The night is getting darker.

Xue family.

Shengshi Investment is understandable.

But the Shangguan Consortium and Yun Jin are quite puzzling.

But the Shangguan Consortium wanted to expand into the film and television industry, and despite having better scripts, they chose "Drunken Rouge" instead?!

Xue Qingwan turned to look at her mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, I've finally come back for a visit. Stop nagging about that country bumpkin all the time. Are you trying to make me lose my appetite?"

After glancing at the news, Xue's mother's gaze returned to Xue Qingwan.

She laughed and put a piece of fish into her bowl, saying, "You'll be an intern at Yun Jin's embroidery workshop soon, why are you still so temperamental?"

"Gu Qingyan is just lucky," Xue Qingwan said sourly.

Even she, the second young lady of the Xue family who entered Yunjin on her own merit, had to queue up according to the rules if she wanted to buy a Yunjin haute couture dress.

All the costumes for the "Drunken Rouge" production were designed and hand-sewn by the Yunjin senior team.

Gu Qingyan just happened to be acting in the show.

Xue Qingwan's words also interrupted Old Mrs. Xue's thoughts.

"Mom, I even got praised by the teacher this time! I made it into the top five in the assessment and made it to the finals. You guys have to come see me then!"

"Our Qingwan is still the best." Upon hearing this, a faint look of doting affection appeared on Grandma Xue's wrinkled face. "She'll bring us first place."

"But I won an award this time," Xue Qingwan said, tilting her head.

"What award?"

"If you don't go, I won't tell you?"

Grandma Xue couldn't help but laugh, "You silly girl, you're always spoiled by others. Alright, I'll participate."

"What are you saying, Mom? Daughters are meant to be pampered."

Mother Xue retorted unhappily.

The atmosphere in this family is incredibly warm and cozy.

Xue Wen ate his meal silently, without saying a word, his mood somber.

Xue Qingwan glanced at him and saw that his phone screen was displaying that news article. She couldn't help but mutter, "Look, I didn't want to pay attention to it, but there's news about it everywhere."

Madam Xue followed her gaze and saw that Xue Wen had already turned off the screen. She said sternly, "Don't be envious. If you get in this time, you'll have the opportunity to become Master Wan's apprentice. Once she appreciates you, you'll be the one everyone envies."

"What do I have to envy about her!" Xue Qingwan sneered. "I was born the second young lady of the Xue family and have been learning embroidery since I was a child. I'm even taking the entrance exam for the Yun Jin embroidery class now. Gu Qingyan can't even get in touch with her. She's just lucky now."

"How dare you compare yourself to someone like Gu Qingyan?" Old Madam Xue said sternly, displeased. "You two siblings, remember this: she's not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

Xue Wen disagreed with these words, but did not refute them.

When Xue Qingwan heard Old Madam Xue say this, she arrogantly raised her chin, her eyes filled with contempt, and said, "Grandma, I know."

"Have you said enough?" Old Master Xue shouted. "Even eating can't shut you up."

Xue Wen quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Isn't Qingwan going to the embroidery class soon?"

Xue Qingyan's eyes flickered, and she nodded in agreement.

Xue Wenwen said gently, "Prepare your work well for the finals and strive to stand out."

Xue's mother chimed in, "Just focus on preparing your work and don't worry too much about other things."

At this point, Old Mrs. Xue couldn't help but glare at her, feeling incredibly annoyed.

She looked at Xue Qingwan with exasperation, "You must perform well this time and not let us down. Once you get in, there will be plenty of opportunities."

The embroidery class was founded by Yun Jin to encourage young people to carry on the art of embroidery. An embroidery competition is held every year, and the top twenty winners get to intern at Yun Jin.

A year ago, Xue Qingwan was recommended by the people of Yunjin to take the exam because of one of her works.

The Xue family had high hopes for her.

Yun Jin has a special relationship with Zhongzhou. Her previous works were exhibited in Zhongzhou by Yun Jin and attracted the attention of many forces.

If Wan Fu were to accept him as her last disciple, the Xue family's future would be immeasurable.

But no one expected that Xue Qingwan would ignore even the person who recommended her to participate in the competition, let alone gain Wan Fu's favor.

During that year, not a single decent piece of embroidery was produced.

Whether I can get into the embroidery class is still unknown.

That year, the Xue family used the excuse that Xue Qingwan had been chosen by an embroidery class to attract many families to their side, and they made a lot of money.

If she loses this competition, the Xue family will suffer huge losses. Not to mention losing face, they will probably be laughed at and unable to establish themselves in the capital.

Old Mrs. Xue's eyes were cloudy, but her gaze was extremely sharp. "During this time, stay home and focus on your work. Don't go anywhere."

Xue Qingwan's expression changed slightly, and she obediently replied, "Okay, Grandma."

Seeing her like this, Old Mrs. Xue's expression softened a little.

Unfortunately, Xue Qingwan's skills were not up to par.

Right now, if we want to connect with people in R Continent, we can only hope that Xue Qingwan will live up to expectations.

Mother Xue put a piece of pork rib into Xue Wen's bowl. "What's going on between Sheng Xuanyue and that An family girl?"

"To cover up that incident, Sheng Yuchuan went to help her out that day. An Shaojie happened to be there too, so they used the fiancé as a gimmick to suppress public opinion," Xue Wen said calmly. "She's in a very bad state right now. I don't know how Gu Qingyan managed to survive all that before without breaking down. That's quite impressive."

"How could she not be formidable?" Old Mrs. Xue sneered. "She's even gone to great lengths to save face."

At the dinner table, everyone except Xue Wen, who frowned, agreed.

Gu Qingyan truly lacked self-awareness.

Not wanting to talk about this person anymore, Xue's mother changed the subject and said to Xue Wen, "During this time, you should take your sister out to show her face more often."

Xue Wen nodded slightly.

Grandma Xue thought for a moment, "If there's nothing much going on, spend more time with Yueyue to build a relationship. You two are going to get married in the future, so take her to R Continent for a trip."

Before entering the entertainment industry, Sheng Xuanyue studied in R continent, where she learned acting from many famous teachers.

Her teachers all valued her highly.

Xue Wen said, "Yueyue will come with Brother Yuchuan tomorrow to express her gratitude."

Grandma Xue smiled and said, "I like Yueyue more and more. She is well-mannered and considerate in everything she does."

Grandma Xue completely understood Sheng Xuanyue. She didn't like Gu Qingyan because she took away what originally belonged to her as soon as she came back.

Moreover, this opponent doesn't act like an opponent at all, and is always embarrassing others in public. As the older sister, Sheng Xuanyue also loses face.

From Old Madam Xue's perspective, it was perfectly reasonable for Sheng Xuanyue to use some underhanded tactics to get Gu Qingyan to leave the entertainment industry.

After all, Gu Qingyan has nothing to offer besides her face, so she might as well retire from the entertainment industry and get married sooner rather than later.

……

R Continent.

Phantom base.

Shangguan Du and Shi Qiansi emerged from the underground research lab.

Three or four researchers followed behind, discussing some details.
