Chapter 96 A Duck Driven onto a Perch

Su Mo looked at him with a serious gaze that she had never had before. "If this is the attitude you have when you make a mistake, then you are unworthy of being my younger brother."

Because he cared about Su Mo, he cared about her words. Qin Suche was really frightened by her appearance. He hurriedly came over to hold her hand, but she coldly shook it off.

"Sis..."

Qin Suche's eyes were red. Seeing that Su Mo was determined to ignore him, he turned around and was about to leave.

"How dare you leave!" Su Mo had already guessed his intentions. As he turned around, she gritted her teeth and said to him word by word, "If you dare to leave today, I will ignore you from now on."

"Sis, you don't dote on me anymore." Qin Suche stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her with eyes full of grievance.

Su Mo thought this silly child was sometimes so stubborn that he made her heartache.

Su Mo sighed and turned to look at Linna. "Linna, I apologize to you on behalf of Qin Suche. Don't be angry with him, okay?"

"Alright, I won't be angry." Linna glanced at Qin Suche worriedly before nodding at Su Mo.

Although Qin Suche was a little unwilling to let Su Mo apologize, he just pursed his lips and did not speak. However, the expression on his face had already loosened a little.

When Su Mo saw this, she smiled helplessly and said to Linna, "Thank you!"

It was almost their turn to go on stage, but because of this unintentional accident, their performance could only be canceled.

Someone had already reported this situation to the teacher, and soon someone was sent to handle this matter.

The one who came was a very famous teacher in the school recently. Before she even arrived, a roar could be heard, "Which stinky brat caused me trouble again? Is someone looking for trouble?"

When she saw the person who caused trouble, there was another heaven-shaking roar.

"Qin Suche, it's you again. Did you do it on purpose? One person has to take responsibility for everything he does. It was me who threatened you to participate in the performance. If you are not convinced, come and fight against me. What's the point of bullying a girl?"

Su Mo looked at this scene in surprise. She looked at the female teacher who was rushing at Qin Suche from head to toe before saying, "Lu Shaoqi, you once mentioned the handsome young man who is disobedient and likes to play cool, is he my younger brother?"

Only then did Lu Shaoqi see Su Mo, and then she looked at Qin Suche next to her who had a cold expression. Lu Shaoqi immediately felt as if she had swallowed a fly. "The filial brother you mentioned is him?"

"What do you think?"

Being swept by Su Mo's cold gaze, the Eldest Miss immediately had a constipated expression on her face, thinking that it couldn't really be such a coincidence.

"It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding," Lu Shaoqi said with a flattering smile after being caught red-handed for bullying Su Mo's brother.

Su Mo slapped her hand away and said, "Don't play dumb. You actually used force to threaten Little Che and forced him to do things he didn't want to do. Your vile behavior is simply outrageous!"

"Su Mo, I don't read much, so don't lie to me. Is this how this idiom is used?" Lu Shaoqi was stunned.

"If I say so, then so be it!" Su Mo glared at her.

"Alright, alright. If you say so, then so be it."

Lu Shaoqi decisively admitted her mistake and said without any sincerity, "I'll reflect on my mistakes. I promise to repent of past mistakes. This should be fine, right?"

Seeing that Su Mo's expression had eased up, Lu Shaoqi muttered in a low voice, "Look at the two of you. You don't look alike at all. Who knows that he is your long-lost brother!"

If Lu Shaoqi had known, she would have definitely bullied him even more!

Lu Shaoqi was known as the "violent queen", and there were few people in the school who didn't know her.

Originally, her image had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but now she suddenly became submissive like a wronged little wife, making everyone curious about Su Mo's identity.

Everyone unanimously felt that the one who was able to make a god-like existence so docile must be a transcendent existence.

Therefore, no matter what Lu Shaoqi said, Su Mo was too lazy to pay attention to her.

However, now was not a good time to probe into gossip. The top priority was to solve the issue of canceling the performance first.

The performance that had originally been arranged was suddenly missing one. It was not a big problem in itself, but the problem was that this show was one of the main recommended finale shows on the performance list.

It was a piano duet show of the work of a famous artist.

Many people expressed that they were looking forward to their performance. If they could not get a reasonable explanation, the parents and the school leaders would not be able to let it go.

Su Mo had no way to deal with this kind of thing, so she simply did not worry about it.

She only looked at Qin Suche with some worry, thinking to herself, "This kid has a stubborn temper. Even now, he is still silently standing to the side."

In fact, Su Mo could feel that Qin Suche was still blaming himself. Although he did not want to participate in this show, maybe he just did not know how to express it.

Su Mo walked over and looked at him gently. "Little Che, I shouldn't have said that to you just now. I apologize to you."

Qin Suche's eyes, which had been peeping, suddenly widened.

He looked at Su Mo in disbelief. Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, his eyes turned red. "Sis, I was wrong. Don't hate me, okay?"

Qin Suche's attitude made Su Mo even more heartbroken. She regretted what she had just said to him. She looked at him apologetically and said, "Alright, I won't hate you."

It was such a simple sentence that finally made Qin Suche smile.

He happily took Su Mo's hand and made a suggestion to make up for it, "Why don't we switch the piano duet to solo? I can go on stage myself."

"Sis, do you think this is okay?" Qin Suche asked, looking at Su Mo obediently.

Of course, Su Mo felt that it was reasonable. However, this matter was not up to her to decide. Thus, she looked at Lu Shaoqi and asked, "Teacher Lu, how about we change the show into a solo performance according to what Little Che said?"

Almost everyone present thought that this was a good idea.

Linna also took the lead and raised her hand, expressing her full support for Qin Suche's solo performance. The music teacher was also looking for the solo record of the serenade. Everything was ready.

However, was this really the best solution so far?

Lu Shaoqi did not think so. She looked at Su Mo and said, "If I remember correctly, when you were in school, you only signed up for the piano club."

Su Mo nodded. She had indeed joined the piano club before. She simply couldn't refuse the enthusiastic juniors, but she rarely participated in the activities until graduation.

Seeing her nod, Lu Shaoqi asked her again, "So, you can play the piano too?"

"I haven't played it for a long time."

In this regard, Su Mo did not intend to hide it. She had learned the piano since she was a child, and it was not until the great family change that she slowly didn't play it anymore.

However, Su Mo knew that Lu Shaoqi would not care about her interests and hobbies for no reason. Su Mo also did not know what this person was thinking.

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Shaoqi gave Su Mo a coquettish look. She gently tapped her fingers and smiled maliciously. Her smile was really making people panic. "You're indeed my most beloved Little Jasmine."

"Hey, let's talk properly. Don't use a honey trap." Su Mo trembled in disgust when she heard Lu Shaoqi's ambiguous words.

"Aiya, you saw through me." Su Mo exposed Lu Shaoqi without giving her any face, but Lu Shaoqi didn't feel embarrassed.

The people around Lu Shaoqi covered their mouths and laughed, but she seized this chance and asked Su Mo seriously, "Su Mo, it's time to prove that you are the national good sister."

Su Mo knew Lu Shaoqi very well and asked her directly, "What do you need me to do?"

Lu Shaoqi liked Su Mo's straightforward personality the most. She gave her a thumbs up and said, "Do you know how to play that song just now?"

Su Mo nodded, "Yes, but..."

"As long as you can play it."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Lu Shaoqi suddenly clapped her hands and decided in front of everyone, "Since that's the case, you will replace Linna and play the serenade with Qin Suche."

Su Mo finally understood what Lu Shaoqi meant. She did not object, but she really had not played the piano for a long time. She did not know if she was unfamiliar with it.

"It's too rushed. I need time," she explained her difficulty as she glanced at Lu Shaoqi.

"I will switch the order of the show to the back. You have about forty minutes to prepare." Lu Shaoqi lowered her head and flipped through the performance list.

Although forty minutes was a little short, it was already the longest time that Lu Shaoqi could fight for.

But soon, a problem came again. This time, it was all students' performance. There were no clothes suitable for Su Mo in the borrowed costumes.

Lu Shaoqi thought for a moment and said, "You guys rehearse first. I'll drive to the store to fetch it right away."

"Wait a moment."

Su Mo stopped her. She remembered that the dress she sent to the dry wash store yesterday afternoon seemed to be placed in the car. She originally planned to let Xiao Nanye take it back to Lisa today.

When Ken brought the clothes over, Su Mo was still a little confused. She thought to herself, "I should have been an audience, but why was I forced to the stage to perform like a duck driven onto a perch?"

At the critical moment, Su Mo hesitated again. She looked at Lu Shaoqi weakly and said, "Well, actually, I think it's a good idea to let Little Che perform on stage by himself."

"Cut the crap." Lu Shaoqi did not give Su Mo a chance to go back on her word and dragged her directly to the locker room.

Su Mo changed her clothes and came out. Everyone was naturally stunned by her beauty for a moment. Then, Lu Shaoqi grabbed her to the piano and let her begin to practice the song as fast as possible.

Su Mo played it a few times on her own. In the beginning, her finger movements were still a bit rusty. However, she still had a foundation. After practicing a few times, she was in the zone. Her state of mind also calmed down more and more.

After slowly recovering the feeling of her fingertips dancing, she began to practice the piano duet with Qin Suche.

The music teacher in charge of guidance stood to the side, pointing out the problem as he listened.

While they were racing against time, Lu Shaoqi was not idle either. To buy time for them, she ran to coordinate the order of the appearance of the show.

Time was always passing by in the blink of an eye.

When it was their turn to go on stage, Su Mo was still a little nervous. After all, it had been many years since she had played the piano in front of so many people.

However, when she saw the youth who was even more nervous than her, Su Mo suddenly felt much more relaxed.

She gently held Qin Suche's hand to comfort him. Seeing him look over, she smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Well played."
