Chapter 519: Chapter 518: Are You Really Going to Cancel the Engagement?
Shen Yixin saw that he agreed and smiled as well.
“Your family mustn’t agree with canceling the engagement, right?” Shen Yixin tucked her silky black hair behind her ear and said with her eyes and eyebrows softened, “If you need, I can go explain to Uncle Ye and Auntie Ye.”
Ye Jinwen couldn’t help but give a wry smileaEUR” even at a time , she was still so gentle, thinking of him.
“Yixin, there’s no need.
You’ve already done enough.
Don’t worry, I will find a way to cure your left hand!
That’s your biggest wish, and I will make sure it comes true!”
He looked at her left hand covered by a lace glove, promising earnestly.
Shen Yixin didn’t speak, her biggest wish being that Ye Lingxi could come back to life, that they could be close friends who shared everything like before, and be each other’s child’s godmothers.
She would play Mozart’s lullabies to help a physically and mentally exhausted Xi Xi fall asleep after surgery.
Xi Xi would also skip class recklessly to be there for her performances and competitions, silently cheering her on.
Shen Yixin’s eyes stung a little as she let go of those impossible fantasies.
If Ye Lingxi were still here, perhaps there would be hope for her left hand.
But now, she held no such expectations.
Ye Jinwen noticed her somewhat dejected mood and could guess what she was thinking.
After a moment of silence, he changed the subject.
“By the way, I heard that Master Chu Kong has been hospitalized.
His concerts are now one less with each one you attend.
Don’t be too sad, if he cooperates with the hospital’s treatment, his symptoms can be alleviated.”
Shen Yixin chuckled lightly, “What Master cared about was never these things.
However, he has now found a satisfactory successor.
At the concert on the fifth day, you’ll see his newly accepted disciple.”
“Master holds high hopes for his little disciple sister.
On the fifth, if nothing unexpected happens, he should announce her as his disciple on the spot.”
Ye Jinwen nodded without much interest.
The perfect successor should have been Shen Yixin.
As they were talking, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.
Shao Yunxuan walked over from behind, somewhat cautiously.
She stood next to Shen Yixin and gave Ye Jinwen a sweet and bright smile.
Shen Yixin took the opportunity to introduce her, “Oh, this is my future little disciple sister, Shao Yunxuan.”
Ye Jinwen had never dealt with Shao Yunxuan before and saw her for the first time today, which made him realize why she had been staying at the Shen familyaEUR”it wasn’t because she was Shen Yiyao’s friend, but Shen Yixin’s little disciple sister.
Taking into account Shen Yixin’s special introduction, he said a bit more than he otherwise might have.
“Then Miss Shao must play the piano extremely well.
I remember that Master Chu Kong’s standards are very high.”
He was just making polite conversation, but it was like tossing a pebble into Shao Yunxuan’s heart, causing ripples.
Shao Yunxuan quickly waved her hands, “I’m far from reaching Master’s level.”
Ye Jinwen and Shen Yixin both paused for a moment.
It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with that statement; it just felt odd to compare oneself to a legend.
It was like a bicycle saying, “Compared to a racing car, I fall short,” that kind of feeling.
Even at her peak, Shen Yixin wouldn’t dare to compare herself to Chu Kong.
Shen Yixin, mild and forgiving by nature, said nothing.
Ye Jinwen dryly said, “Then work hard, your future is promising!”
“Thank you, Young Master Ye!
I definitely won’t disappoint you!”
“…” Ye Jinwen didn’t understand her excitement but looked at Shen Yixin and said gently, “Yixin, I’m going to head back first.
Call me if you need anything.”
After they had opened up to each other, their interactions felt as natural and relaxed as those between old friends.
Ye Jinwen drove away.
Shao Yunxuan watched his car tail with reluctance, her gaze lingering long after he had gone, only turning around sluggishly when Shen Yixin called out to her.
She even tentatively asked, “Yixin sister, are you really going to cancel the engagement with Young Master Ye?”
“Once these words are spoken, they are certainly confirmed.”
“Oh,” Shao Yunxuan watched her turning back, missing the fleeting joy in Yunxuan’s eyes as she left.
“Mhm,” Shen Yixin responded, “He does like it quite a bit.”
Shen Yixin walked ahead and glanced back at Shao Yunxuan, unaware of the sneak of happiness in Yunxuan’s eyes she had missed.
She gently advised, “Yunxuan, don’t worry about the Shen family and Yiyao’s matters for now.
Tomorrow I’ll take you to Jinjing Theater’s rehearsal.
Prepare some more today.
On the fifth, those who are coming are colleagues of Master Chu Kong and guests who have adored him for many years.
Now, you are representing the Master, so there’s no room for any negligence.”
“Okay, I’ll head back to the hotel now!”
“I’ve arranged for a driver to take you back,” Shen Yixin said thoughtfully.
“Thank you, sister Yixin.”
Shao Yunxuan, full of enthusiasm, grabbed her bag from the living room and took the Shen family’s car back to Yangfan Hotel.
Having dealt with these matters, Shen Yixin returned to the living room to find Huang Lijun and Shen Yiyao still sitting on the sofa, looking utterly despondent.
She didn’t plan to explain much more to them; after all, she had said what needed to be said.
This was a matter overseen by the Xiao family, beyond change, and further talk was futile.
Huang Lijun and Shen Yiyao just watched her ascend the stairs, deflated and speechless.
Huang Lijun had even just received a call from Father Shen, reporting that a major client, who had had a long-standing cooperation with the company, had suddenly decided not to renew their contractaEUR”resulting in an economic loss of several billion for the Shen family.
And Huang Lijun seemed to have a hunch about the reason for this turn of events.
At this point, the Shen family’s dream of climbing to the pinnacle of the wealthy elite seemed to have abruptly shattered.
Shen Yixin returned to her room, leaned against the door, and with a smile playing on her lips, sent out a private message on social media.
[Today, I finally spoke my heart.]
And the entire private message history was filled with messages sent by Shen Yixin alone.
Even without a response, she persisted.
Meanwhile, Shao Yunxuan sat in the Shen family’s chauffeured car, observing the scenery whizzing past, becoming ever more enthralled by the enchanting nighttime view of Jinjing.
She lounged lazily on the back seat, feeling as if she had transformed into a noble daughter from a prestigious family while riding in such a car.
She took out her phone, eagerly texting Fu Shuangshuang.
The last message was stalled on Fu Shuangshuang’s shocked “?”
That was the response after she told Fu Shuangshuang that morning that Lu Mian was actually the girlfriend of the Xiao family’s heir.
Being busy talking with Shen Yiyao at that time, she hadn’t managed to reply.
