Chapter 88 - Winning the First Place

As soon as she said this, not only was there a deafening cheer from below the stage, even the students of Class Eight standing on the stage could not help but start muttering.

“Wow, Sister Mo is too domineering. I didn’t expect Sister Mo to not only be able to play games well, but she is also able to play the piano well. It’s really unexpected!”

“Sister Mo is so cool. Sister Mo is forever a god in my heart!”

At this moment, the staff member who was responsible for organizing the scores had already handed the tabulated score to the host.

Clearing her throat, the host mysteriously opened the folded note and looked at Class Eight’s final score with an unfathomable expression. Then, she revealed an expression that showed that the scores were ‘as expected’ and began to announce it.

“Alright, now that the average score of the judges has been calculated and handed to me by the staff, I believe that everyone is looking forward to the results of Class Eight of Year Three. Will such a stunning performance be able to break Class One score of 9.8?”

Looking around, the host had whetted the audience’s appetite. Then, no longer hesitating, she shouted out the scores of Class Eight.

“Let us congratulate Class Eight of Year Three for getting the perfect score that has never been seen before in the singing competition!”

When the students in Class Eight heard this, they were so happy they cheered and danced with joy.

Mo Zhu stood silently at the side as if she had expected it. Through the faint light revealed behind the curtains, she turned around and saw Li Xiao standing quietly in the corner.

The man’s eyes were red and watery. When he saw Mo Zhu looking at him, he smiled at the girl and wiped his face before leaving in a hurry.

Soon after, the students of Class Eight began to leave the stage one after another.

When they walked out of the auditorium from backstage, Meng Ran grabbed Mo Zhu’s hand and said excitedly, “Sister Mo, Sister Mo, when did you learn the piano secretly? I didn’t expect that today’s unexpected accident would accidentally reveal your skills!”

Mo Zhu pulled the girl away from her and frowned at Meng Ran. “It’s not an unexpected accident.”

Jiang Xun, who was following closely behind the two of them, also heard Mo Zhu’s words. He quickly took two steps to the girl and said, “Sister Mo, what do you mean by this? If it wasn’t an unexpected accident, did someone set us up intentionally?”

“It’s hard to say. I don’t have evidence yet, but my intuition tells me that this matter had taken place too coincidentally.” Mo Zhu rubbed her knuckles coldly.

As the three of them spoke, the others of Class Eight walked towards Mo Zhu under Tian Rou’s lead. When they arrived in front of Mo Zhu, Tian Rou took the initiative to speak. “Mo Zhu, it’s all thanks to you that we were able to achieve such good results in the performance this time. Thank you for your efforts for Class Eight.”

“Thank you, Sister Mo!” The other students behind Tian Rou also spoke in unison and gave Mo Zhu a deep bow.

Mo Zhu waved her hand and nodded lightly. “It’s a small matter. You don’t have to take it to heart. I’m also a member of Class Eight. This is all part of my job.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu took out her phone from her pocket and looked at the time. She turned her head and said to Meng Ran, “I have something to deal with. I’ll leave first. Xiao Ran, help me inform Teacher Li that I’m going back first.”

After Mo Zhu left, the students of Class Eight returned to the auditorium in an orderly manner to watch the next few performances. After all the classes had finished performing, the host returned to the stage and began to announce the overall ranking for the day.

As expected, Class Eight had received first place in the competition with full marks. As the form teacher and the teacher-in-charge of Class Eight’s performance, it was well deserved for Li Xiao to go on stage and receive the award on behalf of his students.

Yang Rong watched as Li Xiao held the banner and trophy that the sponsor had specially made for the first position. She stood beside the man and gritted her teeth.

It was all that damned Mo Zhu’s fault. If not for her, their class would have definitely won the competition tonight!

Fang Ran was just as angry as Yang Rong. As a student who had learned and practiced piano for more than ten years, she naturally understood how professional Mo Zhu’s skills were. She did not expect this country bumpkin sister to have secretly learned the piano behind her and Qin Ya’s backs!

Fang Ran hid in the crowd, her eyes filled with ruthlessness. She smiled coldly and said, “You’re lucky this time. We’ll see what happens next!”

In the study room of the Huo Family.

Xu Huan was sitting on a soft couch as he browsed the online streams nearby on his tablet in boredom. Suddenly, as if he had seen something interesting, he excitedly handed the tablet to Huo Xuan, who was signing some documents.

“Brother Huo, come over and take a look. Isn’t this person sister-in-law? Why does she look so much like her?”

Following Xu Huan’s words, Huo Xuan retracted his gaze from the table and took the tablet from him. The man instantly recognized the girl sitting quietly on the piano bench on one side of the huge stage. Looking at her exquisite appearance and her elegant yet domineering sitting posture, who else could it be but Mo Zhu?

Huo Xuan looked at the live broadcast on the screen and asked curiously, “What’s this performance? Is Xiao Zhu on a show?”

Xu Huan moved his body slightly and leaned over to Huo Xuan. He lowered his head and continued to watch the live-stream. “No, there seems to be a singing competition at Jingyang High School today. Little Bamboo was the piano accompaniment for her class’ performance.”
