Geng Qiu didn’t expect to hear this news the moment she got home. Her face turned pale. “Grandma, what did you say? Old Madam Zhao wants to break off the engagement?”

“Yes, she said it in front of many people. At that time, I said my Qiuqiu was too naive, so she was misled. This time, you must use the first place to shut that damn old woman’s mouth. Otherwise, your engagement with Zhao Yuzheng might really be lost.”

Old Madam Geng rarely went out to drink tea recently because of the Geng family’s matters. She did not expect to meet Old Madam Zhao as soon as she went out today.

Not only did Old Madam Zhao mercilessly mock Geng Qiu in front of everyone, but she also secretly threatened Old Madam Geng, telling her to tell Geng Qiu that the Zhao Family did not welcome her.

Geng Qiu’s expression was ugly as she clenched her fists tightly. She did not expect Old Madam Zhao to say such things about her in front of everyone, and she even respected her so much.

“Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll go practice now. Not only do I want to win the Ice City piano competition, but I also want to win the provincial and national awards. I also want to compete overseas!”

Geng Qiu was very excited. She didn’t expect Old Madam Zhao to be the biggest stumbling block to her wholeheartedly liking Zhao Yuzheng and wanting to be with him.

“Qiuqiu, don’t be too angry. Your health is the most important. Grandma believes in your strength. You can definitely do it!” Old Madam Geng gently patted Geng Qiu’s small hand. Their Geng Clan was currently in a troubled period, so they had to rely on Geng Qiu to make the Geng Clan proud.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll go practice now. I’ll definitely get first place!” After Geng Qiu finished speaking, she ran upstairs. She didn’t return to her room and went straight to the piano room to practice the piano.

During class the next day, Geng Qiu secretly used her mobile phone to read the news about the piano competition. When she saw the announcement that had just been released, she stood up excitedly. She never expected that both Labol and Monchitov would be judges for the piano competition.

Lapor and Monchitov were two of the most famous piano superstars, especially Monchitov, who had retired from the piano industry for many years due to health reasons. It was unbelievable that he would suddenly appear and attend a city-level piano competition.

Geng Qiu looked at the headlines and clenched her fists. She felt that even the heavens were helping her.

Lapor was her teacher. Although she had never announced her identity in the piano world, she believed that Lapor would definitely side with her during the competition. Her championship was a little more secure.

She felt as if she had won the championship.

“Geng Qiu…Geng Qiu…The teacher is asking you to answer the question!”

Just as Geng Qiu was feeling very excited, her deskmate called her name, reminding her that she had been called out by the teacher.

Geng Qiu was jolted awake from her sweet dream. She instantly stood up from her seat and looked awkwardly at Chu Jie, who was looking at her. “I’m sorry, Teacher Chu. I was distracted just now!”

A smile suddenly appeared on Chu Jie’s gloomy face. She waved her hand at Geng Qiu and said gently, “I know you’re going to have a piano competition soon. You’ve been under a lot of pressure recently, but you still have to listen well. Even if you can achieve great achievements in the piano field in the future, you still need to have a cultural foundation to support you. You can’t neglect one thing and lose the other!”

Geng Qiu did not expect Chu Jie to use such a tone to speak to her. The awkward expression on her face completely disappeared as she smiled sweetly at Chu Jie.

“Thank you for your concern, Teacher Chu. I’ll definitely work harder in the future. I’ve indeed been a little nervous about the piano competition recently, so I get distracted easily. I won’t do it again in the future.”

“That’s good. Sit down and listen carefully.” Chu Jie’s amiable tone surprised everyone.

After class, Chu Jie specially called Geng Qiu to her office and asked about the situation at Geng Qiu’s home. When she heard that Geng Shikui’s physical condition had stabilized, her nervous emotions that had been around for many days calmed down. She felt that with the Geng family around, her husband’s educational institution would not have any problems.

“Geng Qiu, if you have any difficulties or questions, you must communicate with the teacher more. Practicing the piano is very hard, but you can’t delay your studies. Only a top student piano player will be more sought after by everyone. That way, you will be able to go further and further on the road of art. ”

Chu Jie’s words implied that she hoped Geng Qiu would study hard. Geng Qiu was also a smart child, so she understood what Chu Jie meant.

“Thank you for your concern, Teacher. After my piano competition is over, I’ll have to trouble Teacher Chu to help me with my missed homework. Teacher, you’ve worked hard.”

“It’s not hard at all. Study hard and have good results. I’m happy and proud of you.”

When Wang Zihan and Qin Ling passed by the office, they happened to see the scene of these two virtuous people. They couldn’t help but feel a chill. It was really two saint b*tches meeting each other. It was really disgusting.

Yang Jingting patted the two of them from behind and waved at them, telling them to leave quickly and not be discovered by Chu Jie. Otherwise, there would be trouble again. It was not easy for things to be peaceful recently.

The two of them understood Yang Jingting’s gesture and quickly left the office door to return to Class Twenty.

As soon as they returned to the classroom, they heard Zhao Yuyao talking about Old Madam Zhao wanting Zhao Yuzheng and Geng Qiu to break off the engagement.

Wen Xin looked at Zhao Yuyao lazily, not showing any expression at all.

“Little Grandaunt, Xingyue is injured now and can’t participate in the piano competition. I heard that Chu Jie went to the vice-principal’s office early in the morning to ask for a special privilege for Geng Qiu so that she could practice the piano in the piano room. I reckon that Vice-principal Li will come and ask you for the key to the piano room very soon.”

“Then give it to her.” As Wen Xin spoke, she took the key from his backpack and placed it on the table. His lips curled into a devilish smile, as if she was waiting for something to take the bait.

Zhao Yuyao never thought that Wen Xin would actually take out the keys. If she let Geng Qiu practice the piano, wouldn’t she be helping Geng Qiu? Could it be like this?

“No, Little Aunt, why are you still helping Geng Qiu? Shouldn’t you hate her? If she practices with that piano, she will definitely improve.”

“Progress? How is that possible? The only difference between pianos is the sound quality. Do you really think that you can improve your piano skills with just 30 million yuan? That’s impossible.”

Wen Xin took out a medical book from the drawer and placed it on the table. She flipped through it casually, and in her bright black eyes, there was an unknown emotion hidden, making it difficult for others to understand.

“Wen Xin, Vice-principal Li is looking for you.” Tang Luoluo stood at the door and looked at Vice-principal Li respectfully. She shouted in Wen Xin’s direction.

Wen Xin casually threw one of the keys to Zhao Yuyao. She said to Zhao Yuyao,

“Give him the key..”
