that had caused a stir.

[Mu Shen’s courage is commendable. Is he really going to participate in the world Piano Competition?] [I’m impressed by your courage.]

[What’s the point of wasting the ticket money? Can’t you just stay at home and play your game? [I have to go and join in the fun. I don’t want to embarrass myself overseas.]

[I’m so speechless. Mu Xi has just announced that she’s going to Mei nation and you’re already announcing it. I’m really speechless.]

Although there were some fans cheering for her in the bullet screen, most of them were criticizing her.

Mu Sheng did not pay much attention to these comments. After asking for leave, he turned off the live broadcast.

As the night deepened, Mu Sheng had already fallen asleep.

In the Li family villa, Mu Ying was packing her luggage.

Liu xueting, who had always looked down on her, urged Li Ming’s biological mother to come and bid farewell to Mu Xi with kind words.

“Xiaoxiao, I know you’re the best. Mrs. Chu said that I’ll bring you over for a gathering after you come back from winning the championship.”

Liu xueting stood by the side. Although she still felt that Mu Ying was petty, her face was full of smiles.

Mu Xi gritted her teeth, her long hair covering the panic in her eyes.”Okay, thank you, mother. I’ll do my best in the competition.”

“Yes.” Liu xueting pretended to help Mu Ying clean up, then gave Li Ming a look and walked out.

Outside the door, Liu xueting frowned.”Ming ‘er, are you sure that Mu Xi can really win the championship?”

No matter how she looked at it, it didn’t seem like it.

“Mom, it’s not that easy to win the championship. Master Ouyang said that it’ll be very outstanding if Mu Xi can get into the top ten in this gathering of heroes. ”

Liu xueting pursed her lips.”Alright, but with her looks, can she make it into the top ten??”

“Yes, I can.” Li Ming nodded.”Master Ouyang said that with Mu Xi’s level, she can even enter the top five, let alone the top ten.”

Since Li Ming had said so, Liu xueting no longer asked,”it’s up to you. I’m telling you, if she hadn’t won Ouyang he’s favor, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you marry her at all. It’s good that she can get a position in the competition this time, but if she can ‘t, you should divorce her as soon as possible.”

Hearing Liu xueting’s words, Li Ming subconsciously wanted to refute, but Liu xueting waved her hand.”I’m going to sleep. Don’t say anything more.”

She had never liked Mu Xi. If Li Ting had not asked her to come today, she would not have bothered to come.

Li Ming stood in place, watching Liu xueting’s back gradually fade away.

At this moment, Mu Xi walked out and followed Li Ming’s gaze.”Brother Ming.”

“What’s wrong?” Now that he heard Mu Xi call him brother Ming, Li Ming felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Mu Xi was a little shy.”Brother Ming, I’m scared to go to Mei nation alone. Can you come with me?”

Li Ming subconsciously wanted to refuse.

As if she had expected Li Ming to reject her, Mu Ying beat him to it. “Brother Ming, I heard from my father that the company’s stock price has risen a lot because of our wedding. The outside world is saying that we have a good relationship …”

Mu Xi did not need to say more, and Li Ming understood.

He thought for a moment and finally nodded.”I’ll go to Mei nation with you tomorrow.”

“Alright, I’ll help you pack up now.” Mu Ying smiled at Li Ming, then turned around and went into the room.

The next morning, at the same time, two cars drove from the Li family and the manor to the airport.

In the car that drove out of the Li family’s house, mu Xiao leaned against Li Ming and took a selfie with her phone.

Very quickly, Mu Ying’s Weibo was updated with a new post.

@Muying: “I didn’t want my husband to go with me, but he said he couldn’t stop worrying. He’s like a little tail and wants to go with me no matter what.”

It was accompanied by a picture of Li Ming hugging Mu Xi’s shoulder.

[Wow, the goddess is showing off her love again. President li is so good to you!!]

[The love of the gods. I’m crying. Sob, sob, sob. There’s already dog food in my mouth so early in the morning. This is too much, goddess.]

[Xiaoxiao, have a safe journey. With your husband’s protection, I believe that Xiaoxiao can win the championship in one fell swoop. I’m waiting for your triumphant return!!]

Seeing the overwhelming amount of praise on the internet, Mu Xi’s eyes flashed with satisfaction. She specially went to Mu Sheng’s Weibo to take a look. Basically, they were all ridiculing Mu Sheng for going abroad to embarrass himself.

Li Ming glanced at Mu Ying’s phone and saw that she was looking at Mu Sheng. He frowned.”Why are you looking at Mu Sheng instead of thinking about how to win the competition?”

Mu Ying put her phone away.”No, I swiped the wrong number.”

At this moment, Mu Sheng was sitting by the window and looking at the scenery outside.

Li Hanchen sat at the side. Because he had a fever and cold, he wore a mask to prevent Mu Sheng from getting infected.

Mu Sheng turned around and saw that li Hanchen’s eyes were red from the fever. She could not bear to see him like this.

“Why don’t you stay at home and rest? I heard that the flight from China to Mei nation is very long. ”

Li Hanchen was feeling very uncomfortable at this time, but Mu Sheng’s care for him was enough to offset all the physical discomfort.

“It’s okay, Didn’t I tell you? I’m not here to accompany you, I have a meeting to attend. ”

Mu Sheng took a towel from the side and placed it on li Hanchen’s forehead.”Then put this on.”

Li Hanchen pulled down the towel and pulled Mu Sheng’s hand over to his forehead.

“The towel is too cold and I’m not feeling well. Your hand’s temperature is just right.”

“………”Mu Sheng’s hands were forced to rest on li Hanchen’s forehead, and Li Hanchen was still looking at him with his burning eyes. Mu Sheng looked away in embarrassment.

Li Hanchen smiled when he saw Mu Sheng’s embarrassed expression.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the airport and Mu Sheng followed li Hanchen inside.

It was only when they got on the plane that they realized that there were only a few of them on the plane.

Noticing Mu Sheng’s puzzled look, li Hanchen explained to her,”this is my personal plane. We don’t want to be crowded with others.”

“……….”After the incident at the manor, Mu Sheng had once again refreshed her perception of the fact that li Hanchen was rich.

On Mu Xi’s side, the plane had already taken off. She looked around and was a little puzzled.”I saw on the internet that Mu Sheng is leaving today too, right? Why don’t I see her?”

Li Ming sneered.”Do you think that li Hanchen is rich enough to take Mu Sheng to first-class?”

A hidden sense of vanity rose in Mu Xi’s heart, but it did not last long. Thinking of the upcoming competition, Mu Xi’s heart was full of worry.

What to do?

She had tried so many ways and all of them had failed, so should she go to Li Ming for help?

However, if Li Ming knew that his piano skills were not as good as Mu Sheng ‘s, would he be angry?

During the ten-hour journey, Mu Xin spent her time in such a perturbed mood.

On the other side, Mu Sheng was lying on the sofa leisurely to rest. When she was thirsty, li Hanchen handed her water, and when she was hungry, li Hanchen helped her peel the shrimp.

It was morning in Mei nation when they arrived.

Li Ming took Mu Xi to the hotel closest to the competition venue.

Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen, on the other hand, stayed in a quiet castle in the city.

In the hall of the castle, there was a very classical piano.

Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng.”I prepared this especially for you. You can practice after dinner.”

Mu Sheng looked at it from afar and knew that the piano must be expensive. She smiled at li Hanchen.”Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. ” Li Hanchen ruffled Mu Sheng’s hair.”Go on.”

The competition system of the World Piano Competition was very simple. The contestants were selected and sent by music associations from all over the world, and their ability was impeccable.

The system of preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals will be adopted.

The results of the preliminaries and semi-finals were decided by the ten judges.

In order to minimize the subjective interference of the judges when giving marks,

Before entering the final, all the contestants would only be indicated with a numbered code name and at most one nationality. All other information would be hidden.

During the competition, the contestants would play the same song to avoid cheating to the greatest extent.

When the organizers announced this information to the outside world, the netizens who were watching the show felt that this year’s competition was extremely harsh.

[Amazing. This time, the rules are too strict. Doesn’t that mean that there is no possibility of cheating??]

[Yes, that’s how it should be done. Last year, there was a contestant who I didn’t think played that well. In the end, she got such a high score. It’s simply unbelievable.]

[I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be another auditory feast. I’ve already moved a small bench and am waiting.]

Everyone was clapping and cheering, except for Mu Ying, who was on the phone in the hotel.

She had originally wanted to find someone to contact the judges from the organizers, but now that the competition rules were out, there was no room for manipulation.

Mu Ying’s heart was in a mess. Looking at Li Ming, who was playing games not far away, Mu Ying hesitated whether to tell Li Ming the truth and ask him to help her.

“Brother Ming,” Mu Ying called out to Li Ming tentatively.

Li Ming glanced at her impatiently.”If you have something to say, say it. It’s so annoying. When will your competition end?”

“I’m fine. ” Mu Ying’s nails dug into her palms, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.

The preliminaries were to start at 9 am the next day. Mu Xi went to the competition venue early to wait.

She looked around uneasily. It was only when it was almost nineo’ clock that she finally saw Mu Sheng, who had arrived late.

Mu Xi walked towards Mu Sheng.”Five million. Is that enough?”

Mu Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly. He looked up at Mu Ying.”What?”

“Five million for you to withdraw from the competition. Is that enough?”

A cold glint flashed in Mu Sheng’s eyes.”Didn’t you understand what I said last time?”

“What did he say?”

Mu Sheng shifted his gaze away from Mu Xi’s face.”I’m definitely going to be the champion.”

“You!” Mu Xi glared at Mu Sheng.”Are you doing this on purpose? You know that I need this championship more than you do. ”

Mu Sheng nodded her head seriously.”I did it on purpose. Isn’t it obvious?” Then I’ll tell you clearly again, I did it on purpose to win the championship. ”

If it were not for the fact that there were so many other contestants present, Mu Xi really wanted to slap Mu Sheng in the face.

“Good! You’re ruthless, but I’d like to see if you have the strength!” Mu Xi gritted her teeth and spat out these words before turning to leave.

The venue for the preliminary round was not open to the public. There were only some internal audience members and ten judges in the venue.

After the morning’s competition ended, all the internal audience members and judges were talking about contestant No. 9 from China.

According to the judges, it could be described as shocking.

The news spread to China and the media reported on the No. 9 player.

This time, there were a total of 10 Chinese players attending the World Piano Competition.

Everyone kept guessing, and in the end, most of them thought that the person who had stunned the judges was Mu Xi.
