“I got it, I got it. So long-winded.”

After Zhong Shenglin and Nance were done with the hotpot, they hurriedly opened the windows to let in some fresh air.

After returning to his desk, Zhong Shenglin glanced at Nance and said slowly, “Anyway, A.M. is organizing a compet.i.tion for you, but whether you can find a successor you like is up to you.”

“You don't have to worry. I'll come and visit on the day of the compet.i.tion,” Nance said.

“Okay, then remember to change your clothes.”

Hearing Zhong Shenglin's words, Nance was about to refute when he heard Zhong Shenglin say while sizing him up gloatingly,, “Otherwise, it's one thing if someone is willing to be your heir.”

Nance was speechless.

The day before the third round of the International Musicians' a.s.sociation's selection.

Mr Qin furrowed his eyebrows. He did not expect to see Qin Youjiao and an unfamiliar girl the moment he returned home.

“…Youjiao?”

In the blink of an eye, Mr Qin glanced at Mrs Qin beside him and instantly knew what was going on.

However…

At this moment, Mr Qin's had mixed feelings and he did not express affection to his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Back at the old mansion, Qin Youjiao had unintentionally revealed that Pei Yunge had gotten first in the compet.i.tion by cheating. He still remembered it clearly.

However, in his impression, although Jiaojiao was spoiled and willful occasionally, she was pure and kind. She was considerate of her parents and was friendly with her cla.s.smates.

But now, why would she treat Ge'er like this…

“Dad, you're back. I'm going to partic.i.p.ate in the third round of the International Musicians' a.s.sociation's selection tomorrow. I wanted to come and visit you.”

Qin Youjiao went forward and said with a smile.

At this moment.

The girl beside her said politely, “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Qin. I'm Ling Jiwei from Year Two Cla.s.s Seven, Jiaojiao's good friend.”

“h.e.l.lo.”

After some time, Mr Qin realized something and could not help asking, “Are you in the same cla.s.s as Ge'er?”

Ling Jiwei did not expect Mr Qin to ask this.

“Yes.”

Ling Jiwei immediately changed the subject and said with a smile, “It's very difficult to fight for the spot in the International Musicians' a.s.sociation. Among her age group, only Jiaojiao has progressed to the second round. In the future, if Jiaojiao can enter, she will definitely be able to help Uncle a lot.”

Hearing that the topic had s.h.i.+fted to Qin Youjiao, Mr Qin did not know what to say.

Seeing this, Qin Youjiao suddenly asked.

“Dad, are you angry with me because I told you that Yunge got first in the exam?”

“I'm not angry.”

Looking at his daughter whom he had doted on for almost twenty years, Mr Qin sighed.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable.

“What's wrong?”

Hearing this, Ling Jiwei could not help looking at Mr Qin and Qin Youjiao in confusion.

However, it wasn't long before Ling Jiwei roughly guessed why.

This Pei Yunge was really a disaster.

She had already s.n.a.t.c.hed away Youjiao's brothers and was now bewitching Youjiao's father.

“Uncle Qin, Youjiao has never bullied Pei Yunge. On the other hand, Pei Yunge even slapped Youjiao in front of so many people in school.”

Ling Jiwei turned to look at Mrs Qin. “Aunt saw this too.”

Hearing this, Mr Qin's eyes changed and he immediately looked at Qin Youjiao. “Jiaojiao, really?”

There were tears in the corners of Qin Youjiao's eyes as she bit her lip.

“I already said that Jiaojiao is the one getting bullied.”

Mrs Qin walked over, her tone filled with gloom and resentment towards Pei Yunge. “Just because she's the legitimate eldest young lady of the Qin family, she can hit Jiaojiao in front of me.”

Ling Jiwei immediately agreed. “Aunt is right. And the results of the compet.i.tion. Uncle Qin, do you think a person with poor results in the past can suddenly get full marks?”
