Zhou Zhou's eyes widened. Thinking that he had made a mistake, he rubbed his eyes and turned to look again...

The girl was dressed in a light blue sports attire. Her familiar hazy eyes also turned in his direction following his voice. Their gazes locked. Zhou Zhou sucked in a deep breath in shock.

With Sister Xi here, why did the Xue family use all sorts of methods and even pulled strings to seek me out?

The servant standing beside him explained, "Mr. Zhou heard the piano music when he arrived and so he came over..."

Zhou Zhou was the Xue family's most important guest today. Hence, Liu Yiqiu had ordered the servant to definitely treat him with courtesy.

Therefore, the servant could not stop him when he said that he wanted to come up, resulting in the current scenario.

Since he was already here, Liu Yiqiu could do nothing—not that she minded, anyway. Still, why does Mr. Zhou keep staring at Xue Xi? Don't tell me he fancies and is lusting over her because this lass is very pretty?

She frowned and glanced surreptitiously at Xue Yao. As expected of her biological daughter, the latter immediately understood what she meant and promptly took a side-step, using herself to block Xue Xi from Zhou Zhou's view!

Liu Yiqiu quickly moved toward him with a huge smile. "Mr. Zhou, it is such an honor for you to grace our humble abode with your presence! Shall we have some tea downstairs while we let the children prepare themselves before we proceed with the assessments?"

She had already informed Zhou Zhou beforehand about the addition of a few more people for the assessment.





But, to assess Sister Xi?

Zhou Zhou gulped. "No. No need."

Liu Yiqiu paused. "No need for tea? Then, shall we start the assessment now?"

She had already heard before that Zhou Zhou was the type to cut to the chase without wasting time, but she did not expect him to be this hasty.

Since that was the case, she decided to go straight to introductions. "Alright, then, let me introduce to you the four people taking the assessment today."

She pointed at Xue Yao and said, "This is my daughter, Xue Yao. She has already passed Grade 10 in Piano and she is looking to further her studies under your tutelage. She is a hardworking person and she is good in her studies. You can take your time to test her on her skills! Yaoyao, go play a piece first."

Xue Yao promptly stepped forward and said in an obedient and humble manner, "Mr. Zhou, I hope you will give me a chance!"

She then moved over to the piano and took a deep breath before playing the music piece she had practiced fluently.

The music resounded in the air smoothly.

Zhou Zhou finally regained his senses too. While listening, he occasionally sneaked glances at Xue Xi.

Meanwhile, after Liu Yiqiu had finished introducing Xue Yao, she turned to look at Madam Xia. When she saw the latter giving her an ingratiating gaze, her lips curled into a smile.

Madam Xia was a well-known socialite in Bin City. She was prideful and difficult to get along with. Both the Xue and Liu families were considered the mid-upper range in terms of wealth, but they were still a far step away from being considered part of the real high society.

There was a charity ball happening in a few days. If Madam Xia invited her to attend it, it could be said that she had successfully entered high society.
