Qu Xinru was a little flustered by Qu Ling'er's cold-eyed glare. However, she continued to persuade her, "I just think that there's no need to reduce things to such a state. I'm going to study in Beijing soon. We won't see each other much in the future. By the way, you probably don't know yet—I have been accepted into Beijing Music Academy—Opera Department. Dad and Mom are very happy."
Qu Ling'er did not want to waste her breath. Qu Xinru's words were filled with a sense of superiority—she probably felt that it was very impressive to be accepted to Beijing Music Academy.
"Qu Ling'er, family will always be family. If you go against Dad, you will be on the losing end!" Qu Xinru continued to persuade her, framing it as if she had Qu Ling'er's interests at heart.
Qu Ling'er looked at her and asked point-blank, "Why did you lie to me?"
