Chapter 173 Song
Xia Qingluo waved her hand quickly, "I still have some at home. I haven't worn out the few pairs I ordered before."
Shangguan You's eyebrows twitched wildly. "My goodness, your dress was custom-made at least two years ago. You must be in better shape now. And there are new styles now. You should wear the latest one. You are still a big star. How can you wear an old style to a banquet?"
Xia Qingluo curled her lips and said, "Fashion is a circle. Styles from two years ago are not necessarily old."
The two of them continued arguing with each other until they arrived at the entrance of RM shopping mall.
RM Shopping Mall is the most luxurious shopping landmark in Country Y, standing proudly in the commercial core area of Country Y. The brands sold there are all world-renowned top luxury brands.
The arched door with retro carvings, the Italian marble paving the floor, and many artworks with classical retro elements make it almost like an art gallery, which is totally incomparable to modern shopping malls.
In the center of the shopping mall lobby, there is a pure white grand piano.
The piano is as smooth in color as jade, and its edges and corners are inlaid with exquisite gold edges. These gold edges are not ordinary decorations, but are made of pure gold with exquisite craftsmanship and delicate lines.
There are exquisite patterns carved on the top of the piano, which are lifelike, like a vivid painting.
Even a layman can see that the piano is of extraordinary value.
Shangguan You and Xia Qingluo got on the escalator and pushed their sunglasses down while looking at the piano.
There is a very small white dove carving on the piano cover. It is exquisitely crafted and lifelike. It is difficult to see clearly unless you look carefully.
Shangguan You's eyes flashed instantly, and he patted Xia Qingluo beside him, "Lolo, this piano looks exactly like the one in your house!"
When she was a child, she often went to Xia Qingluo's house to play with her, and occasionally stayed at Xia Qingluo's house because she was homeless.
She knew that Xia Qingluo had many musical instruments at home, including piano, violin, guitar, and drum set, covering a wide range.
Xia Qingluo was very talented in music when she was a child. She never found a teacher for these instruments. She would just tinker with them on her own as long as she was interested.
What impressed her most was the piano in Xia Qingluo's home. It was said that it was custom-made by a famous master from Country Y when Xia Qingluo was five years old. There are probably only a few of these in the world.
Xia Qingluo was also a little curious. As the escalator went up, he lowered his eyes to look at the grand piano.
A girl about seven or eight years old walked up to the piano and sat on the chair.
The little girl has a pigtail, flat bangs, and wears a white dress with a doll collar. She looks very well-behaved and cute.
Passersby also looked over and gave the little girl encouraging applause.
The piano placed in the middle of the mall is usually there for people to play at will, but occasionally someone with great skills will improvise a tune.
The little girl put her fingers on the piano and began to play.
When Xia Qingluo heard the beginning of the song, he stopped suddenly and his eyes turned cold instantly.
Isn’t this... a crappy song composed by Xia Wan’er?
The reason why Xia Qingluo was so impressed was that all the songs Xia Wan'er had composed before started with the same tune.
She walked to the fence, looked down from the second floor, and listened to the melodious and slow music, which made her feel a chill down her spine.
How could I hear Xia Wan'er's music in Country Y? Xia Wan'er's music was not catchy, nor was it popular.
Xia Qingluo turned around and looked around vigilantly.
She was keenly aware that there was a pair of eyes following her like a shadow, as if they were staring at her in secret, making her every slight movement seem to be monitored.
This feeling of being on edge was extremely uncomfortable, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching her every move in the dark, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Is it Cohen? Or someone from the Shadow Society?
Xia Qingluo suddenly recalled what Xia Wan'er had said to her in the restaurant before.
Xia Wan'er said: She now earns all her money by writing lyrics and composing music.
After listening to Xia Wan'er's music, Xia Qingluo immediately understood Xia Wan'er's level. Xia Wan'er was able to make money purely because there was someone behind the scenes pushing her forward.
And now, suddenly in a foreign country, the familiar music sounding out is like a strange signal.
Is someone deliberately reminding her of this incident?
Was he trying to lure her in? To lure her from the acting world into the world of composing music for the entertainment industry?
"Lolo, Lolo!" Suddenly, a hand waved in front of Xia Qingluo.
Then Shangguan You appeared in front of her wearing big sunglasses, "Are you crazy from listening to the music?"
Xia Qingluo came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a curved lip: "No, I just think the song is a little familiar."
Shangguan You shrugged, "I haven't heard it, but I also feel that this song is not very good."
“Maybe you heard it from watching some stupid short videos.” Shangguan You joked.
As he was speaking, the little girl finished playing the song and stood up to leave.
Then, a middle-aged woman walked up to the piano.
She has an excellent temperament, and every movement reveals a calm confidence. Her gestures reveal a sense of decency and elegance that has been accumulated over the years.
Her face is well maintained, her skin is firm and shiny. Although there are fine lines at the corners of her eyes, they only add a bit of mature charm to her.
If you don't look closely, you could easily mistake her for a forty-year-old lady.
But in fact, she is already sixty-five years old, and time seems to be particularly kind to her, leaving only traces of elegance on her body.
As soon as she appeared, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
In an instant, all the people in the mall hall walked towards the piano and formed a circle around it, and the circle continued to expand.
Many people took out their cell phone cameras to take pictures, very excited.
"It's Sonya!"
"Wow! She actually showed up at RM Mall!"
"I am so lucky that I can go out for a walk and hear Maestro Sonya's performance."
"It's worth it! I can't even get a ticket from a scalper for 3,000 yuan at the concert, but I can listen to it for free at RM Mall!"
Sonya glanced at the people around her, curled her lips slightly into a smile, and then placed her slender fingers on the piano.
Shangguan You had no musical background and knew nothing about those artists, but he was particularly familiar with Sonya.
She suddenly looked at Xia Qingluo and excitedly pulled Xia Qingluo's sleeve, "Eh? Isn't that the aunt who kept pestering you when you were in high school and said she wanted to take you in as her apprentice?"
