Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Miss is definitely angry!
——Lu Ziye??
The entire audience boiled over when they heard this shout.
Lu Ziye, currently a top-tier A-list celebrity excelling in film, TV, and music, is also the youngest Best Actor in China’s history.
So handsome that it’s almost a sin, he enjoys sky-high popularity. Just a single provocative lift of his charming peach blossom eyes would provoke uncontrollable screams from countless adoring fans.
Lu Qianrou seemed to come alive all of a sudden, her eyes immediately showing an excited gleam.
It’s third brother! Third brother actually came to the venue, he must have come to watch her perform!
Lu Qianrou has always felt that among the five brothers of the Lu Family, aside from Lu Youye, it was third brother Lu Ziye who treated her the best.
Although he couldn’t return to the Lu Family often, once a year, he always brought gifts for her, and would gently pat her head with a warm smile.
The status of brother as a top star in the entertainment world felt like something straight out of a novel, which had previously won Lu Qianrou much face among the circles of high society daughters.
Many of those precious daughters who took the initiative to befriend her wanted Lu Ziye’s autograph, which she would ask for, and third brother would obligingly sign each time.
And today, third brother appeared at the venue without even a hint of warning.
Third brother must want to surprise her!
The others couldn’t care less about Lu Qianrou’s public embarrassment by Osborne just now; they all rushed outside the venue, eager to catch a glimpse of the top star’s real visage.
Lu Qianrou was also extremely excited, but at this moment, she couldn’t go find third brother; she had more important matters to attend to.
"Uncle," Lu Qianrou looked around and glanced at Jiang Yusheng, "could you come here for a moment, uncle? I have something to tell you."
Never mind Lu Qianrou being publicly humiliated earlier, making a spectacle of herself in front of her classmates.
In Beijing, Jiang Yusheng’s reputation is well-known, and wherever he goes he is surrounded by respect. When has he ever lost face in a public setting like he did just now? It’s as if his face had been slapped resoundingly.
After all the commotion, it turned out to be all his own wishful thinking. That Osborne didn’t even know who he was, and he never even looked at the video of Lu Qianrou that he sent.
Ha, what a world-class master.
Is he not just a pianist? He really thinks too highly of himself.
And one second, he’s nonchalantly brushing them off, the next he’s enthusiastically welcoming that illegitimate child who can’t even take the stage properly.
A girl who gets to compete by sleeping with old men, who doesn’t even know if she can play the piano.
To disregard Qianrou who’s been winning awards since she was young and instead rush to ingratiate with that wild child who’s never even competed in a piano contest before? Maybe Osborne is blind!
Jiang Yusheng had turned nearly green with anger earlier but had forcefully contained himself to avoid making a scene in front of these children.
Having stepped aside with Lu Qianrou, Jiang Yusheng’s face still looked awful: "Qianrou, what do you want to tell uncle?"
Lu Qianrou scanned her surroundings to ensure no one was nearby, then whispered to Jiang Yusheng: "Uncle, you know the organizers of the contest, right?"
Jiang Yusheng nodded: "I do know them, why?"
"That..." Lu Qianrou’s eyes darted around, "uncle, I heard that the order of the performances is directly arranged by the organizers, could you speak to them and have me go on stage right before Lu Sheng?"
"Why?"
Not understanding why Lu Qianrou made such a request, Jiang Yusheng asked, "The competition scores each person right after their performance, so does it really matter whether you go before or after that Lu Sheng?"
How could it not matter? Of course, it matters!
Because the piece she was going to perform today was the original composition that she stole from Lu Sheng’s backpack yesterday.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Qianrou was determined to ruin Lu Sheng yesterday, so she would not show up at today’s competition, allowing her to boldly use her composition to compete.
But who knows what happened last night; that Lu Sheng appeared perfectly fine today and had even made it to the venue in time.
If Lu Sheng performed "Dusk Descent" before her, what could she play when it was her turn?
So, she must perform before Lu Sheng does.
Once she finished playing, it would be Lu Sheng’s turn next. When Lu Sheng heard that she had played the piece she had prepared, she would definitely panic on the spot with a blank mind.
Last night, all the contestants had already reported to the organizer whether they would be playing original or non-original pieces in today’s competition.
She had reported an original piece, and Lu Sheng must have reported an original as well.
She wanted to see, seeing as she played Lu Sheng’s piece first, what Lu Sheng would play for the competition.
It’s impossible for her to improvise an original piece on the spot and play it right there and then. If she can’t play even a single note on the piano when it’s her turn, that would be truly laughable.
She had merely lost face in front of her classmates earlier, but Lu Sheng was going to lose face in front of the entire panel of judges, the audience, and the live stream cameras.
With that thought, the gloom from Lu Qianrou’s earlier embarrassment was swept away, and she even began to look forward to it.
Jiang Yusheng had no idea what Lu Qianrou was thinking; he just thought she wanted to perform before Lu Sheng to make Lu Sheng, who was following her, look like nothing.
So he agreed: "Fine, the order of appearance isn’t important anyway. I’ll go arrange it."
"Thank you, Uncle!" Lu Qianrou sighed with relief, "Uncle, Osborne was so disrespectful to you just now. I will certainly win you honor during the competition!"
Seeing his dearly loved niece being so sensible, Jiang Yusheng felt much better about the frustration he held inside.
He patted Lu Qianrou on the head, his eyes filled with satisfaction and a trace of viciousness: "Qianrou, with your strength, there’s no issue in winning first place in this competition. I want to see what that bastard that Osborne favors has to compete with you!"
Meanwhile.
All of Class A had gone to see Lu Ziye, and Lu Qianrou was talking in a corner with Jiang Yusheng, nobody knew what they were conspiring about.
Only Lu Sheng stayed put.
Speaking of which, having been at the Lu Family for so many days, she still hadn’t met her top celebrity older brother, Lu Ziye, and the mysterious Fourth Brother.
But she would eventually meet them.
Just as Osborne and Lu Sheng had exchanged a few polite words, a staff member from the organizer asked him to go backstage. Lu Sheng found a staff member and asked where Li Muchen was.
The name Li Muchen was obviously noted, as the staff member immediately pointed to the second floor and said, "Mr. Li is currently in the VIP reception room on the second floor, but..."
That area is not allowed for outsiders to enter at will.
But Lu Sheng didn’t wait for him to finish and turned to leave.
Just as Lu Sheng reached the door of the VIP reception room, she heard a coquettish "Muchen" from inside—a woman’s voice.
Lu Sheng frowned immediately.
Without hesitation, she pushed the door open the next second.
Her gaze initially met Li Muchen’s, and then it fell to see the woman who was almost clinging to Li Muchen, with her hand on his chest.
This woman... Was she Fu Siya from the Fu Family?
Li Muchen’s eyes also met the girl’s before his expression turned stern, and he pushed Fu Siya away from in front of him.
But in a blink of an eye, he saw something that wasn’t on the girl’s school uniform collar before—a delicate and beautiful rose brooch.
This brooch... Was it a gift from that man who came to find her just now?
The air suddenly stilled for two seconds.
Lu Sheng and Li Muchen didn’t speak for a moment.
But this sudden turn of events dumbfounded Chen An who was aside.
He was about to start speaking to explain for his boss when he saw the expressionless girl at the door glance at Li Muchen and Fu Siya, and then turn around and leave.
She turned and left directly.
Chen An’s mind buzzed—It’s over, it’s over, the young lady must have misunderstood, and judging by how she was just now, she is definitely angry!
