Chapter 362: Chapter 362 - Breathtaking

“Miss Qiao is the one playing this?”

“Oh my God! She can actually play such a famous tune. It seems that the performance just now was just to immerse herself in the atmosphere.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the notes of the violin, everyone could hear sorrow and despair. Then, the tune became joyful again. It was like the peaceful and prosperous era when the country was prosperous.

If Yao Mengqing’s tune was a happy and relaxed tune, then Qiao Xi’s tune was a heroic tune that was filled with the sentiments of the country. Although there were no words, it could make others feel deep emotions.

When the last note sounded, Qiao Xi lowered her arm and bent down slightly, her eyes filled with coldness.

Everyone held their breaths, unable to break the silence.

Everyone was immersed in the music. It was as if they had gone on a journey to look at the mountains and rivers. The flames of war raged before they witnessed the peaceful era today.

After a while, someone came back to their senses. It turned out that the song had already ended, but they still could not calm down for a long time. It was as if they had just watched a grand concert.

The applause was thunderous as everyone praised her excitedly. “I didn’t realize that the song had ended. I was too immersed in the music. Miss Qiao, you’re really awesome!”

Old Master Li stood up as well. His face was red as he clapped excitedly. “Although I’ve never heard this piece, I know that the person who created this piece must be a genius. Miss Qiao, you were able to play such a difficult piece without making a single mistake. You’re really awesome!”

After Old Master Li finished speaking, the venue erupted in applause.

Qiao Xi glanced indifferently at them, then her gaze landed on Yao Mengqing and Zhao Qinghui. She asked casually, “Miss Yao, Mr. Zhao, my performance has ended. Do you think I have the ability to prove those rumors about me being ignorant and incompetent wrong?”

Yao Mengqing choked and bit her lip.

Zhao Qinghui’s face alternated between red and white. A moment later, he gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Qiao’s performance was indeed very good…”

“If even you think it’s good, Mr. Zhao, then I should be qualified to compete with the champion, right? At least I didn’t lose my dignity here.”

Li Xing’er applauded again. “Miss Qiao, you haven’t played the violin for three years. It means that you were even more outstanding than now. You were already so capable back then. If Mr. Zhao still criticizes you, it only means that Mr. Zhao’s expectations are too high.”

Someone echoed, “Why do I feel that Miss Qiao’s standard is better than Miss Yao’s?! As expected of Xue Liang’s younger sister!”

“Who spread the rumors? They even said that Miss Qiao is ignorant and incompetent? Then what’s Yao Mengqing?”

“Yeah, who was it who spread these rumors? Before we came to the banquet, we never heard of such rumors. Yao Mengqing was the one who said it herself. I think she just wanted to step on Miss Qiao. Unexpectedly, she’s much better than her.”

Yao Mengqing’s pupils constricted abruptly as her body trembled.

Qiao Xi looked at Yao Mengqing and said casually, “Miss Yao, did you just say that my performance was very average?”

Everyone looked at Yao Mengqing with anger. She did say that Qiao Xi’s performance was average, but everyone thought that Qiao Xi was playing and could not hear their comments at all. Unexpectedly, she actually heard it.

Yao Mengqing stammered, “I-I…”

She suddenly thought of something and abruptly looked up at Gu Zheng with a confident smile. “I didn’t say anything. Yes, yes… Ah Zheng was the one who said it. He said that your performance was average, so…”

“Is that so? Gu Zheng said that my performance was average?” Qiao Xi seemed to be lost in thought.

Everyone was nervous to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. Qiao Xi actually dared to call President Gu by his name?

Qiao Xi frowned. “Gu Zheng, did you say that my performance was average?”

Everyone held their breaths as they looked at the scene in front of them with fear. Gu Zheng might flare up in the next second, so they could not be implicated.

Yao Mengqing could not help but be stunned. She did not expect that Qiao Xi would start questioning Ah Zheng in front of everyone.

According to Ah Zheng’s character, he would definitely not pay attention to Qiao Xi, but it could be said that he was saving her some dignity.

Actually, Qiao Xi was not suitable to be Mrs. Gu at all because she did not know Ah Zheng.. She had no right to be his woman!
