Chapter 589 - I Hope You Guys Won’t Mind (1/2)
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?”
