Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 217 - 202 Night Sister’s correct way to make an appearance!_3

Xu Qing was still arguing for her daughter, "Mr. Tan, even if she didn’t perform well just now, didn’t you still say on the phone that you wanted to have a talk with us after the audition?"

Mr. Tan simply found this family of three ridiculously funny. Was it possible that he would still want to take her as a disciple after that kind of performance?

He shifted his body slightly, facing the three people in front of him.

Originally, he didn’t want to be too explicit, but since these three were asking for it, he could not be blamed for not leaving them any dignity.

Mr. Tan turned to Xia Yourong and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Xia student, tell me the truth, the flute melody on the phone earlier, who really played it?"

In the beginning, Xia Yourong played a different piece, and Mr. Tan could still make excuses for her, maybe facing so many judges, she was too nervous and did not perform well.

But then Mr. Tan let her play the same tune as on the phone, and the answer became crystal clear.

This was no longer just a matter of flute skills. This student named Xia Yourong was also very disappointing in terms of character!

As soon as Mr. Tan asked the question, Qiao Yufen and Xu Qing seemed to instantly understand something.

Xu Qing even directly guessed who might have performed the recording.

She glanced at her phone, recalling the text message she had received before her daughter’s audition, and just prayed that the mysterious boss had not seen her daughter’s subsequent performance.

But things often do not go as people wish; while she was thinking this, a text message came back.

[What a disappointment, you just wasted several minutes of my time. It seems your daughter falls somewhat short compared to your sister’s daughter...]

Xu Qing’s face turned red with shame instantly. Ever since she was young, she couldn’t stand being told she was inferior to her sister, and the text message felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart.

Xu Qing had long realized that the person she was dealing with was a true villain, a cold-blooded animal.

A specialist in targeting people’s soft spots.

But there was no helping it, even if he was a cold-blooded animal, he was a rich and generous one!

Mr. Tan was still waiting for Xia Yourong’s answer.

Xia Yourong bit her lip, stepped back intentionally and said, "Mr. Tan, honestly, the music that was played on the phone that day was not performed live by me. It was a recording of a previous performance. I was too nervous, afraid that I wouldn’t perform well live, so I played the recording. But that recording was indeed performed by me personally, my classmate recorded it on the phone for me. I really didn’t deceive you, I just didn’t perform well just now, could you give me another chance..."

"Enough! I am truly speechless!" Mr. Tan interrupted loudly.

Xia Yourong suddenly fell silent, her hands clenched into fists at her sides, not daring to look at the expressions on Xu Qing and Qiao Yufen’s faces at that moment.

Nevertheless, she still wouldn’t admit to deceiving anyone.

Because if she admitted it, Mr. Tan would definitely seek out the real person of the recording.

Even if Xia Yourong had to risk losing the extra points for the college entrance exam, she couldn’t let Mr. Tan know that the recording was played by Xia Ye!

If she was not going to succeed, then no one else would!

Mr. Tan, his face full of disappointment, pointed at Xia Yourong, but ultimately was so angry he could not even speak, and simply waved his hand in frustration.

Qiao Yufen and Xu Qing also had no face to plead with Mr. Tan.

Xia Yourong stubbornly refused to budge, thinking this whole affair would just blow over.

But just then—

From the large, open window of the summer day, suddenly a flute melody sounded again.

As the familiar beginning was heard, everyone instantly realized that it was the same melody as in the recording!

This time, however, it was a more complete version, and without the impurities in the recording, plus the echo between the mountains, the melody was absolutely captivating, instantly seizing souls and making it impossible to ignore! freewebnoveℓ.com

Not just them; even the three judges who were heading to the staircase preparing to leave also stopped in their tracks, drawn by the flute sound.

Xia Yourong could not believe it; was this not... Xia Ye’s flute sound?

Where did this sound come from? How could she possibly be nearby as well?

The light in Mr. Tan’s eyes flickered, his expression that was just agitated by Xia Yourong instantly eased.

This was the flute sound he had really been seeking!

"Mr. Tan, listen to me, I still..." Xia Yourong said frantically, trying to cover the flute sound from outside with her own voice, to distract Mr. Tan.

But before she could finish, Mr. Tan simply pushed her aside, unable to wait even a moment longer, and strode briskly towards the outside—
