Eliza felt relieved when she heard her father's words.
Idris patted Elisa on the shoulder and said, "Relax, the championship will be yours." After that, Idris left the backstage and went to the audience seats in front.
Idris bumped into a tall man in the hallway and politely nodded in greeting. Han Zhan stopped and looked at Idris's back with a cold gaze.
Eliza sat for a while, and then she saw the empty chair next to her being lifted by a slender and powerful hand, and then the stool was put down next to Eliza.
A tall and straight man sat down on the stool.
This person's presence was too strong for Eliza to ignore.
She turned around and gave the man a scrutinizing look.
What comes into view is a handsome face with deep contours and delicate features. His gray-blue eyes gaze gently at the Song Dynasty porcelain on the stage with deep affection, which makes one's heart beat faster.
Eliza recognized Han Zhan's identity.
Isn’t this Song Ci’s husband?
Elisa noticed that Han Zhan was sitting a little close to her. She was moved and took the initiative to greet Han Zhan: "Hello, Mr. Han." Elisa knew that Han Zhan was the boss of Zeus International and a real business tycoon. It was always good to make her familiar to him.
Han Zhan turned his head when he heard her voice.
Han Zhan stared at Eliza, his captivating gray-blue eyes gleaming with allure. He nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Eliza."
Eliza stared at Song Ci on the stage and praised her hypocritically, "Mr. Han, your wife is very beautiful."
Han Zhan crossed his legs, as if thinking that Eliza's praise was not accurate enough, and added: "It is also excellent."
Eliza's smile was a little uncomfortable. She was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Han Zhan next, but she heard Han Zhan ask, "Elisa, do you know why I'm sitting so close to you?"
When Eliza heard this question, all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind.
Why?
Is it because he has a crush on me and wants to chat me up, or does he think I'm incredibly talented and want to be my friend?
Eliza couldn't figure out Han Zhan's thoughts. She smiled elegantly and replied dignifiedly, "Forgive my ignorance, but I really can't think of a reason. Mr. Han, you might as well tell me directly."
Han Zhanpian tilted his head and looked towards Eliza.
Being stared at seriously and attentively by his blue eyes, Eliza could clearly hear the thunderous and uncontrollable heartbeat.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the violin case, straightened her back, and adjusted her posture to the best state.
Han Zhan moved closer to Eliza little by little, and their cheeks were so close that if either of them leaned forward a little, they could touch the other's face.
Eliza thought Han Zhan was going to kiss her.
She felt excited and proud. She thought to herself: Song Ci, you are performing on the stage with a big belly, while your husband is flirting with me offstage. You are such a failure!
Eliza thought so in her heart, and a charming smile appeared on her face, "Mr. Han, what are you doing so close to me?"
Han Zhan's lips curled up into a smile. He spoke in a light voice, each word clearly, "If I don't get closer to you, how can I kill you in the first place?"
Han Zhan spoke in English, and when he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "Kill", which was full of bloody meaning.
The charming atmosphere was shattered by Han Zhan's words, and now the air was filled with dangerous factors.
Eliza was stunned for a moment, noticing that Han Zhan's gaze had instantly changed from calm to fierce. She was terrified. "Mr. Han, what do you mean by that?" Her voice trembled unconsciously.
Han Zhan pointed at Song Ci on the stage with a smile and told Eliza, "If anything happens to my wife, you won't be able to walk out of this concert hall with your head held high today!"
Eliza's eyelids twitched wildly. She swallowed fearfully and pretended to be innocent. She pretended to be dumb and asked Han Zhan, "What is Mr. Han talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Han Zhan started to mock, "Ms. Teren is not only a good pianist, but also a good actress."
Eliza's heart was pounding, and she wasn't sure what Han Zhan meant by that.
What did he know?
Eliza stared at Song Ci on the stage. At this moment, Song Ci's performance had entered a passionate stage. The entire orchestra was accompanying her. She was standing at the lower left side of the stage and was the focus of the audience.
When she plucked the strings, her long skirt swayed, as if the Milky Way had descended to the earth.
No one knew that at this moment, Song Ci's abdomen was in a state of pain, with contractions one after another. Song Ci couldn't help but frown secretly. Her frown was seen by the judges and the audience as a sign of her complete emotional investment in the performance.
Finally, the grand ensemble ended.
Song Ci and all the other musicians in the orchestra stood up and saluted the judges and the audience. Then, the staff quickly walked onto the stage and removed all the instruments, leaving only a grand piano.
Song Ci subconsciously touched her belly, then smiled and looked towards the waiting area, patiently waiting for Coleman to appear. Seeing Song Ci staring at the waiting area, as if waiting for someone, all the judges and audience members looked towards the waiting area curiously.
They saw a staff member in a black suit, leading an old man with slightly gray hair, slowly walking up the stairs to the stage.
The old man was wearing a white custom-made suit and a pair of black sunglasses. His slightly gray hair was styled into a gentleman's slicked back hairstyle with hairspray.
A slicked-back hair and a white suit are the signature look of the world's top pianist, Kleinmann!
Whether it was the audience or the judges, everyone at the event was a music lover. In this world, there was hardly anyone who truly loved music who didn't know the top pianist, Klemann!
Suddenly someone couldn't help but exclaimed——
"Oh my God, it's Coleman!"
"Isn't Coleman ill and unable to see or hear?"
"Cherry actually invited Coleman to accompany her!"
At this moment, not only the audience was stunned, but even the big guys sitting in the judges' seats showed shocked expressions. Shen Yubei looked at Song Ci with a bit of pride.
As expected of her apprentice, she even invited Coleman!
only...
Thinking of Coleman's current physical condition, Shen Yubei became worried about Coleman's physical condition. Can he successfully complete this performance?
