"Yes, yes, yes! Master, you can rest assured." "It's Master indeed. When will you create new compositions? Your fans have been waiting for too long." ... Qing Yan smiled faintly, "I'll do it as soon as possible." "That's great!" The crowd, filled with joy, no longer dared to block Master's path. They stepped aside, and the host announced the end of the event, with the audience dispersing from their seats.
Qing Yan walked towards his parents. Seeing their excited expressions, he smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk in the car." "Oh, okay..." Li Yuanfu couldn't believe that his precious daughter turned out to be a piano master! In the past, Old Wu had begged someone to write a composition for him, with each note costing a hundred thousand yuan. However, he was mercilessly refused, and Old Wu complained about the Master's arrogance when he returned home. Unexpectedly, this proud individual turned out to be Old Wu's own younger sister. This was getting interesting. A few die-hard fans couldn't help but feel envious when they saw the Master leaving with Li Yuanfu and his wife. "Indeed, influential people befriend influential people. When will I have the chance to be friends with a great Master like that and a billionaire?" "Close your eyes." "Huh? Close... close my eyes?" "You'll have everything in your dreams." "..."
On the way back, Li Yusha felt the weight of the championship trophy in her hands, matching her mood... In the eyes of that music Master, this worthless thing was probably nothing more than rubbish... She was about to discreetly hide this embarrassing object behind her back when she heard Song Qiaoying say, "Shasha, your sister is a music prodigy! If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask her for guidance." "Oh, okay..." As if she would ever ask Qing Yan for help! "I never expected our Li family to produce a musical genius! Amazing! We should celebrate tonight!" Song Qiaoying couldn't stop smiling. Li Yuanfu was equally delighted. "Yanyan has truly brought glory to the Li family! She was underappreciated in the Lu family." "Why bother mentioning the Lu family! They are a group of heartless people. It affects my mood just talking about them!" "You're right, my dear wife. Don't worry, I'll make a call to deliver the message. Let it be known that nobody should cooperate with the Lu family. Otherwise, they'll be crossing swords with us, the Li family!" Dare to bully his precious daughter? Humph! Let them struggle to survive in the capital city! Li Yusha had been proud for over a decade, but deep down, she still couldn't accept that Qing Yan was better than her... At this moment, her heart was filled with jealousy and despair, but she had to maintain a calm facade. It was too difficult. On the other side...
Qingmu knocked on the door of the CEO's office and couldn't wait for Si Yechen's response before bursting in. "Lord Chen... Something big has happened! Miss Qing Yan turns out to have perfect pitch! She's a renowned musical prodigy in the piano world!"
Si Yechen raised his gaze and, amidst his surprise, a hint of indulgent smile curved his lips. His girl never ceased to surprise him. Despite her young age, she not only possessed exceptional medical skills but also was a piano genius.
What other talents or identities remained unknown to him?
"Today, Miss Qing Yan accompanied her family to the piano competition award ceremony..." Qingmu described the events.
The Lu family.
Lu Muyao locked herself in her room and refused to come out no matter how they called for her.
"Miss Yao, weren't you supposed to attend the award ceremony? What happened?"
"We made a cake for you and wanted to celebrate together when you came back..."
"Open the door and see this cake. It says, 'Congratulations to Miss Yao for achieving second place...'"
The sound of a vase shattering came from the room, as if telling them to be quiet and stop talking!
The maids were startled. They saw Lu Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin returning, their faces dejected, clothes in disarray, appearing as though they were on the verge of bankruptcy!
"Master, Madam, Miss Yao... what happened?"
Before they could finish their words, they saw Lu Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin with forlorn expressions. It seemed like they were about to go bankrupt!
"Master, Madam... what's the matter?"
"Wasn't Miss Yao supposed to bring back the trophy? Why didn't we see the trophy?"
"Madam, are you alright?"
Seeing Xu Aiqin almost collapsing, two or three maids hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Xu Aiqin felt weak all over, her head ached, and she was almost unable to stand. "Please, please don't mention the award to me anymore..."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Madam, let me help you sit on the sofa for a while..." The maid quickly helped Xu Aiqin to the sofa and poured two glasses of water. "Master, would you like to have a sip too?"
Lu Zhenhai had never experienced such a miserable day before. He couldn't understand why Yao Yao would plagiarize someone else's work, especially Qing Yan's...
Now, they had become a laughingstock in front of everyone!
"That brat Qing Yan..." Xu Aiqin could no longer continue cursing.
The maids thought they had encountered Qing Yan again, that Qing Yan had caused their dissatisfaction, so they eagerly joined in the scolding.
"Is that white-eyed wolf causing trouble for the master and madam again? I knew there was something wrong when Miss Yao came back with tear stains on her face, looking so aggrieved. It must have been that white-eyed wolf's doing!"
"That ungrateful wretch! If it weren't for the Lady's nurturing, could she have lived this long?"
"She has no conscience! Even crows repay kindness, but she's not even as good as a crow!"
...
"That's enough!" Lu Zhenhai's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all irritated. "If it weren't for Yaoyao plagiarizing someone else's work first, would they have come on stage to slap her face? The blame lies in Yaoyao not explaining things clearly beforehand..."
If she had, they wouldn't be in this award ceremony today, and this big joke wouldn't have happened!
The maids were stunned. Miss Yaoyao plagiarized Qing Yan's work? It was exposed, and she was publicly humiliated?
This is embarrassing...
No wonder the three of them came back with such expressions...
Just then, Xu Aiqin's phone rang. When she saw that it was Mrs. Wang calling, her heart became uneasy, but she still forced a smile. "Hello, Mrs. Wang..."
"Mrs. Lu, the award ceremony ended at 11:00 a.m. today. At 11:01 a.m., our official Weibo announced Miss Lu's endorsement status. But not long after, someone informed me that Miss Lu's entry plagiarized Tianyin Master's 'Heart's Desire.' She was publicly humiliated by Tianyin Master on the spot?"
Xu Aiqin knew she came for this matter and tried to appease her. "Mrs. Wang, let me explain..."
Mrs. Wang interrupted forcefully, "The news was suppressed, and I only found out from an informant half an hour later! Now there's a boycott against my piano brand! We had no choice but to delete the Weibo! The situation has escalated to this point, and yet you all remained silent without even an explanation?"
Xu Aiqin felt a throbbing pain on her face. "Mrs. Wang, please listen to me..."
