Chapter 44 This time, she's going to win!
In an instant, the once bustling venue fell completely silent.
All eyes were fixed on Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Yansi in astonishment.
Off-screen, Xie Jinghuai stared intently at the screen, his thin lips slightly pursed.
"Banban, are you alright?!" Jiang Shiyuan looked at Fu Yansi anxiously.
Fu Yansi gently shook his head, "I'm fine... Aunt Jiang, how about you?"
"Auntie is alright too." Jiang Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Tongtong watched helplessly as his mother held Fu Yansi in her arms to comfort him. His clear black and white eyes quickly turned crimson, and his chest heaved violently.
Once upon a time, his mother's embrace belonged to him alone.
But now, that idiot Fu Yansi stole it! How despicable!
However, Tongtong inherited his father's temperament; he was born proud and would never bow his head.
Since Mommy is close to Fu Yansi and has betrayed him, then he doesn't want Mommy anymore!
From then on, he only wanted Aunt Xinxin!
Despite the unexpected situation, the game continued, and time flew by.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Jiang Shiyuan anxiously approached the referee.
The teacher looked helpless. "Just now, two children ran onto the field and accidentally threw the basketball in. By the time we chased after them, they had already run away."
Jiang Shiyuan frowned deeply.
With so many participants, how could it be such a coincidence that the basketball just happened to smash their entries?
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her voice, "Teacher, did you get a good look at the two children?"
"Um... one of the kids was running so fast I couldn't see him clearly. I only saw the back of the other one; he was a chubby little boy with a cute hairstyle on the back of his head."
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes sharpened.
The answer to who is behind this is obvious.
Her thoughts returned, and her red lips moved coldly.
This was just an intra-school competition, nothing more than a fight over food or land, yet some people resorted to despicable tactics. What's even more despicable is that they used their own son as a pawn.
She felt saddened that her child had such a wicked mother.
"Teacher, our project was already one-third complete, and now it's been destroyed. We have to rebuild it from scratch, which will waste a lot of time."
Jiang Shiyuan pleaded in a gentle voice, "Could you give our group a little more time? Just ten minutes will do."
The teacher shrugged helplessly, "I'm afraid that won't work. Actually, there are quite a few unexpected situations every year, but because there are so many participants and the competition is so fast-paced, if every participant who has a problem asks for more time, the overall rhythm of the competition will become uncontrollable and the scene will become chaotic."
"Mrs. Fu Yansi, this event is held every year. If you don't win this time, you can participate again next year. There's no need to be so nervous."
Fu Yansi...Mom?
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansi, who was standing behind Jiang Shiyuan, had bright eyes, a racing heart, and a blush on her face.
All told, he had only known this aunt for less than two hours, but he felt as if he had known her for a long time, and he felt very close to her.
Over there, Lin Zhixin overheard the conversation without revealing her thoughts, a gloating smile appearing on her lips.
Just as she expected, Xie the Big Stupid Goose made his move.
Although the method was clumsy and crude, it was remarkably effective.
"Aunt Jiang, it's okay to lose."
Despite being a young man, Fu Yansi comforted the adult, saying, "I'm very happy to be able to participate in the competition with you."
Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and held the child's hand tightly.
Honestly, she's getting a bit red.
In her life, she lost her mother, her home, her father's love, and her husband and son were taken away.
Why should she lose even in a game like this? Why should she?!
"Banban, Auntie has lost enough. This time, Auntie is going to win."
Jiang Shiyuan returned to her position, regrouped, and once again focused intently on building with blocks, her hand speed dazzling everyone!
One piece after another, without stopping, like a high-speed machine, requiring no thought at all.
Those around them were stunned, forgetting what they were supposed to be doing.
Xie Jinghuai looked at Jiang Shiyuan, whose face was covered in sweat and who was constantly busy, with a hint of disdain.
She's pushing herself so hard just to surpass and crush Zhixin.
But so what?
No matter how well you build with blocks, it's still just a way to entertain a child.
In terms of talent and ability, she will never be as good as Zhixin.
The timer has reached zero, and the game is over.
Ultimately, fewer than twenty groups advanced.
The block model built by Tongtong and Lin Zhixin received unanimous praise from the judging panel and won the highest score of the entire event!
Just as Tongtong was basking in the attention and applause with an arrogant expression, he glanced contemptuously in Jiang Shiyuan's direction out of the corner of his eye, and then his expression froze—
The other competitors were almost all crooked and shaky, on the verge of collapse.
Only the works of Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Yansi stand there perfectly intact, and in terms of scale, they are in no way inferior to their works!
"Second place, Jiang Shiyuan & Fu Yansi's team! 95 points! Congratulations to the two!"
Everyone looked at Jiang Shiyuan with a mixture of surprise and admiration.
The next second, applause broke out.
From scattered sounds, the noise gradually resounded throughout the entire venue.
"Aunt Jiang, it's such a pity you didn't get first place." Fu Yansi sighed, somewhat regretfully.
Jiang Shiyuan squeezed his small hand with her calloused fingertips. "Didn't you say you didn't care about winning or losing?"
Fu Yansi's eyes shone brightly as he looked at her intently. "I don't care about winning or losing, but I want Aunt Jiang to win. Because you are so, so very good...you deserve it!"
Jiang Shiyuan's cheeks flushed instantly.
He's handsome, sweet-talking, and has a good personality. When he grows up, he'll be the dream boy of countless girls.
Off the field, Xie Jinghuai witnessed Jiang Shiyuan's actions throughout, a hint of surprise flashing in his dark phoenix eyes.
Undeniably, Jiang Shiyuan did surprise him today; her lively and energetic demeanor was quite different from her usual taciturn self.
The man tapped his fingertips on the sofa armrest, a subtle ripple stirring in his heart.
But that's all.
"Actually, Ms. Jiang's group's work is better than the first-place group's," the city leader whispered to the principal.
"Yes, and they even had an accident along the way, yet they still managed to come from behind and take first place, which is well-deserved. But..."
The principal glanced at Xie Jinghuai and whispered, "If they get first place in the second round again, I'm really afraid Mr. Xie will get angry. If he's unhappy, the school's investment next year will be..."
The man didn't notice, but Han Xu heard it and thought to himself, "No wonder this guy is a good judge of character; he's really good at judging people."
Their CEO is just so petty and can't take a joke.
...
The parents and children who advanced happily headed towards the outdoor area.
"I didn't expect your mommy to be so amazing." Lin Zhixin smiled rather reluctantly, inwardly complaining that Xie Yuexi was both stupid and useless.
Tongtong snorted indignantly, feeling quite displeased that Fu Yansi had also made it to the finals.
"Hmph, Mommy does housework every day, her hands are never idle. If she can't even do this little thing well, wouldn't she really be a useless person?"
Lin Zhixin frowned with worry, "I'm not as skillful as your mother. I'm sorry, Tongtong, your aunt is a burden to you..."
"Aunt Xinxin, don't say that! You're a hundred times better than Mommy. You can do things that Mommy could never learn in her entire life!"
Tongtong looked at Lin Zhixin with almost worshipful eyes, "My dad also praised you, saying you are a top student from a prestigious university, you are also very good at artificial intelligence, and you are also good at games!"
"Besides washing clothes and cooking, Mommy is utterly useless!"
Lin Zhixin asked shyly, "Did your father... really praise me in front of you?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Suddenly, Tongtong's gaze froze.
Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Yansi walked towards each other hand in hand.
