"What?" Xu Anna looked at Yu Zihan with her mouth wide open.
Yu Zihan was drinking water leisurely, as if Xu Anna didn't exist. The old lady smiled and handed her the snacks.
Normally, the old lady wouldn't treat guests like this. She should at least greet the child. But this child was really uneducated. Not only did she criticize Yu Zihan as soon as she opened her mouth, but she didn't even look at her as an elder, not even saying hello. She didn't like such a child, she really didn't like it.
"How is this possible?" Xu Anna was unaware of this and muttered to herself. Her eyes and ears told her that what Pei Shuyan said was true.
But she was unwilling to admit it in her heart. After all, compared with Yu Zihan, her only advantage was her family background.
If I lose even this advantage and lose everything to her, how can I accept this?
The Pei family was really surprised when they saw the crazy Xu Anna. Is she sick? Why did she go crazy in someone else's house?
Xu Anna woke up from her thoughts and realized that she had lost her composure, in front of her elders.
She hurriedly made amends: "Grandma, I'm sorry I lost my composure just now. I was just too surprised." Her appearance immediately became calm and confident.
But the first impression had already made Grandma Pei unhappy, and now such an action made people think that she was scheming and hypocritical.
So Grandma Pei asked directly: "Do you have any misunderstandings about my granddaughter? Why did you accuse her right away and question her identity?"
Grandma Pei's words made Xu Anna realize the reality. Yu Zihan was indeed a member of the Pei family, and it seemed that the Pei family liked her very much. This discovery made Xu Anna clearly understand that she had to give her all in tomorrow's competition.
"Grandma, it's not what you think. We just had some minor friction when we first met. The rest is nothing." After she said that, she looked at Pei Shuyan, hoping that she could speak for her in front of the elders.
But Pei Shuyan is such a sister complex that it’s already kind enough for her not to kick her when she’s down, so how could she help her?
"Well, since you don't care about this matter, let's just forget about it. I'm tired, I'm going to rest. You kids, if you have something to say, just talk about it. Don't argue anymore."
Grandma Pei's dislike for Xu Anna has reached its limit, but she is also unwilling to interfere in the affairs of young people.
The main reason was that she was confident. She knew her granddaughter's abilities. It was hard to mess with just one, let alone two of them.
Xu Anna didn't care about Old Lady Pei's attitude. She was thinking about something else. She didn't want to ask Pei Shuyan for information. Seeing Pei Shuyan's deadpan expression, she probably wouldn't provide her with any useful information. She looked at Pei Shuyan and Yu Zihan, and a brilliant idea came to her mind.
"I don't think you guys welcome me, so I'm leaving." Without the elders around, Xu Anna's true colors were revealed. She walked away with an arrogant gait.
"Isn't this crazy?" Pei Shuyan said to Zi Han.
"I think this person is going to cause trouble." Yu Zihan had a hunch that Xu Anna had bad intentions. But she didn't care. Pei Shuyan and Yu Zihan shared the same view.
The two studied together after lunch, and during the study, Pei Shuyan felt Yu Zihan's excellence.
"Sister, you deserve the first place. I feel like the champion position belongs to you." Pei Shuyan hadn't finished speaking when she heard Pei Xiao say, "Oh, let me test you. I want to see how good this future champion is."
"Okay." Both of them were top students and felt inexplicably excited about taking the test.
So Pei Xiao selected a few very practical questions to test them.
Not surprisingly, both gave the correct answer. Pei Xiao looked at his daughter and niece, smiling like an old father.
The next day, the three of them went to the examination hall together. When they arrived, they were told that today's competition would be broadcast live.
Because this was the first English competition, it attracted great attention from all walks of life, and the TV station thought it was a very good event.
Therefore, the TV station cooperated with the organizers and the school to broadcast the finals live, which further demonstrated the openness, fairness and justice of the competition.
"Don't be nervous. Just perform at your usual level and there should be no problem." Pei Xiao encouraged the two.
After entering the examination room, Pei Xiao and the other two walked separately. He was a judge and the chief judge, so he still had to do some pre-competition preparations.
Yu Zihan and Pei Shuyan sat in the seats for the participating team members.
There were only eight finalists. Xu Anna wasn't far from them. As she watched the two of them take their seats, she thought to herself, "I was originally going to deal with Yu Zihan, but since you're sisters, why don't you just share the good and the bad?"
The two sat down and looked at the podium, where the staff were busy. This atmosphere made everyone nervous, and Yu Zihan was no exception.
At times like these, time seemed to stand still, and even ten minutes became very difficult to endure.
The host gave everyone some tips to pay attention to.
The judges took their seats one after another. Pei Xiao, the chief judge, sat in a separate seat. It seemed that he would not participate in the scoring, but only play a supervisory role.
Seeing the competition's arrangements, Xu Anna couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Why wasn't it going according to her plan? How would her plan proceed? She looked at someone in the press box, who happened to be looking at her.
The man nodded to Xu Anna soothingly, and Xu Anna felt relieved.
The cameras, props, and set crew were in place, and the host stood elegantly in the center of the stage.
"Good morning, everyone watching TV! The finals of the First National Middle School Students' English Talent Competition are now beginning."
Before she finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
"Now let us introduce the judges of this competition." Then there was another round of warm applause.
"First of all, let us introduce to you the chief judge of this competition, Pei Xiao, Principal Pei..." The host introduced the judges to the audience in front of the TV, and then introduced the participating team members to everyone.
Yu Zihan thought to herself, I'll buy my mother a TV when I get home. It's a shame that my mother can't see me on TV this time.
In Qingcheng, Yu Meijuan was at Lao Zhou's house. The three of them and Yu Meijuan were sitting in front of the TV at home watching the competition.
The school attached great importance to Yu Zihan's entry into the finals of the competition. The school even gave a day off to watch the live broadcast of the competition.
So Zhou Mengrui thoughtfully invited Yu Meijuan to her home to watch.
When Yu Meijuan saw the elegant Pei Xiao, her emotions almost broke down and she burst into tears.
