Gu Momo knew he had misunderstood and was so anxious that she didn't know how to explain. Lin Wei, on the other hand, didn't care about Li Zhanting's feelings at all. His mind was full of the image of Li Zhanting protecting his wife so domineeringly. He was so handsome!

How could such a handsome man only like women?

"I have something to tell you!" To avoid the two of them actually arguing later, Gu Momo took Li Zhanting's hand and pulled him towards the backstage dressing room.

After Lin Wei learned about their relationship, he very sensibly did not go with them.

The two had barely made it through the crowd when they were blocked by several socialites.

One of the women stood at the front, wearing a Chanel dress. She was probably the leader of the small group, but Gu Momo didn't recognize them.

"Miss Gu, the piece you just played was so beautiful. Was it a theme song from a movie? What was it called again? I've just forgotten."

"You, my younger self," Gu Momo replied simply, then prepared to continue walking forward.

But the two friends behind the socialite stepped forward at the same time and blocked her way.

Li Zhanting immediately stepped forward and shielded her behind him.

Chu Yuan'ai's gaze fell on Li Zhanting, her eyes instantly captivated by the man's charm, and her heart pounded.

Her elegant smile immediately became somewhat affected, and her smile became even more coy.

Is this Mr. Ting? Although I've seen Mr. Ting countless times in the media, this is the first time I've been so close to him!

Chu Yuan's exquisite makeup was full of smiles, and her eyes were fixed on Li Zhanting, unable to look away!

Gu Momo tugged at his hand, indicating that he could handle it himself, then stepped forward: "Is there anything else, Miss?"

Chu Yuan'ai seemed to suddenly come to her senses and quickly put on a smile as she said to Gu Momo, "Actually, it's nothing. I just think Miss Gu's playing technique is so ingenious and unparalleled. I also really like this piece. I heard that this version originally didn't have a piano score. It seems to have been a secondary creation by an unknown piano enthusiast. Miss Gu, did you learn from him? I really admire you!"

On the surface, this woman was praising Gu Momo, but in reality, she was subtly criticizing her for plagiarizing the work of an ordinary piano enthusiast and using it at such a grand concert.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to praise her a couple more times, truly embodying the term "green tea" to the extreme!

Sure enough, some onlookers followed her words and searched on Baidu, discovering that the piece Gu Momo played had indeed been re-created.

Gu Momo's reputation had long been renowned in the capital, but wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue, especially these socialites who were originally in high positions but are now being trampled underfoot by Gu Momo, who are even more eager to see Gu Momo make a fool of herself.

"Look, this is what they say online. This piece was published in simplified notation a few years ago. I just listened to it, and it's different from the version played by this Ms. Gu."

"That's normal, isn't it? Every pianist has a different understanding of the score, and they may add their own elements."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's just copying the model but not doing it right!"

Hearing the whispers around her, Chu Yuan'ai secretly rejoiced, then added fuel to the fire:

"It's already quite good for Miss Gu to perform such a piece as a special guest for the first time. I really admire her! As Mr. Ting's partner, Miss Gu works so hard to please him. It's something we socialites can't learn."

She praised Gu Momo at every turn, but her words implied that Gu Momo was doing it to please Li Zhanting, and that Gu Momo's status was equivalent to those who fawned over Li Zhanting.

They didn't consider Gu Momo to be someone who could fight alongside Li Zhanting at all!

Gu Momo's lips curled into a cold smile. Before she could say anything, Li Zhanting spoke first: "You should also admire him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the socialite looked at him, bewildered and full of surprise.

Li Zhanting's deep eyes narrowed, revealing a playful glint, and an invisible chill emanated from him.

"The earliest sheet music for this piece came from Momo. There were short videos she uploaded on an unknown website. You brought these up under the guise of praising her, just to accuse Momo of plagiarism and to belittle her status? To imply that Momo is like those women who rise to power by selling their bodies?"

As he spoke, Li Zhanting's cold eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a chilling light, and his voice was as cold as an ice pick:

"It seems this young lady is quite adept at playing the green tea trick! But unfortunately, Momo is fundamentally different from you women who only care about playing tricks. She is someone who truly established herself in the capital through her own efforts. If you think you can eliminate a powerful person with just a few words, you are truly delusional!"

Chu Yuan'ai was so frightened by the cold and stern voice that her heart skipped a beat, and she almost burst into tears!

She simply disliked Gu Momo and took the opportunity to subtly criticize her.

But who would have thought that Master Ting would say such serious things!

The next moment, Li Zhanting's destructive gaze swept over Chu Yuan'ai: "Music is about self-cultivation, not about training a bunch of scheming, manipulative women who only know how to fight for fame and fortune! Miss, I regret to inform you that you have lost the right to remain at the concert!"

"Guards! Drag her out immediately!"

Li Zhanting spoke righteously and sternly, then waved his hand, and several bodyguards rushed up from behind Chu Yuan'ai, quickly lifting her up.
