Shen Mei was still standing on the stage, seemingly at a loss as to what to do with this sudden situation.
Not many people can play the piece of music just now well.
She deliberately selected such a difficult piece of music and practiced it privately for a long time, just to amaze everyone at today's birthday party.
Facts have proved that she did it.
Dragging Shen Zhi into the water was also her and her mother's plan.
Chen Zhi is obviously a good-for-nothing who can do nothing. He should be ridiculed for the rest of his life and rot and stink in a corner.
Why do you keep stepping on her head?
Why does he get more attention from Xie Jinyan than her?
Whenever she thought of the scene where Chen Zhi and Xie Jinyan appeared and left together just now, Chen Mei wished she could tear this seductive vixen like Chen Zhi into pieces!
Regarding the artificial intelligence project mentioned earlier, although Chen Zhi said that he just knew about it, he must have prepared it in advance in private.
But talent...she just didn't believe that Chen Zhi, who knew nothing, could prepare in advance!
Shen Mei laughed sarcastically in her heart.
Doesn't she want to be in the spotlight?
Tonight, let her have enough fun!
Whether Chen Zhi goes on stage or not, she is bound to lose face!
Seeing that Shen Zhi had not responded yet, Shen Mei knew that she had made the right bet.
Shen Zhi didn't dare to go on stage, which undoubtedly confirmed the rumors about her. From now on, Shen Zhi would never be able to raise her head in this circle.
Even if Xie Jinyan looked at Shen Zhi differently, how could Mr. Xie allow such a woman who was ridiculed by everyone to marry into the Xie family and make the Xie family a laughing stock?
Chen Zhi’s beautiful dream is about to be shattered!
Thinking of this, Shen Mei almost laughed out loud.
Before she knew it, the next second, Shen Zhi's voice came from the audience.
Shen Mei was stunned for a second.
Shen Zhijing stood up from his seat.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she walked slowly in a plain moon-white satin dress and high heels.
After just a short walk, she exuded the aura of a red carpet.
Shen Mei narrowed her eyes.
I didn't expect that Chen Zhi would rush here to embarrass me.
What talents does she have?
Perform poetry readings for the guests?
But in a moment, Shen Zhiyi had walked in front of Shen Mei.
She was taller than Chen Mei, and had a natural aura. When she looked at her with her eyes lowered, she inexplicably felt a bit condescending.
Chen Zhi curled her red lips and smiled in a way that captivated everyone.
"Sister, you play the piano very well. Have you been practicing for a long time?"
Shen Mei’s face stiffened slightly.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly lowered her head and stammered in fear, "I'm sorry, sister, don't be angry. I didn't know things would turn out like this..."
"Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "You have built such a big stage for me. If I don't perform well, wouldn't it be a waste of your hard work?"
The people in the audience did not hear the conversation between Shen Zhi and Shen Mei.
But when the two stand together, it has to be said that Chen Zhi is far superior to Chen Mei in both appearance and temperament.
Shen Mei sneered in her heart.
What a big tone! He won't cry until he sees the coffin!
Shen Mei: "So sister, what talent do you want to perform?"
Shen Zhi laughed.
Without saying anything, he walked past Shen Mei and headed directly towards the piano.
Shen Mei's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
What does Chen Zhi want to do? He can't be trying to play the piano, right?
When Chen Zhi sat in front of the piano, the entire banquet hall suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Soon, deliberately suppressed discussions were heard in every corner.
"Chen Mei just performed the piano. This Chen Zhi must be a fool. With such a good example before her, even if she can really play, she will only be outdone by this stepsister."
"Tsk tsk, I heard before that Chen Zhi is an outlier in this circle. He was forced into this just now. Maybe he can't do anything except playing the piano. He can only bite the bullet and do it."
"Not necessarily. I see that Chen Zhi doesn't seem to be nervous at all. Maybe he is a real person who doesn't show his true colors?"
"She is also a female star. She has been in the entertainment industry for such a long time. If she still doesn't know how to act pretentiously, then her life has been in vain."
"Besides, I heard that Chen Mei specially invited a heavyweight pianist to teach her piano. She is considered half a disciple. Can she be surpassed by Chen Zhi?"
Shen Mei returned to her seat.
Chen Zhi on the stage was still sitting in front of the piano motionless, frowning slightly as if thinking about something.
The discussions around us gradually grew louder.
As early as when Shen Zhi walked onto the stage, Shen Hongyi's face had turned ashen.
Seeing Chen Mei coming back, he suppressed his anger and asked Chen Mei, "What did your sister say to you just now? Why did she go on stage for no reason?!"
Shen Mei said innocently: "My sister said that we can't waste such a stage, we must perform well for everyone."
"Nonsense!" Shen Hongyi's face was extremely ugly, "How can she play the piano when she hasn't even taken piano lessons a few times?!"
When Jiang Yun saw Chen Zhi walking towards the piano calmly, her heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, I felt relieved, so I said with difficulty: "Zhizhi... maybe she wanted to make you proud..."
Shen Hongyi: "Give me face? I think she is determined to embarrass me!"
The discussions became louder and louder, and even the Xie family members were a little confused.
Xie Mingan frowned: "Isn't she going to play the piano? Why hasn't she started yet?"
Xie Xi muttered: "Could it be that he can't play it..."
Xie Lin glanced at her and Xie Xi shut up instantly.
The butler bowed: "Master, do you need me to ask what happened?"
Before Mr. Xie could speak, Xie Jinyan's lazy voice suddenly came: "No need."
The moment the words fell.
Chen Zhi lowered his head slightly and leaned forward.
Her fair and slender fingers danced lightly on the black and white keys, and the music poured out from her fingertips like flowing clouds and water.
The discussion stopped suddenly.
Hearing this familiar prelude, many people in the banquet hall were shocked.
"Could this song be..."
After the soothing prelude, the melody gradually became rapid and passionate.
Chen Zhi's fingers flew across the piano keys at an incredible speed, and the melody composed of notes seemed to come alive in an instant.
It is the mountain breeze, the stars in the night sky, the waves in the blue sea, and the vast mountains and rivers that we have not yet stepped on.
It has grand openings and closings and is very heart-wrenching.
Some of the guests looked shocked.
"Oh my god, isn't this the Phantom Night that is widely acknowledged to be extremely difficult and is considered a touchstone for a performer's ability?!"
