CHAPTER 1271: CHAPTER 248: UTTER DEFEAT, ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE

Yi Peilan glanced with a smile at Yun Ya, Yun Ya smiled back sweetly, Yi Peilan snorted coldly, thinking, you want me to play the villain? Quite the clever move.

Song Jinwen was momentarily at a loss, Ji Yunya was truly slippery, passing the problem back to Yi Peilan.

Yi Peilan chuckled, "Yes, Miss Ji, I wouldn’t have thought of it if you hadn’t mentioned it. Why are you kneeling to her? You should be pleading with me. The video where you readily agreed is still on my phone. If I accidentally post it online, oh hoho, I believe you’ll become quite famous in half a day. If you beg me, perhaps I’ll have a change of heart and let you off?"

Song Jinwen silently gritted her teeth, had these two women planned this in advance? How infuriating...

Song Jinwen felt her temples throb, her mind was in a daze, she thought everyone was laughing at her, mocking her current disgrace, and finally, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted completely.

"Jinwen, what’s wrong?" Dongfang Yi rushed over to support her, "Is the ambulance here?" With that, she and another person quickly carried Song Jinwen out.

Before leaving, Dongfang Yi turned her head to look at Jiang Hanbi: "Miss Jiang, please take care of the scene for me, I’ll be back soon."

"Don’t worry." Jiang Hanbi agreed readily.

Yi Peilan rolled her eyes, fainting at the perfect timing, must be deliberate.

Jiang Hanbi stood up and walked to the center to calm the scene; Yun Ya was exhausted, being held by Yan Song, who brought her back to her seat. The other ladies couldn’t help but sneak glances; this man truly stands by Ji Yunya, feeling both envy and jealousy, but thinking about how beautiful Ji Yunya is, how well she plays the piano, not even Song Jinwen is her match, they began to feel a sense of inadequacy.

"Miss Ji’s piano playing is truly awe-inspiring, a real eye-opener. May I ask who taught Miss Ji? I’ve not heard before that Miss Ji played so well." Jiang Hanbi asked with a smile.

All eyes fell on Yun Ya, even Yan Song was puzzled, it seemed he knew too little about Yun Ya.

Yun Ya smiled, her face was pale but her eyes were steady and bright, more dazzling than all the other ladies present combined.

"When I was young, my mother invited Teacher Gorris to teach me piano, unfortunately, at that time I was young and immature, disappointing Teacher Gorris. I’ve never touched the piano in all these years, it’s quite embarrassing to say." Yun Ya shook her head and said.

The room gasped, Gorris? That world-renowned piano master, to think he was once Ji Yunya’s piano teacher? Gorris’s status now, even teaching the Princess of Country Y would be an easy task.

Indeed, truly a great student of Gorris, she easily outshone Song Jinwen. Song Jinwen was known as a piano prodigy, but look at Ji Yunya, this is true hidden talent.

If it were anyone else, it might be bragging, but after Ji Yunya’s earlier performance, no one doubted her words.

Jiang Hanbi’s smile was a bit forced, Ji Yunya really is... leaving her without words, recalling Dongfang Yi’s instructions earlier, Jiang Hanbi smiled, "Miss Ji is multi-talented, quite admirable. Who would like to compete next?"

A young girl of eighteen or nineteen stood up, "I’ll go."

She looked decent, but her haughty expression was just like Song Jinwen’s. She was one of Song Jinwen’s people, instructed today to trouble Ji Yunya.

She pointed at Ji Yunya, "Since Miss Ji is multi-talented, your chess skills must also be good, are you willing to accept my challenge?"

This girl named Yuan Yi, her grandfather is a famous Go master, once representing the country at the Spring and Autumn Cup World Go Championship, winning the world champion’s trophy. Yuan Yi might not excel in other areas, but she inherited her grandfather’s talent in Go, winning the runner-up in the children’s Go competition at a young age, gaining fame early, and she’s never lost in Go.

Ji Yunya plays the piano well, but that doesn’t mean she’s good at Go. Yuan Yi was determined to avenge Song Jinwen and planned to embarrass Ji Yunya today.

Seeing her point out Ji Yunya, everyone understood what was going on, and all looked at Ji Yunya, some disdained, some were expectant, maybe Ji Yunya would surprise them.

Yan Xing looked at Ji Yunya with concern, "Sister Yun Ya..."

Yun Ya felt she had regained a lot of strength, just about to speak, Yan Song took her by the shoulder, letting her look at him, "You’re very tired. Leave the rest to me."
