Chapter 400
She had indeed contacted her friend and asked them to introduce her to Jade. The other party had
also agreed to help her as much as possible. When the time came, she would even get Jade and
Shi Xuexin to work together. However, she had never expected that Jade would be Shi Jin and Shi
Jin would be Jade.
When Shi Jin heard the news, she must have been secretlyughing at them.
At the thought of herself bing aughing stock, Shi Baozhi''s expression turned ugly as though
she had been sshed with paint.
Hu Lai saw the look on her face and knew it was going to be hard to fix.
Chu Ling could no longer watch on. He stood up and left.
Hu Lai immediately followed Chu Ling. "Chu Ling, Chu Ling!"
Chu Ling had long disappeared.
Hu Lai immediately made an international call. "Is it toote to take back Shi Xuexin''s original piano
composition CDs?"
"Sister Lai, what kind of joke is this? These CDs are already produced. The cost of 200,000 CDs
exceeds 3 million yuan. We haven''t even calcted the production and distribution costs. How can
we take it back?"
On the stage, Shi Xuexin had a nk look on her face. The trantor kindly tranted Shi Jin''s
words into words so that Shi Xuexin could understand.
Shi Xuexin suddenly widened her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Shi Jin nkly
and hatefully.
"You are Jade? Why are you Jade?" Her voice was dry and bitter. It was so unpleasant that it did
not sound human.
Why didn''t anyone tell her this? Wasn''t Jade a boy? Even Sheng Tian had confirmed this! Why
would Sheng Tian lie to her? Why? Was Shi Jin doing this on purpose? She was doing this on
purpose!

406 Forcefully pping Face
Shi Jin ignored her hateful gaze and said to Ramos, "Mr. Ramos, you wanted to ask me how this
piano piece wasposed, right?"
She spoke in Polish and was fluent. There was no need for trantion and everyone present could
understand her.
"That''s right. Previously, I gave Shi Xuexin that score instead of full marks because I felt that her
song sounded a little out of ce. The emotions she expressed were very different from what she
said. Of course, the other judges also noticed this problem. However, since thispetition was
meant to encourage young people topose ssical piano music, they were not too strict."
Ramos briefly exined to everyone why he had given Shi Xuexin a score of 9.9.
It was only then that everyone recalled that Ramos had been frowning ever since Shi Xuexin
finished her performance. He seemed unhappy, but also puzzled. It was also him who had asked
Shi Xuexin several questions.
Ramos continued, "However, after listening to your performance, this sense of dissonance
disappeared, and the emotions were no longer severed. However, Shi Jin, you also know that your
performance is very simr to Shixue''s, so we were unable to give you a score back then. This
requires you to prove that this is your originalposition. However, I believe the situation is
already very clear."
It was very clear.
Shi Xuexin''s face was pale as she stood by the side, pinching her palms. She had nothing to say.
Shi Jin maintained her usual expression, just like when she came in.
She held the microphone and said confidently, "Everyone knows that Beethoven''s original
composition of Ode to Joy was a melodyposed by a German poet with the same name. The
original poem was Schiller, and Beethoven''s melody was magnificent. Although it was called Ode to
Joy, in reality, it was majestic and magnificent. Beethoven himself was Schiller''s loyal admirer. This
Ode to Joy was also one of Beethoven''s favorite poems. The desire for freedom and equality of life
expressed by Schiller in the poem was actually Beethoven''s ideal of peace."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Therefore, my Ode to Music is actually a tribute to Beethoven''s Ode of Joy. However, because I
was still young when Iposed it, I could onlypose a light and cheerful tune. I have yet to
grasp the majestic mood."
This was true. When Shi Jinposed these piano pieces, she was only twelve years old. It was
the darkest period of her life and she was still young. Hence, the overall tune was more cheerful
and simple, but she hid her bitterness in the opposite y of the tune.
Later on, her score ended up at home. She did not pay much attention to it and did not even think
about what to do with it.
Who knew that Shi Xuexin would pick up these manuscripts? After she picked them up, she did not
know what kind of variations Shi Jin had hidden in these songs, and the manuscripts were written
so carelessly.
She had no choice, but to copy them all down and make up for the parts that were not smooth.
Therefore, when Shi Jin yed, whether it was ying along or backwards, it was very natural and
rxed.
As for Shi Xuexin, after two years of repair, filling, and adaptation, she had indeed made up for all
the parts that were not smooth previously. Coupled with Shi Jin''s original overall tone, many people
thought highly of her. However, Ramos was a professional, so he could tell that something was off.
Shi Jin continued, "That''s why this song of minees with a poem. He is a poet that I like very
much. My favorite lines from him are: ''A great person can dilute sorrow, a deep color can cover a
light color''. Back then, when I wrote this song, I had contacted him on Weibo and showed him my
score.
"As for Shi Xuexin, I have never authorized her to use my things, nor have I ever given her
anything. I believe that no one, be it me or everyone present here, can tolerate their efforts being
taken by others."
Ramos nodded. When he heard Shi Jin''s words, he finally understood why the score was not too
different. Shi Jin''s performance was a feeling, while Shi Xuexin''s performance was another feeling.
"Shi Jin, your music is really outstanding. It''s especially rare for you to be able to make different
changes to the same tune and make it as melodious and pleasant to listen to. Piano music is a
spiritual enjoyment for people, and it''s also a spiritual belonging for us. It can surpass words,
transcend nations, and bring everyone a beautiful enjoyment, but this doesn''t mean that someone
can use it to trample on others," Ramos said solemnly.
The people below stage also agreed unanimously. "Yes, exactly."
"Good point."
"Music belongs to everyone, but it''s definitely not stolen."
Shi Xuexin''s body was on the verge of copse. She just stood there, not daring to move and not
knowing what to do.
Xiuli gave her a huge livestream tonight and arranged a huge celebration party for her. After that,
Chu Ling had to announce their rtionship to the public, but it was all ruined. She didn''t know what
to do. The stage was like a giant cage, locking her in.
Compared to Shi Jin who was receiving all kinds ofpliments, she was like a trapped beast.
Shi Jin looked at Shi Xuexin coldly and said in a cold voice, "I have indeed lived with the Shi family
and lived with you. What can this prove? Shi Xuexin, the fact that we were switched at birth indeed
caused trouble in our lives, and it also caused us to take many detours. However, this was not an
excuse or reason for you to steal my things and mock me. I''m telling you seriously, no matter who
you are or what family youe from, I am me, Shi Jin. This has never changed. There''s no need
to prove it with anything.
"As for you, it''s time for you to stop. Stop using these ridiculous tricks to show your superiority in
front of me."
The audience erupted into apuse.
This was because the interpreter was enjoying the trantion too much. She tranted what she
said immediately so that everyone could understand what she was saying.
With every word that Shi Jin said, Shi Xuexin would instinctively retreat, shivering and looking pitiful.
When Jin said thest sentence, Shi Xuexin fell to the ground with her head lowered. Her hair was
disheveled and she did not dare look at anyone.
