Shen Hanxing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing the elderly couple was about to fall out and slam the table in anger, she quickly tried to persuade them. She said, “Grandma Lin, Grandpa Lin, please don’t be like this. I have no intention of learning these.”
“Girl,” Old Lin was shocked. “Do you know who I am? Do you know how many people outside there offer their houses and cars and beg me to take them in as students? And you actually don’t want to learn from me?”
“What do you have to show off?” Old Lady Lin’s eyes widened. “I’m not inferior to you either. Previously, there was a prince from a foreign royal family who wanted to learn the violin from me, but I didn’t agree to it!”
These two actually had such a background?
Shen Hanxing grew up ina slum abroad after all. After being tricked by her father to return to the country, she also married at lightning speed. She did not know much about the people and things in this country. Initially, she thought that they were simply Maestro Lin Ran’s parents. However, it seemed
that they were even more accomplished than Lin Ran?
That would make sense. If one did not have outstanding parents, it would not be possible to raise a child to the caliber Maestro Lin Ran was at.
According to Old Master Lin and Old Lady Lin, their statuses might be even more valuable than Lin Ran’s. Their artistic achievements were extraordinary.
!!
Shen Hanxing’s eyes lit up.
Old Lin and Old Lady Lin thought that she had thought it through. They raised their heads proudly. “You choose. Who do you want to learn from?”
“No, I don’t want to be your student,” Shen Hanxing smiled a little embarra.s.sedly. She looked at the two elders with eager eyes. “I’m not very talented. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, but…”
She politely poured a cup of tea for the two elders, and she lowered her head slightly. “I have younger brothers and sisters in my family. I’m sure the two of you know the one who likes to play the violin. It’s Maestro Lin Ran’s new student called Ji Ning. There’s another one called Ji Mo. He loves oil
paintings very much and is also very talented…”
Shen Hanxing asked bashfully, “I wonder if you two masters are interested in teaching them?”
She was too competent as a sister-in-law. She was constantly thinking about the future of her younger brothers and sisters. For the sake of getting a better education for the children, it was not a big deal for her to humble herself. In any case, she could not let the children suffer. And even if they were
poor, they could not skimp on education!
It was normal for the elders to be a little humble for the children!
Under her repeated pleas, the two elders, though they were disappointed, agreed to her request to occasionally guide the two children. They agreed to let Shen Hanxing bring Ji Mo along the next time they came over. Shen Hanxing stood up in satisfaction and left to take Ji Ning home.
As national treasures and world-cla.s.s artists, the two elders who enjoyed the highest of honor in the world looked at each other. They did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“silly girl,” Old Lin scolded with a smile, “She doesn’t know how blessed she is. She doesn’t think more for herself, wasting away her talent like that.”
“As long as you live happily, there’s no such thing as wasting anything,” Old Lady Lin was much calmer. She said with pity, “Look at her understanding of the music. It’s clear that she’s suffering in her heart. Now that she can find a way of life that she likes, we can’t force her to change, right?”
“I just feel like it’s a pity. Based on her talent, once she learns from us, her accomplishments in the future will definitely not be lower than yours or mine.” Old Lin sighed, “Moreover, I feel that her style is familiar. It’s a little similar to senior brother’s, but he has already stopped painting for so many years.
No one has been able to contact him. I suppose Hanxing probably did not have any interaction with him either. Sigh, I might have seen wrongly.”
“If you put it that way…” Old Lady Lin frowned as well. “Actually, I think her understanding of the violin is somewhat similar to that person from back then.”
A few decades ago, the country was in a difficult period of turmoil. Countless geniuses were born at the right time, and they experienced many hardships during the ten-year catastrophe. Many geniuses who were supposed to shock the world and be the focus of the world were gone. Even those who
survived chose to live in seclusion and had not appeared for a long time.
“It seems that we are overthinking this,” Old Lin shook his head regretfully. “How can there be such a coincidence in the world?”
The two elders sighed and thought about the past. The two of them did not speak for a long time.
Shen Hanxing did not know about their conversation. She brought Ji Ning back to the Ji family. In the evening, she received a call from Xiao Yu.
“Hanxing,” Xiao Yu sounded a little anxious. “Han Yin might have gone to look for you. If she goes to your place, let me know. Ill go pick her up.”
“What’s going on?” Shen Hanxing, who was reading, suddenly sat up straight. “What happened?”
Han Yin wasn’t the type to run around for no reason and make people worry..
