[Hahaha, let me spill some tea for everyone. Xu Xingguang’s piano teacher and I share the same one, named Li Piao X. She’s just a graduate from the piano department of Yujiang Music College. In the piano world, she’s really just an unknown little figure. I find it hard to believe that Xu Xingguang studied piano with her for five years and achieved her current level of skill.]

The discussions were getting more and more in-depth, and gradually, people started questioning Xu Xingguang’s capabilities. Some even suspected that the album "Fearless" was created by Xu Xingguang using disgraceful methods.

Such disgraceful methods refer to plagiarizing and stealing others’ works or buying someone else’s works and putting one’s own name on them.

The online criticism and questioning grew louder, even causing Huo Lan to have some doubts.

Huo Lan personally traveled to Cangshan Town to visit Xu Xingguang’s home, only to find it empty. Sister Lin told Huo Lan, "Miss Xu has gone to the back hill to farm, you should go to the back hill to find her."

Farming?

Huo Lan ran to the back hill with a perplexed expression and indeed found the main character being questioned by the entire nation in a barren mountainous area.

Xu Xingguang was wearing long-sleeved work clothes, a straw hat, and was seriously loosening soil in the mountain area with an electric tiller in her hand. A little pig with black spots was running happily behind her.

Huo Lan stared blankly at this scene, at a loss for words.

Does Captain Huo actually like this type of girl?

"Miss Xu," Huo Lan squatted on the ridge of the herb field and said gravely, "Have you been online? Do you know that everyone on the internet is questioning whether you’re the original pianist for the ’Fearless’ album."

Xu Xingguang finally turned off the tiller and walked to a shady spot to sit down.

Huo Wuyi scurried to her side and lay down directly on the ground. Xu Xingguang stroked Huo Wuyi’s belly and looked up at Huo Lan, asking, "Is the heat intense?"

"The discussion heat has broken through two hundred million. If you don’t clarify, you’ll be smeared beyond recovery," Huo Lan said, observing Xu Xingguang’s calm reaction, then asked, "Are you planning to remain silent without fighting back?"

Xu Xingguang evaded the question, "What day is today?"

Perplexed, Huo Lan answered, "The thirtieth day of the fifth lunar month."

Nodding, Xu Xingguang said, "Very well, tomorrow is the first day of June."

"What’s so special about June 1st?" Huo Lan wondered, only to suddenly recall that tomorrow would be You Mingyue and Chu Zimu’s wedding.

But Huo Lan couldn’t fathom the connection between You Mingyue’s wedding and Xu Xingguang’s need to clarify the rumors.

Xu Xingguang took a sip from her water cup and told Huo Lan, "Every piano piece in ’Fearless’ is my original work, rest assured of this. As for the alleged plagiarism and buying of others’ works to claim as my own, that’s purely fabricated nonsense."

"Let’s not make any noise now. The bigger their uproar, the broader the impact, which will be more beneficial to what I plan to do next."

Huo Lan was very curious about what Xu Xingguang intended to do, and he couldn’t help but ask excitedly, "Can you give me a hint about your plan beforehand?"

"No," Xu Xingguang stood up, clapped her hands, and continued tilling.

Huo Lan returned without obtaining anything, but with Xu Xingguang’s assurance, he felt as if he’d taken a calming pill, making him feel more at ease.

On the first day of June, Chu Family’s young master, Chu Zimu, grandly married the talented pianist beauty You Mingyue. On this day, Yujiang City was shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

A luxurious wedding convoy drove around the broad roads of Yujiang City before stopping in front of Chu Family Manor.

You Mingyue, wearing a dark golden lace embroidered luxurious wedding dress, entered the wedding venue with Chu Zimu, and under the blessing of all the guests, held the wedding ceremony.

The couple looked perfectly compatible together.

After the wedding ceremony ended, You Mingyue posted a picture of her and Chu Zimu holding hands tightly and the marriage contract they signed together on Weibo.

Users flocked in to congratulate them.

Soon, the hashtags #YouMingyueMagnificentWedding# and #XuXingguangAlbum’Fearless’Infringement# were ranked first and second in the current hot search in Yujiang City.

They also dominated the first and second spots in Weibo’s entertainment section.

No one believed that ’Fearless’ was Xu Xingguang’s original work, they all suspected that she had purchased someone else’s work and put her own name on it, which involved infringing the real original author’s name rights.

When You Mingyue saw the hot search about Xu Xingguang infringing on others’ copyrights, she suddenly felt relieved.
