Chapter 414 - 414: Miss Xu’s Gift
Inside the gift box was a gold-gilded, hollowed-out leaf bookmark. At the end of the bookmark was a tassel that hung a very expensive pink gem.
“You were so impulsive back then. Who can you blame now?””
Xu Yingying was frustrated. “l just feel bad right now. I’ve misunderstood her for ten years and even hit her. I have to apologize to her. Whether she accepts it or not, I have to apologize. As for this gift, I specially made it for Ye Beisheng. If she doesn’t want it, I’ll throw it away.”
At this moment, a maid shouted from outside the door with an ugly expression, “Young miss.”
“What are you doing?” Xu Yingying turned around.
The maid looked very anxious and careful, afraid that she would make this young lady unhappy. “The outside world seems to know…l know you’ve prepared a gift.”
“What happened?” Xu Yingying felt guilty. “Did everyone know that I was going to give Ye Beisheng a gift?”
“No, it’s not…” The maid stuttered. “There’s a rumor going around that you’ll have to give a gift to whoever has the best piano performance at the Old Master and Old Madam’s wedding anniversary banquet later…”
Who was the one who spreaded such news?!
Grandpa and Grandma liked the piano, so they also arranged activities to play the piano to liven things up.
However, she had never said that the person who played the piano the best would get the present in her hand. This present was clearly custom-made for Ye Beisheng!
Madam Xu also realized that something was wrong. “Yingying, come out with me to see who’s spreading the rumors.”
In the banquet hall of the Xu family’s villa.
Su Wanyun smiled as she held her wine glass. A middle-aged man stood beside her.
Xu Yingying recognized him. He was a famous music producer who had composed many famous songs. He had also studied under a famous pianist. Now that the composer had passed away, he had inherited his mantle and become the number one pianist in the country.
Now that he was standing beside Su Wanyun, someone exclaimed in surprise, “Master Lin, you’re here too. I’ve heard a lot about you. Have you also heard about the gift that Miss Xu prepared today?”
Madam Xu narrowed her eyes.
Lin Yafeng spoke casually, “I’m old. How can I still accept Miss Xu’s gift? I’ll leave it for the young ones. Perhaps you can give it a try, Ms. Su?’!
Everyone’s gaze fell on Su Wanyun.
The scandal of the Su family offending Song Zheng had also spread among the upper class.
Lin Yafeng relied on his seniority in the music industry. Even if he was dissatisfied with Song Zhengs actions, Song Zheng couldn’t ban him.
“Miss Su, just give it a try. Don’t give up on yourself just because of a few words from Musician Song. I’ve seen your piano skills. If you ask me, you would be better than anyone else in this room.”
Su Wanyun blushed. “Mr. Lin, don’t say that. Although I love music, I’ve never thought of using it to compete for anything. Besides, Song Zhengs sister is here today. l…”
Unexpectedly, after saying this, Producer Lin snorted disdainfully.
Everyone whispered to each other. Could it be that Song Zhengs sister’s musical attainments weren’t high?
Xu Yingying frowned. Su Wanyun and Lin Yafeng were saying that Su Wanyun was good at playing the piano but on the other hand, Ye Beisheng was not.
Were they saying that only Su Wanyun was worthy of her gift?
But this gift was meant for Ye Beisheng.
Xu Yingying was about to step forward when Madam Xu grabbed her wrist..
