Chapter 537: Chapter 536: On Stage Again!

Ya Ling rested her chin on Lu Mian’s shoulder.

“Bro Mian, Miss Shao insists on leaving.

With her gone, no one will be left to support the event.

This is my favorite piano master’s concert.

Please think of something…”

Her voice could not have been more tender.

Shen Yixin’s eyes widened in shock.

Lu Mian touched her forehead helplessly, “Stop it.”

Immediately, Ya Ling straightened up, “Bro Mian, everyone is waiting.

What should we do?”

Lu Mian probably knew what was going on, glancing at the door where Shao Yunxuan and her mother stood, he smiled faintly, “Miss Shao, Mrs.

Shao, you can’t leave yet.”

When Jia Fangqin heard this, she straightened her back even more.

“You can keep us here, but you have to go on stage and clarify that the piece was originally composed by my daughter!” Jia Fangqin paused, “We’re not unreasonable people.

As long as things are made clear, my daughter will continue to perform, and the concert can go on.”

Shao Yunxuan wanted to echo a few words, but when Lu Mian stared at her, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Lu Mian looked at Shao Yunxuan, smiling coolly, “I’m sorry, you’ve misunderstood.

The reason we’re asking you to stay isn’t to get Miss Yunxuan on stage.”

“Oh, what do you mean?

Without my daughter on stage, can Master Chu do it?

Can Miss Shen do it?” Jia Fangqin scoffed, “Since when did Master Chu’s personal matters become your business, an outsider?”

Indeed, Lu Mian was an outsider.

But ever since she arrived, not only did Ya Ling feel at ease, but Shen Yixin also inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

Some people have that effect; no matter how bad the situation, as soon as they step in, it brings a profound sense of security and peace of mind.

Lu Mian was one of those people.

Jia Fangqin, while speaking, suddenly had a realization, “Could it be that you want to go on stage?

Now I see, you really know how to make the most of a crisis!”

After saying this, she stopped talking to Lu Mian and turned to Chu Kong instead.

“Master Chu, give us a straight answer, please.

It was at your invitation that we came here, you initially admired my daughter’s talent.

Now that she has performed, you can’t just cast her aside!”

The people in the resting room were speechless.

It was as if they had the final say in everything, demanding to leave initially and likewise demanding an explanation, truly unreasonable.

Chu Kong looked at Lu Mian, his hands twitching nervously, not knowing where to put them.

He didn’t even look at Shao Yunxuan but echoed the words Lu Mian had said earlier.

“Right, you two can’t leave.”

Shao Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Fangqin also smiled, “That’s more like it, Master Chu!

Yunxuan, why don’t you get ready for the next piece?

We can clarify this matter after the concert is over.”

“Mhm.”

Chu Kong’s hands trembled as he lifted them, “Not necessary.”

The mother and daughter were startled.

“Mei Qin, take these two back to the resting room.

I’ll call for them in a bit.”

Mei Qin’s eyes lit up, understanding that Mr.

Chu intended to have her keep a watchful eye on Shao Yunxuan and her mother.

It seemed Mr.

Chu was determined to get to the bottom of this.

Mei Qin immediately made a welcoming gesture.

Shao Yunxuan and Jia Fangqin, though somewhat confused and thinking they might just need a break, didn’t dwell on it and followed Mei Qin.

Only Chu Kong, Lu Mian, Shen Yixin, and Ya Ling were left in the resting room.

Lu Mian was brief and to the point, wasting no words.

“Miss Shen, do you still want to perform?”

“Me?” Shen Yixin instinctively glanced at her left hand, “I probably can’t…”

After being criticized by Shao Yunxuan a few times, her scant self-confidence had long been shattered.

Ya Ling tenderly patted Shen Yixin’s shoulder.

Lu Mian seemed unconcerned, “Since it’s your master’s concert, it’s only right for you to represent him on stage.”

Chu Kong wanted to say something but held it back.

Lu Mian took off the blazer again and handed it to Ya Ling.

“Let’s go.” Leaving behind those words, she was the first to exit the resting room.

Shen Yixin hadn’t even processed what was happening when Ya Ling hurriedly urged her, “Xinxin, hurry, everything is under control with my Bro Mian!”

“This…” Shen Yixin followed Lu Mian, hesitant and unsure.

Chu Kong stammered, “IaEUR”I still haven’t finished speaking…”

aEUR”aEUR”

Lu Mian walked ahead while making a phone call to Xiao Qimo.

“Director Qimo, could you do me a small favor~~”

Xiao Qimo finally felt his presence acknowledged, “Go ahead.”

After receiving a few instructions from Lu Mian, Xiao Qimo agreed without hesitation.

Shen Yixin caught up from behind, “Miss Lu, if it’s stage management, you can tell me directly, there’s no need to trouble Mr.

Xiao…”

She felt it was somewhat embarrassing, and a bit wasteful.

However, Lu Mian, taking her time, slipped her phone into her pocket and turned with a smile.

“This way, he feels involved.”

Shen Yixin, mouth agape, slowed her pace by a beat.

Just recently, this girl was naive, clueless about love, so how did she start doling out couple’s affection so quickly?

Shen Yixin digested it helplessly before catching up with Lu Mian’s steps.

“Miss Lu, what should I do?”

“You play with your right hand, I’ll play with my left, and we’ll perform together.”

“This…” Shen Yixin shook her head, “I’m worried…”

She had practiced with her right hand before and playing the piece wasn’t a problem.

What worried her was Lu Mian because the left hand would be more challenging.

If it wasn’t professionally trained, it might be hard to control properly.

And wasn’t her left hand injured?

These questions lodged in her throat, but Shen Yixin only managed to voice one, “Why?”

“I don’t want Ya Ling to be unhappy.”

Shen Yixin: …

“Which composer do you like?” asked Lu Mian, rolling up her sleeves as they reached backstage, about to go on stage.

Shen Yixin didn’t have much confidence; this was her first time facing such a situation.

They were one step from going on stage, and only then did they discuss what piece to play.

It seemed far-fetched.

“Mi Lu!” Shen Yixin quickly responded.

Lu Mian’s graceful fingers, which were rolling up her sleeves, paused slightly, and her gaze swept subtly over Shen Yixin, “Him, huh…”

“If not, we can change…”

“We’ll go with him.”

As soon as Lu Mian finished speaking, she stepped onto the stage first.

Shen Yixin immediately followed.

At that moment, under Xiao Qimo’s direction, the heavy stage curtains were drawn.

The piano stool had also been switched from single to double seating.

.co

Lu Mian sat on the inside, Shen Yixin on the outside.

When the curtains gradually opened, the audience didn’t see the two of them but instead saw a layer of thin, white gauze-like curtain.

The curtain veiled the stage, and through the hazy view, the audience could only see Shen Yixin sitting on the outside.

“It’s Miss Shen!”

“Miss Shen has taken the stage!”

“Wasn’t Miss Shen’s left hand injured?”

The audience’s confusion echoed one after another.

Lu Mian on stage turned to look at Shen Yixin, “Are you ready?”

Shen Yixin nodded, her emotions tumultuous, her fingertips quivering slightly.

But seeing Lu Mian’s calm expression, she too relaxed.

The right hand descended.

Smooth music began to play, and quiet was restored in the small theater.
