To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 589

Chapter 589: I Hope You Guys Won’t Mind

The applause at the venue became even louder, and Huo Jinyao’s expression changed.

At the moment, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui’s expressions didn’t look that good.

Everyone knew about this matter, but everyone intentionally ignored it.

Su Qingsang and Su Peizhen’s identity switch would definitely have an impact beyond Su Qingsang’s 20-plus years of life as an illegitimate daughter.

Most importantly, she lost all the resources, the best education and the best upbringing, that should have belonged to her.

Su Peizhen knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Li Qianxue was nurturing her daughter as a blue-blood lady.

To Su Peizhen, playing the piano was just the simplest virtuosity.

She not only knew how to play the piano, but also the violin and the guzheng. For more than 20 years, she had not only enjoyed Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue’s parental love, but also lessons from top-notch teachers.

Su Qingsang would never be able to make up for this.

Li Qianxue’s heart shook and she almost vomited blood. She moved her feet and was about to walk forward. At this moment, Su Chenghui blocked her way.

“Are you satisfied?” Li Qianxue gritted her teeth and looked at Su Chenghui with resentful eyes. “Su Chenghui, are you satisfied? Is this what you want?”

“Qianxue, calm down.” Su Chenghui looked left and right, then took a step forward and stood in front of Li Qianxue. “You can’t go up now.”

If they caused a scene, it would reflect badly on all of them.

“Su Chenghui, of course you don’t want me to go up.” Of course, Li Qianxue knew that at this time, she couldn’t go up, and she couldn’t scold Su Peizhen.

If she really did that, things would definitely get worse.

As if she was about to cry, her eyes reddened and she lowered her head. “Su Chenghui, I hate you.”

“Qianxue, I’m sorry.” This apology was too feeble.

Su Chenghui turned around and looked at Su Peizhen. He patted Li Qianxue’s shoulder. “I’ll go.”

He was going to stop Su Peizhen’s madness and emotional outburst.

Li Qianxue glared at him and said, “You don’t understand. You don’t understand at all.”

Su Qingsang was going to win this battle on her own. Today was a celebratory day for Tianyu Group. It was also a celebratory day for Huo Jinyao.

As the wife of the president of Tianyu Group, no one cared whether Su Qingsang knew how to play the zither or not. They only cared about Su Peizhen’s challenge.

If Su Qingsang didn’t play the zither today, or didn’t want to come up with a way to defeat Su Peizhen to prove herself, then she would definitely lose face on this occasion.

“Su Chenghui, I hate you.”

Li Qianxue was extremely anxious. She didn’t care about anything and just wanted to go on stage. However, she saw Su Qingsang, who had been standing there motionlessly, finally making a move.

Huo Jinyao had known from the moment Su Peizhen threw out the challenge letter that Su Peizhen had come with ill intentions. However, he didn’t expect Su Peizhen to challenge Su Qingsang to play the zither.

As far as he knew, Su Qingsang had no opportunity to learn these things.

“Qingsang?” Huo Jinyao’s expression was grave. He reached out to pull Su Qingsang’s hand. Su Peizhen was really a troublemaker.

She wanted Su Qingsang to play the zither? He moved his feet and was about to go up the stage.

Su Qingsang glanced at him and shook her head at him. What Su Qingsang thought of, Li Qianxue thought of as well.

She had to be the one to fight today.

“Qingsang?”

“I’m fine.”Su Qingsang smiled at Huo Jinyao and whispered, “If I embarrass you later, don’t despise me.”

“I’ll never turn my back on you.”

Huo Jinyao gazed at her passionately. Su Qingsang smiled with satisfaction and longing.

She leaned forward and kissed Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao heard her whisper, “I need some encouragement, that’s all.”

After that kiss, she went up the stage with a smile and walked towards Su Peizhen step by step.

The applause in the banquet hall became even louder. Even Old Master Huo clapped along with them.

After Su Peizhen stood on the stage, the applause stopped for a moment. Su Peizhen stood in front of the piano. Against the white piano, her red gown was really eye-catching.

Su Qingsang and Su Peizhen each had their own unique features. Su Peizhen was glamorous, and Su Qingsang was exquisite.

“Sister, please go ahead.”

Su Peizhen smiled subtly and raised her hand gently. She gestured for Su Qingsang to sit down beside her.

Su Qingsang glanced at her but wasn’t in a hurry to sit down. Instead, she picked up the microphone in the middle. She walked in front of Su Peizhen and stood still, then looked at the audience.

“My sister has been practicing since she was four years old. Wasn’t her piano performance very impressive?”

“Yes.” There was not only a response from the audience, but also applause.

“Since my sister had already played the piano so beautifully, I think that even if I play four hands with her, I won’t be able to impress you guys.”

Su Qingsang said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the audience burst into laughter.

She stood there gracefully. Her golden gown made her look elegant and otherworldly. There was a bright smile in her eyes, as dazzling as the stars.

His eyes filled with admiration and amazement, Huo Jinyao gazed at Su Qingsang.

As Su Qingsang spoke, she held Su Peizhen’s hand and said, “So, I thought, why don’t I sing a song for you guys? My sister will play the piano, and I will sing. What do you guys think?”

“Okay.”

The applause below the stage were even louder than before. Su Qingsang looked at Su Peizhen and said, “Sister, let’s collaborate to create a legend. I hope that Tianyu Group will become a legend.”

With a composed expression and a calm gaze, she looked at Su Peizhen.

Su Peizhen placed her hands on the piano. She tried to restrain herself from clenching her fists.

“A legend of sisters should be better than the Symphony of Fate, right?”

She didn’t move, so Su Qingsang joked again. There was light laughter below the stage.

Su Qingsang turned around and looked at the crowd. “Can you give my sister a round of applause? Thank you, everyone.”

Applause rang out from below the stage. Su Peizhen’s smile froze for a moment, but she could only sit down with a stiff smile.

Su Qingsang nodded slightly. Even if Su Peizhen was unwilling, she could only start playing the very famous song, “Legend”.

“It was only because I took one extra glance at you in the crowd that I could never forget your face. I dreamed of meeting you again one day, and from then on, I began to miss you in solitudee…”

The moment she opened her mouth, everyone present was awed.

Even though Huo Jinyao and a few of his childhood friends had heard Su Qingsang sing before, they didn’t feel as awed before as they did now.

Su Qingsang’s voice wasn’t very melodious, but it was very pleasant to listen to.

At that moment, she lowered her voice by a degree, so it sounded especially ethereal and beautiful. Her singing rivaled that of famous singers.

Accompanied by the gentle sound of the piano, she simply stood there.

On the stage, there were two figures, one in red, a one in gold, and one moving while the other quiet. Along with the white piano, it was an absolutely beautiful scene.

It wasn’t that Su Peizhen hadn’t thought of doing something bad, such as playing the tune one beat faster or one beat higher.

It was just that Su Qingsang seemed to know her plan. Every time Su Peizhen planned to do something, Su Qingsang would stand in front of the piano and sing to her gently with one hand still on her shoulder.

She originally wanted to make things difficult for Su Qingsang, but she was forced to become her accompanist.

Su Peizhen felt stifled and could barely suppress it.

There were no more intense ups and downs in this song. Su Qingsang simply sang softly and gently.

Everyone in the banquet hall was awestruck by Su Qingsang’s voice, the confidence she showed at this moment, and the vibe she gave off when she raised her hands.

Even though her facial features weren’t as glamorous as Su Peizhen’s, after this scene, she had already stolen her limelight.

Su Peizhen was in a bad mood, but Su Qingsang was getting better and better as she sang.

“I’d rather spend my life waiting for you to realize that I’ve always been by your side and had never left.”

After singing the last sentence perfectly, Su Qingsang pulled the microphone a certain distance away.

Such a scene was like a concert, and it would be memorable even after a long time.

Su Qingsang lowered her eyes slightly and held the microphone in her hand. Her standing there just like that was also a scenery.

Su Peizhen, who was at the back, was now her foil.

All of them would remember Su Qingsang, and her legend.

The Symphony of Fate that awed them previously seemed to have become insignificant now.

The music stopped and there was still lingering sounds.

However, if an expert were to listen at this moment, they would definitely be able to tell that Su Peizhen’s current final ending was far less elegant than that of when she was playing the Symphony of Fate.

Intending to take the microphone and take back her position as thee host, she stood up and walked forward.

However, how could Su Qingsang let her have her way?

She reached out and grabbed Su Peizhen’s hand. With a slight use of force, the two of them faced the stage together.

Su Qingsang had a smile on her face. Even though her facial features weren’t as seductive as Su Peizhen’s, she was still shining brightly at this moment.

At this moment, the spotlight shone on her body and gave her an otherworldly aura.

Not giving her a chance to take the microphone away from her palm, she held Su Peizhen’s hand tightly.

Her toes moved forward slightly. It was only half a step, but it made her become the main character, while Su Peizhen became a supporting character.

“Thank you, everyone, and I thank my sister for her accompaniment for the song ‘Legend’. I hope that Tianyu Group will become the legend of Rong City and the legend of the world.”

Her voice was very soft and ethereal. After she sang the song, her voice sounded more memorable than when she first introduced herself.

Su Qingsang refering to her performance as accompaniment made Su Peizhen so angry that the smile on her face was about to collapse. However, the spotlight shone on her face, and she couldn’t even burst out now.

“Now, let’s give our positions to the performers at the back. Otherwise, I think they might complain later that I’m taking their jobs.”

“Hahahaha.”

There was another burst of laughter and applause below the stage. Su Qingsang gracefully held Su Peizhen’s hand, bowed forward, and left the stage perfectly.

Su Peizhen’s face was stiff. She forced herself not to show her cowardice and not to be angry, but how could she not be angry?

Her smile ceased after she left the stage.

The performance on the stage started again. Almost as soon as Su Peizhen got off the stage and towards a place where no one was looking, she impatiently shook off Su Qingsang’s hand.
