Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Even You Have to Guard Against Your Own Mother Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Even You Have to Guard Against Your Own Mother The theater was gradually filling up with people.

Xu Huaiyin and his assistant Du Zhi, leading a group of six, directed the six young students who still looked like teenagers to take their seats in the back row.

“I brought you here today to broaden your horizons and see what level Master Chu Kong’s disciple is at,”

Xu Huaiyin said these words, but anyone could hear the sarcasm in his voice.

His six young students, naturally understanding his tone, responded in their hearts.

“Don’t worry, Teacher, we’ll definitely enjoy the show!”

“If Shen Yixin goes on stage, I would certainly be convinced.

But as for this newcomer, who knows what level she’s at!”

“Assistant Du said her skills are not even half as good as ours!”

“Hahaha…”

After Xu Huaiyin settled his students, he proceeded to the front.

In the middle of the front row, an elderly gentleman was already seated, and everyone passing by would respectfully greet him.

This white-haired, spirited gentleman, without any airs, was none other than the retired former conductor of the Starlight Symphony Orchestra, Kunyang.

“Master Kun, you’ve arrived,”

Xu Huaiyin also approached, greeting him with great respect.

“Xu, you’ve come.

Please take your seat.”

Xu Huaiyin smiled and took his seat beside Kunyang, engaging in a very enthusiastic conversation.

“I’ve heard that today Master Chu will also announce his successor, which is something everyone in the industry is looking forward to.”

Kunyang nodded in agreement at the prospect, “I’m aware of that.”

“Hahaha, it seems everyone is quite interested.

Master Chu’s noble character and integrity are admirable; the successor he chooses will surely be the most perfect pianist in his eyes.

Our piano circle has hope for the future!”

Xu Huaiyin lavished praise, extolling Chu Kong and Shao Yunxuan.

Before Kunyang could respond, a middle-aged woman dressed in a bright red cheongsam, slightly plump in figure, leaned forward excitedly and chimed in, “That goes without saying, it has to be perfect!”

Kunyang and Xu Huaiyin were taken aback.

The speaker was Shao Yunxuan’s mother, Jia Fangqin, who had never been to such an event before and thought it was as casual as chatting in the alleys at home, talking loudly about family affairs.

Without regard to whom she was speaking, or whether they were acquainted, she launched into a conversation.

“The successor is my daughter Shao Yunxuan!

It was Mr.

Chu Kong who personally reached out to us, insisting on taking my daughter as his disciple.

Originally, Yunxuan was going to apply for arts college this year, but she postponed it for Mr.

Chu’s sake.”

Shao’s mother boasted unabashedly about her daughter.

“Mr.

Chu Kong even booked plane tickets and a room at Yangfan Hotel for the two of us.

We thought it was kind of Mr.

Chu, so we agreed…”

Xu Huaiyin watched as if amused, leaning back comfortably in his plush chair, listening with interest.

Kunyang, however, furrowed his brow and, out of politeness, nodded his head.

He then took out his phone, pretending to be busy to avoid further conversation with Shao’s mother.

Jia Fangqin, as if she hadn’t spoken enough, settled back into her seat, swaying from side to side.

She noticed a well-dressed lady next to her who looked about her age and had very well-maintained skin.

Still riding her wave of excitement, she reached over and grabbed the lady’s arm, “You’re here to listen to my daughter’s concert too, aren’t you!”

“Your daughter?”

Qi Zhen had also just arrived and was settling into her seat when she was abruptly tugged on, leaving her quite bewildered.

“Yes, my daughter Shao Yunxuan, the one and only heir of Master Chu Kong!

The announcement was made today!”

Qi Zhen glanced at the plump woman beside him who was flushed with excitement and chatting eagerly and weakly nodded, “Congratulations to you then.”

Out of kindness, she didn’t mention that she was here for Chu Kong.

She also deliberately lowered her voice as a subtle reminder to the other party to keep it down.

Jia Fangqin didn’t catch Qi Zhen’s subtle hint, and her chubby face trembled with excitement, “My daughter is indeed successful, she hasn’t wasted all those years of piano lessons…”

As she spoke, she saw a tall, gentle, and handsome young man slowly walking past Qi Zhen’s seat.

The young man lightly called out “Mom” to Qi Zhen.

“Oh my, this is your son!” Jia Fangqin stared at Xiao Qimo for a long time, straight and fixed.

Everyone who saw Xiao Qimo usually reacted this way, so it wasn’t surprising that Jia Fangqin was so captivated.

Xiao Qimo sat down expressionlessly, seating himself one place away from Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen glanced at her son’s handsome face, which seemed a bit gloomy, then looked back to see that there was no one else behind him, completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, Jia Fangqin turned to Qi Zhen again, “Your son looks pretty young too, he hasn’t married yet, has he?”

“Not yetaEUR”” Qi Zhen replied noncommittally, but before she could say more, Jia Fangqin slapped her arm abruptly, “It’s okay, I’ll leave you my daughter’s contact information.

It wouldn’t be bad for the young people to meet!”

“Thank you, but no need.”

“Hey, my daughter is very outstanding, and there are lots of people chasing after her!”

Just as Qi Zhen saw that the other woman was about to tear off a piece of paper with her telephone number on it, she quickly refused, “I’m sorry, but my son has a girlfriend, and they are getting engaged soon.”

When it came to telling lies, Qi Zhen was dead serious.

Even though nothing was official yet, there would certainly be such a day in the future!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qimo’s mood improved quite a bit, he sat up straighter, and his face didn’t look as sullen anymore.

Jia Fangqin was a bit reluctant as she retracted the paper, “Are you sure you don’t want it?”

“Thank you.”

From then on, Qi Zhen stopped talking to Jia Fangqin, turned her head, and started to converse quietly with Xiao Qimo, with an empty seat between them.

“I remember Mianmian plays the piano too, right?”

“…” Xiao Qimo’s gaze swept over her darkly, “Lu Mian plays the piano?

How do you know that?”

“What don’t I know…

I’ve seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears!

.co

Although I’m not a professional, I bet that the piece she played was absolutely up to par!

Otherwise, why would I bring Mianmian here to the concert?

She must be interested in it!”

The more Qi Zhen spoke, the darker Xiao Qimo’s expression became.

Qi Zhen didn’t understand, “What’s wrong?

Why the long face?

Where is Mianmian?”

It was a long while before the refined young man with a somber demeanor and an ashen face spoke up.

“I’ve never heard her play the piano!”

As he spoke, his beautiful fingers clenched the armrest of the chair tightly, his knuckles whitening with a look of unwilling acceptance.

“Oh snap!”

Qi Zhen suddenly laughed, as if she had received some special privilege, her face beaming with pride, “I have heard it!

It was beautiful!”

Xiao Qimo: …

Now, not only did he have to guard against men and women, but also against his own mother!
