It’s universal among n that they felt it was unreasonable.
Zhao Father said, "Speaking of which, we really owe Yebai for his help—" His lips trembled as he hesitated repeatedly when he was about to ntion Gu Nuan, eventually swallowing his words back down.
Seeing this, Xiao Jianming’s face was as if carved by a knife, showing no softening of expression in front of them.
Mrs. Zhao sighed softly.
"Everyone, please sit down," Xiao Jianming commanded, as if he truly was the master of the house here.
The Zhao family seed accustod to it.
Several people took their seats.
Zhao ngjin had been waiting behind the screen at the small tea table, had boiled the water, prepared the tea, and then brought it over.
She walked around the screen to her grandfather.
Xiao Jianming looked up, saw her face, and suddenly felt as if he was waking from a dream.
She was Xiao Shui’s biological daughter, bearing sowhat the shadow of her mother.
Genes don’t lie.
Xiao Jianming hesitated, then asked, "Are you here?"
The question seed out of nowhere, but only soone as perceptive as Zhao ngjin could instantly grasp the aning behind her grandfather’s words. The young girl imdiately nodded her head, saying, "Yes, Grandfather. Mother left words for , telling to definitely help father, to do well in business, and from now on, I will be learning beside Grandma."
Upon hearing her words, there wasn’t a trace of being moved by Xiao Shui’s words on Xiao Jianming’s face; his expression was rely one of pondering, his fingers habitually tapping on the armrest of the chair, saying, "With that, what about your studies at school?"
"The teachers at the Music Academy, I have already inford them. Graduation shouldn’t be a problem, as it is my final year."
"After studying music for so many years, to say now you’re switching to business—" Xiao Jianming looked at both sets of parents-in-law and his son-in-law, his tone clearly skeptical.
Zhao Father and Mrs. Zhao were already quite conflicted. This eldest granddaughter, already recognized as a musical genius by the whole world, now suddenly giving up everything, it seed like a losing business and an act that stifled talent.
It was fair for Xiao Jianming to raise this concern; after all, this child was also his granddaughter, and how could Xiao Jianming not cherish her.
For this, Zhao Zirong stepped forward to explain, saying to his father-in-law, "This is just temporary—"
"Temporary?" Xiao Jianming did not accept this explanation.
Seeing his own father struggling, Zhao ngjin hurriedly interjected, saying to Xiao Jianming, "Grandfather, please do not bla father, this was all my idea, it has nothing to do with my father."
"Your idea?"
Clearly, Xiao Jianming’s tone grew more displeased. Thinking you’re still a student, not yet graduated, what kind of idea could you have?
Zhao Zirong sweated for his daughter.
"Grandfather," Zhao ngjin at this ti, suddenly beca insistent, not letting her father or grandparents speak for her, facing Xiao Jianming alone, assertively, "Doing business and studying music are not in conflict. Perhaps, Grandfather might say one cannot serve two masters, but I see it differently. Many great musicians are not necessarily those who’ve been in the field since young until old age. Great musicians, most certainly carry more in their hearts than just music alone. They are rembered by the world because of the truly great emotions contained in their music. For , what I lack is exactly this kind of experience and pain."
Listening to her, these words seed beyond all the elders’ expectations, appearing deep and aningful, enough to make the elders reconsider. Zhao Father and Mrs. Zhao involuntarily looked at each other, feeling that their granddaughter had grown up more than just a little bit.
