Chapter 656: Celebratory Banquet
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
Sensing that something was wrong with President Tan’s expression, the teacher couldn’t help but ask, “President Tan, are you okay?”
“It’s fine, I’m fine,” he answered bitterly, sighing. “I just need a minute.”
On the other side of the building, Yao Yuan, Qin Man, and Master Zhang were waiting outside of the auditorium. As soon as they saw Yao Ran running out, they immediately came to greet her.
Qin Man held onto her hand. “Ranran, shall we celebrate?” she said proudly. “I’ve always known you were a strong performer. It seems that I don’t have to worry at all.”
“Yes, she’s always been very diligent. You shouldn’t have worried,” Yao Yuan stated.
“Yes, I shouldn’t have doubted her.”
Just now, Master Zhang received the assessment result that had been released by the Association. Shanna Orchestra got a B, and as this was her first time participating in the assessment, she passed.
Qin Man and Yao Yuanwere proud.
This was definitely a step forward. As long as she passed the next two assessments, then she’d be able to enter the Music Association.
However, what they didn’t notice was Yao Ran’s dark look.
Master Zhang clasped her on the shoulder. “Ranran, continue to work even harder,” he encouraged. “I’m sure you’ll be able to enter the Music Association.”
Seeing the happy looks on their faces, Yao Ran had to force a smile. She couldn’t find it in herself to say that she had failed.
At this point, it was best not to talk about it.
This matter would have to wait.
Yao Yuan laughed. “Master Zhang, you’re the reason why Ranranhas been able to get to where she is today. She wouldn’t be anywhere without you,” he said. “Come, I’ve already prepared a celebratory banquet for Ranran. You must attend.”
“Of course.” Master Zhang nodded with a smile. “I’ll definitely make it.”
However, just then, she heard a whistle from afar.
“Hey, isn’t that Miss Yao Ran? The girl who failed? Is your family celebrating your failure? In fact, shouldn’t this celebratory banquet of yours be called a…consolation banquet?”
As soon as she said this, Yao Ran stiffened.
She turned abruptly to see Meng Yang standing by her side. Beside him were Yan Yuand the other students from Class 20. He was probably already informed of the news.
It seemed that they all came to mock her.
They even wanted to do it by mocking her in front of her family!
After hearing Meng Yang’s words, Qin Man shot him a glare. “What are you talking about?” she demanded. “Our Ranran’s Shanna Orchestrahas been given a B. She obviously passed! What are you talking about?”
Yao Ran’s expression changed almost immediately. “Mom, let’s go,” she said hurriedly. “We don’t need to waste any more time with them.”
If she could take her away, maybe they could stop probing any further.
They mustn’t say it in front of such a large group of people.
This would be too embarrassing.
If Qin Man knew the truth, she wouldn’t have the face to confront anyone.
Ever since what had with Yang Nian, she was being ridiculed in school.
If she were to be spotted by others now, she wouldn’t know how to face them.
No!
She needed to leave!
Yao Ran took a deep breath. Qin Manmustn’t know.
She shot her classmates a pleading look. “We’re all classmates,” she whispered. “Do you really have to do this?”
Seeing Yao Ran’s pale face and hearing her pleading tone, the people from Class 20 simply shrugged. Meng Yan suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. Why did he have to bother?
At this point, doing problems in the classroom was far more interesting than talking to her.
Meng Yang glanced at her and was about to leave. The students from Class 20 soon followed.
Then, Qin Man opened her mouth.
“What do you mean? Are you just going to leave it like that?”
