Diana frowned and was about to speak when Ye Caitang suddenly waved her hand and said with a smile,
“Forget it. See you on stage.”
Ye Caitang looked at Qin Ruohan and silently signaled to him:
Time to let go. It was time for her performance.
Seeing this, Qin Ruohan immediately frowned. He realized that this lass had no intention of asking him to go on stage with her.
He offered,
“I’ll go on stage with you.”
Ye Caitang looked at Qin Ruohan in surprise and disbelief.
“Mr. Qin, you know how to play the piano too?”
Qin Ruohan said calmly and humbly,
“A little.”
Qin Tian:
Mr. Qin, you’re a full-level big shot who won the international professional piano competition at the age of 12.
You even managed to make all the judges cry in shock. How can you say that know “a little”?
Ye Caitang nodded.
“Since you want, let’s play together.”
She looked at Mr. Qin as if he was a burden and sighed silently:
Mr. Qin was a cold-blooded big shot who was so busy every day. Even if he knew how to play the piano, his proficiency was probably at the level of an elementary school student, right?
She hoped that he would not cause trouble when he could not keep up with her speed.
In the end, like a king looking down on the world, Qin Ruohan walked onto the stage elegantly with Ye Caitang and began to play the piano piece.
Their first piece was “Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor” by Prokofiev.
This was a fiendishly difficult piece that was a tour de force. It was rated as a “glorious and maniacally-showy divine piece.”
When Ye Caitang and Qin Ruohan played the melody of this piece, everyone’s jaws dropped in shock as they stared at the duo in shock.
“This song is widely acknowledged to be notoriously difficult. Even internationally famous piano maestros rarely can fully perform this song.”
“The two of them clearly don’t look like professional pianists. Can they play such a difficult piece?”
“Did the two of them deliberately choose an even more difficult piece after seeing Diana stun the audience with a difficult piece?”
“Do they know how many internationally famous maestros don’t dare to try this piece?”
All the guests watched Ye Caitang and Qin Ruohan with amusement as they made a fool of themselves.
When Diana and Carl heard the guests’ guesses, the corners of their mouths curled up in unison, and a flash of absolute confidence flashed across their eyes.
At that time, even their teacher could not perform this piece perfectly. They did not believe that these two could play it well.
“If you know that you can’t win, just play an ordinary piece honestly. At least it won’t be so humiliating.”
Diana gloated.
“If they insist on puffing themselves up now, they’ll be in for humiliation later.’
Carl frowned and reminded Diana,
“Diana, watch your words and actions. Don’t be arrogant.”
“Carl, I’m not arrogant. I’m just telling the truth.”
Diana wheedled.
“You’re the most outstanding pianist in the world to begin with. The two of them are noobs at piano. They definitely can’t compare to you.”
“They clearly know that they can’t compare to you. Not only did they not take the initiative to admit defeat, but they also insisted on puffing themselves up.”
“Let’s see how they humiliate themselves later.”
Carl sighed and looked helplessly at the pampered and domineering Diana. “Even if we win later, it will be an unfair victory. Don’t be smug.”
“Carl…” Diana was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by the perfect performance on the stage and thunderous ovation..
