Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”I’ve already thought it through; let’s send Qiu Xue to Xiang City to develop. That place is at the forefront of music development, suitable for her studious nature, and it won’t cause any trouble.”

Qiu Xue was pampered and spoiled, living in luxury, and had long developed a habit of idleness. Even when learning her art, she never truly endured much hardship, always seeking a patron or trying to take shortcuts.

Moreover, Xiang City is far from the Academy, where the training is strict, and there are rarely any holidays.

In such circumstances, Yi Yilan still wanted to send her precious daughter away, which shows she was truly determined.

Qiu Xue’s suffering pained Yi Yilan as a mother, but given Qiu Xue’s tarnished reputation, for the sake of her daughter’s future, she had to do this.

Feng Shulan was also a sensible person. Yi Yilan’s intentions were so obvious; if one couldn’t understand, then they really would be a fool.

However, Yi Yilan’s handling of the situation was rather simplistic, as if she truly thought Feng Shulan was a fool.

Feng Shulan placed the teacup on the table, her long eyes sweeping over the hesitant Yi Yilan, and said, ”Qiu Xue’s development is a big deal; you make your decision, why consult me? If someone didn’t know, they might think I’m interfering with your Qiu Family’s matters.”

As these words fell, Yi Yilan’s heart instantly tightened. She was completely at a loss on how to respond. In fact, she somewhat understood that Feng Shulan was not satisfied with her arrangements.

However, an apology is one thing, but Qiu Xue’s future is another. Yi Yilan couldn’t ruin Qiu Xue’s future just to satisfy Feng Shulan.

”Well... Sister Feng is a sister-in-law, like a mother; it is right to discuss these things with you. Moreover, Qiu Xue was raised under your watch and you know her temperament well, Sister Feng should know that the girl isn’t bad...”

Whether or not Qiu Xue’s nature was bad, Feng Shulan didn’t understand and didn’t want to understand.

What she cared more about now were the things Qiu Xue had done to Gu Tong. Gu Tong had always been prideful, enduring things silently. If she suffered at Qiu Xue’s hands, she likely wouldn’t speak up, and in the end, she would have suffered unjustly.

Recently, rumors about Qiu Xue and Gu Tong were rampant, and just hearing about it made Feng Shulan’s heart ache.

No one knew how much Qiu Xue did secretly, or how much hardship her daughter endured...

”I’ve never liked the children causing trouble. Even when Gu Tong was young, I hardly managed her, letting her be free. Now, I can hardly remember these kids’ characters.”

Feng Shulan cleverly deflected the issue with her words.

And it was a response that completely silenced Yi Yilan. If she didn’t even understand her daughter’s character, how could she remember anyone else’s child?

Yi Yilan forced a smile, her expression nearly exhausted, thinking to herself how high-level Feng Shulan’s tactics were, not giving her any chance to respond.

Like mother, like daughter, this saying was true. Gu Tong’s sharp tongue was just like Feng Shulan’s.

”Sister Feng... are you still angry...”

Yi Yilan bit her lip, deciding not to pretend anymore, and straightforwardly said, ”The issue between Qiu Xue and Li Yan was a misunderstanding... Qiu Xue was instigated by others, which is why she made such a mistake... Now, she’s thinking of making amends by leaving the Academy, Sister Feng, please don’t blame her anymore...”

She hinted at it, Feng Shulan didn’t respond, so saying it openly should yield an answer, right?
