Chapter 29： Shumen [two more] (really, just like a dream...) (1/2)
Everyone originally had doubts about this matter, but seeing the sudden change of Xue Jiayi's face, they understood more or less.
This pair of shoes is Bu Tanyan's Etaly dance shoes that were sold at a high price of millions of dollars.
No one would have thought that the shoes that Fan's huge sums of money photographed turned out to be fakes, and the real Etali dancing shoes were kept in Jiang Yu's house!
”How come you are at Jiang Yu's house.”
”I can't tell, Jiang Yu is usually so low-key.”
”Fan Danxi had been stunned with fake shoes for several months, and the genuine ones were actually in the house of the person she looked down on most.
...
Such a shameful thing made Fan Danxi feel like a man on his back, wishing to cut off his feet wearing fakes.
The surprise in Jiang Yu's heart at this time was no less than Xue Jiayi.
She never knew that there was such a pair of ballet shoes at home.
Doesn't my mother hate ballet the most!
This pair of shoes... won't it be true, it would never happen in your dreams.
Bai Shuyi picked up his shoes and looked at it, his eyes were complicated, and said, ”This is Bu Tanyan's Etali dancing shoes, why are they where you are?”
Jiang Manyi calmly explained: ”These shoes were given to me by Bu Tanyan.”
Xue Jiayi said loudly: ”Give it to you? How could she give you these shoes! These are her most precious shoes.”
Even if she had written unbearable letters, she couldn't bear to discard the dancing shoes.
Bai Shuyi looked at Jiang Manyi questioningly: ”How did you know Bu Tanyan?”
”You mean to say that our family background is very different, what qualifications do I have to know her, right?”
Bai Shuyi didn't answer, but that's what she meant.
Jiang Manyi took out an old yellowed photo from his bag. The two young girls in the photo held hands affectionately.
One is Bu Tanyan, and the other is Jiang Manyi.
”Bu Tanyan is my best friend.” Jiang Manyi looked at the girl in the photo, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, and said, ”These shoes are a first-year gift from her to my daughter.”
”Just... even if she gave the shoes to your daughter, so what? Jiang Yu is still not qualified to enter Esmeral.”
Before the words were over, Jiang Manyi turned the soles of the ballet shoes leisurely, and the long-lost ”bi*ch” letters on the soles appeared in Xue Jiayi's eyes.
Xue Jiayi panicked, and quickly turned the ballet shoes over to avoid letting others see them.
Because of her youthful mood and venting her anger, she secretly wrote such unbearable words on the bottom of Bu Tanyan's famous Etali shoes.
If these shoes are made public, her personal design for so long, her dignity as a teacher, and everything she has worked so hard to earn... will be stained.
Just like this dirty vocabulary.
Xue Jiayi looked at Jiang Manyi angrily. She saw the obvious threat in her eyes--
If Jiang Yu is treated unfairly by them today, then tomorrow, Xue Jiayi will be infamous and will no longer be a respected ballet instructor.
”Ms. Jiang, since you are very familiar with Tan Yan, you should know the classification of Esmera, the five classes of ABCDEF, and today our selection criteria are based on the standards of Class F.”
Bai Shuyi said to Jiang Manyi: ”Indeed, Huang Jiali did not jump as far as Jiang Yu. This is obvious to all, but Huang Jiali is the most suitable candidate for class F.”
”If this is your selection rule, you should make it clear before the competition.” Jiang Manyi said angrily: ”We are not unreasonable people, but don't you think that we owe all the contestants an explanation? Can people like you be able to play with the efforts of others at will!”
She can suffer any grievances from guests outside, but she will never tolerate her daughter's grievances. She must fight for reasons.
”Mom, don't talk anymore.” Jiang Yu said, ”I respect the rules and I am willing to bet.”
As Bai Shuyi said just now, there is no such thing as fairness in the adult world. She respects the rules of the game and never wants to betray like Fan Danxi.
Although Esmera is a ballet temple, not being able to enter here does not mean that her future will end.
As long as she still cherishes love, any place is her stage.
…
Jiang Manyi originally wanted to threaten Xue Jiayi with these dancing shoes, because she knew very well that Xue Jiayi could not bear such a threat.
But... Jiang Yu is a proud child, she would not want to fight for opportunities in this way.
In fact, Jiang Manyi did not leave in the morning. She had been downstairs in the tube, watching the boy riding a motorcycle and driving her away.
At that moment, in the wind and snow, Jiang Manyi seemed to see Bu Tanyan's shadow attached to the stubborn girl.
Bu Tanyan talked about how she hated ballet, how she wanted to fall in love, how she wanted to be a pop singer, this is a girl who silently dedicated her sweat to the ballet stage at dawn and late night. ...
Because, only there is the place where she shines.
Jiang Manyi suddenly realized that perhaps she could not stop Jiang Yu from pursuing her dream in her life.
Because it was a gift from her mother.
So Jiang Manyi returned home and found the Etali dancing shoes she had treasured for more than ten years. He rushed here under the wind and snow, sat in the last row, and watched her daughter's performance.
This was the first time she watched her dance, and she dreamed back many years ago, that enthusiastic and cheerful girl pulled her to dance in the empty midnight campus.
If it can't change her daughter's future, then... she will do her best to protect her present.
Jiang Manyi Bai Shuyi looked at each other for a few seconds, then put away the Etali ballet shoes, and smiled at Xue Jiayi: ”It seems that compared to your reputation, Teacher Xue, Teacher Bai values what Esmera calls more ”Rules”. In that case, I have nothing to say. Drizzle, let's go home.”
Jiang Yu quickly got off the stage and came to Jiang Manyi's side.
The mother has never been cooler than now. The friction in the morning has disappeared in Jiang Yu's heart.
She took Jiang Manyi's hand and left the auditorium with her.
Apart from Esmeral in this world, there is no stage. As long as her mother understands her and supports her dreams, she has nothing to fear.
Seeing Jiang Yu and Jiang Manyi's mother and daughter leave, Xue Jiayi was anxious, grabbed Bai Shuyi's wrist, and pleaded in a low voice: ”Can't do this, can't let her go, she will go out and talk nonsense!”
Bai Shuyi slowly pushed her away and said, ”What does it have to do with me? It's not that I wrote some silly words on Bu Tanyan's shoes.”
”Speaking so much, it's not because of jealousy.” Xue Jiayi stared at Bai Shuyi and said without a word: ”You dare to say that you are not jealous of Bu Tanyan. Or you can see that the girl may be better than Bu Tanyan, More talented.”
”Bu Tanyan is my best friend.” Bai Shuyi slowly pushed away Xue Jiayi's hand and calmly said: ”I have never been jealous of her.”
Xue Jiayi was limp all over, and her legs and feet began to tremble.
She knew that she was finished.
However, at this moment, Bai Shuyi's phone rang, and two words flashed on the screen--
”Xie Yuan.”
Xie Yuan rarely called her. Bai Shuyi was surprised at the same time, and brought a little joy. He answered the phone and said softly, ”Hey, Mr. Xie.”
...
Hearing Xie Yuan's instructions, Bai Shuyi looked at Jiang Yu by the gate of the auditorium in astonishment.
The moment Jiang Yu was about to step out of the door, she put down her phone and said--
”Student Jiang Yu, congratulations on passing the assessment of today's recommendation and successfully entering the Esmeral Art Center.”
...
Jiang Yu thought he had heard it wrong, and looked back in surprise.
Why did he suddenly change his mind.
”Actually, I just said that although our last place was given to Huang Jiali. But as the chief tutor of Esmera, I have the right to recruit outsiders.”
Bai Shuyi said very formally: ”I admire Jiang Yu's talent, and I am willing to accept her as an apprentice and guide her alone.”
When this remark came out, the audience was shocked, including Xue Jiayi beside him.
You should know that there are very few students who can stay with their tutors to instruct alone. It can almost be said that as a direct disciple who can replace them, they can teach each other what they have learned all their lives.
