1733 Side Story 2: Prime Master Yin Mingjue Pursues His Wife (2)
Xu Chang’an felt that his little great-grandson was definitely not an ordinary person. He would definitely have amazing achievements in the future and would definitely become the Xu family’s greatest pride. Amidst his joy, the old man gave this little great-grandson a very remarkable name. It was—
Xu Qingtian.
What did Qingtian mean?
It symbolized those who were the pillars of the world.
Xu Qingtian’s name sounded very imposing. Xu Langge and Zhou Qingzi actually didn’t like this name, but the old man was highly respected by the entire clan. Xu Langge and his wife couldn’t reject the name he personally came up with.
However, in private, they all called Xu Qingtian by the nickname ‘Tiantian’.
On the night Xu Qingtian was born, an auspicious phenomenon appeared in the Xu family. This was seen by everyone in the city and even appeared on the news.
Therefore, everyone thought that Xu Qingtian would become the most dazzling celebrity in the future.
Xu Qingtian had been cute since he was young. He had deep-set eyes and a straight nose. At the age of seven, he was invited to appear on the cover of the most famous magazine in the Divine Realm Continent’s entertainment industry. His superb performance in front of the camera even put professional supermodels to shame.
After Xu Qingtian appeared once when he was seven years old, he was protected by the Xu family and never appeared in the public eye again.
Everyone in the industry a.s.serted that the Xu family was going to nurture Xu Qingtian behind closed doors. When he grew up, he would amaze the world.
But…
Xu Qingtian, who was born into an art family, had no artistic talent at all. Ever since he was young, in order to unearth his artistic talent, Mr. Xu had invited many big shots in the art world for him to unearth his artistic talent.
However, reality proved that other than his face, which looked like the most perfect work of art, Xu Qingtian had no artistic talent at all.
Mr. Xu felt vexed.
How could a child of the Xu family have no artistic talent?
Could it be that his little great-grandson would never achieve anything in his life and could only rely on his ancestors’ fame to survive for the rest of his life?
When Xu Qingtian was still young, the Xu family had high hopes for him. However, as Xu Qingtian grew older and older, children of the same age displayed different artistic talents one after another, but he was still mediocre in all aspects, so the Xu family gradually stopped paying attention to him.
What about the phenomenon that appeared when he was born?
Perhaps it was a coincidence.
After confirming that Xu Qingtian really had no artistic talent, Xu Langge and his wife were also disappointed in their eldest son. One of them was the Duke of Ballet, and the other was the Queen of Cla.s.sical Dance, so how could their child be mediocre?
When Xu Qingtian was five years old, Xu Langge and his wife gave birth to a second child. It was a boy and they personally named him Xu Xingguang.
They named him Xu Xingguang because they wished that he could shine like the stars and illuminate the entire art world.
Xu Xingguang didn’t let his parents down. He was extremely talented in drawing. When he was five years old, he dipped a brush in ink and casually drew a few strokes on the paper before drawing a vivid phoenix.
And that painting was actually auctioned for a sky-high price of 80 million.
Xu Xingguang became famous overnight and became the most dazzling artist in the Xu family.
After that, Xu Xingguang displayed his extraordinary talent in music and dance. Soon, he became the center of attention wherever he went.
Xu Qingtian, who people had high hopes for, seemed even more incompetent when compared to his talented younger brother.
When Xu Qingtian was 13 years old, Mr. Xu, who had protected him since he was young, finally pa.s.sed away because of old age. After Mr. Xu pa.s.sed away, Xu Qingtian lost the family member who doted on him the most and completely became an invisible person living under his brother’s shadow.
Now, when everyone mentioned the young master of the Xu family, they thought of the young and talented Xu Xingguang.
As for Xu Qingtian, people knew very little about him.
* *
This year, Xu Qingtian was 15 years old and Xu Xingguang was 10 years old.
Today was the annual art festival of the capital’s art academy.
At the age of eight, Xu Xingguang, who had already skipped a grade and become a second-year student of the capital’s art academy, was wearing a custom-made silver diamond suit. As he stood on the brightly lit stage with a violin in his arms, he played a violin concerto that he had composed himself.
He was calm and n.o.ble, like a prince of the musical world.
Below the stage, the group of reporters invited by the academy kept pressing the shutter b.u.t.ton nonstop to take pictures of the music genius on the stage.
Xu Langge and his wife sat in the first row. As they watched their youngest son, who was playing the violin calmly, their eyes were filled with pride.
The song ended with thunderous applause.
After the performance ended, Xu Langge and his wife took the flowers backstage. They hugged Xu Xingguang warmly. Xu Langge picked Xu Xingguang up and couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss his forehead as he said, “Xingguang, you were so awesome tonight!”
Xu Xingguang was still a child, so when he heard his parents’ praise, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he quickly pursed them again. Then, he said, “I’m still young and I’ve just embarked on the musical path.”
“As expected of Xingguang, you’re so humble!”
The three of them chatted and laughed as they went to the parking lot.
After getting into the car, Xu Langge started the car and was about to leave. Xu Xingguang, who was sitting in the back, saw that the seat beside him was still empty, so he thought of something and suddenly said, “My brother hasn’t gotten into the car yet.”
Xu Langge and his wife froze.
Tonight was Xu Xingguang’s home ground. They were so focused on sending flowers to their youngest son that they forgot about their eldest son.
In fact, the couple didn’t pay much attention to their eldest son. Every day, there was a driver who sent Xu Qingtian to and from school. On the first of every month, the butler would also transfer pocket money to Xu Qingtian’s personal account. Xu Qingtian was five years older than Xu Xingguang. He was independent and mature, so he didn’t need his parents to pay special attention to him.
“Your brother might have gone back.” It was almost ten o’clock, so it was possible that Xu Qingtian had gone back himself.
Xu Xingguang nodded. “Then let’s go.”
Just like his parents, Xu Xingguang didn’t have a close relationship with his brother.
Xu Xingguang immersed himself in art, while Xu Qingtian knew nothing about art, so the two brothers didn’t have any common topics to talk about. The Xu family had many artistic geniuses, so Xu Xingguang had a closer relationship with his cousins.
The car drove out of the parking lot and towards the outside of the school.
Xu Qingtian had joined the Student Union. Every year, the Student Union a.s.sisted the school’s leaders in the art world. As the vice president of the Student Union, Xu Qingtian naturally had to stay at the performance venue to supervise. He waited for all the parents to leave. After the performing guests left their seats, he quickly ran to the parking lot. When he saw the empty parking s.p.a.ce, his eyes instantly dimmed.
He took out his phone and looked at it.
There wasn’t a single missed call or unread message.
Xu Qingtian stared at his phone for a moment before stuffing it into his pocket. Then, he carried his bag on one shoulder as he walked out of the school alone. At this moment, he received a call.
The caller ID—
Father.
After Xu Qingtian thought about it, he took the call.
