166 Self-Study
Fang Jiayi didn't anticipate Lu Chen's sudden inquiry, and the question intrigued Song Ling as well. Indeed, before Jiayi returned to the Fang family, she appeared to have no knowledge of the piano. So, how did she not only learn to play but also win an award?
"After returning to the Fang family, I once noticed a piano in my sister's room. I looked up guides online and taught myself." Her response was truthful. To enhance her standing as a daughter, she had learned extensively from online resources.
"There are nurous online piano lessons. When no one was around, I practiced…"
"Later, Dad noticed my interest and bought a new piano. He even arranged for a tutor to teach systematically."
This was also accurate. Fang Liguo, recognizing her passion for the piano, had hired a tutor for daily lessons. However, they were unaware of the extent of Fang Jiayi's learning.
"Is that all? You learned it just like that? The piano is quite intricate. I studied for ten years and only clinched first place in a competition two years ago." Lu Chen didn't expect his fiancée to possess such talent. She had only been back in the Fang family for a short period and had already mastered the piano!
"That's talent! That wretched girl Fang Yuan treated the piano like an ornant and ruined such an expensive instrunt!" Song Ling's heart pained at the thought. "Jiayi is truly exceptional. She achieved second place with just self-learning!"
Fang Jiayi felt a twinge of guilt under their praise. She was well aware of her skill level. In reality, she only knew this particular piece. Although she had received instruction from other tutors, mastering the piano was challenging. Those familiar with the instrunt could discern her proficiency! Therefore, she had diligently practiced this piece to ensure a decent performance today, especially knowing that Lu Chen was knowledgeable about the piano.
In that mont, she noticed Lu Chen gazing at her even more tenderly, and it brought her a sense of comfort.
On the stage, the eighth-place winner was presenting his original piano composition.
This year's competition not only assessed the contestants' piano-playing abilities but also required them to showcase their own compositions. Consequently, individuals with high piano proficiency who lacked composition skills were excluded from participating.
Upon the completion of the eighth winner's performance, he stood up for a bow. Following the host's lead, applause filled the venue as the seventh-place winner was invited to take the stage.
Suddenly, Qiao Xinhui received a call. Her brows eased, and she softly inford her two daughters, "Your grandmother has been unconscious for a long ti. She finally woke up today. Let's go see her first. We'll be back shortly."
"Dad, Mom, go ahead and go," Cheng Yuqi suggested considerately, then the parents cast a glance at Fang Yuan. "Yuanyuan, feel free to call Mom if you need anything."
Fang Yuan replied, "Okay."
