The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian’s playful eyes. Although she knew that Shen Xian was just joking, she still felt nervous and avoided Shen Xian’s sight. “Students naturally like the teacher. The teacher is superb in piano skills and amiable. I can’t compare to him. I have professional admiration and favor for the teacher.”

“Miss Lan is really impeccable!” Shen Xian shook his head and smiled. Such high-sounding words were actually a bit cute coming from Lan Yuan’s mouth. Although his face was so cold, the words were actually very interesting.

Shen Xian wanted to continue teasing the rabbit and deliberately looked embarrassed, “What if everyone believes my lies and I can’t get married in the future?”

“The teacher is extremely talented and beautiful. The small city of Yangzhou cannot hide the beauty of the teacher. If the teacher is worried about getting married, then I will be even more embarrassed.” Lan Yuan knew that Shen Xian wanted to tease her, so she continued following her question.

In fact, what Lan Yuan wants to say is: It’s a good thing if you can’t get married, I can take care of you for the rest of your life.But this is really inappropriate.

“Let’s eat. Let’s continue eating. We won’t say anything when we eat, and we won’t say anything when we sleep.” Shen Xian could hardly hold back his laughter and stuffed two big mouthfuls of rice to stop the laughter in his throat.Lan Yuan is really good at speaking these Mandarin dialects. She looks like a little adult and is quite cute.

“You laugh at me, you actually laugh at me.” Lan Yuan deliberately put down her chopsticks, her voice sweet and sweet.

Shen Xian couldn’t help it any longer and laughed. He hadn’t been so happy for a long time.

“You’re still laughing, and you don’t care about your students’ feelings at all.” Lan Yuan gently twisted Shen Xian’s arm, not daring to use any force.

“Eat, eat.” Shen Xian put the chicken legs to Lan Yuan and couldn’t help but laugh.

Jasmine outside was surprised, what kind of food was this?So happy.

Lan Yuan casually mentioned Miss Su family – Su Wan at the dinner table yesterday.

Today, Su Wan invited Lan Yuan to come over tomorrow to talk about her family life.Just say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

Moreover, Su Wan specifically requested Lan Yuan to bring piano teacher Shen Xian with her in the invitation post.

After reading the invitation, Lan Yuan put down the invitation. After thinking about it for a while, she realized that this was a Hongmen banquet, but she couldn’t go.The Su family is a noble family in Yangzhou, and Su Wan is the eldest brother’s fiancée and future sister-in-law, so she has to give her face.

On the day of the banquet——

In the car, Lan Yuan was afraid that Shen Xian would feel uncomfortable, so she only talked about Su Wan’s invitation to the party.

But Lan Yuan knew it well. It was probably the person Su Wan arranged around her eldest brother who revealed that his eldest brother had a crush on Shen Xian. The drunkard’s intention was not to drink. Su Wan’s banquet was not about reminiscing about the past. It was probably Shen Xian who was targeted. However, Lan Yuan felt that as long as she was there, Shen Xian would not be bullied.

“Can’t we not go?” Shen Xian was depressed and his tone softened.She didn’t like the gatherings of these noble ladies. Last year, she and Xu Ziyu were involved in these affairs. The virtues of those ladies and wives were really disliked.

“Mr. Shen, the Su family has a lot of business dealings with our family. I dare not refute Su Wan’s reputation, but don’t worry, we can come back after dinner.” Lan Yuan felt sorry for Shen Xian, but she had no better way.

After getting out of the car, Shen Xian looked at the door of the Su family and instantly understood the reason why Lan Yuan could not refuse the invitation.

The threshold of the Su family is higher, and their status is clearly higher than that of the Lan family. Su Wan is Lan Zhi’s fiancée. The Lan family has a higher status than the Su family, so they really need to lose face on weekdays.

Lan and Chen were led by their servants to the villa where Su Wan lived.

The first time Su Wan saw Shen Xian, she thought she was a vixen. She had long teeth and claws, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a seductive look. She herself felt that Shen Xian was too long to look away. How could Lan Zhi not be fascinated by him as a man.

“Sister Lan Yuan, the magpies were chirping just now, and I knew that a distinguished guest was coming. It’s been a long time since I last saw you. My sister has been looking forward to you early in the morning.” Su Wan greeted Lan Yuan enthusiastically and mentioned Chen Xian, who was following behind Lan Yuan and beside Jasmine. “This is your new teacher! He is so handsome. My sister, you are on equal footing with me.”

There is a needle hidden in Su Wan’s smile, overt praise and covert criticism. In Su Wan’s heart, Shen Xian is a bad teacher who lives under a foreigner. He puts her on the same level as Lan Yuan. Lan Yuan probably won’t feel it. She will naturally have Chen Xian’s good fruits when she returns home. She believes that women’s jealousy and competition for beauty are sharp weapons for killing.

“Who doesn’t know that Sister Su is the most beautiful woman in Yangzhou City. When we stand next to Sister Su, we are really dim.” Lan Yuan cleverly resolved Su Wan’s words, bending down to salute with a smile.

After listening to what these two people said, Chen Xian took a look at Su Wan and felt that this person was bound to retaliate for his anger and was not someone to be trifled with.It is estimated that this party is not as simple as Lan Yuan said. Su Wan is not the person to have a good meal.

“I’m so confused. I’m still chatting in the yard. Sister, follow me into the house. I’ve made tea in advance for you. I know you like the best Pu’er.” Su Wan took Lan Yuan’s hand and led her into the house.

Chen Xian followed Lan Yuan, with doubts in his head. Isn’t Lan Yuan’s favorite tea melon slices?

A group of people entered the house, and Lan Yuan was surprised that Su Wan, who usually only liked to listen to Pingtan, actually placed a piano in the corner of the living room, and she felt some bad feelings in her heart.

The servant served tea to the two of them. Lan Yuan thought that Shen Xian, who was standing behind him, felt unhappy. If Shen Xian was wronged later, it would be worse than being bullied.

Shen Xian knew that Miss Su had bad intentions from the moment she walked in, so she had always been cautious and abided by the rules. Today, she always reminded herself to be careful and not to lose face to Lan Yuan. It was safest to stand behind Lan Yuan as a background.

“Brother Lan Zhi came to see me a few days ago and specially brought me a gift from Peiping. I was so happy.” Su Wan said and deliberately showed Lan Yuan the jade bracelet on her hand.

“Brother always remembers sister and will never forget her wherever she goes.” Lan Yuan said with a smile.

“It’s true that your brother is sincere to me, but there are some foxy people who always think of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, and try to seduce your brother in various ways.” Su Wan said something pointedly, with a sharp look in her eyes, she glanced at Chen Xian behind Lan Yuan.

When Chen Xian listened to Su Wan pointing out the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree, he realized that he was the locust tree that was being scolded, and felt sick.

Now Shen Xian finally knew the reason why Miss Su asked him to come by name. Shen Xian regarded him as a love rival, but not everyone likes a man like Lan Zhi, at least he would never like it.Chen Xian felt that Su Wan’s vision was average.

Lan Yuan naturally knew that those words were directed at Shen Xian. She wanted to refute, but she didn’t dare. She pinched her fingers to calm down her anger and spoke in a humble tone, “Brother keeps his integrity. I have never heard of other women around him. Sister, you can rest assured.”

“Of course I can rest assured about your brother. He doesn’t look down on those second-rate people, so don’t think that some people can do whatever they want if they are pretty and can play musical instruments. Don’t you think so, Chen Xian?” Su Wan raised her eyes and gave Shen Xian a look, with a hidden smile.

“Sister, you are serious. Teacher Shen is my mentor and helpful friend. She follows the rules in our house and never violates the rules. Teacher Shen is by my side day and night and lives in my yard. I know her best as a person.” Lan Yuan defended.

“Miss Su, we may have some misunderstandings.” Shen Xian walked up to Su Wan and couldn’t bear it anymore. She had learned a lot about swearing when she was with Xu Ziyu before, and she was not really afraid of Su Wan.

“If I really want to turn a sparrow into a phoenix, the high branch I will climb will naturally be Miss Lan Yuan, and it will definitely not be anyone else. Teaching Miss Lan the piano well is my only job in Lan Mansion, and I have no other intention.” Shen Xian said this. If Miss Su family keeps messing around, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t do this job. If she voluntarily resigns and leaves, it won’t affect the Lan family.

“Teacher Shen, since you rely on your craftsmanship for a living, I bought a new piano, how about you play a song for us?” Su Wan would never give in, never let herself be fooled by Shen Xian’s bluff, she wanted to drive Shen Xian into the dirt.

“I’m a teacher, not a street performer.” Shen Xian knew that Su Wan was clearly trying to make things difficult for him, and he was determined not to let anyone succeed.

“Then Sister Lan, you have been studying for a while, why don’t you come and play to prove that your teacher is not bad at teaching.” Su Wan took Lan Yuan’s hand and led her to the piano.

Lan Yuan obediently obeyed, stood up and walked towards the piano. Halfway there, she heard very tight and urgent footsteps behind her.

Chen Xian walked quickly to the piano, sat down directly, tried the sound, and started playing.

In any case, Lan Yuan is his student first, and then the lady of the Lan family. Shen Xian is not willing to let Lan Yuan suffer this injustice. He is older and thick-skinned, so it doesn’t matter if he is bullied a few times.

Even Chen Xian herself didn’t know when she moved her friendship with Lan Yuan to the employment relationship, but from this moment on, from the moment she walked to the piano, Shen Xian could absolutely confirm that she had a bond and feelings for Lan Yuan.

The impassioned piano music reached Lan Yuan’s ears. Lan Yuan could hear Chen Xian’s anger and dissatisfaction, and felt sorry for Chen Xian to suffer for him.

Su Wan couldn’t tell the difference between good and bad, so she took the tea cup and walked forward. Lan Yuan only looked at Chen Xian, unaware of Su Wan’s malicious intent.

Su Wan walked behind Shen Xian, pretending that her hands were unsteady, and poured the hot water directly on Shen Xian’s hands.

“I’m sorry, Teacher Shen, my hands were shaking just now.” Su Wan’s mean tone echoed in the living room.

Chen Xian frowned and endured the pain in his hand, “You obviously did it on purpose.”

Jasmine was waiting for the young lady at the door. When she saw the situation inside, she immediately went to find cold water.

Lan Yuan immediately ran to Shen Xian’s side and bent down to check the injury. Her heart ached and tears fell. The fingers and back of Shen Xian’s right hand were shockingly red. “Jasmine will be here soon. Don’t worry, it will be fine.”

Jasmine brought a basin of cold water and a towel, and Lan Yuan immediately wetted the towel and put it on Shen Xian’s hand, then helped the person up.

“Sister Su, there are many interruptions today, let’s talk about it another day.” After Lan Yuan finished speaking, she took Shen Xian and left the Su family without looking back.

“Go to the nearest hospital.” Lan Yuan ordered the driver, her tone urgent.Shen Xian’s burns need to be treated quickly.
