“You’re here.” Feng Mo walked out from backstage and happened to meet the two of them.
Lu Si stopped in his tracks, turned Mei Shu’s wheelchair in a different direction to facilitate her greeting Feng Mo.
“Hello, Teacher Feng.” Mei Shu smiled politely at her.
Feng Mo’s worried gaze lingered on her leg. “I heard about the accident from Lin He. Has the driver been caught yet?”
Mei Shu shook her head. “Not yet, but the police are intensifying their investigation. We should have results soon.”
“That’s good. Poor child.” Feng Mo sighed softly, her face showing a hint of helplessness. “Your leg is injured like this, yet you came to watch Xiao He perform. It’s really hard on you. Go rest in the VIP seat. If you need anything, just let me know, and I’ll do my best to help you.”
“Thankyou, Aunt Feng.” This time Mei Shu didn’t address her as ‘teacher’ as awkwardly as before.
Feng Mo was momentarily stunned, then a hint of indulgence appeared in her eyes, which usually carried a stern demeanor. “Alright, go ahead and rest. When the competition is over, you and your boyfriend come over for dinner.”
“Okay, then we’ll leave first.”
“Go ahead.”
Feng Mo watched the two figures’ backs intently, inexplicably reminded of Feng Wei, who used to be obedient and sensible when she was a child.
If Feng Wei had been less stubborn back then, giving up on the hypocritical Meicheng and marrying a reliable man who treated her well, then Feng Mo could now proudly watch her daughter and son-in-law enjoy their lives.
Unfortunately, Feng Wei was dead.
Feng Mo took a deep breath, forcing down the rising crimson in her eyes, and regained her composure.
“Teacher Feng, everything is ready. You and the other teachers can go to the audience seats together and wait for the competition to begin,” the stage manager responsible for managing the entire competition ran over to inform her.
Feng Mo suppressed the sourness in her heart and nodded. “Okay, I’ll go now.”
The stage manager smiled and gestured with a “please” motion, flattering her, “Miss Lin He is a dancer trained by you personally. She will definitely be the best performer tonight!”
Feng Mo politely and distantly smiled. “It doesn’t matter what rank she achieves. What matters is that her performance tonight can justify her efforts all along. Regardless of her achievements, it’s the result of her own hard work, not mine.”
“Yes, yes.” The stage manager could naturally understand her meaning and quickly nodded and bowed, sending her off.
When the assistant hurried over, he saw the stage manager standing alone there, disdainfully curling his lips. Immediately curious, he asked, “Teacher, what’s wrong with you?”
The stage manager snorted disdainfully, his hands behind his back, pretending to be profound and unpredictable. “Some people should have stayed low-key, but they insist on occupying the position of a judge. Isn’t it just to promote their own daughter? Still pretending to be high-minded!”
“Are you talking about Teacher Feng Mo?” The assistant couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief as if she had heard some earth-shattering secret.
The stage manager quickly covered her mouth, scolded in a low voice, “Are you tired of living, or what? How dare you say such things loudly!”
“Um…” The assistant struggled for a moment before breaking free from his hand, looking aggrieved and pouting, “But weren’t you talking about Teacher Feng Wei just now?”
” When this competition is over, you better scram!” The stage manager was also angry at this moment, glared at her fiercely, then turned and walked away in anger.
The assistant felt both wronged and sad, almost crying on the spot.
She just spoke the truth, and no one heard it. How did it come to the point of losing her job!
However, what he didn’t know was that in a room separated by a wall, a figure happened to catch these two sentences with keen ears.
That person slightly hooked the corners of their lips into a smile, confirmed that there was no more sound from the other side, and then turned off the recording function on their phone.
The competition was about to begin.
Lu Si carried Mei Shu to a comfortable chair and sat her down, draping a thin blanket over her legs.
Mei Shu leaned over to him and praised him in a smiling manner, “You’re so thoughtful. The air conditioning here is too cold. I’m feeling a bit chilly.”
“Still cold?” Lu Si slightly furrowed his brows, straightened up, and immediately wanted to take off his coat to cover her.
Mei Shu quickly stopped his actions. “It’s not that cold anymore. Just wear your clothes properly. If I really need something, I’ll let you know.”
Only then did Lu Si nod, looking around before saying, “There are many media reporters here today. Be careful if you’re planning any big moves.”
“Don’t worry, there’s something more eye-catching than me!” Mei Shu smiled confidently, straightened her clothes, and then saw the host walk onto the stage, beginning to eloquently deliver the opening remarks for the competition.
This competition was attended by dancers carefully selected from all over the country.
Among them were men and women of all ages. The oldest looked to be over forty. They had all been carefully selected before they could have the honor of participating in this national-level competition in the city.
Mei Shu tilted her head slightly and saw Feng Mo sitting on the judging panel, with a dignified posture and a graceful profile. She couldn’t help but think of another person, sighing deeply.
