Chapter 245: Something Is Wrong With Wen Xin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Yuyao took the keys from Wen Xin and hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he looked at Wen Huai. Wen Huai also looked at Wen Xin, then shook his head at Zhao Yuyao and said in a very calm voice,” Go and send it over.”
Vice-Principal Li. who was standing in the corridor waiting for Wen Xin to come out, was still thinking about how he should tell Wen Xin to give him the keys to the piano room. However, he did not expect the person who came out to be Zhao Yuyao.
“Student Zhao, what’s the matter?”
“This is the key to the piano room. Didn’t Vice Principal Li come here for this? I also have to remind Vice Principal Li that the key to the piano room cannot be given out casually. After all, it’s more than 30 million yuan. If it’s damaged, it’ll be a loss for the school. It’s probably impossible to have a second one in this lifetime.’
After Zhao Yuyao handed the key to Vice-principal Li, he turned around and put his hands in his pockets. He left arrogantly without giving Vice-principal Li a chance to speak.
Vice-principal Li held the key and looked at Zhao Yuyao’s back. His brows were tightly knitted together. He felt that the students of Class Twenty were becoming increasingly unruly. It was better to clean them up properly. However, with Vice-principal Wang around, he could not do anything.
Just as he returned to the principal’s office, Chu Jie quickly followed them in. “How was it? Did you ask for the keys to the piano room? If Student Geng Qiu gets first place, it will be an honor for our school. At that time, my outstanding teacher and your promotion to principal will be just around the corner. You don’t want to be suppressed by the new vice-principal, right? Isn’t this feeling too uncomfortable?”
Vice-principal Li hesitated momentarily after Chu Jie brought up the main issue. He placed the key on the table and sighed helplessly. “The key was obtained too smoothly. I keep feeling that something is not right. Wen Xin did not appear. I did not even explain my purpose, but she asked Zhao Yuyao to give the key. No matter how I think about it, this does not fit Wen Xin’s style.”
When Vice-principal Li went to look for Wen Xin, he had already expected to be rejected. However, he did not expect that Wen Xin would not only not reject him but even give him the key without him asking. Wasn’t this too strange?
“What’s strange? Don’t you know? Geng Shikui’s health has already recovered, and the son of the Geng family has also run away. Have you heard about the matter of the son of the Geng family proposing to Wen Xin a while ago? She probably thought she could be with the young master of the Geng family, so she was more arrogant. Now that her son has run away, she has no one to rely on. Of course, she wants to curry favor with Geng Qiu. After all, Geng Qiu is the true princess of the Geng family.”
Chu Jie had heard quite a bit of news about Wen Xin and would pay special attention to anything related to Wen Xin. She was not surprised that her attitude towards Wen Xin had changed. She felt that Wen Xin was using this opportunity to curry favor with Geng Qiu.
After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. She had no one to rely on, so she had to find someone to rely on.
‘ Alright, don’t think too much about it. I’ll take the key. It’s more important for Geng Qiu to practice hard and get good results.”
After lunch, a group of people passed by the piano room and listened to the unfamiliar piano music. Miao Xianhe looked at Wen Xin, who was casually eating ice cream.
“Xin Jie, why does Geng Qiao’s piano piece sound so similar to the one Xingyue played, but not quite the same? It feels a bit awkward listening to it. What’s going on?”
After Wen Xin finished the last bite of ice cream, he squeezed the packing into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
” It’s just an imitation. Xingyue’s piano piece is the original, while hers is the analyzed version. She doesn’t have the original score, so she probably paid a composer to analyze the original piano piece from the video. Some of the notes are missing, but it’s not easy to piece it together like this.”
Wen Xin’s lips curled into a smile as she listened to the unpleasant piano piece. She knew that Geng Qiu wanted the piano piece. At that time, Geng Shikui offered a million yuan to buy the piece for Geng Jiao’s sake, but Lapor rejected him immediately.
For Lapor, that song was priceless.
“Analysis version? Wasn’t that a replica? She dared to use it in the competition without the copyright. Isn’t she afraid of getting into trouble?” Zhao Yuyao had some understanding of this kind of thing. The songs used in the competition needed copyright. Otherwise, if the original song were discovered, it would definitely cause trouble.
“The original was never published, so there’s no issue with the copyright. This piece was only published by the piano master, Lapor, four years ago. Since then, no one has played it again, nor has the copyright been sold.”
Wen Xin leaned lazily against a tree and looked toward the piano studio. She suddenly decided to use this song to compete. She wanted Geng Qiu to know she was not worthy of fighting with her.
Wen Huai’s gaze was fixed on Wen Xin; he could not understand what Wen Xin was trying to do.
Ever since Wen Xin returned to school, something had been amiss. She failed to find the person who had hurt Tan Xingyue and even handed over the keys to the piano room so that Geng Qiu could use her piano.
Everything felt strange. He had a nagging feeling that Wen Xin was playing a long game and wanted to do something big.
Raising his head and meeting Wen Huai’s eyes, Wen Xin narrowed her eyes at Wen Huai and chuckled.” I’m going back to the dormitory to sleep for a while.
I’m tired…”
The group of people did not open their mouths to stop Wen Xin. Instead, they made way for her and watched as Wen Xin left.
“It’s getting harder and harder to understand what Little Aunt is thinking. You guys don’t know how nasty Class One’s words are. Class One said Little Aunt is taking the initiative to express goodwill to Geng Qiu because Tan Xingyue can’t participate in the competition, so she wants to use the piano to please Geng Qiu and return to the Geng family.”
“Pfft, why would my little grandaunt need to return to the Geng family? Mu…”
Before Zhao Yuyao could finish his sentence, Wen Huai covered his mouth. He did not want to expose Mu Chengxi’s identity in school. There were already enough rumors about Wen Xin. He did not want to cause more trouble for Wen
Xin. Who knew what the rumors would become if people with ulterior motives heard it.
“Watch your mouth. There are some things you can say and some things you can’t. If you say them, you’ll cause a lot of trouble. Don’t you know that?”
Wen Huai let go of his hand and couldn’t help but nudge Zhao Yuyao’s back with his elbow to remind him not to spout nonsense.
Zhao Yuyao thought of Mu Chengxi’s identity and covered his mouth. He slapped his head hard— he had almost said something wrong.
The others looked at Zhao Yuyao and Wen Huai and pretended nothing had happened. They had no right to ask about the big shots. After class in the afternoon, Wen Xin walked out of the classroom with her backpack. Qian Bochen walked out of his office excitedly and walked to Wen
Xin’s side as if he had something to tell Wen Xin.
Wen Xin glanced at Qian Bochen. Before Qian Bochen could say anything, she spoke flatly, “Teacher Qian, let’s talk outside. This is not the place to talk.”
