CHAPTER 278: CHAPTER 278

"What do you mean?" Zhou Tongtong felt a bit guilty; no one knew better than her that the person playing the violin back then wasn’t her, and she didn’t know who it was.

Very few people in the town played musical instruments, and even the mayor’s daughter played the piano, so she had no idea who played the violin.

"Was that person back then really you?" Rong Yun felt his heart had suddenly emptied, that rare feeling of losing something precious made him a bit agitated.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Of course, it was me back then." Zhou Tongtong thought that as long as she denied it firmly, Rong Yun wouldn’t be able to be certain about who it was back then.

"Could it be that your playing has lost its spirit because too much time has passed?" Rong Yun stepped back in frustration.

"But I played the same way back then!" Zhou Tongtong seemed very aggrieved.

"What... what should we do? Should she still go on stage?" Brother Yang looked nervously at Rong Yun; after following this man for so many years, it was the first time he’d seen Rong Yun lose his composure like this.

"No need, let’s cut that song too." Rong Yun shook his head; Zhou Tongtong’s current level wasn’t even considered average. He absolutely wouldn’t allow someone of that level to appear on his stage.

It was a stage he loved; he wouldn’t allow any flaws. He had to be responsible for his devoted fans.

"How can this be? This song is the main feature of the year! The votes showed it’s what the fans are most looking forward to!"

"I’m really not in the mood to sing right now!" Rong Yun shook his head in defeat.

Zhou Tongtong realized, excitedly questioning, "You mean you don’t need me anymore? How can you do this! Are you deliberately messing with me?"

"..." Rong Yun remained silent, still unable to recover from his disappointment.

"We messed with you, didn’t you also ask for dozens of concert tickets from me? Those tickets are five thousand yuan each, you calculate how much that is!" Brother Yang wasn’t easy to mess with, and he immediately retorted.

"You all... you all... you’re too much!" Zhou Tongtong was completely unable to accept this reality. In her rage, she threw that expensive violin away.

Everyone was startled. That violin was crafted by one of the world’s most renowned masters, worth at least tens of millions!

Just as everyone was staring with wide eyes, a figure quickly dashed forward, and a beautiful hand steadily caught the elegant violin.

Rong Yun was also shocked; it was his most beloved instrument. If it wasn’t for liking Zhou Tongtong’s performance so much, he would never have let anyone else touch it!

Qiao Qiqi took the violin and placed it on her shoulder, holding the bow with her other hand and placing it onto the creamy-white violin.

"Ha! Qiao Qiqi, you must be crazy! Not just anyone can play the violin!" Zhou Tongtong was so angry her eyes were red, and her words were full of malice.

Although everyone disliked Zhou Tongtong, her words were crude but true—people who can’t play the violin would only produce noise!

Qiao Qiqi just smiled slightly, then, under everyone’s gaze, pressed down the bow. Accompanied by her graceful movements, beautiful ethereal notes floated out, clear as raindrops, slowly permeating people’s hearts, cleansing each person’s inner unrest, making their minds peaceful and serene...

Everyone stared dumbstruck at the girl equally immersed in the music, the sound so enchanting that even the light pouring down from above seemed to gleam brightly!
