Chapter 44 Barely Passed

Applaud!~

Many people among the audience cheered, including those women.

Mark is not honestly that good looking but he is a rich second generation. He even had the confidence to come on the stage which makes him even more desirable.

Many people are also looking forward to Mark's performance.

This time, Mark intends to make all the guests including Eliza and Liam look at him with admiration. And make Eliza realise what she is truly missing.

Mark took a deep breath and then put his fingers on the keys.

And then he began to play slowly!

Liam sips red wine and occasionally chats with his aunt while listening to Mark's performance.

Mark's performance was that of an elegant and soothing melody.

Although it can be said that the sound was kind of jerky which might be due to a lack of practice for a long time.

But Liam had to say that Mark actually played very well.

There were still many people who wanted to come on stage but they thought that Mark did a decent job and there was nothing more to show because Mark played better than them. After all, Mark's piano skills are at a professional level.

Liam knew very well that Mark playing the piano allowed him to show off.

"Okay! The performance was great!" Many people applauded.

The eyes of some noble young ladies are on fire, looking at Mark at this time.

Many people praised Mark.

After all, his piano skills are indeed at the professional level.

Mark said modestly, "It's nothing big. Had this piano not had a few key problems, I would have played a little better."

Although Mark spoke modestly, Liam could hear the arrogance in his tone.

Liam glanced at Mark's triumphant gaze.

Mark also looked at Liam, but after seeing his expressionless face, he turned away.

Mark also was looking forward to seeing Eliza's surprised eyes, but what he saw was pure disgust.

He could not understand why she was disgusted after listening to his piano performance. His piano skills are obviously very good but why doesn't Eliza realize how good he was? Mark became a little confused.

Actually, according to Eliza, Liam's piano skills are way better than that of Mark.

This is why after listening to Mark's performance, she doesn't appreciate it that much.

Moreover, Eliza loathed Mark very much and has nearly reached the pinnacle. What Mark always did was just to add to her disgust every time.

'What is happening. I don't know anymore.' Mark frowned.

Eliza is extremely disgusted by Mark.

Eliza immediately looked at Lin Yuan, "Xiao Liam, your piano skills are much better than him, right? Aunt wants to hear it."

Liam's piano skills are indeed much better than Mark so she said the same thing without wavering.

Eliza wanted to see and hear for herself how good her nephew is at the piano after so many years.

If it was someone else Liam won't heed their request, but he also wants to see his aunt happy so couldn't deny it when she looked at him with anticipation in her eyes which shines like stars in the galaxy.

But Liam just took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Aunt, don't worry. There will be a chance for me to play it for you."

"Right now, someone is playing and I can't just tell him to get off the stage, right?"

"You are right." Eliza smiled, but she looked forward even more to attesting Liam's piano skills for herself.

She is very familiar with Liam's light-hearted look because she also did the same when she is very sure and confident of what she says.

'But Mark's piano skills are already at the professional level, can Liam really surpass it?'

Although she said to Liam that she wants to hear him play, she was still somewhat hesitant but also very curious.

Mark played another piece.

Mark found out that the target he wanted to attract attention wasn't very successful.

Instead, she only paid attention to Liam.

But Mark still feels good since most of the people were impressed by his performance.

At this time, many people from the audience rooted for him.

This great piano skill combined with Mark's temperament, made many wealthy ladies and young ladies' eyes brighten.

Mark is still very satisfied with what he has accomplished so far.

Mark glanced at his escorts.

They understood what Mark meant, then immediately shouted: "Young Master, you are absolutely amazing at playing the piano!"

"Young Master, you play really well!"

"Mr Mark, you are great!"

Heeding Mark's bodyguards' exclamation, many people also followed.

Mark, however, humbly responded: "No, no. Everyone can do it. I play very mediocrely. Also, the quality of the piano is mediocre as well. There are a few keys that are not very sensitive, otherwise, I would have played even better. I barely passed."

"How come?! Why do you say you barely passed, when you played very well?"

"Yes! You played really well!'

"You passed with full marks!"

After pretending to be humble, Mark heard what he wanted to hear.

But at this moment, someone said something that made Mark's extremely ugly face come out and the noisy audience silenced instantly.

"Indeed, you are right, you barely passed. In fact, you overestimated yourself. In my opinion, you didn't even reach the passing line."

Seeing Liam was the one who spits out those words from the audience, Mark's face became abnormally gloomy.

Liam had been quietly watching Mark playing the piano earlier.

Mark's piano skill is actually at the professional level.

But hearing Mark's remarks earlier that the quality of the piano is just mediocre and some keys are insensitive, Liam laughed in his heart.

Actually, these remarks are like a slap to His aunt Eliza's face. As she was the one who organized the party on behalf of the chairman.

Sure enough, upon hearing the same, Eliza who was chatting happily with Liam, the smile on her face disappeared.

Mark said two times already that there is a problem with the piano.

But the truth is, he was just pretending that he could do better had the piano been of better quality and that there wasn't any problem with the keys.

But this is like belittling Eliza.

After all, this was a banquet organised by her, and Mark said two times already that the piano she positioned there was of mediocre quality and defective.

Hehe… Mark doesn't know that the banquet was organized by Eliza and that's why he also said that 'He didn't expect her to come to the banquet' at first when they met at the start of the banquet.

Poor thing didn't even realise he had caught the fire while lighting the fireworks.

What does he mean?

He is very good at playing the piano, and the piano does not match his level.
