Chapter 166: 161 Explosive Ignition! [3 Updates]
The fans sitting in the auditorium once again let out boos.
Even with Zhuo Lanhan’s composure, she was thoroughly unwilling to stay any longer.
She rose from her seat with a cold expression, not caring whether the concert had ended or not, intending to leave.
As a heavyweight pianist like Zhuo Lanhan, she was followed by a dedicated camera.
Once she made this move, the online live broadcast immediately switched to her.
[Won’t she get off the stage? Doesn’t she see she’s even driven away Grandma Zhuo? Back in my grandmother’s era, Grandma Zhuo was already a top-level pianist in Hua Country.]
[Luwei is so pitiful, she finally managed to invite Grandma Zhuo and the others, and now she’s angered away by a country bumpkin who knows nothing about the piano.]
[I’m so mad I’m so mad I’m so mad.]
But before she could completely leave her seat, her steps suddenly halted as she turned her gaze to the stage.
A faint golden light emanated from behind the deep red curtains, as four waiters in tailcoats carried a piano onto the stage.
Che Yu had been half asleep and half awake, occasionally glancing over, but at this moment, he fully woke up, almost jumping up.
“Oh, my God,” Bart exclaimed wide-eyed, “Berg, pinch me, quick pinch me.”
It was a Rococo style grand piano.
It was entirely golden in color but not vulgar, exuding instead a sense of nobility and elegance, understated luxury.
The piano was adorned with exquisite carvings and paintings, and its body was covered in gold leaf.
Every inch had been meticulously sculpted, with smooth lines.
In comparison to this golden piano, Ying Luwei’s piano instantly looked like an ugly piece of wood.
Even if few could recognize this piano, even laymen could not fail to see its priceless value.
“This is a Louis XV!” Bart exclaimed as if he had gone mad, “I’ve only seen it once in a museum!”
Louis XV was the name of a piano, a top luxury brand that Bechstein had once custom-made for the O continent royalty.
The making of this piano involved 140 professionals from various domains, such as master piano makers, painters, sculptors, etc., and took three years to complete.
Just the gold leaf used weighed more than three kilograms.
To this day, it remains the world’s most expensive piano.
Its price is 20 million US dollars.
The entire auditorium fell deathly silent, leaving Ying Luwei’s fans unable to utter a sound.
But the person most shocked was Ying Luwei herself.
She simply couldn’t believe it.
Of course, Ying Luwei recognized the Louis XV, having seen it when she visited the O continent.
But how could such an antique level piano possibly be lent out so easily?!
“Excuse me, please make way,” a waiter politely said to her, “This piano is very expensive, and you can’t afford it if you damage it.”
The voice wasn’t loud, but in the silent auditorium, it was enough for the people in the first few rows to hear.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Ying Luwei’s face turned so red it almost exploded.
She was filled with shame and indignation, stepping aside and unable to lift her head, her fingers trembling.
[Oh, are the idiots going to get a face slap? My sister simply despises your 3 million dollar piano, she has her own. Do you know how much this piano costs? Oh, of course you don’t.]
[Let me mercifully tell you then, this is the world’s number one piano, the Louis XV, priced at 20 million US dollars!]
[And your 3 million dollar piano, converted to US dollars, is just over 400 thousand. What are you strutting about for?]
These three barrage comments were all posted by Nie Chao.
He had eight computers in front of him.
Each computer’s screen showed Ying Luwei’s online concert live stream, so he had bought eight tickets.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not only Ying Luwei’s fans were watching the online live stream, but also some real piano enthusiasts attracted by the name Vera Hall.
The fans had shut up by now, and these people were delighted.
[Alright, alright, I was listening to loneliness earlier. I was getting ready to complain and ask for a refund. But having seen the Louis XV, the ticket money was worth it.]
[By the way, did you feel that the performer earlier seemed full of an air of arrogance? I could smell the overwhelming tea fragrance on her even through the screen, it nearly ruined me.]
[It’s intentional, right? It seems like these two performers are aunt and niece, so this? I don’t get it.]
[Haha, what does it matter if it’s a 20 million dollar piano? Someone who can’t play will still ruin such a precious piano, thinking she’s Vera Hall? I think she should do the decent thing and give the piano to Luwei.]
Nie Chao became angry, furiously typing away.
[Where did this internet beggar crawl out from? Scram!]
