Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cheng Yuqi, standing at the side, regarded Fang Jiayi with bewilderment. Was there a glitch in her thinking? It seemed improbable that Fang Yuan didn’t know how to play the piano. Besides, what did she mean that Fang Yuan’s original family might have been financially modest? Cheng Yuqi couldn’t fathom how the wealthiest family in the country would be considered poor? The notion that Fang Yuan had to date multiple men to sustain herself in Jing City sounded ludicrous.
Fang Yuan’s parents had generously provided her with hundreds of millions in pocket money, ensuring her financial comfort for years. With an abundance of clothes and bags, she had no need to rely on a man for livelihood. Furthermore, she was already involved with Bo Yi, making the idea of pleasing other men absurd. Was Fang Jiayi out of touch with reality? In Cheng Yuqi’s opinion, there couldn’t be a better man than Bo Yi in the world. This was Fang Yuan’s personal matter, and Cheng Yuqi simply enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
“Nonsense!” Mu Youlan erupted in anger. “Does a figure of Senior Qingyin’s stature need a man to support her? Her value surpasses that of your entire Fang family!”
As the “Master of Qingyin,” Senior Qingyin was wealthier than many affluent families. In the past, the entertainment industry had offered exorbitant amounts, up to 100,000 yuan for a single note, to entice her into customizing a song. However, she declined, citing lack of time and no need for additional money.
“How dare someone like you blaspheme a luminary like Senior Qingyin? The entire Piano Association combined doesn’t match the talent in Senior Qingyin’s fingers! Do you think she’s young and lacks backing? Let me make it clear—the Piano Association is Senior Qingyin’s supporter! Try defaming her again?”
The audience erupted into commotion. So, the girl was indeed Senior Qingyin? Chairman Mu’s enraged expression confirmed it.
However, the revelation that Senior Qingyin was so young and beautiful left everyone in disbelief. Most had assumed she was Chairman Mu’s age.
Fang Jiayi struggled to grasp the truth. Fang Yuan as Master Qingyin seemed inconceivable.
Even Fang Liguo, Song Ling, and Lu Chen found themselves taken aback.
“Does someone of Senior Qingyin’s caliber deserve to be questioned by a junior like you? She can play the piano blindfolded, and not only blindfolded, but she can also play with her back turned better than you!”
The audience below the stage erupted once again!
Despite Fang Jiayi’s already unpleasant expression, she persisted, “Is that so? Since she’s so powerful, let’s invite her on stage to perform for everyone!”
Such audacity! No one had made such an unreasonable request before. Was she taking herself too seriously?
“If the song is truly hers, then she can perform without looking at the score. If not, she’s not Master Qingyin, and the song has nothing to do with her! How about it? Master Qingyin, do you dare to go on stage? Prove yourself!”
Fang Jiayi was confident that Fang Yuan couldn’t play the piano. Even if she could, it was impossible for her to remember this undisclosed song and play it flawlessly!
Mu Youlan was on the verge of summoning security to remove this unruly individual, but to everyone’s surprise, Fang Yuan stood up and smiled. “Sure.” With things having reached this point, she needed to make Fang Jiayi admit defeat completely!
All eyes were fixed on Fang Yuan as she gracefully approached the stage. Her attractive features, fair skin, and composed expression made her resemble a proud plum in the snow, emitting an aura of confidence.
“Chairman Mu just mentioned you can play the piano in reverse? Let’s broaden everyone’s horizons, shall we?” Fang Jiayi firmly believed that Fang Yuan would embarrass herself!
Meanwhile, Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui rushed back, observing a gathering on the stage. Yuqi held a trophy, signaling the end of the award ceremony. However, her prolonged presence on stage and evident anger puzzled them. What surprised them even more was Yuanyuan’s unexpected appearance. What had happened?
Seated on the stool with her back to the piano, Fang Yuan extended her hands backward, slender fingers landing on the keys. She began to play effortlessly.
The crowd was stunned; Fang Yuan didn’t glance at the score but played each note naturally. A beautiful melody emanated from her, creating a delightful atmosphere.
“I’m a devoted fan of Master Qingyin. Both the melody and the aura scream Master Qingyin’s style!”
“Only Master Qingyin can compose such a beautiful tune!”
“This song was undoubtedly composed by her. How else could she play it so flawlessly without any prior preparation?”
“She must truly be Master Qingyin!”
Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui were stupefied. Yuanyuan was Master Qingyin? Their beloved daughter was, in fact, a musical prodigy? They had been completely unaware…
To play with her back to the piano, without consulting the score, and still deliver such a graceful and beautiful performance! The entire composition echoed Master Qingyin’s distinctive style.
Master Qingyin’s music possessed a captivating quality. The entire audience was moved…
In contrast, Fang Jiayi’s “Sorrow” paled in comparison!
