Ye Xingguang was unsure if the elderly Master Gu had actually heard her play. Therefore, she wanted to be cautious. She didn’t want to recklessly take the stage and have her face metaphorically slapped like Xia Yanyan did.
Master Gu, without seeing who was speaking, asked, “Who’s talking? Can you hum a few bars for me?”
Ye Xingguang raised her hand, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
She didn’t get stage fright. Relying on her memory, she hummed a few bars casually.
Master Gu reacted as if he had discovered a treasure. “Yes, that’s the tune!
Were you the girl playing the piano in the lobby of Jingcai Pavilion last night?” “It wasn’t me, it was a friend of mine,” Ye Xingguang denied.
Master Gu pursued, “Then who is this friend? Can you give me her contact information?”
Ye Xingguang responded, “Her name is Yue Xi. She tends to keep a low profile and doesn’t like to be in the limelight. However, she would be willing to fulfill Master Gu’s wishes. Would Master Gu be willing to wait until after the opening ceremony for a chance to hear the piece she composed?”
Master Gu asked, “Can you play the piano?”
“Then why wait till the ceremony ends? We have a piano right here on stage.
Would anyone object to listening along with me?”
After already undermining Xia Yanyan, if she couldn’t deliver a better song, the fans of Xia would undoubtedly persist. The best course of action now was to play a piece even more heart-stirring to prove that her life’s work indeed surpassed Xia’s new song.
The male host, unsure of how to mediate the situation, immediately relieved upon hearing the words. He promptly went down to invite Ye Xingguang onto the stage.
The audience was more than willing. Who wouldn’t want to hear the song that had captivated Master Gu t s heart and outdone Xia Yanyan’s new song?
Ye Xingguang took the stage and sat in front of the piano.
Last night’s piece was composed on the fly. She left when her taxi arrived, so she hadn’t completed the song. Now, she decided to improvise on stage and continue the unfinished piece.
Just like Xia Yanyan, she was a natural when it came to mastering music, born with a superior ability compared to others.
Perhaps due to a shift in her mood. Thinking of the post by Ye Junqing, the rest of the piece strayed from its previous bitterness, each note bouncing with a hint of sweetness.
Music is the most resonant form of expression. Its quality is immediately recognizable. Not only the musicians in the audience, but even those in the media area with less musical ability could tell, this song was indeed beautiful.
In a word: While beautiful songs are dime a dozen, a heartfelt melody is one in a million.
Indeed, it was a lifetime masterpiece for Master Gu!
Who would have thought that with so many singers performing at the opening ceremony, the limelight would finally be stolen by a journalist using the mysterious composer Yue Xi?
Xia Yanyan was furious. She never expected that she would be outshone by a little White Lotus today.
Skipping all the activities after the ceremony, she immediately made her escape in her nannies car before the journalists could crowd around her.
The moment she got into the car, she stripped off all her poise and elegance, angrily throwing her phone, “Find out what kind of unbearable pressure made Ye Junqing so supportive of that White Lotus today, letting her steal the show time after time, shamelessly basking in my glory!!
Ye Li didn’t dare to breathe loudly. She handed her phone forward timorously,
“Xia… Xia… Look at this… KOCO TV station’s official Weibo just posted this… Ye
Junqing personally cooked a steak for that White Lotus..”
