When Lu Zhengye arrived at the parking lot, the bodyguards were already helping Mu Li stand next to the car.
He was in a bad mood and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Ano."
An urgent female voice rang out; it was Jiang Yanqi.
Even though it was almost her turn to perform, she still came here.
Wei Qing was even more impatient than Lu Zhengye. He turned around and said, "Jiang Yanqi, our CEO Lu has a special status. Please address him politely to avoid causing unnecessary gossip."
"Who do you think you are, to dare speak to me?"
Jiang Yanqi was being too hasty, and besides, she never really respected Wei Qing.
Wei Qing's face turned ashen.
Lu Zhengye turned around and looked at her coldly, "What is he? Ha! Jiang Yanqi, back then you were able to leave the Island of the Dead and change your appearance. He put in just as much effort as I did."
"In this world, everyone is worthy to talk to you, but you are the only one who has wronged everyone who has ever been kind to you."
Jiang Yanqi's face was pale despite her exquisite makeup.
When she saw Mu Li not far away, her bad premonition intensified. "Who is he? Teacher... he only took me as his student."
"You dare to call yourself Teacher Zhang's student? Even raising a dog would be better than raising an ingrate like you," Wei Qing said bitterly.
"I'm an ingrate? Do you know what kind of life I've lived since I left the Island of the Dead? Without Han Su, I would never have made it." Jiang Yanqi argued forcefully.
Lu Zhengye's words were as cold as ice: "That means you're not capable enough, and Teacher Zhang has misjudged you."
"I am the most talented pianist. If I hadn't come from a poor background, I wouldn't have had such a hard time becoming famous."
Jiang Yanqi's tone was agitated; she admitted that she was afraid.
After Lu Zhengye returned, the Lu family became tense and had no time to pay attention to her.
The appearance of a wooden gift tonight made her feel extremely threatened.
"You don't even know how to be a decent human being, yet you dream of becoming someone superior. That's just wishful thinking," Lu Zhengye said coldly.
Jiang Yanqi still couldn't bear to hear such cold and heartless words from his mouth.
He unconsciously took a few steps back.
Wei Qing said, "If Teacher Zhang hadn't told us not to kill you before he died, pianist Jiang Yanqi would have been infamous and disappeared five years ago."
Jiang Yanqi looked incredulous, her eyes instantly reddening with fear. "You're going to kill me all?"
Lu Zhengye said, "Today I'm cleaning house for Teacher Zhang. You, Jiang Yanqi, have nothing to do with him anymore."
"Why? Lu Zhengye, what gives you the right to make decisions for my teacher?"
"Just because I handled Teacher Zhang's funeral arrangements, and because I dared to let my student publicly acknowledge that his grandmaster was Zhang Yuanhe, unlike you, who recognized a thief as your father."
Lu Zhengye stepped forward with a stern face.
The oppressive feeling instantly forced Jiang Yanqi to retreat.
"Don't think I don't know that you were the culprit who got Lin Yusheng arrested back then. You'll be infamous and die, and you won't escape either of them."
Jiang Yanqi's pupils dilated in shock. She sat down heavily on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"You want to kill me?"
“You could have lived, but you crossed my line. My lover and child almost died on the Island of the Dead. Jiang Yanqi, the suffering they endured is something you can’t repay even with ten lives.”
When Lu Zhengye said this, he was filled with a fierce aura, even more terrifying than when he first showed his prowess on the Island of the Dead.
Jiang Yanqi knew he wasn't joking.
He is Lu Zhengye. He is protective of his own, but he is ruthless to his enemies and capable of anything.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me, it's the Lu family, A-Ye, it really has nothing to do with me." Jiang Yanqi cried as she spoke.
how so?
As Jiang Yanqi spoke, she tried to pull up Lu Zhengye's trouser leg.
But Lu Zhengye took a step back without hesitation, his face full of disgust.
Jiang Yanqi was disappointed. She looked up at the man who could never escape her heart and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll expose you and reveal your identities?"
Lu Zhengye scoffed, "Do you dare? Do you dare admit that you were once Teacher Zhang's student?"
Jiang Yanqi's expression froze.
Lu Zhengye saw through her. "You can't give up your current position at all. You wouldn't do something like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot, even if it's detrimental to the enemy. Because killing a thousand enemies would result in losing eight hundred of your own."
Jiang Yanqi couldn't deny that Lu Zhengye had seen through her selfishness and dark side.
She simply stopped pretending.
“Lu Zhengye, have you ever considered that the truth will eventually come out? He’s a complete imposter,” Jiang Yanqi said, pointing at Mu Li.
Wei Qing got excited, "He's not some imposter. You've really gotten so used to being a traitor that you've forgotten your roots. You've even forgotten Teacher Zhang's style and skills, completely inheriting Han Su's despicable attitude."
“Mu Li has the shadow of Teacher Zhang in him, so no one would doubt his identity.”
Jiang Yanqi denied it, "That's impossible. The teacher only took me as his student. Who taught him?"
"Hmph! That's because he didn't tell you. Actually, he did teach the eldest brother to play the piano, but since the eldest brother's heart wasn't in the music industry, he didn't force him. The eldest brother learned just as much as you did." Wei Qing said with a mix of satisfaction and pride.
Jiang Yanqi panicked. She shook her head, feeling like the world had become a fantasy.
“Jiang Yanqi, there’s no turning back now,” Wei Qing said.
They had all received help from Teacher Zhang in Lucheng back then, so they all hated Jiang Yanqi to the core.
Jiang Yanqi's psychological defenses gradually crumbled. She sat on the ground, holding her head, and screamed in despair, "Why? Why can't you let me go? I just wanted to gamble on a way out for myself."
"Is that gambling? That's betrayal! Jiang Yanqi, you can deny that you are Teacher Zhang's student, but you can't be Han Su's student. When you became famous overnight and stood on the dazzling stage to announce that your teacher was Han Su, did you ever think about whether Teacher Zhang could accept it?" Lu Zhengye coldly pressed.
Wei Qing's eyes also reddened as she recalled that scene. "The teacher fell ill with heart disease that night and passed away a month later. You have no regrets about any of this. You shouldn't have died. Who in this world should have died?"
He will always remember how happy and proud Zhang Yuanhe was when the host announced that Jiang Yanqi was the winner.
Zhang Yuanhe's only wish in life was to train a student to leave the island of the Dead Slave, step onto the stage, and personally tell everyone that he, Zhang Yuanhe, was innocent and had never plagiarized, and that Han Su had schemed against him.
But when he saw Jiang Yanqi standing on the stage, he said, "I don't really want her to risk being criticized to clear my name. I just hope she's doing well and happy."
But the next second, when Jiang Yanqi said that her teacher was Han Su, Zhang Yuanhe didn't believe it at first, and then when he saw Han Su smiling as he stepped onto the stage, the light in his eyes gradually disappeared.
