"It's fourth brother's fault. After today's performance, fourth brother will personally apologize to you," Ming Weizhou said, stroking her head. His eyes were full of doting as he looked at Ming Zhirou.
Ming Zhirou's eyes crinkled into smiles. "Then... did fourth brother bring me any gifts from abroad?"
"Yes, yes..."
The atmosphere between them was so sweet, it could have been bubbling with pink hues, as if no one else in the world could possibly intrude.
Many people looked at them with envy.
The bond between these siblings was truly strong.
It was no wonder Ming Zhirou could write such a soulful song.
At this moment, Xiao Qiaosi's gaze was also fixed on Ming Zhirou, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Is this the little fairy who grew up immersed in music? As expected of Weizhou's sister, she's beautiful and so talented."
"Although... she can't compare to my goddess, but... Xiao Qi, what do you think, if I were to become Weizhou's brother-in-law..."
As he spoke, he stroked his chin, a greasy smile appearing on his face.
"She's very proud, how could she possibly fall for you?" Mo Qiyu rolled her eyes at him, her voice becoming sweet and soft. "Little fairy? Her? I really don't know how to critique your taste."
"With a goddess standing right in front of you, you don't believe it, and insist on believing a fake."
Mo Qiyu poked Xiao Qiaosi's head in frustration, "If you don't believe your brother, don't regret it later."
As the two of them bickered.
The heartwarming scene between the siblings also concluded.
Ming Zhirou leaned into Ming Weizhou's embrace and raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Ming Zheng.
Ming Zheng was dressed very understatedly.
Unlike her, whose pure white and elegant attire, down to every strand of hair, was meticulously arranged with opulent solemnity.
Ming Zheng wore a black, subtly luxurious evening gown, the brand of which was unclear.
Her sea-like black hair was slightly curled, half-up, giving a hint of lazy looseness.
Two strands of dark hair fell by her temples, framing her exquisitely beautiful and extremely vibrant face.
She wore no designer items at all.
Yet, she was still radiant and exceptionally dazzling.
That kind of brilliance.
Was innate.
As if merely standing in a crowd, she would.
Attract countless gazes, all surrendering at her feet.
What Ming Zhirou detested most was Ming Zheng's "brilliance."
Therefore, after Ming Zheng appeared.
She had painstakingly schemed to suppress Ming Zheng's "brilliance."
Never allowing the Ming family to see Ming Zheng's "brilliance."
But...
When did things begin to change?
When did everything stop proceeding according to her plan?
When did the "brilliant" aura emanating from Ming Zheng become increasingly difficult to conceal, impossible to suppress?
Ming Zhirou's slender fingers, hidden beneath Ming Weizhou's arm, clenched tighter and tighter.
A ripple of light flowed in her eyes.
She tried her best to suppress the jealousy and hatred towards Ming Zheng.
Then, she tilted her head up and smiled sweetly at Ming Weizhou, "Fourth brother, don't blame sister, and don't chase her away. Sister must have missed you so much that she asked the Dean of the Capital to cooperate with her and put on this show."
With her words, she once again drew attention to Ming Zheng... the person who had just "impersonated" the Master of Zither Music.
If Ming Zheng had impersonated someone else.
Perhaps people wouldn't have been so angry.
But, Ming Zheng had impersonated not only Xiao Qiaosi's goddess, but also the goddess in the hearts of everyone present...
An inviolable, only to be worshipped goddess.
Master of Zither Music!
They had indeed heard from President Fu mention.
That Master of Zither Music might possibly attend this concert.
But, that didn't mean anyone could come and impersonate Master of Zither Music!
If you're going to impersonate, at least do it credibly.
Master of Zither Music was the world-renowned foremost musician.
A presence no one had yet surpassed!
There must have been rich experience, emotions, and various other factors to create so many touching works.
Therefore, Master of Zither Music's age must be older than President Fu!
This young girl, looking no older than just having come of age.
How could she possibly be the Master of Zither Music with rich life experience?
"What cooperation? Baby is naturally skilled at the zither. You haven't seen her play, so why are you saying my baby is impersonating?" Mo Qiyu was indignant.
She could be insulted.
But how could her baby be doubted?
"Dean of the Capital." Ming Zhirou poked her head out from Ming Weizhou's embrace and walked towards Mo Qiyu. "I know you care a lot about sister, but... you shouldn't help sister cause trouble at this occasion."
"If Master of Zither Music really came and saw someone impersonating her, she might become angry with the Music Association, and with President Fu."
Ming Zhirou furrowed her delicate brows, appearing to be thinking solely of everyone's well-being, and then looked at Ming Zheng. "Sister, today is a very important day for me and my brothers. Even if you hate me, dislike me, please, for the sake of our brothers, don't make a scene here, okay?"
Her gentle tone carried a hint of pleading.
And Ming Zhirou's words instantly ignited the surrounding crowd's anger.
If it were just impersonating Master of Zither Music to show off.
They would at most have made a few sarcastic remarks.
But... if the consequences of impersonating Master of Zither Music affected their future.
Then it would be different!
Suddenly, they were not just making sarcastic remarks.
But instead, they began to accuse.
And even ordered the security guards to escort Ming Zheng out!
Listening to the indignant curses of the musicians around her, a faint, proud smile graced the corners of Ming Zhirou's eyes.
But as she looked up, it was well concealed. "Sister, how about... you apologize to everyone first and leave the backstage? Later... after the performance ends, I'll have second brother and fourth brother come see you, okay?"
"Rou'er, I don't want to see her!"
"A woman who is common to all men, what is there to see?"
Ming Huaizhi and Ming Weizhou spoke simultaneously.
Their tones were filled with disgust for Ming Zheng.
"Second brother, fourth brother..." Ming Zhirou turned and coquettishly pouted at the two of them.
She drew out her tone, making it melodious and lingering.
Ming Huaizhi and Ming Weizhou's expressions softened. Reluctantly, but unwilling to upset their precious sister, they gruffly replied, "Since Rou'er wants us to see her, then we will."
Then, with an expression that clearly said, "Thank Rou'er quickly, if it weren't for Rou'er, I wouldn't deign to look at you," they looked at Ming Zheng.
Ming Zheng: "..."
A bunch of idiots!
They wanted to see her.
She found it disgusting.
Did they really think they were a hot commodity?
Ming Zheng let out a cold snort.
At this moment, Ming Zhirou took another step closer to Ming Zheng and reached out, trying to link arms with her. "Sister, second brother and fourth brother have agreed! Come, I'll escort you out of here first..."
