Chapter 108: Onstage

“Youran…”

Lu Qingzhuo held He Youran’s hand worriedly.

He didn’t care if He Youran knew how to play the violin or not. He liked her not because of these things.

“It’s fine, don’t worry.”

He Youran let him hold her hand and asked gently, “Is there a violin here?”

She didn’t think that attending a party would bring about such a circumstance, so she wasn’t prepared at all.

“Yes.”

There was a band playing before the party started, so it wasn’t difficult to find a violin.

When he found out that Tang Yiqing was going to compete with He Youran, he asked Pang Zhong to borrow one, but… he was worried about He Youran.

He didn’t care if he would be laughed at, but he was afraid that He Youran’s face would be hurt and she would be sad.

“Mr. Lu, trust your wife a little more.”

He Youran withdrew her hand from his palm and winked at him playfully.

“Of course I trust you.” Lu Qingzhuo smiled.

He knew that he was too nervous. His performance was worse than a young boy who was just beginning to fall in love, but he was willing to do this.

He raised his hand and gestured for Pang Zhong to pass the violin he found to He Youran. He said gently, “Go, my Mrs. Lu.”

He Youran held the violin and was about to walk up to the stage.

When she passed Chen Man, Chen Man reached out to stop her. He Youran raised her eyebrows and asked silently.

“He Youran, are you really going up on stage?”

“What else?” He Youran asked.

“He Xue’er said that you’ve never touched a musical instrument since you were young! I advise you not to overestimate yourself!” Chen Man deliberately lowered her voice.

“Oh?” He Youran was confused. “Didn’t you start all of this, Miss Chen? If I don’t know how to play, you should be happy.”

“You!” Chen man gritted her teeth. “I’m trying to advise you not to act tough if you don’t know how. As long as you apologize to Sister Yaoxing, I will let her tell Tang Yiqing that today’s competition is just a simple performance!”

“Why should I apologize?” He Youran was confused. “The master hasn’t even said anything yet, a dog like you is already acting for her?”

The Lu family and the He family had their own matters to discuss. The engagement was broken off, so they should apologize and make up for it. What was Chen Man? Since when was it her turn to talk about such matters?

In He Youran’s eyes, Chen Man was just like a clown.

From the beginning until now, she had never offended Chen Man directly. But, she was like a wild dog who smelled meat, barking at her whenever it caught sight of her.

If the time was short, she would still have the fun of teasing her. But, if the time was long, it would turn into annoyance.

“Don’t disturb me. I still have to go on stage.”

He Youran felt that it was dirty to even touch her. So, He Youran carefully walked around Chen Man’s outstretched arm and slowly went on stage.

After she went on stage, the effect was naturally not as enthusiastic as Tang Yiqing’s.

After all, most people were just here to watch the show.

Especially the Lu family in the imperial capital. This was a rare sight.

Whether it was business competitors or people with ulterior motives, they were all looking forward to seeing the Lu family suffer.

He Youran didn’t care what the people below the stage were thinking.

She was still fiddling with the strings, trying to feel them.

After she got used to the new violin, she sat up straight. At this moment, a beam of light came down on her, enveloping her in a halo.

She was wearing a light blue dress that gradually changed color. The perfect light outlined her graceful figure. Her eyelids drooped slightly. Her curly eyelashes were reflected perfectly. Her porcelain-white face was so beautiful that it was soul-stirring. People couldn’t help but hold their breath.

At this moment, even those who did not like He Youran had to admit that she was very beautiful.
