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, âXi Xi, donât blame Ah Zheng. Maybe itâs 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.â
Yao Mengqing secretly curled up her lips into a proud smile. âAh Zheng and I grew up together. I know him very well. Heâs very picky about things and people. He wonât like even such a perfect tune. Heâs not targeting you, but his requirements are too high. Although youâre his wife, you canât let him change for you. Just get used to it.â
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 Xingâer could not sit still anymore. âGuââ
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. âXi Xi, I said your performance was average. Are you angry with me?â
Gu Zhengâs voice was gentle, but it still maintained a dignified air. Everyone could hear the affection in his voice, especially when he said âXi Xiâ. It was filled with President Guâs gentleness and love, making everyone dumbfounded.
Yao Mengqingâs 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 Xiâs 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 Zhengâs voice was magnetic as he said slowly, âI 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.â
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?
âMiss Qiao said that she hasnât played the violin in three years, so her standard has dropped. It looks like sheâs not lying!â
âThatâs not a problem. After all, President Gu has seen Miss Qiaoâs performance back then. After listening to her performance now, he naturally finds it very ordinary. Miss Qiao has not practiced for three years, so itâs normal for her to be a little weak.â
âPresident Gu, your expectations are too high, but we all think that the performance this time was perfect!â
âMiss Yao was the champion back then. She has been practicing all these years but canât compare to Miss Qiao, who hasnât played for three years. How embarrassing! She still has the cheek to mock others with such standards?â
âWait!â
At this moment, something suddenly flashed through Li Xingâerâs mind. She did not have the time to think and blurted out, âThatâs not right! If Qiao Xi is better than Yao Mengqing after not practicing for three years, then why didnât Qiao Xi enter the finals when she was at her peak? Moreover, Yao Mengqing even won the championship?â
Huh? That was right.
This was a little strange!
Everyone looked at Li Xingâer, whose face was overcast with anger. âAccording to President Gu, Qiao Xi performed better three years ago, so why didnât she enter the finals?!â
âYao Mengqing has been practicing for so long but still canât compare to Qiao Xi, whoâs already unfamiliar with the violin. However, she became the champion back then! What exactly is going on?â
â¦!
Yao Mengqingâs face was pale as if she had been struck by lightning.
Li Xingâerâs words had reminded everyone of the incident. No wonder when they heard Qiao Xiâs performance just now, they kept feeling that something was wrong! So that was the reason!
âThatâs right! Back then, Miss Yaoâs 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 didnât Miss Qiao enter the finals?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWho were the judges for the semi-finals?â
âI remember that the judge who had the right to veto and the right to advance contestants was⦠Zhao Qinghui!â
