Novel Full Chapter 245 - 245 245 Is Xuan Jing an Ordinary Guy
Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Is Xuan Jing an Ordinary Guy? Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Is Xuan Jing an Ordinary Guy? Ye Qilan deliberately put Qingwu in a predicament.
Among the guests attending the opening ceremony, many were partners with the Shen Family, and Ye Qilan’s words made it clear that if the Shen Family didn’t let Qingwu go on stage, it would mean admitting they had raised an unruly child.
If Qingwu rejected Ye Qilan, it would only disgrace him and cause the Shen Family to lose face.
If she went on stage to perform, at worst, she would only embarrass herself.
Ye Qilan had calculated that Qingwu would choose the option with the least harm.
Zuo Jing’an was somewhat displeased, frowning, “That Ye Qilan, most likely waiting here all along, wants to see our little Wu perform. I knew there was a reason he kept staring at her earlier!”
Elder Shen also turned his gaze to Qingwu.
“Xiao Wu, if you don’t want to go, Grandfather supports you!”
Their family had no habit of having children perform for entertainment during the holidays.
Only an old bachelor like Ye Qilan, without sons or daughters, would make someone else’s child perform!
Qingwu shook her head and stood up gracefully.
“No problem, it’s just a performance.”
She didn’t want the Shen Family to be criticized over such a small matter. Since Ye Qilan had planned for her to go on stage, he would have other means to achieve his goal if not.
Wen Youjie was a fool, the real target was Ye Qilan’s scheme.
Watching Qingwu remove her coat and step on stage, Wen Youjie showed a hint of smugness.
Surely she was forcing herself to go up there; once she did, she would be utterly embarrassed if she couldn’t perform!
Compared to her own flawless performance earlier, this eldest daughter of the Shen Family, attending school on her family’s reputation, would be shown up completely…
Qingwu looked at Tian Yue calmly, “The teacher is not here, where’s the zither?”
“Here! I’ll fetch it right away!”
An ancient zither wasn’t a small item; repeated moving could damage its surface. Master Shi Yujiang’s ancient zither was backstage.
Seeing she wanted to play the zither, Ye Qilan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised yet not entirely unexpected.
He glanced at the map on his phone; the route Shi Yujiang was taking showed no signs of traffic.
That old fellow must have known his precious disciple would take the stage, leaving her the stage and the zither on purpose?
The students and teachers backstage were also surprised.
“Student Shen actually knows how to play the ancient zither!”
“That zither is Master Shi Yujiang’s, can Student Shen play it?”
Wen Youjie bit her lip, murmuring, “She surely can’t. She’s putting on airs… if she damages Master Shi Yujiang’s zither, let’s see how she handles it!”
The girl on stage held herself with serene elegance, her white dress shining dazzlingly under the lights. As her slender fingers plucked the strings, the melody of “Mountain and Stream” flowed out, filling the entire auditorium with her music!
The elegant sound of the zither lingered, echoing endlessly!
Zuo Wanjun hurriedly held up her phone, recording her precious daughter’s performance. The Shen Family’s phones all now had a video of Qingwu playing the zither!
They had nearly forgotten that Qingwu could play the ancient zither, and play it so well, without a hint of stage fright, becoming the main attraction of the event!
As the music ended, Qingwu raised her gaze, put away the zither, and stepped down from the stage.
With this single zither performance, Wen Youjie’s earlier piano solo seemed like child’s play in comparison!
Wen Youjie, being a musician herself, could tell that Qingwu’s zither skills were of a master level, leaving her at a loss for words!
Wen Youjie’s nails dug into her flesh as she muttered bitterly, “That’s Master Shi Yujiang’s zither. How could she use it without a word…”
On the stage’s big screen, Master Shi Yujiang was shown sitting in a car with a cheerful face.
“Apologies everyone, I couldn’t make it due to business. My zither is at the venue, and my beloved disciple Qingwu has performed for everyone. Her music will surely please all!”
Shot from an angle that completely obscured any signs of traffic, the road outside the car window was smooth.
With Master Shi Yujiang’s video, everyone at the scene was astounded!
Who would’ve thought that the eldest daughter of the Shen Family was Master Shi Yujiang’s disciple!
Just her performance of “Mountain and Stream” was enough to prove her talent!
This daughter of the Shen Family only recently returned home, didn’t she?
The Shen Family had truly found a treasure.
Unfortunately, she was already engaged to the Pei Family, otherwise many would have wanted to form alliances with the Shen Family… Some even started exchanging business cards with Shen Dongli, inquiring if the Shen Family had other daughters!
Shen Dongli beamed with pride.
His precious daughter was simply remarkable!
Sitting next to Shaojia, Xuan Jing watched as the girl descended the stage, her performance dazzling and captivating, almost impossible to look away from…
Originally wanting to approach her for Beidou Star, now Xuan Jing found himself somewhat unable to control his heart!
Xuan Jing said playfully, “Ms. Shen is indeed extraordinary. If she had met me earlier, President Pei wouldn’t have stood a chance.”
Shaojia looked perplexed, turning towards Xuan Jing.
“May I ask a bold question, does the Xuan Family have any hereditary mental illness? Or cousin, is your urine matte?”
If it’s been glossy, have you never seen what your face looks like when you go to the bathroom?
The Xuan Family isn’t so poor as to be unable to afford mirrors, so how could his self-perception be so blindly unobjective?
Xuan Jing looked at Shaojia, “Little Jia, what do you mean? I’m just interested in Ms. Shen and want to get to know her!”
“Grandfather Xuan’s mind is perfectly fine, but did you suffer any head injuries as a child?”
Or had a surgery still not fully healed?
But it didn’t affect his brain!
Shaojia shook her head, unsure, looking at Xuan Jing.
“Cousin, even with ten thousand considerations, you still fall short compared to President Pei.”
Xuan Jing’s eyes widened in disbelief and embarrassment!
It must be that Shaojia was closer to the Pei Family, and preferred Pei Jue over him, to say such things…
Watching Xuan Jing as he wheeled himself away, Shaojia’s brow furrowed.
Why did she feel that Xuan Jing was acting a little strange?
Was it her misperception, or was he just an ordinary overconfident guy?
…
Elder Pei Liu’s estate.
The unconscious Lin Xuecheng awoke slowly, shivering from the cold!
She awkwardly sneezed, realizing she was lying on the floor of a room, with Su Yurou sitting on the opposite bed, staring at her intensely!
“Ahhh! What are you doing?!”
Startled, Lin Xuecheng let out a scream!
Su Yurou averted her eyes, holding a small knife that glinted sharply!
“Why does someone as lowly as you get to share a room with me?”
There were too many unknown children of Elder Pei Liu, and after the estate was bombed, many places were uninhabitable. Thus, Lian Ousheng simply put Su Yurou and Lin Xuecheng in the same room.
Terrified, Lin Xuecheng backed away several steps.
“No…my father is clearly Elder Pei Liu, not just some bodyguard. If you dare to touch me, my father won’t let you off!”
Su Yurou had no interest in dealing with Lin Xuecheng.
A bumpkin reeking of dirt, yet thinking herself a true phoenix!
She picked up her phone, viewing messages from Aunt Qin.
[“Yurou, my past actions were wrong!”]
[“I have many followers. You register a new account, tell them the Shen Family mistreats maids and adopted daughters. If we can’t live well, neither can they!”]
Aunt Qin had millions of followers. Even if the Shen Family blocked her account, registering a new one would still be effective!
