The principal was about to speak, but before he had time to say anything, Mr. Yang interrupted him. “To be honest, the boy playing the violin isn’t bad—he’s considered within the upper-middle level—but he’s still not good enough and doesn’t compare to my disciples. As for the girl who’s playing the piano, what the hell is she doing…?”
“Cough-” The principal choked on his saliva. He glanced at Elder Yang and said awkwardly, “Well, I think she isn’t that bad, right?…”
“I’m telling the truth.” Elder Yang turned away crossly. How did the principal have the nerve to boast about his students’ gift for music? Elder Yang trusted him and specifically came to the school to pick good talents, but it turned out to be a waste of his time. He might as well have gone directly to Second High School.
The principal was at a loss for what to say for quite a while. Just when he thought that this matter was over, Elder Yang suddenly turned and looked at Jiang Xinyi standing beside him, who had been fawning on him but now suddenly turned pale. He asked, “Oh? Who is your child? Has she performed yet?”
Jiang Xinyi was very good at handling interpersonal relationships. In order for Sheng Yue to be selected as Elder Yang’s disciple, she ran over to stand beside Elder Yang long ago and started talking to him. Unexpectedly, Elder Yang belittled Sheng Yue’s performance like it was nothing.
Upon hearing Elder Yang’s question, Jiang Xinyi was in a dilemma. She certainly couldn’t lie so she could only say in a low voice, “My child is the girl playing the piano on stage.”
At the same time, she felt a tingling pain on her face.
“Oh,” Elder Yang didn’t feel embarrassed but said seriously, “I think she will need to work really really hard if she wants to be a pianist.”
“Yes, you’re right.” Jiang Xinyi forced a smile.
The next few performances were all lackluster. Elder Yang was so disappointed at the shows that he stood up to leave. This frustrated and disappointed the students who hadn’t performed yet. They were really unlucky!
Elder Yang had already reached the door when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the students.
He frowned and turned around, only to see a girl in a white dress standing quietly on the stage. At a distance, he couldn’t see her clearly. Her silhouette, however, had a dreamy beauty.
Upon seeing Yangyang come on stage, Fang Duo immediately applauded like a little seal again. “Yeah! Yeah…”
Her voice resounded throughout the whole auditorium, fearlessly loud.
Seeing her so excited, the other students in the other classes all laughed.
“Why is Fang Duo so excited? Sheng Yang hasn’t even performed yet.”
“But to be honest, Sheng Yang looks gorgeous on the stage.”
“Haha, what’s she going to do with the triangle? Isn’t that for elementary school students? Do we just need to look at her face?”
Kang Weizhen and Sheng You also noticed at a glance the girl cheering on their daughter most loudly. She stood in the crowd and her eyes seemed to be glowing.
While Kang Weizhen was domineering and serious at work, whenever it came to her daughter, she became very sentimental. “That’s great. Our daughter has a good friend.”
“Yes.” Sheng You held her tightly in his arms, and the two of them almost cried with joy.
When Elder Yang heard “triangle,” he smiled and quietly walked back.
