Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Autistic Piano Girl VS Part-Time Tutor (9) Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Autistic Piano Girl VS Part-Time Tutor (9) Since he had saved his nephew, Tang Zhongyi couldn’t just directly drive away Xiao Qian’s lifesaver.
Tang Zhongqing had the butler take Yang Huiying to Xiao Qian’s room, then hurriedly left after taking a phone call himself.
Tang Zhongyi stepped in front of Yang Huiying, “You saved Xiao Qian, so I won’t hold the past against you anymore. Just remember, don’t get close to Zhaozhao again.”
He left with Ning Zhao, and Yang Huiying stood there, simmering with resentment.
Yang Huiying was sweet-tongued and, having saved Tang Qian, naturally gained his favor easily.
She noticed that her daily visits to the Tang Residence, the days when she encountered the Tang family head and Ning Zhao, were very few.
Actually, it was quite normal. Father Tang and the two brothers of the Tang family had to go to the company every day, and Mother Tang had her own career outside too. Besides, they wouldn’t specifically make time for a tutor.
Ning Zhao, even more so, besides his piano practice time in the morning and his regular afternoon walks, hardly went out if not accompanied.
One day, unable to help herself, she secretly asked Tang Qian, “Xiao Qian, in your family, there is a girl who likes to wear white dresses, very pretty and not talkative. Is she a miss from the Tang family?”
Tang Qian blinked his eyes, “You mean Auntie Zhaozhao, right?” Actually, he preferred to call her Sister Zhaozhao, but his little uncle didn’t let him.
Yang Huiying nodded after she heard Tang Zhongyi refer to Gu Shengyin like that.
Tang Qian said, “Auntie Zhaozhao is not one of our family. Grandma says that Auntie Zhaozhao is very pitiable. Her mom and dad are both gone, so grandpa and grandma brought her to live in our house…”
Suddenly, he covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to Yang Huiying, “Dad told me not to tell other people, especially not Auntie Zhaozhao. She absolutely must not know. Teacher Yang, you have to keep this a secret for me.”
Yang Huiying nodded, “Of course, I won’t tell anyone.”
But inside, she scorned the idea: So this girl was just someone living under another’s roof, yet she was putting on airs like a young miss.
Thinking back to Ning Zhao’s demeanor that day, an idea struck her; it seemed—it seemed like she might not be able to speak?
Looking at the innocent Tang Qian, she softly and persuasively said, “I had a small misunderstanding with your Auntie Zhaozhao before, and I want to apologize to her. But it seems your Auntie Zhaozhao doesn’t really pay attention to me and isn’t willing to talk to me either.”
Tang Qian liked Gu Shengyin, this very pretty auntie, very much and, worried that Yang Huiying had misunderstood her, quickly said, “Teacher Yang, don’t blame Auntie Zhaozhao. Auntie Zhaozhao never talks in our house either. Dad says that when she was born, God forgot to open a window for her, so Sister Zhaozhao doesn’t like talking to others, preferring to be by herself.”
After thinking a bit more, he added, “But Sister Zhaozhao plays the piano very well. It’s a shame she can’t teach me.”
Seeing Yang Huiying silent, little Tang Qian thought Teacher Yang might be unhappy because of what he said and hurriedly said, “Teacher Yang plays the piano very well too. I really like it.”
Yang Huiying came back to her senses and smiled, “Teacher Yang isn’t upset with Xiao Qian. So Xiao Qian, let’s keep our conversation today as a little secret between us two, and we won’t tell anyone else, okay?”
Little Tang Qian nodded heavily.
By now, Yang Huiying had her suspicions confirmed; according to Tang Qian, this girl called Zhaozhao was clearly autistic.
It is said that people with autism have various quirks and sharp personalities—it was no wonder Tang Zhongyi was so anxious then.
With this thought, her resentment toward Tang Zhongyi actually dissipated.
