Chapter 517: Winning The First Place
On the table of every contestant was an entire piece of the Master’s masterpiece. The content of the competition this time was that whoever completed the copying quickly and well would obtain high marks. After the total score was evaluated, they would be ranked from high to low.
Huo Xuan had been close to Old Master Huo since he was young. Old Master Huo was very accomplished in calligraphy. Besides the fact that he had always been especially talented in learning from others, he had also specially hired a calligraphy master at the level of an artist to practice with him before the competition.
After the competition that didn’t take too long, as Mo Zhu had expected, Huo Xuan easily stood out from the many contestants and won first place.
When he put down his pen and raised his card, Jiang Yu had not even finished writing half of the paper. Once the results of the competition were announced, the girl immediately ran back to the car with a dejected expression.
After instructing Mo Wu to stay behind and receive the award on his behalf, Huo Xuan found Mo Zhu in the audience and brought her out of the exhibition hall.
When the two of them returned to the car, Jiang Yu was sobbing and wiping her tears in the back seat in grievance. When she saw Mo Zhu open the car door, she pouted and shouted angrily, “Sister Mo, this competition is unfair. I think Huo Xuan has clearly practiced calligraphy since he was young. How can I compare to him!”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows after getting into the car and replied with interest, “You were the one who suggested the competition. You were also the one who set the contents of the various competitions. Even the rules of victory and defeat were according to you. Are you unhappy now?”
Upon hearing the girl’s words, Jiang Yu felt even more wronged. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and lowered her head reluctantly to complain softly.
As the two of them spoke, Huo Xuan got into the driver’s seat. He had always been magnanimous towards Mo Zhu’s sisters and wasn’t in a hurry to ask Jiang Yu for what he deserved from her loss in the competition. Thinking that there might be a huge commotion in Beijing in the next few days, Huo Xuan started the car and reminded Mo Zhu, “The competition has ended here. Send this girl back to Cloud City first. I’m afraid it’s not safe here.”
Mo Zhu gently placed her hand on the armrest of the back seat and pondered quietly for a moment. Thinking that it was indeed a little delayed to divert her attention to protect Jiang Yu, she nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll get Xu Huan to send someone to send her back to school this afternoon.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu suddenly raised her head and grabbed Mo Zhu’s sleeve. She sniffled and said unhappily, “Sister Mo, I’m not separating from you. You have to bring me along no matter where you go!”
Knowing that Jiang Yu was throwing a child’s tantrum, Mo Zhu straightened her expression and said in a low voice, “This matter isn’t so easy to solve. Be good and return to Jingyang High School. If you’re not obedient, I won’t have a sister like you from today onwards.”
After a pause, afraid that Jiang Yu would not listen, she frowned and added, “You know my temper. I do what I say. I won’t bicker with you about small matters usually. If you don’t listen to me on this matter, we won’t meet again in the future.”
Noticing the ruthlessness in Mo Zhu’s words, Jiang Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter. She patted her chest and calmed herself down a little. She nodded and replied reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Sister Mo, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you have to return to Cloud City to pick me up!”
The three of them went straight back to the small mansion. After handing Jiang Yu to Xu Huan, Mo Zhu received an anonymous call.
Once the call was picked up, Xing Meng’s energetic voice immediately came from the other end. “Mo Zhu, I have something important to discuss with you!”
Upon hearing that it was Xing Meng who called, Mo Zhu pressed the phone tightly to her ear and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
“Just now, when I went back to the old mansion to get the school records that I had to give to the school when I was taking a break, I accidentally overheard the conversation between my grandfather and second uncle. The Cheng family, the Cheng family!”
Before she could finish, when she heard the words ‘Cheng family’, Mo Zhu subconsciously clenched her fists and asked softly, “What’s wrong with the Cheng family?”
