As the discussion reached its climax, beautiful piano music filled the banquet hall. The melodious music drowned out the conversation, and gradually, the guests were moved by the music and quieted down to appreciate it.
As the piano music stopped, the guests, still immersed in the beautiful melody, were momentarily stunned. The spotlight then fell on the white piano placed in the corner, and the guests turned to look. A woman dressed in a light blue chiffon dress and wearing an exquisite jewelry necklace slowly stood up, her elegant smile gradually winning over the hearts of the guests.
Who is this?!
Immediately, a guest spoke up and asked.
"Miss Xu!"
Knowing the identity of the girl playing the piano, Gu Ran spoke up smugly. She smiled and stepped forward, ignoring Lu Feng's attempts to stop her, and went straight over to grab Miss Xu's hand in front of the piano.
"Miss Xu, the piano you played was really beautiful."
"Thanks!"
A gentle voice came through, and those two words alone were enough to let everyone know that Miss Xu was of noble birth and had excellent manners.
"Miss Xu is a great designer and a skilled pianist; she's truly amazing."
"Moreover, you come from a good family and are beautiful, as perfect as a fairy descended from heaven. Any man here who marries you will be so lucky."
Gu Ran held Miss Xu's hand and continued to praise her.
Her eyes were full of affection when she looked at Miss Xu, but when her gaze fell on Su Ning, it immediately turned into sarcasm and coldness.
With such a wonderful Miss Xu in front of us, Su Ning, whose legs are crippled, is nothing.
"Sister Gu, you flatter me too much." Miss Xu said shyly, her face flushed, as she walked towards Mr. and Mrs. Xu.
The piano piece astonished everyone present, and Miss Xu's poise and elegance left them in awe.
Miss Xu is Mr. Xu's daughter, and the only daughter in this generation of the Xu family. She is the apple of everyone's eye and the darling of the entire Xu family.
Whoever is lucky enough to marry Miss Xu will truly be blessed.
Everyone present thought the more they looked at Miss Xu, the more they liked her.
Especially those men who are not married.
"Something's not right!"
Amidst the surrounding praise for Miss Xu, Lu Cheng spoke in a calm voice.
Not only Lu Cheng noticed something was wrong, but Su Ning and Gu Jingchen also felt something was amiss when Gu Ran stepped forward and said that someone was the most fortunate to marry Miss Xu.
If someone wants to make a perfect entrance and draw everyone's attention, sometimes using another person to highlight their merits can be more sensational and effective.
That's Miss Xu for you!
Su Ning was bumped by Madam Ji for no apparent reason. It wasn't that she was looking for trouble; someone wanted Madam Ji's mother to call her a cripple.
Madam Ji is shrewish, but it's impossible for her not to be afraid of Gu Jingchen. If she isn't afraid, the Ji family is too. The only reason she dares to do this is because someone has promised them a great deal of benefit, which allows her to scold Su Ning at the banquet.
Calling Su Ning a useless person was only the first time; it was just to deepen everyone's impression of Su Ning and let everyone know that Su Ning was a useless person and did not deserve Gu Jingchen.
Following closely behind, Miss Xu entered by playing the piano. The melodious music naturally attracted everyone's attention. Her performance was astonishing. When she reappeared, with the useless Su Ning as a foil, Miss Xu, with her good family background and outstanding talent, naturally became the best.
"I am truly innocent."
Su Ning looked up and smiled at Gu Jingchen.
