Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 219: Impersonating Little One

Gu Maowen first stood in place and bowed to the audience, then walked forward to the piano, bowing once again to the audience present. With his two bows, the enthusiastic applause continued uninterrupted. It wasn’t until he sat down at the piano that the whole venue quieted down, focusing attentively on this soul-cleansing, ear-cleansing musical event.

Gu Maowen had his own unique style. His melodies were filled with sadness yet subtly contained a layer of hope. The flowing piano music rose and fell, interpreting a piano piece in a unique and unconventional manner. He played a total of six piano pieces of different styles, each one perfectly presented, whether melancholic, lingering, or passionate and unrestrained.

Until the end of the last piano piece, Gu Maowen stood up, bowed to the audience, and completed his concert performance for the evening. The applause thundered throughout the venue, continuing for a long time.

Old Master Qin was immersed in the piano performance just now. It took him a while to come back to his senses, sighing, "The one introduced by Old Ji is quite talented."

Old Madam Qin praised endlessly, clapping until her hands turned red. "Amazing, truly worthy of being a piano master."

Old Master Qin looked at little one beside him and asked softly, "Ann, did you like it?"

"It was great!" Qin Sui’an’s round eyes sparkled. She sat up excitedly in the child’s chair. "Grandpa, grandma, the grandpa playing the piano on stage is so amazing!"

Old Madam Qin smiled, "Did Ann like it?"

"I loved it!" She looked at the stage with admiration in her eyes. Even though the figure of the man on stage was gone, there was still that beautiful piano.

Old Madam Qin immediately signaled to Old Master Qin with her eyes.

Old Master Qin immediately understood the meaning in her eyes and took out his phone.

At the same time, Ji Yi also came to the concert today and was in the backstage lounge at the moment.

Gu Maowen had just finished playing a few pieces and had his hands placed on a warm water bag to soothe his hand nerves. He glanced at Ji Yi beside him and said, "The listening experience backstage is greatly discounted. Didn’t I give you a VIP box?"

"I gave it to someone else."

The VIP box where little one and the others were located was arranged by Ji Yi to ensure that little one could enjoy the concert without being affected by ordinary positions.

Gu Maowen wasn’t surprised by his answer but took the opportunity to tease him, "Always indebted to me, huh? Hmph, you didn’t even think about helping me. Can you at least tell me the contact information of that kid in the video?"

Ji Yi remained calm and unaffected by his words, neither feeling stimulated nor telling him that his VIP box had been given to little one. He casually took a sip of tea and casually asked, "Why are people talking about a Shao family’s daughter outside?"

Gu Maowen was even more puzzled and asked back, "What Shao family’s daughter?"

"Everyone is saying that the person you’re looking for is the Shao family’s daughter, right?" Ji Yi had heard a lot of people discussing this on the way here.

Gu Maowen furrowed his brows, "How come I don’t know? Could it really be the Shao family’s daughter?"

Although Ji Yi didn’t know who this Shao family’s daughter was, someone had approached him before, saying that the daughter of the Shao family wanted to apprentice under him to learn chess. They even said that money was not a problem, as long as he was willing to take her as a disciple, he could boldly set a price. Ji Yi, who hated dealing with money matters, disliked people like this. If he was greedy for money, he would have had many disciples by now, but how could he have had so few disciples over the years? Hearing others talk about the Shao family’s daughter reminded him of this incident.

Ji Yi didn’t have much of a reaction, just said, "Why don’t you go meet this Shao family’s daughter too? Maybe this Shao family’s daughter also has some talent."

Gu Maowen looked at him suspiciously, "You seem quite insincere."

"I’m not insincere." Ji Yi shrugged, shaking his head in denial.

Someone knocked on the door of the lounge, and Gu Maowen’s assistant’s voice came from outside, "Mr. Gu, there’s a child named Shao Xinxin here, she says she’s the one you’re looking for."

The assistant had also seen the video. Mr. Gu had been mentioning the kid in the video everywhere these days, praising them endlessly, but he still couldn’t find out who the kid was. The information seemed to be tightly sealed off by someone.

At this moment, he looked down at the little girl in front of him, who was at least six years old. She looked sweet, and her attire indicated that she was a rich man’s daughter, but she definitely couldn’t be the kid in the video. That kid looked like they were only two or three years old!

But he didn’t rashly drive away this little girl. What if she really was the one? He couldn’t be sure.

Anyway, Mr. Gu didn’t have any other appointments today. As long as this little girl played the piano in front of him once, he would know if she was the kid in the video or not.

The door of the lounge suddenly opened.

Gu Maowen’s excited expression cooled down instantly when he saw the little girl outside the door. He furrowed his brows. She didn’t look like the kid in the video at all!

"Hello, Mr. Gu, I’m Shao Xinxin." Shao Xinxin stood straight, neither humble nor overbearing. "I’m the kid in the video. I heard Mr. Gu was looking for me, so I came here myself."

"You?" Gu Maowen’s brows furrowed even tighter. "Kid, I don’t have time to joke with you. The person I’m looking for is only two or three years old. You should be six years old, right?"

Shao Xinxin didn’t show any embarrassment at having her lie exposed. She said confidently, "Mr. Gu, that video was taken when I was three years old."

Ji Yi also followed to the door of the lounge.

Seeing this kid named Shao Xinxin with his own eyes and hearing her lie, Ji Yi chuckled. "Kids these days have quite a cunning mind."

Shao Xinxin’s expression changed when she saw him. How could he be here?!

Ji Yi had tried to take Qin Sui’an as his disciple but was miserably rejected. This incident had spread throughout the aristocratic circle. Anyone who had seen the video and knew Qin Sui’an would definitely know that the little one in the video was Qin Sui’an!

Shao Xinxin couldn’t help but clench her fists.

She had thought that since Gu Maowen didn’t know Qin Sui’an and the Qin family intentionally kept Qin Sui’an’s information confidential, she could rightfully take Qin Sui’an’s place and become the apprentice of Gu Maowen, the piano master.

But she never expected that suddenly Ji Yi would appear!

Shao Xinxin still remembered in her previous life when Qin Sui’an became Gu Maowen’s disciple, and Gu Maowen had trained her into the youngest and strongest pianist of her generation. He even took her on tours around the world, making Qin Sui’an’s name known internationally, echoing throughout the world.
