There are bodyguards around the entire villa, and the people who come here are all rich and noble. The entire banquet hall is crowded, and the servants are extra vigilant when they come and go.
Everyone who can enter the entire villa has undergone strict identity authentication, and no one will be allowed in without reason.
Under such circumstances, Li Li's harp broke.
The lounge was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
Wen Li was sitting on the sofa. There was a white harp placed on the coffee table. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, and the body lines were smooth and graceful. It could be seen that it was the work of a famous master.
The price of this harp is over ten million or even more.
However, at this moment, the middle string was broken, leaving a gap in the middle, which was a string missing.
"What's going on?" Su Jingjing raised her hand and touched it.
"I just went upstairs to ask the servants to carry the harp down. When I lifted the dustproof cloth, I saw that the strings were broken." Li Ruobing said, and she was also shocked at the time.
Li Li is going to perform with this piano later, but what should she do now that the strings are broken?
"Can't it be repaired?" Su Jingjing asked.
If the string is broken, wouldn't it be enough to patch it up again?
"You can repair it, but she is about to go on stage. It will be too late to wait until the master comes to repair it." Li Ruobing said.
Li Li's harp is maintained by a specialized piano store, which regularly visits the harp for care. There was obviously no problem when it was taken out today.
Why did the strings break in just a few hours?
"Could it be that it broke during transportation and was never found?" Xi Moqian touched the strings.
"There shouldn't be anyone deliberately sabotaging and offending the Li family. This outcome is no joke." Su Jingjing glanced at Wen Li.
Wen Li, who had remained motionless, reached out and touched the broken strings. It didn't look like it had been cut off by someone. The broken edges of the strings were somewhat torn and deformed.
It should be that the stress point is here, and it is disconnected after pulling.
Li Li fell back and sat next to Wen Li with her head hanging down, "It doesn't matter if it's bad, there's no need to go on stage."
So many people were waiting to see her perform the harp, so it's not a bad thing if it's broken now.
Anyway, she didn't want to go on stage and be watched like an elephant.
"No, there are so many people waiting for you to come on stage. Even if it's not a harp, you have to replace it with something else." Li Ruobing sat next to her sister and persuaded her earnestly, "You have also seen today's occasion. How much effort grandma has put in, you can't let grandma down."
Wen Li leaned back, closed her eyes and didn't speak for a while.
"But now the harp is broken. I can only play the harp after practicing for so many years, but nothing else." Li Li said weakly, hanging her head.
She still has some talent for painting, but she can't be allowed to go on stage with paints and paint for everyone. That would take too long.
Rather than going up and being embarrassed, it would be better not to go.
"I arranged for someone to find the piano player urgently, but it takes half an hour to get here from the city center. It's impossible to get there before Li Li takes the stage." Li Ruobing also sighed.
"You don't know anything else? Ballet or something?" Su Jingjing asked.
Xi Moqian raised her hand silently, "I can do that."
"You will be of no use." Su Jingjing was speechless.
This little ancestor.
"Knock..." The door of the lounge was knocked three times and opened from the outside.
Several people looked up, and the young man who came in was wearing a white suit, with short flaxen hair and crisp, black jade-like eyes that were as shiny as gems. He had fair skin, a handsome face, and a slight smile that brought out two faint emotions.
"What's going on?" Yun Xiao asked in confusion when she saw the gloomy girl inside.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Xi Moqian asked.
Su Jingjing looked at the young man with satisfaction in her eyes. The young man looked good, and he looked like a handsome young man.
"I'm coming up to take a look. Grandma Li asked you to get down quickly." Yun Xiao walked over to Li Li and sat down. He raised his hand and put it on the girl's forehead, rubbing it gently. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy about your birthday?"
Li Ruobing looked at Yun Xiao with a solemn expression, "The string is broken."
They all knew that Li Li was going to perform the harp on stage, but if the strings broke, wouldn't it cost someone's life?
"It's my fault too. I didn't think of preparing an extra harp." Li Ruobing blamed herself.
Yun Xiao looked at the harp with broken strings and smiled, "It's okay, we can go down and perform other things. Don't you know how to play the violin? There is a violin down there."
The performance team invited at the venue included piano, violin, and cello, but Li Li was good at the harp.
"But I don't play the violin well." Li Li raised her head.
She didn't spend as much time practicing the violin as she did the harp, and she really liked the harp more.
"It doesn't matter, I'll accompany you down in a moment." Yun Xiao said, "Just do your best in everything. It doesn't have to be perfect."
Li Ruobing's eyes lit up, "Yes, let Yun Xiao accompany you on stage."
Yun Xiao has also practiced the violin, and he plays the violin very well. He has participated in many competitions of all sizes and is one of the best in the entire imperial capital.
"You two can go up and play as a duo." Xi Moqian suggested.
As long as they are accompanied by Yun Xiao, the duo's performance is also very brilliant.
"No." Li Li refused completely, "Don't you think it makes me look more cowardly next to him?"
Li Li's words were shocking and made several people wake up.
"Yes, Li Li may not be able to keep up with Yun Xiao's rhythm, but it will be even worse." Li Ruobing said.
And there is no harm in this world without comparison. If a god-level player plays the piano next to a junior player like Li Li, doesn't it make her look even more rubbish?
Li Li lowered her head and said, "I won't go on stage with you."
She was not a fool for refusing completely. Although she was heartless, if she really performed on stage with Yun Xiao, in front of everyone, she would be able to tell what it meant.
There were rumors outside that there were signs of a marriage between the Yun family and the Li family, and Grandma did have this intention.
Although she said countless times that she had no such intention for Yun Xiao, Grandma seemed not to hear her and was immersed in her own world.
She was not willing to be arranged in the first place. If she went on stage with Yun Xiao now and lost face, the relationship between the two would become even more unclear.
"Otherwise, what should we do now? There is no other way besides this. The most important thing is to be on stage soon. Li Li, now is not the time to be willful." Li Ruobing advised.
"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you." Yun Xiao comforted her.
Xi Moqian also advised, "There is really no other way, but we still have to go up."
These words have been let out. If you don’t go on stage, there will be problems. If you go on stage, it will be a bigger problem. In short, you can’t let people go.
There are so many people waiting outside, and Li Li is the protagonist tonight.
"I've been listening for a long time, otherwise..." Su Jingjing looked at Wen Li with a malicious smile.
Xi Moqian and Li Li both looked at Wen Li, who had never said anything. Yes, they still had Wen Li. Wen Li was so powerful that she would definitely be able to come up with a solution.
"Who is this?" Yun Xiao's eyes fell on Wen Li, as if he had never seen such a face before.
There is no girl with such an outstanding appearance in the entire Imperial Capital, and he has never seen her before.
"Help them." Su Jingjing leaned over.
She is the one who knows Wen Li's strength best. She has always claimed to be good at everything, but even that little bit is enough to kill many people.
"Wen Li..." Li Li looked at Wen Li with pitiful eyes, "Can you help me?"
Xi Moqian raised her eyebrows. Could it be that Wen Li knew how to repair the harp, and was she a particularly powerful master of repairing the harp?
This is great.
Wen Li raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "How well are you in playing the violin?"
Li Li thought seriously for a while, "It should be considered the middle, lower-middle level..."
She didn't want to learn it seriously back then, so she gave up after playing it for a while. The harp was really good.
"Which piece of music do you play best?"
"Concerto No. 7..."
This is a classic violin piece, written by world-famous masters, and the most popular piece among people.
Wen Li thought for a while, "I'll go up and accompany you on a piano. You try to perform to the highest level. I'll cooperate with you and make sure you don't make mistakes."
Li Ruobing clapped her hands and nodded, "Okay, the piano and violin ensemble is perfect."
If the two different instruments are mixed, the performance will be more brilliant if it is a classic piece. And because they are different instruments, the comparison is not so obvious, and Li Li's level will not be inferior.
"I didn't expect Wen Li to play the piano." Xi Moqian was surprised.
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "She's pretty good."
She also learned it when she was in S Continent. At that time, Wen Li couldn't find anything to do, so she was bored and learned to play the piano and compose music.
One of the songs she composed seems to be famous on the Intercontinental League chart, and it is the most sung and performed song in the entire Intercontinental League so far.
Some media have made a list, and the piece written by Wen Li is recognized as having the highest value in the entire history of intercontinental music, and it is also the most touching piece of music produced in the past fifty years.
The most amazing thing is that that piece of music is actually just a semi-finished product.
She can compose music, and naturally she can also play instruments.
"Then it's settled, let's go down and prepare." Xi Moqian jumped up.
Yun Xiao looked at Wen Li with a more probing look. Where did this person come from and gain Li Li's trust so much?
There was a knock.
"Miss, it's time for you to go down, the people below are all impatient."
Li Ruobing stood up first, "I'll go down and talk to grandma first and make some arrangements. Wen Li, thank you."
Now that the matter has come to this, everyone is happy to find a solution.
"I'm going down first. You should prepare well. Now that you have found a solution, don't be afraid." Yun Xiao touched Li Li's cheek.
There were only a few of them left in the room with wide eyes and small eyes. Wen Li glanced at the three people opposite. Things that seemed to have no connection were actually connecting them all invisibly.
"There is also a pianist below. In fact, you can change with someone else." Wen Li looked at her.
Li Li shook her head, with a bright smile on her face, "If I want to go up there, I definitely can't play embarrassingly. If it were the piano players below who were invited to perform, none of them would be willing to lower their level to make me stand out, but you are different."
Wen Li is different from those pianists. Because she does not rely on this craft to make a living and does not have high artistic pursuits, she is the most suitable.
Furthermore, I don't know why, but from the first time Li Li saw Wen Li, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
It was like there was some kind of magnetic force that attracted the two of them closer.
"I believe your level will definitely amaze everyone." Su Jingjing patted Wen Li on the shoulder, which was why she asked Wen Li to help Li Li.
Wen Li smiled, the purpose of these people was really obvious.
But she didn't help Li Li on a whim.
Before leaving Ningzhou, the name she got was Li Langhua.
The guests in the entire hall had been waiting for a long time. Li Langhua glanced upstairs. Yun Xiao had already gone up just now, but no one had come down for a long time.
Li Yuanzhi stood beside his mother to comfort her, and ordered the servant to go upstairs and call her.
"Don't worry, Li Li won't slip up at the critical moment. After all, she is a child of our Li family. She can still distinguish between right and wrong." Li Yuanzhi comforted her.
Li Ruobing hurried down from upstairs and briefly explained the matter to the two elders.
"Change to an ensemble?" Li Langhua said thoughtfully, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, "But she doesn't play the violin very well."
Li Li is the protagonist tonight, and her performance is also the top priority. It can't be too bad, otherwise it will be criticized.
"It's okay, I believe in Wen Li." Li Ruobing affirmed.
Hearing this name again, Li Langhua's curiosity became more and more intense. What kind of child was this Mu family child that could make Ruobing and Li Li praise her like this?
"But wasn't Mu Wen Li found in a small mountain village after being lost for fifteen years? Can she play the piano?" Ruiqiu next to Li Langhua asked.
These related information are shown in the documents Li Yuanzhi gave to Li Langhua. Mu Wen Li was indeed a child who grew up in the mountains.
"I believe in Li Li, let's wait and see." Li Ruobing advised.
Soon the lights on the stage dimmed again, and the piano was placed on the left side of the stage. The light was cut off from here and divided into two worlds, one light and one dark. Close to the dark place, Wen Li straightened her dress and sat in front of the piano.
Looking at the girl sitting calmly, the general outline of her face could be seen in the dim light. Her face was so breathtakingly beautiful that it also surprised everyone present.
When did such a beautiful girl come in and why no one noticed.
People were coming and going all night, and people who were not deliberately public would not be noticed.
Li Li took the violin to the stage. After putting the violin on her shoulder, she looked back at Wen Li who was sitting in front of the piano.
The bow cuts across the strings, bringing out beautiful music, and then the piano rises, like a round moon rising on a calm sea.
The two cooperated to a high degree, and Li Li did her best to show off everything.
Looking at the two people on the stage, Li Ruobing had a smile on her face. Fortunately, she did not embarrass Li Li or lose the Li family's face.
Li Ruobing turned around to talk to Li Langhua, but saw a surprised look on the old man's face. She was breathing heavily and looking at the girl who was playing the piano with wide eyes.
"Grandma?" Li Ruobing called forward and hurriedly supported the old woman who was almost unable to stand.
When Li Ruobing shouted, Li Langhua broke away from her emotions, and the person in front of her disappeared. The girl sitting in front of the piano had a bright and outstanding appearance, and it was difficult to block her outstanding appearance even in dimly lit places.
Li Langhua tried her best to calm down her breath, and when she looked up again, the face was no longer the one that appeared in her mind. She gasped, seeming to comfort herself in her heart.
"Yuanzhi."
Li Yuanzhi stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"
Li Langhua looked at the people on the stage, "You said last time that you found out that she is a child of the Mu family, right?"
Li Yuanzhi nodded, "Yes, the Mu family's youngest daughter was lost when she was five years old and was found only this year."
These are all shown in the information, and Li Yuanzhi is also skeptical, but there are some things that he cannot say.
Li Langhua stared at the people on the stage, and a voice shouted in her head.
She is a child of the Mu family, how could she look so similar to...
"Have you checked everyone in the Mu family? What is her mother's name?"
Li Yuanzhi thought for a while, "The name seems to be Lu Xue."
Li Langhua recited the name silently in her heart, but her eyes were fixed on the person on the stage.
The gentle tone is like the sea level floating in the breeze, quiet and peaceful. The sudden piano sound rises suddenly, changing from tender and watery to like a storm pouring in. Li Li closes her eyes and speeds up the movements of her hands.
The sound produced by the bow is getting higher and higher, and it feels like it is cutting through the sky.
Xi Moqian folded her hands and looked at the people on the stage in surprise. She didn't expect that Wen Li, who was so powerful, could cooperate so well with Li Li.
Yun Xiao looked at the girl on the stage with a faint smile in his eyes.
"What's going on? I remember Li Li's violin playing is not very good. Why did she choose something that is not her strong point to perform today?" Yun Sheng patted his brother on the shoulder and came over.
Su Mengyi glanced at Wen Li, who was playing with Li Li on the stage. Fortunately, it was not another man who appeared on the stage, otherwise it would be unclear.
"Which family's daughter is playing the piano with her? Why do I feel like I've never seen her before?" Su Mengyi asked.
Yun Xiao shook his head, but Xi Moqian didn't say anything about it.
She just said she was their friend.
"She has such a good-looking face, and her piano playing skills are not bad either."
Farthest away from the middle of the round stage, Xi Moran, who was slowly tasting wine, glanced at the two people on the stage, took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to them.
"This sweetheart of yours is really a surprise every time I see her."
It showed that it had been received, and he quickly saw the two words that the man replied.
Overpraise.
The smile on Xi Moran's lips deepened. Wen Li was indeed a talent. No daughter of aristocratic families in the entire Imperial Capital had such courage.
Anna came from the side and sat down next to him angrily, staring at Wen Li on the stage.
She didn’t expect this person to be quite capable.
Such an occasion she can be so eye-catching.
"Master." Anna called.
Xi Moran raised his hand and showed no intention of paying attention to the woman beside him.
Anna didn't pay attention to his cold attitude and found other topics to talk about, "Master, I want you to do something for me."
Even though she was only the granddaughter of the Xi family's housekeeper, she had saved Xi Moran's life, and Xi Moran would not refuse her.
"Don't provoke her, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences." Xi Moran finished speaking before her.
Anna looked at the people on the stage in surprise, "You are..."
How did he know.
Xi Moran sneered with disdain, a stupid woman, even her expression was stupid, her eyes looking at Wen Li and Su Jingjing were filled with undisguised hatred.
He's not blind.
"Who are they?" Anna's eyes became even more filled with hatred.
It's just a person with no background. Why can Xi Moqian and Li Li pay so much attention to her? More importantly, Xi Moran also knows this woman and just took a photo of her.
Xi Moran looked at the two people who had stopped moving on the stage. The music stopped suddenly while everyone was still immersed in it.
What followed was overwhelming applause.
"You just need to remember that she is not someone you can mess with."
Anna glanced at the people on the stage, then looked at Su Jingjing in the crowd, with more disgust in her eyes.
It didn't matter that everyone couldn't see the good show earlier, but Wen Li was able to get away with it like this.
It really pissed her off.
Li Li stood on the stage enjoying the applause of the crowd. She walked over and held Wen Li's hand and said thank you softly.
The ensemble played the best music, and Wen Li's piano made up for her shortcomings and showed her strengths to a certain extent.
Without Wen Li, there would be no such sensational performance.
There will be no such shocking performance. This effect is more shocking than her playing the harp.
Li Li pinched the hem of her skirt and saluted, while Wen Li on the side nodded slightly, her expression much softer than when she first came in.
Xi Moqian and Li Ruobing walked over, with genuine smiles on their faces.
"Great." Li Ruobing praised her sister.
Wen Li moved her neck. She felt that her neck was a little sore after not playing the piano for a long time.
"Wen Li, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, this matter might not have been solved so easily." Li Ruobing looked at Wen Li and spoke.
"Not only did it solve our predicament, but it also made Li Li shine in the limelight, great!" Xi Moqian gave Wen Li a thumbs up.
Li Ruobing said a few words to her sister, then looked back at the direction where Li Langhua was standing just now. For some reason, Grandma's face looked wrong when she saw Wen Li just now, and now she went directly upstairs to rest.
The group of high school classmates who had accompanied Nian Yue to besiege Su Jingjing and Wen Li were now staring at each other.
Didn't they say that this person sneaked in on her own? Why did she suddenly become the person to perform with Li Li?
There are many people present who are serious about music, and they can all tell that this piano accompanist is quite skilled.
Ning Muzhang took a deep breath, his face turned very livid, and gave some instructions to the other end of the phone.
In the lounge on the second floor, Li Langhua was closing her eyes to rest, but as soon as she closed her eyes, that beautiful little face always appeared.
It's like a nightmare, no matter how hard you try to drive it away, you can't get rid of it.
Ruiqiu made her a glass of lemonade and brought it over, then carefully helped Li Langhua up from the recliner.
"Are you too tired and hallucinating?" Ruiqiu comforted her.
Li Langhua shook her head, her eyes a little dull, "No, it's really too similar..."
Ruiqiu smiled, "But that child's name is Mu Wen Li, isn't it? She is the child of the Mu family in Ningzhou. You must have thought wrong."
Just as Ruiqiu was comforting her, there was a knock at the door.
Li Ruobing opened the door and came in, looking at the pale old lady, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Li Langhua forced a smile on her face, "It's okay, I'm okay."
Li Ruobing came over and checked the old lady's pulse. The pulse fluctuated significantly, "What frightened you?"
She stayed with the old lady all night tonight, and nothing happened.
"It's okay. I just suddenly felt uncomfortable. It's an old problem. You can go down. Many things are waiting for you to deal with." The old lady patted Li Ruobing's hand.
Although she was not reassured, Li Ruobing could only get up.
"Then you have a good rest. I'll have someone bring you medicine later."
Li Langhua nodded and watched her granddaughter leave the room.
"Don't think too much." Ruiqiu comforted the old lady.
Li Langhua closed her eyes, and that face remained in front of her, like a nightmare that couldn't be dispelled.
She felt a little scared for no reason.
In the hall downstairs, the music sounded again, and everything returned to calm.
Jiang Yunhao slowly arrived behind Ning Muzhang, clinked the wine glass in his hand with him, and looked at the woman over there from a distance.
"I didn't expect that the famous God of calculation is a girl."
Jiang Yunhao didn't think about it at all when he met her for the first time, until he saw the way Ning Muzhang looked at her, as well as Su Jingjing and Xia Chen beside her.
Li Li and Xi Moqian standing over there were clearly the ones from that night, plus Li Ruobing who had been walking in the hall.
All of this is clearly revealed.
"Master Ning, I have to advise you, don't provoke her easily." Jiang Yunhao could see the hatred in Ning Muzhang's eyes.
After working with him for such a long time, Jiang Yunhao certainly understood Ning Muzhang's character very well. That night he made it clear what he meant towards the God of Calculation, and as a result, the bright boy turned into the charming girl he is now.
Astonishing the whole audience, I'm afraid Ning Muzhang now feels cheated.
It just so happens that people like him hate being cheated the most.
"I've already provoked her, what else is there to be afraid of?" Ning Muzhang looked at the people in the distance.
"She is the one being protected by Fu Yuxiu." Jiang Yunhao reminded.
The Ning family will always be the subordinates of the Fu family and will always be under the control of the Fu family. Mr. Fu is getting older, and it is still unclear who will be the head of the family in the future.
That night he didn't understand why Fu Yuxiu had such an ambiguous attitude towards the God of Calculation, but now he understands.
Isn't that what matters between men and women?
"Let's see how capable she is now. Fu Yuxiu is not here now..."
The smile in Ning Muzhang's eyes became even more wild.
