Wen Ruya glanced at him, "Good is good. Talent is talent. It’s something you’re born with. It’s not something you can get with hard work."
"Mom, do you also think that Sister Xinzhi’s piano playing lacks soul?" Helian Yi frowned, thinking about what Lu Xingzhi said today.
"She has a good foundation and her technique is excellent. However, her music lacks life; it’s lifeless. Compared to your third sister-in-law, the difference is clear. It’s a pity, why didn’t this child apply to a music academy!" Wen Ruya still felt regretful.
Listening to Lu Xingzhi’s piano playing is truly a pleasure. It’s like watching a musical.
But for Shen Xinzhu, indeed, she is someone who has been overly praised.
Helian Yi couldn’t bring himself to disagree with Wen Ruya’s words.
He was also curious why Lu Xingzhi didn’t apply to a music academy. With her level of skill, she should be highly sought after!
"Little Zhi Liao lost her mother when she was only two months old. Before meeting Third Brother, she lived alone. During high school, she worked while studying. How could she afford the expenses of a music academy on her own? At the banquet before, Little Zhi Liao mentioned that she hasn’t touched a piano in three years."
Helian Xi learned about Lu Xingzhi’s situation gradually, "I think Little Zhi Liao is really strong. Under such circumstances, she was still able to win scholarships every year and become the top high school graduate in the liberal arts nationally. We all use the same exam papers; how did she manage it?"
"This child has had it tough. Luckily, she met Jin Chen. If she’d encountered someone like your brother..." Wen Ruya couldn’t help but sigh. As a mother, her heart was still tender.
Especially when she met a girl like Lu Xingzhi, beautiful and outstanding in every way, she couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
How difficult it must have been for a child without a mother when they were young!
"Mom, I’m your biological son. I’m not bad, okay? If she were really my fiancée, I wouldn’t have been so..." Helian Yi trailed off. This wouldn’t even have been possible, would it?
While Lu Xingzhi’s situation is pitiable, he also found her rather infuriating!
Suddenly showing up, and after her appearance, he’s become increasingly wrong in and out of the family.
Even in his mom’s eyes, his status was diminishing day by day.
"Mom’s right." Helian Xi nodded in agreement, "Every time you see Little Zhi Liao, you have to bully her. If she truly were your fiancée, you might have forbidden her from playing the piano for life, just because of Shen Xinzhu."
"How could I do that? Am I that bad in your eyes, that I would stifle someone’s dreams and talents?" Helian Yi felt that, in their eyes, he was already unforgivable.
"For that Shen Xinzhu woman, you’d do anything. You saw how Shen Xinzhu bullied Little Zhi Liao today, but after Little Zhi Liao played the piano, you blamed her for everything. She can’t compare to Little Zhi Liao in anything, yet she wants to take Third Brother. If I were a man, I wouldn’t choose her either."
Helian Xi regretted not being a man; otherwise, she would definitely be adept at identifying pretentious women.
"Exactly what did Sister Xinzhi do to offend you? She’s clearly very hardworking and excellent."
"Then you should go pursue her and marry her! Save her from harming others." Helian Xi rolled her eyes, her good mood ruined by him, and she went straight to her room.
"Dad, Mom, you see her..."
"Your sister is right."
