The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 206

Both of them studied music, so of course they could hear the difference in this.

No matter how foolish Huo Mei Shu was, she now understood the trap Ye Liyun had set for her!

Having liked Gu Chengyan for so many years, she certainly knew what he detested most.

The trap Ye Liyun had set for her was actually very superficial.

But if she had agreed to go on stage just now, she would surely have fallen into it.

Because the few places where Ye Liyun had tuned hadn't been discussed with her, and the version published online was another one.

So the version of "Dreams Fall, Who Knows How Many" that Gu Chengyan was playing now was tuned by Ye Liyun herself, and presented to Gu Chengyan in an original way.

Since Huo Mei Shu said this song was her creation, how could she not be familiar with the original score?

Once she played it wrong, playing the version now published online, or her own original version, she would fall into Ye Liyun's trap.

Musicians all hate piracy.

Especially a genius like Gu Chengyan, who was even more disgusted by this kind of thing.

If Huo Mei Shu had really played, she would have directly cleared Ye Liyun of suspicion.

The scheme was not ingenious, but it could make Gu Chengyan disgusted.

Once Gu Chengyan was disgusted, Huo Mei Shu's explanation would be useless.

Huo Mei Shu understood, glaring angrily at Ye Liyun in the distance.

She hadn't expected the gentle and charming girlfriend in front of her back then to be so vicious now!

If he came to detest her, let alone a successful confession, she was afraid she wouldn't even have a chance to get close to him again!

Rong Dai was proficient in the six arts, and even more so in understanding people's hearts.

That was why she would make this decision at the first moment.

Hearing her play, the look in Gu Chengyan's deep eyes changed subtly, and he glanced meaningfully at Ye Liyun standing in the crowd.

Who was lying, he was already clear in his heart.

When the piece was over, the applause in the restaurant was very enthusiastic.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Huo to be so proficient in music as well. She really can't judge a person by appearance!"

Someone in the crowd flattered her, and Rong Dai just smiled lightly, not answering much.

She looked sharply at the pale-faced Ye Liyun.

Such clumsy means when used against her would be ineffective.

But they would be very effective when used against her sister-in-law.

Gu Chengyan was said to be tone-deaf because of his obsession with music.

If Ye Liyun had proven that she hadn't pirated her sister-in-law's score, but that her sister-in-law was talking nonsense, the consequences could be imagined.

"Thank you Mrs. Huo for gracing us, your musical attainment is very high," Gu Chengyan complimented her very gentlemanly, looking at her with great appreciation in his eyes.

Rong Dai smiled lightly, "Mr. Gu is exceptionally talented, I'm just dabbling compared to you."

As she spoke, she paused, her beautiful eyes full of meaning as she looked at him, "I just didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so different from the rumors, with extraordinary discernment in music, but lacking in judging people."

If it was someone else, they certainly wouldn't have dared to say this, but Rong Dai did.

Gu Chengyan didn't get angry, but nodded with a smile, "Thank you for Mrs. Huo's guidance, I will practice more in this area."

The people below didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

But Huo Mei Shu, Qiao Wanzhou and Ye Liyun understood very well, especially Ye Liyun.

She hadn't expected Huo Mei Shu to have such an amazing sister-in-law. Her musical skills were already comparable to Gu Chengyan's.

She knew her little trick had failed.

She looked at the sister-in-law pair with unwillingness and a bit of irritation in her eyes.

She just didn't understand, they were already so rich, so why were they so against her?

It was just a worthless little tune.

Huo Mei Shu had money and talent, and was an heiress.

Who wouldn't she be able to marry in the future?

Why did she have to compete with her for Gu Chengyan?

How much effort had she spent for today, only to see it all go up in smoke.

Shi Ning, standing in the crowd, could see some of the twists and turns, although not understanding them fully.

Seeing Ye Liyun leave quietly, she signaled her assistant to follow her out.

She didn't like Rong Dai either.

Always grabbing the limelight like this.

It was one thing at Old Lady Qiao's birthday banquet, but here too she had to grab the limelight.

She was married already, yet still so restless.

She really didn't know what Huo Shao Ting saw in her to marry her. This kind of restless woman would surely get into trouble sooner or later.

After the performance, Rong Dai was also in no mood to stay on.

Huo Mei Shu was even less in the mood.

The two sisters-in-law met Teacher Feng on Qiao Wanzhou’s introduction, greeted her briefly, then left the restaurant.

"Sister-in-law, I really didn't expect a person could be so nasty," Huo Mei Shu said indignantly as they sat in the car.

Rong Dai had the bodyguard drive back to the apartment, comforting her as they went, "As long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough. Go home, take a hot bath, and sleep, and you'll feel better."

Huo Mei Shu remained sullen. The two sisters-in-law returned to the apartment, bid each other goodnight, then Huo Mei Shu went back to hers.

Rong Dai sighed helplessly inwardly as she entered her own apartment, took a hot bath, then leaned against the bed reading her script while waiting to message Huo Shao Ting after he finished work.

At the restaurant, Gu Chengyan and Jiang Xu sat together drinking.

"She's the girl you said has liked me for a long time?" Gu Chengyan asked Jiang Xu. The look in his deep eyes was like flickering starlight, with a distinctly aloof aura that made him unforgettable at first sight.

Jiang Xu smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes, she... has liked you since middle school."

I've liked her since middle school too.

Gu Chengyan took a sip of wine, "Her sister-in-law is very special, her musical attainment is high, so why does she insist on acting?"

His tone was full of regret.

Jiang Xu swallowed and cautiously reminded him, "Gu Chengyan, although you're a genius in the music world, don't compare yourself to Huo Shao Ting. Miss Rong is his wife, if you make trouble, you'll suffer for it."

Gu Chengyan chuckled lightly, looking a bit unruly, "I just appreciate her musical talent."

Jiang Xu swept him a very speechless look, "Then what about Huo Mei Shu? She's never had the courage to confess to you, and this time she was framed by her girlfriend, it's a big blow to her."

"If you don't like her, let me know, and I'll give her advance notice, rather than leaving her waiting indefinitely."

In fact, he also wanted an early death sentence, to give himself some relief.

Gu Chengyan glanced at him lightly, and asked in return, "Do you like her?"

Jiang Xu was immediately choked on his wine, "Cough cough cough... don't put it so bluntly."

"Then you have no chance," Gu Chengyan said very arrogantly, picking up his wine glass and leaving to talk to other people.

Jiang Xu sat in his chair with a bewildered look on his face. What did he mean by that?

Could it be that he likes Huo Mei Shu?

But it doesn't seem like it!
