They were sisters...yet one was glorified while the other was shamed.
However, Tangning knew that this young woman was a uniquely talented singer who had been left with no choice but to settle as a music teacher.
So, Tangning felt it was the right time to contact her because a large scale singing competition was about to start.
Plus, Lin Qian had been monitoring her to see if she was still passionate about winning.
That night, Mo Ting returned home and wrapped Zixi in his embrace as he looked at Tangning, "There's not much time left."
Tangning held onto her bowl and chopsticks and glanced at Mo Ting, "You don't trust me?"
"I'm just getting impatient on your behalf."
"You don't need to," Tangning handed Mo Ting a bowl and chopsticks, "When have I disappointed you?"
"You really don't need my help?" Mo Ting asked suggestively as he raised an eyebrow.
"No. I know I will need to pay for it," Tangning wasn't falling for his trick.
After dinner, Mo Ting gave the two rascals a bath while Tangning gave Lin Qian a phone call, "We don't have much time left. It's time to make a move."
Actually, Lin Qian was already struggling to control herself. Such a talented young girl was being schemed against by her own sister. It wasn't hard to imagine how angry she must be. Especially since she spent everyday at music school, repeating the same easy work that she obviously didn't like.
However, Tangning had not told Lin Qian to do anything until now. So, now that Tangning finally felt it was time, Lin Qian immediately threw out her invite.
The next day, while the young woman was teaching a class, Lin Qian waited outside her classroom. And, as soon as she finished, Lin Qian invited her out for a chat, "Could I please have half an hour of your time. I'm aware you don't have any classes in the afternoon."
The woman was a little surprised, but after seeing Lin Qian's business card, she nodded her head.
Although she wanted to reject Lin Qian, she couldn't possibly turn away anything related to the entertainment industry.
Soon, the two women arrived at a cafe near the school. As soon as they sat down, Lin Qian began to introduce herself, "You can call me Lin Qian. I am from Superstar Media."
"I've never heard of Superstar Media before," the woman shook her head.
"That's not important. What's important is, do you want to get back what belongs to you?" Lin Qian asked straightforwardly. "I've actually been monitoring you for some time and I'm aware of your past..."
"I think things are fine the way they are right now," the woman unexpectedly rejected Lin Qian before she even finished talking.
"You must think I'm a scammer, don't you?" Lin Qian laughed. "Don't be offended by my honesty, but what do you have for me to scam? If I want money, you don't have any. If I want to take advantage of your body, you don't have that either."
"Eh..." the woman looked at Lin Qian awkwardly.
"I know that you almost came in first place in a singing competition but you ended up being disqualified because of your sister," Lin Qian jumped to the main point to keep the woman interested. "If we can give you another chance to step onto the stage, do you have the confidence to secure first place?"
The woman's eyes obviously lit up for a moment, but it quickly faded.
"There's no use. My sister told me, if I participate in a singing competition again, she will reveal my history of stealing to the public."
"What if I told you that we can clear your name?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.
"That's impossible..."
