Huang Xiaoyan’s eyes reddened, and her heart wavered.

But when she thought about how Father Huang believed in Jiang Wangya, and if she forgave him today, he would still stand on Lin Shuya’s side in the future. What happened yesterday would happen again and again.

Huang Xiaoyan hardened her heart and did not respond to Father Huang.

Behind her, Jiang Wangya pretended to say, “Xiaoyan, forgive your father. He’s doing this for your own good. A girl’s hot temper needs to be changed. If she marries someone else, they will despise it.”

Huang Xiaoyan smiled mockingly and returned to her room without looking back.

Father Huang frowned. He felt that Jiang Wangya’s words were a little harsh. But he probably thought that what she said made sense, so he didn’t say anything.

He sat back down and sighed. “Sigh. Wangya, it’s been hard on you.”

Jiang Wangya shook her head. “It’s not hard. It’s just that it’s all my fault for not teaching Xiaoyan well. I’m not her biological mother. It’s normal for her to reject me.”

Father Huang ate his meal and didn’t say another word.

He was thinking in his heart that the reason he married Jiang Wangya was so that Huang Xiaoyan could have a mother and let them take good care of her.

However, Huang Xiaoyan was very against Jiang Wangya.

Should he not have married Jiang Wangya?

Father Huang began to doubt his own actions.

Huang Xiaoyan didn’t speak to Father Huang for two days in a row. Father Huang was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

The next day, Huang Xiaoyan received the surveillance camera.

Qin Sheng had found it for Huang Xiaoyan. The surveillance camera was very small, only the size of a fly. Not only could it record high-definition video, but it could also clearly record sound.

Qin Sheng had given her a total of four such surveillance cameras.

At night, Huang Xiaoyan went out of her room and installed the surveillance camera in the dining room, living room, second floor corridor, and her own room.

The monitors were very small. Huang Xiaoyan had installed them in a secret corner, so she didn’t have to worry about being discovered.

Qin Churou had forgotten that the results of the Youth Painting Competition had been announced because of her disfigurement and because she was in school.

While Qin Churou was watching the video, she happened to see an art exhibition.

The host was introducing it to the camera. “This is the painting of the champion of the Youth Painting Competition this time. It’s called Regret. This painting can be said to display the emotions of sadness and regret to the fullest. The painting technique in the painting is not at all out of place. I feel that her technique is superb.”

“It’s really unbelievable that a mere third-year high school student could make such a painting. Many masters want to get to know this Sheng and also want to buy her painting. This is the first time it has appeared since the Youth Painting Competition was held.”

The host’s evaluation of Qin Sheng was very high.

Qin Churou could also see that the person who was on display with Sheng’s painting was a famous master in China.

Qin Churou was so jealous that her heart was going crazy.

If her painting were to participate in the Youth Painting Competition, she would be the first place winner, and the one on display with the master would also be her painting.

Qin Churou’s nails dug deep into her flesh.

It was all because of Qin Sheng. If she had not come back and become unlucky, Sheng would not have taken her spot.

Sheng was a name that Qin Sheng had casually used when she was painting. Qin Churou did not know that Sheng was Qin Sheng.

It was not that she did not think it was Qin Sheng, but she thought that it was impossible for Qin Sheng to be so outstanding, so she rejected it.

Qin Churou did not know Sheng, so she blamed everything on Qin Sheng.

She had also made up her mind to become Old Master Lu’s disciple.

Qin Churou had admired Qi Wenshi before. Without comparison, there would be no harm.

But now she looked down on Qi Wenshi.

If she also took Old Master Lu as her teacher, what would happen to Sheng?

With Old Master Lu’s status, she was not worried that others would not notice her talent in painting.
