Chapter 229: Couldn’t Go Against His Own Judgment
After Wang Qingping heard the conversation between Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan, he realized that he had been used as a pawn.
Although his role had been an accident, it still made him feel uncomfortable.
He shook his head.
This girl was good at playing the piano but her character was not. The other girl had actually been pushed out by this fox. Since she dared to do this, it meant that the other girl’s piano skill was not that good.
However, if he stopped her now, he would be meddling in her family affairs. He didn’t want to overstep his position.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yu was already sitting beside the piano.
She pressed down on the piano keys.
The notes danced under her fingertips. A tranquil scene appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, a picture of waking up in the morning, throwing open the doors and windows. The fresh air of the forest blew across their faces. Birds in the trees were chirping. It was a happy and joyful scene.
Although it was not bad and the imagery was good, it was far from Jiang Wan’s earlier performance.
A mocking smile appeared across Jiang Wan’s face.
She knew that even if Jiang Yu insisted that she knew how to play the piano, so what?
She definitely could not compete with her!
Ni Manman also laughed and said, “Wan Wan, didn’t you say that your sister plays the piano pretty well? Why does it sound so ordinary now? She can’t compete with you…”
Jiang Wan said softly, “Many Big Sister isn’t feeling herself today…”
“Heh.”
It was a man’s cold sneer.
Feng Linbai looked at them coldly and said emotionlessly, “Shut up.”
Ni Manman’s body trembled.
Feng Linbai looked at them with a gaze that chilled her to the bone. The sense of danger rolling off of him was even stronger than when Jiang Chenglang had scolded her the other time. She felt a sense of fear for no reason and even subconsciously shrank her body.
By the time Ni Manman realized that she had reacted, she had already pulled Jiang Wan and hid beside her.
Ni Manman suddenly remembered something. Wasn’t Feng Linbai blind?
How could he still be so terrifying!
He was like a ferocious wolf on a field of snow as if he was going to tear his prey apart at any second.
Ni Manman clutched her chest.
Was it an illusion? How could such a good-looking blind man be a wolf?
However, Feng Linbai had told her to shut up for Jiang Yu’s sake, causing Ni Manman’s hatred towards Jiang Yu to deepen.
Why was everyone sticking up for Jiang Yu? Jiang Yu wasn’t that great but she was good at seducing men! This little b*tch! Seducing each and every one of them, how disgusting!
Wang Qingping looked at Jiang Wan and Ni Manman unhappily.
His impression of Jiang Wan was already very bad. He had originally cherished her talent but now he felt very disappointed.
However, even so, he couldn’t go against his own judgment and say that Jiang Yu could play better than Jiang Wan. Sigh, what should he do about that little girl later?
Everyone discussed in low voices:
“I thought this little girl was supposed to be amazing but now… She seems kinda mediocre…”
“I think her playing can’t match up to the little girl earlier. After all, that little girl is really talented and had even received Master Wang’s praise. As for this little girl, her skills are so-so. She didn’t move me at all.”
“Yeah, I feel like it’s just an ordinary piano piece that you can hear in any restaurant. There’s nothing special about it…”
Jiang Chenglang frowned.
Chen Miaoyi looked around unhappily. “That’s because you don’t know how to appreciate it!”
Her Goddess was the best, no matter what she chose to do. Was Jiang Wan even worthy of being compared to her?
At this moment, Jiang Yu’s piano music slowed and the volume gradually decreased. Just when everyone thought that Jiang Yu was finishing up and was about to finish playing—
The music suddenly changed!
Chapter 230: This Little Girl. She Was the True Piano Genius!
This time, the music was not as relaxed as before. Instead, it was passionate, as if they had suddenly entered a battlefield.
War flags fluttered, war drums sounded out, and soldiers charged forward to kill the enemy. Weapons clashed, blood flowed like rivers.
The brave soldiers, at the defeat of the enemy forces, wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursued their enemy but fell into a trap.
The music changed once again. They watched as the soldiers, who thought that victory was in their hands, were killed.
They were not willing to admit defeat but they could not do anything about it. Fresh blood splattered all over the flag, the eagle soaring between heaven and earth cried out. The mountains, rivers, and sunsets witnessed the fall of many unyielding, iron souls.
Since ancient times, the winners and losers had their own beliefs. They only fought for their country, not for themselves.
The song ended.
This time, everyone did not come back to their senses for a long time.
How relaxed and comfortable the first half was. The second part had been cruel and intense!
In the second half, they did not dare to breathe loudly. They were deeply immersed in the atmosphere created by this piano song. Even when it ended, they could not quickly pull themselves out of the dream.
This piano song gave them a feeling that was too shocking! It was too exciting!
Their hearts were beating so fast that they almost couldn’t breathe!
From the looks of it, the piano piece that Jiang Wan had just played was instantly reduced to dust. What was there to compare?
It wasn’t even good enough!
The difficulty of this song was obviously much higher than the previous one. They had originally thought that Jiang Yu couldn’t play very well. After all, the first part wasn’t outstanding. Who would have thought that the second half of the song was the best part? Had Jiang Yu been deliberately holding back to whet their appetite?
That was such a sudden reversal. Their jaws almost couldn’t close!
Today’s banquet was really worth it. They never thought that there would be such an interesting show. It was too good. It was like listening to a concert!
This piano skill was superb. Truly superb!
Chen Miaoyi clapped loudly. If it weren’t for the occasion, she would have screamed.
Jiang Yu was indeed worthy of being her Goddess!
She was a girl with a treasure trove of talents!
Feng Wenshu was stunned.
Jiang Yu… She plays the piano so well?
Feng Junhao’s eyes were filled with interest.
This girl had good grades and played the piano well. She was the daughter of the Jiang family and was a good match for him. She was perfect for him.
Ni Manman was in disbelief.
Was she hallucinating?
Was it really Jiang Yu who had played that piece?
She tugged at Jiang Wan and said incoherently, “Wan Wan, did you hear that? Was… was that Jiang Yu? How can Jiang Yu play so well? She, she, she… how is that possible?!”
Jiang Wan did not reply.
If one had to guess who was most frightened, they would be correct in saying that it was her.
She couldn’t accept it at all. How could Jiang Yu possibly be better than her?!
How could she?!
She had been prepared to embarrass Jiang Yu but who knew that Jiang Yu would end up killing her instead!
Right now, she couldn’t even hold her head up and couldn’t wait to find a hole to hide in so that she wouldn’t be scrutinized by everyone here!
Moreover, when she thought about how these people were comparing her to Jiang Yu and how they were praising her, it was like they were slapping her face. Her face really hurt!
Wang Qingping was completely stunned.
Was this the debut of the country’s most talented player?
The capital was truly a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Compared to such a piece, Jiang Wan’s performance just now was simply too mediocre. He was even embarrassed by his praise for Jiang Wan!
This little girl. She was the true piano genius!
Chapter 231: Would You Like to Be My Student
Feng Linbai’s lips curled into a smile.
His little lady never disappoints.
He walked forward, wanting to congratulate his little lady, but someone else was faster than him.
Everyone saw a short old man walk forward with quick steps. His steps were steady and his face glowed red.
The old man rushed to Jiang Yu and almost hit the piano. Just as he was about to hit it, Jiang Yu reached out and held him up.
The old man looked up and said with a smile, “Little girl, I see that you have a good constitution and are a talent that can be molded. Would you like to be my student?”
Everyone: … Why do I feel like I’m looking at a liar?
This old man wasn’t dressed very well and didn’t look like someone from the upper classes. It was as if he had taken advantage of the chaos and had sneaked into the banquet.
The security of the banquet was strict and no one could appear without an invitation though. So, this must mean that the old man had an invitation, but who was he?
Feng Wenshu looked at him carefully. He didn’t remember inviting such a person.
He didn’t notice that Wang Qingping was staring at the old man, eyes wide open!
His body even began to tremble and he almost blurted out the man’s title!
He, he, he… Why was this old man here?!
Jiang Yu looked at the enthusiastic old man and politely rejected him, “Thank you, but there’s no need.”
However, the old man did not give up. “Little girl, why don’t you ask me what I’m going to teach you?”
Jiang Yu said slowly, “I’m not curious and I don’t want to learn.”
The old man: “…”
He mumbled, “Her temperament is exactly the same as that rascal. Why is it so difficult to take in a student now? Life is getting harder and harder…”
After saying that, he opened his mouth again and said, “Little girl, please have pity on me. You have to help me, do not let my art die!”
“I promise you that there are many benefits to being my student. You’ll have many senior brothers above you. You’ll be the youngest, and they’re all quite promising. I’ll have them bring you around to enjoy life. It won’t be a loss!”
Jiang Yu: “Since there are seniors, your art won’t be lost, right?”
The old man: … Sigh, why is it so hard to convince this little girl?
Feng Linbai laughed lightly.
The old man raised his head and glared at him.
This rascal had guts. He actually dared to mock him!
When Jiang Chenglang walked over, he just happened to hear the old man’s last sentence.
Senior brothers?
They were all quite promising?
He looked at the old man suspiciously and asked, “What do you teach?”
The old man’s tone sounded like he was quite capable. If he could teach Xiao Yu, perhaps he would be of some help to her.
Even though Xiao Yu was not agreeable to it, it shouldn’t matter if he asked. He did not want to offend the old man.
The old man casually replied, “I teach music.”
“It is the piano?”
The old man muttered, “I’m pretty good with the piano, and I do fairly well with other instruments as well.”
Everyone: ???
Why did he sound like a quack?
Furthermore, he wanted to teach Jiang Yu how to play the piano?
She was already so good at playing the piano, what else did she need to learn?
Everyone thought to themselves, could it be that he wanted to get the title of Jiang Yu’s master and promote Jiang Yu as a piano genius to make a name for himself so that he could recruit even more students in the future?
While the crowd was still guessing, Wang Qingping trotted up to the old man.
He shouted excitedly, “Old Master Guan, why are you here?!”
