Shen Fanxing returned to the hall. She didn't know how much Xu Qingzhi had drunk. Her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were misty. She looked slightly confused and lost.
"How much did you drink?" Shen Fanxing frowned at her.
Xu Qingzhi grinned and said, "I was happy to meet so many classmates. So I drank a bit more."
Shen Fanxing said helplessly, "Stay in school tonight. Don't leave like this."
"Oh… Okay."
At this moment, someone stood on the stage. After a long-winded speech, finally…
"Next, let's welcome Lan Yun Entertainment's representative, Miss Shen Qianrou! She is the opening guest to perform—'A Blessing of Liang'!"
Shortly, Shen Qianrou limped to the stage in her gown.
Watching Shen Qianrou as she sat elegantly by the piano amidst the applause, Shen Fanxing couldn't help but feel her heart aching. Her eyes quivered uncontrollably before she turned her head away.
No one wouldn't feel nothing for something they loved, especially when they were forced to give up that very thing.
Being unable to receive applause with her love was a huge part in her life.
Xu Qingzhi's heart ached when she noticed Shen Fanxing's reaction.
She had rarely seen Fanxing like this. In everyone's eyes, and even to her, Shen Fanxing was like an impenetrable wall, invincible and strong.
However, she was clearly not an impregnable fortress…
It was all because of Shen Qianrou!
She began to play the piano, and the tune was melodious and moving…
"Heh… A mistress who destroys other people's relationships is actually playing A Blessing of Liang… How disgusting…"
Xu Qingzhi's footsteps were light, but she walked toward the stage.
"Qingzhi…"
Shen Fanxing hurried over to stop her. "What are you doing?"
"I can't hear her clearly, so I need to go closer!"
In the end, Shen Fanxing stopped Xu Qingzhi. How could she not know what Xu Qingzhi was up to?
"Qingzhi, you drank too much. Stop fooling around…"
Shen Fanxing pulled Xu Qingzhi away.
However, right at this moment, the originally smooth and melodious music suddenly stopped!
"Eh? Why did it stop?"
"I don't know!"
"As expected of a world-famous song, it's quite nice to listen to."
"That's because Qianrou's skills are top-notch!"
Not long after, Shen Qianrou stood up and picked up the microphone. She said apologetically,
"I'm sorry, everyone. I accidentally sprained my ankle on the red carpet today. It's very difficult for me to step on the piano pedal. Rather than forcing myself to bring an imperfect song to everyone, it's not only disrespectful to you, but also disrespectful to the music… I'm really sorry for halting the performance. On behalf of Lan Yun Entertainment and the Shen family, I sincerely apologize to everyone!"
As she spoke, she gave a deep bow to the audience and stood up. Her beautiful face was filled with guilt and conflict. Her beautiful eyes swept across the audience before landing on Shen Fanxing's back.
After a moment, she retracted her gaze and glanced at Lin Feifei.
Lin Feifei seemed to understand her message. She pondered for a while and said,
"You are not the only one who can represent the Shen family. Isn't your elder sister, Shen Fanxing, here today? Why don't you let her perform on stage for you… Oh, isn't that Shen Fanxing?"
The moment Lin Feifei finished speaking, many people turned to look at her…
