Chapter 815: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (11)
Kowtow?
That’s a big bet!
Zhuang Nainai was slightly caught off guard. However, upon seeing Xiao Caibai’s look, she bit her lips forcefully.
Xiao Caibai said, “If you feel like you have been put on the spot, you can take some time to think. I’ll play a piano piece for everyone first.”
After she finished speaking, she walked toward the piano on stage. She pressed her lavish fingers on the keys casually, and beautiful notes were produced.
After she tested the keys, she smiled and played a piano piece for everyone immediately. Melodious music was produced as her fingers danced on the piano keys.
It seemed like she was just playing the piano casually, but the music produced was so good that it left everyone wanting more.
After she finished playing the piano, she walked down from the grand stage and said, “If you think that what I played was nice, please raise your hand. I will get someone to tabulate the numbers.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present raised their hands.
Except for Zhuang Nainai and Cheng Sizhe, unsurprisingly.
As Zhuang Nainai watched on, she could not help but furrow her brows. When Xiao Caibai was playing the piano, she was still pondering about what she should perform to intimidate her.
However, at this point in time, she suddenly realized that Xiao Caibai was actually not competing based on her piano piece. She was actually competing based on her connections and social status!
Her status was remarkable. None of the guests present would be daring enough to not show her support.
And what about her?
She simply shook these thoughts off and scanned the surroundings. At last, her gaze landed on the piano.
She walked up slowly and sat where Xiao Caibai had been sitting. Thereafter, she stretched out her hands slowly.
A big-ticket item, like a piano, was definitely something that her family could not afford.
She’d acquired her knowledge of the piano during the Imperial Group’s piano lessons. After she found out that every member of the upper-class society had to know how to play the piano, and at the thought of how she was going to spend the rest of her life with Si Zhengting, she had been working very hard to learn the piano.
Until one day, her fingers became riddled with scars.
What did Si Zhengting say after he found out about it?
He held her hands and told her in his usual nonchalant voice that she did not have to learn all these things.
However, she persevered as she thought that she ought to be able to play something if someone were to ask her to play the piano when she attends events in the future.
Then, Si Zhengting told her that she could just try her best to learn one piece.
Hence, she had been practicing that one piece he had taught her. He’d watched her improve bit by bit.
However, five years had passed. Could she still remember everything?
Zhuang Nainai closed her eyes and placed her hands on the piano. Her memory, which was initially already foggy, became clear suddenly.
“When playing this part, go slow. Control the tempo.”
She pressed her fingers on the piano keys.
Melodious music was produced again.
Although the sound produced seemed somewhat shaky, each note was emotionally-charged. Furthermore, after the shaky start, the sound produced became smoother. As the piano melody resounded in the air, the music reached the lounge.
Si Zhengting, who was in the lounge, was stunned when he heard the melody.
After she finished playing, Cheng Sizhe raised up his hands and clapped with all he had.
However, under Xiao Caibai’s supervision, no one dared to raise their hands.
They couldn’t help it!
Although Cheng Sizhe was also a respectable figure, he was trying to start his own business right now!
Meanwhile, Xiao Caibai… had a status that was on par with Mr. Si’s!
They really couldn’t afford to offend the Xiao family!
Standing on the stage, Zhuang Nainai looked at Cheng Sizhe, who was clapping alone below the stage. She frowned, not knowing how she felt about this.
Xiao Caibai looked at her with a smile on her face. It seemed like she never really cared about her. She said casually, “Miss, since you’ve lost, please kowtow to me now.”
Just then, a deep and mature male voice suddenly sounded from the lounge. “Who says that she has lost?”
