On the other hand, Li Jing felt a bit of embarrassment, aware of how her mother's behavior was being perceived. However, she kept her opinion to herself, knowing that she still needed to manipulate her mother's influence to rid herself of Li Na. Upsetting her mother at this crucial time was not an option she was willing to risk.
As Li Yifeng stepped off the stage, the host's voice resonated through the hall, announcing the arrival of a special performance. "And now, it is my pleasure to welcome Li Jing to the stage for her performance."
All eyes turned towards Li Jing as she made her way to the center of stage. She wore a white off-shoulder dress. Li Jing possessed a square-shaped face, much like her mother. It was a stark contrast to Li Na's own delicate and graceful features.
While Li Jing may have known how to highlight her features to appear more appealing.
Li Na, unimpressed by Li Jing's showmanship, rolled her eyes at the sight. But it wasn't just Li Jing's facial angles that caught Li Na's attention.
Li Na discreetly caught a glimpse of Li Jing wearing a butt pad, attempting to create the illusion of an hourglass figure. The sight amused Li Na, who found it rather comical.
As Li Jing took her place at the grand piano, her nimble fingers gracefully danced across the keys. The melody that emanated from the instrument was enchanting, filling the hall with a captivating allure.
"Li Jing's talent is truly a testament to her upbringing."
"Not only is she blessed with incredible musical abilities, but her parents have instilled in her a sense of discipline."
"It's a rare combination indeed," replied another, their gaze fixed on the stage."
As Li Yifeng and Zhang Mei listened to the hushed whispers circulating among the crowd, a smile crept across their faces. The pride swelled within them to such an extent that they felt like they could leap onto the roof and shout. This was the daughter they had painstakingly nurtured.
As the last note faded into the air, the hall erupted in thunderous applause, acknowledging Li Jing's performance.
As Li Jing stood up and gracefully took a bow, a smug smile stretched across her face.
Ning Yu leaned in and whispered to Li Na, "So, how was Li Jing's performance? Did she manage to impress?"
Li Na glanced at Li Jing, her expression calm "Well," Li Na began, her gaze fixed on Li Jing, "she was… decent, I believe she has the potential to do even better.
Li Jing's voice resonated through the hall as she extended her invitation to Li Na, her smile was that of a serpent. "And now, it is my great pleasure to invite my dear elder sister to join me on this stage for a duet."
The camera swiftly turned to focus on Li Na, her radiant face illuminated on the large screen. Li Na's beautiful face, casting a mesmerizing glow that captivated the onlookers. Whispers of anticipation rippled through the audience, their gazes fixated on the screen where Li Na's image was projected.
Among the male guests, some couldn't help but blush at the sight of Li Na's radiant beauty. Their hearts raced, like tigers ready to pounce on their prey.
"I didn't know the Li family had such a stunning daughter. She's absolutely beautiful!"
"Where have they been hiding her all this time?"
"I can't take my eyes off her. I think I'm in love"
"If I had known the Li family had such a daughter, I would have attended their events much earlier!"
Amidst the brewing excitement, Li Na remained composed and unruffled.
Ning Yu, seated beside Li Na, felt a bit of concern. She knew that Li Na didn't possess any instrumental skills as far as she was aware of, and she didn't want her friend to face potential embarrassment. Her thoughts wondered, questioning the nature of Li Na's relationship with her sister. Was Li Jing secretly wishing for Li Na's downfall?
However, Li Na stood up, her expression calm and collected, and flashed Ning Yu a reassuring smile as she made her way to the stage.
Li Na stood tall by Li Jing's side, as she took hold of the microphone, a hush fell over the audience. The spotlight cast a glow upon her, accentuating her regal presence on the stage.
