Chapter 2576  : Twins

Ling Jintian got into the car, and the chauffeur drove him away.

Chen Yufeng felt a little relieved and followed Ling Rong in.

When Ling Jintian’s car was halfway there, he casually looked out of the window and saw Lin Shuhui’s familiar figure.

“Stop the car!”

He immediately shouted.

The car screeched to a stop. Ling Jintian immediately got out and walked toward Lin Shuhui. “Shuhui!”

Lin Shuhui didn’t expect to meet him here, nor did she expect to have any interactions with him. Her tone was a little calm. “What a coincidence, President Ling.”

“Do you have to call me President Ling?” Ling Jintian said helplessly. “Where are you going? Get in the car. I’ll drive you.”

“No need. I’m just out for a walk. I don’t have a destination.”

“Then I’ll walk around with you.”

Lin Shuhui immediately refused. “I happen to be meeting a friend for tea, so I can’t accompany you. Forget it.”

Ling Jintian was obviously a little disappointed, but he was unwilling to leave immediately.

Seeing him like this, Lin Shuhui said calmly, “President Ling, I believe you know that it’s not suitable for us to meet again. This won’t be good for either of us. It’ll cause harm to your family, especially Rong Rong. Let’s leave it at that. We don’t have to see each other or contact each other again. By the way, you didn’t have to pay for the meal last time, President Ling. Back then, we agreed not to see each other again, and I believe it’s best to keep our promise.”

“But…” Ling Jintian wanted to say something else.

“No buts. I told you back then that we wouldn’t see each other again, didn’t I?” Lin Shuhui said calmly.

After so many years, she had long let go. Although there were still occasional ripples, they were all a matter of the past. It was history. It was just that occasionally, her heart would still palpitate.

However, it could no longer stir up the emotions in the depths of her heart.

Obviously, Ling Jintian did not share the same thoughts. It was not easy for him to give up on the relationship he had when he was young.

Lin Shuhui interrupted him. After saying those words, she nodded and turned to leave.

Just like back then, she turned around without hesitation, leaving him no room to argue.

The more she acted like this, the more Ling Jintian felt that he could not let her go. The guilt in his heart increased.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Shuhui had already disappeared into the distance.

The competition for the preliminary round had just continued.

The professional group was in one venue, while the amateur group was in another. Both were domestic preliminary rounds.

Chen Yufeng was worried and nervous. She really didn’t want to see Lin Shuhui.

In the end, she did not see Lin Shuhui because Lin Shuhui did not come at all.

Not only her, but even Xu Wangzhi and Qiao Weiyang did not come.

Suspicion filled her heart. Why weren’t these people here? Wasn’t the competition going to start?

Ling Rong had already finished the competition and obtained the right to enter the finals for the domestic competition. She ran over excitedly. “Mom, I passed the preliminaries! Look!”

“Congratulations! My daughter is amazing!”

“I think so too! But why don’t I see Qiao Weiyang and Xu Wangzhi? Are they not coming anymore? It’s so strange!”

Before Ling Rong came, she treated them as strong competitors. However, she did not see them even after she was done with the competition. Wasn’t this surprising?

While they were talking, Fan Yushu and Fan Dinghao also walked over happily.

Ling Rong immediately smiled and said, “Let me guess. Senior also passed the preliminaries and successfully entered the domestic finals, right?”

“You guessed right,” Fan Yushu said with a smile. “Dinghao passed the preliminaries. ”

“That’s great! We can participate in the finals together again in the future,” Ling Rong said with a smile.

“Dinghao being able to enter the finals is very normal, right? Why should you be surprised?” Chen Yufeng rebuked.

Ling Rong stuck out her tongue. “It’s my fault. I should’ve trusted Senior.”

“Let’s go and have a meal together,” Fan Dinghao said.

“By the way, have you seen Lin Shuhui and the others?” Chen Yufeng asked.

She was really worried that she had not seen that group of people.

Fan Yushu found it a little strange. He really didn’t see Lin Shuhui and the others.

Logically speaking, the few of them would come today. It was impossible for them to give up without even participating in the preliminaries, right?

However, he really did not see them.

He found it really strange.

Fan Dinghao said, “Could they have finished the competition in advance?”

“We came so early, but we didn’t see them at all,” Ling Rong said. “Could it be that Lu Ke, Xu Wangzhi, and Qiao Weiyang have given up on the competition? Do they know that they can’t do it, so they decided to just give up on participating in it?”

Fan Yushu didn’t think it was possible.

Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi both took this competition very seriously. Otherwise, the music academy would not have invited Lin Shuhui back.

Looking at the current situation, Chen Yufeng was not in the mood to eat.

Actually, whether Lin Shuhui’s students participated in the competition or not had nothing to do with her.

However, deep down, she treated Lin Shuhui as her competitor. Only by being able to trample all over her would she feel comfortable.

“How about this? Brother Fan, call the school and ask about their situation,’ Chen Yufeng suggested.

Fan Yushu had the same idea.

He immediately called the school.

The person in charge on the other end of the line said in a very kind tone, “Mr. Fan? You’re asking about Mrs. Lin? Which Mrs. Lin?”

“Lin Shuhui.”

“Oh, I’ll take a look at the situation immediately.” The person on the other end seemed to be typing on the keyboard. After a while, they said, “Mr. Fan, Qiao Weiyang, Xu Wangzhi, and Lu Ke have all entered the domestic finals.”

“Did they come to participate in the competition today? How are their scores?” Fan Yushu found it strange.

“They didn’t participate in the preliminaries. As long as an international piano master recommends them and they have a recommendation letter, they can be exempted from the first round. As you know, the first round itself isn’t very difficult. The rule has always been that one doesn’t have to compete after getting a recommendation letter.”

The other party had already made it clear.

Fan Yushu suddenly remembered that there was such a rule, but it was not easy to get a recommendation letter. First of all, one had to find a suitable master to recommend them. This master had to be recognized by the competition.

Secondly, there were some other corresponding rules, such as the candidate’s winning situation, ability, and so on.

That was why Fan Yushu didn’t let Fan Dinghao and Ling Rong take this path. He directly let them compete because that path wasn’t easy..
