This bitch, not afraid to make a fool of herself.
"Sister Xinzhi, she doesn’t even understand piano, you’re putting her in a difficult spot." Helian Yi was a bit anxious hearing Shen Xinzhu’s words, even if Lu Xingzhi had played piano before, she couldn’t possibly be as skilled as her.
When Shen Xinzhu had just asked Lu Xingzhi to comment on her playing, Helian Yi actually wanted to stop it.
He knew that Shen Xinzhu was deliberately trying to embarrass Lu Xingzhi.
"Shen Xinzhu, who do you think you are? Just because you ask my sister-in-law to play, she has to play? Do you have that right?" Helian Xi wasn’t sure if Lu Xingzhi could play the piano, but she had to stand up for her.
"Xiao Xi, I merely thought that Miss Lu seemed to have some insights on piano, so I suggested it. Miss Lu doesn’t have to play, I didn’t force her." Shen Xinzhu said innocently.
"Shi Huai, don’t you think it’s strange?" Mo Jinyan suddenly spoke softly.
"Shen Xinzhu is provoking Little Zhi Liao so blatantly, yet Jin Chen is completely indifferent." Mo Jinyan raised an eyebrow with deep meaning, it should be as he thought!
"You..." Helian Xi really wanted to rush over and beat up Shen Xinzhu, this white lotus.
"Since you’ve put it this way, I guess it doesn’t make sense for me not to play." Lu Xingzhi appreciated Helian Xi’s support, giving her a reassuring smile.
Then she walked over to the piano and sat down.
"Hey, Lu Xingzhi, don’t act impulsively, Sister Xinzhi graduated from Manhattan Music College. She’s already held several solo piano concerts, so don’t try to show off." Although Helian Yi didn’t like Lu Xingzhi, he still reminded her.
Lu Xingzhi glanced at him indifferently, "Thanks for the reminder."
"Exactly, Sister Xinzhi is really amazing. You can’t compare to her." Seeing Helian Yi speak up, Zou Qianqian also chimed in.
Internally, Shen Xinzhu was complacent; even if she lost to Lu Xingzhi in appearance, how could Lu Xingzhi compare to her in piano?
Just as Shen Xinzhu was secretly pleased, Lu Xingzhi’s fingers began to move.
However, she just played along the keys once, then back again.
Shen Xinzhu showed an apologetic expression, "Miss Lu, sorry, I didn’t know you couldn’t play the piano. I thought you understood piano, so I said..."
Lu Xingzhi didn’t pay her any mind, nor did she care what others thought.
A pleasant and cheerful melody flowed from her fingertips, gardens, streams, playfulness. It was like a beautiful childhood, carefree, happy, and willful.
In certain fast-paced parts, her fingers danced rapidly, as if enhanced with special effects.
This really tested her skills.
Finally, as the piece ended, the music slowed, with a faint hint of sadness.
Many people inexplicably felt their eyes moistening.
And suddenly the tempo picked up again, powerful and strong.
Once the piece was finished, Lu Xingzhi stood up, bowed to everyone, and despite their objections, walked over to Huo Jincheng’s side.
For a long time, applause slowly filled the banquet hall.
Helian Xi excitedly ran over and hugged Lu Xingzhi, "Little Zhi, Sister-in-law, you were amazing! My gosh, I don’t even understand piano, but I actually understood it. I can’t really explain it, just felt you were incredible."
Helian Yi looked at Lu Xingzhi incredulously, was the piano just now really played by Lu Xingzhi?
Wasn’t she just a country girl? How could she play piano like that...
