Chapter 230: Qiaoqiao in Danger
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Orientation Party was a big deal and the popularity of the post had spread overnight.
Murong Chuan was naturally sensitive to his Little Sister’s name. When he heard a student talking about his Little Sister, he became distracted and learned that Murong Qiao was said to be useless on the forum.
When he returned to his office, he opened the forum and read the entire post. Murong Chuan frowned.
“Tell me what happened.” He found the president of the Art Club who was in charge of the gala.
As the Big Brother, Murong Chuan felt that he could not stand watching his Little Sister being criticized on the forum.
After the president saw Murong Chuan, she told him everything clearly, including the matter of Feng Xinyao going back on her word and wanting to change the program.
Murong Chuan’s brows were tightly knitted together. His usually handsome and gentle face also carried a hint of coldness. After listening to the president’s words, he also had some understanding of this matter.
He got up. “I’m aware now. You should go back.”
Murong Chuan naturally believed in his Little Sister’s strength. After hearing the president’s words, he had a rough guess. However, the most important thing now was to clarify the rumors on the forum.
He went to the school’s surveillance room and cut out the segment of Feng Xinyao and Murong Qiao’s piano compet.i.tion and placed it on the USB drive.
Not long after, this short video was posted on the forum.
“This is real skill. I wonder why some people are jealous. [Video]”
A post appeared at the top of the forum, and the students who entered clicked on it.
The dazzling technique that could be said to be artistic was directly shocking.
It was comparable to a landslide destroying the parking lot, making everyone’s minds go blank.
Is this really the Murong Qiao I know? Have my memories been tampered with??
“I was so naive before I went in. I thought that Murong Qiao was really a flower vase. Now that I’ve seen it, I have nothing to say other than the fact that she’s a national treasure.”
Only a pervert could handle Liszt’s piano piece. This, this, this, 1 suspect that she’s not human!
Where are all the people who said bad things about Murong Qiao? Open your dog eyes and take a good look at what a true expert is, okay?
This video directly crushed the rumors that were spreading.
Those words were meant to attack Murong Qiao and say that she was not skilled enough.
However, everyone had to admit defeat when they saw Murong Qiao’s complete and outstanding performance.
The rumors that Feng Xinyao had just created were broken. She had been delighted to see many people criticizing Murong Qiao under the post, but in the blink of an eye, the situation had changed.
The video of the rehearsal compet.i.tion between the two of them was posted on the forum. When Feng Xinyao saw the cover, the joy in her heart disappeared.
“Murong Qiao…” She said the name and gritted her teeth.
Feng Xinyao was still angry when she heard the dormitory door open behind her.
“Yaoyao?” It was her roommate.
Feng Xinyao took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. As she turned around, a smile appeared on her face. It was so gentle that it made people relax.
Her roommate was from the Art Club, and her name was Tang Yan. She had seen the compet.i.tion between Feng Xinyao and Murong Qiao during the rehearsal yesterday.
Although she was more biased towards Feng Xinyao as her roommate and the two of them were usually very close, Murong Qiao was indeed really strong. Even she had to say that she was good and voted for Murong Qiao wholeheartedly.
Tang Yan placed the dinner on Feng Xinyao’s table. “I brought your dinner back. Don’t be so sad.”
Ever since she lost the piano rehearsal, Feng Xinyao’s expression in the dormitory had become much more melancholic. Tang Yan liked her gentleness, so she couldn’t help but comfort her.
Feng Xinyao’s eyes turned red when she heard what she said. She could not help but hug her and cry.
“My father had already agreed to watch my finale performance…” She sobbed.
Tang Yan had a good relationship with Feng Xinyao. When she saw Feng Xinyao crying, she panicked and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her.
Tang Yan stroked her back. “Of course you’re good.”
In fact, Tang Yan had originally thought that Feng Xinyao would appear as the finale. She was an influential figure in the school and was beautiful. Everyone thought that this matter was a sure bet, a shoo-in.
In the end, the opportunity fell on Murong Qiao. Perhaps because she was biased towards Feng Xinyao, Tang Yan also felt that it was unfair.
“What should we do now? Murong Qiao took my original position. My father will be disappointed.” Feng Xinyao seemed to be heartbroken.
Her words. .h.i.t Tang Yan’s heart. Tang Yan had always wanted to be valued by her father, so she did her best to get into Hui University.
When she saw Feng Xinyao crying uncontrollably, it was as if she had seen herself in the past.
Her eyes darkened and she blurted out the words without thinking, “You won’t lose that position.”
Tang Yan’s voice drifted into Feng Xinyao’s ears. Her tone was strangely firm. At this moment, she buried her head in Tang Yan’s arms and pretended not to hear her. She continued to cry, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
A bold thought appeared in Tang Yan’s mind. It was a thought that could make Murong Qiao unable to go on stage.
In order for the Orientation Party to be held successfully, the rehearsal needed to be held at least three to four times. It was enough for her to make a move.
“That’s all for today.” The president announced a pause. “Everyone, have a good rest in the afternoon. Stay alert for tonight’s performance. Don’t fumble the ball.”
Everyone responded happily and did not look tired at all.
The party was held tonight, so after smoothing out in the morning, it could be considered to have stabilized everyone’s confidence.
“Looks like I came just in time!” Yang Xin stood at the door and waited for Murong Qiao.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Yang Xin thought that Murong Qiao didn’t have to rehea.r.s.e today and wanted to have lunch together. The timing was just right.
Murong Qiao waved at her. “Let’s go. Accompany me backstage to get my bag first.”
Her bag still contained the clothes she was going to wear tonight. She could not leave them behind.
At this moment, most of the people had left. Yang Xin and Murong Qiao took their schoolbags and came out from backstage. The building with the rehearsal was at the back, and the canteen was not far away.
Tang Yan stood on the roof and watched Murong Qiao and Yang Xin chatting happily.
Beside her feet was a vase that was wrapped in two hands. It was placed at the edge, and half of its size was exposed. It only needed a little push to fall.
Tang Yan raised her foot and gently pressed the tip of her shoe against the edge of the flower pot. She watched as the two people downstairs gradually arrived at their designated spots.
“I heard that the new chef in the canteen cooks very well…” Yang Xin was still talking excitedly.
Murong Qiao nodded from time to time. Neither of them sensed the danger that was about to approach.
A shadow so small that it was almost invisible approached from the sky. The flower pot fell from the roof. Murong Qiao was looking down at her cell phone when she saw a shadow on the ground from the corner of her eye. She immediately felt that something was wrong.
The signal of danger flashed in her mind. Murong Qiao suddenly looked up and saw the flower pot falling. According to the trajectory, it would hit Yang Xin!
“Be careful—”
The situation was critical. Murong Qiao didn’t have time to think. She reached out and pushed Yang Xin away from her original position..
