Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: She’s the One Who Gave Up Halfway

”Pfft—!”

Before Qin Xin could say anything, Song Anjing burst into laughter first: ”Brother Hu, did you mean to say Class Two is anything but ordinary? That’s so silly, hahaha...”

Hu Yi scratched his head: ”Just tell me if I have any literary talent or not.”

Ao Xinghao chimed in: ”Literary talent, my foot! Our class’s performance is Yu Xiaochun singing, what’s there to cheer for? If it were Sister Xin performing, that’d be something worth supporting.”

Hu Yi: ”True... Oh well. It’d be great if Sister Xin could participate...”

Qin Xin, speechless: ”I have no talent.”

Ao Xinghao glanced at Qin Xin’s slender fingers: ”Xin, with hands like these, they’re perfect for playing instruments. You could play any orchestral instrument easily...”

He had practiced the bassoon for many years and could judge well.

But Qin Xin’s fingers were like white jade without a trace of calluses, not looking like those of someone who plays an instrument.

After all, fingers always bear the marks of calluses from long-term instrument playing.

They were still chatting.

Qin Xin’s phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, Mrs. Qin, and decisively hung up.

However, the other party kept calling persistently.

Feeling very annoyed, Qin Xin just took out the phone’s battery.

Her friends: ”...”

Sister Xin is still Sister Xin, as violent as ever.

Much later.

Several performances had already taken place at the dance party before Qin Xin finally reinserted the battery.

As soon as it powered on, a heap of unread messages popped up, all from Mrs. Qin.

”Xinxin, why didn’t you answer my call?”

”What do you think about what Mom talked to you about last time? Have you mentioned it to Mr. Nalan?”

”The Qin Family really needs support. Your sister’s surgery requires money, and your brother-in-law Lan Yingjun’s company is having problems that also need financing. As the older sister, you can’t stand by and do nothing. You can’t be so reclusive, shutting yourself away from the world.”

”Helping family is a part of being a person. Think it over carefully.”

”Let’s not talk about this today. Isn’t today your school’s New Year dance party? You should go see it, don’t always bury your head in books. Bookworms are useless.”

”Go to the dance and take a good look at your sister. She’s the finale performance on the piano today.”

”Xinxin, Mom knows you’ve always been excellent, but your sister has also become increasingly outstanding over the years. If you support her, she’ll repay you even more in the future.”

”Even though your grades have always been good, you’ve hardly developed any other talents. You practiced the bassoon for a few days as a child but later gave it up without going for any certification, which is considered giving up halfway.”

”Your sister is different. She’s persisted with piano, just passed Grade 8, and she’s also good at drawing and design, with many future development paths. If you invest well in her, she’ll help you immensely when she succeeds.”

”Xiner, have you really listened to what Mom said? Don’t be willful. This is life experience, something a student can’t simply comprehend.”

”There’s a type of student who’s high-scoring but low-ability. Don’t become that kind of person...”

Qin Xin kept a cold expression.

Didn’t reply to a single word.

She turned off the phone screen and set it to silent.

Ao Xinghao noticed her changing expression and looked concerned: ”Xin, what’s wrong? Who keeps bothering you?”

Qin Xin replied coldly: ”An idiot.”

Ao Xinghao: ”Huh?”

She didn’t know why her once-caring mother gradually turned into someone who liked to use family and morality to manipulate her.

If she didn’t help Qin Wenrou, did that make her a sinner in the Qin Family?

She now suspected that if she ever uncovered the truth and threw evidence of Qin Wenrou’s past attempts to harm her in her mother’s face, what would her mother say?

Would she say: ”That’s just your little sister being young and naive”?

Or perhaps: ”Your sister didn’t mean it, she was just joking”?
