Li Beinian ridiculed her with the exact words she used to mock Li Xueqing.
Starting with the girls beside Tong Yujia, the audience started laughing.
Hearing this, Tong Yujia laughed and crossed her arms. She said in despise, “Ostentatious.”
She didn’t believe Li Beinian could play the piano.
No matter how good a front she put up, without real talent, she would fail miserably.
“What are you laughing at.” Li Beinian shrugged. “So only Tong Jiayu can play the piano? If I can play the piano it’s ostentatious?”
Tong Yujia was furious and shouted, “My name is Tong Yujia!”
Li Beinian acted like she was surprised and replied sarcastically, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Then you should begin first. If not, you will say that I’m bullying you.”
Another round of laughter erupted from the crowd.
“What is she doing, bragging like she really knows how to play the piano.”
“If we didn’t know her background, she would have fooled us.”
“What a pity, her plan is going down the drain.”
…
Some people were intimidated by her strong front. They whispered—
“So arrogant? Maybe she really has some skills?”
“She doesn’t look like she’s bluffing, but I’m not sure what’s her skill level.”
“Tong Yujia passed Grade 10 when she was only in her teens. How good can this Li Beinian be?”
“I still think she’s bluffing!”
…
The murmurs became louder. Many people were looking at Li Beinian with pity and ridicule.
Li Haoran also thought that she was being ridiculous. He frowned and said softly, “Nian Nian, do it only if you really can. No one will ridicule you if you back out.”
“That’s right, Nian Nian.” Fang Zhili echoed his sentiment. “Xueqing did learn a bit of piano. But compared to Tong Yujia, there is still some difference. As for you…”
You are no match at all.
She didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.
Lin Kerou’s expression changed as she took a few more looks at Li Beinian.
Originally, she was really intimidated by her.
But even her family was persuading her not to. This must mean that she was merely being pretentious.
Tong Yujia was afraid that Li Beinian would change her mind. She added immediately, “Okay, I’ll start first. But since this is a competition, there must be some sort of prize.”
“Prize?” The crowd was getting more excited.
Li Beinian laughed. “Normally I’m the one asking for the prize, but now you are the one asking it from me.”
“Hmph, if you lose, I want the dress on your sister. Today!” Tong Yujia pointed at Li Xueqing.
Li Xueqing did not expect her to shift her attention back to herself. She wasn’t letting her off.
She was angered and wanted to reject her.
However, Li Beinian spoke first. “Sure, bring it on.”
Li Haoran’s face turned black as he shouted, “Nian Nian!”
Fang Zhili was also furious. “Nian Nian, you…”
As for Li Xueqing, she cried. “Nian Nian…”
The crowd increased in size as they laughed and watched this family embarrass themselves.
Tong Yujia laughed out loud. “Seems like the rumor was true, the two sisters are on bad terms.”
She sat before the piano as she said it.
Tong Yujia closed her eyes and felt the keys in her hands. She then pressed her first note.
Lively music started playing from under her fingers. The music got livelier as she increased her speed.
Everyone could tell that she was a skilled pianist.
The onlookers were also looking toward the Li Family and wondering what Li Beinian would surprise them with.
