Chapter 1181: 1181
After school, Wen Xinya went to the teacher’s staff room .
Wen Xinya’s substitute teacher for her class was Ji Shihan . She was in her forties and had been teaching at Capital University for more than ten years . She was an older and qualified teacher at Capital University, not only famous in the school but also a top design teacher in the world . A countless number of students who loved jewelry design hoped to receive her guidance even if they failed to become her student . According to her, several famous jewelry designers in the world today were her students .
This was also the reason why Yan Menglu lost it and even provoked her in front of the class out of jealousy the moment she heard that there was a chance Xinya would be picked as her student .
After entering the school, Wen Xinya received guidance from Teacher Ji right away . Although she had a lot of knowledge, she could not digest all the teachings well . Even under careful instructions from the teacher, she fell behind .
Therefore, upon knowing that Teacher Ji allowed her to find her after class, she was full of excitement and joy while rushing to her office after school . Even if she could not become her official student, it would be great if she could receive a pointer or two .
The office door was not closed . Teacher Ji was sitting at her desk, digging through the materials . The sun shone on her profile, making her looked extremely focused . This made Wen Xinya unable to interrupt her .
Wen Xinya softly knocked on the door panel twice .
Ji Shihan looked up, took off her glasses, and smiled . “Come in!”
Wen Xinya entered the office and sat on the sofa .
Ji Shihan said with a smile, “What you said in the classroom before was great!”
She had taught many students . On the first day of school, her first lesson and her first sentence, she would only say everything once and everyone would listen attentively . But to hear it and remember it by heart, only a few students could do it each year . But… anyways, the students who remembered her words by heart had achieved great results so far .
Wen Xinya was one of those few who remembered her words by heart .
This made her have more admiration for this student .
Wen Xinya blushed . Her heart was filled with guilt . “I only borrowed your words for my own benefit . ”
Ji Shihan looked at her and smiled . “You did not borrow my words, because they did not come out of my mouth . ”

“So… this sentence, was it from anyone?” Wen Xinya asked curiously . When she first heard this, it resonated with her and she felt that this sentence was full of wisdom .
Ji Shihan said . “It was from your mother, Mo Yunyao . ”
Wen Xinya was shocked . “My mother!”
Ji Shihan laughed . Her smile was sentimental . “That year, your mother and I went to France for the first time to the French Fashion Jewelry Design Competition . Although we were slightly reputable in China, we were not known internationally . We used all means to make our way into the competition and somehow managed to pass the initial rounds . When we showed our faces at the competition, one of the famous designers there insulted us Chinese designers on the spot . He said people from China were not worthy of becoming something as noble as designers . He even demanded that we be disqualified . ”
Wen Xinya did not expect that Teacher Ji Shihan had such a relationship with her mother . She knew very little about her mother’s affairs . Not expecting to have a chance to hear a story about her mother from other people’s lips, her heart was touched and overwhelmed with joy .
Ji Shihan smiled and looked at Wen Xinya . “Our situation at that time was the same as what you encountered before, except we were facing top jewelry designers from all over the world, as well as well-known judging groups and tens of thousands of audience . It was on that occasion that your mother said those words . After speaking, some people laughed at it, some sneered at it, and some gloated . I remember the first applause was from a judge from the French royal family . He was so touched that he stood up and hugged us on the spot . ”
At that time, both the country and diplomacy were very weak . Foreigners were discriminatory against the Chinese . Wen Xinya could picture that moment and was instantly filled with pride .

Ji Shihan laughed . “It was also because of that that the judge gave us high scores in the subsequent rounds of the competition . I lost among the top four and took fourth place . As for your mother, she had a low score from one of the judges as her style did not suit his and placed second . However, her design became really famous and popular . The ‘Dragon Soul’ designed by your mother is still in the French Museum . ”
Wen Xinya knew about “Dragon Soul” . It was a set of four men’s accessories—collar clips, cufflinks, watches, and rings . The dragon totem from Chinese belief was used as the design concept which brought out a strong and unique Chinese culture . Everybody was stunned at that time as they knew that this was not the best design prepared by her mother, but one improvised by her . She made use of this method to show her patriotic feelings and also revealed her pride as a descendant of the Dragon . She managed to get back at everybody who looked down on and discriminated against China .
Because of this, her mother’s unparalleled status in the jewelry design industry of China was formed .
At the same time, Wen Xinya was also quite shocked to find out that Teacher Ji Shihan actually took fourth place at that time . No wonder Teacher Ji Shihan’s status in the design industry was so high .
Ji Shihan looked at her and smiled gently . “Your mother and I were good friends . Strictly speaking, you have to call me Aunt Ji . ”
After Wen Xinya entered the school, she did not indicate that she had any friendship with Yunyao just to see if she inherited her mother’s amazing design talent .
Indeed, she did not let her down .

In this present moment, if she were to compare her design talent to Yunyao, hers was not too bad as well . She had a solid foundation and a wide range of knowledge . She had seen the works she designed, which were quite stunning but not mature enough . She was like a raw piece of jade with a lot of potential . As long as she received the right guidance, she would surely shine brightly .
Now that We Xinya learned about Teacher Ji Shihan’s relationship with her mother, she was no longer as cautious of her . “Aunt Ji, please tell me more about my mother in the future . ”
Ji Shihan nodded and smiled . “Your mother that year was really so amazing . ”
Mo Yunyao was a magnificent woman . They always exchanged design ideas and never hid anything . She also received a lot of advice from her . When facing that lady, you would be jealous . In terms of design, one could never surpass her, so she finally decided to train at Capital University and then began teaching .
After Mo Yunyao’s death, she received her design ideas saved over the years . With her ideas incorporated, her accomplishments in design took her to the next level .
Therefore, even if Xinya really did not have any design talent, she would still take her as a personal student and teach her with all her heart .
