Ji Baichen didn't expect to see Ji Yexin here. She seemed more flustered than him.
Ji Baichen raised his smile gracefully and nodded as a greeting.
"Do you know each other?" Pan Ziling appeared, wearing a white dress with sequins and extremely delicate makeup. She was accompanied by Shen Chuzhi, Chu Yinling, Shang Beini, and an unknown girl.
"Don't you think she's pretty? It's okay to say hello to a pretty girl," Ji Baichen said.
"Can she be as beautiful as our Zi Ling?" Shang Beini said immediately.
"Well, technically speaking, she is Ji Chenling's aunt." Pan Simin introduced that she has a good relationship with my development manager, so she was invited as a family member.
"The richest man's aunt is so young." Shang Beini's eyes were shining brightly, and she wanted to curry favor with her.
Ji Baichen smiled slightly, she was the richest man's aunt, but the richest man didn't have a good relationship with them, but he didn't say it.
"What do you want to eat? Eat some high-protein seafood, it will help you lose weight." Ji Baichen said to Ma Sitong and walked to the dining table.
"Zi Ling, isn't Ji Baichen your bodyguard? Why is he hanging out with Ma Sitong?" Shang Beini asked in confusion.
"He has quite a personality." Pan Ziling said with dark eyes.
"I think he has a brain problem. Didn't you see how he fawned over the richest aunt just now? It's simply disgusting." Shang Beini complained.
Pan Ziling felt even more uncomfortable, "I'm not trying to fawn over, I just smiled. Let's go over and have something to eat."
Pan Ziling took a piece of steak and some noodles and sat next to Ji Baichen.
Ji Baichen glanced at it and saw that there were many empty seats. Seeing that Shang Beini was about to sit down, he asked, "Is there no other place to sit? There are so many of you gathered around this small place, isn't it crowded?"
"Ji Baichen, I have tolerated you for a long time. Today is at Uncle Ziling's house. Don't force me to scold you." Shang Beini said displeased.
Ji Baichen chuckled lightly, picked up the plate and said, "We have different paths and we don't want to work together. Disciple, let's go."
He found a seat in a corner and sat down, and Ma Sitong stood up.
"Don't you want to sit with us too?" Pan Ziling asked Ma Sitong, his voice pitiful and full of sorrow.
"No. My master asked me to come over. I'm sorry." Ma Sitong said softly, and went to sit with Ji Baichen.
"When did they become masters and apprentices? Did they recognize each other through playing games?" Shang Beini pursed her lips and said disdainfully.
Pan Ziling took a deep breath and said, "Benny, I don't want to eat. Help me go to the piano. I want to play the piano."
"Okay." Shang Beini and the others helped Pan Ziling sit at the piano.
"Your foot is injured, it's best not to play the piano." Shen Chuzhi reminded, looking at Pan Ziling with dark eyes.
"It's okay. The doctor said it's okay. I just twisted it slightly. After two days of rest, I'm almost healed." Pan Ziling said softly and started to play the piano.
Her music attracted the attention of many people.
"Mr. Pan, your niece plays the piano very well. She is truly worthy of being a daughter of a wealthy family. Her talent and appearance are both outstanding," someone praised her.
Pan Ziling looked towards Ji Baichen unconsciously.
He was eating dinner with his head down. "The noodles I had eaten for lunch had long been consumed. I drank coffee all afternoon, and the more I drank, the hungrier I became. The hungrier I became, and I just missed a bite of rice. However, if you eat so much, you can't hungry?"
Ma Sitong laughed, "I felt hungry on the first day of losing weight, and extremely hungry on the second day of losing weight, but I felt better on the fourth day."
"Day four? How many days have you been losing weight now? I think you seem to be thinner than you were at the beginning." Ji Baichen said.
"I started losing weight when I was in Mingsu. In four days, I lost seven pounds." Ma Sitong said.
"You are very thin, please pay attention to your health."
"Now, invite our classmate Ma Sitong to come over and play a song." Shang Beini's voice rang out.
Ma Sitong looked towards the stage.
Shang Beini continued: "I heard that you are taking the place of the talented girl in our school. Today, I want to see the splendor of the new talented girl."
"Is she sick? Is it because Cheng Xiaoxiao stopped participating in artistic performances? Did she encourage you to participate?" Ji Baichen asked Ma Sitong.
"You know her very well, it's her." Ma Sitong looked at Shang Beini, "I signed up for dance, and she insists on saying that I am a talented woman. Maybe Cheng Xiaoxiao's false reputation was given to her by her, and she wants these false names.
It’s boring.”
"Don't pay attention to her. Just pretend you don't know her." Ji Baichen said.
"Why, our Zi Ling has already played. How can you, a talented woman, not be as good as our Zi Ling, Ma Sitong?" Shang Beini said aggressively.
"If you are like this, why not announce it in the school? You are not as good as our Zi Ling. You are too cowardly. If you feel inferior, don't take the position of a talented woman." Shang Beini said in a sinister tone.
Ma Sitong stood up.
Ji Baichen held Ma Sitong's arm. "Young man, don't be so angry. Just treat her like a dog. If you go, you will be fooled by her."
Ma Sitong smiled slightly at Ji Baichen, "There is a saying that is good, never provoke people you don't understand, or they will slap you in the face in minutes."
"Huh?" Ji Baichen was surprised. Does she mean that she plays the piano very well?
He let go of his hand and waited to see what happened.
Ma Sitong came on stage.
"You're so mean." Shang Beini took the microphone and whispered.
Ma Sitong smiled, sat down in front of the piano, and played a piece of Liszt's "Bell". Anyone who knows piano knows that this "Bell" is very difficult to play and requires a lot of skill.
But Ma Sitong played it fluently, with a strong rhythm and smoothness, as if it was Liszt's own playing without a trace of reverie.
Her kind is completely different from Pan Ziling's. Pan Ziling's kind only needs to know how to play the piano and can play it after a few days of training.
However, Ma Sitong's piano may not be able to be played even if it is a level 10 piano, let alone such a smooth one.
Ji Yexin couldn't help but look at the stage. This girl was young, and she thought she could play better than Yin Ruo.
Although Yin Ruo has skills, he has no spirituality. This girl has.
After the song ended, Ma Sitong looked at Shang Beini and smiled, "Are you still satisfied?"
Shang Beini was also shocked. Although she was not good at playing, she had learned it and knew that Ma Sitong was at the level of a master.
"Why didn't you say you could play the piano?" Shang Beini said displeased.
"Tell me, will you give her a chance to perform?" Ji Baichen came on stage. "Now, the last performer's piano skills are as good as those of a primary school student." Shang Beini saw Pan Ziling's face pale and said,
"Zi Ling, that's not what I meant. I didn't know she could play the piano."
