The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 419
Chapter 419: If You Want To Fight, I’ll Fight!
The lighting technician cast a spotlight on Sheng An’ning. Her bright red dress instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The guests all looked at Sheng An’ning on the stage, feeling a little confused.
As everyone knew, Sheng An’ning had a beautiful and ethereal voice. She had once debuted as a singer and became famous everywhere with a song called ‘Moonlight Border.’
But if she wasn’t singing, what could it be?
Sheng An’ning stood under the spotlight and enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
She smiled proudly and clapped her hands. Soon, a staff moved a long table for her.
The table was covered with a red silk cloth, and it was hard to see what was underneath.
Su Wan, who was chatting with her grandmother, noticed this scene and her almond-shaped eyes widened.
If she had guessed correctly, this was a Guqin table. Under the red cloth, it must be a Guqin.
Su Wan couldn’t help but clench her fists. A bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
It was because she had planned to play the Guqin as a birthday gift for grandfather Jiang’s birthday banquet.
Was it such a coincidence that Sheng An’ning also had this idea?
Just as Su Wan was in a dilemma, Sheng An’ning stretched out her slender hand and gently lifted the red silk cloth.
Sure enough, there was a Zhongni-style Guqin underneath. Under the beam of the spotlight, the simple and unadorned body of the Guqin looked quiet and elegant.
Su Wan’s eyes darkened. She had actually guessed correctly…
Sheng An’ning stood on the stage. When she glanced at Su Wan’s frowning face, the smile on her face couldn’t help but deepen.
The resentment that had accumulated in her heart for a long time turned into pride in an instant.
Heh, she stole Su Wan’s inspiration just to see Su Wan in this state!
Let’s see how this woman will get on the stage later!
Sheng An’ning shifted her gaze away from Su Wan. She gave a gentle bow to the crowd with a generous and decent smile.
“I’ve been learning the Guqin since I was young. Today is Grandfather’s 70th birthday celebration. I’ve decided to play a piece and wish Grandfather a long life!”
Before she could finish her sentence, a round of applause broke out around her.
Sheng An’ning withdrew her satisfied expression. She smiled and sat down elegantly.
Her slender fingers rested on the Guqin. Soon, her fingers fluttered like butterflies, and the strings of the Guqin began to play a lively tune.
It was the tune of ‘Happy Birthday To You’!
Many guests were already talking, praising Sheng An’ning for not only her beauty but also her talent.
“Miss Sheng is so amazing. I thought singing was her forte. I didn’t expect her to know how to play the Guqin!”
“Not only that, I heard that Miss Sheng also knows how to play the cello.”
“Such a talented girl is really rare…”
Although she was mentally prepared earlier, Su Wan’s face could not help but turn pale.
Was it really such a coincidence?
They both chose to play the Guqin as a birthday present, and they even chose the same song…
Su Wan thought of the look Sheng An’ning gave her just now. There was a hint of arrogance in her smugness, as if she was showing off…
Su Wan pursed her lips, and a cold look appeared in her bright almond-shaped eyes.
Her heart sank. She suddenly felt that everything Sheng An’ning had done was premeditated, and it was all aimed at her.
Jiang Xuecheng stood beside Su Wan. He looked at her pale face and silently reached out his hand to cover her palm.
“Wan Wan, are you alright? Don’t be afraid. I’ve prepared Ginseng that’s more than a thousand years old. Just send it over to grandfather under our names.”
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he coldly looked at Sheng An’ning on the stage.
He did not expect Sheng An’ning to be capable of stealing other people’s idea!
With Jiang Xuecheng’s understanding of Sheng An’ning, he would not mistake it as a coincidence.
Su Wan had been practicing the song “Happy Birthday To You” for a long time, but she did not expect it to end up as an idea for someone else to steal.
How did Sheng An’ning know such a secret?
Thinking about how Su Wan took time out every day to practice the Guqin, Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes turned cold and his expression became a little uneasy…
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s comforting words, Su Wan looked at the man beside her and smiled at him.
That warm and generous hand gave Su Wan some strength.
In fact, she was not afraid. It was just a pity that after practicing the Guqin for so long, it ended up like this…
On stage, the song ended.
When the last syllable flowed out from Sheng An’ning’s fingertips, everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and started clapping again.
Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t help but nod as well. He was obviously very satisfied with Sheng An’ning’s gift.
Sheng An’ning slowly stood up. Her every move was elegant and graceful.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly. The smile on her face was extremely sweet, like the spring breeze in April. The people couldn’t help but feel intoxicated.
“Thank you all for liking this song. Actually, I had an arrangement with someone before I came on stage. I’ll come on stage first, and then she’ll come after me.”
The gorgeous and dreamy light shone on Sheng An’ning’s face. She paused for a moment and shot a meaningful glance at Su Wan.
“Isn’t that right, sis-in-law?”
A gentle and moving voice drifted over. It was clearly an angel-like voice, but to Su Wan’s ears, it was no different from a devil’s.
Sure enough, Sheng An’ning wanted to embarrass her!
As soon as she said this, all the guests couldn’t help looking at Su Wan.
Although they had long heard that Sheng An’ning and Su Wan were on bad terms, what exactly were they doing on an occasion like the 70th birthday of senior master Jiang?
“Sis-in-law, I’ve finished. Aren’t you coming up?”
Sheng An’ning looked down at Su Wan from above. The smile on her face was clear, but there was a hint of sarcasm and ridicule that was hard to see.
Where did the arrangement come from? !
That’s right, she had taken the initiative to strike first to see Su Wan make a fool of herself!
How was Su Wan going to end up in front of so many guests today?
Could Su Wan accuse her of lying?
There was a strange atmosphere in the air. When everyone felt the atmosphere, their throats inexplicably tightened and they felt a little nervous.
Su Wan was focused on her. The smile on her face did not change. She looked at the arrogant Sheng An’ning on stage and took a step forward calmly. She smiled politely at the guests present.
“Just now, everyone heard a western-style song, but I think the Guqin is more suitable for Chinese music. Next, I will play the song, ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’. I hope everyone will like it.”
Su Wan only knew two songs in total. She did not expect that ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ would come in handy.
Fortunately, she had learned ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ for the longest time. Moreover, the meaning of the song itself was very good. It was suitable for the birthday celebration.
‘If you want to fight, I will fight!’
Su Wan had never been a coward!
Just as Su Wan was about to walk up to the stage, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stopped her.
Su Wan was startled and looked at Jiang Xuecheng in confusion. Jiang Xuecheng smiled calmly and held her hand as he looked around at the guests.
“I’ll play with you.”
