Of course, Xia Ruoming would not take this polite question as a sign that Ye Han was interested in her. Perhaps Ye Han was just curious about her as a "newcomer".
But even if there is a 1% possibility, she must eliminate it.
So she simply used the skill she was best at in her previous life - pretending to be deaf and dumb. She clearly heard it, but just didn't answer.
He even held the teacup and looked around, not focusing on Ye Han.
"Hey! I asked you if you heard me! I'm asking you!" When Ye Han found out that Xia Ruoming seemed not to have heard her at all, her disguised gentleness and politeness were immediately torn off. She was really unhappy, no matter whether Xia Ruoming was pretending not to hear or really didn't hear.
Xia Ruoming: "..."
Now Xia Ruoming's main focus is to play badly. No matter what she says, Xia Ruoming pretends not to hear it. When she walks in front of her, she pretends to look at something else and keeps her eyes on the other side.
Ye Han was really confused. Even if she was playing hard to get, she wouldn't do it that way. There were really a lot of people who wanted to curry favor with her. Even if the rest didn't like her personality, they would come up and say hello to her to leave a good impression. But Xia Rumeng was different. She seemed to be avoiding her deliberately since she sat down.
No, even if she is not pretty enough in Xia Ruoming's eyes, she won't be scary, right? Why does Xia Ruoming look like she has seen a ghost?
Even if someone has a bad temper like her, if she doesn't say politely, she will at least give some response. If there is any interest in the exchange, it is normal to exchange contact information.
How could someone have a weirder temper than her?
Ye Han really didn’t understand.
Looking at Ye Han's face that could turn red at any time, Xia Ruoming was really a little overwhelmed, and at the same time she felt really helpless in her heart.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to be polite, but what if Ye Han has a good impression of her because of her politeness and gets pestered by her? Besides, the old man of the Ye family would never allow such a thing. In her previous life, Xu Fengwu could elope freely, but now she has her own career that has just started. Wouldn’t it be too much to go against the old man of the Ye family?
"Hey! I'm asking you a question! Where are you from and why are you so rude?" Ye Han was really a little anxious and kept asking.
"My friend, Miss Ye is asking you a question. She is the daughter of the famous Ye family. Even if you want to give face to the Ye family, you should answer her, right?" Li Boxuan also said with a smile at the right time.
"...Xia Ruoming." Xia Ruoming held it in for a long time, but finally said it helplessly. At the same time, she looked at Li Boxuan with malice. If everyone pretends to be dumb, can't I get away with it? What does it mean that you are grilling me, a girl, over the fire?
Ye Han smiled slightly after hearing Xia Ruoming's answer. When he was about to ask more questions, he found that there seemed to be a commotion in a corner of the hall.
Xia Ruoming, who found the opportunity, immediately stood up and walked towards the noisy side. Of course, she had no interest in joining in the fun, but she had no choice but to do so in order to get rid of Ye Han.
But just like the previous trajectory, in terms of love, fate has never been as Xia Ruoming wished.
When Xia Ruoming walked over, she found several rich second-generations gathered around a guqin and discussing something. It was said that this guqin made of golden nanmu was also a famous guqin, made by a master guqin maker. It would cost about hundreds of thousands to buy, which was much more expensive than those guqins that cost tens of thousands and were "supervised" by the master.
Playing a song with the guqin in front of everyone in such an ancient place is undoubtedly a great opportunity to show off. These rich second-generations want to show off their skills, but they are helpless. After all, when it comes to the piano, they can still show off their skills, but when it comes to the guqin, they have never even touched it. They want to show off but don't know where to start.
"Miss, are you also interested in the guqin? I wonder how much you know about the guqin?" The boy who was introducing the guqin on the side saw another newcomer coming and asked impatiently.
He himself is not very good at playing the guqin, but he likes to collect musical instruments. He got this guqin by chance recently, but the guqin is not his strong point, so he thought of giving it to people who like music at the cocktail party in exchange for interpersonal relationships. In addition, the guqin has found a wise owner and will not be left with him in obscurity, which makes him satisfied.
"Well... I know a thing or two..." Actually, Xia Ruoming was being a little modest when she said this. In her previous life, she was also quite good at playing the guqin, and she was proficient in everything from Xiaoxiang Shuiyun to Guangling San.
There was no other way. When people no longer have material pursuits, they always have to have some spiritual pursuits. However, the piano requires cutting ligaments in the later stages, which is not her cup of tea at all, so she still chose the guqin.
As we all know, "mastering the art to perfection" "reaching the pinnacle" "knowing a thing or two" "knowing only a little" are generally used to express modesty. When the owner of the guqin heard Xia Ruoming's words, he subconsciously regarded Xia Ruoming as a master of guqin.
"Oh... If the girl likes it, how about playing a song for her?" The boy pulled Xia Ruoming to the side, his face full of anticipation.
"Really?" Xia Ruoming also became interested. If she counted her previous life, she hadn't touched a guqin for ten years. This time, encountering a famous guqin really made her interested again.
"Seriously, please, young lady." The boy said and made way.
Xia Ruoming walked up to the zither, squinted her eyes and tried to play it. As for the nine virtues of the guqin: ancient, quiet, round, clear, smooth and even, there was no problem at all. But it was a little lacking in the remaining aspects of strange, transparent and fragrant. But it didn't matter. After all, after all, even modern zithers made by famous guqins rarely have all nine virtues.
There are absolutely no problems with hitting the board, sand sound, or finger resistance. It can be considered a good guitar, but the price is definitely not worth that much. The owner of the guitar has probably been cheated.
"What do you think of this piano, girl?" the boy asked after Xia Ruoming had finished trying out the piano.
"Yes, the sound of the zither is not scattered and the tone is even. Although it does not have all nine virtues, it is still a rare good zither. Do you really want me to play a song for it? Aren't you afraid that I will damage your zither that is worth a lot of money? I can't afford to compensate you for that." Xia Ruoming said with a smile.
"Girl, please play. I always keep my word. Don't mention that it's broken. If you are really proficient in the art of playing the zither, I will give it to you with all my heart."
"In that case, I'd be honored to refuse it." It was a rare opportunity for Xia Ruoming to come across a good guqin, and she was itching to play it, so she sat down in front of it and placed her fingers on the strings, attracting many second-generation rich people to watch, including Ye Han.
There were also many people whispering nearby.
"Luo Hongyu is usually so stingy that he treats anyone who touches his piano as if it were his life. How could he be willing to take it out and play it for someone today?"
"I don't know. It seems that this woman must be very knowledgeable about piano, otherwise Luo wouldn't let her touch the piano."
"I don't know which famous family this lady comes from. She even knows the guqin. She wears such cheap clothes probably to avoid being conspicuous. It seems like I have to make friends with her later."
