Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yao Mengqing was sure that she was the only one who understood Gu Zheng the most. At this moment, she should step forward to show Ah Zheng her concern and let him know her feelings for him.

Yao Mengqing thought about it and said gently, “Xi Xi, don’t blame Ah Zheng. Maybe it’s because his standards are too high. Actually, Mr. Zhao and I both think that you play very well. As long as you practice hard, Ah Zheng will take a liking to you sooner or later.”

Yao Mengqing secretly curled up her lips into a proud smile. “Ah Zheng and I grew up together. I know him very well. He’s very picky about things and people. He won’t like even such a perfect tune. He’s not targeting you, but his requirements are too high. Although you’re his wife, you can’t let him change for you. Just get used to it.”

Everyone gasped.

In that case, President Gu did not like Qiao Xi and even found her a little annoying. Otherwise, why would such perfect music not satisfy him?

Li Xing’er could not sit still anymore. “Gu—”

Before she could finish, Gu Zheng raised his eyes indifferently. His eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule. He looked at Yao Mengqing and chuckled. “Xi Xi, I said your performance was average. Are you angry with me?”

Gu Zheng’s voice was gentle, but it still maintained a dignified air. Everyone could hear the affection in his voice, especially when he said ‘Xi Xi’. It was filled with President Gu’s gentleness and love, making everyone dumbfounded.

Yao Mengqing’s heart thumped. Impossible! Ah Zheng was clearly helping her. How could he be so gentle to Qiao Xi? This was definitely an illusion!

Earlier, he said that Qiao Xi’s performance was very ordinary, which meant that he liked the tune she played more.

B-But… Why was she still so nervous? Her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Gu Zheng’s voice was magnetic as he said slowly, “I watched the international violin competition three years ago too. Xi Xi, this time, your performance was not even half as good as your performance three years ago, so it can only be said to be average.”

Everyone was instantly stunned. Then, they realized what Gu Zheng had just said. They were extremely shocked!

President Gu said that the performance this time was not even half as good as her performance from three years ago?

The performance this time had already made them forget about everything else. If that was the case, just how stunning was her performance from three years ago?

“Miss Qiao said that she hasn’t played the violin in three years, so her standard has dropped. It looks like she’s not lying!”

“That’s not a problem. After all, President Gu has seen Miss Qiao’s performance back then. After listening to her performance now, he naturally finds it very ordinary. Miss Qiao has not practiced for three years, so it’s normal for her to be a little weak.”

“President Gu, your expectations are too high, but we all think that the performance this time was perfect!”

“Miss Yao was the champion back then. She has been practicing all these years but can’t compare to Miss Qiao, who hasn’t played for three years. How embarrassing! She still has the cheek to mock others with such standards?”

“Wait!”

At this moment, something suddenly flashed through Li Xing’er’s mind. She did not have the time to think and blurted out, “That’s not right! If Qiao Xi is better than Yao Mengqing after not practicing for three years, then why didn’t Qiao Xi enter the finals when she was at her peak? Moreover, Yao Mengqing even won the championship?”

Huh? That was right.

This was a little strange!

Everyone looked at Li Xing’er, whose face was overcast with anger. “According to President Gu, Qiao Xi performed better three years ago, so why didn’t she enter the finals?!”

“Yao Mengqing has been practicing for so long but still can’t compare to Qiao Xi, who’s already unfamiliar with the violin. However, she became the champion back then! What exactly is going on?”

…!

Yao Mengqing’s face was pale as if she had been struck by lightning.

Li Xing’er’s words had reminded everyone of the incident. No wonder when they heard Qiao Xi’s performance just now, they kept feeling that something was wrong! So that was the reason!

“That’s right! Back then, Miss Yao’s violin skills might not even be as good as they are now. Back then, even President Gu was full of praise for Miss Qiao. Why didn’t Miss Qiao enter the finals?”

“Who were the judges for the semi-finals?”

“I remember that the judge who had the right to veto and the right to advance contestants was… Zhao Qinghui!”
