Chapter 358: Who Are You?
Yao Mengqing was not shy. She smiled generously. “Yes, I participated in an international competition three years ago and won the championship as expected.”
Qiao Xi hissed and whispered in Gu Zheng’s ear, “If I remember correctly, I participated in the same international violin competition three years ago.
“Back then, it was Fourth Brother who registered me, but my skills were not as good and I did not enter the finals. I didn’t pay attention to who was the final champion. So, Yao Mengqing was the champion that year?”
The person who brought this up continued, “May I have the honor of performing a song for you, Miss Yao?”
Qiao Xi glanced at that person indifferently. It was him… The musician, Zhao Qinghui. This person had always caused trouble for Fourth Brother.
Yao Mengqing smiled and was not shy at all. “I’m just the champion of one of the competitions. There’s nothing to brag about. If Old Master Li doesn’t mind, I’m willing to perform a song to celebrate his birthday. I wish the two of you health and happiness.”
Old Master Li smiled affectionately and agreed.
Yao Mengqing walked over and picked up the exquisite violin. Just as she was about to play—
Suddenly, Yao Mengqing raised her eyes to look at Qiao Xi and she said meaningfully, “Xi Xi, if I remember correctly, you participated in that violin competition as well. If my standard has dropped, don’t laugh at me, alright?”
Qiao Xi smiled calmly with a composed expression.
So, that was how it was. Yao Mengqing had lost her reputation at the auction, so she wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on her and let her have a taste of being mocked.
Yao Mengqing raised her head and placed the violin properly. She raised her arm elegantly, forming a beautiful angle. In order to perform, she even wore a dress that was suitable for playing the violin. Her beautiful figure was outlined, and it did not affect her performance.
Qiao Xi sat at the side and took a sip of red wine before looking at Yao Mengqing with interest.
If Yao Mengqing could become the champion, she must be extraordinary. It was a great thing for the Yao family to be able to make Old Master Li happy. Yao Mengqing could even take the opportunity to trample on Qiao Xi. It was killing two birds with one stone.
According to Yao Mengqing’s character, she would not have asked to perform. Someone had to recommend her. That person was Zhao Qinghui.
Qiao Xi looked at Zhao Qinghui. If she remembered correctly, he was the judge for the violin competition three years ago.
Yao Mengqing played a melodious and cheerful violin tune. This tune had high requirements for the performer, but she played very fluently, making everyone intoxicated in the tune.
Five minutes later, the last note sounded and there was thunderous applause.
“Awesome! The daughter of the Yao family is really talented and good-looking!”
“I didn’t expect Yao Mengqing to be so accomplished in music. I’m fascinated by her. If she can enter the music industry and develop her career there, she’ll definitely have some achievements!”
“It’s just that Miss Yao and Miss Qiao had a conflict. I’m afraid she won’t be able to enter the music industry anymore.”
Yao Mengqing was not dissatisfied at all and smiled elegantly. “Everyone, you’ve misunderstood. I’m very close to Xi Xi, so I won’t become enemies with her over a violin. I don’t think she’ll use Mr. Xue to deal with me either.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qinghui snorted. “Mengqing, some people are just jealous of you because you’re talented and good-looking. That’s why they keep targeting you. Don’t ruin your future because of outsiders’ comments.”
In an instant, everyone present could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at Zhao Qinghui, then at Qiao Xi. They were clearly aware in their hearts that the person Zhao Qinghui was talking about was Qiao Xi, and there was no doubt about this.
Yao Mengqing was in a dilemma. “Mr. Zhao, don’t say that…”
“What can’t I say?” Zhao Qinghui looked at Qiao Xi and asked sarcastically, “Miss Qiao, what do you think?”
Qiao Xi put down the cup in her hand and slowly raised her eyes to meet Zhao Qinghui’s eyes.
Zhao Qinghui said disdainfully, “Why aren’t you commenting on Mengqing’s performance today? Isn’t it very exciting? I wonder if you can play this song with your skills?”
The air seemed to have frozen over.
After a while, Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and said word after word like a bolt from the blue, “May I know who you are?”
!!!
Zhao Qinghui’s expression froze..
