Chapter 16: Kidnapping the Youngest Void Spirit Cup Winner
As a world-class pianist, Liang Qinglan has many fans, so most people are waiting to watch the behind-the-scenes footage of her studio. What's more, this concert brings together four masters and apprentices, so many people are waiting.
The behind-the-scenes footage of the work usually consists of the preliminary preparations and the scenes in the backstage lounge after the work is completed. Everyone was watching it with great interest until that photo suddenly appeared.
Millennium Fruit Doesn’t Climb Trees: Wait, who is the little girl in the photo?
Today's Got Rich: Liang Qinglan's Child? When did she have a child? Did I lose my internet connection?
I’m so nervous about getting rich: Don’t talk nonsense, okay, it should be the audience, right?
Planting the Sun: What kind of audience can be treated like this?
Jiamu flies with confidence, Mousse will always be with him: Brother is so handsome, but why is this little girl standing in the front?
Lemon You and Me: The C-position cancer is here again. Even if your brother becomes shorter, he can still stand in the front!
While people in the front row were still arguing about Mingyi's position, the omnipotent netizens had quickly figured out her identity.
Little Fish swam quickly: This is the eldest daughter of Ming family, and she is still a child. Isn’t it normal for her to stand in front?
Ice Coke: Is this the young lady who was rumored to have a multi-million dollar estate when she was born?
Eat well: So the eldest lady wants to become Liang Qinglan’s disciple?
Happy Planet: It’s just basic exercise for rich people. Find a famous teacher to gild your child. I originally thought Liang Qinglan was different from others, but now it seems that they are just birds of a feather.
Crystal Chandelier: +1. I remember Liang Qinglan also said that she would not accept any more students. Now it seems that the salary is not enough. /dog head/
Courage comes from Liang Qinglan: If this is true, I am really disappointed. Is Liang Qinglan like this too?
No hot pot in the summer: No, what are you saying? Rich people definitely want to give their children the best resources, just like ordinary people choose schools for their children. Isn't that human nature?
Such rational comments were quickly drowned out. The comments were basically divided into two camps. One camp felt that a noble person like Liang Qinglan had actually started to bow to money, and she should be careful not to lose her integrity in her later years. The other camp was simply anti-rich, and felt that rich people simply did not leave any chance for others. In any case, the comment section was in chaos. This was the first time such a phenomenon had occurred.
Here, Liang Qinglan was having a midnight snack with a few students. Glancing at Mingyi sitting next to Liang Qinglan, Qiao Mengan waved at her with a smile: "Mingyi, sit next to me." Why should she sit next to the teacher? So she must separate her from the teacher.
Mingyi hesitated for a moment. It didn't matter to her where she sat. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay."
"Whatever Mingyi likes to eat, I'll grill it for you." Huo Jiamu said as he planned to grill a chicken leg for her. The children of his relatives all liked it.
"I want mushrooms." Mingyi pointed to the mushrooms next to him.
"How many days do you plan to stay this time?" Liang Qinglan looked at the two and asked.
"Three days." Yuan Heyu said as he poured Mingyi a glass of warm water.
"Thank you." Mingyi took the cup and took a sip. Seeing this, Qiao Mengan couldn't help but think, this is not a junior sister, she is clearly a little ancestor. Then he thought of her extraordinary talent. Well, who can let her have this capital?
Just as the midnight snack was about to end, Liang Qinglan's assistant hurriedly appeared: "Teacher Liang, something bad has happened. There are a lot of negative comments on the studio's latest post."
"Could it be because of me?" Huo Jiamu picked up his phone self-awarely, and the two people next to him also picked up their phones. Mingyi, on the other hand, didn't think this matter had anything to do with her, and still slowly picked up the cup to drink water.
"No, are these people so idle? Does it have anything to do with them?" Qiao Mengan stared at the comments saying Liang Qinglan had lost her integrity in her later years, as well as the attacks on Mingyi. What's wrong with these people? What's wrong with the eldest lady? Did she spend her family's money?
"Has the current Internet environment become like this?" As a calm person, Yuan Heyu hasn't updated his social software for a long time, let alone surfing the Internet. He was surprised by the hostility of these comments.
Liang Qinglan was calm. After a few glances, she looked away: "Ignore it."
Huo Jiamu, who was in the same circle, was very sensitive to these things. He said directly: "This must be a scam, otherwise it wouldn't have fermented so quickly. It seems that the people behind this want to use this incident to destroy the teacher's image and reputation."
Although Huo Jiamu's words were euphemistic, the others quickly understood. Where there are people, there is competition. Zhong Anle, who has been competing with teachers for awards for years, once pursued Liang Qinglan with great fanfare. After being rejected, he did this kind of thing behind her back. It is estimated that this time it was also his handiwork. Qiao Mengan said angrily: "A grown man is so petty."
Although Liang Qinglan told her not to pay attention, Qiao Mengan couldn't swallow this anger. Influenced by her parents since she was a child, she managed her social media accounts well and had a lot of fans. She directly uploaded the video of Mingyi playing the piano and captioned: "Of course, it's talent that can impress the teacher (P.S. This little sister has only heard this piece once!)"
In that video, only Mingyi's profile was shown, which protected her privacy. Although she didn't like Mingyi, that wasn't a reason for those people to make malicious speculations. If someone with her talent couldn't be a teacher's student, who could? Could they, who could only type on a keyboard?
Glancing at Qiao Mengan's indignant expression, he gently stopped her: "Don't say anything without evidence."
Having said that, Liang Qinglan also suspected Zhong Anle. The reason why she responded to the media's questions about accepting students was because Zhong Anle had always wanted to give her his niece.
"This matter is a bit serious. I'll take you back to the hotel later." Huo Jiamu looked at Qiao Mengan and the others.
"No need. I have bodyguards here. You should be careful." Liang Qinglan glanced at Mingyi and asked softly, "Mingyi, do you need me to take you there?"
"No, thank you, teacher." Mingyi shook her head. In addition to He Kejia, there were also bodyguards accompanying them on this outing.
Qiao Mengan felt relieved after hearing this, but she was still unforgiving and whispered, "As expected, she behaves like a young lady."
Mingyi didn't hear clearly, and blinked her big eyes and asked, "Sister Qiao, what did you say?"
"Nothing." Qiao Meng'an shook her head. With so much ill will towards her online, it was a wise move for her parents to arrange for bodyguards. It was a good thing, because the teacher wouldn't have to worry about her. Yes, that was it. She wasn't worried about her, she was just worried about the teacher having to worry about her.

You Shiliu also discovered those bad remarks at the first time, but since it involved Liang Qinglan, she did not deal with it immediately. She just sent her assistant to communicate with Liang Qinglan about the follow-up of the matter. No one expected that Qiao Mengan would release such a video.
Qiao Mengan's video quickly became a hot topic. She has a large fan base and everyone knows her, so the comments under this video are all full of praise for her.
Mengmengzi’s little fangirl: Are kids nowadays so awesome?
My Piano Dream: Is this the legendary photographic memory?
Piano enthusiasts: Maybe this is talent? But there are some errors in the transitions at the 20th, 39th, and 53rd seconds, and there are also problems with the fingering. But being able to do this on my first try is already better than 99.9% of people. \Smile\
Piano lovers are famous analysts. After reading this comment, everyone re-analyzed and watched the video, but this still did not stop everyone from praising Mingyi. You know, the songs in Liang Qinglan's concert are not easy to perform, and many people who have studied piano for several years may not be able to perform without making mistakes.
I am a princess: Although there are some mistakes, this is what the young lady played after listening to it once!
The period does not eat the comma: So which door did God close for the eldest lady? I am tired of saying the word envy.
Yellow Psyduck: Such a talent can achieve something even if she is born in an ordinary family, let alone being born in the Ming family. The Ming family tried their best to find a famous teacher for her. It was just the parents' love for their daughter. There is no need to use the family background as an excuse.
Because of Qiao Mengan's frequent comments, the comments under the Liang Qinglan studio's behind-the-scenes footage began to calm down. Some people even went to the Ming family's official blog to ask how to give birth to such a talented child.
Seeing this, Liang Qinglan directly posted the photo with the caption: Welcome Mingyi to join our big family.
Qiao Mengan and the other two followed suit and forwarded the message. Mingyi didn't have a social account, so You Shiliu was a little hesitant about whether she needed to register an account for Mingyi. However, when she thought of the various violent comments online, she gave up the idea.
Although Liang Qinglan's studio was still trending, public opinion was now overwhelmingly positive. Zhong Anle couldn't help but smash the mouse in his hand. This opportunity was rare, and he had finally seized it, only to have it ruined by Qiao Mengan. He stared at Mingyi playing the piano in the screen and snorted coldly. She was just a four-year-old girl; he didn't believe in photographic memory. This statement could only coax the clueless netizens. It seemed Liang Qinglan had finally found a big shot this time.
Unlike Liang Qinglan, Zhong Anle almost always takes the business route, so his habitual thinking is always based on interests, just like when he pursued Liang Qinglan it was for interests, but he didn't expect that she would reject him, which made him angry and embarrassed. He didn't even mind that she was married, but she dared to reject him.
He glanced at the online discussion about Ming Yi's life experience. The Ming family was so powerful that they naturally couldn't let Liang Qinglan form an alliance with them. No, he had to think of a way. If Liang Qinglan really clung to the Ming family, she would definitely not let him go.
Because of this incident, You Shiliu didn't choose to return to Yuncheng immediately. Instead, she took Mingyi to meet Liang Qinglan. According to tradition, apprenticeship should be accompanied by a ceremony. The Ming family had originally begun preparations for this, but now, due to this incident, she was unsure whether Liang Qinglan would still be willing to attend. For Mingyi, this was also an important step in her growth, and You Shiliu secretly didn't want to cancel the ceremony.
"I don't need any ceremony to accept students." Liang Qinglan shook her head. In her opinion, those complicated ceremonies were just a kind of acting in their upper-class circle. Yes, she still had prejudice against their circle.
"I will listen to the teacher." Mingyi nodded, looking serious.
"Okay, wait until my concert is over, then I can start teaching." Although Liang Qinglan hated their circle, she liked Mingyi very much.
"I will wait for the teacher obediently." Mingyi said as she took the bouquet from He Kejia and handed it to Liang Qinglan. They had already delivered it last night, so she had to make up for it today.
Liang Qinglan could see her thoughts from her eyes and couldn't help laughing. Then she took the bouquet from her hand and looked down at the flowers in her arms. The flowers inside were all her favorite varieties. Her tone was much gentler: "Thank you Mingyi, I like it very much."
"As long as the teacher likes it." Mingyi was very happy that Liang Qinglan liked it. These flowers were all selected by her in the flower shop.
When she arrived at the hotel lobby, Mingyi was suddenly stopped by someone behind her: "Ms. Mingyi, Teacher Liang said she forgot to give you something. Please come upstairs."
[Didi, congratulations on your upcoming physical examination, a classic scene from the wealthy family: kidnapping]
The person who was speaking looked exactly like the assistant they had just seen next to Liang Qinglan, but You Shiliu always felt something was wrong. Before she could say anything, Mingyi gave a look to the bodyguard next to her, and the person who was speaking was quickly subdued.
Seeing You Shiliu's confusion, Mingyi said calmly, "She is not the teacher's assistant."
Yu Shi didn't expect that she would be found out so quickly. She tried to defend herself: "Ms. Mingyi, you misunderstood. I am Teacher Liang's assistant."
Mingyi was too lazy to listen to her explanation. He looked at He Kejia next to him and said, "Call the police." Another bodyguard also found two men in black in the elevator.
"Ms. Mingyi, Mrs. Ming, you misunderstood. I am the sister of Teacher Liang's assistant. We just want to remind you that Teacher Liang is not what you think." Yu Shi continued to defend herself, hoping that her words could impress You Shiliu.
"Take him away." You Shiliu waved her hand and asked the bodyguard to send the man to the public security bureau.
With the police's involvement, the matter was quickly investigated. Yu Shi was Yu Qing's twin sister. The two sisters had been at odds since childhood. Seeing that Yu Qing was Liang Qinglan's assistant, she took the initiative to contact Zhong Anle. This incident was also arranged by Zhong Anle. She had Yu Shi pretend to be Yu Qing to "invite" Ming Yi. He thought that seeing "Yu Qing" would make them less vigilant. Even if someone followed Ming Yi, the two bodyguards he hired would subdue them. He would not do anything to Ming Yi, just let the Ming family dislike Liang Qinglan through this incident. Unexpectedly, the matter would be exposed at the first step. He was confused. He couldn't tell Yu Shi from Yu Qing, so how did Ming Yi and the others do it? Unfortunately, no one could give him an answer.
Although this matter had nothing to do with Liang Qinglan, she was still very sorry. After all, this matter was caused by her. Thinking of the days when Zhong Anle was pursuing her relentlessly, Liang Qinglan felt sick. She didn't even notice that her hands were trembling slightly.
Mingyi's small hand covered her big palm, and her tone was even gentler: "Teacher, this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize for it. The bad guy has been punished. It's okay now, teacher."
"Okay." At this moment, Liang Qinglan felt that the nightmares that trapped her seemed to have disappeared.
After this incident, the Ming family decided not to expose Ming Yi to the public anymore. The next time the public heard about Ming Yi was when she was thirteen years old. She broke the record set by Huo Jiamu and became the latest winner of the Kongling Cup.
