Chapter 590: Guest Pianist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liujing Club, one of the most exclusive clubs in the city.

Water flowed down behind the large glass curtain. In the fake hills and lush bamboo forest, there was a beautiful grand piano. A pianist was focused as he played a beautiful melody. Xia Ling held a glass of white wine and listened intently as she leaned against the crystal railings on the second floor.

The pianist hired by this club was very good.

In this era, there were very few people could play Bach so well. His piano playing sounded solemn and divine. It caused people to forget about fame and fortune and washed away all distracting thoughts in their hearts.

Li Lei stood by her side. “We can listen to piano playing anywhere. Don’t forget the reason why we’re here today. Go to the private room. If you like this pianist, I can invite him for a private performance in the future.”

Xia Ling already knew that Big Boss Li had zero knowledge of music and silently rolled her eyes at him. “Good music is found by chance, not by searching. You can go in first. Besides, the people we are waiting for are not here yet. I will go in after listening to it for a while more. Oh yes, please also help me bring this glass of wine in.”

“What are you going to do?” Li Lei took her half-finished wine glass and asked.

“I’m going downstairs to talk to that pianist.” Today, she wore a dress and was not carrying a bag. At this time, she directly went for Li Lei’s pocket and took out a hundred yuan from his wallet. “I’ll return it to you when I get back.”

Li Lei didn’t care if she returned him the money, but he minded that...

She went downstairs and walked to the elegant silver-white grand piano to talk to the pianist. She placed the one hundred yuan into his container on the piano.

Was this girl using his money to hook up with some other handsome guy?

Li Lei was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

On the other hand, the pianist did not seem to notice Xia Ling approaching him. With an elegant posture and focus, he performed an entire song. Finally, he looked up and smiled courteously at Xia Ling. “Thank you.”

“You played very well.” Xia Ling said, “This is the first time I heard someone play Bach so well.”

“Are you Miss Ye Xingling?” That pianist recognized her. After hearing her compliment, he smiled more sincerely. “I listened to your songs before and didn’t expect that you would know about baroque songs too.”

Xia Ling also smiled. “Actually, I really like to listen to baroque music. There are pure power and beauty in songs from that era. They’re not as impetuous as music nowadays. At that time, more people regarded music as something sacred.”

Both of them got along and started talking.

Li Lei observed them from the second floor and gritted his teeth harder, but he did not dare to interrupt them. He knew that he lacked musical knowledge and would embarrass Xiao Ling if he went downstairs. He could only tolerate it, pretend that he did not see it, and quietly went to the private room.

Xia Ling happily chatted with the pianist for some time. They talked about Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, and Liszt. She was impressed with his profound and keen musical insights, and as he rarely met people who were knowledgeable about music, he was also very happy and even taught her a few piano playing skills.

Xia Ling tried to improvise on the piano.

“Not bad.” That pianist said, “Miss Ye, you have not received professional training for this piece. Otherwise, in time, I’m sure that you can also become a master.”

Xia Ling was elated after hearing that and played more energetically.

At this time, the pianist’s cell phone started to ring. He glanced at it, apologized to Xia Ling and walked away to answer the phone. Xia Ling was left alone and played a moving melody on the silver-white grand piano.

The rotating doors of the hall opened.

A father and his daughter walked in.

The man was dressed in a black suit. Although he was middle-aged, he looked majestic. Beside him, a girl in a red high-end mini dress linked arms with him. Her make up was bright, and she looked noble and inviolable.

“Today, Young Master Li invited us to dinner, so you have to behave well.” That man advised his daughter. “Qingya, you have many sisters, but I have high hopes for you. You mustn’t disappoint your father and strive to win Young Master Li’s heart. You will only be able to enjoy the rest of your life if you marry into the Li Family, understand?”

“Dad, I understand.” Nangong Qingya said. “Young Master Li is also very fond of me. You see, we only went on two dates, but he’s already inviting me for dinner and even wants to meet you. I’m sure it’s because he wants to tie me down.”

The middle-aged man nodded and a smile appeared on his face.

It was said that Second Young Master Li was the most outstanding in the younger generation of men. Sure enough, he invited them to eat at the Liujing Club, a high-end venue, which caused his daughter to think highly of him.

It seemed that the marriage between the two families was about to become a success.

“When you meet later, you have to be more reserved and don’t act so desperate for Second Young Master Li. Otherwise, you will be wrapped around his finger. A daughter from our Nangong Family is not so easily obtained.” The middle-aged man said gleefully.

“I understand, dad.” There was a trace of restraint and pride in Nangong Qingya’s voice. She was very proud of her feminine charm. “In fact, I already established the boundaries during the few times we met. You see, there are many girls who are going after Second Young Master Li, but in the end, he fell into my grasp.”

The middle-aged man patted his daughter’s hand in relief.

“You also can’t let your guard down. There are so many girls eyeing him, for example, that girl who was rumored... What’s her name? Ye Xingling? You have to pay more attention.”

“Of course, I will. Isn’t she just a small star?” Speaking of Ye Xingling, anger rushed up to Nangong Qingya. She had not settled her score with her at the sexy underwear shop yet. How was that ordinary singer qualified to act high and mighty in front of her? After she married Li Lei and became the lady boss of Skyart Entertainment, she would like to see how that small star would react!

Nangong Qingya imagined how it would be like to destroy her opponent when that time came.

Piano music filled the hall like flowing water which sounded like paradise.

Unknowingly, Nangong Qingya looked in the direction of the piano music and saw Xia Ling. Speak of the devil! Why did she have to see that hateful woman playing the piano when she just thought of her?

Her expression darkened.

“What’s wrong?” The middle-aged man sensed that something was wrong with his daughter and asked.

Nangong Qingya slightly raised her chin and pointed in the direction of Xia Ling. “She is Ye Xingling.”

Ye Xingling?

The middle-aged man’s face fell as well. He knew that that female star and his future son-in-law had an ambiguous relationship and could not help but stare at her.

He saw her wearing a beautiful dress and playing a silver-white gorgeous grand piano elegantly. Her long hair was loosely tied into a bun, and a hibiscus flower was casually attached to it. She looked quiet yet beautiful.

“An act is an act.” Nangong Qingya said scornfully. “She’s probably here to sell art.”
