Chapter 733: Chapter 742: Divide and Unite (5)
John Gruber had already proclaid that he would choose his disciple from the champion of that year’s youth piano competition.
She was the hot favorite at the ti, greatly favored by Master John Gruber.
Yet at that ti, she had been unable to participate in the finals, so the eventual winner turned out to be—Nie Anni!
Just now, she had listened to Nie Anni’s piano performance; to be fair, whether in solo or accompanint, her technique was top-notch. Even back then, both their skills had been on par with each other, but with so many years gone by, she could no longer match Nie Anni’s level of performance.
Nie Anni rely glanced lightly, her gaze briefly lingering on her flushed cheeks and bright lips, before moving away imdiately. She had long guessed the relationship between her and Yu Zexiao. Just now, the two of them had disappeared one after the other and hadn’t co back for so long, she didn’t know where they hid.
However, that had nothing to do with her. She rely nodded slightly, as a greeting, then passed by her.
Jian Anning also breathed a sigh of relief and without further delay, turned back toward the private room.

As soon as she pushed the door open, they were about to wrap up here. Situ Xuan and Lu Jiayuan looked at her with great concern as she entered. But it was Hong Minjun who spoke first, “Hey, Anning, where did you run off to? We couldn’t find you anywhere.”
“I was just on the phone with my family,” Jian Anning continued with her prepared story, her gaze drifting, “Are you getting ready to leave?”
Hong Minjun nodded, “Yes, Director Li and the others said there’s just a little left to shoot tomorrow, and then it will all be over, and we can’t hang around any longer. Anni said she needed to use the restroom before leaving—by the way, did you see her?”
“Yeah, I ran into her in the bathroom.” Jian Anning nodded and quickly got her things in order, “Then let’s go.”
On the surface, Jian Anning didn’t seem out of the ordinary at all, but only those who knew her very well could sense that her gaze was sowhat evasive—
Situ Xuan frowned slightly, watching her, and then realized she wasn’t glancing at Yu Zexiao at all. This was too strange! Normally, even if she was dissatisfied with Yu Zexiao, she would still show him so respect on the surface. But now, her attitude was clearly different!
And Yu Zexiao, for his part, didn’t seem to care about her cold deanor at all! This wasn’t right; even if the two had a conflict, Yu Zexiao would usually make a snide remark or two, openly or covertly. He would never be this quiet!
Mulling over this, his gaze fell—and landed on Yu Zexiao’s feet, on a pair of leather shoes that looked very similar to those he had seen in the n’s restroom stalls. His mood suddenly cast with a thick shadow…
The group, each with their thoughts, walked out, while on the other side, Nie Anni had also resolved her personal issue, ready to head back.
Nie Anni and Hong Minjun weren’t staying with them and naturally didn’t need to go back with the group. With that, Hong Minjun said with a smile, “Then, I’ll take Anni to the hotel first. We will co to the set tomorrow morning; we’ll still need to bother Director Li then.”
The director, Li, was visibly inebriated, his face flushed and his gaze unfocused. Damn, the past few months of hassle had worn him out more than shooting several movies!
