Surprise! The little puppy I raised is the heir of a wealthy family

"Yanqing also studied piano, right? What kind of job is she doing now? Yaoyao can even give a solo recital, so you must be quite good too, right?"

Zheng Shuying deliberately turned the topic to Su Yanqing by finding someone to help her.

Without waiting for Su Yanqing's response, Zheng Shuying said coldly, "She doesn't even have a job right now."

When these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions, which was quite intriguing.

One of them is an adopted daughter who was extremely lucky to be adopted by a wealthy family and had a lot of good resources but performed mediocrely.

As for the other one, he is a real piece of gold that has been displaced since childhood and lives in difficult conditions, but he can still shine. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is good and who is bad.

"Well, let Yaoyao play a song for everyone."

Zheng Shuying suggested.

When the people around heard this, they cheered and surrounded Su Xiyao as she walked onto the stage.

Su Xiyao lifted her skirt, bowed slightly, and then sat in front of the shiny black piano. She took a deep breath, then moved her fingers lightly, and the melodious and pleasant tune filled the entire hall.

The guests listened and were amazed.

"It's truly worthy of its reputation. Those who are recommended to attend Beijing Conservatory of Music are indeed outstanding. In comparison, the Su family spent so much money, and that adopted daughter barely passed. I think it's understandable that Madam Su never mentions her daughter outside."

"Look at that adopted daughter, dressed up like a freak, trying to compete with Miss Su in style. A pheasant is still a pheasant after all. Even if it is raised in a phoenix nest, its nature cannot change."

Su Yanqing held the wine glass in her hand and swayed it casually.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Those were just little lies told to attract Zheng Shuying's attention.

Since she was a child, she tried her best to become excellent, just hoping that Zheng Shuying would pay more attention to her. However, no matter how hard she tried, Zheng Shuying was always cold to her.

On the day when the college entrance examination scores were announced, she thought that if she said she failed the exam, she would get more care from Zheng Shuying, but she was ignored.

Looking back now, I was so ridiculous back then.

"Clap clap-"

Thunderous applause brought Su Yanqing back to reality from her memories.

Su Xiyao was surrounded by voices of praise.

Suddenly, someone raised their voice and pointed at Su Yanqing: "Isn't the adopted daughter of the Su family also learning piano? I heard she hasn't found a job yet. Why don't you play a piece for Yaoyao to give her some pointers?"

Su Yanqing once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

"You guys are kidding. My sister is a professional, so I should learn from her."

Su Xiyao waved her hands quickly, looking a little flustered.

"Miss Su is too modest. I remember a few years ago, there was a piano prodigy who was recommended by two major universities and three art academies. Everyone said that such a genius was rare. Since Miss Su was recommended by the Beijing Conservatory of Music, she must be a prodigy in the field of music."

"It's a pity that I gave up the recommendation to go to Beijing Conservatory of Music, but fortunately my sister is a graduate of that school. There is a strong artistic atmosphere there, and she must be much better than me."

Su Xiyao walked to Su Yanqing's side while talking, and said in a half-coquettish tone: "Sister, why don't you play a song too, so that I can see it."

Su Yanqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

The darkness in her heart was exposed, but Su Xiyao did not panic. She lowered her eyes in grievance: "Sister, why do you think of me like this? I sincerely want to regard you as my role model."

"Okay, look carefully."

Su Yanqing readily agreed, walked calmly to the stage, and sat down next to the piano.

The black piano formed a sharp contrast with her white dress, especially the moment her slender fingers fell on the keys, the entire stage seemed to become her territory.

As the first notes flowed gently, the guests in the hall seemed to have pressed the mute button, their mouths automatically turned off, and there was silence.

Su Yanqing closed her eyes and immersed herself in the piano keys with her fingertips. The melodious and ethereal melody seemed to bring her into a dreamland.

The whole world seemed to shrink smaller and smaller, and in the end, only the woman playing the piano on the small stage was left.

The guests went from initial amazement to enjoyment, and only when the last note faded away did they slowly withdraw from the lingering music.

“Awesome!”

I don’t know who shouted it out first, but then there was a wave of applause that lasted for a long time.

Su Yanqing leaned slightly towards the zither, her eyes half-smiling as she passed through the crowd, stopping at the pale-faced Su Xiyao. The corners of her mouth curled up, "Have you learned it?"

Su Xiyao opened her eyes wide, her eyeballs trembling slightly.

What's going on? Ah Xuan clearly said that Su Yanqing's piano skills are average among people of the same major. How could this be possible...

Zheng Shuying's brows were furrowed at this moment.

Even though she didn't know much, she could tell that Su Yanqing's piano skills were better than Yaoyao's, but she clearly remembered that Su Yanqing didn't even qualify for admission to Beijing Conservatory of Music.

"I heard that my sister always got average scores in piano exams when she was in college. Beijing Conservatory of Music is really full of hidden talents. Even I am beginning to regret not insisting on taking the entrance exam."

Su Xiyao said regretfully.

"How could someone with this level not even be ranked at the Beijing Conservatory of Music? The Beijing Conservatory of Music truly lives up to its reputation. I can't help but wonder if those who were recommended for admission are even more impressive. It seems Miss Su was just testing the waters just now and hasn't really put her skills to good use yet."

Su Xiyao just smiled and said, "Sister is really amazing."

This is equivalent to indirectly acknowledging the other party's point of view.

"Humph."

A sneer sounded particularly harsh in the suddenly silent air.

A middle-aged man in casual clothes sat next to a camera stand, legs crossed, and snorted, "Miss Su, do you think no one here understands? Your performance was indeed quite pleasant, and I could tell you were familiar with the piece, but it was too superficial."

"Ms. Yanqing's interpretations are mature and outstanding, touching the heart. This is a talent that many pianists pursue their entire lives but cannot achieve. Therefore, if Miss Yanqing's ability is only in the middle or lower ranks at the Beijing Conservatory of Music, then the Beijing Conservatory of Music has long been a world-class art hall."

The middle-aged man's professional comments contrasted sharply with his slightly unruly appearance, making everyone doubt the credibility of his words.

Until someone recognized him.

"Is this Luo Jing?

That nationally famous reporter."

"Yes, yes, that's him. I heard that he interviewed many important people and even got an exclusive interview with President Xiao. I never thought the Su family would invite him."

Zheng Shuying and Su Xiyao both looked puzzled.

They did not invite Luo Jing, but he showed up and brought his own equipment, so there is only one possibility - Luo Jing was invited by Fang Jingxuan.

Realizing this, the mother and daughter immediately relaxed.

Although Luo Jing is no longer a journalist, he still has many fans on social platforms, and many people believe in his words and opinions.

No matter what, as long as Luo Jing determines that Su Yanqing is the third party, it will be extremely difficult for Su Yanqing to turn things around.
