Shi Xuexin was still chatting with Wen Wang. Chu Ling was also trying his best to recommend Shi Xuexin to Wen Wang.
Hu Lai was also standing to one side.
Shi Xuexin suddenly saw Old Master Li and Gu Qingqing.
She hadn't spent much time with Gu Qingqing, so their relationship was limited. However, Old Master Li had watched her grow up, so she was closest to him.
However, Old Master Li was still dressed in a traditional Chinese suit and a pair of ordinary cloth shoes. He looked no different from an ordinary old man from a small town.
Maybe he'd even left some chickens and ducks downstairs which were waiting to be delivered.
With that thought, Shi Xuexin felt conflicted. On the one hand, she was trying her best to restore her relationship with Gu Jingyuan and use his power to expand her career. However, on the other hand, she really didn't like Old Master Li's old-fashioned ways and didn't want to be associated with him.
Seeing Old Master Li coming over, she couldn't really greet him. What would Chu Ling think if Old Master Li gave her a chicken or duck?
While she was conflicted, she also saw Zhu Junrong, who was beside Old Master Li. Her violin teacher when she was young had not looked like Teacher Zhu.
Teacher Zhu had been teaching in a small town at that time. Not only was he very old-fashioned, but he was also extremely strict and hit her palms at any moment.
Furthermore, in that small town, Teacher Zhu had kept saying that she did not have much talent and needed more training to make up for her lack of ability with diligence. This had made Shi Xuexin doubt herself.
It was only when she returned to the Shi family later that all sorts of teachers began praising her. Shi Xuexin had quickly regained her confidence and received numerous awards.
She really did not understand what was going on with this Teacher Zhu. She was already very skilled, and when she returned to the capital, she was no worse than the others. Why had he been so stingy with praising her and being nice to her? She really could not understand why.
Shi Xuexin could be said to hate and fear him at the same time. Even in her dreams, she could see his ferocious expression. She did not want to see him at all anymore.
In that moment of hesitation, she subconsciously hid behind Chu Ling, completely ignoring the three people.
Old Master Li and Gu Qingqing seemed to have sensed something amiss and looked in Shi Xuexin's direction.
They could not see Shi Xuexin in person. They only saw the enlarged photo at the door. It was Shi Xuexin's high-definition photo.
Then, without saying anything, the two of them walked inside.
Li Juekai followed closely behind. He did not see Shi Xuexin and walked towards the main hall.
Only then did Shi Xuexin step out from behind Chu Ling. The smile on her face did not change, but she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Wen Wang said in a low voice, "Isn't that Elder Zhu?"
Shi Xuexin quickly looked at Chu Ling and realized that he had not noticed Old Master Li and the rest. Her expression became even calmer.
Wen Wang said in a low voice, "Isn't that Elder Zhu?"
"Master Wen, what did you say?" Chu Ling asked.
"I think I just saw an important senior."
