A Big Shot s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Chapter 719: The Peculiar Piano Competition
The next afternoon, Wen Xin was awakened by a noisy ringtone. With her eyes closed, she fumbled around the bed for her phone but couldn’t find it.

Finally, annoyed, Wen Xin opened her eyes, climbed off Mu Chengxi’s chest, and searched for her phone, only to find it within a pile of clothes on the carpet.

By the time Wen Xin got to her phone, the call had already been disconnected. Wen Xin took a deep breath as she looked at the missed call before dialing back.

“You called, what’s up?” Wen Xin hadn’t been on the phone with Sun Ning for long before the call connected, and she asked in a cool tone.

“Nothing much, just wanted to ask why you haven’t come over yet… today…”

“I’m not coming today, I’ve got things to do!” Without waiting for Sun Ning to respond, Wen Xin hung up the phone, not giving Sun Ning a chance to continue questioning.

Sun Ning, who was at the hospital, looked at the disconnected call in his hand, puzzled. This wasn’t like Wen Xin’s usual manner. No matter how late she was the night before, she would always come to see You Su, but today she said she wouldn’t come. Could it be that she was feeling unwell?

As Sun Ning contemplated what Wen Xin could be doing, Luo Qiete walked in from outside, followed by several people who looked like bodyguards.

Seeing Sun Ning standing in the corridor, Luo Qiete approached him with a puzzled look.

“Dr. Sun, why are you standing here by yourself? Is there something wrong with my mother?”

“No, the lady’s condition is good, she can even say a few words now. I was just about to call Wen Xin!”

Wen Xin had told Sun Ning that Luo Qiete wasn’t a bad person and that there was no need to be on guard against him, so Sun Ning didn’t hold back and told Luo Qiete everything straightforwardly.

Hearing that Wen Xin hadn’t come, Luo Qiete was slightly stunned. The first image that came to his mind was that of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi embracing and kissing.

“She… must have had her boyfriend come over, I guess. When I dropped her off yesterday, I saw her kissing a man outside the hotel…”

Sun Ning blinked at the mention of Wen Xin’s boyfriend’s visit but wasn’t too surprised. Given Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s relationship, it was perfectly normal for Mu Chengxi to visit Wen Xin.

“No wonder… Let’s give her a couple of days off then, we won’t disturb her. I’ve already sorted out the treatment plan for the lady, come with me and take a look!”

Sun Ning said and gently patted Luo Qiete’s shoulder, signaling him to come to the office together to discuss You Su’s treatment plan, to inform him about the treatment progress and the expected recovery timeline.

Ever since receiving the call from Wen Xin, Liang Luoyu had wanted to find Tan Xingyue to tell her that Wen Xin did not want her to participate in the competition.

But with so many things happening yesterday, he never got a chance, not until now, as he finally had some time to search for Tan Xingyue at Jingda University.

Only to be told that Tan Xingyue had already left with the team for the competition.

Liang Luoyu sat anxiously in the dean’s office of Capital University Music Department, facing Dean Xing.

“What kind of competition is so urgent? Registration yesterday and the competition starts today? And the first stop is in Country D?”

Liang Luoyu hadn’t thought this matter was so ridiculous before, but after hearing what the head of the Capital University Music Department had to say, he found it utterly absurd. It didn’t sound like any legitimate competition at all.

“I’m not very clear on this either. It was the teachers in the department who proposed participating in this competition, and then anyone could join. At that time, I wasn’t very clear on how Tan Xingyue signed up either,”

“Young Master Liang, there’s no need to worry. Once their team arrives in country D, I will immediately contact student Tan Xingyue, and have Tan Xingyue come back. That should resolve it!”

Principal Xing looked at Liang Luoyu with a flattering expression. During the dispute between Tan Xingyue and Jiang Linfei, he had looked through Tan Xingyue’s information.

He had always thought that Tan Xingyue was just taken care of by Wen Xin, possessing a bit of talent, but he didn’t expect that Young Master Liang would go to the trouble himself, which was really unexpected.

“Then that’s the only way. Contact their team and tell Tan Xingyue to call me at the earliest convenience. I will arrange for someone to pick him up.”

Unable to get the answer he wanted from the principal, Liang Luoyu had no choice but to stand up and leave first. He felt that this competition seemed far too abnormal.

Upon leaving the school, Liang Luoyu immediately dialed Wen Xin’s phone number, which was answered after two rings.

“Wen Xin…”

“Wen Xin is showering. What do you want?” Mu Chengxi answered the call from Liang Luoyu with a tone that wasn’t very friendly, wondering what matter Liang Luoyu could have with Wen Xin over the phone.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s voice, Liang Luoyu was somewhat surprised; he picked up the phone that was next to his ear, certain that he hadn’t dialed the wrong number.

“Master Xi, why is it you? When did you start being with Wen Xin? Shouldn’t you be at your research institute?”

“Can’t I take a break to come and see Wen Xin? Why do you have so many questions? If there’s something, just say it. If there’s nothing, then hang up.”

Mu Chengxi was irritated by Liang Luoyu’s foolish questions. He didn’t understand why Liang Luoyu had so many questions in his head. Couldn’t he miss his girlfriend?

“Of course, there’s something! Master Xi, I want to talk to Wen Xin about Tan Xingyue. The piano competition that the Capital University teachers took them to participate in this time seems a bit abnormal…”

“What’s abnormal about it?” Wen Xin came out of the bathroom just in time to hear Liang Luoyu’s words. She walked over to the phone somewhat puzzled, and asked with a voice that was slightly husky.

“Wen Xin, you’re out. I just came from the office of the dean of the Capital University Music Department. He said that the competition Tan Xingyue is participating in was organized by a teacher at the school, who registered just yesterday, and today they’re already off to country D to compete.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone so eager to participate in a competition all these years! You have friends in this area, don’t you? Perhaps they could look into the competition a bit.”

Liang Luoyu knew that Wen Xin had connections in this area, so his first reaction was to ask Wen Xin to look into the matter in case dragging out the time led to a real problem.

After hearing Liang Luoyu’s words, Wen Xin’s brow furrowed unconsciously, “So fast? I only heard about Tan Xingyue signing up yesterday, and they’ve already left to compete today? And they’re going to country D…”

Upon mentioning country D, Wen Xin couldn’t help but have a headache. She had never heard of country D organizing any prestigious piano competition before.

Moreover, country D was a nation only slightly less chaotic than P City, and it was a mystery why a piano competition would choose to be held in such a country.
