Chapter 73: How to be bright when you are born with beauty
"Brother, you are finally back." Chu Yihan plunged into Chu Lingkong's arms.
"Sister, you have grown up and become more and more graceful." Chu Lingkong rubbed his little sister's furry head with one hand.
"Yes, it's been three years. Brother, you haven't even come home to see me. I've already been admitted to the best high school in Beijing, and I will take the college entrance examination next year."
"It's my brother's fault. He's not coming back."
"You still know how to come back, you unfilial grandson," Mr. Chu said angrily.
In fact, when he knew his grandson was coming back today, the most excited person was Mr. Chu.
But whoever keeps this grandson from coming home for so many years will have to hang him out, huh.
"Grandpa, it's my fault. Although my grandson is loyal to the country, he doesn't have time to come back to see you often."
"Are you feeling well?"
"Humph, you know how to care about me. I'm very healthy. It's not a problem for me to jump a hundred ropes every day."
Mr. Chu looked at his grandson who was now tall and majestic, and was full of emotions.
When he ran away, he was disgusted that his father had cheated on him and killed his mother. He carried a baggage at a young age and said he wanted to join the army. A stubborn donkey could not pull back eight oxen.
At that time, Mr. Chu also advised him: "Why go? Can you bear the hardships of the army? Such a big Chu Group will still want you to inherit it in the future. If you leave, will you leave the Chu Group to your stepmother and stepdaughter? You Are you willing?"
Mr. Chu knew that he hated the mother and daughter, so he deliberately provoked him in this way, hoping that he would not make impulsive decisions and think carefully. After all, the Chu Group would still be handed over to him in the future.
"Isn't it true that I still have my sister here? I just want to give the Chu family to my sister in the future."
Mr. Chu was so angry that he looked around for a stick. He had to wake up his grandson, but how could something as low as a stick appear in the dignified and tidy hall.
He could only slap his grandson on the head with his palm and curse: "Look at you, are you speaking human language?"
"How old is your sister, and you're putting the burden on her while she's still drinking milk? Is this what you, a brother, should say?"
"As an elder brother, shouldn't you take over the family responsibility and support your sister?"
Chu Lingkong thought of his soft, waxy and fragrant sister, and felt guilty for a moment.
But he immediately strengthened his determination to go to the army to gain experience. Becoming an excellent soldier has been his ideal since he was a child.
In the end, Mr. Chu let his grandson leave. He thought that if his grandson couldn't endure the hardships of the army, he would come back soon.
I didn't expect that this journey would last more than ten years.
The rules in the army are strict, and it has been almost three years since the last time my grandson came home.
The once thin and obedient grandson has now become a strong man, and has even reached the position of general. It can be considered that he has lived up to his efforts over the years.
Although he despises Mi Tai, he is actually very proud of his grandson.
When I play mahjong with my mahjong friends, I have to show off what meritorious deeds his grandson has accomplished today. Anyway, it’s just a compliment.
Therefore, in the circle of wealthy families, no one knows that there is a junior in the Chu family who became a general at a young age.
"Oh, it'll be nice to come back safely."
"How long can you stay at home this time?"
"Probably about a month."
It didn't take that long originally. He came out this time to take over the mission.
But something happened in the middle and he was betrayed and seriously injured. After he recovered from his injury and left Siming's place, he contacted his subordinates and put on a play.
He pretended to be seriously injured and spread the news that he was unconscious, which attracted the thieves to take the bait and attack him again.
And they have already laid a dragnet nearby, making it difficult for thieves to fly.
Because of his meritorious service in capturing a major criminal gang, he was not only rewarded with meritorious service, but was also granted a month's leave.
"That's great, brother. I happen to be participating in a piano competition in a few days. Come and watch my competition and cheer me on!"
"Okay", to this sister, he, as a brother, owes a lot, and he can make up for it a little bit.
His mother left them early, when his sister was still in her infancy, and he decided to join the army not long after.
That scumbag father never cared about them, he just had sex with Yan Hong. Thanks to my grandfather, my sister was raised with all his heart.
He does not owe the country, only his family.
And the event that Chu Yihan mentioned has already been warmed up before it even starts, and it is the most popular event.
[Have you heard? Louis will be there in person for this game. ]
[Is this the Louis I know, the one who represents the highest level of piano? ]
[Yes, that's him. I heard that this competition will be held in our Dragon Kingdom. I have some gossip, it is said that the final winner can directly enter the World Piano Association and be tutored by famous teachers! ]
[Really or not, doesn’t this mean that as long as you win this competition, you can have one foot in the world-class art world? ]
[Who says it’s not, this is not only a game, but also a competition for admission tickets! ]
[No more talking, I have to grab the tickets quickly, they will be gone later. ]
[Wait for me in front, I want to grab tickets too. ]
[Why are you so anxious? I heard that in order to ensure fairness and transparency, this competition will be broadcast live to accept public supervision. You can watch it online at that time. ]
There was a lively discussion on a certain wave.
Time flew by and the day of the competition soon arrived.
In the dressing room backstage, makeup artists are applying makeup to the contestants participating in the trials.
Han Yingying's best friend A: "Yingying, you are so amazing. You must be the champion of this competition."
Best Friend B: "Yeah, yeah. I've asked about them all, and those other people are nothing to be afraid of."
Best Friend A: "If only I were as good as you, I wouldn't be called a spendthrift by my mother."
A and B are both children of vassal families of the Han family. The family's business usually has to be taken care of by the Han family, so they have always been Han Yingying's lackeys.
Speaking of the Han family, we have to talk about the distribution of power in the capital.
The most wealthy families in the capital are the four major aristocratic families, led by the Wei family. They are Wei, Lu, Lin, and Chu.
Below them are eight wealthy second-rate families, and the Han family is one of them.
As for the remaining third-rate or even low-rate small families, they usually have to look at the faces of the families in front of them to survive.
The Han family's main business is the entertainment industry, and they control the largest entertainment company in the capital. Therefore, Han Yingying has had access to the best art teachers since she was a child, and piano is one of the things she is particularly good at.
Originally, her life was supposed to be a smooth one, but what was annoying was that Chu Yihan happened to be born at the same time.
The two went to the same elementary school, the same junior high school, and now the same high school.
In addition to her outstanding grades, Chu Yihan also learned musical instruments since she was a child. The piano is also her best instrument.
This resulted in that every time Han Yingying was in the limelight, she was overshadowed by Chu Yihan.
The oldest one is Chu Yihan, and she ranks second.
During the school celebration recital, she was originally able to stand out and outshine the others, but Chu Yihan came to compete with her for popularity and glory.
It’s so hard to be so beautiful!
