Chapter 165: Piano Genius

Li Hanchen was working but halted when he caught sight of the caller ID.

He pressed answer and his husky voice came from over the phone. “Hello?”

Mu Sheng had not spoken to Li Hanchen all day. Now that she suddenly heard Li Hanchen’s voice, she could not help feeling uneasy. She curled up in bed as she said, “Have you eaten?”

Li Hanchen stopped signing documents. “Uh huh. Didn’t I promise to eat regularly? I did not forget.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng yawned. “In that case, I am going to bed.”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Li Hanchen. “Goodnight.”

“Good night.”

Since Mu Sheng was already sleepy, she went to bed shortly after hanging up the phone. However, the lights inside Flourishing Age Group remained lit all night.

God Mu made a name for herself in the live telecasting industry that night. Her name had swept throughout the forums and social media and half the world was talking about her.

Meanwhile, the other half of the world was talking about someone else online.

It was none other than Mu Xiao.

It was because of some post on Metropolis University’s forum which came with a video and message: [This song is beautiful. I really want the manuscript. Omigod. Just listening to it makes my goose pimples stand. It is absolutely beautiful! Even the low-quality audio was unable to conceal its beauty!]

Inside the video, a beautiful young woman dressed in a white dress sat in front of the piano as melodious music gently flowed from her fingers.

Both the music and the woman were beautiful.

[It’s good. I just got my piano teacher to listen to it. She says this song must be the work of a master composer. I wonder who wrote it?]

[I know this young lady. She is pretty famous. Her name is Mu Xiao and she is attending Metropolis University. She is the Mu family’s little princess and comes from a rich and powerful clan. She majors in literature, but I didn’t expect her to be such an excellent pianist.]

[I am a music major here. I have never heard this song before. Is it a new unreleased song?]

If a song was good, it would speak for itself, and people would automatically like it.

Even though most of the people who heard it online were not music professionals, it did not prevent them from being moved by it.

Early in the morning, Mu Xiao was surrounded by reporters when she arrived at Metropolis University.

“Miss Mu, the song you performed at the school anniversary last night was beautiful. Is it your teacher’s unreleased work? You see, we were unable to find any information about it.”

Mu Xiao was stunned before she glanced at the reporter’s name tag.

It was a reporter from an official music station. Mu Xiao smiled brightly. “I am glad everyone likes the song. I happened to compose it. It isn’t that good, so I wasn’t expecting such praise.”

The reporter was startled by Mu Xiao’s response.

“Do you mean you wrote the song?”

How could that be? The reporter was in charge of the music section, so she was considered a professional. Considering how smooth the song was, no ordinary person composed it, and Mu Xiao was still doing university.

If Mu Xiao had genuinely composed this song, that would make her a genius and a rising star in the music scene!

Mu Xiao nodded shyly. “I just happened to compose it. I know it still needs a lot of improvement, so I hope everyone can bear with me.”

The looks on everyone’s face changed. They were looking at Mu Xiao as though she was an important woman.

The reporters encircled Mu Xiao and interviewed her for some time before letting her enter Metropolis University.

Before long, reports of her accomplishment surfaced.

Everyone called Mu Xiao a piano genius.

Mu Ting beamed so brightly that all his pearly whites could be seen when Wang Man and Mu Ting saw the reports back home. “Our dear daughter has done us proud. Just look at what the media is calling her. She is a piano genius. This is brilliant!”

Wang Man smiled happily. “Hubby, I heard Master Ouyang, the famous Chinese pianist, is coming home to pick a disciple. If Xiaoxiao could get chosen…”

Even though Wang Man did not finish her sentence, Mu Ting and Wang Man both knew what she was talking about. If Mu Xiao could get chosen as Master Ouyang’s disciple, it would be great news for the Mu family.

Even though the Mu family looked well off on the outside, they knew full well that the family had been declining for over 20 years.

All that remained was an empty shell, and they were in dire need of money.

Mu Ting had placed all hope on Mu Xiao.

He wanted her to marry Li Ming since he was from a good family.

Now that Mu Xiao was able to play piano so well, if she could become Ouyang He’s disciple, the Mu family would get connected with the Ouyang clan as well.

That way, the Mu family could finally be stable.

The more Mu Ting thought about this, the prouder he became. “Manman, you have raised a good daughter for us.”

Wang Man smiled proudly. A thought swept through her mind, so she looked at Mu Ting. “Hubby, there is something I want to discuss with you.”

“Go on.” Mu Ting was in a very good mood now.

“Mu Sheng has married into the Li family for some time now, but she has yet to come home. I want to invite her back for my birthday banquet so that she can visit us. After all, the Mu family is her home.”

“Humph!” The moment Wang Man brought up Mu Sheng, Mu Ting felt annoyed. He had two daughters, but they were poles apart. “She is a disgrace to the family. Why should we invite her? Even if she dies, it is none of the Mu family’s business.”

Wang Man held Mu Ting’s arm. “Hubby, listen. Mu Sheng is too young to know better. How could we take it to heart? Can you let her come, please? Otherwise, those rich ladies in high society are going to say I am a bad stepmother.”

Wang Man kept imploring Mu Ting sweetly, so Mu Ting eventually caved in. “Fine. We can let her come back, but she isn’t allowed to appear in front of the guests. I can’t afford to be embarrassed.”

“Okay. Darling, you are the best.” Wang Man smiled happily.

Mu Ting tapped Wang Man’s nose gently. “Xiaoxiao is just like you. Both of you are too nice. If I did not protect you, you would probably end up being bullied by everyone.”

Wang Man buried her face into Mu Ting’s embrace shyly. “Hubby, I know you love me. If you did not protect me, I don’t know what would have become of me. Promise that you will protect me forever.”

Wang Man successfully stroked Mu Ting’s male ego by acting reliant on him, so he agreed right away, “Don’t worry. That goes without saying.”

An evil gleam swept across Wang Man’s eyes when Mu Ting indulged her. She touched her right pinky where there was a scar left behind from surgery.

Back in the day, Mu Ting’s previous wife who was Mu Sheng’s mother had broken her finger in front of everyone.

Now, Mu Sheng would pay for this humiliation.
