Before the banquet officially started, Old Master Tao personally came over and invited Lu Zhi to sit at the main table.

Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining sat down.

Tao Niannian snorted in her heart. She couldn’t even celebrate her birthday in peace.

She could see this annoying mistress everywhere she went.

However, she could no longer be proud soon!

Tao Niannian shifted her gaze elsewhere, anticipating what would happen next.

Not long after, the host of the banquet walked to the center stage to host the banquet.

One by one, the top stars went on stage to perform.

The guests were either talking in low voices or watching the show.

When the program reached the end, the host introduced Xiao Lang very ceremoniously and then said, “Now, let’s give a warm round of applause to Mr. Xiao for his finale performance — the piano piece ‘Moonlight’.”

The guests applauded.

Xiao Lang had changed into a black tuxedo at some point in time. He looked handsome and elegant, attracting the hearts of many noble ladies.

He walked to the piano stand in the middle of the hall and started playing the piano in a very standard posture.

The beautiful sound of the piano echoed in everyone’s ears. At this moment, Xiao Lang, who looked frivolous, seemed to have a dazzling halo, making everyone unable to look away.

It had to be said that he was skillful, unlike others who did not live up to their reputation.

He had the ability to charm countless people.

Jiang Yining held her chin and listened quietly.

However, there were some who were unwilling to appreciate it.

Tao Niannian held it in for a few seconds before she broke the silence at the table. “Kexin, haven’t you been learning piano for many years? I remember that you said that you liked Brother Xiao Lang and wanted to take him as your master. Brother Xiao Lang promised me that he would play a song with me tonight. Why don’t you play for me later?”

“No, it’s such a precious opportunity. How can I snatch it from you?”

Chen Kexin rejected her verbally, but she was eager to try.

This was a good opportunity to show off.

She could let Lu Zhi see that she was more talented and outstanding than Jiang Yining!

“We’re good sisters, so what do you mean by snatching? Besides, I injured my wrist when I was practicing yesterday. It still hurts. Please, you don’t want me to embarrass myself, right?”

Tao Niannian acted coquettishly.

Chen Kexin pretended to be troubled and nodded. “Alright then.”

The two of them had just finished discussing when Xiao Lang’s performance ended.

The hall was flooded with applause, almost drowning everyone.

Xiao Lang walked down.

Tao Niannian immediately stood up and pushed Chen Kexin to him. “Brother Xiao Lang, I’m not feeling well today. I want Kexin to replace me and play with you. You two go play a song.”

Chen Kexin lowered her head shyly.

Xiao Lang readily agreed. “Alright.”

Then, he took Chen Kexin’s hand and walked back to the piano stand.

The two of them sat side by side. The handsome man and beautiful woman caused quite a commotion.

But soon, the scene fell silent again…

Because the sound of their hands playing the piano together was equally beautiful and pleasant, intoxicating people and making them unable to think about anything else.

Tao Niannian said meaningfully, “Sister Kexin is really outstanding. She’s top-notch in everything she does. Compared to her, other people are not even worthy of carrying her shoes!”

Jiang Yining knew that she was talking about her and smiled indifferently.

Lu Zhi was sitting beside Jiang Yining and naturally knew that Tao Niannian was pointing fingers at her. He said coldly, “Kexin only has skills to play the piano. There’s no soul. She does not deserve to play with Xiao Lang.”

For example, the difference between Chen Kexin and Xiao Lang’s piano skills was as big as the difference between primary school students and Ph.D. students.

Anyone who had a deeper understanding of the piano could hear the difference.

How could Tao Niannian have the cheek to praise Chen Kexin?
