Thus, Xiang Shao felt in his heart that he had already won!
"This... no, no, I don't even have a son, and suddenly you have such a big grandson. I can't accept it."
Ye Fei waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to think for a moment.
"..."
Xiang Shao would have been fine if he hadn't heard Ye Fei, but the moment he did, his face stiffened!
This little brat, trying to take advantage of him?
"Then... what do you want to bet?"
Xiang Shao put away his smile and stared intently at Ye Fei.
"Bet what? I don't know! Besides, looking at your terms, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage!"
Ye Fei looked at Xiang Shao and said after pretending to think for a while.
"How about this, if Young Master Xiang loses, you'll kneel down and kowtow to my wife, apologize, and promise not to bother her again, how about it?"
Immediately, Ye Fei continued before Xiang Shao could reply.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Xiang Shao's expression changed drastically upon hearing Ye Fei's words!
The smile on his face completely disappeared.
Furthermore, Xiang Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at Ye Fei.
The atmosphere in the venue instantly became heavy and oppressive.
"Ye Fei! Don't talk nonsense!"
Even Qin Lan's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately scolded Ye Fei!
This guy was deliberately escalating the situation!
"So, is Young Master Xiang brave enough?"
Ye Fei ignored Qin Lan and looked at Xiang Shao, asking.
"If Young Master Xiang is afraid, then forget I said anything! Also... someone like Young Master Xiang, if he were to kneel, wouldn't that be a laughingstock! Never mind, never mind, just kidding, just kidding."
Ye Fei muttered the latter half of his sentence to himself.
However, although Ye Fei muttered the latter half to himself, his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"Fine! I'll bet with you!"
At this moment, Xiang Shao, whether he was blinded by anger or had extreme confidence in his piano skills, directly roared at Ye Fei.
"Young Master Xiang agreed?"
Ye Fei's eyes widened, looking at Xiang Shao with surprise.
Then, before Xiang Shao could speak, Ye Fei added, "This time, Young Master Xiang won't say it was a joke later and find excuses to renege, right?"
"Hmph! How can I be someone who breaks his word!"
Xiang Shao snorted coldly and said to Ye Fei.
"If that's the case, then I'll assume Young Master Xiang is serious. If you go back on your word later, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
Ye Fei glanced at Xiang Shao deeply, then casually said in a half-joking tone.
Damn it, he didn't want to bother with this brat originally.
But Ye Fei realized... his yielding had only made this brat more and more presumptuous!
As if he really felt that Ye Fei was afraid of him!
Since that was the case, Ye Fei would settle it once and for all today, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!
"Say that after you win! Anyone can talk big!"
Xiang Shao also turned his face cold and said directly to Ye Fei, without wasting any more words or beating around the bush.
"Then listen carefully, Young Master Xiang..."
Ye Fei glanced at Xiang Shao, then stopped wasting time.
Using strength to slap someone in the face was always more convincing and impactful than arguing with words!
Ding!
Ye Fei's fingers landed on the piano keys, and he began to play.
With a melodious piano melody, Ye Fei's performance, which stunned everyone, began!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The moment Ye Fei started, Xiang Shao's expression changed.
Because Xiang Shao discovered... Ye Fei was actually playing a foreign classical piano piece of extremely high difficulty!
The difficulty of this piece was so high that even Xiang Shao himself couldn't reach it yet and play it!
Anyone who knew a little about piano would immediately know that to play the piece Ye Fei was playing now required at least a Grade 9 pianist's skill!
Grade 9 pianist!
This guy was actually a Grade 9 pianist?
No! That's not right!
A Grade 9 pianist could only manage to play it, and barely at that.
To truly play it well required the skill of a Grade 10 pianist!
And judging by Ye Fei's smooth playing with his eyes closed, it was clearly beyond a shaky Grade 9 performance.
The moment Ye Fei started, he closed his eyes and played with flowing ease!
This guy was a Grade 10 pianist?
Thinking this, Xiang Shao's face became even more unsightly, as if he had eaten something unpleasant!
The entire venue fell silent instantly.
Everyone was from the social elite, and while many might not know much about piano, some certainly did!
And because of that, at a certain moment, gasps of surprise suddenly erupted from the crowd!
A little bit!
Is that just a little bit?
If a pianist of at least Grade 10 skill was only "a little bit" proficient, then what was Xiang Shao's Grade 8 worth?
At this moment, everyone immediately understood that from the very beginning, Ye Fei had been treating Xiang Shao like a monkey.
And judging by Xiang Shao's appearance, he was clearly enjoying it!
Even feeling good about himself!
However, come to think of it... it wasn't entirely Ye Fei's fault!
After all, it was Xiang Shao who had actively provoked Ye Fei, and Ye Fei was merely retaliating passively!
Time ticked by, and Ye Fei's piece finally came to an end.
The entire venue was silent, so much so that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
After an unknown amount of time, everyone's gaze simultaneously fell upon Xiang Shao!
"Young Master Xiang, how was it?"
Ye Fei stood on the elevated platform, smiling and looking down at Xiang Shao!
Swish! Swish!
Xiang Shao's expression instantly changed!
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and simply stared up at Ye Fei.
"You've been toying with me all along?"
Xiang Shao looked at Ye Fei and said in a deep voice.
At this point, he knew clearly that Ye Fei had been playing with him all along!
What was infuriating was that he hadn't noticed anything and had fallen step by step into Ye Fei's trap!
"Young Master Xiang! You can eat anything, but you can't say anything without proof. I toyed with you? Where's the evidence?"
Ye Fei looked at Xiang Shao and became unhappy on the spot.
"You!"
Xiang Shao was so angry that Ye Fei's retort left him speechless.
"Everyone here saw it. It seems you were the one who proposed the bet back then!"
"You said it was a joke at first, and I took you seriously. And later, I asked you repeatedly, and you said you were serious!"
"Since that's the case, then kneel down and apologize to my wife, and promise not to bother her again."
Ye Fei showed no mercy and directly spoke to Xiang Shao.
Swish! Swish!
Xiang Shao's already unpleasant expression turned even uglier!
"Do you really want to drag me down with you?"
Xiang Shao did not kneel. His arrogant pride would not allow him to do so.
His gaze fell on Ye Fei, he took a deep breath, and said with a chilling tone.
At this moment, anyone could discern the chilling intent in Xiang Shao's words!
Clearly, Xiang Shao was truly enraged!
"Ye Fei, that's enough. This matter..."
Seeing this, Qin Lan's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately said to Ye Fei.
"Wife, don't worry about this. It's my business!"
Ye Fei jumped down from the platform before Qin Lan could finish speaking.
Others might fear Xiang Shao, but Ye Fei didn't!
Originally, Ye Fei didn't want to bother with this brat, but what this brat had done before had made Ye Fei very angry!
Since he wanted to play, Ye Fei would play along!
After all, Ye Fei still had some time! He was just afraid Xiang Shao couldn't afford to lose!
"A true man stands by his word! You said it so quickly, and now you don't want to admit it?"
Ye Fei said with a cold smile, looking at Xiang Shao again.
Xiang Shao simply stared intently at Ye Fei, the deep killing intent in his eyes undisguised. He did not speak.
"I believe Young Master Xiang has heard me. If you renege on your debt, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
Ye Fei's smile suddenly vanished, and he said in a cold tone.
Then, before Xiang Shao could speak, Ye Fei added, "Since Young Master Xiang's knees are stiff and he can't kneel, then I'll give you a hand!"
