Bab 284: I want to enter the pageant

"Oh, Sister..." Jiang Xiu trailed off, a as she was a bit hesitant, "I'm... I—I'll enter the pageant in the University Week—I mean, I'm still going to attend for a screening, but yes, I want to try it."

Jiang Yue looked up, titled her head, then stated in a monotone, "Oh, then that's good."

Jiang Xiu nodded, "Yeah, I think it would be a good experience."

They were on the verge of entering the dining room when they overheard the Old Master's words, declaring her unwelcome in both the family and the residence.

Normally, she would have brushed off such remarks with a scoff, perhaps even intentionally aggravating them further, or simply left if she wasn't in the mood for confrontation. But this was Luo Zhelan's grandfather, adding weight to the words and impacting her more deeply.

She wasn't one to easily succumb to the words of others, yet now, she found herself unable to meet Luo Zhelan's eyes, feeling unworthy to even hold his hand.
