You Don't Have to Attend

The headmaster slightly straightened his sitting posture and lightly coughed.

"Please come in."

Following the principal's words, the door was opened, and a well-dressed man entered.

Even though the man's face couldn't be clearly seen, his perfect body proportion and innate aura made it hard for people to look away.

When the principal saw someone coming, he immediately jumped up from his seat.

"Why didn't you tell me about your arrival? You should have let me pick you up!"

The man didn't reply, but his gaze fleetingly moved toward Qin Ruo and Ji Lu at the side.

The principal immediately understood the meaning.

"Qin Ruo and Ji Lu, both of you should leave first. I still have something important to discuss here."

Qin Ruo's voice could not help but tremble. "O-okay."

Qin Ruo immediately identified the man as Qin Wenshen, the most famous pianist. 

Qin Wenshen was the second young master of the Qin family in the capital.

Qin Wenshen and Qin Ruo were indeed both from the Qin family. But the difference was akin to heaven and earth. They had nothing to do with each other at all. 

Qin Ruo also heard some inside information from Father Qin last night.

Qin Wenshen wanted to find out if there was anyone suitable to collaborate with him on the repertoire in the school.

This was a huge opportunity. If Qin Ruo was selected and she collaborated with Qin Wenshen, then it would be an utmost honor.

Furthermore, if Qin Ruo could win Qin Wenshen's favor in this cooperation, then she will have no worries for the rest of her life.

Qin Ruo must seize this opportunity!

But a few days ago, Qin Ruo actually heard that her sister, who couldn't play the piano at all, played 'Moonlit Night' in a restaurant.

First, the unknown medical skills. Then, there was the piano. Qin Ruo didn't know when Qin Qing learned them.

Her sister was really getting increasingly difficult to handle.

No matter what, Qin Qing must not be given any chance to shine this time.

***

During the lunch break, for some reason, the school issued a notice of piano evaluation in the school.

Every student had to do their best. 

This area in Jiangcheng was probably influenced by the local culture. As long as the family was average, the children would learn the piano. 

Despite the sudden announcement, most people did not panic at all.

Qin Qing, who was taking a nap under the shade of a tree, was suddenly awakened by a voice.

"Sister, Sister..."

Qin Qing leisurely woke up, opened her eyelids, and saw a face zooming in.

The pimples all over the place caused Qin Qing's mood to plummet even further. She was already irritated for having her sleep interrupted.

Qin Qing scowled a bit, and her tone suddenly became cold.

"Can you stay away from me? Qin Ruo, you are so unpleasing to my eyes."

The gentle smile on the corner of Qin Ruo's mouth suddenly froze in the air.

Qin Ruo's teeth were itching with hatred in her heart, but she couldn't show half of it on her face.

"Sister, I am sorry. I didn't wake you up on purpose. It's just that there is a piano evaluation in the school this afternoon. I'm afraid you don't know about it, so I want to inform you."

Qin Qing squinted at Qin Ruo impatiently. She was suspicious.

Perhaps Qin Ruo heard about Qin Qing's performance in the western restaurant. Qin Qing thought, 'She might be afraid that I might overshadow her.'

Qin Qing sneered.

"Notify me? Why? Did you forget about the poisoning incident so quickly?"

Qin Ruo apologized, "This matter is my fault. Sister, I misunderstood you. After thinking about it, I have realized that I just failed to take good care of myself…"

"Enough is enough. I don't want to hear these words. I am now aware of the announcement. You should leave."

After she finished speaking, Qin Qing wanted to continue napping for a while, but Qin Ruo refused to let her go.

"Sister, are you going then?"

Qin Qing added, "Sister, I hope that you will go. I am afraid that those people will come after you…"
