Chapter 49 -49: Face Slap, International Champion

Otherwise, Jiang Fanyue’s frequent contacts with Master Yue would have been criticized long ago.

But he still had the courage to admit this point and humbly apologized.

This made Master Yue and people like Liang Jinlan feel very uncomfortable.

“But…” Fa Pinglun’s tone shifted, “to say that there is some sort of power-and-sex trade going on between us just because of this is complete nonsense! I’ve been seeking out Jiang Zhe, not just once or twice. As a professor at Beijing Music University, when I come to Jiang Zhe to play a few teaching pieces, I am acting on behalf of the school’s mission!”

“What, seek Jiang Zhe to play teaching pieces?” The crowd below immediately became noisy.

Teaching pieces are standard piano scores used for students to practice and refer to as examples; only performances by very prestigious and authoritative masters can be used as teaching pieces and become materials for classroom teaching.

Every year, the music academy would seek out highly talented and renowned young individuals to record teaching pieces for students to use as references.

“Why seek Jiang Zhe? What exactly is going on?”

“Hasn’t Jiang Zhe stopped practicing piano long ago?”

“I heard she didn’t even participate in the competition four years ago!”

Fa Pinglun continued, “There’s nothing to be puzzled about. Jiang Zhe won the championship in the youth category of an international piano competition early on, and later even served as a judge. It’s not only the school’s arrangement to have her record teaching pieces, but also something that I am very happy to do!”

The whole audience was again in an uproar, Jiang Zhe had actually won the championship at an international piano competition!

When did this happen, and why did no one know about it!

Quickly, some people started to research, and with the clues provided by Fa Pinglun, indeed, they found that eight years ago, a contestant from Dragon Emperor Country had won the youth category at an international piano competition!

The name was indeed J.Zhe.

Because there were no photos and no extensive promotion, no one had made the connection with Jiang Zhe herself.

But that name was the best footnote!

Qin Jingchen’s gaze fell on Jiang Zhe, recalling the fingers that had been in his palm a moment ago, slender and delicate.

He had thought at that time those hands were perfectly suited for playing the piano.

Turned out, she really could play.

Fa Pinglun said, “There was no recording of that competition, and the remaining footage is incomplete. Jiang Zhe has left very few recordings of her playing. The several times I came over, I was discussing serious matters and brought official letters from the school. Ladies and gentlemen, if having a meal or meeting someone can be spoken of so harshly, may I ask if it is the remnants of feudalism that once bound our ancestors’ feet that are binding the minds of certain individuals today?”

His words provoked laughter from the entire hall.

Bai Yilian felt her legs go weak. Without Fa Pinglun saying another word, each was like another slap to her face.

Jiang Fanyue incredulously looked at Jiang Zhe… She had actually taken part in an international competition, why did she have no idea?

Why didn’t Jiang Zhe take her along?

Eight years ago, how old was she? Just ten years old, how could she have gone abroad?

If she had taken her, could she also have brought back a title?

All this happening on the scene had already been captured on video by Fen Ye, who also made text records and directly posted a clarification on social media.

On social media, all of this was pinned to the top!

The recent fermentation of suspicion and abuse towards Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng had all been quelled with these top-pinned explanations.

Netizens only needed to look it up a bit to know who Fa Pinglun and Zhou Ruzhi were, and with a little more research, they could confirm that what he said was true.

The wind changed direction, and internet users’ anger focused on Bai Yilian, with all guns pointed at her, unleashing a barrage of nasty and disgusting words toward her name.

Amidst these voices, Fen Ye, following Qin Jingchen’s instructions, gradually extracted Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng, silently pulling them out of the public’s sight.

Onstage.

Jiang Zhe addressed Bai Yilian, his tone calm yet laced with the ferocity of a blizzard, “Bai Yilian, are you satisfied with the outcome now?”

Bai Yilian had clenched her palms so tightly that they were bleeding. Biting her lip, she knew everything was over for her.

“Can I, I apologize to you, to all of you; will that work?” she attempted her last resort.

“You can apologize.”

Bai Yilian was overjoyed, but Jiang Zhe hadn’t finished, “However, I’ve said that I will not accept apologies. Are apologies of any use for harm that’s already been done?”

Despair throttled the hope that had risen in Bai Yilian’s eyes.

Feeling helpless, she looked around at the others; Director Han shook his head in disappointment, and Jiang Fanyue’s gaze also dodged.

Bai Yilian realized that this matter couldn’t be separated from Jiang Fanyue, but from beginning to end, Jiang Fanyue had neither said nor done anything to her!

Even if she wanted to blame someone, she couldn’t pin it on Jiang Fanyue!

“Jiang Fanyue, you’re ruthless! It was you who led me to find out that Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng had met with the two professors…” she pointed at Jiang Fanyue, “yet you left no evidence, and now, when trouble arises, I’m the only one who suffers…”

Everyone looked at Jiang Fanyue.

Jiang Fanyue knew she couldn’t escape responsibility and had to speak, “Yes, I did find out about it, but I was only concerned about Jiang Zhe out of worry. However, I didn’t use this matter for anything, nor did I incite you to do anything, right? I never discussed anything with you, did I?”

Jiang Fanyue had managed this affair flawlessly, leaving Bai Yilian with nothing to say.

But Master Yue looked at Jiang Fanyue one more time.

“Master Yue, Fanyue isn’t that kind of person; she would never do such a thing,” Liang Jinlan immediately explained.

Even if Jiang Fanyue took an interest in Jiang Zhe’s affairs, it was out of goodwill; what was wrong with that?

Master Yue said indifferently, “I understand. Let’s talk about the future when it comes.”

Both Liang Jinlan and Jiang Fanyue felt a jolt in their hearts; ‘let’s talk about the future’ was an ominous sign.

Clearly, Master Yue had been affected by tonight’s events.

Liang Jinlan found herself without recourse, wanting to speak with Gu Jiaheng, but for some reason, Gu Jiaheng was nowhere to be found all evening.

At that moment, Mrs. Jian approached her, whispering, “Mrs. Jiang, let me handle this.”

Liang Jinlan was stunned, then as if understanding her meaning, she became a bit clearer.

Mrs. Jian stepped forward; although this matter originally had nothing to do with her, she knew she had to intervene tonight.

Only by stepping in could she ensure Xiao Meng gave up her position for Jiang Fanyue, allowing the Jiang Family to owe her a favor, with which she could secure the interests that the Jian Family deserved.

There couldn’t be a better opportunity than this.

After all, Xiao Meng had nothing, and her cohort, Jiang Zhe, was nothing more than a student—what power did they have to resist?

Mrs. Jian stood out, her tone solemn and serious, “I have a few words to say. Indeed, it’s about Xiao Meng’s character.”
