Chapter 163 Shocks the Entire Internet, Character Collapses [2 Updates]
Before the concert ended, she couldn't let more people see Ying Zijing.
Ying Luwei didn't even hesitate; even if it meant ruining her concert, it had to be stopped.
Seeing that the staff were also immersed in Ying Zijing's music, she yelled in a panic, "I told you to turn the sound off!"
None of the staff members paid any attention to her.
Just kidding, this is a piece by Vera Hall.
They can hear it, which is a real blessing.
Ying Luwei was so angry that she trembled all over.
Because of her emotional breakdown and severe mental distress, tears kept flowing from her eyes.
Ying Luwei didn't care about anything else; she rummaged through the toolbox next to her and pulled out a pair of scissors.
Then he quickly stepped forward and cut the red and blue lines directly.
The staff realized what was happening, were shocked by her actions, and immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Madam!"
"Get out of my way." Ying Luwei's pretense was completely torn away; her usual gentleness and elegance were nowhere to be seen.
She raised her hand and slapped the staff member across the face: "I told you to get out of my way!"
Ying Luwei continued cutting the threads when she suddenly heard a few "snap" sounds behind her.
It's the sound of taking photos and videos.
Ying Luwei's pupils contracted sharply, and her face turned deathly pale.
What completely shattered her defenses was that despite cutting so many wires, the concert was not affected at all.
"Old woman, what do you want?" Jiang Ran, hands in his pockets, looked at her with a sneer. "Trying to ruin the performance? You're dreaming."
The younger brother followed behind him, dutifully recording the video.
"Come on, help her up and take her to the hall." Jiang Ran clapped his hands and laughed, "She has no choice but to listen, whether she wants to or not."
**
Outside the Shanghai Great Hall.
A black, extended Lincoln pulled up.
The door opened, and Jiang Moyuan came down from above.
There were dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he had been working overtime for several days in a row.
Hearing the enthusiastic applause in the hall, the secretary turned around and smiled: "Third Master, it seems that Miss Lu Wei's performance was a great success."
Jiang Moyuan nodded.
He likes Ying Luwei, not just because their families are betrothed as children.
Furthermore, it was because Ying Luwei, the most famous socialite in the entire city of Shanghai, was the only one who could match him in every way.
Especially the piano.
When he was tired from work, he would listen to Ying Luwei play the piano, which always helped him relax.
Fortunately, his work ended early today, so he was still able to make it to the concert.
The secretary followed Jiang Moyuan inside and, listening to the soft piano music, exclaimed, "Third Master, Miss Lu Wei's skill has improved again."
He had never heard such a beautiful piece of music before.
Jiang Moyuan's eyes flickered, and he quickened his pace.
The main entrance was closed, so he entered through the side door.
Just then, the last note of the piano faded away.
"Thump!"
It's like a blow to the heart, an indescribable and powerful charm that leaves one speechless for a long time.
Jiang Moyuan's gaze froze instantly, and his eyes widened abruptly.
He looked at the figure in front of the golden piano, and his heart felt as if it had been squeezed by a hand, and he felt a sharp pain.
It's Ying Zijin!
The secretary standing nearby was also stunned, and even more so, in disbelief: "Third Master, how could this be..."
His voice was interrupted by another round of applause.
"Clap clap clap." Zhuo Lanhan also stood up and clapped. She smiled and said, "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I never thought that in my life I would have the honor of hearing these three world-class masterpieces performed again."
Perhaps "Sun and Moon" isn't anything special, after all, several pianists have performed it.
The reappearance of "Holy War" and "Song of Florence" is enough to shake the entire music industry.
She has no regrets in her life for being able to hear the live version.
No wonder, even though Vera Hall only left behind three songs, they are still an indelible and significant achievement in the history of European music.
Such a performance can only be described as unparalleled.
Ying Zijing slowly stood up and nodded, "Thank you."
"Ying Zijin, is that right?" Zhuo Lanhan's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. "To reach such a top level at your age, I am ashamed of myself."
She paused for a moment, then asked kindly, "Do you have a mentor?"
Ying Luwei was forcibly brought in by Jiang Ran's two henchmen when she heard these words, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Hmm—” Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, “My aunt taught me.”
"What?" Zhuo Lanhan was shocked, but her voice turned cold, indicating anger, though not directed at Ying Zijing. "Do you think I don't know Ying Luwei's skill level? Does she think she's qualified to teach you?"
Che Yu had known Zhuo Lanhan for many years, but this was the first time he had ever seen her so angry.
“Teacher Zhuo, the child wasn’t lying.” He coughed and lowered his voice. “Ying Luwei did say that she had been teaching this child piano for a year.”
[…Luwei did indeed say that she taught her, and she also wrote it on Weibo.]
I don't usually go online. I only came to her concert because I like Lu Wei and her piano playing. I don't know what happened before, but I don't want to like her anymore. It's disgusting.
[This is hilarious! Ying Luwei, you're saying you taught her this? Did your face get stretched during a facial? It's so big!]
Where are all those brainless fans who said she doesn't play as well as your idol? Just one question: don't you feel ashamed?
After Che Yu's reminder, Zhuo Lanhan remembered.
Her expression darkened further: "Interesting, very interesting. In all these years, I've never heard of someone with such a low level of skill being able to teach someone with a peak level of skill."
"Zhuo, don't be so subtle." Bart took a microphone and spoke up, "Some people are utterly trash themselves, yet they think too highly of themselves and like to boss others around. They don't realize that they are the real clowns."
Ying Luwei's face was deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She could not bear this humiliation at all.
And this happened in full view of everyone, with so many fans, including Zhong Manhua and even Jiang Moyuan.
But this was her own doing. In order to trample Ying Zijing underfoot, she repeatedly emphasized to others that no matter how she taught her, Ying Zijing would not be able to learn.
Today, an invisible slap landed squarely on her face.
"Weren't you supposed to play 'Sun and Moon'?" Zhuo Lanhan sat down again, calm and composed. She looked at Ying Luwei, her tone leaving no room for argument, "Play it now and let us all see how you teach others."
Ying Luwei simply couldn't do it; how could she possibly go up there?
But from behind, Jiang Ran kicked her and sneered, "Aren't you moving?"
Ying Luwei didn't know how she got to the stage. She sat down at her piano and placed her trembling fingers on it.
The notes came from her hands intermittently, out of tune.
With Ying Zijin's previous performance as a comparison, the difference in quality was immediately apparent.
"Stop playing! Stop playing!" Bart couldn't stand hearing "Sun and Moon" being insulted like this. "You play it so badly, how dare you? I'm speechless."
"clang!"
A piercing sound came from the piano; one of the keys was broken.
Ying Luwei's finger recoiled, and she was completely unable to continue playing.
Feeling prickly under the gazes of many, her face flushed red again, and cold sweat soaked through her skirt.
Now, everyone knows that Ying Luwei was just using "Sun and Moon" as a front to deceive them all.
"Very well, very well." Zhuo Lanhan laughed angrily. "Trying to elevate your own status by leveraging Vera Hall's fame? I'll ask you one question: do you deserve it?"
Ying Luwei's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.
She had everything planned out perfectly.
But all of this paled in comparison to Ying Zijing's performance of three piano pieces by Vera Hall.
Even now, Ying Luwei still can't believe it.
"Ying Luwei, you have insulted the piano." Zhuo Lanhan's gaze was icy. "Get down."
Ying Luwei felt dizzy and staggered off the stage.
It's over, she's completely finished this time.
**
Only a few hundred thousand people watched the online live stream, which isn't a large number.
After all, Ying Luwei doesn't have much of a casual fanbase, and most of her fans have already left.
But that didn't stop her from trending on social media.
It quickly topped the trending search list at rocket speed.
The concert was still going on at this point.
#Ying Luwei, her image has completely collapsed#
#Ying Luwei, fans collectively unfollow and turn against her#

[@The strongest gossipmonger on the whole network V: A new night, let's have some fresh gossip. A netizen submitted a post saying that a famous Chinese female pianist was going to have a concert today and said she would play "Sun and Moon", but of course she didn't play it.]
What's funny is that after this beautiful piano teacher's student played the piece, she did this.
A video clip is attached below.
The video shows Ying Luwei frantically cutting the wires of audio equipment and other devices with scissors.
Let's give her a monthly pass to celebrate Ying Luwei's complete departure from the game! 2333

You can go and see for yourself; you can really see the afterimage of the fingers.
