Chapter 449 -448: What are you popping?
Are you talking and laughing?
Shao Yunxuan patted her hand, “No problem, when the time comes, I’ll teach you, just learn from me!”
“Doesn’t that make me the disciple of a famous teacher’s disciple?!” Fu Shuangshuang laughed happily.
This sentence delighted Shao Yunxuan, her eyes nearly creasing into slits with her smile.
While the two of them were lavishing praise on each other as if no one else was around, Lu Mian stood by with a laugh, as if watching two jokes unfold before her.
She looked seriously at Shao Yunxuan.
Actually, she didn’t really have any significant conflicts with Shao Yunxuan or Fu Shuangshuang.
As a child, she was young, and many things were forgotten.
The occasional roughhousing among children was common, and she didn’t take it to heart.
But at this moment, Shao Yunxuan and Fu Shuangshuang were quite interesting, and Lu Mian couldn’t help but find the theories that Shao Yunxuan had come up with amusing.
Shao Yunxuan felt uneasy under her cold gaze, her voice shrilling slightly from guilt, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Lu Mian snorted with laughter, “Shao Yunxuan, I advise you to practice for a few more years.”
Fu Shuangshuang took umbrage at that.
“What do you mean, Lu Mian?
Someone has already become a great master’s apprentice, is it necessary for you to judge how many years she needs to practice?
The great master has accepted Yunxuan as his apprentice; that’s already a recognition of her skill.
What more do you want?
Aren’t you the one who hasn’t even passed the grade exam?
What right do you have to criticize her?”
Fu Shuangshuang rattled off a barrage of words.
Lu Mian simply lifted her eyelids slightly, with a hint of disdain.
“Is that so?” she said, her gaze turning towards Shao Yunxuan, her voice dripping with mockery: “Who did you recognize as your master, then?
Do you dare to repeat what you just said to me to your master?”
Shao Yunxuan was caught off guard and fell silent.
Fu Shuangshuang, not understanding the intricacies of these musical matters, only knew that between Lu Mian and Shao Yunxuan, she would definitely stand by Shao Yunxuan who was about to step into high society.
She glared at Lu Mian, “It’s none of your business whom she acknowledges as her master.
In any case, it is a great master, unlike you, who probably doesn’t even know the name of her master!
Not to mention becoming an apprentice to learn the arts!
What do you have to criticize Yunxuan about?”
Lu Mian’s expression remained light and unconcerned, unlike the two opposite her, who were both frustrated and agitated.
“Isn’t it quite normal what I say about her?
She doesn’t even know what music is, so what’s she playing at?
Just for pleasure?
The best audience for a musician is oneself.
If your technique is pretty good and you’re starting to become a professional musician, then please tell me…
what’s the use of having one more great musician in the world?
To show off?” Her voice was clear and crisp, with each word striking clearly, like pearls dropping onto a jade plate.
It was like a little hammer, each word hammering into Shao Yunxuan’s heart.
She, who was about to become a famous master’s apprentice and had studied the piano, was now being ridiculed by someone who hadn’t even passed the grade exam, someone considered inferior to her in every way.
Yet, Shao Yunxuan found the words Lu Mian had just spoken to hold some truth.
Fu Shuangshuang, rendered speechless and unable to retort, stood in embarrassed silence.
The two of them stood rigidly on the spot, their faces awkward.
They had intended to humiliate Lu Mian, but the tables had turned, and it was they who were taught a lesson by her.
Both of them felt quite depressed.
Lu Mian didn’t bother with them any longer.
After delivering those words, she leisurely put on her headphones and walked away without looking back.
Fu Shuangshuang and Shao Yunxuan were left standing there, stunned.
Lu Mian’s words sounded simple, yet if one pondered them carefully, they would discover a profound philosophical truth hidden within.
Shao Yunxuan understood her sarcasm and concealed a trace of sorrow in her eyes.
From this point on, her desire to take Chu Kong as her mentor only solidified further—it was the only way she saw to turn her fortunes around!
Fu Shuangshuang, noticing Shao Yunxuan’s discontent, quickly patted her hand to comfort her, “Yunxuan, don’t be upset.
When we go back home for dinner tonight, I’ll give her a good scolding for you!
She’s bringing her boyfriend home, isn’t she?
I really want to see what kind of man she can bring back!”
She sneered coldly.
“If my family finds out she’s become someone’s mistress or has been kept by a man, watch how we’ll skin her alive!”
Shao Yunxuan, thinking of these things, finally smiled delightedly, “Shuangshuang, you’re always so good to me.
Once I make it in Jinjing, we’ll be able to hang out more often.”
Fu Shuangshuang nodded happily, “Yes!
Jinjing and Lucheng are not far from each other, just a phone call away.
When you become successful, don’t forget about your little sister, okay?”
Shao Yunxuan readily agreed, “Of course!
I will absolutely not forget you.”
Shao Yunxuan and Fu Shuangshuang tirelessly wandered through the hotel as if only by doing so could they better revel in those things they had once not even dared to dream of.
Halfway through, Chu Kong called Shao Yunxuan, and she was suddenly summoned back.
The moment she received Chu Kong’s call, Shao Yunxuan felt a bit uneasy; her heart was far from joyful.
Because she knew why Chu Kong was calling her back—it was to have her play the same piece of music again, to verify her identity and ability.
She had been practicing diligently these past days, but she always seemed to miss the essence.
Although she could play smoothly, it always lacked some soul.
This time, could she still manage to get through it smoothly?
And what excuse would she have to make this time?
She hesitated briefly before putting away her phone, “Shuangshuang, I need to go back first.
If you don’t want to wander around by yourself, you can come back with me.”
Fu Shuangshuang shook her head, “No need, you go back and tend to the important matters.
Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine shopping on my own!”
“Alright, just give me a call if anything comes up.
I’m going to see how my master is doing,” she said affectionately, referring to her mentor as ‘master’.
“Your master really can’t seem to do without you!” Fu Shuangshuang waved goodbye to her.
However, as she watched Shao Yunxuan’s retreating figure, envy filled her more and more.
How come Shao Yunxuan was so lucky?
Remembering something, she hurriedly called Weng Xia, “Mom, what’s happening with dad?
Wasn’t there a provincial-level big shot who came to him?
What’s it all about?”
Weng Xia was also unclear about the situation.
She had asked Fu Yao several times, but he refused to disclose anything, which angered her as well.
What could possibly be so secret?
What mattered most was her concern that Fu Yao wouldn’t seize the opportunity and might just miss the chance to cozy up to someone influential.
It was their first time encountering such a high-level dignitary—how could they not cherish it!
Fu Shuangshuang sighed, speaking with a tone that betrayed her frustration with her father’s lack of initiative, “My dad really needs to start thinking about me and my brother for once.
Whatever they want him to do, he should just cooperate, right?
It’s not like a provincial-level big shot would ask him to do anything illegal!”

Weng Xia agreed, “Exactly!
If your dad knew how to handle things, how to get on in the world, then we’d have our grip firmly on that thigh by now!”
“Seriously…
Besides, it was the big shot who approached us; they must have done their research before doing so.
My dad is just too mediocre.”
