Chapter 14 Final Examination
Arriving at Liu Lan's door, Yu Zhan put down the package and said to her, "It's up to you from now on."
Liu Lan had no intention of inviting him in, "Thank you."
Yu Zhan smiled and said, "How many times have you said thank you to me from last night till now?"
Then he snapped his fingers at Alaska, "Paul, let's go."
Paul woofed and walked in front of him, his four hooves stepping gracefully and lightly on the floor tiles. In the empty corridor, not even a sound of footsteps could be heard.
"By the way, I need to restock the cat food you requested. Can I give it to you on Monday?"
Liu Lan estimated that the remaining cat food in Riguang should be enough for two days. "Okay, I have an exam on Monday, I'll go to your store to get it in the evening."
"What's the test?" Yu Zhan asked casually.
"Piano, I'm an art student," Liu Lan did not hide it. Yu Zhan gave her a good feeling and was definitely not a bad person.
...
...
Yu Zhan was surprised, "You are a piano major? No wonder."
"What's the wonder?"
Yu Zhan smiled but said nothing. He walked to the elevator with the dog and turned back to Liu Lan and said,
"Good luck on your test on Monday."
"I'll lend you my good words."
Liu Lan had just unpacked the items in the express package and arranged them when Zhang Pei came back.
"Manman, I met your father today."
"How's Dad?" Liu Lan hurried out of the bedroom.
"He has lost a lot of weight, but he is in good spirits. He told us not to worry about him and that the detention center environment is not as bad as we thought."
In Liu Lan's memory, this father loved her so much that he wanted to pick all the stars and give them to her.
"I only said a few words to him and then had to leave, all thanks to your uncle Sun," Zhang Pei said. "I have the dashcam and the surveillance video from the intersection, and I can see that it was the courier who hit us, and your father also stepped on the brakes."
"But Daddy is drinking."
"Yes, drinking makes things worse," Zhang Pei said, feeling angry and resentful towards her husband, but she was helpless. "A sip of wine means a life, which means three million."
"Are you sure it's three million?"
"Yiyi and their lawyer have decided to meet with the Wang family again next week to see if they can negotiate again," Zhang Pei said. She knew there was little hope that the other party would back down, but for the sake of her daughter's future, the three million yuan had to be raised no matter what. She planned to go back to her parents' home to borrow money, and she herself had to go out to work again.
Zhang Pei walked over to Liu Lan and touched her head. "You must strive to do well and graduate successfully. Don't let me and your father down."
Zhang Pei's sigh made Liu Lan's heart feel as heavy as if a huge rock was pressing down on it. Liu Lan raised both hands, held her mother's hand, which already had fine lines on it, and held it tightly.
She was already grateful that God had given her another chance to live. Even if the family was burdened with a huge debt, she was willing to repay the debt for her parents on behalf of the former Liu Lan, as compensation for her occupying her body.
Monday, 8:30, piano classroom.
Liu Lan's class was assigned to piano room 2. No one dared to be late, and everyone arrived ten minutes early. The three invigilators were already sitting inside, and everyone entered the room in turn according to their student numbers.
This kind of test is too easy for students with good grades. Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina are confident and have no pressure at all. They know Liu Lan's level and are quite worried about her.
Li Xiaoru said, "Don't worry about anything else. As long as you can play it smoothly, the teacher will definitely not give you a low score."
Wang Nina nodded. "Teachers usually don't make things difficult for students on purpose. They didn't let you pass the last assessment because you were interrupted too many times. You've been practicing for so many days, I think it should be fine."
"Just don't be nervous. I think you get nervous easily."
Liu Lan's mental quality is really not good. She can't go to the hall. When she is playing, she gets nervous when there are too many people looking at her. If it weren't for Tang Tu's spiritual support, she wouldn't have been so lucky to pass the art exam with a low score.
Liu Lan didn’t know how she would perform in the exam. She was nervous and unsure.
She was taught to play the guqin by Madam Xu. Most of the time, her audiences were only Xiao Zhao and Madam Xu. Occasionally, other women from the cold palace would come over to listen to the sound of her guqin. They said that no matter how beautiful the music was, it could only be played for them, a group of resentful women and servants.
