The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 522: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (61)

"I didn't say anything wrong!" Cao Lianxin retorted in a low voice with some grievance.

As her future sister-in-law, Xie Wanru naturally understood the closeness of the relationship, so she patted Cao Lianxin's hand comfortingly, then looked up at Su Xiangran and said softly: "Sister Su, it's not that easy to play the piano.

If you want to play a coherent piece of music, it will be impossible without several years of practice.

I know you can only play the piano keys, but if you really want to learn, I can teach you.

But, don’t say anything inappropriate in this situation. Otherwise, if others find out, it will be a big joke.”

Cao Shixun originally wanted to make a few remarks in defense of Su Xiangran, but he had indeed never heard Su Xiangran mention that she could play the piano, and what Xie Wanru said was actually quite objective and fair.

In order to prevent Su Xiangran from becoming the topic of conversation and jokes after dinner, Cao Shixun had no choice but to stand aside and echo, persuading her earnestly: "Xiao Ran, what Miss Xie said is absolutely right! There are some things we really shouldn't insist on, so as not to make a fool of ourselves."

Hearing this, Su Xiangran couldn't help but sneer in her heart and was about to retort.

However, before she could open her mouth, she heard Song Chengjing say, "I believe Xiaoran can play the piano."

This sentence was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, causing an uproar, but the most surprised person was not others, but Su Xiangran herself.

She tugged at Song Chengjing's sleeve in disbelief and asked softly, "Brother Jing, have you ever heard me play the piano?"

Song Chengjing shook his head slowly, his eyes were as firm as a rock, and his tone was sonorous and powerful: "I haven't heard it myself, but as long as you tell me you can do it, I will believe it! No matter when and where, I will trust you without reservation."

Oh! Su Xiangran's cheeks instantly flushed when she heard this.

At the same time, Cao Shixun's expression also changed drastically. It seemed that he did not choose to believe in Su Xiangran's ability because he cared about her.

"It's impossible to fake being able to play the piano." Su Yanqing also believed in his sister. "Anyway, there is a piano here. Xiaoran can play a song and let everyone appreciate it."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Madam Huang jumped out, hoping that the world would not be in chaos. "Since Miss Su can also play the piano, why don't you play it too? Let's learn from each other."

This was Cao Shixun's blind date party, and Su Xiangran didn't want to steal the show, so she looked at her uncle Cao Ce and asked for his opinion.

Cao Ce gave Su Xiangran an encouraging look, telling her to feel free and show it boldly.

Su Xiangran walked to the piano, sat down calmly, took a deep breath, and then began to play.

Everyone watched her fingers fluttering on the piano keys like butterflies. Every note seemed to be given life, jumping and dancing, full of vitality and appeal.

After the performance, there was silence at first, and then there was warm applause.

"That's amazing! I didn't expect Miss Su's piano skills are so superb!" someone exclaimed.

The few people who knew the matter looked at Xie Wanru and Su Xiangran, and most of them smiled without saying anything.

It’s not for any other reason, just because Su Xiangran and Xie Wanru played the same song, and in comparison, Su Xiangran’s performance incorporated current playing techniques.

Moreover, as a tasker who has been in various worlds for many years, her experience is naturally deeper than the other party. Therefore, Su Xiangran gave this song her own understanding and abundant emotions.

These are exactly what Xie Wanru lacks. She doesn't play much, but her performance is full of craftsmanship and lacks spirituality.

She has always been aware of this shortcoming, but in recent years there have been few people around her who can play the piano, so she forgot about it.

"General Cao, your family is really full of hidden talents!" A man turned sideways and said to Cao Ce, "There is always someone to step forward at any time."

This is true. Just now when Xie Wanru was showing off her foreign language skills, it was Su Yanqing who jumped out to help her.

Such a scene made Xie Wanru look embarrassed. She wanted to embarrass Su Xiangran, but unexpectedly, it made her shine instead.

The blind date dance ended in such an atmosphere.

When leaving the Cao family, the Su brothers and sisters left in Song Chengjing's car.

Cao Shixun looked at Su Xiangran standing in front of him, calling him cousin politely and saying goodbye.

Every word, every move, was done in accordance with the most standard etiquette.

But when they turned around and got into the Song family car, Su Xiangran's complete trust and dependence on Song Chengjing was something Cao Shixun had never experienced before.

"How did you get along with Miss Xie today?" After the guests left, Cao Ce called his son to his study.

Although he watched the whole process, Cao Ce still wanted to hear what Cao Shixun really thought from his son's mouth.
