Tong Yan was temporarily coaxed and stopped throwing tantrums. He planned to try to study the courses of the regular class at the same time and then try to take the exams of the regular class.
I won't act rashly until my grades are good enough to get me into the rocket class.
Xu Xinduo has officially started classes in the Rocket Class. She grew up in a wild way and can adapt to any environment.
There may be unfriendliness in the class, but Xu Xinduo has plenty of ways to make them even more unhappy. Gradually, everyone knew that Xu Xinduo was a thorny person, so they didn't dare to provoke her.
On Saturday, Xu Xinduo's competition reached its finals.
There was actually another round of competition on Friday. The amateur group had one more round than the regular group. Xu Xinduo once again ranked first in the score and successfully broke through the siege.
On Saturday’s finals, the amateur and regular groups finally competed together at the same venue.
There were many more spectators at this competition, which shows the extent to which the amateur group is not taken seriously.
As Mu Qingyao was the favorite to win the championship, her family naturally attached great importance to her, and both of Mu's parents came. They originally wanted to ask Mu Qingyi to come as well, but Mu Qingyi said that he had to make up for the missed classes today and refused to come no matter what.
In fact, Mu Qingyi's family had also noticed his attitude towards Mu Qingyao, and Mu Qingyi was even a little bit repulsive to this younger sister.
Fortunately, Shen’s parents and Shen Zhuhang were here.
The relationship between Chen Zhuhang and Mu Qingyao has eased, but it is not as good as before. Because of Mu Qingyao, Chen Zhuhang has been ridiculed recently and was forced to change classes. He feels a little resentful towards Mu Qingyao. But the two families had an engagement, and Shen Zhuhang performed fairly well.
As the five people were sitting in the audience waiting, there was a sudden commotion.
Everyone looked towards the second floor, but they didn't understand what was going on.
After a while, I heard other people talking: "It seems that a celebrity came to watch the game. He chose a seat on the second floor to keep a low profile, but he was still recognized."
"Who is it?"
"have no idea."
They didn't care and continued to wait.
The two parents were still greeting each other, and Father Shen asked, "Which one is Yaoyao going to appear?"
Father Mu immediately replied with a smile on his face: "Yaoyao is the first one to open. The order is based on the scores of the previous competitions. Yaoyao is the first program to open."
Father Shen was surprised: "They are already ranked, why do we still want to compete?"
Mu's father explained: "This is the honor accumulated from the previous points, which gives enough face to the outstanding players in front. When it comes to the finals, it all depends on the performance in this game."
Father Shen nodded and said, “Well, if Yaoyao is not nervous, it will be no problem to get first place.”
Father Mu was very satisfied with this: "Yes, Yaoyao has been practicing the piano since she was young. She cried a lot when she was young. Her current achievements are also the result of her hard work."
As they were talking, the competition had officially begun. After the host made a few speeches, he announced the first contestant to come on stage, who was, of course, Mu Qingyao.
Mu Qingyao was dressed very appropriately today. The dress was tailor-made for her, highlighting her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses. With delicate makeup on her face, she looked graceful, quiet and elegant as she walked on the stage.
Mother Shen looked at Mu Qingyao and said with satisfaction: “Yaoyao’s temperament is getting better and better.”
Father Mu replied, "Yes, she is a grown-up girl too."
Mu Qingyao herself knew that this was an important opportunity for her to win back her parents and Shen Zhuhang's hearts, so she had to seize it.
We can talk about the school later, but it’s urgent to adjust the relationship with these people.
So she practiced very hard during the time she stayed at home. In addition, she had played the piano well in her early years, so she was sure to win the first place in this competition.
The piece she chose was Chopin's Nocturne No. 20.
The melody of the song is very pleasant to the ear, and is very suitable for appreciation in a quiet environment. The song can calm the body and mind, and bring a sense of comfort and a bit of agility.
Her condition and performance this time were very good, and she has already reached her best. After the performance, the audience applauded for a long time, which made her feel at ease.
Mu Qingyao stood up and saluted, then walked off the stage. A teacher came over to talk to Mu Qingyao, praising her for her good performance.
These teachers were people she had met several times in previous competitions, and they were quite caring towards her. She was also very generous, often buying drinks and treating these teachers to lunch. The teachers also always had a very good impression of Mu Qingyao.
After Mu Qingyao finished the game, she went aside to wait.
Her high heels were a bit high, so she went to the changing area to change them and take a short rest, when she suddenly heard some staff members whispering.
"The player just now played well."
"Yeah, it's really good. I'm the favorite to win."
"I guess she's the first one, right?"
"Not necessarily. In the competition on Wednesday, there was a contestant in the amateur group who played the same piece as her and scored higher than her."
"Amateur group? Impossible? Are the teachers there more lenient and give high scores to those who perform well?"
"I don't know about that, but I heard there's a dark horse in the amateur group."
Mu Qingyao was sitting in the locker room when she was suddenly surprised and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Amateur group?
She had indeed heard of this group, but had never taken it seriously. After all, how many good contestants could there be who didn't even have a certificate?
It is said that the amateur group are all amateurs. Some of them come from ordinary families and cannot afford private teachers. Some have hardly even attended piano classes. Many of them are self-taught.
In previous competitions like this, the gap between the regular group and the amateur group was immediately apparent, so how come there was a dark horse this time? Could it be that there is a talented type?
Mu Qingyao was a little curious and wanted to go to the lounge of the amateur group to take a look. When she walked to the door, she saw people preparing inside and saw Xu Xinduo at a glance.
Xu Xinduo is so eye-catching that even if she is just sitting in the crowd, she can be spotted at a glance. Her temperament and appearance are very outstanding, and she is someone who will never be buried.
Mu Qingyao's heart tightened. Could it be that Xu Xinduo was the dark horse in the amateur group?
It's her again!
This thought suddenly appeared in Mu Qingyao's mind.
Why is it her again!
It can be explained that Xu Xinduo won the first place in table tennis, tennis and Sanda before. It can be explained as Xu Xinduo is very good in sports.
But how could she also play the piano? !
Playing the piano is not something that can be mastered by just having excellent physical fitness. Many of them have been learning it since childhood. Mu Qingyao has been playing the piano since she can remember.
Does Xu Xinduo have that condition?
How is that possible?
There are music classes in the countryside, but are there real pianos? Can Xu Xinduo continue to practice?
Mu Qingyao fled in panic, feeling terrified, but did nothing.
Whatever she does now is wrong and she must not do those things again.
She didn't believe Xu Xinduo would be very powerful.
As the competition entered the second half, the host announced: "Next is the amateur group's competition. The first to go is Xu Xinduo from the Rocket Class of Jiahua International School, who will perform the song "Bell."
After the host left, many people were a little surprised that the contestants in the amateur group chose such a difficult piece as "Bell"?
Is this a last-ditch effort?
Rumor has it that "The Bells" was once considered an "impossible to play" piece.
When Xu Xinduo was practicing, he often encountered problems in one area. There is a section that requires one to jump four octaves very quickly with one hand, which is imitating the sound of bells and also challenging the limits.
After Xu Xinduo came on stage, there was a lot of discussion. It was really that this contestant's appearance and temperament were too outstanding.
This kind of appearance will give people a visual impact. People are visual animals and will subconsciously have a good impression of girls with good looks.
Especially when Xu Xinduo walked this distance, she showed her natural temperament.
After Xu Xinduo sat down, he began to play.
Her piano playing has always been spiritual, the rhythm is not stiff, but coherent and comfortable to listen to.
If "Nocturne No. 20" is a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, then "The Bells" is intense.
The tune was always cheerful, as if a bell was really ringing.
When Xu Xinduo was playing, the audience was silent. Only when she finished did they burst into applause. It was so amazing. It was like watching a wonderful performance in this kind of youth competition.
Xu Xinduo stood up, saluted, and then walked off the stage.
The Mu family's parents remained silent. They didn't even know that their own daughter could play the piano, and play it so well.
Even if they didn't want to admit it in their hearts, they had to admit that Xu Xinduo's performance was indeed better than Mu Qingyao's.
Xu Xinduo's playing can be said to be a pleasure.
The mood of the Mu family’s parents has not yet calmed down, and Mother Shen, who had been silent, suddenly said: “The little girl just now seems to be your family’s adopted daughter. I haven’t heard that she is going to participate in the competition before.”
Even Mu’s parents didn’t know about this.
Father Mu laughed dryly and replied: "It's the participation that matters."
Mother Shen suddenly changed her tone, with a hint of sourness in her tone: "This adopted daughter is indeed quite outstanding, beautiful and has a good temperament. Is she also in the rocket class?"
Father Mu also suddenly came to his senses. Why did Xu Xinduo suddenly go to the rocket class?
He remembered that the rocket class had tuition waivers, and Xu Xinduo ranked first in the last exam, so it was not surprising that he went.
They really don't know anything about Xu Xinduo's situation now!
Shen Zhuhang suddenly said, "She ranked first in the last exam, and Mu Qingyi was only second."
Mother Shen was very surprised and asked again: "Oh, what about Yaoyao?"
Shen Zhuhang hadn’t paid much attention to Mu Qingyao’s affairs recently, so he answered casually, “I don’t remember, maybe 20 or 30.”
Mother Mu quickly said, "There are seventeen."
In the eyes of Shen's parents, this position is actually not that different.
Anyway, she is at the back, not as good as Xu Xinduo and Mu Qingyi.
Mother Shen spoke again: “Then this adopted daughter is indeed very outstanding, no wonder your family adopted her, let her come to Zhuhang’s birthday party.”
Now Xu Xinduo no longer lives in the Mu family, and the Mu family's parents can't invite their daughter. Mu's father can only laugh dryly and say: "She grew up in the countryside and doesn't know many rules. If she goes there, it's bound to get into trouble."
Mother Shen was surprised: “I can’t tell, she has a good temperament.”
Father Mu: "What can we see in such a short time?"
After that, neither family said anything else, but everyone knew that after Xu Xinduo appeared, both families were not at peace.
The Mu family's parents didn't know how much Xu Xinduo had hidden from them.
There were too many bizarre things happening to Xu Xinduo that caught them off guard.
Mother Mu clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, feeling mixed emotions. She felt even more upset after seeing her daughter. She wanted to find Xu Xinduo later and ask her to come back quickly and stop suffering outside.
After the competition, an accident still happened. Not only did Mu Qingyao not get first place, but she only got third place.
When making the invitation, Mu's parents vowed that Mu Qingyao would definitely be the first place. As a result, I became the third place in the competition.
The first place winner is Xu Xinduo, the adopted daughter of the Mu family. After standing on the stage to receive the award, the top three will take a group photo. Mu Qingyao was standing next to Xu Xinduo. The contrast between the two girls standing side by side was quite strong.
Mu Qingyao was wearing high heels, but her height was still not enough and she was completely reduced to a foil.
After the awards were presented, the competition ended.
Mu Qingyao was completely stunned and miserable. After listening to Xu Xinduo's performance, her soul was shattered by one third.
She put on her coat and walked out of the venue. Seeing her parents and Shen's parents, she walked over to greet them.
Chen Zhuhang was still as indifferent as before. While standing aside, he was looking elsewhere and didn't even look at Mu Qingyao.
They also made an appointment to have dinner together afterwards, and Shen's mother suddenly asked: "Aren't you going with your adopted daughter?"
Father Mu smiled awkwardly: "No, it's rare for our two families to get together."
Mother Mu looked at Father Mu, feeling conflicted. She actually wanted to talk to Xu Xinduo, but she couldn't reveal it in front of her in-laws.
After missing this opportunity, will there be another such good opportunity?
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the venue, and there were exclamations.
When they looked over, they saw that the person walking among the crowd seemed to be Yin Huan. Yin Huan is a veteran artist and does not follow the traffic route, but she still has some popularity and people were surprised when they recognized her.
Why did Yin Huan suddenly appear here?
Then we saw Yin Huan's son, who looked better than the popular idols, following her, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
I guess the commotion before was caused by Yin Huan?
When a mother and son are together like this, it is easy to attract attention even if they are in disguise, so it is not surprising that they are recognized.
After every game, Xu Xinduo would immediately put on long johns and a down jacket before coming out.
When she came out, she saw Yin Huan and the others waiting. She immediately went over to hug Yin Huan to celebrate, and then said, "Let's go back."
Tong Yan gave the flowers to Xu Xinduo. This time the flowers were bought by Tong Yan. They had obvious features, mainly because two strings of candied haws were inserted in the flowers.
Xu Xinduo laughed when she saw it.
Yin Huan said: "Your parents are watching you over there."
Xu Xinduo turned her head and took a look, then lowered her eyes and said, "Oh, I... don't want to pay attention to them."
"Go and say hello, just so that others won't say you're an ungrateful person. I hate them too." Yin Huan leaned over and whispered, then walked over with Xu Xinduo.
Xu Xinduo didn't say anything. Yin Huan walked over with a smile and said, "You guys are here to watch the game too?"
Naturally, Mu's parents and Shen's parents would not refuse Yin Huan's face, and they also greeted her with a smile.
Yin Huan said to the Mu family's parents, "Duoduo has been living with me recently. She and I get along well. Let her accompany me. Don't worry."
Mu's mother was very surprised.
Xu Xinduo lives with Yin Huan? It simply cut off her argument to persuade Xu Xinduo to go back.
Xu Xinduo was not suffering outside, and seemed to be doing better than at home.
Having said that, Yin Huan took Xu Xinduo away.
Xu Xinduo only glanced at Mu's parents and Mu Qingyao coldly when she left. There was no warmth in her eyes. She didn't say a word the whole time and just left like that.
After being looked at by Xu Xinduo, Mother Mu's heart tightened, and Father Mu gnashed his teeth in anger.
Tong Yan followed them and felt even more disgusted with this family. When he left, he gave them a displeased look and left as well.
Shen's parents are not stupid, so they can naturally see the awkward atmosphere.
But they didn't say anything, they just took the two children to eat together. Halfway through the meal, Shen Zhuhang left, saying that he had an appointment with friends to go out and play.
When he left, he didn't say a word to Mu Qingyao, nor did he say which friend he was. Mu Qingyao watched Shen Zhuhang leave, and then looked at the atmosphere between the two parents, and almost cried on the spot.
The meal wasn't very enjoyable after that and ended right away.
On the way back in the car, Mother Shen felt more and more uncomfortable: "What's going on with the Mu family? Suddenly they got an adopted daughter, and I treated her as an illegitimate daughter and ignored her. It's hard for us to control such things even if we are relatives. But now the more I think about it, the more wrong it is. Do you think Mu Qingyao is not their biological child at all?!"
Father Shen thought Mother Shen's theory was ridiculous and immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Look at that Mu Qingyao. She is not as good as the adopted daughter in any way. The adopted daughter is obviously more like the biological daughter of the Mu family."
"Our two families have been in contact for so many years, how could we not know whether Yaoyao is her biological daughter? We also watched Yaoyao grow up."
Mother Shen still felt unhappy. The contrast was too strong. Mu Qingyao was outshined too badly.
There was a better one, but they took the bad one.
Mother Shen spoke again: "I always feel that they gave us the one who was not their own child and was raised badly, and then threw the better one to the Tong family to please the wife of the Tong family, and rely on their own daughter to marry the young master of the Tong family to climb up the social ladder!"
"You have a rich imagination. Didn't you see that the adopted daughter doesn't have a good relationship with the Mu family? The look in her eyes makes me feel that this girl is difficult to get along with. She is too cold."
"No, we need to ask the Mu family to do a paternity test."
Father Shen was immediately angry: "Isn't this nonsense? With such an appraisal, there will be a crack in the relationship between the two families, right?"
"There are a lot of people talking about this right now. A certificate of appraisal can silence them, right? Isn't this reason enough? It will make us feel better."
"It's obvious that Xu Xinduo is not a girl who can live a good life. Yaoyao is dignified and decent. I really don't know why you are upset."
"But it's obviously more prestigious for Xu Xinduo to take her out, right? She's better than Mu Qingyao in every way, so why not take the better one?!"
Father Shen found it more and more absurd: "Could it be that you want to date someone else after Zhuhang and Yaoyao are in love? Or your ex-girlfriend's sister?"
"What's the big deal? How many young kids nowadays haven't changed their romantic partners several times?"
"Don't make trouble anymore. You're just thinking about all kinds of messes." After saying this, Father Shen closed his eyes and ignored Mother Shen, leaving Mother Shen alone and indignant.
