Chapter 78 -78 Wealthy “True Daughter” PK Countryside Illegitimate Daughter?

After sending off Osborne, Lu Sheng took a taxi back to the Lu Family. freewёbnoνel.com

The following Thursday and Friday were calm and peaceful.

It seemed that Qianrou was going all out for this piano competition; she locked herself in her room upstairs practicing piano all day and was not seen outside, thus she didn’t cause any trouble.

Lu Sheng went to school as usual, enjoying this rare peace.

But this peaceful life lasted only for three days.

On Sunday morning, this tranquility was shattered by a Weibo post from the piano competition’s official account.

[@China Piano Competition Committee:]

[Announcement: This year’s piano competition will be held next Monday at 7 PM at the Jiang City Convention and Exhibition Center.]

[The committee has sincerely invited the world-renowned pianist Chuck Osborne to serve as the head judge of this competition.]

[The list of contestants and their credentials are now published below. Let’s meet and not miss each other next Monday at 7 PM.]

Osborne is really coming to be a judge at this year’s China Piano Competition!

Once the official Weibo post of the piano competition was uploaded, it surged to the top of Weibo’s trending topics within a few hours, and even exploded in popularity for half a day.

Before this, there had been rumors online about the committee inviting Osborne to be a judge. Many people expressed disbelief, as Osborne, being a world-class pianist, seemed unlikely to attend even though the piano competition is the highest standard in China.

However, the official blog post confirmed the rumors, naturally exciting netizens.

After all, this is a person who has entered the textbooks while still alive, unquestionably a master and legend in the music and piano worlds. For his first visit to China, the opportunity for them to see him in person at the venue was thrilling.

Following the shock of the news that Osborne would be a judge, people began to check the list of contestants.

The piano competition is national and quite distinctive.

Contestants are not selected based on age, profession, or gender; they can apply with their resumes and works, and the committee selects from these. Alternatively, contestants can be invited by the committee solely based on their strength.

Thus, regardless of the method, the skill level of all contestants is top-notch nationwide.

Upon opening the list of contestants, each name is followed by a dazzling array of their credentials and awards from childhood onwards.

These people are mostly those who have been winning first or second place in various children’s piano competitions from a very young age.

This includes Qianrou, of course.

Her resume is quite impressive.

All are significant domestic competitions, and she has won them all, rightfully earning a bit of fame online as a Musical Genius Girl.

The list is sorted by the first letter of the contestants’ surnames.

The length of Qianrou’s list of awards makes Lu Sheng, who follows her on the list, seem all the more abrupt.

Or rather, without comparing to Qianrou, Lu Sheng looks completely out of place in the entire list.

Because behind everyone else’s name is a long string of text, but behind hers, there is only a simple word, “none.”

[Lu Sheng, none.]

This puzzled many netizens.

What does ‘none’ mean? Does it mean that Lu Sheng has never participated in a piano competition, or that she has never won any awards in any piano competition?

Regardless of which, her piano skill must not be high.

How could such a person even participate in the competition???

Soon, someone in the comments questioned how someone who has never won any piano competition awards could qualify for this event, asking if the committee had given her a backdoor entry.

So, seeing Lu Sheng’s name on the list, lots of them rushed to Lu Qianrou’s blog, saying they want to see her defeat Lu Sheng in the contest.

—Defeat Lu Sheng in the contest?

Lu Qianrou never expected that Lu Sheng could also enter the competition!

Lu Qianrou had no idea about the relationship between Lu Sheng and Osborne, let alone imagine that Lu Sheng was personally recommended by Osborne to the contest committee.

Seeing Lu Sheng’s name on the list, Lu Qianrou had only four words in her mind— How is she worthy? How is she worthy??

How could this rural wild breed be worthy of appearing on the same list with her, participating in the same competition?!

Lu Qianrou trembled with anger, feeling like no matter what good happens, this Lu Sheng always has to meddle.

Just then, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Tang Yiyi.

[Did you see the piano competition participant list? Lu Sheng is on it??]

Lu Qianrou took a deep breath to calm her rage and replied: [I just don’t understand, how did someone with no competition history whatsoever manage to get her application approved?]

Lu Qianrou never even considered the possibility that Lu Sheng didn’t apply at all; it was a direct invitation from the committee.

Lu Qianrou was just venting, but didn’t expect Tang Yiyi to reply: [You wouldn’t believe it, but I know what’s going on.]

Lu Qianrou stunned: [You know what’s going on?]

Tang Yiyi: [That Wednesday night, Meng Bin and I saw Lu Sheng at a five-star hotel, guess what she was there for?]

[She was at a hotel room with an old man! That old man looked to be in his fifties, even older than your dad.]

[I initially thought she was just after money, but now it seems that guy must be one of the heads of the committee.]

[To think she got her spot in the piano contest by sleeping with an old man, this Lu Sheng is really something.]

After saying this, Tang Yiyi sent over a clearly secretly taken photo.
