Chapter 148: Teaching You How to Be a Person!
Although she couldn’t let Yu Yueyue embarrass herself in front of everyone, she could still make things difficult for her!
“Teacher, how about this? Since Yu Yueyue has ruined her dress, let’s just not let her perform. We’re doing a group dance, and having someone in a different dress would be worse than just having one less person… This way, we can at least maintain the integrity of our performance.”
At this moment, Jiang Yue spoke up.
Hearing her words, Yu Yueyue trembled all over, her face pale.
The instructor furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and said, “It can only be this way.”
“Teacher… this isn’t very fair, is it? Yu Yueyue has been rehearsing with us for two months. Not letting her perform seems a bit…” one member hesitated to speak.
“This is her own fault! She didn’t take care of her dress! Besides, if we let her perform, our program will definitely be rated lower. Is this fair to the efforts of the other members?” Jiang Yue glared at the girl and said.
“Exactly, it’s Yu Yueyue’s own mess. Why should we pay for it?”
“I agree with Sister Yue, don’t let Yu Yueyue perform!”
Several other members chimed in.
The girl lowered her head and stopped speaking.
“It’s decided then. For today’s performance, due to Yu Yueyue’s damaged costume, she won’t be allowed on stage,” the instructor said.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yueyue’s body trembled slightly, her eyes brimming with tears.
All her hard work had turned to smoke in an instant.
In the end, she didn’t even have the qualification to perform!
She had even called Brother Fang Yu over; if he didn’t see her when the program started…
Yu Yueyue’s face turned pale, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.
Seeing Yu Yueyue like this, Jiang Yue couldn’t hide her triumphant smile, even a bit too much.
This is what happens when you provoke her!
What can you do now?
No matter how hard you cry, who will pity you?
Can Fang Yu help you?
You don’t even know who ruined your dress!
What a fool!
With her goal achieved, Jiang Yue happily walked to the side and sat down.
The instructor looked at Yu Yueyue, who was standing there in a daze, sighed, and said, “Yueyue, I know you’ve been working hard in training, but with this happening, there’s nothing I can do. I can only put you in a difficult position.”
“But I promise, next year’s welcome party, I will definitely reserve a spot for you to perform.”
…
In the auditorium.
After Tang Xiaorou sat down, she didn’t have any interaction with Fang Yu.
This made Li Bingyan and Liu Pangzi feel a bit strange.
However, it wasn’t their place to pry into the couple’s affairs.
After the host took the stage to announce, the first performance quickly began.
As soon as the performer appeared, the auditorium erupted.
Xia Tinghe!
The school beauty who had just transferred not long ago, Xia Tinghe!
Xia Tinghe was dressed in a traditional Chinese-style short-sleeved outfit, her demeanor ethereal and otherworldly.
She sat gracefully in front of the guzheng, a faint smile on her face, her slender, fair fingers gliding over the strings.
This series of actions made the audience below reluctant to blink.
So beautiful.
Not just her looks, but the entire scene felt like a picturesque beauty depicted in a painting.
Tang Xiaorou glanced at Fang Yu beside her and found him staring intently at Xia Tinghe.
An inexplicable discomfort arose in her heart.
Fang Yu had heard Xia Tinghe play the guzheng before and knew her skills were quite good.
Moments later, Xia Tinghe’s delicate fingers began to pluck the guzheng, sending a melodious and enchanting tune into the ears of everyone in the auditorium.
Everyone’s hearts immediately quieted down, listening intently to the ethereal sound.
“Pingjiang Autumn Moon.”
Many people had heard this piece, but when Xia Tinghe played it on the guzheng, it had a unique flavor.
On stage, Xia Tinghe was getting into the groove, slightly raising her eyes to look at the audience below.
Just then, she locked eyes with Fang Yu.
Fang Yu smiled slightly at Xia Tinghe, showing his appreciation.
However, after two previous intimidations, Xia Tinghe only felt a psychological shadow towards Fang Yu. Seeing that smile, she not only didn’t feel warmth but instead felt a chill run down her spine!
As a result, her fingers trembled slightly, and the originally harmonious and smooth tune suddenly hit a sour note.
Many people noticed this fluctuation and looked up at Xia Tinghe.
Xia Tinghe quickly lowered her head, biting her lip, forcing herself to concentrate.
Finally, amidst a round of applause, Xia Tinghe concluded her guzheng performance.
Although there was a slight fluctuation in the middle, it didn’t detract from the overall quality; the piece remained highly complete.
“Ah, it was so beautiful. If only I could be friends with Xia Tinghe, I wouldn’t even ask to date her…”
“Be friends? Do you know how deep Xia Tinghe’s background is? Ordinary people aren’t even worthy of being her friends!”
“I declare that after tonight, Xia Tinghe is my only goddess…”
Excited discussions erupted around.
“Boss, Xia Tinghe is really something. Not only is she beautiful, but she also plays the guzheng so well. You two are a perfect match,” Li Bingyan said to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu didn’t react much, but Tang Xiaorou shot a glance at Li Bingyan.
Feeling the icy glare, Li Bingyan’s expression changed, and he quickly turned away.
As he turned, Li Bingyan saw Yu Yueyue walking out from backstage.
Yu Yueyue was still in her school uniform, wiping her tears, walking towards the audience in a daze.
“Boss, isn’t that Yu Yueyue?” Li Bingyan turned to Fang Yu and said.
Fang Yu looked at Yu Yueyue, furrowing his brows, and got up to walk over.
Li Bingyan followed closely behind.
Fang Yu approached Yu Yueyue and asked, “Yueyue, what’s wrong? Weren’t you going to change clothes and perform?”
Yu Yueyue lifted her head, looking at Fang Yu, her face full of tears, then lowered her head again, covering her face and crying.
“Yueyue, what happened? Did you encounter some difficulties? You need to tell us so we can help you,” Li Bingyan said from the side.
“I, I…” The more Yu Yueyue thought about it, the sadder she became, crying even harder.
Through her broken words, Fang Yu learned that Yu Yueyue’s performance costume had been damaged, and she couldn’t go on stage.
“Yueyue, are you sure the dress was fine before you brought it to school today?” Fang Yu asked, frowning.
“I, I checked it again at noon today, and it was fine then,” Yu Yueyue sobbed.
“Then that’s good. Come on, I’ll go with you to the backstage,” Fang Yu said, heading towards the backstage.
“Brother Fang Yu…” Yu Yueyue’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly followed.
The three of them arrived backstage, where the instructor was explaining some precautions to the remaining performers.
Jiang Yue was sitting at the makeup table, playing with her phone.
Seeing Fang Yu and the others enter, the instructor frowned and asked, “Which class are you from? This is backstage; how can you just barge in here?”
“I just want to clarify one thing; it won’t take too much time,” Fang Yu said calmly.
When Jiang Yue saw Fang Yu appear, her expression changed slightly.
Fang Yu noticed her change in demeanor.
“Jiang Yue,” Fang Yu walked up to her and said.
Jiang Yue looked up at Fang Yu, a hint of fear in her eyes.
“What do you want?”
“You should explain how Yu Yueyue’s dress got ruined, right?” Fang Yu said.
“I ruined her dress? Fang Yu, don’t slander me! I never touched Yu Yueyue’s dress; she didn’t take care of it herself!” Jiang Yue’s expression changed as she argued.
She knew Fang Yu had no evidence, so as long as she refused to admit it, she would be fine.
“It was you who ruined her dress,” Fang Yu said.
“Just because you say so? Do you have any evidence?” Jiang Yue stood up, glaring at Fang Yu.
Although she felt uncertain inside, she knew that if she didn’t act strong enough now, it would be equivalent to indirectly admitting her wrongdoing.
“This student, you must be Yu Yueyue’s friend, right? We have already concluded that the dress was damaged by her own actions. You don’t need to vent your anger on other students. I also promised Yu Yueyue that she would be compensated at next year’s welcome party…” the instructor interjected.
As soon as she spoke, the other members chimed in.
“Yeah, it’s Yu Yueyue’s own fault. Did she think she could just slander others by bringing two boys?”
“Exactly, so shameless! I was just feeling sorry for her!”
“Not reflecting on her mistakes but only causing trouble for others, how disgusting!”
Hearing these words, Yu Yueyue turned pale, reaching out to tug at Fang Yu’s arm, whispering, “Brother Fang Yu… just let it go.”
“Let it go? What do you mean let it go! They think you’re easy to bully! Do you know that?” Li Bingyan exploded in anger, glaring at the surrounding girls, saying, “Let me tell you, if you mess with Yu Yueyue, it’s like messing with the boss. Messing with the boss is like messing with me. I, Li Bingyan, am going to teach you a lesson today!”
