Chapter 615: The Piano Competition
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The more Old Master Pang spoke, the more agitated he got. He thought about Pang Lili’s life back in the countryside – how she was forced to work, cook and clean when she got home, how she would be beaten until she was covered in bruises if she disobeyed the people there – his heart was filled with grief. How could such a good granddaughter be treated like that? At the thought of this, Old Master Pang ordered the butler again,
“Get someone now to send all of them to Nana’s home in the countryside. Also, get the security guards to keep an eye on them!”
“Don’t let the three of them escape. Keep an eye on them and make sure that they live the life Lili lived in the countryside!”
When the butler heard this, he knew that Old Master Pang was completely enraged. He dared not delay the tasks any longer and turned to get them done. When Su Jin saw this, she knew that the matter was resolved, and Pang Lili would no longer be bullied. She comforted Pang Lili by patting her on the back before she left the Pang residence with Xi Chenxiao.
Su Jin took a shower when she got home. Just as she came out of the bathroom, she heard her phone ring. She saw that it was a call from Hou Wan’er and picked it up with a smile. It wasn’t easy to win back her best friend after her rebirth. She had tried everything to win her back. Su Jin accepted the call and said,
“Wan’er, how did you know to call me today?”
Hou Wan’er laughed when she heard Su Jin’s voice. The two of them had been at odds before this because of Su Xue and had hardly interacted. She did not know how Su Jin suddenly realized her strengths and decided to make up to her. Hou Wan’er was very willing to be with Su Jin now. This phone call was about the piano competition they spoke about. Hou Wan’er replied,
“Su Su, I’m calling to remind you that tomorrow is the piano competition. It starts at eight o’clock in the morning! Are you ready? Don’t forget, okay?”
Only when Su Jin heard this did she remember that Hou Wan’er had indeed mentioned this matter before and had also signed her up. If she didn’t call, Su Jin might have really forgotten about it. If she missed the competition, Hou Wan’er would be angry and it wouldn’t be so easy to appease her then! Su Jin toweled her hair with one hand as she replied somewhat embarrassedly,
“Sister Wan’er, if you didn’t called me, I might have really forgotten about this matter!”
Hou Wan’er was a little unhappy when she heard this. How could Su Jin forget such an important matter? They had already agreed to participate in the competition together. Moreover, the two of them were finally competing to see who was better. But Su Jin almost forgot about the competition? Fortunately, she called Su Jin to remind her. Hou Wan’er replied,
“Su Su, I heard that there are many hidden talents in this competition. There are many experts. According to insider information, even the president’s child is taking part!”
“Also, I heard that the president’s daughter is very good at piano. You have to be more serious, or you might lose in the preliminaries and that would be too embarrassing!”
When Su Jin heard this, she knew that Hou Wan’er was a little annoyed. But there was nothing she could do. There had been too much going on recently, so she almost forgot about the piano competition. Fortunately, Hou Wan’er called in time. Su Jin could picture Hou Wan’er’s unhappy face on the other end of the phone call, so she quickly said,
“I’m very serious!”
Xi Chenxiao took a towel and started drying Su Jin’s hair. Su Jin raised her head and smiled, but Xi Chenxiao suddenly kissed her on the lips. Hou Wan’er had no idea that Su Jin was canoodling and went on about the piano competition. She asked in a very serious tone over the phone,
“Really? Then, tell me, how long have you been practicing the piano every day recently?
Su Jin did not expect Xi Chenxiao to kiss her suddenly. Although they parted after the kiss, it still made Su Jin feel a little embarrassed. After all, she was still on the phone. She would be so embarrassed if Hou Wan’er heard it. Fortunately, Hou Wan’er did not hear anything and was still talking about the piano competition. Su Jin replied,
“I’ve been a bit busy recently, so I didn’t practice the piano!”
Hou Wan’er’s expression turned gloomier when she heard this. They had agreed that they would practice diligently but Su Jin hadn’t practiced at all. If Su Jin lost in the preliminaries, how would they find out who’s better? Moreover, Su Jin had almost forgotten about the piano competition. It was really detestable. Hou Wan’er said unhappily,
“What? You haven’t practiced recently, and you say you are very serious?”
