"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Yanqi, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
Jiang Yanqi's voice was gentle, and her eyes accurately captured Lu Zhengye's figure.
Her heart skipped a beat. He was still so dazzling. No matter what else he had, he could attract a lot of attention just by standing there.
"I came to Lucheng today to meet a very, very important person. He is right here in the audience. This new song is dedicated to my fans and to him."
The scene erupted in excitement.
First, everyone was surprised by Jiang Yanqi's new song debut. Second, everyone knows that Jiang Yanqi is an orphan and has never been heard of being close to any friends. So who is she referring to at this moment?
There is no answer.
Jiang Yanqi walked to the piano and sat down.
The moment the light shone on her, she looked as beautiful as a figure in a painting.
Upon seeing this, Wei Qing scoffed, "She always likes to attract attention."
Jiang Yanqi's hands danced nimbly across the piano keys, and the entire room fell silent.
Only her singing voice remains.
"I still remember that first meeting, my heart was beating so clearly, and the moment we met, I was as happy as a child..."
Wei Qing kept a close eye on Lu Zhengye's expression.
But he just stared at the stage indifferently, and it was unclear whether he was looking at Jiang Yanqi.
When Jiang Yanqi reached the climax of her song, the camera on the big screen switched, and Lu Zhengye appeared on the screen.
Some girls were so captivated by his looks that they covered their mouths to stop themselves from screaming.
He's handsome, wearing a suit, and sitting in the VIP section; you can tell at a glance that he's both good-looking and rich.
Just then, Jiang Yanqi turned her head and smiled gently in Lu Zhengye's direction.
Wei Qing almost jumped up and cursed, while Lu Zhengye frowned almost imperceptibly.
This is what Jiang Yanqi instructed Li Xia to do. She wanted to give everyone a heads-up that her man, Jiang Yanqi, had a noble status and outstanding looks.
...
Lin Yusheng, who had just gotten off the plane and was in a taxi, saw this scene as soon as she turned on her live stream.
She took several deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart.
Jiang Yanqi, the so-called fairy descended to earth, is clearly a scheming woman who climbs the social ladder.
And Lu Zhengye, he's really something. He said he would keep his promises, but then he went to see his ex-girlfriend's performance.
Lin Yusheng angrily threw her phone aside.
The driver was an honest man, and since Lin Yusheng was wearing a mask, he didn't know that the person in the car was the big star who was currently trending on social media.
"Young lady, what's wrong?"
Lin Yusheng said aggrievedly, "Brother, my boyfriend didn't spend New Year's Eve with me. He went to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his ex-girlfriend. I'm in a hurry to catch him cheating. Could you drive a little faster?"
“This kind of man is a disgrace to all men. Don’t be sad, girl. After this traffic light, I’ll drive straight to you on the highway.”
Lin Yusheng quickly thanked him.
...
After Jiang Yanqi finished her performance, Lu Zhengye left immediately.
Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they didn't meet, that was fine.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanqi hurriedly chased after them, wearing only a coat.
The Spring Festival Gala inside hadn't ended yet, so no one came out; everyone was waiting for the final New Year's countdown.
Jiang Yanqi called out to Lu Zhengye by the fountain at the entrance of the venue.
It's snowing a lot in Lucheng; it's been almost nonstop today.
"Ah Ye, I'm so happy you could come."
Upon hearing her voice, Wei Qing immediately called Lin Yusheng.
Lu Zhengye stopped and turned around, but didn't say anything.
Jiang Yanqi felt a little flustered under his gaze. She tentatively asked, "A-Ye, does your presence mean you've forgiven me?"
Lu Zhengye laughed, "I've never blamed you, so how can you talk about forgiveness?"
"Really?" Jiang Yanqi couldn't believe it, her eyes welling up with tears of emotion.
Lu Zhengye changed the subject abruptly, "You should seek forgiveness from your deceased teacher, not from me."
Jiang Yanqi's smile froze on her face, and the tears in her eyes just wouldn't fall.
"When you become famous and tell everyone that your teacher is Han Su instead of Zhang Yuanhe, you will owe Teacher Zhang a debt of gratitude for raising you. Teacher Zhang will be extremely disappointed by this and die with regrets. You will never get his forgiveness."
Lu Zhengye spoke in the calmest tone what touched Jiang Yanqi's heart the most.
Wei Qing angrily questioned, "When you were enjoying wealth and fame and being adored by thousands, did you ever think about how Teacher Zhang treated you like his own son and gave you the best? And what about the eldest brother? He almost lost his life because of you, and what about you?"
"You've been ungrateful and betrayed us. Have you ever felt any remorse?"
Jiang Yanqi felt a pang of pain in her chest as the two questioned her, and her frail body swayed precariously in the cold wind.
Li Xia helped her up.
Jiang Yanqi looked up at the cold-looking man in front of her.
She said, "I felt guilty, but I don't regret it."
“I have a lot of talent, but because I was born on the island of the dead, I will never have a chance to get ahead in my life. I am not reconciled.”
“The moment I stepped off the island of the dead and gained an identity, I realized what it felt like to be alive. I really wanted to repay Teacher Zhang, but everyone said he plagiarized and was despicable. How could I be a student of such a person?”
Jiang Yanqi spoke as if she were on the verge of collapse.
Lu Zhengye remained unmoved, even finding it laughable. "The teacher was wronged. He spent more than ten years training you, hoping that you could find opportunities to prove his innocence, return to the music industry, and see the light again. But in the end, the one who broke him was you."
Lu Zhengye stepped forward, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure. "It's not that you can't be Zhang Yuanhe's student, it's that you don't want to. If you become Zhang Yuanhe's apprentice, your starting point is at the bottom of the mountain, but if you become Han Su's student, your starting point is halfway up the mountain. You've always been selfish, so choosing Han Su was inevitable. Am I right?"
Lin Yusheng listened over the phone; it was the first time she had ever heard Lu Zhengye say so much at once.
Her feelings were inevitably complicated. She hoped that Lu Zhengye, as he himself said, had never hated Jiang Yanqi, because there would be no hate if there was no love.
"Master, can you go a little faster?"
...
Jiang Yanqi almost lost her balance and fell to the ground when she heard Lu Zhengye's words.
Li Xia was also shocked; she had no idea about these things.
Jiang Yanqi felt as if she was about to shatter at any moment, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string. "Aye, do you really think I'm selfish and that I did something wrong?"
"I have no right to judge your right or wrong, nor am I interested. I came here today to see what skills you have learned from Han Su."
Lu Zhengye gave a mocking smile, "Looks like he's nothing special, getting worse as he gets older."
Wei Qing also sneered, "If Teacher Zhang saw you like this, he probably wouldn't want you to call yourself his student."
Jiang Yanqi was breathing rapidly, so sad that she couldn't breathe. "Aye, are you blaming me? You're not telling the truth."
As if to prove something, Jiang Yanqi quickly went up and tried to hug Lu Zhengye.
Lu Zhengye noticed her movement and took a few steps back.
