The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 949

"What's wrong?"

Rainie could not help but ask when she saw Mango's worried expression.

"It's okay, let's go eat something first."

Mango suppressed this matter.

She would think about the money later. She didn't know how much money Emberly had in her bank account, but first, she would go and see whether the music composer had chosen Rainie.

Seeing that Mango was silent, Rainie did not ask any further.

Mango and Rainie went downstairs to eat in the restaurant. Then, they went to the house of the music composer according to the address given by Emberly.

They knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Mango thought that he was not at home, so she made a call to him. However, a phone ringtone came from the house, but it was hung up rudely Rainie and Mango looked at each other. Obviously, they felt that the music composer did it on purpose.

Mango did not want to give up. However, she did not expect that Rainie would hold her hand and shook her head, "Hmm... forget about it, this is my fate."

"No matter what, we need to try since we're here."

Mango did not want to give up.

This was Rainie's chance. Besides, she needed money urgently.

However, Rainie shook her head and said, "The music composer will get annoyed with us if we constantly pester him. Why don't we discuss it next time?"

"Then, what are you going to do now?"

Mango felt that it was such a pity that Rainie had lost this opportunity.

Rainie shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Haha! It doesn't matter. Why don't I become a bar singer? Or I can sing on the bridge too? I will surely have some chances one day." Mango really admired Rainie's optimism.

"Well, if you want to sing at those places, I'll play for you."

"Oh, that's right! I've nearly forgotten. You can play the violin very well. I think you're a student of Dillon Azbel?"

Mango thought of Gisella upon hearing her

words.

Gisella would probably think that Mango had played tricks to prevent her from becoming Dillion's student if she knew that Mango was his student. However, it was really strange.

Since Dillon allowed Mr. Shen to bring Gisella, it meant that he would actually consider taking her as his student. But why did he back out after that?

Dillon was a decent person, and he did not seem to be someone who had no principles.

Mango did not understand, but she knew that she could not ask him about it right now. This was because she knew Dillon had to prepare for an orchestra that was around the corner. Mango suppressed her words and smiled, "I believe everyone will notice you if I were to accompany you. I am a great violinist after all!"

"Of course! Haha... Let's go, Miss Violinist!"

Rainie walked out happily while holding onto Mango's arm.

When Mango left, she was looking at the house of the music composer unhappily. There was a glint of persistence in her eyes.

She would definitely find a chance to come again.

Mango wanted to buy a violin after leaving the

house with Rainie.

She knew that a violin was not cheap, but for the sake of Rainie, she felt the money spent was worth it.

The two of them went to the music store to look at some violins. However, they met Gisella here.

"Wow! Everyone's here. What's the matter? You want to buy a violin? But can you play it?"

Gisella blurted out sarcastically.

This incited Rainie's fury.

"What do you mean? Are you the only one who knows how to play the violin? Bah! Unfortunately, Dillon still refuses to accept you as his student, no matter how well you play, right?" Gisella expression darkened immediately upon hearing her words.

"Hah! Don't be too proud of yourselves! You can participate in the violin competition a month later if you've got the skills. If you can win at that time..."

"What will happen after that?"

Mango asked.

Ever since Mango found out that Gisella's background was not that simple, she had developed an interest in this woman.

In the past, she did not want to argue with her for the sake Mr. and Mrs. Shen. But now, it was clearly impossible. If Gisella was really involved in Thomas' accident, then Mango would definitely not spare her. Gisella looked at Mango and sneered, "Heh... you don't dare to come, right? Mango, the violin competition isn't as easy as the car design competition. I think you don't even know how to play the violin, right?" "Well, you don't have to worry about it. As long as we have a consensus on this matter, it will be all good. If I win over you in the competition, what will you do?"

"What do you want from me?"

Gisella was obviously very confident in her skills.

Mango smiled faintly and said, "Nothing much. You only need to answer three questions from

"me.

"What kind of lucky deal is this?"

Gisella frowned, and she was guarding against Mango subconsciously.

"Huh? What? Are you scared? Or your violin skills aren't as good as your bragging skills?"

As expected, Mango's provocation worked.

Gisella straightened up her neck as she huffed,

"Hah! I'm not afraid of you since you've said it. Mango, I'm telling you now that I've already achieved grade four in violin. Do you want to surpass me? It's impossible! Even if you know how to play the violin, I guess you're still a beginner. I advise you not to embarrass yourself."

Upon hearing Gisella's words, Mango's heart thumped with dismay.

She was only in the third grade!

It was really not easy to improve one grade within a month.

However, Mango wanted to know what she had in her mind.

She looked at Gisella and said coldly, "It doesn't matter what grade I am at. Well see each other on the big day, anyway."

"Well, it's a deal. I'll wait for you to surpass me. Haha!"

Gisella strode away proudly.

Rainie looked at Gisella's retreating figure and said with some concerns, "Mango, was I too impulsive? Since Gisella dared to openly challenge you, she could be confident in her own skills. What if you lose after that?"

"She didn't say what will happen if I lose."

Mango smiled.

It was only now that Rainie recalled that Gisella seemed to have always felt that she would win. However, she missed out on what she would need to do if Mango lost.

"Hah! She is an idiot!"

She could not help but shake her head.

"I even doubt how Gisella survived until now. Are you sure she's really an evil person?"

Mango's eyes narrowed as she said in a low voice, "Someone is backing her up and giving her the advice that she needs. Therefore, she could survive until now peacefully."

"Is it Bernard?"

"Maybe... or there are other people who are helping her. Things are getting unclear now. We can't understand the situation, so we can only take one step at a time." Mango took Rainie's hand into hers and turned to choose the violin.

Since she wanted to participate in the competition, she did not want to lose to Gisella. However, her exclusive violin was left in America, which was now with Abyss. Mango did not want to have anything to do with Abyss. Therefore, she had to get a new one.

However, after walking around and choosing the violin, Mango still did not manage to look for a single one which was suitable for her.

"Are you not satisfied at all? Well, why don't we go to the other places to take a look?"

Rainie did not know much about the violin. She even did not know anything about music, and she just knew a few pop songs.

Therefore, Rainie just wanted to try her luck when Mango asked her to visit the music composer. Even if he ignored her, she would not be angry. After all, she knew nothing about music. Mango did not know how to explain to Rainie, but she smiled and said, "It's fine, we can take our time in choosing it, there's no hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Rainie was really not anxious, but Mango was.

"You... I think we'd better go to the bar or somewhere else to have a look. Maybe I can help you to practise your voice."

Mango had not chosen a violin as she did not find a suitable one, so she decided to let it go for the time being and check out on other music stores later.

It was more important to handle Rainie's matter first.

Even though Rainie did not have an aptitude for music, but Mango could tell that her voice was distinct and unique when she first heard her. She sang with her emotions. Hence, it was infectious. Overall, her voice was beautiful.

In the past, when Rainie had no intention of venturing into this industry, Mango had always said that she had the potential to become a singer. However, at that time, no one had taken it seriously.

Looking at how Mango was eager to expose her to the world, Rainie cleared her mind and said, "Well... let's have a try then? However, don't put too much hope on me. So many people are better than me. I'm...I'm nothing!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Now follow me."

Mango took Rainie to a famous bar, where there was a stage for Rainie to perform.

Mango looked for the owner of the bar after they entered. She was hoping that Rainie could have a chance to perform on the stage.

At first, the boss said that he would not agree at all. He said that the bar had a regular singer and that they could not break the rules. However, Mango said that they did not want any money. It was just that Rainie had a dire need to perform.

The boss agreed at last.

In the afternoon, there were not many people in

the bar.

Rainie was a little nervous.

In order to boost Rainie's confidence, Mango went straight up to the stage and sang together with her.

Then, they chose a relatively popular song, and the atmosphere in the bar was quite lively.

Mango led the way, followed by Rainie.

In the beginning, Rainie was not relaxed at all, and she had even gone out of pitch several times. However, after she had sung a few lines, Rainie started to indulge herself. Suddenly, the people in the bar turned their attention to her.

Mango smiled faintly and gradually lowered her voice. In the end, she stopped entirely and allowed Rainie's voice to fill up the bar.

Someone recorded the scene with his mobile phone and quickly posted it on the internet.

It was not long before Rainie and Mango's duet started spreading like wildfire on the internet.

The video quickly dominated the pop charts. A few musical groups and official accounts on the internet that knew music had reposted their video.

Of course, Mango and Rainie did not know what had happened.

Rainie only hoped that Mango would not be disappointed, so she sang wholeheartedly. On the other hand, Mango felt that Rainie needed a stage to prove herself. Right now, the results seemed to be quite

good.

Mango curled up her lip in satisfaction.

It seemed that Rainie was born to be on the stage, and she was destined to shine under the limelight.

Mango looked at how Rainie was swaying her body to the music, and she could not help but take a step back.

When she decided to quietly leave and pass the entire stage to Rainie, the door of the bar opened. The man and woman who stepped in immediately drew Mango's attention.

Her complexion turned pale.
