Old Master Mu had indeed come to see Shen Jing, but seeing Qiao Boyue's frozen expression, he didn't want to dampen her spirits too much. Knowing that Qiao Boyue had entered the traditional Chinese Art competition, he gave her a few words of encouragement before leaving.
Qiao Boyue's face stiffened.
Ten minutes later, the Arts Festival began. Principal Liu took the stage to say a few words before leaving. The emcee took over, saying, "Next, we invite student representative Shen Jing to come onstage for a speech!"
Upon hearing this, the students in the audience had mixed reactions. "Shen Jing? How did she become the student representative?"
"The student representative's speech is supposed to be bilingual, in English and Chinese. Can Shen Jing speak English? Why isn't it Qiao Boyue going onstage? She gave the speech last year."
