Chapter 290: WEN’s Redemption

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Just a week ago, Wen suddenly came to find me. She said she had found her inspiration and could interpret this piano piece very well. So if there were no accidents today, the piano piece should be fully released, right? And you guys can see WEN’s mysterious face. There’s a music video this time!”

Lapor completely shut off any opportunity for Geng Qiu to explain, immediately speaking and blocking any avenue for her to defend herself. She wouldn’t allow Geng Qiao to speak ill of Wen Xin.

“It’s not like that. This song is mine…”

Geng Qiu did not give up and wanted to retort. Magis stood up from the audience with a microphone and showed his ID to the cameraman.

“I’m a director of the International Piano Association, and I’m in charge of composing piano music. After some appraisal, Geng Qiu’s piano music is not original. It’s composed according to Master Lapor’s video. There are indeed some differences between it and WEN’s original Redemption, but it’s enough to be considered plagiarized.”

As soon as Magis finished speaking, the entire auditorium was filled with surprised voices. They did not expect Magis to appear in this competition.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room instantly rose from 200,000 to 1.5 million…

Just as the host was at a loss, the organizer and the president of the piano association walked out from the waiting area.

The president of the piano association took the microphone from the host’s hand and said in a flustered voice, “Alright, contestant Geng Qiu’s scoring has ended. Let’s invite the challenger to compete!”

Geng Qiu stood there absent-mindedly. She felt like she was in a dream and had no idea what had happened. She felt as if she had been placed in an ice cellar.

The president of the piano association pulled Geng Qiu backstage and pulled her to a chair to sit down. “Calm down first. Your instructor will be here soon.’

Geng Shikui was holding Su Li’s hand earlier, but now, he was pinching it. His strength was so great that it seemed like he wanted to crush Su Li’s wrist.

“No wonder you were so nervous. So you knew everything. It was you who harmed Geng Qiu again!”

Geng Shikui’s voice was hoarse, and one could hear the anger in his tone. He finally understood why Su Li had gone to find Geng Qiu.

“Shikui, I didn’t know things would develop to this extent. I helped Qiuqiu investigate before, but I didn’t expect…She got the piano piece from Lapor…”

“Isn’t Lapor the person you found? You were the one who brought it back. How did it become like this? How many more things are you hiding from me?”

Wen Xin walked out from the backstage with a casual swagger. She retained the same outfit from earlier, opting for simplicity without any extravagant gown. She resembled more of a rogue, making it difficult for anyone to associate her with the WEN from the music video.

“This little sister is so good-looking!”

“Why does this little sister look so familiar? It seems like I have seen it somewhere before.

“Can a girl dressed like this play the piano? It’s simply bending my understanding…

“D*mn, that side profile is simply the best in the world! Isn’t this too cool?”

For once, Wen Xin didn’t use her foot to hook the stool from under the piano. Instead, she bent down, pulled the stool out, and sat, adjusting her posture.

Her fair and slender fingers were placed on the keys of the piano. She calmed down a little and pressed the first note.

As the first note resonated, she captured everyone’s attention. The slow and haunting melody, like a hand gripping the throat, created a suffocating atmosphere, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Suddenly, the passionate melody from the piano rang out. The piano’s sound, expertly wrapped, revealed a brilliant and vivid palette—rich but not overflowing, vibrant but not glaring.

Wen Xin’s performance was akin to creating a painting. It vividly portrayed the suppressed, pulled, struggled, released, and liberated emotions embedded in the piano composition.

Her beautiful fingers danced on the black and white keys like fairies. Her mesmerizing eyes caught everyone’s attention. They couldn’t bear to blink, afraid they would miss a moment.

The ancient piano gave Wen Xin a different feeling when she played it. This was probably the ultimate performance of a piano master, right?

The piano rhythm became faster and faster, constantly switching between various tones.

Finally, at the last bar, the piece came to an end. The sound of the piano was melodious, freeing people from the previously tense atmosphere. The whole composition ended with an arpeggio.

Wen Xin did not stop when she finished that last note. She raised her hand slightly, causing the sound to dissipate into the air before she continued playing.

An extremely melancholic chord flowed from the piano. After a few short repetitions, it fell heavily, as if this was the final ending of the piano piece.

It allowed one’s soul to be released.

The entire auditorium was very quiet. Everyone was immersed in her performance. Even the judges were silent.

“Clap…clap…clap” Lapor calmly looked at Wen Xin, her hands clasped together as she subconsciously clapped for Wen Xin.

With Lapor leading the applause, the entire hall was filled with deafening applause, and many people shouted excitedly.

“D*mn, could this contestant be the genius composer WEN? This piano level can’t be said to be at the master level, but it can definitely participate in world-class competitions, right?”

“I’m so lucky to be able to see WEN in person. I’m so lucky to be able to hear

WEN in person. I must go and buy the lottery ticket.”

“Isn’t WEN too awesome? It’s a completely different style from the music video. I love this feeling.”

Hearing the discussions around him, Mu Chengxi’s gaze was fixed on Wen Xin on stage. He did not know what kind of treasure he had found, but he knew her music made his heart ache. He just wanted to hug her tightly.

As if she sensed Mu Chengxi’s intense gaze, Wen Xin lifted her head and looked in his direction. She casually brushed her loose hair and blew him a kiss.

Wen Xin’s action caused the entire place to explode. No one had expected such a cold and aloof lady to do such a thing. Everyone turned their heads to look, wondering who it was that could get such a blatant declaration of love from her.

Mu Chengxi’s lips curled into a warm smile. His little girl was not cold-blooded by nature. Her gentleness was only given to the person she wanted to give.

Lapor looked at Wen Xin with a doting gaze. This was the first time she had seen her little girl’s side.

Lapor stood up and walked onto the stage. She took the microphone from the host and gestured to the excited audience to keep quiet.

“Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce you. This is our contestant for today’s challenge.”

“I’m not convinced.. This is obviously a secret operation!”
