A Beautiful Misunderstanding

"Are you deliberately trying to humiliate my wife?" Zac leaned over and whispered to Mary's ear with restrained anger.

"What are you talking about? I asked her before we arrived here and she said she knew how to play the piano." Casting him a stare, Mary said in a sharp tone, "The daughter-in-law of the Rong family is very popular and behaves very well at any parties of celebrities. Do you want an exception for her?"

"No other woman could ever compare with my wife." Zac took Essie's hand while he stared into her eyes and murmured, "I'll play with you."

There was a subtle smile on her face and she said nonchalantly, "There's no need for that. Could I play just any song?"

"If you really don't know how to play, you could just go and play 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'," Valery burst out with a huge contemptuous smile plastered on her face. In that moment she could already imagine how Essie would make a fool of herself in front of the audience. 'Mommy is so clever. Essie will be the laughing stock of the whole high class societies by tomorrow. Too bad for her, she won't be able to show herself to the public after this,' Valery thought to herself with her lips curling into a sinister grin.

Essie couldn't even bother to respond to her, as if the words went straight out to her other ear.

She walked with elegance to the stage, and she had a calm and graceful demeanor.

Mary was surprised at the sight of her composure as she went to the front.

"I will now begin my performance," Essie said with a smile that made her look like a blooming lotus.

When the sound rang from the piano, the whole banquet hall settled down into silence.

Both Mary and Valery's faces contorted into a revolted expression at the same time.

Essie played a piece called 'Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op.30' composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff, which was considered one of the ten most challenging piano concertos in the standard classical piano repertoire. It was one of the pieces that famous pianists would play to show off their technical skills.

Besides that, the section of the piece that Essie played was the most difficult part.

Her fingers moved with whimsical exuberance along the keys. The series of running notes ran around like ten thousand horses galloping in a desolate field, majestic and powerful. It could also be compared to a waterfall gushing into river, shocking everyone in the audience.

A loud and rapturous applause burst out from the audiences in the banquet hall.

Zac himself was also shocked as he watched his wife on stage.

His little fool was not only a skilled and excellent golf player, but was also talented and masterful in playing the piano.

He wondered how many more secrets he would discover from her.

"Sister-in-law is remarkable! I can't even properly play this concerto until now." Ivy gawked at Essie's figure with praise and admiration.

"I also failed to complete this piece as I found it too difficult. Never thought that sister-in-law would be so good at playing," interjected Daisy, who was also overwhelmed with astonishment.

Valery watched with hard staring eyes as anger brewed inside her soul. She started to get dizzy and felt like she was about to faint. It felt like she had come from the moon and had fallen into the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. In this moment, Valery was reminded of her childhood nemesis, Cathy, who could master the world's top ten piano concertos. In their youth, she would catch everyone's attention by playing different challenging piano pieces, and would leave Valery completely invisible to everyone.

She had always hated Cathy so much that she cursed her a hundred times every night before she went to bed.

Essie was like an exact replica of Cathy, who had always cast a huge shadow on her.
