After the female judge finished speaking, she suddenly realized that what she had just said seemed ambiguous, and worried that after the show aired, the audience would use her words to stir up trouble.

She quickly looked at Chen Zhonglun and changed her tune, explaining, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just stating a fact, the clown on stage is you!"

"..."

Why does it seem like the more I explain, the bigger the misunderstanding gets?

The female judge admitted defeat to herself for being poor at expressing herself and being stubborn, then gave an awkward laugh and continued to explain, "Anyway, that's not what I meant..."

But Chen Zhonglun felt that when the female judge said that wasn't what she meant, she already thought he was a clown.

Oh dear, that damned ugly old woman!

Chen Zhonglun was already looking forward to his next meeting with the old lady; he was determined to get his revenge on her!

After a few seconds of mental adjustment, Chen Zhonglun suppressed his anger, straightened his suit jacket, and said in a nonchalant manner, "It's okay, I understand, but do you know why I'm playing the clown on stage?"

The female judge asked in confusion, "Why?"

Chen Zhonglun: "Actually, I asked to play the clown on stage because I didn't want the limelight. I wanted everyone's attention to be focused on the old lady. After all, it's not easy for someone her age to dance like that. If I went up and danced with her, wouldn't everyone's attention be on me?"

The male judge standing to the side pointed and said truthfully, "Chen Zhonglun is young and handsome, has a lot of fans, and is very strong. If he didn't appear in a mascot costume, he would probably attract half of the audience's attention."

The female judge couldn't help but exclaim, "That's fantastic!"

The male judge's eyes now held a hint of admiration: "Brother, you're amazing! We need to learn from you!"

Chen Zhonglun's mood instantly improved.

The old lady just wanted to embarrass him! Too bad, he's too clever. He not only regained his dignity but also grew quite a bit! Let's see what the old lady can do against him this time.

Two hours later, the results of the competition were announced. When Lin Qingqing stood on the stage holding the trophy, her face was full of joy.

Chen Zhonglun sat in the audience clapping, looking at Lin Qingqing, his expression similar to Lin Qingqing's.

He wasn't happy for Mrs. Lin's award, but for the athlete he coached; now he could add another honor to his profile on the official website.

The host looked at the elderly lady, who was only eighty years old but looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, and politely smiled as he said, "Grandma, please give your acceptance speech."

The host, worried that the elderly woman might not be able to hear him, bent down and spoke in a louder voice right next to her ear.

Lin Qingqing was so shocked that she trembled all over.

I wasn't deaf before, but I almost lost my right to hear the beautiful sounds of the world on the spot.

Lin Qingqing smiled slightly and reminded her, "I'm not hard of hearing, you can speak at a normal volume."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Grandma."

"It's nothing." Lin Qingqing took the microphone, cleared her throat, and gave her acceptance speech: "I created the entire dance for this competition all by myself. Thank you for your recognition. I also want to thank Chen Zhonglun. This young man worked hard on stage to play the clown and make everyone laugh. Although his performance wasn't very funny, I still thank him. Thank you for your hard work and for your understanding."

Chen Zhonglun: "!!!"

Chen Zhonglun really wanted to sew the old lady's dead mouth shut right now!

After hearing the truth from Grandma Lin, the three judges on the side all turned to look at Chen Zhonglun, who had just said he was sacrificing himself to help the old lady fulfill her dream.

This is a scam! It's a complete scam!

Not a single word he said was true. Chen Zhonglun was deceiving their feelings and just bragging!

As the three judges turned their heads back, they simultaneously let out several light snorts filled with obvious sarcasm.

Chen Zhonglun slumped in his chair, covering his face with his hands, not wanting to speak at all. He even wanted to have the place blown up right now so that no one would know about his embarrassing moment today!

On stage, after Lin Qingqing finished her acceptance speech, the host asked with a smile, "Grandma, can you share with us your secret to staying young?"

This was a question that not only the host wanted to know, but everyone present was curious about, except for Chen Zhonglun.

Chen Zhonglun scoffed dismissively. "Young? The host's eyesight is terrible. Although Lin Qingqing doesn't look like an eighty-year-old, you can still tell from the wrinkles and age spots on her face that she looks like an old woman. What do you mean by young?"

Lin Qingqing smiled confidently: "Drink more water, exercise more, maintain a good sleep schedule, and most importantly, I actually paid a little extra for my face."

The host suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

Chen Zhonglun, sitting in the audience, thought to himself, "Heh, tech face, I hate tech faces the most!"

After Lin Qingqing finished her acceptance speech, everyone immediately understood that Lin Qingqing's award had nothing to do with Chen Zhonglun; it was just Chen Zhonglun trying to glorify himself.

The judges immediately lost interest in Chen Zhonglun.

Chen Zhonglun also felt awkward, so it was best not to say anything.

……

Evening, at the Qin family's old residence.

Lin Qingqing placed the street dance competition trophy on the dining table, her eyes beaming with joy.

Now her family should believe that she really has skills!

However, Qin He looked at the trophy from left to right for a while, and then calmly said, "It's been authenticated, the trophy is real. Grandma, how much did you pay for it?"

Qin Haishan frowned slightly: "Mom, you've been leaving early and coming home late these past few days, could it be all for this trophy? You should have said so earlier, and Butler Ding could have solved it with just one phone call, why go through all this trouble?"

Lin Qingqing shook her head, a hint of smugness and a desire for praise on her face, and said haughtily, "It wasn't bought!"

Qin He guessed, "Did you borrow it from someone? Or did someone give it to you?"

Lin Qingqing: "I won through my own strength!"

"..."

Silence fell, and the family members fell silent once more.

In terms of the mental and physical qualities required for bungee jumping, the old lady might be lucky enough to succeed.

But street dance competitions are real competitions against young people!

How can an 80-year-old woman win?

Qin He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Grandma, with your osteoporotic old arms and legs, you can't be joking."

Lin Qingqing: "I'm not joking."

Qin He placed the trophy back next to Lin Qingqing and said, "That's because those young people saw how hard it was for an old lady like you, and they couldn't bear to mistreat an elderly person, so they deliberately let you win."

Lin Qingqing clicked her tongue lightly: "It wasn't a favoritism, it's the result of the real competition, absolutely fair! If you don't believe me, just wait and see when the show airs!"

Seeing that they still didn't believe her, Lin Qingqing had no choice but to put down her bowl and chopsticks, move the chair away, and stretch her arms and legs.

Qin He looked puzzled: "Grandma, what are you trying to do?"
