Chapter 190: The rumor put the Gu family right in the middle of the spotlight. (2)
Huh?
What just happened?
Was that it? They had yet to recover from being stunned. How was it already over?
No way The audiences expressed that they had yet to have enough of it.
It was until the curtain had dropped, the light on the stage had resumed slowly, and that the piano and Gu Xi could no longer been seen on the stage when everyone finally accepted the fact that the show had concluded.
I hadnt recorded the show yet!
I hadnt had enough yet!
***
The audiences there had yet to have enough but, at this very moment, the entire venue broke up into passionate applause and cheers.
Goddess Xi is Goddess Xi after all. Even her performance is a notch better than others.
I dont even want to leave. Just let me spend the night here.
For realz. This had rocked my world.
Gu Xi had stunned me.
The audiences were still talking about it.
Gu Shao, in the front row, heard the discussions from the other students and parents and a look of pride flashed past his eyes.
The next second, however, a pondering look appeared on him.
Naturally, he was the one who provided the equipment for the performance. But who did the programming for the light effects for her?
Did you do that effect? Gu Shao looked over at Gu Yanlin and asked.
Upon hearing that, Gu Yanlin shook his head. No, it wasnt me.
He could do it, but that was not his core focus.
Something occurring to him and he said, Perhaps it was done by one of Xixis classmates.
Who?
Su Xiuying, Grandpa Shens grandson. He is into coding and seems to be quite good at it, said Gu Yanlin casually.
While it may not be Gu Yanlins intention, but the name Su Xiuying made Gu Shao frowned slightly.
HSAUs Art Festival concluded nicely with Gu Xis amazing performance.
Perhaps because of how unique and stunning Gu Xis performance was, her show was still much discussed in the school forum days after the Art Festival had concluded.
[Truth be told, I can still see that show in my head even now.]
[Me too.]
[Yeah, if I must say, watching it on the video just does not measure up to watching it live.]
[Im so glad I went that day. Haha.]
[Where can I see performances like that? Ill pay money for it!]
[Me too!]
Other than discussions on the performance, there were also a lot of rainbow farts about Gu Xi in the forum.
There were, of course, not shortages of skeptics who felt that Gu Xi was nothing more than a hack.
[Lets be honest here. Without all those effects, Gu Xis piano skill was just alright.] Gu XueEr posted that from her secondary account.
Regardless, she was rebutted by a bunch of people shortly.
[Bitter much? Goddess Xi said it was a show from the get-go and not just pure piano performance. Of course you have to look at the whole thing.]
[Who is to say that you can give the exact performance if you are given the same equipment?]
[Exactly. So what if she had outside help? Dont you know? That, too, is part of ones ability!]
After the Art Festival, many at school learned that Gu Shao was Gu Xis father. As such, nobody could be too bitter about Gu Xis buff.
Looking at everyones rebuttal, Gu XueEr almost toss her cellphone away out of anger.

Amidst all the Art Festival discussions, a rumor also began slowly.
It started with someone posting: [Per a reliable source, Gu Xi is not really part of the Gu family.]
Nobody paid it much attention at the beginning but, as the number of posts increased, more and more people picked up on it.
And the rumors became more and more ridiculous.
Some said Gu Xi was born out of the wedlock. Some said that she was conceived artificially. Some said that she was not really related with the Gu family but was adopted. Some even took it a step further and said that Gu Xis identity was very complicated and was only accepted on paper as Gu Shaos daughter to prevent scandals
All in all, there were all kinds of theories.
Even old photos of her watching Gu Chenyi playing basketball were used to smear her.
