In this event, several outstanding students were selected based on the judges' scores, and then one of these students was selected to study under Xu Jingyan.
There were four students participating in the competition at Bai Xiao's Art Center, including many who had studied violin for three or four years. When Bai Xiao heard the host's score report, she couldn't believe it because the score was too low. The person in charge exclaimed
: "How is that possible? It's obviously better than the previous one!"
Seeing the child lowering his head in frustration, Bai Xiao frowned and looked thoughtfully at where the judges were sitting.
Although Xu Jingyan was a guest invited to the event, he did not participate in the scoring. Instead, he gave his seat as a judge to Xu Zhenning.
During the intermission, Xu Zhenning left the banquet hall and went to the bathroom.
Bai Xiao touched the child's head comfortingly, then stepped away from the chair and stood up. The person in charge asked: "Teacher Bai, where are you going?"
"Go and take care of a personal matter."
——————————
When Bai Xiao walked into the bathroom, Xu Zhenning was applying lipstick in front of the mirror. It was very coquettishly red, like a fire burning in a person's chest.
Seeing her, Xu Zhenning was not surprised, as if he was waiting for her specially.
Bai Xiao didn't mince words: "Ding Lei's score shouldn't be so low. According to the previous scoring standards, he would have scored at least eighty-five."
Xu Zhenning slowly put the lipstick back into her cosmetic bag, without rushing to unzip it. She raised her head and looked at Bai Xiao through the mirror.
"Which music conservatory did you graduate from?"
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked back at Xu Zhen's beautiful eyes with eye shadow in the mirror, and answered truthfully: "I didn't apply for this kind of school back then."
"Then from what standpoint do you question my professional standards now?" Xu Zhenning curled up the corners of her lips with sarcasm in her eyes.
Bai Xiao frowned, and after a moment, he said, "I thought you would be a person who distinguishes between public and private matters."
Xu Zhenning turned on the faucet and washed her hands: "Why, if I give low marks to the students under your command, do you mean you are someone who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters?"
"I'm afraid you know better than I do whether you are indifferent between public and private affairs."
Xu Zhenning pressed the faucet, turned around, and looked at Bai Xiao's face with light makeup, especially under the light, Bai Xiao's delicate and smooth skin, and there was not a single fine line at the corner of her eyes. She had had such a time before, but
, at that time, she could only see that one man in her heart and eyes.
Just this morning when she woke up, she looked in the mirror and found two thin lines at the corners of her eyes.
Xu Zhenning is already tall. She wears eight-centimeter high heels and is more than half a head taller than Bai Xiao, who wears flat shoes.
Looking at the beautiful Bai Xiao, Xu Zhenning chuckled: "I found that Miss Bai talks like a child who has not yet grown up."
"..." Bai Xiao certainly wouldn't think that Xu Zhenning was praising her youth.
She met Xu Zhenning's smiling eyes: "I'm just saying what I want to say. As for whether I have grown up, there is someone who knows better than Miss Xu."
Xu Zhenning's smile faltered, and she clenched her hands on the side of the sink to control her emotions.
When Bai Xiao said "someone", what immediately came to her mind was Yu Shaoting. No matter how Bai Xiao's words sounded, they were full of provocation.
——————————
Bai Xiao saw that Xu Zhenning looked unhappy, and knew that it would be useless to talk more. She didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned around and left the bathroom.
After only a few steps, Xu Zhenning chased after her: "Stop! Did I tell you to leave?"
Bai Xiao felt uncomfortable after hearing the commanding words. Hearing the sound of high heels, he stopped and turned around: "Is there anything else?"
Xu Zhenning had suppressed her turbulent emotions, slowed down her hurried steps, walked up to Bai Xiao, looked Bai Xiao up and down, with a very shallow smile on her lips, impeccably generous and decent: "If I hadn't seen you last night,
I really would not associate you with my brother-in-law."
She was also born as a rich young lady, and compared to the cunning and willful Yu Yiwei, Bai Xiao disliked the Miss Xu in front of her even more.
Yu Yiwei directly expresses her dislike for you in her words, but Xu Zhenning is obviously not a fickle person and can control his temper.
Bai Xiao heard what Xu Zhenning said and didn't answer. Xu Zhenning just needed an opening statement, and what he said next was the focus.
"Brother-in-law's choice is really unexpected." Xu Zhenning looked at Bai Xiao and curled her lips: "I heard that you have met my eldest aunt?"
Bai Xiao couldn't guess why she asked this question, but she was sure that she was definitely not paving the way to say something nice.
Xu Zhenning didn't want Bai Xiao to answer, and said to herself: "To be honest, when I found out, I was also surprised."
From the sighing tone, Bai Xiao heard Xu Zhenning's hostility towards her, as well as a trace of undisguised disdain, and couldn't help but smile: "Really?"
"If I remember correctly, it seems that you did not go to a regular university. You went to night school after you started working?"
Bai Xiao looked at her without answering. Xu Zhenning shrugged: "Sorry, I checked some of your information at the Art Center last night."
"Speaking of this, I think my brother-in-law graduated from Stanford University. You should know Stanford, right? The largest private university in the United States, the current King Philippe of Belgium graduated from there. More recently, a well-known e-commerce company in China also graduated from XX
An alumnus who was once my brother-in-law."S's autograph."
"..." Xu Zhenning looked at her coldly: "Did Miss Bai really not understand what I said, or was she just pretending to be confused?"
"Then I also want to say something to Miss Xu: the sea does not laugh at water droplets, and the mountains do not laugh at pebbles."
Xu Zhenning chuckled in disbelief, frowned and looked at Bai Xiao: "This sentence sounds inspiring, but the reality is reality. You don't have impressive academic qualifications, but are just a woman from a small city in the countryside. Are you really
Do you think, how can you be worthy of him?"
"Do you know the circle that my brother-in-law has been living in? He is in Las Vegas and is often busy socializing. He goes to the racecourse to ride horses every other week. He goes to the fitness center to play ball every Thursday afternoon. The bar he goes to most often is his favorite bar.
The wine you like to drink, the cigarettes you like to smoke, how much do you know about these?"
"There is also his circle of friends, which are either the third generation of red officials or the second generation of wealthy businessmen and knowledgeable people. Have you ever thought about whether you will be accepted by them?" Xu Zhenning's eyes were a little aggressive, "Miss Bai, please don't
Tell me you've never considered these issues."
Bai Xiao felt a sigh of relief. At first, Mrs. Yu opposed her and Yu Shaoting, but she never questioned her so confidently.
Now, from what standpoint does Xu Zhenning say these words?!
Although Bai Xiao has a gentle personality since she was a child and often doesn't like to argue with others, it doesn't mean that she will be slaughtered by others.
She met Xu Zhenning's questioning gaze without any sign of weakness: "Did you say Yu Shaoting's friend was Lu Jinsheng or Xin Bai?"
Xu Zhenning's eyes trembled.
"I have accepted all of Miss Xu's advice. In the past, I never bothered to understand Yu Shaoting's life. When you talked about it, I realized that I really didn't care about him enough. In the future, I will do my best.
Responsibility, take good care of him and Jing Xi."
Xu Zhenning looked at Bai Xiao who said these words without changing her expression. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She had never seen someone who was ignorant, but she had never seen someone who was so overestimating his abilities.
Bai Xiao's face remained as usual: "Have you finished speaking, Miss Xu? If you have nothing to say, I will go in first."
With that said, Bai Xiao turned around to enter the banquet hall, but saw Xu Jingyan.
Xu Zhenning saw Xu Jingyan standing there at some point, and her face was startled. Because Xu Jingyan was standing in a hidden position, she didn't see him just now.
Bai Xiao just nodded at him with a very calm expression, then walked to the banquet hall by herself, opened the door and went in.
Xu Jingyan looked away from the swinging door and looked at Xu Zhenning without much expression on his face: "Wait a moment, you don't have to go in."
——————————
Bai Xiao returned to the banquet hall, took a deep breath, and then she found Yu Jingxi sitting in her seat.
As a guest, Xu Jingyan only needed to appear before the end of the event, so the little guy stayed in the VIP room with him.
Thinking of meeting Xu Jingyan outside just now, it is not surprising that Yu Jingxi appears here.
As soon as Bai Xiao walked over, Yu Jingxi came up to her: "Where have you been? As soon as I came in, I couldn't find you."
"Bathroom." Bai Xiao patted his shoulder: "Sit over and make some room for me."
Yu Jingxi immediately moved her buttocks, waited for Bai Xiao to sit down, and turned to look at her: "Who made you unhappy again?"
"What do you think?"
The little guy curled his lips, twisted his little body, and muttered: "It's not me anyway, I just got here."
Bai Xiao ruffled his soft curly hair and felt much better.
Suddenly, there was some confusion at the judges' table. Bai Xiao also looked over and saw Xu Jingyan sitting in Xu Zhenning's seat.
Several leaders from the organizer had already gone over to shake hands with Xu Jingyan.
Xu Jingyan was very low-key when he came in, and almost no one noticed. After he explained a few words in a low voice, the event was announced to continue in the second half.
As for Xu Zhenning, she did not appear in the banquet hall again.
Although the students selected at the end of the event were not from Bai Xiao and her art center, Bai Xiao did not give in. Xu Jingyan was very fair throughout the whole process.
Bai Xiao couldn't help but touch Ding Lei's head. If it weren't for her dragging him down, he wouldn't have such a low score.
Maybe she shouldn't have agreed to come and lead the team, but in the end she failed to help and was held back.
An on-site staff member suddenly ran over, "Excuse me, who is the kid Ding Lei?"
Bai Xiao was confused and the staff explained: "Oh, Mr. Xu said that he thought the student named Ding Lei just now did a good job and wanted to call you over to give you some guidance."
The person in charge was ecstatic at first and hurriedly took Ding Lei there, not forgetting to tell Bai Xiao to watch the other children first.
——————————
After a while, the person in charge led Ding Lei back with a bright face. According to the schedule, the group had to go back to Fengcheng after dinner.
Bai Xiao has to go to work tomorrow and Yu Jingxi has to go to school, so he plans to go back together.
A group of people were preparing to go to the hotel restaurant for dinner. Before they left the banquet hall, an assistant ran over and said, "Is it Miss Bai?"
Bai Xiao nodded, not knowing the other person: "It's me, is something wrong?"
"JY asked you to wait for him, he will be fine soon," the assistant said.
"..." Bai Xiao didn't quite understand what he meant, nor did she understand why Xu Jingyan wanted to convey such a sentence?
The person in charge was surprised: "Bai Xiao, do you know jy Xu?!"
Bai Xiao had a headache and dismissed the person in charge perfunctorily. He took Yu Jingxi's little fleshy hand and stood in an inconspicuous place waiting for Xu Jingyan to come over.
"How long have you been waiting?" Xu Jingyan's voice came from behind.
Bai Xiao turned around suddenly and saw him standing there with a smile. He was stunned for a moment and said, "It won't be long before you have something to tell me?"
Yu Jingxi raised her little face, her dark eyes rolling around.
Xu Jingyan touched the little guy's head and looked at Bai Xiao: "It's almost time, let's go out for lunch."
Bai Xiao didn't move and held Yu Jingxi's hand. Xu Jingyan turned around and she declined politely: "Our person in charge has already booked it, so there's no need to bother."
Xu Jingyan smiled: "Why, you don't even want to see me now?"
"..."
Bai Xiao was embarrassed by being poked into the center of things. There was Xu Shuyuan in the past and Xu Zhenning's words in the back. She really didn't want to have too much interaction with the Xu family.
"Let's go." Xu Jingyan picked up Yu Jingxi and walked in front. Bai Xiao had no choice but to follow.
After leaving the banquet hall, Xu Jingyan asked: "Where is Shao Ting? Has he had lunch? If not, call him too."
Bai Xiao was about to answer, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a scene in the rest area of the hotel lobby. Xu Zhenning was dressed in ol' attire, a lemon yellow slim suit, a white chiffon shirt, black cropped trousers, a pair of shaky high heels, her legs crossed, and she accepted
Come to the event for media interviews today.
"Zhen Ning has been living alone abroad for these years. Her personality is inevitably strong, and she doesn't care much about the feelings of others when she speaks."
Xu Jingyan suddenly spoke. Although he said it in a very casual tone, Bai Xiao could still tell that he said it to her specifically.
It's like a disguised apology.
Bai Xiao twitched her lips and said in an understatement: "I think it's not just about having a strong personality, but also about being emotionally paranoid..." To a certain person.
Xu Jingyan glanced at her and smiled without saying a word.
Yu Jingxi lay on Xu Jingyan's shoulder, looking at this and that, not quite understanding what they were saying!
——————————
While Xu Zhenning was dealing with reporters, she kept her eyes on the banquet hall, and then she saw Bai Xiao coming out next to Xu Jingyan.
Outside the banquet hall just now, although Xu Jingyan didn't say anything, his expression was very bad.
Although Xu Jingyan is said to be gentle and elegant, it does not mean that he has no temper. Xu Zhenning has never seen him angry before, and this is the first time.
Seeing Bai Xiao following Xu Jingyan with a bright smile, Xu Zhenning tightened her fingers on the documents in her hands. However, in an instant, her face relaxed. After saying a few words to the reporters, she put down the documents in her hand and stood up to face the reporters.
Xu Jingyan and the others walked over: "Dad!"
Xu Jingyan turned around, saw Xu Zhenning, and then looked at the reporter behind her: "Is the interview ready?"
"Well, I was planning to invite everyone to have a meal." Xu Zhenning smiled, not even looking at Bai Xiao who was standing aside.
Xu Jingyan nodded: "Enter well, they have worked hard today."
"Okay, don't worry." Xu Zhenning smiled.
"Let's go too." Xu Jingyan turned around and said to Bai Xiao.
Almost at the moment when Bai Xiao was about to leave, Xu Zhenning spotted a guest who was coming over in a hurry, and quietly stretched out his foot to trip him. The other person was looking down at his mobile phone. Without paying attention, he fell forward. "Be careful!" Xu Zhenning!
He exclaimed and reached out to help him.
Bai Xiao also noticed what was happening next to her, and then saw that the guest who was leaning forward suddenly changed direction and bumped towards her.
When the pain of being hit came from her elbow, it was too late for Bai Xiao to get out of the way.
The other person was relatively large. With a scream, Bai Xiao collided with that person, and they both fell to the ground.
What was even more unfortunate was that the other party held down the hem of Bai Xiao's skirt, and the area where her shoulders and armpits connected made a "hissing" sound of the fabric tearing.
Yu Jingxi, who was lying on Xu Jingyan's shoulder, witnessed the whole process of Bai Xiao's fall with his own eyes. He was so anxious that he kicked his little feet to slide down and run over.
Xu Jingyan heard the movement behind him, turned around, and heard Xu Zhenning exclaiming: "Why is there a crack in the clothes? Miss Bai, you are too careless. Why are the quality of the clothes so poor? After a little pressure, they are broken like this."
