Chapter 141 - Counterattack

The guests on stage heard Zhang Jing's words and applauded the two of them.

"Sorry everyone, I don't know these instruments very well, so let Miss Zhang play for you." Li Zhuoen said and tried to break Zhang Jing's hand to come down.

"There is no need for Miss Li to be modest, to be the wife of Mr. Cen Yuhao, the Vice President of Cen Group, she must be proficient in everything from the piano and chess to calligraphy and painting, I hope you will appreciate the honor to play a song with me." Zhang Jing held her hand in a deadly grip.

The guests on stage were unaware that she was Cen Yuhao's wife, and when they heard Zhang Jing's words, they looked over in Li Zhuoen's direction expectantly.

This is becoming more and more complicated, she moved Cen Yuhao out, the meaning is already very obvious, if she just walks off the stage, or performs badly, can lose not her face alone, but will be lost together with Cen Yuhao's face! Li Zhuoen bit her lips and thought in her heart.

"If Miss Li didn't say anything, I'll take you as an agree oh!" Zhang Jing smiled and walked to Li Zhuoen's side, "May I ask if you are better at piano or violin? I'll let you pick first!"

She finished and looked at her with a smile as if she had given her some great favor.

"I ......" Li Zhuoen looked at the piano placed on the stage, and then at the violin next to it.

"Forget it, I'd rather not embarrass you, or you can play the violin! An instrument like the piano is only suitable for people with long fingers." Li Zhuoen could not easily make up her mind to play with her in the ensemble, and was about to make a choice when Zhang Jing interrupted her and said.

Uh, what do you mean "only people with long fingers are suitable" ah! She was obviously scolding my fingers for being short! Li Zhuoen is really speechless to this called Zhang Jing. The guy Cen Yuhao was so blind in the past that he would look at such a woman ah!

"You must not be unfamiliar with the world-famous song 'Canon', or else, how about we play this one together in an ensemble?" Zhang Jing said to her, having sat down on the piano chair.

This person's ability to talk to herself is even better than Cen Yuhao's! Li Zhuoen looked over towards her, while she was still smiling at herself as she did just now. Damn, why does she want to hit her so badly!

Looking at Li Zhuoen still standing in the same place, Zhang Jing was sure that she would not dare to go forward to pick up the violin because she did not know how to do it, and was secretly pleased with herself. A wild child raised in an orphanage, how dare she think she can match Cen Yuhao! Let me teach you a good lesson today, so you know how big the difference between you and me really is!

Li Zhuoen looked up and saw Cen Yuhao standing outside the crowd, even though he was far away, she recognized him right away. It seems that after being with him for so long, she really hasn't played for him yet, or else she would have performed for him while she was there!

Cen Yuhao stood at a distance, looking at Li Zhuoen frozen there, he knew she must not, and was about to ask Li Xu to take him over, but he saw her glance in his direction, then clenched her fist a little, and went in the direction of the violin!

What does this little ninny want? Does she really want to play? Seeing that she had already picked up the violin, Cen Yuhao had a bad feeling, he wouldn't mind being told if he couldn't, but it would be really humiliating if he did it the hard way! He really regrets leaving Li Zhuoen here alone, he just left for a short while, and she is in trouble again! Cen Yuhao wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

Not bad, even dare to accept the challenge, Zhang Jing watched her pick up the violin, so smiled a little, put her fingers on the keys, and began to play.

As the piano sounded, Li Zhuoen set the violin between her neck and shoulder, picked up the bow and, began to play.

She can play the violin! Zhang Jing was really surprised when she heard the sound of the violin she played. If she could play, it would be fine, but she was so skilled! With this level, it was more than enough to pass the tenth grade! Because she was so surprised, she actually played several notes in the middle wrongly.

Li Zhuoen set up her violin and closed her eyes, completely immersed in the land of music. She imagined herself on a peaceful sea, all around her, with seagulls flying by from time to time. Her arms were long and slender, and she played the violin with unparalleled grace.

All the men in the room looked in her direction, while Zhang Jing was sadly reduced to her sidekick.

As the last note fell, the guests erupted in applause for her.

Not bad, Li Zhuoen, I can't believe you still have some merits! Standing outside the crowd, Cen Yuhao looked at her, who seemed to be shining with a spotlight, and couldn't help but applaud her.

Originally, Zhang Jing was very confident, even the teacher who gave her music lessons said she was very talented in music, but because Li Zhuoen played too well, overshadowing the halo that should have belonged to her. Looking at the eyes of the stage are into Li Zhuoen's side, Zhang Jing is very unconvinced.

"Thank you all! Seeing that everyone is so happy, how about Miss Li and I switch instruments again and play an ensemble song?" Zhang Jing stood up and asked the guests on stage.

"Good!" The guests on stage originally came to such a party and felt quite bored, so they were naturally happy to find some fun in their hearts.

This woman does not know how to stop? Li Zhuoen just put down the violin and heard her say that again, her heart was very hot.

"Miss Li, please!" Zhang Jing made a "please" gesture to her, with a confident smile on her face.

Okay, you started this, so you can't blame me! Li Zhuoen really couldn't stand her anymore, so she graciously walked to the piano chair and sat down: "Since Miss Zhang thinks so highly of me, let's play another song together! You ordered the piece just now, let me order it this time instead, how about a piece of Maxim's "Croatian Rhapsody"?"

Is this woman crazy? That song is so fast, does she really know it?

With a skeptical attitude, Zhang Jing nodded: "Okay, I'm all free!" Li Zhuoen, I'd like to see how well you'll play this piece when you say so confidently that you'll play it! She was curious to see how well she could play it.

"Okay, let's get started then!" Li Zhuoen smiled at her.

She took a deep breath and put her fingers on the keys, she hadn't played for so long, she hope she wasn't rusty yet! She looked at the keys and began to play.

Listening to her already start to play up, Zhang Jing only then some panic to set up the violin.

Gradually, Li Zhuoen found her feeling and began to speed up more and more, her fingers kept bouncing on the keys with agility.

How can this woman play so skillfully! Zhang Jing wanted to catch up, but the faster she tried to go, the more her hands became disobedient, pulling several wrong notes in a row, and could only stop and listen to Li Zhuoen playing alone.

At the end of the song, the guests on stage erupted in applause even louder than earlier. Her playing was not at all inferior to any of the pianists today!

Li Zhuoen got up, walked gracefully to the front of the stage, made a thank you gesture to the guests on stage, then left Zhang Jing there and walked off stage alone.

How is it possible! Zhang Jing was still frozen there, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. A woman who grew up in an orphanage had killed her in both piano and violin! How could she accept this! The original intention was to let her make a fool of herself in front of so many people, to let Cen Yuhao know that only she was worthy of him, but instead, she made a fool of herself and let everyone know that Cen Yuhao had a very cultured wife!

After listening to Li Zhuoen's playing, Cen Yuhao was completely enchanted. He really didn't see before that she had such a great talent in music?

"Not a bad performance!" Cen Yuhao let Li Xu help himself to Li Zhuoen's face.

"It's not bad, huh?" Li Zhuoen actually wanted to hear him praise her, but the guy just said "not bad" and sent her away.

"Or what?" Cen Yuhao asked her rhetorically.

"Didn't you just hear the applause of those guests? How enthusiastic it was! It means I played very well!" Li Zhuoen always wanted to get his affirmation, at least in one way, and she wanted to be able to make him proud of her.

"Didn't hear that!" Cen Yuhao said tongue-in-cheek.

"Don't you always say you have good ears? So much applause, you didn't even hear it?" Compared to Zhang Jing's contempt for her just now, Cen Yuhao's ignorance made her feel angrier.

"Hmm." He simply answered her with one word.

Ahhhh, she's so angry! It's so hard to hear a word of praise from him!

"I can't imagine that Mrs. Cen's attainment in music is so high!" Qiao Kecheng smiled and walked over in their direction.

"Mr. Qiao is flattered, I just play casually." Li Zhuoen modestly replied, but in his heart, he was thinking, Hear that Cen Yuhao, even Mr. Qiao is praising me!

"Mrs. Cen is really modest," Qiao Kecheng chuckled, "I wonder which famous music school you graduated from?"

"No, actually I just graduated from an ordinary college, and music is just a hobby of mine." Li Zhuoen returned. In fact, she has been interested in music since she was a child, a volunteer at the orphanage saw it and gave her an old electronic piano, and since then she has fallen in love with it like an addiction. Later, when she went to college, she only minored in piano and violin, considering the difficulty of finding a job in music. Chen Meng also said that she was most beautiful when she played the piano and violin, and because of this, they met.

So since she learned about Chen Meng's deception, she discarded this hobby along with her own.

"Could Mrs. Cen play so well without being instructed by a senior person?" Qiao Kecheng was incredulous.

"It's okay, I'm just more interested in that." Li Zhuoen said back.

"When I see you, I think of my son." Qiao Kecheng smiled at her lovingly.

"Then your son must be very excellent!" Li Zhuoen praised from the bottom of his heart.

"He was indeed very good!" The light in Qiao Kecheng's eyes dimmed, "But he passed away more than twenty years ago due to illness."

"I'm really sorry, I didn't know ......" Li Zhuoen knew she had said the wrong thing and tried to apologize to him.

"It's okay, it was actually a long time ago," Qiao Kecheng smiled, then turned to look at

Cen Yuhao, "Vice President Cen is really lucky to be able to marry a wife like your wife!"

"I think so, too." Cen Yuhao said, reaching out to gather her to his side.

"I think I still have some things to do, so excuse me first." After Qiao Kecheng finished speaking, he walked outside.

"It feels like old Mr. Qiao is also a person with a story." Looking at Qiao Kecheng's distant back, Li Zhuoen said.

Cen Yuhao stared at Li Zhuoen, why was Qiao Kecheng who has an eccentric temperament become a talkative person to her?
