Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 28) Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 28) Yang Huiying had been waiting for a reply from the Lemon Tree Orchestra.
During this period, her mentor often took her out. The treatment was like heaven compared to the hell it had been before.
She was applying a mask on her bed when she suddenly received a call from her mentor.
“What? I’ll be right there.” She hurriedly ripped off the face mask, quickly got ready, and left the house.
“The principal pianist of the Lemon Tree Orchestra told me that he heard your ‘Sunshine’ somewhere else yesterday. And the person said it was their original composition. He’s now doubting the authenticity of what you’ve said before.”
Yang Huiying’s face changed color—could it be that they had met Ning Zhao?
She couldn’t admit to this no matter what.
She said indignantly, “This must be a lie. ‘Sunshine’ is my original work, and I have the manuscript to prove it.”
Seeing her so adamant, her mentor also felt relieved. After all, he didn’t want his student to be someone who plagiarized someone else’s work.
“I will explain this matter to the Lemon Tree Orchestra. Don’t worry; the innocent will clear themselves.”
Yang Huiying managed a forced smile, looking somewhat distracted.
Her mentor, thinking she was affected by this incident, comforted her a few words and then left.
Yang Huiying returned to her residence, feeling increasingly anxious the more she thought about it.
No, she had to do something. She absolutely could not give Ning Zhao the chance to defend herself. This piece of music could only belong to her!
Right at that moment, someone had posted a series of videos on a large music forum she frequented.
[Went to a banquet yesterday and happened to hear a piece that amazed me as a celestial being. Out of the spirit of sharing joy together rather than alone, I’m putting it up here to share with all netizens.]
Yang Huiying clicked in, and there it was—the video of Ning Zhao playing that piece of music.
The angle of the camera was perfect, capturing even the conversations of the people in the video very clearly, including Ning Zhao’s line “This is the piece I composed for you,” which was audible enough for everyone to hear clearly.
Yang Huiying became both anxious and angry as she scrolled through the comments below.
Some praised the beauty of the piece, some asked who the pianist was. After scrolling for a while, finally someone mentioned that the name of the piece in the video was ‘Sunshine,’ and they had already heard it played at the graduation ceremony of Pine Forest Academy half a month earlier.
The composer, it was clear, was not the girl in the video.
The comments below started to become noisy and bustling. When Yang Huiying saw this, she suddenly had an idea.
Half an hour later, a new post was published on the forum.
The author was Yang Huiying.
In the post, she publicly claimed that she saw that video on the forum, and the girl in the video claimed the piano piece was her original composition, but Yang Huiying herself had already played this piece on the big stage of Pine Forest Academy half a month before, and that girl was just a despicable plagiarist.
She also uploaded photos. In the photos was the manuscript of the piano piece.
The forum exploded, and many people condemned Gu Shengyin.
The original poster was also confused. He just said he didn’t know the girl, and the video was just taken when attending a banquet. When netizens pressed for the identity of the girl, he tightened up and refused to say.
Tang Zhongyi received a phone call: “Hey, Second Young Master Tang, have you checked the Sound of Music forum? Someone’s saying that the piece that Ning Zhao played for you that day was plagiarized!”
