An Mu and Song Xi were both stunned on the spot.
When he saw Shi Qinglan's delicate face, he was almost petrified, so stiff that he couldn't move at all.
Other guests did not expect that she would be so stunning...
The girl was gifted by God with an alluring face, her skin was as beautiful as snow, and her eyes were as clear as water. Against the background of the exquisite makeup and gorgeous dress, she was even more radiant, and her beauty was beyond the ordinary!
"Oh my God! What level of fairy is this..."
"I originally thought that she would be raised as a country bumpkin by Mingcheng. Even if she has a distinguished status, she would not be able to support the occasion. Now I am blind. Is there any daughter from a wealthy family in the imperial capital who can compare with her!"
"As expected of me, I have inherited the genes of Mr. Shi and Queen Jiang."
"Why am I stupid enough to suspect that the bloodline of the Shi family is a country bumpkin? I'm so stupid... really!"
"Wake up, no matter how beautiful your face is, it's not just genetic inheritance. If you can't play chess, calligraphy, and painting and don't understand aristocratic etiquette, aren't you just a loser with a distinguished status?"
These comments faintly reached Shi Qinglan's ears.
A loser who can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...
The girl's red lips were slightly curved, her charming and beautiful eyes were gleaming with light, and even the edge around her body was inadvertently revealed, showing her confidence and determination.
An Mu clenched her fists tightly, "Impossible... This is impossible! She is obviously just a slum girl!"
Endless unwillingness and resentment flashed in her eyes.
As if the poison had been quenched, he stared closely at the girl at the center of the topic, but the light around her was so dazzling that An Mu, who was originally the proudest one, eclipsed her!
"Miss An, we meet again." Shi Qinglan raised her face slightly, with a cold smile on her bright red lips.
Song Xi blinked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"
An Mu bit her lip tightly and said nothing. She pinched the corners of her lips nervously with her hands, her chest rising and falling with anger...
It took her a long while before she said, "Shi Qinglan, you are kidding me!"
Hearing this, Shi Qinglan raised the corners of her eyes slightly and looked at her with interest, wanting to hear how she was playing.
"Why didn't you say you were the daughter of the Shi family?"
An Mu gritted her teeth. She didn't dare to make a big fuss, so she could only stand in front of Shi Qinglan and lower her voice to accuse, "It's funny to see my joke like this, isn't it?"
She had even brought out the daughter of Shi's chaebol to suppress her...
She was making trouble in front of the rightful owner, but was treated like a clown by the other party. She was simply embarrassed!
Hearing this, Shi Qinglan's voice overflowed with a beautiful smile...
She looked at An Mu with a sweet smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "Miss An, you don't seem to have asked me."
He didn't even ask her name from beginning to end.
An Mu's face turned slightly pale, and his whole body was shaking with anger, "So what if you are the daughter of the Shi family chaebol? Except for your identity and face, you still can't compare to me in anything!"
"These two are enough." Shi Qinglan said nonchalantly.
An Mu was choked by her again and stomped her feet angrily, "How is it possible! All the daughters of the wealthy families in our imperial capital must receive training in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as rigorous etiquette training!"
"In a small place like Mingcheng, I'm afraid you haven't even seen a piano, guzheng or anything like that? Can you read music scores?"
Shi Qinglan's red lips curled up slightly, and her deliberately soft and gentle tone was somewhat meaningful, "Piano and guzheng..."
She did not deliberately learn these two instruments from a teacher.
Because her starting point is the guqin, which is several times more difficult than the piano and guzheng...
"You haven't learned it before!" An Mu raised his face proudly.
But having found the other party's shortcomings, she raised her lips triumphantly, with a look of contempt in her eyes.
Song Xi pursed her lips. She raised her eyes to look at the radiant Shi Qinglan, and suddenly remembered the rumors about Mingcheng High School...
It was said that before she came to this school, Shi Qinglan showed amazing talent on the guqin at the coming-of-age ceremony, and she seemed to be the real owner of the Qingluan guqin.
"Mumu, you'd better say less..."
Song Xi lowered his voice and reminded her that both parties were her friends. She was a little embarrassed at the moment.
An Mu smiled sarcastically, "I'll just say it, I'll say it, Shi Qinglan doesn't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't we let others tell her!"
She deliberately raised her voice a little higher this time, and everyone around her who heard her words looked at her...
An Mu loudly said something that no one dared to mention.
Even though they looked down on Shi Qinglan's proficiency in chess, calligraphy and painting, they did not dare to offend him and could only discuss it privately.
"Miss An is really brave..."
"She's right. The daughter of our wealthy aristocrat is not proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Just talking about this matter, Miss Shi is indeed a bit unsightly..."
These rustling discussions sounded, and they talked to each other. Because they did not dare to offend the Shi family chaebol but could not change the nature of the talkative woman, they secretly mocked in private.
At this moment, Shi Qingjue happened to walk into the garden from the villa...
Although you can't hear the whispers of these people clearly, you can detect a bit of disdain from their eyes, and the target is obviously the central figure today - his baby sister!
"What's going on?" Shi Qingjue's voice suddenly turned cold.
He narrowed his narrow eyes and glanced coldly at the people who gathered around to whisper. Then he opened his long legs and walked steadily to the girl's side.
Shi Qinglan's red lips curved slightly, "It's nothing."
An Mu looked at her appearance, pulled Song Xi aside and sneered, "I'm pretending to be generous and not bothering with everyone. In the end, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed in front of Master Jue."
"An Mu, please stop talking." Song Xi's voice was slightly cold.
Although she usually plays well with An Mu, what she said today really made people feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, Shi Qinglan also gave her the business card of the heir to the Medical Research Institute, and he could even be regarded as her benefactor...
"Xiao Xi, what's going on with you?" An Mu frowned, "Are you trying to curry favor with the daughter of Shi's chaebol?"
Otherwise, why would you always stand on her side and not speak up for yourself!
Song Xi frowned and was about to tell her about Qingluan Guqin when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the garden...
"Look! It's Mr. Xu here!"
"Which old Mr. Xu? The old man from Mingcheng who is proficient in the guqin? Why did he fly to the imperial capital all the time!"
Although Mingcheng's wealthy families are indeed nothing in front of the imperial capital.
But the Xu family in Mingcheng is different. Because Mr. Xu is very accomplished in the guqin, even the wealthy ladies from the wealthy families in the imperial capital flock to Mingcheng to learn from him...
Therefore, Mr. Xu can be said to be the teacher of many rich people!
An Mu's eyes also lit up slightly. When she was interested in Guqin, she also learned it from Mr. Xu, but because it was too difficult, she gave up quickly, "Teacher, why are you here!"
