Chapter 536: Chapter 535 Taking Advantage of the Fire?

Shao Yunxuan wouldn’t listen.

“How could I explain?

My words carry little weight, how could I compete with the esteemed Xiao Family daughter-in-law!

They clearly came prepared, and although you’re the Shen Family’s esteemed daughter, you could have helped me by saying just a word out there, and it wouldn’t have turned into this mess.

Or is it that you really don’t want me to become the master’s disciple…”

Shen Yixin frowned deeply, her gentle face cooling down.

“Yunxuan, I have never had such thoughts.

I’m just telling you that the bell ringer must untie the bell, only you can prove your innocence!”

Shao Yunxuan pouted, too angry to speak.

It was Ya Ling by her side who, with a cool and dashing flip of her long curly hair and a hand resting on Shen Yixin’s shoulder, laughed.

“Maybe, some people are simply not innocent,” Ya Ling naturally heard the piece that Lu Mian played.

Following Lu Mian for these years, she knew of her many talents.

Yet she didn’t know that she could also play the piano so well; she was truly amazed just now.

Based on her understanding of Lu Mian, that girl was so lazy, yet she stood up just now, which really said something.

Shao Yunxuan glared at Ya Ling, and after a moment of panic, she uttered indignantly, “Sorry, this is our own business, it has nothing to do with you.”

After saying this, she charged past Shen Yixin angrily, “I’m going to find the master!”

Shen Yixin stumbled, but thankfully Ya Ling was there to catch her from behind, preventing her from hitting the wall.

Shen Yixin followed behind Shao Yunxuan, “Yunxuan, now is not the time to be headstrong, the audience is still waiting outside!

This is a concert, not playing house!”

Ya Ling saw that the situation was not good, pulled out her phone, and while chasing after Shen Yixin, she sent a text message for help to Lu Mian.

But Shao Yunxuan was not paying any attention to this and went straight to Chu Kong’s dressing room.

She didn’t know where the anger came from, but she sat down in a chair, starting to feel wronged.

“Mr.

Chu, when I agreed to come to Jinjing, it was not to be mistreated.

If you truly have no intention of taking me as your disciple, then I might as well leave now!

I would rather go back to being my ordinary high school art student than be falsely accused like this!”

At this point, she could only insist to her last breath that she was the original creator.

She was aware of Chu Kong’s taboo, as Mei Qin had informed her before: one must never cheat or fake.

If she could get through this concert, her path forward would be set, she could not afford to lose.

So what if Lu Mian played better than her, she didn’t believe Lu Mian knew who the real creator was.

There was no way things could be such a coincidence!

Actually, Mei Qin had synchronized the video from the stage to the dressing room just before.

Chu Kong and he knew very well what had happened earlier.

However, at this moment, Chu Kong had no interest in dealing with Shao Yunxuan; watching Lu Mian play that climactic piece had completely stunned him.

BecauseaEUR”

He had finally found the feeling he felt when he listened to that piece in Kunpeng School’s art building!

Shocking!

Fluent!

Stunning!

These sensations, he had never felt in Shao Yunxuan’s music, to the point that he still hadn’t come back to his senses.

After Shao Yunxuan said all this, her mother, Jia Fangqin, also followed.

Upon arriving in the dressing room, she began to stomp and shout.

“Master Chu ah, my daughter and I have traveled a long distance to get here, but what’s the situation now?

You don’t say a word, just let those people bully Yunxuan.

How is our Yunxuan supposed to continue in this industry?”

Her whining voice was irrationally annoying and grating to the ear.

Shen Yixin offered a word of comfort.

“Yunxuan, Auntie, please calm down.

We can talk about our problems later; right now, the most important thing is to get through the concert.

We cannot neglect the audience.”

Mei Qin nodded in agreement beside her, “Ms.

Shen is right, but Mr.

Chu’s current condition is still not good enough…”

“Then…” Shen Yixin looked at Shao Yunxuan with exhaustion in her eyes.

Shao Yunxuan turned her head away.

On the other hand, Jia Fangqin seemed to have caught an opportunity and stepped forward to pull her daughter along, “Yunxuan, let’s go, we shouldn’t stay here and be subjected to this!”

Shao Yunxuan understood her mother’s meaning well, as she had the same intention.

“Mr.

Chu, Sister Yixin, I think you probably don’t need me, so I’ll just leave.”

This behavior of mother and daughter was like haggling over clothes at a street market, waiting for the vendor to ask them to stay after making their offer.

Shao Yunxuan was very clear in her mind that, given the situation where Chu Kong was unable to perform and Shen Yixin only had the use of one hand, their only hope still depended on her.

“Yunxuan, why are you leaving at this time?” Shen Yixin also started to get heated.

“I can only prove my innocence by leaving, sister Yixin, don’t you also want to perform?

Maybe if you go on stage, you will play even better than me…”

Shen Yixin’s face turned ghastly pale.

“Yunxuan, you…” Taking advantage of someone’s misfortune.

What is this?

Just quitting like that?

In such a situation, with so many fans who had come specifically for the performance as well as many people from the industry, and with her teacher unable to perform, and herself unable to support the show single-handedly, was Shao Yunxuan being so capricious to just leave?

Mei Qin found it difficult to watch, “Ms.

Shao, Mr.

Chu and Ms.

Shen both see you as the continuation of their musical dreams, placing all their hopes on you.

By leaving like this, are you living up to their trust and help?”

Jia Fangqin shook her plump body, “If you don’t want my daughter to leave, then come forward and clear her name!

Don’t let my daughter be bullied by Lu Mian!”

“Mrs.

Shao, that’s two different issues!”

“I don’t understand all that, but I just can’t stand to see my daughter bullied by Lu Mian!

Just because someone is good at playing, they can accuse my daughter of not being original?

Does she know how hard my daughter has been practicing lately?!”

As Jia Fangqin was saying this, she made a move to leave with her daughter.

Shao Yunxuan cast a despondently disappointed look at Chu Kong and followed her mother’s footsteps.

UntilaEUR”

As they opened the door, they saw a slender, tall figure.

The figure, with arms crossed, leaned casually against the door.

On seeing Shao Yunxuan, a cold, mocking smile curled upon their lips.

“Yo, the master of originality!”

Lu Mian spoke with an irreverent tone, his gaze breezy and tinged with a cool, thin smile as he took a look at Shao Yunxuan.

Shao Yunxuan and Jia Fangqin both shuddered at the same time.

Ya Ling knew that Lu Mian had arrived the second she heard that challenging voice.

She had texted her brother, hoping he would come to save the situation.

She’d thought the message had gone unanswered, into a void, but here he was.

“Brother Mian!”

Lu Mian brushed past Shao Yunxuan’s shoulder, entering the dressing room, while Ya Ling clung to him like a little woman.

Shen Yixin opened her mouth in surprise, not expecting these two to know each other.

Only at this moment did Chu Kong finally react, staring at Lu Mian intently with a mixture of emotions.
