My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 1346 - 1347: Athena and the Saint Fighter at the Concert Hall

Chapter 1346: Chapter 1347: Athena and the Saint Fighter at the Concert Hall

Xiao Chen naturally had no idea that Chang Ziru already hated him.

Moreover, he wasn’t interested in finding out.

To him, Chang Ziru was nothing more than an ant, the kind of person he could crush with a flick of his hand, utterly unworthy of his attention.

After checking their tickets, Xiao Chen entered the music hall with Jiang Meng and Flora.

Xiao Chen didn’t bother looking for Li Bing.

It was just a concert; there was no need to disturb that kid.

Almost no one in this world knew that the three top music maestros had once joined forces to compete musically against a single man—and lost.

Later, they even called that man their teacher.

And that man was Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen didn’t particularly enjoy being anyone’s teacher, but those three were too persistent and wouldn’t stop pestering him for guidance.

So he simply shared some of his insights with them.

And those insights allowed them to reach an entirely new peak.

Li Bing was a promising young talent Xiao Chen had stumbled upon abroad, a kid who had pursued his music dream all the way to Italy alone and was incredibly gifted.

Xiao Chen introduced him to Mirodi.

Mirodi excelled at both piano and violin, and Li Bing studied the piano.

If Li Bing found out Xiao Chen had come to watch the concert, who knew what kind of commotion he’d cause.

Seated, they waited as the concert had yet to begin.

Jiang Meng was already brimming with excitement.

"Hubby, did you know? Back in school, I dreamt my husband would be a master artist, someone skilled in music and painting!

Am I being overly naïve?"

Jiang Meng never hesitated when talking to Xiao Chen.

Because she knew the kind of person Xiao Chen was.

"Not naïve at all—because that’s exactly what your husband is!"

Xiao Chen replied, thoroughly unapologetic.

"If that’s the case, why not have Xiao Chen give a live performance? I heard there’s an audience interaction segment during this concert,"

Flora suggested.

She swore she would make Jiang Meng see Xiao Chen’s true colors. She was convinced Xiao Chen had hidden motives for approaching Jiang Meng.

As her friend and as an envoy for the Salvation Society, Flora felt it was her duty to help Jiang Meng.

Because their Salvation Society truly wanted Jiang Meng to join their cause.

"Let’s drop it,"

Jiang Meng said while waving her hand dismissively. Her eagerness was evident, but she didn’t want to trouble Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen caught on to her feelings. While he preferred not to stand out, playing the piano briefly shouldn’t be an issue, right?

He decided. During the interaction segment, he would play a piece just for Jiang Meng, fulfilling her wish.

After all, this was the woman he loved.

The concert began.

Li Bing’s piano performance captivated the audience entirely.

Everyone sat in complete silence, entranced by the flowing melodies.

When the piece concluded, applause exploded from the crowd.

Soon, Li Bing’s performance was over. An hour had already passed, yet no one wanted to leave.

Music truly has the power to conquer hearts.

"Next up is our interaction session. Is anyone in the audience brave enough to come up and perform a piece?"

The host addressed the audience from the stage.

Xiao Chen stood up.

Jiang Meng and Flora thought he was going to perform, but to their disappointment, he only mentioned going to the restroom.

Both of them felt rather crestfallen.

On his way out, Xiao Chen noticed that Chang Ziru, dressed in a full tuxedo, had taken the stage.

"Today, I dedicate this piece to a beautiful lady.

Though we’ve only met once, it was love at first sight. I know she was forced into marriage by her family to a good-for-nothing man.

I hope this piece, ’Freedom,’ will let her feel the preciousness of freedom!"

Chang Ziru spoke deliberately and with poise. While his words were a bit clumsy, they still won over the crowd’s favor.

The audience clapped and cheered.

Flora, watching Chang Ziru from the stage, remarked, "Looking at him now, this man doesn’t seem too bad."

Jiang Meng, however, frowned. She had seen plenty of men spouting pretty words.

Besides, how was she not free?

Her husband was the best husband in the world!

At this moment, Xiao Chen was already backstage.

Li Bing saw Xiao Chen and immediately fell to his knees. "Benefactor!"

"Alright, cut it out with that habit of kneeling whenever you see me. Stand up and prepare a tuxedo for me. Oh, and a lady’s evening gown as well, sized according to her."

Xiao Chen gestured in Jiang Meng’s direction as he spoke.

"I’ll take care of it at once!"

Li Bing instructed the staff without hesitation.

Mirodi was a world-class maestro, and now Li Bing was one of the top-ranked piano virtuosos worldwide. Whatever he said was treated as gospel by the staff.

Just then, the music began to play.

Two beams of light simultaneously landed on Chang Ziru on stage and Jiang Meng in the audience.

"Wow, what a lucky woman!"

"I’m so envious! If a man ever performed something like this for me, I’d be utterly smitten!"

Countless women looked at Jiang Meng with admiration.

But Jiang Meng herself felt deeply uncomfortable.

What on earth was this Chang Ziru trying to pull? They had only met once, yet he was behaving like this. What would happen if Xiao Chen found out?

Xiao Chen may not care much about other things, but when it came to matters like this, he was just like every other man—extremely particular.

The piano piece "Freedom" was filled with a rousing and powerful intensity.

It was as though listeners could see a woman fighting desperately for her happiness,

struggling to break free from her chains.

Many women in the audience were moved to tears.

It had to be said—Chang Ziru’s piano skills were impressively good. If entered in a provincial competition back in Dragon Country, he’d probably take the championship.

After the piece ended, Chang Ziru, holding a bouquet of flowers, approached Jiang Meng.

Speaking passionately into a small mic clipped near his lips, he said, "Ah, beautiful woman, pitiable woman! The lover of my dreams.

Though we’ve only met once, it surpasses a thousand lingering glimpses.

I have fallen deeply in love with you.

You are the noble Athena, the graceful princess.

And I, I am willing to be your knight, your Saint Fighter!

To save you from the filthy quagmire, to save your soul and your body!"

"Accept his salvation, woman!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

The room erupted in energy.

"For your own happiness, accept him!"

"Marry him!"

"He’ll bring you happiness!"

Nowadays, there were always people who loved stirring up drama without understanding the full story.

It didn’t matter if they were rich or poor—it was all the same.

Jiang Meng was now extremely embarrassed. She wanted to clarify, but she had no microphone, and her voice couldn’t carry over the chaos in the music hall.

Chang Ziru sneered inwardly.

He knew Jiang Meng wouldn’t agree, but so what?

These days, nothing spreads faster than a salacious rumor!

Especially rumors about Jiang Meng, the chairwoman of Xinmeng Group.

In Dragon Country, Jiang Meng was practically angelic in her reputation.

At the mere mention of her name, the public would all give a thumbs-up.

But this incident was bound to tarnish her reputation. Even if her marriage had been forced,

a husband was still a husband. If she hadn’t divorced him, being linked to another man would have serious repercussions.

And for Chang Ziru, he could use the scandal to boost his own publicity and make his move against Xinmeng Group.
