Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Leilei’s New Teacher_1

Of course, Qi Cheng held back a bit, but as a teenager who was publicly punished, Qi Mo felt even more embarrassed and devastated than Qi Cheng did.

Leilei watched the scene seriously, blowing bubbles with her gum incessantly.

"Where did you get the bubble gum?" The family didn’t like her eating such things, worried that she might choke.

Leilei blew a strong bubble, feeling cool and confident. "My brother gave it to me."

Qi Cheng glared at his elder nephew. "Aren’t you a bit too old for such childish stuff?"

"It’s a gift from a girl at school. She found it in her pocket."

"Oh, gifts from girls at your school are quite creative, bubble gum. Makes me laugh." Qi Cheng sat down, looking disdainful.

He was bickering with a kid, looking extremely immature.

Ji Yunhuan watched from the side, too lazy to criticize him.

Leilei looked around, seemingly not seeing the person she was looking for. "Where is Teacher Xia? Why isn’t she here?"

"She has already left."

"I still wanted to talk to her!" Leilei said, feeling very disappointed.

Qi Cheng sat down on the sofa, crossing his long legs, and said to Qi Mo, "Go get me a glass of water. Playing with you guys for so long is exhausting."

Qi Mo reluctantly went to get the water.

Qi Cheng looked at Leilei and said, "You will have a new teacher soon. She won’t be your teacher anymore."

"Why?" Leilei didn’t understand.

Due to his upbringing, Qi Cheng didn’t badmouth Xia Duo much. The Qi family never spoke ill of others in front of the children. Even if the person was really bad, Qi Cheng just said, "You will get a new teacher."

"I don’t like unfamiliar teachers."

Moreover, as a young girl, she had some vanity. Although Xia Duo wasn’t very nice, her classmates were envious when they knew Xia Duo was her teacher.

"Don’t like a new teacher?" The decision had already been made; Qi Cheng couldn’t bring Xia Duo back. He glanced at Ji Yunhuan and suddenly said, "How about letting your aunt be your new teacher?"

Ji Yunhuan was about to daydream when his words pulled her back. "I don’t..."

"Can Aunt play the piano?" Leilei looked at her curiously.

Qi Cheng praised from the side. "Of course, she can. Although she might not be as good as your Teacher Xia, she plays very well."

Ji Yunhuan was displeased to be compared to Xia Duo. She was a proud person. "How am I not as good as her? If I followed her path, who’s to say who would be better!"

Of course, she would need someone like Qi Cheng as a backer.

However, after saying this, she regretted it immediately.

Because didn’t this mean she really had to become Leilei’s teacher?

Leilei asked, "So you agreed?"

Seeing the expectant look in her eyes and thinking about her brother and sister-in-law’s current relationship, Ji Yunhuan found it difficult to refuse.

Ji Yunhuan recently didn’t have the patience for these things. She also feared she couldn’t teach Leilei well. Looking at Qi Cheng, he had a triumphant look on his face.

Leilei led Ji Yunhuan to her music room, with Qi Cheng following closely behind.

When Qi Mo returned with the water, he saw the empty living room and knitted his brows in frustration.

In the music room, there was a grand piano with sheet music on it. Leilei pulled Ji Yunhuan to sit down, saying, "Aunt, sit here."

Qi Cheng also sat down nearby, not disturbing them.

Ji Yunhuan looked at Leilei. "I’ve never taught anyone before."

"It’s okay, you just play for me." Leilei sat beside her, ready to enjoy.

"Did your Teacher Xia come over every day to play for you?"

"She would come whenever she had time." Of course, her purpose wasn’t just to play the piano for Leilei but also to connect with the Qi family.

In Xia Duo’s eyes, as long as she could stay with the Qi family, she could be closer to Qi Cheng.

But Qi Cheng rarely came home anyway.

Ji Yunhuan looked at the piano, curious. "Why did you think of learning the piano?"

"Because Mommy wanted me to play the piano." Thinking of Mommy, Leilei’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness. "So I played."

Children often had their activities decided by the family. They didn’t have many personal opinions.

Ji Yunhuan asked, "So what level are you at now?"

"Level eight."

"Not bad!"

"But it’s not very good either. I’m already eight years old." Leilei looked at Ji Yunhuan doubtfully. "You think level eight is good?"

"It’s okay!"

Her words made Leilei’s expression turn strange. "No one has ever said I’m good! Aunt Xia next door always says, her daughter Tingting has already passed level ten at my age. You saying I’m good is just a lie!"

"Eight years old, level ten? That’s a genius! Impressive, indeed."

"What age were you when you passed level ten?" Leilei looked at Ji Yunhuan.

"I haven’t passed it yet," Ji Yunhuan said honestly.

Leilei couldn’t believe it and glanced at her uncle, wondering if her uncle was sabotaging her.

Ji Yunhuan said, "But, that’s not important! Playing the piano is about enjoying it, not just passing grades."

Her words made Leilei fall into silence. "It’s because I’m not serious enough that Daddy and Mommy argue. So I want to work hard to pass level ten. Then Mommy will be happy."

"..." Ji Yunhuan felt a pain in her heart. "It’s not like that. Adult matters don’t involve you."

After a brief chat, Ji Yunhuan discovered that Leilei didn’t particularly like the piano. For her, learning the piano seemed more like a responsibility.

Leilei looked at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan asked, "Do you have a violin at home?"

"Yes."

Ji Yunhuan glanced at Qi Cheng. He pressed the service bell, asking the servant to bring the violin.

Ji Yunhuan sat aside, tuning the violin, while Leilei watched curiously. "Aren’t you going to play the piano?"

"Not today." Ji Yunhuan looked at Leilei. "Today, you will be a good listener! Aunt will play the violin just for you."

Leilei sat beside Qi Cheng. "Okay."

Obviously, she was someone who enjoyed listening.

Ji Yunhuan tuned the violin, standing by the window.

In her eyes, the violin had always been a more beautiful instrument than the piano.

Qi Cheng sat aside, appreciating her performance, recalling when she played in a bar to attract his attention...

Whenever she was linked to the violin, this woman seemed to transform.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

And she seemed unaware, simply enjoying the music...

The car stopped in the yard. The second sister-in-law helped the eldest sister-in-law out of the car, constantly complaining, "You’re really crazy, drinking so much."

The eldest sister-in-law got out. Seeing her condition, the second sister-in-law was worried she might fall, and called for a servant. "Someone come, help me."
