Ji Ning’s psychological problems were more serious. Being able to attend the banquet with Shen Hanxing was already a big step forward for her. Shen Hanxing had been paying attention to her the whole time. When Shen Hanxing heard her faintly trembling voice, she couldn’t be bothered about anything

else.

She asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to find a place to rest?”

“No, no need. I can endure this,” Ji Ning lowered her head. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her pale little face looked fragile and pitiful. She was obviously very scared, but she pretended to be strong and tried to tough it out. “Sister-in-law, I-I’m fine. I just need to lean against you, sister-in-law.”

“Tl take you somewhere for you to rest first,” Shen Hanxing made a prompt decision. She nodded at the socialites around her. “I’m sorry. My sister is not feeling well. I’ll chat with everyone another day.”

Sly little thing!

How could they have not have known that this little coward from the Ji family was so cunning! She actually pretended to be pitiful to gain Shen Hanxing’s sympathy. A scheming child!

The socialites gritted their teeth inwardly, but on the surface, they had to put on a docile and sensible smile. They agreed and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. The Ji family’s fifth miss health is important. Mrs. Ji, we’ll chat with you another day.”

Ji Qian also hated that Ji Ning had stolen Shen Hanxing’s attention, but she felt happy that the other socialites finally did not pester Shen Hanxing anymore.

Ji Qian rolled her eyes and simply grabbed Shen Hanxing’s arm. She asked uneasily, “Sister-in-law, I… I want to stay with you guys too. Is that okay?”

Her long hair was slightly curly, and when she lowered her head, the ends of her hair naturally fell. She looked both wronged and downcast. Shen Hanxing thought about how Ji Qian had experienced so many things earlier; Ji Qian was misunderstood by others, and she was even betrayed by her best

friend. Shen Hanxing’s heart instantly softened. She took the initiative to hold Ji Qian’s hand, “It’s okay.”

Ji Qian’s heart instantly bloomed with joy.

Ji Zhou’s gaze darkened as he watched his two sisters fight openly and covertly as if they were in a harem, fighting for the husband’s attention and affection. He drank the wine in his gla.s.s and pursed his lips, “Boring.”

Ji Yang sneered, “Hypocrite.”

Time gradually pa.s.sed. At ten o’clock at night, the soft music that had been playing in the banquet hall gradually stopped. The main event of this banquet was finally about to begin.

The Zhuang family’s old master returned to the banuet hall and grandly introduced the award-winning violin maestro, Lin Ran, on stage. Lin Ran was a middle-aged man who had not even reached 40 years old. Although his appearance was not outstanding, his temperament was very good. He was filled

with the refined aura of an artist, making people feel exceptionally comfortable.

Even though he had just won an international award that was extremely valuable, he was still modest and calm. After saying a couple of words on stage, he played a piece of music and then left the stage. Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone who came here knew that he intended to take in

students. If Lin Ran took them under his wing, it would be a very good advantage for these socialites. Thus, they tried their best to show off their talents.

Lin Ran listened to everyone’s performance very patiently. Every time a socialite had finished performing, he would give pointers seriously. Though he was gentle, it was not difficult to see that he had a very high standard for violin performance.

After waiting for a while, no one went on stage to perform. Lin Ran’s expression was a little regretful. Just as he was about to stand up and say something, a delicate and beautiful voice sounded from below the stage, “I would also like to ask Maestro Lin Ran to give me some pointers, but I don’t know if I

have the privilege to go on stage and perform for you.”

Dressed in a small gown and wearing light makeup, Shen Sisi looked like a lotus flower in clear water when she stood up. With a pure and innocent smile on her face, she looked at Lin Ran with antic.i.p.ation.

Lin Ran smiled warmly and sat back down on the chair. He raised his hand and said, “Please go ahead.”

Shen Sisi looked pure and striking to people. She had deliberately dressed up for tonight’s banquet to highlight her strengths. When she stood on the stage, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Shen Sisi was very talented with the violin, and the Shen family was willing to spend a lot of money to train her. With her already beautiful appearance, once she picked up the violin, her charms were even more irresistible. People could not help but want to look at her. They would feel that this little girl

was as beautiful as a fairy.

Shen Sisi knew that this was a rare opportunity for her to show off in high society. She took a deep breath and pulled the bow of the violin. The banquet hall rang with moving notes.

Shen Hanxing watched this scene coldly.

Shen Sisi had indeed put in a lot of effort practicing the violin. She demonstrated her professionalism to the crowd with extremely high standards. At the end of the performance, everyone was amazed regardless of their knowledge about the violin.

Lin Ran’s eyes also showed some relief, but he did not have the excitement of someone who had found a potential student. He simply nodded and praised, “Not bad. Your violin skills are very good. I can see that you have only put a lot of thought into it. Continue to maintain your enthusiasm for the violin.

You will definitely become an excellent violinist.”
