After Rebirth, She Shines

Chapter 36 Piano Queen

Everyone was as quiet as a mouse.

Although they were not professional piano students, Eastside University provided piano classes.

Among the students present, some have been playing the instrument for ten years, while others have for three years. They can all tell that Martha Barnes is truly playing at a professional advanced level.

Yet, Miah had listed her as worthless?

Soon, everyone understood.

Martha was targeting Miah from all aspects. It was natural for Miah to be jealous of Martha, that was most probably why Miah criticized Martha. Everyone understood. 

However, what they didn't know was that in Miah's opinion, Martha's level was really terrible!

Finally, the song ended!

The audience burst into warm applause!

Martha stood in the light beside the piano, her eyes full of hope. She fixed her eyes on the silver-haired man sitting in the crowd on a velvet chair with his eyes closed!

Deon William!

This man's hair was a prominent cool gray color, and his royal blue tuxedo made him look like a noble.

His fingers were slender and delicate, they were that worthy of a pianist. 

What was even more shocking was that, as a world-renowned top pianist, he did not look fat or old, he was handsome and elegant!

After a long while, Deon finally opened his mouth under the expectations of everyone present. 

"As an ordinary student who's not majoring in piano, it's not a bad attempt, there's a big room for improvement."

As soon as Deon finished speaking, everyone present was shocked!

Martha opened her mouth in disbelief!

"I've been majoring in Piano for twenty years, I'm a lecturer at Eastside University, not a student!" The sentence was stuck at the corner of Martha's mouth as she swallowed it back in. 

If she said it out loud, wouldn't she be giving herself a slap in the face?!

Martha was extremely embarrassed. The school management didn't expect such a thing to happen.

There was a moment of awkwardness in the stadium.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Martha saw a girl not far away, she was laughing in the class that Martha was teaching, it was a girl in a blue and black gown.

Martha was so angry that her face twisted in an instant.

It was Miah. Miah was mocking her!

Martha clenched her fists.

If Miah dared to make fun of her, then she would lose face in front of all the teachers and students in the school!

"Senior Deon, in fact, other students of ours played very well! Why don't we let her play a song for you?"

However, Deon was not very patient.

From Martha's level just now, he had a rough assessment of the overall level of the students at Eastside University.

Being invited to perform the opening act at an event like this means that Martha is undoubtedly the highest-level player in the school.

It could be seen that the music education at Eastside University was a mess and lacked greatly in spirit.

"There's no need. The lecture today should end earlier. I'm still in a hurry."

Deon William's words made the leaders of Eastside University feel a bit embarrassed.

They invited Deon here because they wanted to use this opportunity to open up Eastside Univerity's fame in the art industry.

They spent a lot of money to invite Martha and asked her to play in front of Deon so that Deon could recognize the standard the University upheld in hopes that Deon would consider collaborating with them.

But he actually said that he would leave early!

"Mr. Deon, since you're here, why don't you listen to another performance from the students?"

"Sure, Mr. Deon William," Martha Barnes also hypocritically said, "Although I didn't play well, the student I mentioned, she has been telling me that she is a winner of many competitions which I didn't even win! I believe she will not let you down!"

After that, she pointed at Miah. "Miah, come up!"

Martha's plan was extremely vicious.

She had seen Miah's information and the surveillance video of her piano class.

When everyone was practicing the piano seriously, Miah was the only one who did not touch the keys! Instead, she only stared blankly at the music sheet.

How can a child who grew up in a poor rural area have the opportunity to learn the piano, when simply having enough to eat is already considered a luxury?

Therefore, she concluded that Miah was a bumpkin who didn't even know how to read the music sheet!

She even lied, Miah had never boasted about her piano skills to her, yet she slandered her in this manner, obviously to make her be spurned by the whole school!

Miah could clearly see the tricks up Martha's sleeves.

She is now seen as someone who "often boasts about being a piano master". If she performed poorly, it will be embarrassing at best, but if she ruins the school's reputation, all the school leaders at Eastside University will remember it was her, Miah Sampson, who caused them to lose this opportunity by bragging.

"Miah, what should we do? Martha is deliberately trying to sabotage you!" The student next to her said nervously, "Why don't you just say that you can't?"

"That's right. She's the best this time. We admit defeat."

A few people who supported Miah tried to persuade her, but a sneer suddenly came.

"Ha, didn't someone just say that our goddess Martha played poorly earlier? Tsk tsk, now they're being slapped in the face, it's really hilarious!"

The person who spoke was once Eliza's good friend, and now she was Martha's fan.

Miah looked at her coldly. She immediately put down her goblet and stood up.

"It's a solid fact that her performance was lousy, it was even admitted by Deon Williams,"

Miah's eyes were fierce and cold. She continued, "There are some lackeys here that don't have much ability. They only know how to follow some low-class masters and shout everywhere."

"Did you go and hide when humans evolved? Why do you insist on barking when you were granted the body of a human?"

"You!" The woman was so angry that her face turned red as her neck swole up. "B*tch, if you have the guts, go and play!"

"Don't think that I don't know that you are like a dumb dog in every piano lesson. You don't even dare to touch the piano keys! You are a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing!"

Miah was so angry that she laughed, her laugh was mesmerizing. 

In the past, she didn't play it because she didn't want to expose herself.

Moreover, she was skilled in playing the piano. 

Aside from her own piano, she wouldn't simply play other people's piano. 

"Poor kid, I'll broaden your horizon today."

After that, Miah walked toward the stage!

Miah's dress today was designed to be a loose-fit skirt, and her ebony black hair was curled into waves. 

It was solemn, with a trace of laziness and nobility.

When she passed through the crowd and stood on the stage,

When Deon saw her face, he was so surprised that he stood up directly!

"It's you—"

With a calm face, Miah smiled and said to Deon, "Senior Deon, nice to meet you. My name is Miah. I'm an ordinary student studying at Eastside University."

"The performer just now was a subpar teacher in our University, sorry for the terrible performance!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar!

Miah actually said in public that Martha's level was subpar!

With such an arrogant tone, was she crazy?

Deon frowned slightly.

What she said just now was a hint that he should not reveal her identity.

It was strange. With her genius-like skills, why would she be an ordinary student at Eastside University?

And he had to conceal her identity?

However, he quickly figured it out. Miah must have her own reasons for doing this. He should respect her.

"You just addressed me as senior...that's too much for me, finally after so long, this trip would not be in vain since I can witness your performance first-hand."

Deon's words made everyone think that they were hallucinating!
