“There’s still an empty seat next to Liang Luoyu for you. Don’t occupy another student’s spot!”

Mu Bei raised his head to look at his side. Indeed, a little girl was looking at him awkwardly, as if she wanted to say something but did not dare to.

Mu Bei immediately stood up and apologized to the little girl. Then he quickly walked over to the first row and sat down beside Liang Luoyu.

“What kind of god-like appearance is this? It’s fine if there’s only one, but there are actually three of them at the same time, each with their own style. Isn’t this too eye-catching?”

“I think these three handsome guys are more attractive than piano masters. I’m a country bumpkin. I like handsome guys, not piano masters!”

A girl’s words made many people chuckle. They actually had the same feeling. They had never played the piano and did not understand the piano at all. They felt that handsome men were more attractive.

“You guys are happy to see the handsome guy, but do you know that we’re all heartbroken? The man in the black shirt is Wen Xin’s boyfriend. The man of my dreams actually has a girlfriend. I’m heartbroken!”

Mu Chengxi heard a wail from behind him. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. It seemed that he had achieved his goal. He reckoned that no one would ever confess to Wen Xin again in the future, and he would not be frustrated by receiving love letters.

Madam Zhao, who had just been attacked by both Mu Chengxi and Liang Luoyu, was unusually silent. She sat in the second row. When she looked up, she could see Mu Chengxi talking to the principal. She felt depressed.

“Madam Zhao, isn’t that your son? Didn’t you say that your Young Master Zhao had to go back to school today and couldn’t come?”

The few ladies sitting together looked in the direction of the entrance of the hall at the same time and saw Zhao Yuzheng walk in with a girl.

Madam Zhao was very nervous when she saw the two people walking in. She did not expect Yuzheng to bring Yan Yan over.

One had to know that there had been rumors in Ice City recently that the Zhao family wanted to abandon the Geng family and marry the Yan family. Doesn’t Zhao Yuzheng know how to avoid suspicion?

“Look, what’s going on? Didn’t Geng Jiao Qiu that Senior Zhao Yuzheng was her fiancé? Why is there a girl beside him?”

“Isn’t this too strange? Could it be that Geng Qiu had not even married into a wealthy family yet and already dealing with a mistress? Are all wealthy families so melodramatic?”

” It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful. Look, doesn’t this look like a CEO bringing his lover to a banquet and accidently bumping into his wife and his mother? Hahaha, even television dramas aren’t like this!”

A female student sitting in the back row whispered excitedly. She seemed to have found the joy of watching the show.

“Sigh, there’s no point in marrying into a rich family. If you ask me, Wen Xin is still the best. Be your own queen. That kind of high-quality man will take the initiative to send himself to you!”

“You’re right. Now I understand why Wen Xin was indifferent when Geng Qiu was showing off Zhao Yuzheng. It turns out that her boyfriend is more outstanding! That extraordinary man—I guess I’ll only encounter someone like him once in my lifetime!”

Among the students in the back row, not many were anticipating the appearance of the piano master. They found the current drama in front more captivating, especially in this tense atmosphere, making them eager to see how the storyline would unfold.

Zhao Yuzheng naturally sat down beside Geng Qiu, while Yan Yan was very tactful. She sat down in a corner and completely ignored Zhao Yuzheng, who had entered the arena with her. She knew very well that even if she wanted to snatch Zhao Yuzheng away, now was not the time.

Mrs. Zhao watched Yan Yan’s actions and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. She never restrained Zhao Yuzheng’s right to make friends, believing that if someone liked her son, it was a testament to his charm.

Unlike Zhao Yuyao, who was brawny and simple-minded—he didn’t even know what he wanted to do and hung out with Wen Xin every day.

“Son, didn’t you say you didn’t have time to come today?” Mrs. Zhao spoke across Geng Qiu and Zhao Yuzheng, occasionally glancing at Geng Qiu with a gentle smile.

“I have an evening flight, but there’s still time. I came to see it. After all, it’s the piano master invited by Qiu Qiu. I must come to show my support!” While speaking, Zhao Yuzheng reached under the table and held Geng Qiu’s hand, giving her a gentle squeeze, conveying a hint of trying to please Geng Qiu.

Geng Qiu responded with a sweet smile to Zhao Yuzheng and said, “Thank you, Brother Yuzheng!”

At this moment, Geng Qiu’s previous frustration dissipated, and she couldn’t help but glance at Yan Yan sitting in the corner. The sense of crisis in her heart slowly faded away.

Zhao Yuyao walked past Wen Huai and gently poked Wen Xin’s shoulder with his finger. Wen Xin’s gaze was on Yan Yan, who was in the corner, as if she was thinking about something.

“Little Aunt, what are you looking at? Do you also feel that Yan Yan is a little pitiful?”

“What’s there to be pitiful about? Why would such an outstanding young lady worry about not being able to meet a good man? Your brother is not worthy of her.” Wen Huai said coldly. He hated fickle men like Zhao Yuzheng the most.

Wen Huai’s voice was not loud, but everyone nearby could hear it. Those people looked up in Wen Huai’s direction, and even Yuzheng looked over.

Zhao Yuzheng’s gaze landed on Wen Xin. At that moment, Wen Xin did not have the lazy and careless feeling from before. Her black and bright eyes seemed to be looking at something, and her entire person was cold and wild, causing Zhao Yuzheng’s heart to tremble. He was wondering why he had not noticed anything special about Wen Xin before.

She was simply too beautiful, so beautiful that he regretted his choice back then. If he had chosen to agree to be with Wen Xin, would it be…

“Brother Yuzheng, what are you looking at? My teacher is here!” Geng Qiu noticed that Zhao Yuzheng was distracted and gently patted his arm.

Vice-principal Li was wearing a formal suit today. He was dressed very exquisitely, and his students had never seen him like that before.

When Vice Principal Li appeared on the podium, there was a burst of laughter below. He was too formal, so much so that the students were a little uncomfortable.

“This Vice-principal Li’s outfit is really amazing. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort for this public lecture! I wonder if the school will reimburse him for this outfit.” Qin Ling looked at Vice-principal Li’s outfit and laughed while teasing him.

“What do you know? Vice-principal Li specially dressed up like this today. Have you heard that Vice-principal Li’s daughter has been learning piano? She also hopes to get Master Lapor’s personal attention today. This is all for a purpose!”

On the side, a girl who knew the inside story spoke softly, expressing surprise at Vice Principal Li’s decision to have his daughter personally attend to Lapor, without involving Geng Qiu. Such actions seemed quite obvious.

“Really? Can it be like that? That’s quite cunning. If that’s the case, it seems

Geng Qiu has also been manipulated by Vice Principal Li..”
