Chapter 633: I Hope You’ll Reconsider Your Decision
An An pulled Gu Yin forward and asked somewhat proudly, “Surprised, Master Bi?”
Master Bi was obviously pleasantly surprised. Seeing how intimate the two girls were, he asked, “How did you get to know each other?”
The young missy then told him about how she met Gu Yin, who had come to Country K to look for Kang Qi, on her return flight from abroad and how Gu Yin was the only student that the medical organization had recruited when they went to Ming City at the start of the year.
The more the maestro heard, the more astounded he became. He was also proud to see how outstanding the girl he had his eyes on was. Needless to say, the medical organization had considerable influence. Gu Yin must have shown great potential for them to make such an exception for her. “The medical org made an exception for you?”
Throughout, Gu Yin sat obediently on the sofa while wearing a modest and polite smile on her face. The president, his wife, and his eldest daughter all knew the story of Gu Yin’s admission, so they did not comment much on it. Besides, her performance in the medical organization had proven that she had talent. Even if the medical organization had managed to recruit Gu Mang back then, there was no guarantee that she would have been able to achieve as much as Gu Yin had.
Leaning forward slightly, Master Bi regarded Gu Yin with glowing eyes. “Since you’ve entered the medical organization and are doing well in your studies, I should find time to go meet your parents and convince them to let you be my student.”
Hearing that, Gu Yin’s face turned slightly ashen as she bit her lower lip and kept mum. The maestro was stunned to see her behaving like this, having no idea what had happened.
An An took her friend’s hand and gave her a look of sympathy. “Master Bi, Gu Yin’s parents passed away in an accident last year.”
“What?” He was shocked to hear that. “When did this happen?”
Gu Yin’s eyes were red and her voice sounded fragile as she answered, “Last September.”
The maestro could not help but sigh when he realized that her parents, whom he had met two years ago, were no longer around. He then asked her, “So where are you living now?”
“At my uncle’s place,” she replied. Master Bi’s heart was put slightly at ease when he heard that she had been adopted by her relatives.
Silence reigned for several seconds before Noelle looked over at them and started a conversation about the maestro’s upcoming concert. The Royal Concert was the world’s most famous large-scale concert and its tickets were hard to come by. The concert goers were rich and famous people from all over the world, and the president and his family were no exception.
Master Bi got a ticket from his assistant and handed it to Gu Yin. “Gu Yin, come attend the concert if you’re free.”
Gu Yin politely took it from him with two hands as she pressed her lips into a smile. “Thank you, Master Bi.”
The maestro bade them goodbye after lunch was over. Before leaving, however, he looked at Gu Yin and told her, “Gu Yin, I know you’ll have a bright future in the medical organization, but given your talent, I find it a real pity that you have given up on playing piano. I hope you’ll reconsider your decision.”
She gave him a humble reply, saying, “I’ll think about it, Master Bi.”
…
That night, Gu Yin stayed over at the presidential palace. As she lay in bed, she recalled the first time she met Master Bi. On that fateful day, she was doing homework in her bedroom when she heard someone playing the piano. The melody was unique. It seemed different than the traditional way of playing piano in a soft, gentle tone. It was a heart-thumping piece that struck at one’s heart.
When she stepped out of her bedroom to go check out the piano room, the melody suddenly stopped. By the time she reached the piano room on the third floor, there was no one around. The only ones who knew how to play the piano in their family were her father and her, so she naturally thought it was her father who had been playing the piano moments ago. However, when she was about to go out and ask him about it, her parents and a middle-aged man entered the room.
When the man saw her, he told her parents right there and then that he wanted her as his student. Her parents turned him down, though. It was only later that she learned that the middle-aged man was the world’s renowned pianist, Master Bi.
