Chapter 272: 0272 Good Chapter 272: 0272 Good Su Xinyan slightly pursed her lips and smiled, but beside her, Gu Heng’s face was filled with gloom.
What on earth was Lin Siya up to?
Both looked up and saw Gu Heng’s displeased expression.
Su Xinyan’s smile faded a bit as she looked at him, somewhat hurt.
“Brother Heng, don’t blame Siya. She was also considering my feelings. If you don’t want me to participate, it’s okay, I can just refuse…”
But it wasn’t as easy as Su Xinyan made it sound. Lin Siya’s suggestion had won everyone’s approval, and before the duo could get on stage, the crowd began to clamor again.
The host also had the piano ready.
Everything was in place, and now Gu Heng also felt like he was in a bind.
The sullen look on his face gradually subsided, replaced by a mix of conflict and discomfort.
But seeing Su Xinyan’s expectant yet restrained look, he finally closed his eyes tightly, his voice hoarse.
Xiao Ran, he had never thought about hurting her, but he also didn’t want to see Xinyan sad and upset.
Su Xinyan curled her lips in triumph, though her face showed hesitation, “But…”
Gu Heng opened his eyes and let out a deep sigh.
“It’s okay, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
Su Xinyan felt relieved, she knew he had just been worried about Su Ran.
She nodded, then stood up, holding her skirt as she walked toward the stage.
Afterward, she softly said to everyone:
“Thank you all for your recognition. It’s a rare opportunity to meet everyone here today. When it comes to the piano, I don’t have much talent, but since we’re all here to to charity, I will play a piece as a token of gratitude from countless orphans. Thank you for your love and help. If I don’t play well, please forgive me.”
Su Xinyan’s words were met with applause from the entire hall, gracious and becoming.
“I must say, Su Xinyan’s manipulative tactics are indeed unmatched by many.”
Ye Zhichen watched the person on the stage and scoffed coldly.
Su Ran just smiled with her lips curled.
Coming from someone else, those words might hold some credibility.
But seeing her overflowing confidence and eagerness to perform made it seem all the more ironic.
In the spacious venue, the piano music was melodious, the soft notes weaving an autumnal fairy tale filled with warmth and charm, incredibly picturesque.
There was aesthetic enjoyment and an uplifting of the soul!
As the last note fell, applause and shouts of praise started from the audience below.
“Beautiful, truly wonderful, Miss Xinyan’s piano skills are exceptional, worthy of a Grade 8 Pianist.”
“The artistic conception is beautiful, the mastery profound, unlike any ordinary pianist.”
“I thought she was all show and no substance, but I didn’t expect it to be so pleasing to the ear.”
“If the younger sister is so skilled, I wonder how the elder sister would compare?”
Su Xinyan smiled and stood up, then looked over at Su Ran.
But her gaze paused imperceptibly as it swept past Fu Qiyuan.
“Sister, it’s your turn now!”
As she spoke, all eyes turned toward Su Ran.
Su Ran sat back casually in her chair, leaning slightly towards Fu Qiyuan, with her right hand propped on the armrest, supporting her chin.
She slowly lifted her eyes, the dazzling lights shining into them, casting shimmering, broken beams, bright as stars, her clear, cool gaze flashing briefly.
She looked at Su Xinyan on stage, her lips curling.
“This is a Charity Donation Event, not a marketplace, I’ll refrain from joining in on this excitement.”
