Shi Miao took out her phone, and her fair, jade-like fingers casually tapped on the screen.

Two minutes later, he turned the screen towards everyone and asked, "Is this the video you're talking about?"

After watching the video, everyone's eyes flickered unnaturally.

"I told you Miaomiao isn't like that, but you wouldn't believe me and kept blaming her. How could I have given birth to such a fool like you!" Gu Qingshan pounded the floor, unleashing a torrent of abuse on Gu Yunbai.

"Ahem, Dad, we misunderstood Miaomiao." Gu Yunbai hadn't expected the truth to be like this.

The old man frowned and said impatiently, "You all go and apologize to Miaomiao right now."

Yun Rujin felt embarrassed and remained silent, sitting there, but her dissatisfaction with Shi Miao grew even stronger.

Why wasn't the full video released sooner?

Gu Yunbo looked at the girl with delicate features opposite him and said awkwardly, "Miaomiao, your father and mother apologize to you. Why didn't you say so sooner that you had the complete video?"

"Just keep your precious daughter from jumping around in front of me, or I'm afraid I might accidentally cripple her." Her voice was languid, with a hint of coldness.

"Shi Miao, what did you say? You dare to touch Xin Xin? You're completely lawless! Dad, look at what she said!" Yun Rujin exclaimed in disbelief.

"Enough! That's enough for today. If you say another word, get out!"

Gu Yanxin's face was deathly pale. She tried her best to minimize her presence, afraid that Shi Miao would reveal the ID information.

What on earth happened? Weren't the videos all deleted? And the videos released by the school weren't downloadable, so why are they still on Shi Miao's phone? Could she recover the data? Impossible, Shi Miao is just a village girl from the countryside, how could she possibly know anything about computers? Gu Yanxin racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out. And then there was the issue of real-name IDs; she just felt that Shi Miao was incredibly cunning.

Gu Qingshan sighed and turned to look at the girl, "Miaomiao, Grandpa is going back now. Remember to come visit Grandpa often when you have time."

"Okay, I'll see you off." Shi Miao nodded.

Yun Rujin's face turned ashen as she pressed, "Xinxin, what exactly happened with that video?"

Gu Yanxin lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Mom, I don't know either. I told you my sister did something heroic, but you just wouldn't believe me. The full video was deleted for some reason, so I had to show you the edited version."

"Alright, we really did misunderstand Miaomiao today." Gu Yunbai rubbed his throbbing temples and said in a deep voice.

Yun Rujin muttered in dissatisfaction, "She clearly had the complete video, why didn't she say so earlier?"

"Have you said enough? Aren't you ashamed? Xinxin, why didn't you tell us about your sister's situation sooner?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Gu Yunbai's eyes.

"Gu Yunbai, what do you mean? How can you doubt Xinxin!" Yun Rujin couldn't sit still when she heard this.

Gu Yanxin bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, and said softly, "I've been busy with my piano exams lately, and I only found out about this from a classmate."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunbai knew better than to say anything more blaming.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today. I heard that Master William is coming to H City for a concert this month. Rujin, why don't you take Xinxin to see it?"

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of things. Xinxin, you'll have to work hard to get William to take you on as his apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanxin's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Mom and Dad, I will definitely make William accept me as his apprentice!"

William is an internationally renowned piano master. If she could connect with him, wouldn't she have a bright future? H City is ultimately too small; targeting the international market is the path Gu Yanxin should take.

"Good child." Yun Rujin patted Gu Yanxin's head with satisfaction.

Gu Yanxin rubbed her fingers on her phone, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

Shi Miao, you think you can compete with me? Once I become Master William's apprentice, what harm is there in giving you the title of Miss Gu? My parents still love me; you're only fit to rot and stink in this tiny H city.

After seeing the old man off, Shi Miao did not return to the Gu family home, but took a taxi directly to a private club in H City.

I was stopped by a bodyguard as soon as I arrived at the door. "Please show your membership card."

Just then, the phone rang, and Shi Miao answered it without hesitation.

"Sister Miao, where are you?" Ji Sinian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Shi Miao glanced at the bodyguard in front of her and said calmly, "We were stopped at the entrance."

"Damn, I forgot. I'll come down and get you right now."

Two minutes later.

After recognizing the person, the bodyguard bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Ji!"

"Okay, I'll remember this. This is my sister. From now on, when you see her, you'll see me."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The bodyguard nodded.

"Let's go, Sister Miao." Ji Sinian turned to look at Shi Miao beside him.

Shi Miao, hands in his pockets, looking languid, casually asked, "You called me to help you fight?"

"My goodness, are you addicted to fighting? Who comes to a private club to fight? And do I look like someone who fights all the time?"

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tsk, quite similar."

"Alright, alright, let's go upstairs!" Ji Sinian shoved Shi Miao as they walked out of the club.
