Chapter 273

Chapter 273: 0273 Against Chapter 273: 0273 Against As soon as Su Ran’s words fell, all the guests were first taken aback. After catching on, they immediately burst into laughter.

The smug look on Su Xinyan’s face froze.

Clearly, Su Ran’s message was: Since I’m not a commodity, I won’t stand here and lose face with you!

Su Ran looked at Su Xinyan’s alternating pallor and sallowness, raising her eyebrows slightly.

“However, the piano skills of a Grade 8 Pianist truly aren’t trivial, indeed worthy of everyone’s bidding. How about I start, a hundred thousand p>

“Hahaha p>

The audience immediately roared with laughter.

Standing on the stage, Su Xinyan clenched her fists tightly, a sense of humiliation she had never felt before sweeping over her.

She was like a jumping clown, standing there for everyone’s amusement, subjected to their ridicule.

Her eyes suddenly reddened.

“Sister, why… why do you have to humiliate me like this p>

Su Ran looked at her somewhat baffled, her tone indifferent.

“Where have I humiliated you? Wasn’t it your friend’s suggestion for you to go on stage? And aren’t you playing for charity? I just complimented you, or do you think a hundred thousand is too little? How about I add another hundred thousand? How does two hundred thousand sound p>

“Pfft p>

Another burst of laughter erupted from the audience, and Su Xinyan was so angry she nearly fainted on stage. The odd looks from the crowd below made her wish she could disappear.

Fu Qiyuan also secretly curled his lips, leaning back in his chair with an indifferent expression. His somewhat restrained powerful aura was still unmistakable. His eyes were lowered, his body leaning slightly towards Su Ran, one hand supporting his forehead, and the other tapping the armrest.

In front of him, she had always been both timid and bold, clearly outmatched, yet she enjoyed teasing him.

Today, he discovered that when she confronted others, she was no less decisive.

Just a simple sentence, sounding completely serious, could infuriate someone to the point of hopping mad.

“Heh p>

The man chuckled softly, his laugh indulgent and gentle.

Gu Heng’s expression was bleak, while Lin Siya suddenly stood up from her chair.

“Su Ran, don’t take things out of context to bully Xinyan. Is this amusing to you? Or are you actually too scared to go on stage, hence you’re making a scene here p>

Su Ran shifted her gaze from Fu Qiyuan’s face and looked at Su Xinyan on the stage with a faint smile.

“Making a scene? Are you sure you’re not describing yourselves? Challenging me to compete with a Grade 8 Pianist, targeting me p>

Targeting!

The crowd somewhat grasped the underlying meaning. Wasn’t it targeting? Forcing someone who only knew a bit about piano to go on stage, if not targeting, then what?

Recalling the recent happenings online, everyone understood without saying a word.

Lin Siya laughed.

“You and Xinyan are sisters, having received the same education. If she can excel and become a Grade 8 Pianist, why can’t you p>

Lin Siya said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Su Ran and Ye Zhichen exchanged glances.

“Pfft,” they burst out laughing suddenly.

Ye Zhichen turned to Su Xinyan on the stage and said with a laugh:

“The same education? Don’t make a fool of yourself, Xiao Ran is the legitimate daughter of the Su Family, the true Eldest Miss Su, and a daughter of a mistress, can your education be the same p>

Ye Zhichen shook her head, Su Xinyan’s expression darkened suddenly, and she glared up at her.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Isn’t your mother the mistress? While our Xiao Ran was taught to be a paragon of etiquette, and you… have learned how to be a mistress, outdoing the blue from which you were dyed–almost outdoing your mother entirely p>

“Enough, do you ever stop? It’s just a matter of going on stage to play a piece, why the reluctance? Or is it that you truly have no intention of contributing to charity p>
