He specifically flipped through the sheet music and chose a highly difficult piano piece, which he began to play fluidly.
Although he made several mistakes, he was not flustered, because he knew that the people in the room did not understand much about it and definitely couldn’t tell.
It was precisely because of this that he had deliberately chosen a challenging piece to showcase his skills.
But he had never expected that Jiang Mianmian was not among those who couldn’t understand.
In junior high school, Jiang Mianmian admired others playing the piano, thinking it very elegant and stylish, and she and her best friend had even found a private tutor to learn piano for a while.
However, she lost interest after three minutes and only learned the basics, while her best friend persisted. Hence, she had heard this world-famous piece more than once.
She had caught all the mistakes Yu Ruixuan had made just now.
She leaned into Yu Cheng’s ear and whispered, "Brother Yu, he made several mistakes just now."
Although Yu Cheng was somewhat surprised that she could detect the errors in the piano piece, he did not doubt her words at all.
So when Yu Ruixuan finished playing and was smugly mimicking a pianist’s bow, Yu Cheng let out a snort, "You made several mistakes just now, what’s there to be proud of?"
Yu Ruixuan didn’t expect Yu Cheng to notice his mistakes, and he instantly became furious, glaring at Yu Cheng and angrily challenging, "What right do you have to criticize me? Can you even read sheet music? Do you even know what piece I was playing? You don’t know anything, and yet you accuse me of making mistakes, the nerve."
"Whether you made mistakes or not, don’t you know it yourself?" Yu Cheng said.
Just as Yu Ruixuan was about to say something, Yu Rou quickly intervened to calm things down, "Alright, alright, we’re all family here, what’s there to argue about? If there were mistakes, just correct them next time."
Yu Rou had actually heard the quiet conversation between Jiang Mianmian and Yu Cheng just now, and seeing Yu Ruixuan’s embarrassed and angry demeanor, she knew that what Jiang Mianmian had said was correct.
Because of this incident, she began to see Jiang Mianmian in a new light.
This young girl was even more impressive than she had imagined, having appeared in newspapers, being able to make clothes, and now playing the piano; who knew how many more surprises she could bring?
Soon, the dishes were ready, and Zhou Yanyu came out from the kitchen, "Our Yu Rou has become even more beautiful."
"Second Aunt is still as lovely as ever." Yu Rou politely said.
No matter when, women always like to be complimented on their looks, Zhou Yanyu touched her face and happily said, "Ah, I’m old, no match for you young people. You arrived just in time, the food is ready, Ruixuan, go to the study and call your dad and your granddad for dinner."
"Got it, Mom," Yu Ruixuan rushed to the study to call everyone.
Zhou Yanyu and the aunt had prepared a table full of dishes, and the family happily finished their meal. Zhou Yanyu wanted her son to make a good impression in front of his grandfather.
She went to the doorway and brought out a newspaper, smiling as she handed it to Yu Ruixuan, "Ruixuan, didn’t you say a few days ago you wanted to translate a foreign military report for your granddad? I’ve brought it out; read this foreign newspaper to your granddad."
In fact, the newspaper had been translated into Chinese by a translator well in advance by Zhou Yanyu just for today, so that Yu Ruixuan could impress his grandfather.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yu became interested, "Oh? Ruixuan, you can translate military newspapers now?"
"Yes, Granddad, let me read it to you." Yu Ruixuan took the newspaper, straightened his back, and translated fluently.
