"Okay, okay, I won't ask then."
Her mother listened to her daughter and had a very positive attitude towards Wang Qingge.
Her expression held a hint of expectation, but what that expectation was was unclear.
"Mom, now that Wang Qingge is here, let's go."
"Well, it's time to go, otherwise we'll be late."
And so, Wang Qingge got into the car with the mother and daughter. He sat in the back seat, Han Zhixuan drove, and her mother sat in the passenger seat.
Along the way, Han Zhixuan's mother was incredibly hospitable. She was worried that Wang Qingge might be thirsty, so she handed him a bottle of water.
"Qingge, have a bottle of water."
"Aunt Zhang, no need, I'm not thirsty."
Wang Qingge was a little unaccustomed to the enthusiasm of Han Zhixuan's mother.
"It's alright, take it! You're so polite with Aunt Zhang, kid.
Han Zhixuan's mother pretended to be angry, which made Wang Qingge unsure of what to do, so she had no choice but to take the water from her.
Seeing this, she continued chatting casually.
"Qingge, where are you from?"
"Well, I guess I'd say I'm from Jiangcheng."
Wang Qingge didn't really know where his family was from, because he had been abandoned when he was a child, so he could only be considered to be from the family that adopted him.
"Local! That's a coincidence." Han Zhixuan's mother was quite pleased.
"By the way, which school did you graduate from?"
"Aunt Zhang, I graduated from Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music."
"Oh, so it's Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music. You must have learned piano there too, right?"
After learning that Wang Qingge graduated from Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, Zhang Ruping continued to ask questions.
"Well, I guess so."
He was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to answer, because he hadn't studied anything at all when he was in school.
"Hehe!" Zhang Ruping chuckled.
"Qingge, it was a bit abrupt of us to call you here so suddenly today. We hope we didn't scare you."
Zhang Ruping felt a little apologetic.
"It's nothing, Aunt Zhang, what are you saying? How could you scare me! I'm so glad you called me over."
Wang Qingge wasn't making this up; he was genuinely grateful to Zhang Ruping and her daughter Han Zhixuan for inviting him.
Otherwise, where would he find an opportunity to play the songs released by the system?
Therefore, Wang Qingge is so grateful to them for what happened today, how could she possibly blame them?
Seeing this, Zhang Ruping turned back and continued speaking to Wang Qingge.
"However, Qingge, Aunt Zhang still thinks it's necessary to talk to you about this matter beforehand."
"Yes, Aunt Zhang, just tell me what you need. I'll listen carefully."
"Yes, that's right. Today's gathering is hosted by some musicians from our high society."
"The purpose is, of course, to facilitate everyone's exchange of musical knowledge and skill levels."
"I heard from Xuanxuan that you play the piano quite well! So I thought I'd invite you over too."
"We apologize for not informing you beforehand; this was indeed abrupt on our part."
"Aunt Zhang is fine, I already told you it's nothing."
"Mmm!" Zhang Ruping nodded in satisfaction again.
"But don't worry, Qingge, this gathering isn't just for the group of us."
"Of course, there will also be some young people, rising stars like you and Xuanxuan, who will participate."
"You can share what you've learned with them later."
"This is a great opportunity; many people want to go, but they can't."
Hearing Zhang Ruping say that, Wang Qingge suddenly felt incredibly grateful.
Because they treated her like family, Wang Qingge was genuinely happy at that moment.
He just didn't know that the other person had a purpose in doing this.
Don't be fooled by Han Zhixuan's mother's smiling face towards him; she actually has her own agenda.
Zhang Ruping simply couldn't believe what her daughter was saying—that the Piano No. 5 of the Night was composed by the person standing right in front of her.
Because, apart from being good-looking, she couldn't tell that the person in front of her had any real musical talent.
So when Zhang Ruping saw Wang Qingge again, she became even more certain that the Nocturne No. 5 was not his own composition, but something he had copied from someone else.
In Zhang Ruping's view, there was nothing wrong with him copying others, as long as Wang Qingge boldly admitted it and didn't lie to her daughter.
Don't lie to Han Zhixuan and say that it was his creation, then there's no big problem.
But Wang Qingge insisted on telling Han Zhixuan that it was a piece he had composed. How could Zhang Ruping possibly tolerate that?
Don't let Zhang Ruping's current kind and approachable demeanor fool you; if anyone dares to bully or deceive her daughter, she will absolutely not let that person get away with it.
Unfortunately, that's exactly how Wang Qingge is seen by her now.
In Zhang Ruping's eyes, Wang Qingge was the one who deceived Han Zhixuan.
He shouldn't have lied to Han Zhixuan; that piano piece No. 5 of the Night was his composition.
This is something that she finds really hard to accept, even unacceptable.
That's why she had to invite Wang Qingge today, just to bring him to the party.
There will be plenty of ways and opportunities to expose his true colors, making it impossible for him to escape.
Didn't they say that he composed the Nocturne No. 5, a masterpiece that has astonished the world?
That's great! We'll let him show off his skills in front of everyone later.
Zhang Ruping simply refused to believe it; she was determined to expose the ugly face of the person who dared to deceive her daughter.
...
Wang Qingge was completely unaware of Zhang Ruping's thoughts.
He was far more than just unaware of the situation; he was extremely grateful to them.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Wang Qingge, after all, Zhang Ruping's performance was truly outstanding.
She cares so much about Wang Qingge, and they act like old friends as soon as they meet. Anyone would be happy to see that.
But these are precisely the methods used by people like Zhang Ruping, subtly leading people into their traps.
It's the kind of scheme where you sell someone out, and the person even helps you count the money.
Han Zhixuan, the only one who knew the truth, chose to remain silent.
Actually, Han Zhixuan didn't want things to be like this either; she just wanted her mother to believe everything.
She wanted to convince her mother of her words and her abilities.
The first thing to do is to do things her way, otherwise she won't believe any of it.
Therefore, Han Zhixuan chose to remain silent for the time being.
However, she wouldn't just ignore everything like that.
If her mother goes too far, she will also stand up to stop her.
She wouldn't just stand by and watch Wang Qingge be bullied.
