Zhang Hong's eyes lit up; the girl was young, beautiful, and energetic—a truly stunning figure. But her admiration was fleeting. She looked at Feng Hanjin with a questioning gaze, as if inquiring about the identities of the two girls opposite her.
Feng Hanjin said, "They are my mother's fans and came to Liaocheng specifically to listen to the concert. And coincidentally, they attend the same school as Yu Wan."
Zhang Hong was taken aback. Having been by Xiao Ling's side for ten years, she knew everything about Xiao Ling's life. Having seen all sorts of people, she never believed in coincidences. But the girl before her had bright, clear eyes without any impurities. Perhaps she was overthinking it?
"You really can play the violin?" A gentle female voice suddenly came from behind.
Everyone looked up and saw a woman in a champagne-colored dress standing by the door. The woman was beautiful and gentle, with firm skin, a well-proportioned figure, and an elegant and noble demeanor; she didn't look like someone in her forties at all.
“E…Ellen!” Wang Minlin screamed.
Although the sound was a bit harsh, seeing her ecstatic expression, everyone's slight discomfort subsided. Well, another Ellen fan; they'd seen it all before.
“Mom…” Feng Hanjin stepped forward and snuggled affectionately into her arms, saying, “Mom looks so beautiful today, like a fairy descended from heaven.”
Xiao Ling smiled gently and affectionately pinched the tip of her nose: "You have the sweetest tongue."
She looked up at Ji Yun Chu again: "Play a section."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yun Chu blushed with excitement, clenched her fists slightly, and nodded.
The assistant quickly brought over a violin and handed it to Ji Yun Chu.
Ji Yun Chu took a deep breath and calmly began playing "The Butterfly Lovers." She had practiced this piece countless times and was certain she wouldn't make a mistake.
As she listened to the melody, Xiao Ling's thoughts drifted, as if she were lost in some memories.
Until a very long time after it ended...
"You're the one."
Xiao Ling immediately agreed.
Ji Yun Chu was overjoyed, her body trembling slightly as she bowed deeply, saying, "I will definitely not let you down." She had already foreseen that the concert would generate a strong response after it ended.
Another room.
Zhang Hong said with dissatisfaction, "Ellen, I don't care what you do normally, but can't you discuss such a big decision with me? That girl is pretty and plays well, but she is definitely not qualified to share the stage with you. The violinist I contacted is on his way. After he arrives, you can practice with him once and then go on stage to perform."
"No need, let's just go with that girl named Ji Yun Chu." Xiao Ling rubbed her throbbing temples, refusing to budge.
Zhang Hong looked at her strangely, hesitated several times before finally saying, "Is it because she and Yu Wan are classmates that you..."
Xiao Ling paused for a moment, then remained silent.
Zhang Hong sat down on the sofa dejectedly. After a long while, she said in frustration, "Whatever."

Early the next morning.
Yu Wan was awakened by a loud banging on the door.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and opened the door with a sullen face: "What's wrong?"
Meng Shen shuddered and subconsciously took a dozen steps back, asking timidly, "I've heard that Liaocheng Happy Valley is pretty good. Isn't your family planning to build a film and television city? Do you want to go and check it out?"
It's utterly baffling.
Yu Wan's anger subsided by half in an instant. She leaned casually against the door, crossed her arms, and raised her chin: "What happened? Tell me."
This guy knows she's grumpy in the morning, yet he still dares to bang on her door. He must be hiding something from her!
Meng Shen chuckled awkwardly: "Would you believe me if I said I was just having a childlike moment?"
After a while.
Yu Wan scrolled through her phone, slowly scrolling down the comments, her expression indifferent, her eyes lowered as if she were lost in thought.
This time, the trending topics have nothing to do with her; they're all about that innocent little white lotus from the Ji family.
#Ellen Xiao praised: A bright future awaits#
#Elegant Violin Princess Ji Yun Chu#
#The Butterfly Lovers is so beautiful it's like my ears are pregnant#
Ji Yun Chu's million fans were not just for show; they were incredibly powerful, with comments overwhelmingly praising her stunning beauty and violin skills. This quickly garnered her a wave of goodwill from casual viewers, and her fan base grew by another million overnight.
Of course, this is nothing. Xiao Ling personally pushed Ji Yun Chu into the spotlight, and many masters in the violin circle noticed this rising star.
Yu Wan exited Weibo expressionlessly, placed her phone on the sofa, ignoring the subtle pang of sadness in her heart. A slight smile played on her lips as she lazily propped her chin on her hand, raising an eyebrow as she asked, "Just for something this trivial, you didn't sleep in this morning and came all the way here to bang on my door?"
Meng Shen carefully observed Yu Wan's expression. He often couldn't understand her thoughts, like now. He leaned back, clutching a cushion to his chest: "I was just afraid you'd be upset if you saw this. We finally taught that Pei Feng a lesson, but it all went to Ji Yun Chu's benefit."
Yu Wan remained expressionless: "...So you came here specifically to comfort me?"
Meng Shen nodded.
One minute later.
Meng Shen was kicked out of the room, and the door slammed shut with a loud bang, showing how angry the other party was.
While I was still in a daze, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out: "Why are you coming out of Yu Wan's room at this hour, dressed so disheveled?"
Meng Shen looked up and saw Tang Yue standing by the door in a tracksuit, scrutinizing him with half-closed eyes.
He glanced down and realized that he had rushed out in his bathrobe in his haste...
"!!!"
The scene grew colder and colder, as if frost had been forming.
Meng Shen took a deep breath, forced a smile, and raised her hands: "I...I can explain."
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled casually: "Come in, you have time to explain slowly."
Meng Shen stared blankly at his tall, slender back, his face contorted in a grimace. Why did his friend have to provoke someone as terrifying as Tang Yue? He felt like their brotherhood was over!
-
When Yu Wan woke up again, it was already past midnight.
Her phone screen was filled with WeChat messages. The first one she saw was Meng Shen's "I've boarded the plane," which had been sent half an hour earlier. She clicked on it with some curiosity.
I have to go back to Jiangcheng first, so I can't play with you anymore. You and Tang Yue come back together.
[And don't keep that Weibo trending topic to yourself. With her limited skills, how could she possibly compare to my brother!]
...
Yu Wan replied with a string of ellipses, exited the chat, and found that Yu Jianguo, who was pinned to the top of her chat list, had also sent her a message.
Upon opening the message and seeing it for the first time, my eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
【Daughter, have you been wronged?】
Hurry home, Dad's waiting for you to come back for dinner tonight. After dinner, we'll watch a movie together in our home theater.
I really love this gift, thank you, my daughter.
【besides】
[Daddy loves you.]
