While Ye Nanshen was still in a daze, Rong Qi had already pushed the car door open and stepped out.
Xu Yi was worried and quickly followed Rong Qi out of the car.
By the time the car door slammed shut, Ye Nanshen finally regained his senses. He looked at Rong Qi’s figure as she walked away, holding up her skirt, and his fingers tightened.
“I don’t have time. Gu Ziyue will go,” said Ye Nanshen. His voice was cold and his face sharp with remnants of a storm.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed hurt, and even her voice carried a hint of self-mockery. She said, “Nanshen, you never used to talk to me like this before.”
There was a pause, and no response was heard from Ye Nanshen. The woman’s voice sounded somewhat frustrated, “Is it too much to ask you to come to pick me up? I didn’t tell Ziyue that I’ll be waiting for you at the airport.”
After that, the phone was quickly disconnected, as if she was afraid of hearing rejection.
Ye Nanshen furrowed his brows and took out a box of cigarettes from his bag, lighting one with a snap. As the smoke rose, his heart calmed down a bit.
“Call Gu Ziyue and tell him that Miss Gu will be returning today, ask him to go and pick her up.”
After saying that, Ye Nanshen put on a mask and got out of the car.
It was nine o’clock. When Rong Qi entered the auditorium again, the opening ceremony of the freshman assembly had already concluded, and the host was giving a speech.
On stage and off stage, everything was harmonious, and no one noticed the absence of Rong Qi. Her lips curved up slightly, and she found an inconspicuous spot to wait.
Rong Feiyu’s piano performance was the first one. As soon as she appeared on stage, cheers erupted from below.
Rong Feiyu gently bowed to the audience below and sat at the piano, playing the keys gracefully.
With Rong Feiyu’s proficiency in the piano at the ABRSM Grade 8 level, the music she played was ethereal and elegant, with a light, sorrowful undertone. The audience was stunned by her performance.
Even the academic staff sitting below had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
As Rong Feiyu played, the audience broke into applause several times, and the compliments from the audience were self-evident.
“Mr. Rong, your daughter is truly exceptional! Having such talent is a credit to our Capital University!” even Qiu Yonggen could not help but praise.
Rong Feiyu’s outstanding performance brought glory to Rong Tianshi’s face. He was very satisfied and immediately rewarded Rong Feiyu with a hundred thousand yuan after she stepped down from the stage.
Rong Feiyu was both surprised and pleased. Her gaze swept around the hall, but she did not see Rong Qi’s figure, and she could not help but feel puzzled and disappointed.
At times like this, Rong Feiyu thought she should have made Rong Qi watch as she was the one attracting all the attention.
However, Rong Feiyu quickly figured it out, ‘Perhaps Rong Qi didn’t have any talent and was too afraid to come, which was why she hadn’t shown up. But it could also be because of something else…’
Thinking about that, a gloating smile appeared on Rong Feiyu’s face.
Rong Feiyu held onto Rong Tianshi’s arm, displaying filial piety in front of others, and said, “Daddy, the third performance should be Qi’s turn, but why hasn’t she come?”
Mentioning Rong Qi, Rong Tianshi thought of the trouble he had with Feng Kui.
Rong Tianshi snorted coldly, “Who cares where she went? She would only embarrass herself if she appeared. I only have you as my daughter, don’t know who this Rong Qi is!”
After that, he looked at Su Yifan, his face full of anger, and said, “Go, strike off Rong Qi’s name.. What does she know about playing the violin? She shouldn’t appear from the beginning other than to embarrass herself on stage later!”
