Chapter 66 Child“s Play
"I"m sorry, I can"t seem to understand Headmistress Lu"s question?" She asked her pretending to act shocked and confused.
Just like what she expected, they will also strike at her and attempt to embarra.s.s her.
Too bad, she already sees through it.
"Oh. Teacher Shen must have forgotten to inform you, but the whole cla.s.s can"t perform tonight. She chose you to represent everyone."Headmistress Lu smiled at her like a caring mother to her beloved daughter.
Jiang Yue frown when she heard the headmistress words. Where is Shen Rong? Where is teacher Shen? Her pupil suddenly dilated when the realization hit her.
"Where are they?" Her tone is cold as she glared at Headmistress Lu. So this woman is also acquainted with Li Qiang?
"Oh.. Miss Jiang don"t be too impulsive. Just prepare yourself. The show is about to start. And oh... don"t bother calling the authorities. They will be of no use in situations like this." Then Headmistress Lu left with a smirk in her face.
Jiang Yue"s whole aura turned cold. She looks at Fu Jin that is still sitting inside the car. Headmistress Lu didn"t know that Fu Jin is still in the car listening to their conversation.
"Did you get that?" She asked. She honestly did not antic.i.p.ate that they would capture the whole cla.s.s. But she already antic.i.p.ated that someone might try and provoke her the moment she arrived.
A camera with a voice recorder is ready and running inside the bag because of this.
"Hmmm..." Fu Jin nodded."Don"t stress yourself over this. I want you to perform your best. I will take care of Miss Shen and Shen Rong. Bei Ye will accompany you to ensure your safety."
"Did you call the authorities?"
"Not the police, but I will call someone. When the time comes, you will know. That Headmistress is going to beg for your forgiveness before this night ends." Fu Jin"s sudden domineering aura startled Jiang Yue.
It seems that there are a lot of things that she needs to know about this man.
But somehow, she likes it. She likes this arrogant side of him.
"Okay, I will see you soon." She said as she leaned in to give Fu Jin a quick peck on his lips.
Jiang Yue then went to the backstage to prepare everything. Li Qiang really made sure to embarra.s.s her. They even want her to perform first.
Ahead of everyone.
She quickly changed into a purple knee-length dress that Fu Jin prepared for her. She also wore low heels that is only appropriate for playing the piano and quickly tied her hair into a comfortable braid.
Her appearance might seem to be simple, but she still looked so beautiful and elegant.
The show started with a different performance by some of the country"s top performers.
Then finally, Jing Yue"s name was called.
She walked towards the stage as she looked at the crowd in front of her. In her previous life, she often performed in front of crowds like this to compete against Jiang Mian.
This made her more confident and experience when it comes to performing.
Funny how everyone thought that she would embarra.s.s herself when she lives as an artist in her previous life.
She is so used in embarra.s.sing herself in her previous life that she already got immune to it.
Embarra.s.sment in front of the crowd? Hahaha...
Child"s play.
Jiang Yue then stood before everyone. She looked at the smirking Headmistress Lu in front of the crowd. She also saw teacher Yang who can"t seem to look at her straight in the eye.
She grabbed the mic as she started her speech. "Good Evening. My name is Jiang Yue and I will represent our cla.s.s for this presentation. I hope you will enjoy yourselves, ladies and gentlemen."
Then she bowed before she signaled some people to carry her piano over to the stage.
Her actions startled not only Headmistress Lu but also Lu s.h.i.+ who is watching in with other parents.
Li Qiang told them that Jiang Yue wouldn"t perform. So what is the meaning of this?
Headmistress Lu originally agreed to this plan because she thought that Jiang Yue will not show her face in the stage because of fear. After all, they just held everyone in her cla.s.s as a hostage.
But what is this?
Piano?
She never knew that she can play Piano.
Jiang Yue then gracefully sit in front of the Piano and took a deep breath as she closed her eyes and feel the keys in front of her.
Then the music started to fill the air without effort. Jiang Yue"s finger"s started to flew other the keys. Coaxing it, caressing the piano like it was connected to her.
She is playing one of the most difficult pieces of all time. La Campanella Etude No.3 in G sharp minor. Jiang Yue"s fingers move faster but full of grace.
Her eyes were still closed as if she already practiced playing this piece for a million times.
But who would have believed her, if she told them that she did practice this piece once in her lifetime?
Of course, that is so she could have leverage over her sister.
How naive.
Jiang Yue"s finger"s continued to glide over the keys as the notes change. Fast, slow, fast, slow. Her long fingers continued to dance as the otherworldly tone hit the ears of everyone.
The climax started to arrive as she started to nod her head as if possessed by the music.
The whole audience went into a deep trance while listening to her. This is not just a performance ah. This looks like a piano recital by an expert.
Then finally, she gives the piano a final tap.
Everyone was still in deep thought when the piece ended. Most of the people are in deep awe.
Mouth opened.
Their eyes are full of adoration.
Then Jiang Yue graciously made a bow in front of everyone as the cheers and applause started to echo all throughout the venue.
However, before the sound of cheers ended. A group of military uniformed men walked into the venue and surrounded the people at the front part of the stage including Headmistress Lu.
