Chapter 104: Chapter 104 The Real Phoenix Appears on Phoenix Night

Jian Xi presented musical compositions she had written years ago, along with dated recordings of her demos, making them public.

One of the pieces was almost identical to what Jiang Qimeng had just played but was even more exquisite.

The entire room fell silent. Seld, immersed in shock, stared at Jian Xi with a face full of disbelief.

Jian Xi ignored Jiang Qimeng’s expression, which looked as though she’d eaten shit, and stared at her provocatively. "Miss Jiang, a month ago, you spent five hundred thousand to buy a piece of music from me. Do you still feel it was worth it?" NovelFire

Si Junyan had just vouched emphatically for Jiang Qimeng’s genuine talent and astonishing gift. Now, however, he was struck dumb, unable to utter a complete sentence.

With Xiang Yao thrown out, her remaining sycophants weren’t clever enough to help.

Assistant Xiaozhang quickly racked her brain to defend her mistress. "Miss Jian, there’s no denying your talent, but this piece was also painstakingly composed by our Dream Sister. How do we know you didn’t steal it and plagiarize her work?"

Jian Xi sneered, "Master Seld is here. He should be able to discern good from bad at a glance."

The musical scores were presented.

Seld glanced at them once. "Miss Jian’s melody is a bit more sophisticated," he declared.

The audience gasped.

Jiang Qimeng was so ashamed she wished the ground would swallow her whole.

Xiaozhang, too, was nervously wringing her hands. The evidence had blown up in their faces; what could they possibly say now?

Jian Xi had no intention of letting them off easily. "Jiang Qimeng didn’t use her real name when she came to buy the piece from me, so I might not be able to trace any clues back to her. However, the superiority of the musical scores is self-evident. Assistant Xiaozhang, do you still claim that I plagiarized your Dream Sister’s piece?"

Xiaozhang’s lips twitched. She wanted to say something but was fiercely tugged back by Jiang Qimeng.

Jiang Qimeng looked at Si Junyan for help.

He immediately stepped forward to intervene. "Enough! Jian Xi, don’t push your luck! You can’t prove Dream Sister plagiarized the piece, so don’t stand there twisting the facts to frame her! So what if you can compose a few lousy tunes? What’s there to show off? Don’t be too arrogant, or you won’t even know how you died!"

Of course, I know how I died, Jian Xi thought.

She laughed. "Threatening me? Si Junyan, I am your sister-in-law, after all. Is this how you speak to me, taking her side? You haven’t fallen for her, have you?"

Si Junyan’s face turned red, his gaze inadvertently flicking to Si Yuhuan. He quickly explained, "What nonsense are you spouting? I grew up with Dream Sister; my intentions aren’t as complicated as yours."

"So, the childhood sweetheart developed feelings first, huh?"

Jiang Qimeng clenched her jaw, grinding her back teeth. That hidden truth, like a paper window, had just been pierced by Jian Xi.

She lowered her head deeply.

Si Junyan clenched his fists tightly. "Jian Xi..."

Jian Xi placed a finger on her lips, a mysterious look on her face. "If I were you, I’d shut up and not make a fuss here. Otherwise, it will only make it harder to clarify the nature of your relationship."

Having often witnessed Si Junyan’s bluster, Jian Xi now reveled in seeing him deflated. "Ladies and gentlemen," she announced, "today, at the dinner co-hosted by Fenghuang Entertainment and the Haohan Group, I am willing to offer multiple items for charity auction. I hope to bring warmth to the children in mountainous areas. At the same time, I extend an invitation to everyone: three days from now, the Yaowang Brand will host an exhibition. You are all welcome to attend."

Jian Xi, at the peak of her current acclaim, endorsed the Yaowang Brand. She achieved fame overnight, utterly dazzling and radiant.

Jiang Qimeng, feeling like an ugly duckling, turned and left the stage.

Si Junyan followed her.

The whole farce had merely served as a backdrop, highlighting Jian Xi’s grace, elegance, and dignified composure.

Jian Xi had all the items she intended for the charity auction brought up. Jiang Qimeng, sitting in the audience, saw the haute couture pieces, and her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

These were all the luxury items Si Yuhuan had lavished a fortune on for her at the previous luxury exhibition!

But later, her grandfather had his men retrieve them all and give them to Jian Xi.

This was a blatant, public slap in the face. Jiang Qimeng dug her fingernails so hard into her palm that they nearly drew blood.

Jian Xi! This isn’t over between us!

She looked up at the second floor. Si Yuhuan had been silent the entire time. What could that possibly mean? Was he angry?

Downstairs, the auction was in full swing, and Jian Xi’s fame was rapidly growing.

All proceeds from tonight’s charity auction would be directly transferred to the charitable foundation. The amounts were displayed on the big screen in real-time, ensuring complete transparency and leaving no room for deception.

Yan Qing leaned over to Si Yuhuan and whispered, "As you expected, the planner behind this event is indeed the second young master of the Jian Family, Jian Chuxin."

"Even many of the influential figures who are typically hard to invite attended only out of respect for him. Seld himself was here at Jian Chuxin’s invitation."

Si Yuhuan raised an eyebrow. "It seems Haohan Group has simply paved the way for another’s success."

Yan Qing forced a smile. He hadn’t expected to be outmaneuvered by Jian Xi. The boss must be fuming inside now.

"Well done. You’re starting to carry yourself like a proper Mrs. Si."

Uh? Yan Qing thought he must have misheard.

Jian Xi was just heading upstairs, intending to provoke Si Yuhuan further, when she unexpectedly overheard him praising her. She froze on the spot.

Si Yuhuan turned around, their eyes meeting. "Miss Jian, are you done showing off your power and ready to come gloat to me now?"

That had been her intention. Having her little scheme seen through, Jian Xi lifted her chin confidently. "I don’t provoke others unless provoked. I can’t just suffer in silence after being bullied, can I?"

Without any reservations, she sat across from Si Yuhuan and brushed off her skirt. "You said it yourself; I am Mrs. Si, after all. I can’t afford to lose face, can I?"

Si Yuhuan sneered coldly. He’d seen plenty of shameless people, but her level of shamelessness was truly a rare sight. "How many more facets of yours are there that I don’t know about?" he mused aloud, a hint of intrigue in his voice. Business acumen, musical composition... so radiant and captivating. She genuinely piqued his interest.

"Plenty. If Director Si is interested, send those eyesores away, and we can get to know each other slowly."

Jiang Qimeng was downstairs and heard their conversation crystal clear. She almost spat blood in anger.

Si Yuhuan said icily, "Shameless." To flirt with him so openly in public—she truly had some nerve.

Jian Xi’s lips suddenly curved into a knowing smile. "But doesn’t Director Si have a penchant for the ’bad’ ones?"

Si Yuhuan was speechless. She really was becoming more and more shameless.

Jian Xi was thrilled; everything had gone exceptionally smoothly without Si Yuhuan’s intervention.

Jian Chuxin called. "Congratulations! You’ve made a name for yourself in one fell swoop. I expect after tonight, Yaowang’s popularity will soar with your fame. Second Brother always said you’re a born business magnate. You’re at a severe disadvantage with that scumbag Si Yuhuan. Divorce him soon, come to W Country to develop your career, and I guarantee you can become a top-tier international superstar." NovelFire

"Don’t tease me, Second Brother. Without your and Manager Zhang’s support, tonight’s Phoenix Night could have been the final straw for me. Si Junyan will soon realize my connection with Fenghuang Entertainment. I sense trouble for you; I’m afraid he’ll try to terminate the contract."

"I’m not worried," Jian Chuxin said nonchalantly. "When I was a top star dominating the entertainment industry, he was just an insignificant brat. Without Si Yuhuan’s support, he’s nothing in my eyes. If Haohan Group pulls out, other groups will be scrambling to partner with Fenghuang Entertainment. Who cares about them!"

Speaking of the devil, Si Junyan saw Jian Xi alone and immediately came over to cause trouble. "Jian Xi, are you looking to die tonight?"

Jian Xi hung up the phone. "Second Brother, I have to go. I need to deal with this short-sighted fool."
