Huo Jincheng hasn’t really taken any action, but, teacher?
Bertrand let go of Lu Xingzhi, his face full of smiles as he said, "Little Angel, I’ve come to Hua Country specifically to find you this time. Didn’t you promise to come to France to find me?"
"I’m very sorry, teacher. I broke my promise." Lu Xingzhi said ashamedly.
"Did something happen? By the way, where’s your father?" Bertrand looked around, but only noticed Lu Xingzhi, Si Jincheng was not there.
"My father passed away when I was twelve." Lu Xingzhi lowered her gaze, her voice noticeably softer when she mentioned this.
"Oh! My god! How did this happen? Why wasn’t I informed?"
"I’m very sorry, teacher, I’ll tell you about it later!" Lu Xingzhi didn’t want to be watched by everyone , she wasn’t the main character here, and didn’t want to mess up the nice party.
Shen Xinzhu had just come over with Bertrand, and when he hugged Lu Xingzhi, she showed an incredulous expression.
What is the relationship between Bertrand and Lu Xingzhi?
Unfortunately, she didn’t understand French and didn’t know what they were saying.
So she asked Helian Yi beside her, "Little Yi, what did they say?"
While Shen Xinzhu was incredulous, Helian Yi was truly shocked, and felt a sort of being slapped in the face.
Slapped twice, actually.
He remembered a time when he visited Huo Jincheng’s home and mocked Lu Xingzhi for pretending to show off by reading an all-French book.
Now hearing Lu Xingzhi speak such standard, fluent French, he felt a slap mark forming on his face.
And then, hearing the content of their conversation.
The slap stung even more.
Back then, what did Lu Xingzhi say, she said she was Bertrand’s student.
He had ridiculed her at that time, right?
If possible, could he somehow take back those words?
Like editing a video.
Because his face really hurt.
"Little Yi, what are you thinking? Do you know what they are saying?" Shen Xinzhu didn’t get a response from Helian Yi, so she asked again.
"Sister Xinzhi, Bertrand came this time specifically to find Lu Xingzhi. Because Lu Xingzhi is his student, just now Lu Xingzhi also called him teacher." Helian Yi didn’t want to tell Shen Xinzhu the cruel fact.
Because she had always dreamed of becoming Bertrand’s student.
Last time, she even skipped his concert to go to France.
And then, let Lu Xingzhi shine brightly.
Now, the thing she had exhausted every effort to attain, Lu Xingzhi had effortlessly already possessed it.
"What did you say? Little Yi, say it again?" Shen Xinzhu’s face instantly turned pale, how could this be. "This is impossible. Do you know what Bertrand said when I went to talk to him just now? He said he only has one student and will only ever have just that one student in his life."
Shen Xinzhu took a few steps back, almost falling, luckily Helian Yi caught her.
"How old is Lu Xingzhi, isn’t she just a country bumpkin? Isn’t she just a peasant girl? How could she know Bertrand." Shen Xinzhu was already teetering, the sense of imbalance almost caused her heart to stop.
"Sister Xinzhi..." Helian Yi didn’t feel much when he himself talked about Lu Xingzhi, but hearing someone else say this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Shen Xinzhu so distressed, he held back from saying anything.
