Chapter 219 - 219 219 She Cant Compete for Honor That

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: She Can’t Compete for Honor That Belongs to Someone Else Chapter 219: Chapter 219: She Can’t Compete for Honor That Belongs to Someone Else However, just as she thought that, Lin Qinghuan spoke up half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Yajing, Grandma Ning sent Steward Wu to take you guys back, let’s go…”

While speaking, she winked at Gu Qiaoqiao, rather mischievously saying, “You were great today. Chengfeng said he wanted to celebrate later, so I’ll see you tonight.”

Gu Qiaoqiao curled the corners of her mouth indifferently, smiled, but said nothing.

At this time, Shang Qing and Chu Chengfeng squeezed over.

Shang Qing took Gu Qiaoqiao’s arm and whispered, “Don’t bother with them. Not one of them is good. Come, let me introduce you to a few of my friends.”

Since Gu Qiaoqiao’s return, this was the second time Shang Qing had seen her.

They had also spoken on the phone a few times, so one could say they were quite acquainted.

Shang Qing was too late for the shooting gallery today; the competition had already ended by the time she arrived.

Although she was disappointed, she jumped for joy when she heard Gu Qiaoqiao had won.

During the confrontation between Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Yajing, she just watched silently from the side. After all, with so many guys from West City District there, how could they let Gu Qiaoqiao suffer any disadvantage, right?

What she hadn’t expected was for Gu Qiaoqiao to be so formidable; Shang Qing greatly admired her.

So she pushed through the crowd and just in time to see Gu Qiaoqiao’s impatient expression, she pulled her arm and walked to the side.

Gu Qiaoqiao was about to speak when Chu Chengfeng excitedly ran over and whispered, “Sister-in-law, the gallery director wants to see you, he’s on the top stand.”

“The gallery director?” Gu Qiaoqiao followed Chu Chengfeng’s gesture and indeed saw three figures over there.

“Does he want something from me?” Gu Qiaoqiao continued to ask.

“I’m not sure, but I guess he’s impressed by your abilities.” Seeming to be reminded of something, Chu Chengfeng got a little excited, “Sister-in-law, come on, I’ll go with you…”

Gu Qiaoqiao thought it was probably the same suggestion that had been declined by Qin Yize before.

A special recruitment for Gu Qiaoqiao to join the shooting gallery’s team.

If she won a national-level competition, she could enter the national team; that was a green light that was shown only for Gu Qiaoqiao.

She glanced in the direction of the stands, considered for a moment, then walked up with Chu Chengfeng.

They quickly reached the top level.

Gu Qiaoqiao was startled to find a familiar old acquaintance.

It was Elder Shen.

That Elder Shen who owed her an IOU.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t take the initiative to greet him, just approached with a slight smile.

Chu Chengfeng seemed a bit scared of Elder Shen, and upon arrival, he dropped his carefree demeanor and introduced both parties with great respect.

Gu Qiaoqiao also greeted them politely with a smile.

Glancing at Elder Shen, she noticed the elder looked flushed and in good spirits.

Then the gallery director directly expressed his thoughts, hoping that Gu Qiaoqiao would consider them.

After all, it would be a loss for the country if someone with such extraordinary talent didn’t join the national team to bring glory to the nation.

But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t need to consider it.

She couldn’t go.

Because only she knew what was really going on.

She could use this miraculous ability to take revenge and get what she wanted, but she couldn’t compete for honor that belonged to others.

She hadn’t trained or put in the effort.

It was entirely different from those athletes who had poured out their sweat.

So for her to compete against them for that honor would be like a thief.

And her challenge this time was merely for the treasure of Yubao Square.

Moreover, she had so many things to do; how could she possibly become an athlete?

With a smile on her face and a sincere tone, Gu Qiaoqiao said, “First of all, thank you, Director, for your appreciation and affection, but I cannot agree to your request. My talent for shooting is really just a whim that might fail at any moment, and truth be told, I have no interest in shooting. Also, I am already married. My goal in life is to be a good wife and mother. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice was not loud, but each word was full of sincerity and apology.

But she was very resolute.

There was no vacillation or ambiguity.

The museum director felt somewhat disappointed.

However, he was well aware of Gu Qiaoqiao’s situation and, despite her persistence, he still wanted to try persuading her once more.

Elder Shen said from the side, “Young people have their own pursuits and ideals, so we should respect their choices.”

The museum director did not speak again, but he still felt regret.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled at the two men, “I’ve been out too long, it’s time for me to go back.”

Elder Shen smiled, but then suddenly said, “Girl, if I hadn’t mentioned knowing you, would you have pretended not to recognize me?”

The museum director and Chu Chengfeng were surprised.

Elder Shen actually knew Gu Qiaoqiao?

Upon hearing Elder Shen’s words, Gu Qiaoqiao laughed and took the opportunity to respond, “Elder Shen, how could that be? I just greeted you.”

Elder Shen also laughed, “Alright, let’s say you’ve greeted me. Go on, it seems like many people down there are waiting for you.”

Gu Qiaoqiao and Chu Chengfeng left.

The museum director sighed with regret once more.

Elder Shen glanced at the people below and suddenly asked the museum director beside him, “Old Zhu, were the people contesting for the Jade Flute from Yubao Square?”

“Yes, indeed they were from Yubao Square. The eldest daughter of Gu Cheng, allegedly she has just been dismissed,” the museum director said, pausing before continuing, “It’s said that she suppressed the literary manuscripts written by Gu Qiaoqiao’s father and was dealt with for that…”

These words contained a lot of information.

Elder Shen remained silent for a while.

After a pause, he stood up, and Loo Zhigang quickly followed him, and then they both quietly left the place.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t go to celebrate with those people.

Shang Qing clung to Gu Qiaoqiao’s arm and wouldn’t let go. It was only after Gu Qiaoqiao promised to go shopping with her in a couple of days that she reluctantly let go.

Chu Chengfeng escorted Gu Qiaoqiao home.

Then he took his group of brothers out to revel.

Although he wanted the hero of the day to join in, the thought of Qin Yize made him quickly abandon the idea.

By the time Gu Qiaoqiao got home, it was already evening.

Grandma Qin had prepared dinner and was waiting for everyone to return for the meal.

Gu Qiaoqiao entered the living room carrying her handbag.

Grandma Qin, seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, beamed with joy and pulled her to eat chilled watermelon together.

She didn’t know what Gu Qiaoqiao had been doing.

But she wisely didn’t ask.

Because she knew that Gu Qiaoqiao was a child with a clear mind.

After tidying up the kitchen in the evening, Gu Qiaoqiao returned to her own room.

She sat at her desk holding the Jade Flute, looking at it with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

The Jade Flute was not an actual flute.

It was simply carved in the shape of a flute.

Made of fine jadeite, it was about twenty-something centimeters long.

Its thickness was similar to that of a bamboo flute.

Both ends were sealed.

The secret of this mechanism lay in the carved bamboo leaves bearing a name.

Following her fingers’ intuition, she pressed a few spots on the bamboo leaves, and with a click, the center of the Jade Flute split in two.
