The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 450: Chapter 449 Mr.

Chu Kong Has a Taboo Chapter 450: Chapter 449 Mr.

Chu Kong Has a Taboo The word “moderation” wasn’t a compliment in her context.

The more she spoke, the less satisfied she became, and the more she despised her family background.

Weng Xia consoled her, “All right, my precious daughter, don’t worry.

I’ll talk more with your dad about it.”

She didn’t want to miss out on clinging to Han Jin’s coattails either.

Only then did Fu Shuangshuang nod, “Mom, that’s going to be tough on you, but you can’t be like my dad.

Since the fortune teller said so, it must be true.

ɴօνǤօ.сο

The opportunity is right in front of us!

Look at Yunxuan, she seized it and her life took off.

If we don’t seize it, our family will stay the same as always.

My brother and I can’t live like this forever.”

Weng Xia nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I definitely won’t let you always live like this, don’t worry.

We’ll invite Mr.

Han over for dinner right away!”

——

Shao Yunxuan returned to Chu Kong’s side with heavy steps.

Mr.

Chu Kong still sat in the piano room, looking at her with a benevolent gaze.

Assistant Mei Qin stood by his side as well.

Shao Yunxuan greeted the two of them.

Chu Kong stretched out his hand, getting straight to the point, “Yunxuan, have you rested enough?

Play it once more.”

This time Mei Qin also focused on her, thinking that the young lady couldn’t possibly play as horrifically as before.

The last piece was indeed unpleasant to the ear.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was chosen by Mr.

Chu Kong, he would have wanted to flee the room.

He thought that after her rest today, she could still play a beautiful piece.

Chu Kong also looked forward to Shao Yunxuan’s performance.

After all, she was someone he had personally selected, and she embodied his hopes as well as Shen Yixin’s.

How could he not take it seriously?

However, at this moment, Shao Yunxuan was unaware of Chu Kong’s illness, nor was she informed about Shen Yixin’s condition.

She hadn’t yet grasped her own value.

All she felt was a strong resistance to playing that same piece again.

Her eyes flickered, and she stepped back, “Mr.

Chu Kong, I’m sorry, I don’t want to play anymore.”

Chu Kong was taken aback, “What happened?

Did something happen?”

Shao Yunxuan bit her lip, a dark glint twinkling in her eyes as she continued, “I’ve realized that my musical literacy isn’t high…

because I think, the best audience for a musician is oneself.

I’ve practiced a lot of techniques, and I might become a professional musician in the future.

But in these past few days, I’ve asked myself, what’s the use of the world having one more skilled musician?

What do I truly want?”

Having said all that, Shao Yunxuan bowed deeply, “Now, I’ve figured it out.

So I’m very sorry, Mr.

Chu, I might disappoint you!”

As she spoke, she almost verbatim repeated what Lu Mian had said before.

She was gambling, advancing by seeming to retreat.

After hearing her out, Chu Kong was stunned, and so was Mei Qin.

The piano room was quiet for a while before Chu Kong came to his senses, his fingers trembling slightly as he beckoned Yunxuan over, “Come here.”

Far from dislike or disappointment, his eyes were filled with hope and joy.

He nodded in satisfaction, his smile gaining a few genuine touches, “Yunxuan, I’m surprised you could voice such thoughts.

It’s unexpected for someone of your young age to have such profound insight.

Many people my age couldn’t even grasp what you’ve understood!”

As he said this, his gaze toward Shao Yunxuan grew even more appreciative.

How should I put it?

This girl was very astute and had a lot of poise.

The words she had spoken were not something just anyone could express.

Especially those within their circle, who wasn’t initially pursuing piano skills?

But as they walked on, they would find that while piano skills could be practiced day after day, that original heart was drifting further and further away from their once-held dreams, and this was what he wanted to see the least.

The reaction of Chu Kong was beyond Shao Yunxuan’s expectations, yet also within them.

She felt she had won the bet.

Chu Kong really fell for it.

She didn’t want to play that piece, at least not until she was more practiced, so she decided to take a step back to advance and uttered that speech.

Now it seemed that the effect was quite good; Chu Kong was indeed satisfied with her.

Chu Kong had no choice now; he didn’t have a better option.

Time would not allow him to slowly pick another heir, particularly since his brother had one concert after another, and his phone was with his assistant, making contact impossible.

Finally, Chu Kong took a deep breath, and his tone changed, “Yunxuan, your piano skills still need some serious polishing.

I will have my first disciple, Shen Yixin, take good care of you!

After the new year, I am also thinking of holding a small concert, and I will take you with me to perform on stage.”

Upon hearing these words, Shao Yunxuan was even more surprised, “Mr.

Chu, what do you mean by this?”

Mei Qin kindly reminded her from the side, “This is his way of acknowledging you!

Mr.

Chu is going to take you on stage.

You’ll soon be able to call him your master.”

Master?

Had she succeeded?!

Shao Yunxuan was unexpectedly delighted; her heart seemed ready to take flight.

She couldn’t believe that just because of what she had said, Chu Kong had made up his mind to take her as his disciple—wasn’t that incredible?

If she had known, she would have gone to Lu Mian earlier, although Lu Mian wasn’t that great, he was still somewhat useful…

While thinking this, Shao Yunxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very aware that Mr.

Chu Kong had made this decision because he must have seen her strengths and merits, and he wanted to cultivate her with care.

There was no need for her to belittle herself.

She became more and more joyful, “Mr.

Chu, rest assured, I will study diligently under your guidance!”

Chu Kong nodded, “You still need to practice that piece thoroughly.

When it comes to my concert, I want to show everyone my future disciple’s brilliance!

Yunxuan, you are now the face of my school—so put in the effort.”

Shao Yunxuan has never been valued like this, and she nodded again and again, “Master, you can count on me!”

This time, she finally called out the word “master” openly and straightforwardly.

However, Chu Kong did not respond.

Changing the address was a very official and significant matter, requiring a ceremony to formalize it.

Without the official initiation, he couldn’t be considered a master yet, and he had not yet let Yixin and the others weigh in, so it was not the final outcome.

As long as Shao Yunxuan herself stayed determined and played that piece fluently, he believed everyone would be speechless.

It all depended on Shao Yunxuan herself; she had to fight for it.

After discussing all this, when Shao Yunxuan was about to leave the piano room, Mei Qin stood at the door to remind her, “Miss Yunxuan, there is a taboo concerning Mr.

Chu Kong that I need to tell you about in advance.”

Shao Yunxuan looked back in Chu Kong’s direction and noticed that he had heard but did not stop it.

So she bowed her head respectfully, “Mr.

Mei, please tell me.”
