Chapter 169: I Can’t Perform Under Pressure…

Li Xueqing was shocked. “Dad!”

Fang Zhili looked awful too as she asked, “Hubby, what is Nian Nian doing?”

“Nian Nian!” Li Haoran yelled. “Play it properly!”

Li Beinian put her hands down, turned around innocently, and shrugged. “I don’t know how to play the back parts. I only know the parts I just played.”

“Who are you kidding!” Li Xueqing shouted. “You’ve already played the hardest part. There’s only a small bit left to the end of the song, I don’t believe you don’t know it!”

It wasn’t just Li Xueqing. Everyone else didn’t believe it too.

As she said, she’d already performed the hardest part. The remaining bars were definitely a piece of cake for her. How could she say she did not know it?

Was she… doing this deliberately!

It was getting exciting. This family before them didn’t seem to be getting along too well!

Li Beinian shrugged again. “But I just don’t know it, what am I to do?”

Li Xueqing stomped her foot and turned to Fang Zhili. “Mom!”

Fang Zhili patted her shoulder before looking toward Li Beinian. “Nian Nian, don’t be wilful. Finish this piece nicely.”

“Stepmom, you…”

“Li Beinian!” Li Beinian growled. “Is this how you speak to your mom!”

Li Beinian looked innocent. “What did I do? She’s my stepmom, I didn’t address her wrongly.”

At that point, Li Haoran had nothing to rebut her with.

It did make sense, but he couldn’t help but flare-up!

Fang Zhili felt awkward after being addressed as “Stepmom”. She could barely deal with the stares from the rest.

Mu Donglin actually smiled as he watched all of it unfold.

Butler Mu Yun had to remind him. “Eldest Young Master, shouldn’t you go forward and stop them? It’s not nice that so many people are watching it turn out this way.”

“Why do I have to stop them?” Mu Donglin was more than happy to watch the show. “It’s pretty interesting, no?”

The butler looked around at the others’ expressions.

Everyone was watching on.

Indeed, it was rather exciting.

But this wouldn’t be good for the Li Family’s reputation.

Li Beinian’s reputation wasn’t good, to begin with. From today on… it’d probably be worse.

“You can’t even finish a piece. You’ve lost, get your sister to hand me her dress!” Tong Yujia was proud of herself. “Don’t be a sore loser!”

Li Xueqing was almost in tears as she yelled. “This doesn’t count. Since Nian Nian doesn’t know this song, we’ll pick another one!”

Li Beinian nodded. “I’ll just finish playing this one then.”

Everyone roared with laughter.

Li Xueqing could feel her cheeks burn. She shouted, “Li Beinian, what good does it do for you to lose this!”

“There’s nothing good for me.” Li Beinian appeared a little sad. “I find it a pity too. You look so good in this dress, but since you’ve put the pressure on me, and I can’t perform under pressure…” She looked a little apologetic. “I’m sorry, I’ve to trouble you to hand the dress over to Tong Jiayu.”

Tong Yujia clenched her teeth. “I’m Tong Yujia!”

“Oh, oh.” Li Beinian casually said, “In that case, Tong Yujia, you’ve got to give Li Xueqing a set of clothes to change into!”

Tong Yujia sneered. “Of course, I’ve got it all ready. I especially got someone to buy new lingerie for her!”
