Chapter 25: He Is Not Worthy!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the Qin family’s living room.

Qin Jiatong and her parents sat around and chatted.

The atmosphere was harmonious until a figure slowly appeared at the door.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

After the atmosphere froze for a moment, Qin Jiatong stood up with a face full of surprise.

She turned around and said, “Sister, you’re finally back. I was just telling Dad that you would definitely come back. Dad, look, I was right, right?”

She had a charming smile on her face, complimenting her playful winks.

She was showing off her coquettishness!

It was very obvious that Father Qin had fallen for her trick.

Qin Yiyi smiled brightly.

“You little girl, you’re still acting coquettishly in front of Dad. How old are you? You’re not ashamed?”

“No matter how old I am, I’m still Daddy and Mommy’s daughter. Anyway, Daddy, you have to say that I’m right.”

“Alright, alright. Our Tongtong is right.”

Father Qin shook his head with a doting smile. He then looked at Qin Yiyi, who was standing at the door and leaning against the door frame without moving.

He raised his long eyebrows and spoke in a rather authoritative manner. “Since you’re back, come on in. Have a good chat with your mother and your sister. Are you just gonna stand there like a wooden stick?”

Qin Yiyi shrugged. “I saw that you guys were chatting quite well. You’re lacking an audience.”

Look at how kind she was?

“Why did you come back? Isn’t it enough to harm your sister?”

It was Qin Yiyi’s mother who spoke up at this moment.

With a dark expression, she looked at Qin Yiyi and sneered twice before turning her head away. “Old Qin, you don’t know. This girl has become so bold and shameless. Not only did she cause our Tongtong to almost be disfigured, she actually talked back to the teachers in school and fought with the hooligans outside. She has completely ruined our Qin family’s face.” She paused for a moment. Her voice was harsh as she continued, “Did she really think that she had become a celebrity? Didn’t she say that she didn’t care about the Qin family? Why did she come back now? Has she come back to beg us?”

“Mom, don’t talk about Sister like that. She really wanted to come back to see you guys.”

Qin Jiatong looked obedient as she tried to persuade her. “Mom, look. Sister has realized her mistake, right Sister?”

As she spoke, she winked at Qin Yiyi. Her meaning was obvious.

What’s wrong with admitting your mistake for your parents’ sake?!

Just as Qin Yiyi was about to speak, the sound of a cleaning lady came from the courtyard.

“Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, Second Miss… Ah, the Eldest Miss is here too. Mr. Qin, there’s Mr. Ma outside looking for you.”

“Hurry and let him in.”

After Father Qin finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and stood up abruptly.

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll go myself.”

Mother Qin watched her husband go out, and she turned around to glare at Qin Yiyi.

“You’d better behave yourself later. If you offend a distinguished guest, watch how I’ll deal with you!”

A distinguished guest?

Qin Jiatong had unknowingly walked to Qin Yiyi’s side and explained to her with a kind face, “Sister, you might not know this, but Father has helped us hire an expert. I heard that he is very famous internationally, and Father had to spend a lot of effort to invite him over, so he wanted him to teach us…”

“Sister, we are the daughters of the Qin family. Not to mention that we are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and art, but we should at least learn something about painting too.”

“I like painting, so I thought that Sister would also like it very much. Sister won’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands, right?”

When she said this, she playfully stuck out her tongue at Qin Yiyi.

Her words were apologetic, but her actions…

Qin Yiyi didn’t even raise her eyelids as she looked at the mother and daughter in the living room. She heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind.

Mostly, it was Father Qin who was speaking. The other party only responded with an ‘ah’ occasionally.

It could be seen how perfunctory the other party was.

But even so, Father Qin didn’t get angry. His words were filled with caution.

This made Qin Yiyi raise her eyelids. Her father had always been someone who wouldn’t wake up early without benefits.

To be able to curry favor like this, it must mean that this person’s identity was extraordinary!

“Jiatong, this is Master Ma. The two of you should come over and chat with Master Ma. Jiatong, you have to treat Master Ma well, okay?”

“Don’t worry, Dad. I will definitely do that.”

Qin Jiatong took the tea in her hand and said respectfully, “Please, Master Ma.”

“Oh, thank you, young lady.”

Master Ma was in his fifties and had taken excellent care of himself. He looked to be in his forties.

He sized Qin Jiatong up.

His gaze fell on Qin Yiyi, who was sitting on a chair not far away with her legs crossed.

“Is this Miss Qin?”

“It’s my sister. My sister and I would like to…”

“Why didn’t she stand up to greet me?”

Master Ma’s face suddenly darkened and his voice was very unpleasant. “Miss Qin’s personality is indeed not good. She doesn’t even have the slightest bit of respect for her teacher and lacks manners. It can be seen what kind of knowledge she has learned over the years. Also, Mr. Qin, I like Second Miss Qin very much because she is cute and well-behaved. It will definitely be no problem for me to take her in as a disciple. As for Eldest Miss Qin, I will not take her in because of her character and her talent. I’m afraid I won’t be able to teach such a student.”

“Yes, yes, Master Ma, please don’t be angry. This eldest daughter of mine has always been very stubborn. Her father and I have been looking after her for so many years, but we haven’t had any results. Just now, I even scolded her for not behaving properly. She’s not even a bit talented in her studies. Actually, even if Master Ma didn’t say it, we wouldn’t dare to let you take her in as your disciple. But our Tongtong, she is very smart. Moreover, her paintings are very beautiful. Even her school teachers praise her…”

“Mm, then I’ll take in Second Miss.”

Master Ma sat there, his aura rather imposing.

Qin Jiatong was very happy when she heard this, but on the surface, she looked worried for her sister.

“Master Ma, my sister is actually very good. Will you please take her in?”

Her eyes rolled as she reached out to pull Qin Yiyi’s sleeve.

“Sister, quickly come over and properly apologize to Master Ma. Say a few good words. Perhaps Master will be happy and take you in as an in-name disciple?”

“Sister, listen to me. Master Ma is an internationally famous painting master that Father specially Invited.”

Qin Yiyi gently moved his arm, causing Qin Jiatong’s movement to miss.

She lazily yawned and stretched her waist as she stood up. Her indifferent gaze swept across the people in the room. Finally, she chuckled and slightly lifted her red lips as she said indifferently, “He wants to be my master? He is not worthy!”

When Master Ma heard these words, his face turned ashen. He raised his hand and pointed at Qin Yiyi.

“Outrageous! You little brat, you actually dare to boast like this? I think your Qin family doesn’t even have the intention to acknowledge me as your master!”

“Are you playing with me? Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, I will take my leave first.”

After saying this, he actually stood up, glared at Qin Yiyi, and left with a dark face.

Behind her, Mrs.. Qin’s face turned green with anger, and she raised her hand to slap Qin Yiyi in the face.
