"Where is my uncle?" Gu Yanxin asked the maid discreetly.
"The master will be back tonight," the maid replied respectfully, mindful of her position.
Gu Yanxin's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked as if casually, "What about my cousin?"
"Miss, are you mistaken? Madam has not given birth for so many years." The maid frowned slightly, looking at Gu Yanxin with confusion.
Gu Yanxin reached out and smoothed her hair. "Ah... because my aunt has rarely come back over the years, look at my brain, I actually remembered it wrong."
"Alright, you can go now. I'll call you if I need anything."
The maid nodded. "Yes."
Gu Yanxin closed the door, leaned against the wall, and looked at the lavishly decorated room in front of her, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
Gu Wanqing doesn't have any children. If I can win her and my uncle's favor, then I can naturally become the heir.
Gu Yanxin was pondering what to do next when she unconsciously walked to the window.
Seeing a car slowly drive into the yard, it was Gu Wanqing who had returned.
She smiled slightly, straightened her clothes, and slowly opened the door to walk downstairs.
...
"Ah! Aunt, what happened to you?" Gu Yanxin's eyes were filled with worry when she saw the wound on her wrist.
Gu Wanqing frowned slightly, subtly avoiding Gu Yanxin's outstretched hand, and said calmly, "It's nothing, I just tripped and fell."
"Madam, Dr. Zhang has arrived." The maid led the family doctor in.
Dr. Zhang came over with his medical kit and began cleaning Gu Wanqing's wounds.
"Doctor, is my aunt's wound alright?" Gu Yanxin asked with concern, pursing her lips.
After packing his things, Dr. Zhang stood up and said, "It's alright, just be careful not to get it wet."
"Send Dr. Zhang out," Gu Wanqing glanced at the maid and instructed.
"yes."
...
"Auntie, even though it's a small wound, you still need to be careful with your diet, otherwise it will leave a scar." Gu Yanxin sat down next to her and affectionately took Gu Wanqing's arm.
Gu Wanqing pulled her arm away, her voice slightly cool: "You don't need to worry about these things. Your task is to get into Tsinghua University."
Gu Yanxin bit her lip, lowered her eyelids, and cautiously began, "But my grades..."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange a tutor for you. Then you can go directly to Tsinghua University's independent admission exam. Art students don't need as high academic scores. As long as the scores are similar, I have a way to get you admitted." Gu Wanqing picked up the coffee brought by the maid, took a sip, and asked, "I heard you can also play the piano?"
Gu Yanxin hadn't expected Gu Wanqing to have so much power. The thought of being able to attend Tsinghua University made her heart pound. She pretended to be calm and said, "I'll do whatever Auntie arranges. I'll work hard. I just recently got my Grade 9 piano certificate."
Gu Wanqing nodded: "Okay, just choose the music department then, and I'll personally guide you."
"Okay, Auntie." Gu Yanxin nodded obediently.
Only after Gu Wanqing's figure disappeared from sight did she slowly withdraw her gaze.
Gu Yanxin's lips curled up, her eyes revealing undisguised excitement and exhilaration.
The thought of being able to trample Shi Miao underfoot in the future filled her with immense pleasure.

The two walked out of the coffee shop one after the other. Qin Xiao turned to the girl beside him and asked, "Shall I take you home?"
“That works too.” Shi Miao nodded.
She calmly took out her phone and sent Ye Chuan a message: 【You don't need to pick me up.】
"Wait for me by the roadside, I'll bring the car over." Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and twirled the car keys in his hand.
Shi Miao lowered her eyelids, tapped her fingers on her phone screen, and gave a soft "hmm".
...
"Where to?" Qin Xiao glanced at the girl in the passenger seat.
"Azure waters and clear skies." Shi Miao casually rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, her slender arms draped lazily over the car window.
Qin Xiao unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel and casually asked, "Tsk, where does Ji Yanchen live?"
"Um."
Qin Xiao's eyes darkened, feeling like he was asking for trouble, knowing full well that he still had to hear her say it.
He kept his gaze fixed ahead and asked, "When are we going back to H City?"
"Tonight."
"Oh, by the way, how's that pretty boy classmate of yours doing?"
“He has a name, Lu Hansheng.” Shi Miao’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
"It seems you two have a good relationship?" Qin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly.
Shi Miao took a lollipop out of her pocket, unwrapped it with one hand, and put it in her mouth, saying in a low voice, "It's fine as it is, we're just classmates."
"Alright, I'll go to H City in a couple of days too."
"Are you very free?" Shi Miao raised her clear eyes to look at him upon hearing this.
Qin Xiao curled his lip, "Damn, I also have businesses in H City. Can I go and inspect them?"
"Oh." Shi Miao casually withdrew her gaze, slowly took out her phone, found a comfortable position, and opened the game.
