“So you’ve all come together to condemn my granddaughter?” the old man of the An Family looked toward the people sitting on the couch. Despite his age, he was still the true head of the household.
Otherwise, An Toutou wouldn’t be so intent on winning his favor.
Uncle Yao’s face changed at the old man’s words. After all these years, the person he feared the most was still the elder of the An Family.
On the other side, An Toutou, with her hands twisted together, wondered if Ye Shaohua was his granddaughter, then what was she? Were her eighteen years just a joke?
“Dad, let’s take this matter slowly, but right now the Education Bureau and the internet are making a fuss, and there’s no way University Beijing is going to accept Shaohua,” An Toutou’s father spoke with some guilt, “It’s my mistake for not handling the details properly. I’ll think of a way to cover this up.”
“Yes, Uncle, don’t be too angry,” An Toutou said affectionately as she hugged Uncle Yao’s arm, “You said last time that if I did well on my college entrance exams, you would give me a set of Go stones. Does that still stand?”
Uncle Yao had always liked this niece, having doted on her as if she were his own for the past eighteen years. It was he who had introduced her to Go.
Many people didn’t know that the Yao Family had not been represented in international competition for four generations.
Uncle Yao believed that with An Toutou’s talent, she could definitely break into the international Go scene and reclaim glory for the Yao Family.
Even if An Toutou was not his own niece, he wouldn’t become distant towards her because of it.
“Of course it stands,” he said, considering An Toutou’s feelings, thus not dwelling on the issue with Ye Shaohua, “Toutou scored as the Top Scholar in the national exam this year. She’s the pride of both the An and Yao families. Looking around our circle, who could possibly compare? When are you planning the celebration banquet, brother-in-law?”
Being the Top Scholar in the national exam, something that only one person in the entire country attains each year, was an achievement at the level of the ancient Top Scholars.
It indeed was something to be proud of.
An Toutou’s mother looked at her daughter with tenderness and pride, also wanting to gloss over the recent matter with Ye Shaohua.
She had no desire to intervene anymore. Although she didn’t say it, the moment Ye Shaohua returned, she caused so much trouble. And with An Toutou’s comparison, she couldn’t help but feel some dissatisfaction toward Ye Shaohua.
She planned to find time to properly teach her own daughter, just as her brother said, to not ruin her foundation.
An Toutou remained unflustered despite nearly every gaze shifting to her. Yet out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ye Shaohua, her smile growing even brighter.
“The day after tomorrow is a good day. Shall we prepare the banquet then?” An Toutou’s father was speaking when his private phone began to ring at that moment.
Seeing that it was from the Principal of B University, his expression shifted. Could this matter have affected B University?
The others saw the number as well and did not look pleased.
As soon as he answered the phone, the eager voice of the B University Principal came through, “The person you’re trying to put into our school is Ye Shaohua?”
His voice was agitated, and Uncle Yao, who knew the Principal, was hearing such an excited tone from him for the first time.
“Dad, you’ve upset the Principal, you should talk this over with him…” An Toutou said softly, glancing over at Ye Shaohua as she spoke.
She thought the Principal was angry with Ye Shaohua.
But to her surprise, upon hearing An Toutou’s voice, the Principal said excitedly, “What do I have to be angry about? Mr. An, if I had known earlier that the student you wanted to put in our school was Ye Shaohua, why would I have hesitated?”
“Principal, don’t feel troubled,” An Toutou’s father felt that something was off.
“Troubled about what?” the Principal cut him off, “You don’t know, the Number One Scholar, notoriously aloof, didn’t take calls from anyone and directly chose University Beijing, giving no chance to other schools! An almost perfect score, Number One Scholar, principals from overseas were beating their chests with regret, but I didn’t expect you were actually planning to send her to us! Mr. An, rest assured, we will definitely do our best to cultivate student Ye…”
“Dad, Shaohua… Shaohua seems to have scored as the Number One Scholar on the national exam.” After hanging up the phone, An Toutou’s father felt for a moment as if he were dreaming.
An Toutou was pouring tea for her father when she heard the news, her hand flipping so abruptly that she almost knocked over the teacup.

How could this be?
She had asked a friend to check on Ye Shaohua’s background that afternoon. She was just the daughter from a middle-class family and attended a low-ranking school like School No. 3, barely managing to qualify for undergraduate studies. How could she have suddenly turned into the Number One Scholar overnight?
An Tingjun, who had been slouching on the side, sporting a disdainful smirk, was the An Family’s carefree son.
He didn’t like this new sister who had suddenly intruded into his family life. In reality, the life of an elite like him was not as easy as others imagined. An Toutou started playing with Go stones since she was three. While others went to amusement parks, she was learning piano and calligraphy, among other things.
People like them were destined to have no childhood.
Everyone thought that Ye Shaohua had stolen An Toutou’s life, but if it were him, he would prefer a normal life.
However, upon hearing his father’s words, his smirk stiffened and for the first time, he looked seriously at his sister.
From the moment she came downstairs, her expression had barely changed, her eyes calm and serene. A simple white shirt and jeans were her attire at eighteen, nevertheless failing to hide her innately tranquil air.
Suddenly, the Hall fell silent, especially Uncle Yao and his lot, who didn’t know how to describe their awkwardness.
He wished he could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.
Thankfully, Ye Shaohua’s ringing phone broke the silence, “Grandma, find a place to rest but don’t move. I’m coming to pick you up! No no no, how could I find you burdensome? My grandma is so young, anyone who dares call her old, I, Ye Shaohua, will be the first to disagree…”
“Grandpa, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m going to pick up my grandma and bring her home.” Ye Shaohua hung up and informed the elder An before she left the house.
This was the first time Ye Shaohua spoke in such a gentle tone, her face carrying a light smile, her eyes twinkling as if filled with stars.
It was clear she was happy.
An Toutou’s father suddenly realized she wasn’t incapable of smiling or inherently cold.
She just, chose whom to do it for.
An Toutou called out to Ye Shaohua, but Ye Shaohua ignored her.
The elder An escorted her to the door and, on returning, gave An Toutou’s parents a stern look, “Shaohua is your biologically own daughter, and look at you two, not even knowing her exam score. Don’t forget, she’s the daughter you’ve owed for eighteen years. And you ignorantly arranged for her to go to B University. I’m ashamed for you!”
“Don’t say I’m biased, but Shaohua is a sensitive child. Look at both of you, has she called you once since yesterday? Reflect on your actions.” The elder An went upstairs without another glance back.
“Mom, I really think of Shaohua as a sister, and I can understand her resentment toward me for stealing her life of luxury and not speaking to me.” After a long while, An Toutou’s lips trembled, tears streaming down, “I’m actually envious of the time when she could go out and play with her parents and have many friends and their affection. Although I’ll miss you and Dad, I think it’s only right to give back her home. I will return to the Ye Family today.”
