Just got divorced and immediately got seduced by the stunning senior sister-Chapter 22 - Known a Bit

From slow to fast, his fingers began to dance across them.

After the piece ended, and seeing the other patrons engrossed, Chen Wei felt indifferent about Lin Haiyan’s piano skills and summed them up in three words: quite ordinary.

Too by-the-book, full of technique, but utterly devoid of emotion, like a template played by a machine.

It was clear to see it was a puppet show, a result of relentless practice and rote memorization.

“How about it?

He plays really well, doesn’t he?” Su Yumei asked Chen Wei.

“Not bad,” Chen Wei replied.

“What do you mean ‘not bad’?

He’s won many awards in music competitions.

I asked the owner; they pay him a yearly salary of five million to perform here twice a week, half an hour each time,” Su Yumei added.

Chen Wei wanted to say more but was interrupted as Lin Haiyan had already gotten up and, taking a rose from the piano, approached Su Yumei, “For you, Miss Su.”

“Thank you,” Su Yumei accepted Lin Haiyan’s gesture graciously.

In fact, every time Su Yumei came here, Lin Haiyan would give her a rose.

Su Yumei didn’t overthink it, simply taking it as Lin Haiyan’s appreciation for having such an understanding audience.

“Miss Su, you didn’t come alone today?

Who is this?” Lin Haiyan noticed Chen Wei’s presence.

“He is my…” Su Yumei began, but then abruptly said, “This is my boyfriend, Chen Wei.”

“Boyfriend!” Lin Haiyan’s tone clearly changed, his gaze at Chen Wei now obviously hostile.

Chen Wei felt helpless inside.

It looked like just another man with designs on his senior sister.

“Hello,” Lin Haiyan approached, extending his hand.

“Hello,” Chen Wei responded politely, yet could feel the other man increasing the pressure of the handshake as if to threaten him.

Hmph.

Chen Wei naturally would not be outdone and added a bit more strength as well.

Lin Haiyan immediately sensed something was amiss and showed a pained expression.

“Wei,” Su Yumei called out, aware that the two were competing.

Chen Wei then released his hand.

Lin Haiyan hid his hand behind his back, shaking, but forced a smile on his face and said, “Mr.

Chen, do you also understand the piano?

I wonder what you think of my performance?”

Lin Haiyan knew Su Yumei liked the piano and wanted to use his expertise to thoroughly embarrass Chen Wei.

Every man, in front of his own woman, wouldn’t want to be seen as ignorant and would certainly pretend to know more; Lin Haiyan was well aware of this mentality.

“Hmm…” Chen Wei thought for a moment, raised his finger towards the piano.

“I think instead of talking about it, why not let me play a piece, how about that?”

“You can play the piano?” Lin Haiyan was somewhat surprised.

“Just a little bit,” Chen Wei nodded.

Just a little bit and he dares to show off in front of me, who has won the provincial gold medal three times in a row.

He’s really overestimating himself!

“Okay, go ahead then,” Lin Haiyan thought Chen Wei was practically throwing his face in for a slap, considering he had just played a melody that sounded like music from heaven, and now Chen Wei was going to play…

There’s a saying, ‘Without comparison, there would be no harm!’

Even if Chen Wei really could play the piano, he certainly couldn’t be better than himself.

Inevitably, it would be a scene full of sighs, mockery, and ridicule.

With that level of skill, he dares to perform in front of Master Lin?

No way, if it’s about pretending to be something he’s not, then it’s even more pathetic, like saying he’s shot himself in the foot wouldn’t be an overstatement.

“What is this guy doing?

Why is he sitting at the piano?”

“He can’t possibly be thinking of playing, can he?”

“Uh, what’s with this hotel?

I came here specifically for Master Lin’s reputation, and you’re letting some nobody come and insult my ears?”

“If it sounds bad, I’ll definitely lodge a complaint!”

…

The rhythm storm arrived even faster than Lin Haiyan had expected.

Lin Haiyan looked forward to seeing Su Yumei’s disappointed face at this point.

But to his surprise, Su Yumei was actually looking at Chen Wei with anticipation.

When had he learned to play the piano?

Not just Su Yumei, but the other five senior sisters all knew that Chen Wei learned things quickly.

Since he dared to stand up there, he must have achieved something!

How could Su Yumei not have expectations?

The higher you’re lifted, the harder you fall!

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

Lin Haiyan couldn’t help but laugh, not with anger but amusement.

Then, Chen Wei placed his ten fingers on the piano keys, tested the sound, and began to play.

Fast at times, slow at others, the connections were just right, not feeling abrupt at all.

As the piano sounds spread, all those negative voices instantly disappeared.

In a blink, they were all immersed in the utopia constructed by Chen Wei’s music, sunk into it, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

“How, how is this possible!” Lin Haiyan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

As a professional, he understood much better than anyone else just how high Chen Wei’s playing level was.

Compared to himself…

no, he had no right whatsoever to be mentioned in the same breath as him!

This was an insult to him!

What was most important was that Chen Wei’s piano music was full of emotional color, unlike his own formulaic playing.

This was an achievement Lin Haiyan couldn’t reach in several lifetimes!

He knew this better than anyone else, for certain.

As the last note fell, everyone stood up, and the applause was thunderous.

Lin Haiyan knew he had lost, utterly convinced in heart and mind.

If it weren’t for the fact that Chen Wei seemed younger than himself, and if he weren’t so proud, plus had there been no teacher, he would have asked to become his disciple right then and there.

When Chen Wei walked down from the stage, Lin Haiyan bowed deeply, “I’m sorry, I was blind before.”

He had completely given up the pursuit of Su Yumei in his heart, because Chen Wei had thoroughly crushed him in the field he was skilled at!

“It’s nothing,” Chen Wei waved his hand.

“Um, can I ask you one more question?” Lin Haiyan tentatively spoke.

“Hmm, sure,” Chen Wei nodded.

“This piano piece is very classic, yet I’ve never heard it before.

May I ask, where did you learn it?” Lin Haiyan was convinced that once this piece was released, it would absolutely be a worldwide sensation, a classic among classics.

There’s no way he wouldn’t have heard of it.

“You’re talking about this?…

I improvised it,” Chen Wei said.
