Chapter 360: Prove The Rumors Wrong

Zhao Qinghui sneered.
“Miss Qiao, there’s no need to be humble.
You were young back then, but you had already displayed your talent in playing the violin.
Three years is enough for you to learn something.
Your standard might not be as good as Mengqing’s, but even if you can’t play well, we won’t laugh at you.
We’ll even help you improve.
Or are you looking down on me, Miss Qiao?”

Everyone had different expressions after hearing this.

The greatest taboo in the music industry was disrespecting one’s seniors.
Zhao Qinghui was a famous musician in the country.
He could be seen on all major programs.
If others found out that Qiao Xi looked down on this senior, they would definitely curse her to death!

Qiao Xi smiled indifferently and turned to look at Gu Zheng.
“Ah Zheng, should I perform?”

Everyone’s gaze landed on Gu Zheng.

Yao Mengqing’s heart pounded violently as her body trembled.

Gu Zheng slowly looked up, his cold eyes scanning the crowd before finally landing on Yao Mengqing.
“You want to compete with my wife?”

Everyone gasped and looked at Yao Mengqing.

Yao Mengqing choked and suppressed the trembling of her body.
She revealed a smile that she thought was beautiful and said gently, “President Gu, this isn’t a competition.
It’s just that I’ve never heard Xi Xi play before and want to see it for myself.
Although Xi Xi is your wife, everyone is saying that she’s useless.
I just want everyone to see that Xi Xi is not completely clueless.
She knows how to play the violin.

“I also heard that Old Madam Li likes the violin very much.
If Xi Xi can play it well, she can also perform well in front of Old Madam Li.
That’s a good thing.”

Her words were very appropriate and there was nothing wrong with them.

Everyone discussed softly.

When they came to attend the birthday banquet, they had heard that Gu Zheng would be attending the banquet with his wife.
They had never heard of Gu Zheng’s marriage, so they were all very curious about who this Mrs.
Gu was.
Who knew that she was actually the legendary country bumpkin, Qiao Xi?

“Miss Yao is right.
Qiao Xi’s reputation is indeed bad.
Even though it’s all the Qiao family’s fault for abandoning her in the countryside and not nurturing her according to the standards of a noble daughter, it’s a fact she grew up in the countryside.”

“Maybe it’s because of Qiao Xi’s identity that President Gu is hiding his marriage.
Otherwise, why didn’t he announce it?”

Gu Zheng’s expression was cold.

He had never thought of hiding it from anyone.
Qiao Xi was the one who did not want to announce it.

However, it was a good thing that things had come to this.
He could not force Mrs.
Gu, so he took this opportunity to get her to take the initiative to announce it.

Qiao Xi blinked.
“Miss Yao, you’re really gossipy! You keep hearing rumors.
I’m very curious about what you’ve heard?”

Yao Mengqing lowered her head awkwardly.
“Uh…”

“That you don’t have the manners and talent of a socialite!” the woman beside Yao Mengqing blurted out.

“The women here are all daughters of rich families.
We’ve been living in luxury since we were young and learned how to play musical instruments.
You grew up in the countryside, so it’s inevitable that you smell like dirt.
Mengqing is also doing all this for your sake.
She knows that you’re ignorant and incompetent, so she wants to help you prove the rumors wrong!”

Qiao Xi smiled.
“Oh… I see! Then I really have to thank Miss Yao!”

Yao Mengqing heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xi Xi, you’re Ah Zheng’s wife and I’m his friend.
It’s only right that I help you.
There’s nothing to thank me for.”

Zhao Qinghui said sarcastically, “Mengqing has already given you a chance.
Miss Qiao, if you don’t dare to perform on stage, that’ll really be too disappointing.
No wonder you didn’t even enter the finals back then.

“Mengqing, why don’t we forget about it? I think Miss Qiao doesn’t seem too willing…”

“Mr.
Zhao, it won’t happen.
Xi Xi is very outstanding…” Yao Mengqing pretended to be worried and hurriedly spoke up to defend her, but it was just a few casual words.

If Qiao Xi did not perform on stage, then it would solidify her reputation of being ignorant and incompetent.
Moreover, she would never be able to raise her head in front of Yao Mengqing again.

Under the tense atmosphere, Qiao Xi finally nodded.
“Alright..”
