Qing Ming smiled, "Don't you like it? Uncle will give you something else"
"Give what? With that money, I'd rather you buy another dress for our Qinqin!" Ding Xian chided.
Without giving her a look, Qing Mian returned the gift box to Qing Ming and made a beeline for the stairs.
Ding Xian shouted, "Truly an ingrate who cannot be nurtured!
Halfway up the stairs, Qing Mian turned to the servant cleaning up on the second floor. "Where is my mom?"
"She's in her room"
She nodded, went upstairs to put down her bag, then went to her mum's room.
"Come in", Qin said
"Mum, what are you doing?", Qing Mian asked.
"I'm doing through my scripts", she said
"What scripts?"
"Ohh, I didn't tell you. I was an actress but I stopped when I lost my child"
"Oh"
"But I got a role in a popular director's movie"
"Woah, I also want to be an actress"
"Uhh, you are too intelligent for that"
"I really love acting and other forms of entertainment"
"Mum will support and guide you", Qin said
".....the entertainment industry isn't meant for someone so pure and gentle like you", she thought.
"Mmm", Qing Mian smiled

The next morning
Xue Xi called Qing Mian, "Come to my house, lets have fun"
"Huh....Okay"
Qin would always hint at her to go out for a walk every weekend to make some friends. She thought for a moment, then replied: "I'll come over now."
"That's good"
She was not wearing her school uniform. She changed into a set of pink sports attire, white espadrilles, and a white baseball cap. Her black hair was loosely let down on her back. She randomly chose a small backpack and informed Qin before leaving.
Downstairs, Qinqin was currently playing the piano.
Qing Ming sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. He clearly seemed sleepy, but he opened his eyes the moment Qing Qin stopped playing and praised, "Not bad, not bad! Qinqin is so good with the piano!"
Ding Xian nudged her lips upon hearing this.
How could a country bumpkin know how to appreciate this?
Despite feeling disdain inwardly, she still put on an eager expression. "Yes!"
She then walked to Qing Qin's side, praising, "Not bad. You haven't fallen back by much despite not practicing recently. In the next few days, practice more diligently to get back to your otimal condition. In the entire City Y, you are definitely the top in terms of piano skills in your generation"
Qin stood at the entrance, looking at them with envy.
Ding Xian spotted her and straightened her back in pride. She then smiled and said, "Elder Sister-in-law, if only Mianmian can play the piano, that would have been great."
Qin gave an embarrassed and awkward smile. "Hmm"
Ding Xian sighed. "That's true. The orphanage's environment isn't really good. Mianmian has likely never even touched a piano before. What a pity."
This lamentation was like a prick to Qin's heart.
Which mother in this world would not want to provide their daughter with the best?
"She'll surely be the best pianist and actress in the future", Qin thought.
