Chapter 226: Could It Be Old Master Guan’s Last Disciple
Ni Manman did not know Wang Qingping. She heard how Feng Wenshu had addressed him and followed suit, calling him “Master Wang.”.
Moreover, from Feng Wenshu’s attitude, anyone could tell that this Master Wang had very high attainments in the piano field. Only by having a heavyweight like him evaluate Jiang Wan would Jiang Wan’s reputation be lifted even higher. Thus…
She would completely surpass that little b*tch, Jiang Yu.
In fact, Ni Manman had originally thought of some other dirty tricks but Jiang Wan had stopped her after finding out about Ni Manman’s plans.
She said that for such a grand occasion like the Feng family banquet, it would be bad for the Ni family if they were too brazen and excessive.
Ni Manman thought for a moment and felt that Jiang Wan’s words made sense, so she gave up on the idea and changed her tactics.
However, her childish tricks were still not enough to fool the Feng family.
Feng Linbai thought that the stupid Ni family should be leaving anytime now.
Ni Manman was still daydreaming about Feng Linbai. She did not know that Feng Linbai was already thinking of ways to bankrupt the Ni family.
When Wang Qingping heard Ni Manman’s words, he answered without any hesitation, “This young lady’s attainments in the piano field can already be compared to many in this country. Not to mention, she has also received the guidance of Old Master Guan. Within her age group, I have never seen anyone play better than her.”
Ni Manman said, “But Wan Wan said that there is someone who plays even better than her…”
“Really?” Wang Qingping asked curiously, “I would like to hear such a person play.”
He pondered, “Could it be Old Master Guan’s last disciple? If it is, then it’s no wonder.”
It was rumored that Old Master Guan had taken in a student seven years ago, but since then, he has never taken in another student.
This student was also very mysterious. Nobody knew anything about them, their age, gender, or name.
Could he be so lucky to be able to meet Old Master Guan’s student here today?
“Little girl, tell me, who plays better than you? Let me hear them.”
Jiang Wan stammered, “It doesn’t seem too good to call her out because she always keeps a low profile…”
Ni Manman urged, “Wan Wan, think about it. Master Wang wants to hear it, and Master Wang is a famous pianist! Tell us that person’s name and ask her to come out and play a song. Let us all listen to her. She can even gain master Wang’s appreciation. How great an honor is that! She’ll definitely be grateful to you in the future!”
“Perhaps, after hearing you play the piano, she too wants to show off her skills. She’s just too embarrassed to take the initiative and is hiding in the crowd, waiting for you to give her a chance!”
“Don’t hesitate anymore. Hurry up and tell us!”
Jiang Wan still hesitated. Feng Le’an glanced at his wife’s increasingly impatient expression. He frowned and pushed Feng Qiongfang and Feng Wenshu away.
“Hey, you! I can’t remember which family you’re from but whatever. I just want to say that your act here has gone on long enough. Do you really think that we have so much time to waste here with you?”
“This is our Feng family’s banquet, not yours. Don’t use it to mess with anyone. Stop dawdling around and move aside!”
Feng Le’an’s words had been too direct, Jiang Wan and Ni Manman’s expressions instantly turned ugly.
However, they heard a cool female voice.
“You want me to play the piano?”
“Fine, I’ll play it.”
Chapter 227: Never Seen Jiang Yu Touch the Piano Before
The female voice sounded both mocking and nonchalant.
Feng Linbai’s expression changed.
He had originally wanted to let these two people who overestimated themselves stand here and slowly lose face.
Who would have thought that Wang Qingping would appear halfway through?
He did not really care about people like Wang Qingping. Only Feng Wenshu wanted to befriend people in all fields and could not wait to tell everyone about his ambitions.
Feng Qiongfang had always been a bystander, while Feng Le’an had always been more direct toward people who were trying to put on airs.
When faced with such a situation, Feng Zhiyi needed Feng Le’an’s directness the most.
As the head of the Feng family, Feng Zhiyi had his own reputation. He couldn’t possibly be solving everything himself, not to mention such a small matter that couldn’t be any smaller.
He needed someone to chase them away unceremoniously, to show that not everyone could bark in front of them. Therefore, with Feng Wenshu’s basic IQ, he probably still couldn’t understand why Feng Le’an, who didn’t have any abilities, would always get good things from Feng Zhiyi.
What was even more unexpected was that the little lady had taken the initiative to come on her own.
No, Feng Linbai should have expected that.
After all, this little lady did not seem to be afraid of anything.
Jiang Yu looked bored and a little sleepy.
Ni Manman’s forehead twitched as she said stubbornly, “Who… who said it was you?!”
Jiang Yu said straightforwardly, “Oh, then I’ll be leaving.”
Jiang Yu turned around and was about to leave when Jiang Wan called out, “Big Sister, since you’re already out, why don’t you play a song?”
Ni Manman almost had to stop Jiang Yu.
It hadn’t been easy to get Jiang Yu to appear on her own, how could she let her go?
Jiang Yu asked back, “So you admit that you were talking about me just now?”
Jiang Wan and Ni Manman were singing and echoing each other just now, who knew how many pairs of ears have heard it.
After Jiang Yu had already finished tasting all the pastries available, they were still not done.
It was so annoying. If they continued to dawdle like this, who knew when the main dish would be served.
Jiang Yu was really impatient. In case they continued to waste everybody’s time, she decided that she might as well come out.
Just as Jiang Yu was about to walk over, Jiang Chenglang stopped her.
Jiang Yu said in a slightly irritable tone, “I’m going to end this farce and then we can start eating.”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
What was up with that look? She looked like she was a predator protecting its prize.
It was as if… The reason why Jiang Yu was unhappy was that Jiang Wan and Ni Manman had dragged on their act for so long…
The Feng family hadn’t finished their small talk yet, was that the reason they couldn’t serve the dishes yet?
It was just that Jiang Chenglang had never seen Jiang Yu play the piano before.
There was a piano in the house, but it had been prepared for Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan had started learning the piano since she was young. Her talent was obvious to many people. Therefore, Father Jiang had changed many piano teachers for her. It was because Jiang Wan had improved too quickly that ordinary piano teachers were no longer able to teach her.
Therefore, the piano teachers Father Jiang had hired for her became more and more famous. However, he did not remember Father Jiang having invited a big shot like Old Master Guan.
Although Jiang Chenglang was in the business world, even he has heard of Old Master Guan.
He was a master in the music world. Jiang Wan said that she had attended his class before, perhaps on some occasion that he didn’t know about.
Jiang Wan would play the piano from time to time at home but he has never seen Jiang Yu touch the piano before.
Jiang Chenglang couldn’t help but be a little worried.
Xiao Yu… wasn’t acting on impulse, right?
Chapter 228: Jiang Yu Was Definitely Going to Lose Today
Thinking back on Jiang Yu’s usual style of doing things, she wasn’t known to be a reckless person.
In that case, she knew that she stood a chance of winning before she decided to the initiative to show herself.
Jiang Chenglang pursed his lips and sneered at Ni Manman and Jiang Wan’s performance.
They had indeed concocted a scheme before the banquet. They absolutely wouldn’t give up and wanted to frame Xiao Yu.
He was already prepared to respect Xiao Yu’s wishes and let her do whatever she wanted. If anything happened, he would go and remedy the situation.
After Jiang Yu finished her question, Ni Manman and Jiang Wan did not answer.
If they answered “yes” right away, wouldn’t that be too obvious?
Jiang Yu said, “Since you’re not going to admit it, I’ll be leaving.”
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Ni Manman quickly stopped her. “Since you’re so confident, play us a song.”
Jiang Yu wasn’t buying it. “Don’t waste everyone’s time. This is the third time. I’ll ask again. Are you going to admit it or not?”
Her face was full of impatience.
After talking for so long, they wanted to be cowards now?
If they didn’t admit that she was the one they had been talking about, if she plays the piano and crushes Jiang Wan, they would then claim that she came out on her own and that they had actually been talking about someone else. They would say that she was trying to make fools of them. Wouldn’t she be playing for nothing then?
Did they think she was that stupid?
Due to Jiang Yu’s straightforward nature, Feng Le’an had a favorable impression of her.
It was rare to see such an honest girl.
He asked, “What’s your relationship with this silly girl?”
Jiang Yu replied, “We both have the surname Jiang.”
She didn’t say that they were sisters, she only said that they had the same surname. This answer was very intriguing.
Feng Le’an said meaningfully, “So you’re related. Tsk tsk tsk…”
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Wenshu.
Feng Wenshu ignored Feng Le’an’s provocation.
Jiang Wan bit the tip of her tongue.
She looked at the impatience on Jiang Yu’s face and suddenly understood something.
Her expression was gloomy. “Big Sister, I know that I can’t compete with you in many aspects. It’s the same with the piano as well…”
Jiang Yu interrupted, “Just admit it and cut the crap.”
Jiang Wan’s expression turned ugly as she forced a smile. “Big Sister, I’ll be waiting to enjoy your performance.”
Without another word, Jiang Yu turned around and left.
When she reached the piano, Ni Manman said excitedly, “Wan Wan, she’s finally there. Next…”
When Ni Wenbin heard this, he asked curiously, “Man Man, what are you trying to do?”
Ni Manman replied perfunctorily, “Dad, it’s nothing. Just shut up.”
As soon as Ni Wenbin had interrupted, Jiang Wan swallowed what she wanted to say.
In her heart, she was thinking that Jiang Yu had insisted that they admit it. She thought that they wouldn’t admit it and could get away without much fuss.
How could Jiang Wan possibly let Jiang Yu get what she wanted?
Did she think that she was that stupid to fall into her trap?
She was going to lose today!
Jiang Wan was very confident that she would not lose to Jiang Yu when it came to the piano.
Her piano skills had been praised by many people. Her last piano teacher was also a famous pianist. She was even on the National Arts Committee, her status was about the same as Wang Qingping’s.
That piano teacher had just said praised her. Within her age group, there was no one in the country who could play better than her, unless the mysterious student of Old Master Guan was the same age as her. However, after so many years, that seemed highly unlikely.
She had already performed so perfectly just now, yet Jiang Yu still dared to challenge her. This could only mean one thing.
It meant that she did not understand music at all. She was just a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers!
