Chapter 46: Public Apology
Ji Ning was stunned. She subconsciously looked up at her brothers and sisters.
"Xiao Ning, if you don’t want to go on stage, don’t force yourself," Ji Qian felt a little awkward. However, she continued, "It’s your freedom to learn whatever you want to learn. It doesn’t matter how well you play the violin. Who cares about what they would say?"
Although Ji Zhou and Ji Yang did not speak, the way they looked at her was absolutely not filled with disdain or disgust. Instead, they looked at her gently. She had heard mostly insults and dismissals throughout her life. She had also habitually dismissed herself and was used to constantly retreating.
However, this time, she suddenly did not want to retreat.
Her brothers and sister’s figures had morphed into her strength. Shen Hanxing was by her side, holding her hand. It was as if an endless amount of energy had surged into her body, allowing her to stand up straight in front of everyone.
The night was dark, and the sky outside the banquet hall was pitch black. However, at this moment, dawn had come for Ji Ning. Her bent back straightened gradually. Although her body was trembling from nervousness, her eyes were very, very bright. She nodded lightly at Shen Hanxing.
Shen Hanxing smiled and she raised her hand to pat the top of Ji Ning’s head. Her gaze turned to Sun Qinglian. She said, "If Xiao Ning plays a full piece of music, you and your friends will apologize to her in public. How about it, Miss Sun?"
Sun Qinglian and the socialites beside her looked at each other.
