Chapter 866 - Every Year

Everyone could not help but look at Tang Ruge. She was frowning and biting her lip aggrievedly. Tears trickled down her face. “Xi Xi, we’re friends. I didn’t want to bicker with you about this, but now that everyone knows about this, your reputation will be completely ruined if you still don’t apologize.

“I’ve never thought of asking you to apologize, but everyone is scolding you online now. If you still don’t repent, then I can’t help you. As long as you apologize obediently, I’ll help you explain and try my best to save your dignity.”

In the eyes of everyone, not only had Qiao Xi snatched away the ancient zither that should have belonged to Fu Sheng, but she also wanted to stand on the podium in Fu Sheng’s place. If she was still unwilling to apologize, then everyone would absolutely not let the matter go.

As soon as Tang Ruge finished speaking, everyone looked at Qiao Xi with disdain and disgust.

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up slightly as she said casually, “There are records for the charity banquet’s auction. If you want to know, you can investigate and see if I used Fu Sheng’s identity. If I really caused trouble for Fu Sheng, then I should indeed apologize.”

Hearing these words, Tang Ruge instantly beamed with joy. She originally thought that Qiao Xi would spout nonsense in front of everyone, but she did not expect her to back down so quickly. It seemed that she was afraid. If she really apologized, it meant that she had indeed deliberately snatched the ancient zither away.

Tang Ruge was thinking about how to scheme against Qiao Xi when the next second—

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Tang Ruge. Her icy-cold eyes seemed to want to see through Tang Ruge as she sneered. “Unfortunately… you’re not Fu Sheng.”

She paused and deliberately dragged out her words with a teasing expression.

Everyone was stunned. Qiao Xi was implying that Tang Ruge was not Fu Sheng? How was that possible?! Planet Music Festival had already verified Tang Ruge’s identity and was holding an award ceremony to give out the award to her today!

[What nonsense is she spouting? She’s saying that Tang Ruge isn’t Fu Sheng when her scandal was exposed. She’s too shameless!]

Everyone below the stage could not help but look at Madam Tang with some doubt. “Madam Tang, could it be…”

Madam Tang’s heart burned with anger. Because everyone was present, she could only pretend to be calm. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. She just doesn’t want to apologize, so she’s slandering our Ruge. I’m Ruge’s mother. This child has been outstanding since she was young, so she won’t pretend to be someone else. Moreover, Planet Music Festival has already confirmed Ruge’s identity. How could they be wrong?”

Hearing Madam Tang’s words, the doubts in everyone’s hearts gradually dispersed. Qiao Xi probably did not want to apologize, so she casually made it up. There was no evidence at all.

Tang Ruge’s eyes were red as she choked. “Xi Xi, how can you slander me like this? I’m Fu Sheng. What should I do to make you believe me?”

“There’s no need,” Qiao Xi replied coldly.

Tang Ruge heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She had just calmed down when Qiao Xi raised her eyes again and chuckled. “I won’t believe you no matter what you do because I have evidence.”

These words scared Tang Ruge so much that her body trembled. The live-stream exploded.

[Qiao Xi has evidence? She has evidence that Tang Ruge isn’t Fu Sheng?]

[Is there something wrong with this woman?! Planet Music Festival has already confirmed that Tang Ruge is Fu Sheng. How can it be fake? Moreover, Tang Ruge is the top socialite in the capital. How could she pretend to be Fu Sheng? If she really is Fu Sheng, the real Fu Sheng would have rushed to the scene when she heard the news. Since no one appeared, it means that Tang Ruge is Fu Sheng!]

[There are strange people every year, but there are especially many this year. She has good looks but isn’t smart.]

Xu Da stood up and roared, “This is Planet Music Festival’s award ceremony, not a place for you to fool around. I advise you to leave quickly, or I’ll get the security guards to throw you out.”

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “Mr. Xu, your temper is too explosive. Could it be that you’re feeling guilty and that’s why you’re chasing me away in such a hurry?”

Xu Da looked at Tang Ruge’s aggrieved appearance, then at Qiao Xi’s arrogant appearance. He was instantly infuriated. “Why should I feel guilty? You clearly did something wrong. It’s fine if you’re unwilling to apologize, but you actually dare to ruin Ruge’s award ceremony. I think you’re crazy!”

Qiao Xi paid no attention to his anger. Instead, she took out her phone from her bag and casually fiddled with it a few times. Instantly, the big screen flashed, and two music scores that had been scribbled on appeared. The signature below was Fu Sheng’s.
