Guo Yuan said, “Nothing much. Tian Guo can play with whoever she wants to play with. I’m not her mother, so it’s none of my business. But she’s my classmate after all… Tian Guo, what good will you get if you play with Jiang Yu?”
Tian Guo had always been ridiculed by Guo Yuan, so she was already used to it. However, if Guo Yuan said bad things about Jiang Yu, she would not be able to tolerate it.
She said, “Jiang Yu is very outstanding! I can learn a lot from her!”
“Really?” Guo Yuan had never seen Tian Guo like this before, so she could not help but be interested. She said, “Tian Guo, this is the first time you dare to talk to me like this.”
Dai Zhu hated this kind of eccentric person the most in her life. She said, “Who are you? Do you think that you can say such things just because you are Tian Guo’s classmate?”
Guo Yuan laughed loudly and said, “My mouth is my own. Of course, I can say whatever I want to say! It’s none of your business!”
Dai Zhu said, “You!”
Guo Yuan then looked at Jiang Yu and said, “Jiang Yu, you’re not really going to participate in the International Piano Competition, are you?”
Jiang Yu laughed and said, “Do you have a problem with that?”
Although Jiang Yu said this with a smile, Guo Yuan could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Guo Yuan’s face turned a little red with anger, “What’s wrong?” Said Jiang Yu. “The school’s preliminaries are clearly stated that students from the music department are to be selected to participate in the competition. What’s the point of a performance department student like you joining in the fun?”
Jiang Yu shrugged and said, “You have to ask Professor Bai about this.”
Guo Yuan sneered, “Do you think that we won’t dare to say it because Professor Bai has your back? Jiang Yu, we just doubt your strength and think that you’re embarrassing our school by participating in the competition! What’s the matter? Do you have any objections?”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Of course I don’t have any objections. It’s a good thing that someone has doubts about my strength. I can only grow better with other people’s doubts.”
“You?” Guo Yuan thought that her words would make Jiang Yu angry out of embarrassment. Her people were already prepared to capture the scene of Jiang Yu getting angry.
But she didn’t expect that not only did Jiang Yu not get angry, she even stopped herself from saying those words.
Guo Yuan calmed herself down and said, “Alright. Jiang Yu, you better remember what you said today. Aren’t you going to grow up? Alright, I want to see how you will look like!”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Then, please look forward to it.”
As she said that, Jiang Yu left with the other three people.
Although Tian Guo also hated Guo Yuan, she was still her classmate after all. She had angered Jiang Yu but refused to apologize. Tian Guo was worried that Jiang Yu would be in a bad mood because of this and would delay the competition for a week. Therefore, she wanted to apologize on behalf of Guo Yuan. She hoped that Jiang Yu would not be annoyed by this matter.
Therefore, she said, “Jiang Yu, Guo Yuan is that kind of person. You must not take it to heart. If you are angry, I will apologize to you on her behalf.”
Jiang Yu patted her shoulder, “I’m not angry,” she said. “Didn’t I just say that it’s a good thing for someone to question my strength? I’ll grow because of it. Proper pressure will turn into motivation, so don’t worry, Tian Guo, and don’t apologize to me on Guo Yuan’s behalf. She’s the one who did something wrong, not you, so don’t feel burdened.”
Tian Guo smiled and said, “Alright.”
Dai Zhu said, “I wanted to scold her just now. Tian Guo, are all the students in your class like that?”
Tian Guo hurriedly said, “No! It’s just that Guo Yuan is a little complacent because someone likes her.”
Dai Zhu sighed and said, “I think so too. There were a few boys following behind Guo Yuan just now. Are they her suitors?”
Tian Guo nodded and said, “Yes.”
