The more Chang Yong thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply pulled Chang Li out of the corner and said, “Why didn’t you stop your mother from doing such a thing? Don’t you know that it’s illegal?”
Chang Li cried, “l can only listen to Mommy do this. There’s no other way.”
Chang Yong could not listen to any of this. He raised his leg and kicked Chang
Li. “Stop arguing. Hurry up and apologize to your Sister Gu Yun.”
Chang Li was protected by Zhang Juan at home and could be considered to have been raised in the palm of her hand. She had never suffered such grievances before. She said stubbornly, “l don’t want to go,”
Chang Yong glared and said, ‘You little brat, you don’t even listen to your father. You’re simply asking for a beating.”
Gu Lin couldn’t stand watching him hit the child anymore and said, “Alright, there’s no need to show off in front of me. Yunbao still has to continue the competition and doesn’t have time to care about you. Just leave this matter to the police.”
With that, she turned around and was about to leave when Chang Yong stopped her. “Young Master Gu, we can apologize or even kneel down, but don’t go to court, okay?”
Gu Lin sneered and said, “If you have the time to pester me here, why don’t you hurry up and apologize to the Miss of the Xie family? Your wife offended them quite badly backstage.”
Chang Yong was stunned. He did not expect the Xie family to be involved. Zhang Juan had offended two of the three aristocratic families at once. How could he survive?
He thought about it and said, “l must get a divorce!”
Gu Lin hurriedly left the police station and rushed to the event location. This was Yunbao’s first competition. He could not miss it.
When he arrived, Yunbao was about to go on stage. Gu Lin realized that the audience was filled with people from the Gu family. Even Gu Jia, who was usually very busy, was here.
“Aren’t you working today?” Gu Lin asked.
Gu Jia smiled. “It’s my turn to eat lunch and I took advantage of this opportunity to run over. I have to be there for Yunbao’s first competition.”
After the emcee announced the performance, Yunbao walked onto the stage. She was the youngest in the youth team. The judges were a little surprised that such a young child wanted to participate in the youth competition.
Yunbao sat on the piano stool after bowing. Ji Xing stood below the stage to cheer her on, looking even more nervous than she was.
Yunbao calmly began to play. She was clearly very good at playing at such a young age. Ji Xing felt that Yunbao performed better than when she was practicing.
The piano keys were as smooth as flowing water under her hand. There was no sense of powerlessness like a child playing the piano. If one closed their eyes, they would not be able to believe that this was a child playing. The judges finally understood why Yunbao was in the youth group. If she competed in the children’s group, she would be bullying them.
The style of the song that Ji Xing chose for Yunbao was very cheerful. It was not the cryptic sad style, so Yunbao played very emotionally. Her daily life was just so happy and lively. Everyone present was infected by Yunbao’s playing.
Xie Jing, who had already gone on stage to perform, said, “Sister Yunbao is really good at playing. Even I might not be able to play so well.”
Xie Huan said in surprise, “Didn’t you say that your level is invincible among your peers? Why are you admitting that someone plays better than you now?”
“I’m telling the truth. They indeed can’t compare to me.” Xie Jing looked at Yunbao and said, “If they were as good as Sister Yunbao, I wouldn’t have said that.”
Ever since Xie Jing learned how to play the piano a year ago, he knew that he was talented, so he inadvertently revealed his pride. This was because he had the confidence, but he was not arrogant. As long as he met someone who played better than him, he would sincerely praise them.
However, the children in these competitions were forced to play the piano. Not to mention love, they probably wished they could smash the piano. They were only forced to learn by their parents. It was undeniable that they would change in the future, but the tune they played now was really unpleasant.
Only Yunbao liked it from the bottom of her heart. The song was so moving under her performance.
After the performance ended, there was enthusiastic applause from the audience. The Gu family members stood up excitedly. Xiao Jing even had tears in his eyes. Gu Teng laughed him for still crying at his age.
Ji Xing also applauded Yunbao excitedly. He felt that it was a right choice to accept this disciple, she would definitely be able to stand at a higher place to perform in the future.
The judges also gave high marks in their notebooks. When the rankings were finally announced, first place was given to Yunbao. All the participants felt that it was well deserved..
