Chapter 158: Chapter 157 Selection
Yu Shuhua furrowed her brows slightly, saying, “Of course, she’s my own child!”
Song Qiuqiu, with a look of suspicion, exclaimed, “Ah! I am really sorry! I didn’t know… I thought you were just relatives… If that’s the case… why didn’t you go to see Qi Yue’s competition? Qi Yue had a competition today too!”
Song Qiuqiu’s face showed complete ignorance as she sincerely asked.
Hearing Song Qiuqiu’s words, both Yu Shuhua and Qi Wanli appeared somewhat embarrassed.
Qi Wanli quickly spoke up, “Are you saying Qi Yue also had a competition today?”
Song Qiuqiu nodded, “Yes! Qi Yue was in the 3000-meter run! Didn’t you know?”
...
Yu Shuhua’s expression turned awkward, and she glanced at her husband beside her, complaining, “Last night we were only focused on Zhenzhen, and forgot to ask her, that child, why didn’t she mention it to us…”
Song Qiuqiu blinked and asked, “If she had mentioned it, would you have gone?”
Qi Wanli immediately said, “Of course, we would have gone. My fellow student, do you know when Qi Yue’s competition is?”
Song Qiuqiu spoke with a smile, “It’s at the same time as Qi Zhen’s shooting competition!”
Sure enough, Qi Wanli immediately showed a troubled look, “At the same time…”
Song Qiuqiu nodded, deliberately speaking, “Yes! If you want to go, you should hurry because the competition is about to start. I’m just about to go and cheer for her! Do you want to come with me? I can show you the way!”

Yu Shuhua frowned, “This… But we’ve already promised Zhenzhen that we would go to watch her compete…”
Upon hearing this, Song Qiuqiu inwardly curled her lips, knowing it would be like this.
No wonder Yue Bao didn’t bring it up with them last night…
She must have figured they wouldn’t come even if they knew!
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Wanli turned to his wife and said, “How about this, I will go to Zhenzhen’s, and you go see Yueyue.”
Yu Shuhua looked troubled, “If it were a regular competition, there would be no problem, you can go with Zhenzhen. But today, President Chen and others will also be coming. What will you do if I am not there since you are not good with words? Just stare blankly at each other? We had not easily managed to arrange a meal together, and we’re going back in a few days. We won’t get such an opportunity again soon…”
She had originally thought this was a great opportunity and planned to actively matchmake Chen Jing and Qi Zhen.
It wasn’t that she was biased, but priorities must be set, after all, it concerned Zhenzhen’s lifelong matters.
Besides, sometimes you can’t blame parents for favoring one child, especially when the older daughter doesn’t relate to them at all, showing more dutifulness to that idle uncle than to her own parents…
“Then I go to Yueyue’s side…?” Qi Wanli again suggested.
“No…” Yu Shuhua hesitantly spoke, “Zhenzhen has been quite unstable in her recent competitions, it’s better if you stay with her…”
In the end, Yu Shuhua pondered, “Yueyue’s is just a running tournament, probably nothing serious. Besides, Yueyue herself is surely fine! Otherwise, we wait for Zhenzhen’s side to finish and then go to see Yueyue?”
Qi Wanli remained silent upon hearing this, though he didn’t speak, he tacitly agreed with Yu Shuhua’s suggestion.
Seeing Qi Wanli’s expressions also showed that he was unable to be at ease about Qi Zhen’s side. But, he felt somewhat guilty for only watching Qi Zhen and neglecting Qi Yue, especially with Qi Yue’s classmates also being present, inevitably adding to the embarrassment and difficulty.
In fact, after the incident years ago, he had always wanted to mend the relationship with his elder daughter, but he simply didn’t know how to go about it.
The elder daughter was too independent, so much so that they never got the chance to make amends, always unsure of how to interact with her properly…
