Zhao Xiyue had used her role as host to make this happen and Shi Jin would undoubtedly get embarrassed tonight.
Zhao Xiyue wanted to show the world the gulf that lay between the true and fake daughter of the Shi family. She also wanted Shi Jin to back off. She was not good enough for Chu Ling.
Shi Jin stood up and walked towards the stage as everyone watched and cheered.
Shi Jin was too simply dressed compared to Shi Xuexin. She was just dressed in the school uniform pants with a white cotton T-shirt. It could not compare to Shi Xuexin's extravagant princess dress.
Shi Xuexin was still standing on the stage. The moment they stood together, Shi Xuexin looked like a beautiful peony while Shi Jin resembled an elegant orchid.
After looking at Shi Jin a little more, she gave off a charming aura.
Zhao Xiyue smiled as she said, "Shi Jin, I heard you are pretty good at playing the violin as well, right?"
She gloated smugly after putting Shi Jin in the spot. Shi Xuexin caught on to what Zhao Xiyue was doing, so she did not stop Zhao Xiyue. Instead, she simply stood on the stage as she watched.
All of them knew that Shi Jin was unable to play the violin.
If Shi Jin denied it now, it would be very embarrassing for her.
Sure enough, Shi Jin took the microphone and said, "Nope. You are mistaken."
Zhao Xiyue smiled even more happily when Shi Jin admitted she could not play the violin. "Oh my. I must be mistaken. I am so sorry about that. Since you are siblings with Shi Xuexin, I thought you took violin lessons with her."
Zhao Xiyue had a feeling Shi Jin might offer to sing in order to save her reputation. Even then, Zhao Xiyue would have successfully embarrassed Shi Jin.
Whatever it was, a lot of people were talking about Shi Jin now.
Although Zhao Xiyue could not hear what they were saying, they were probably talking about Shi Jin and Shi Xuexin's swap at birth and their abilities.
It was a common human reaction. Everyone felt musicians were very impressive. After all, it took a lot of practice to be an expert. However, people always felt they were equally good singers and simply lacked an opportunity when it came to singing.
Moreover, everyone felt violin performances were very elegant. In comparison, everyone could sing, so it wasn't as special. Hence, it was normal to feel Shi Jin could not compare to Shi Xuexin.
"I have never learned violin before." Shi Jin glanced at Zhao Xiyue. "Also, the third graders don't have to perform, so I did not prepare anything. You must have made a mistake, right?"
Since it was the school anniversary celebrations, Zhao Xiyue felt certain that Shi Jin would offer to sing and wriggle out of the situation.
Now that Shi Jin was coming on so strong and Zhao Xiyue was genuinely guilty of sabotaging her, Zhao Xiyue could only apologize for her mistake. "My bad. I must have made a mistake. I thought you were still doing second year and assumed you were performing. I am so sorry."
Her apology was so insincere that it was barely enough to cover Shi Jin's nail. She even embarrassed Shi Jin by talking about Shi Jin's promotion to third year.
"Uh huh. I accept your apology. Since it is an important day, you really need to be careful. Not everyone is nice enough to allow this to happen. Not everyone in school will let you off for this," replied Shi Jin confidently.
