Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the current outcome didn’t implicate Feng Wei, it was still enough to raise Mei Shu’s score.
Unfortunately, some people wouldn’t easily let Feng Wei off the hook.
On the second floor, a man dressed in a dark blue suit slowly descended the stairs, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
The moment he appeared, everyone in the audience subconsciously held their breath and stared at him without blinking.
They had never seen a man with such a handsome face before!
Was he a celebrity in the entertainment industry?
But why hadn’t they seen this person before?
The discussion about the man filled the air for a while.
But the man’s attention remained fixed on the delicate girl on the stage. He took slow and steady steps toward her and finally stood in front of the stage. “Miss Mei, the piece you just played deeply touched my heart. Please accept my gift.”
As soon as the man spoke, everyone around fell into madness.
How could someone look this good and have such a charming voice?
Mei Shu smiled slightly at him, and after accepting the bouquet of flowers, she bowed to him in gratitude.
Lu Si contained his smile and shifted his gaze to the host, his eyes suddenly turning cold. “You said the score for Chen Jian was indeed a mistake, and the other four judges all gave Mei Shu full marks?”
The host was intimidated by his cold gaze and instinctively straightened his posture, “Y-Yes! Sir, please take a seat in the audience.”
“No rush.” Lu Si smiled nonchalantly, then glanced at Jiang He.
Jiang He immediately understood and publicly presented the badge unique to the organizers of this competition, “The organizers have decided to fulfill the audience’s request to make the judges’ scores for Mei Shu public on the big screen.”
“What?” Feng Wei couldn’t believe it and slammed the table, “Who are you? Organizer of the competition? 1 suspect you obtained that badge illegally! Security, quickly arrest this thief!”
Lu Si sneered and took a step forward, “Chairwoman Feng, this is Master Lu Si, one of the investors and organizers of this competition. If you don’t believe it, you can sue, and the court will tell you the final result.”
“Let’s begin,” Lu Si didn’t even give her a glance and fixed his deep gaze on the host again.
The host couldn’t bear the pressure and anxiously said, “Yes! I will now announce the score.”
Feng Wei, at this moment, felt weak and fell back into her chair, trembling with cold.
How could this happen? Lu Family? Was it the formidable Lu Family that could shake the entire Lin City and even the capital?
But when did the Lu Family participate in organizing this competition?
She hadn’t received any information about it!
Soon, the big screen projected the score results.
As stated earlier, the other three judges, led by Zhang Jun, had indeed given full marks.
But when everyone saw Feng Wei and Chen Jian’s true scores, an unbelievable wave of anger erupted from the entire audience.
This competition was touted as the most prestigious piano competition for high school students in the city.
Yet, two respected judges had openly cheated during the competition, revealing their sinister intentions.
The atmosphere of dissatisfaction among the crowd escalated, and even the students who had competed before began to question whether their own scores were also manipulated.
The clamor of accusations drowned the two of them.
Feng Wei had never been in such a miserable situation before.
She was scared.
With things getting to this point, her position as the chairwoman, which hadn’t yet stabilized, might really be handed over to someone else…
No, she couldn’t allow this to happen!
Feng Wei mustered the last bit of strength in her body and, even though her courage was already drained, she clung to the last thread of hope, “These are not my scores from earlier. This so-called Lu Si is the one cheating!”
The moment she said this, even Chen Jian, who had always stood by her, sucked in a cold breath.
At this point, denying it wouldn’t make any difference.
Moreover, that was the Lu family!
Feng Wei’s actions were undoubtedly the most foolish.
Even if Feng Wei was a member of the Mei family and the chairwoman of Lin City Piano Association, she was no different from a weak ant before the Lu family.
If the Lu family wanted to crush her, it was as simple as snapping their fingers.
At this moment, reason triumphed over emotions. Chen Jian couldn’t let her drag him down, ruining his lifelong reputation. He chose to admit, “I’m sorry. I was indeed requested by Chairman Feng not to give Mei Shu a high score no matter how well she performed. But I admit that Mei Shu’s level is indeed very high, so I was caught in a dilemma and gave her a score of 89.”
His words directly threw Feng Wei under the bus!
She never expected this man to suddenly turn against her and abandon her at this critical moment!
She hated him to the bone, clenched her fists tightly, and prepared to fight alone.. “He’s lying! He and this Lu Si conspired to frame me! Don’t believe them!”
