After Mr. Yang had finished speaking, he walked over and shook their hands with a smile on his face. “It’s nice to finally meet you.”

Yao Rong didn’t really know much about the Music Association, but from what he could gather, he knew for a fact that Yao Tangwas brilliant!

It seemed that she was even more outstanding than he had initially thought.

Jiang Wan also shook hands with Mr. Yang. “So, Mr. Yang, what would you say is your favorite composition?” The two immediately chatted about music scores and popular melodies.

The older man couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

When Mr. Yang had seen Qin Man’s vulgar actions, he assumed that the entire family was like this—impatient and violent. It seemed however that Yao Tang’s parents were quite different and just as extraordinary as her.

They were definitely much more fitted into the organization compared to the deranged woman!

Thinking of this, his face softened. “It seems you’ll be a good fit in the association, Yao Tang,” he said again. “We ask that you’ll consider our offer of invitation.”

Standing at the side, Qin Man’s fingers twitched. Her heart turned sour, and her eyes began to redden. If she had simply accepted Yao Tang into her arms, then wouldn’t they be the ones chatting with Mr. Yanginstead?

Yet, it seemed she couldn’t take back the bad blood that had been sewn between them.

If Yao Ran had also been deprived of her right to participate in the exam, then wouldn’t that mean that Ranrannow couldn’t be compared to Yao Tang? Even if the latter is nothing more than a country bumpkin?

Different emotions surged through her heart, and she clenched her jaw.

Even when Mr. Yang had finally left the room, she still didn’t come back to her senses. Instead, she continued to stay rooted on the ground, looking as if she was at a loss on what to do.

“Yao Tang,” Yao Yuan was the first one to speak out. “Perhaps it is better for you to come back home—to us. Besides, the conditions at home are far better than the facilities offered by No. 1 High School. Whatever you think you need, you’re free to ask us.”

Jiang Wan frowned.

Now that Yao Yuan had seen Yao Tang’s strength and prestige, he wanted to take her away from them? Did he think that a child was only useful for their accomplishments?

“Yao Tang already has a home, and we’ve already welcomed her. There’s no need for her to be welcomed in other people’s homes,” Jiang Wanbit back. “Besides, she’s our daughter. Perhaps it’s best that you don’t interfere with our family matters.”

Yao Yuan frowned.

“She may be your daughter in accordance with the household register, but she’s my biological daughter. Wouldn’t it be a good thing for a daughter to live with her biological father? Don’t you want what’s best for Yao Tang? What exactly are your intentions for my daughter?”

Intentions? Jiang Wan scowled.

If Yao Yuan had really wanted to take her back and treat her well, then Jiang Wanwouldn’t stop him. However, the only reason the man wanted to take her back was to use her as their pawn to success!

They obviously wouldn’t treat her well.

They’d just exhaust all her talents!

Jiang Wan was also worried that Yao Tangwould fall into Yao Yuan’s trap and allow herself to be abused just like that. Just because he was her biological father doesn’t mean that he’d treat her with respect.

She bit her lips.

Just as she was about to say something, Yao Tang interrupted,

“They’re my parents, in accordance with the household register. Besides, you’ve both made it perfectly clear that you don’t want me then. Why are you preventing me from having a good life?”

Yao Yuan’s eyes widened.

“Tangtang,” he said forcefully. “You know that I never wanted to abandon you. Weren’t we just following your wishes in letting you stay at school? If you’re unhappy with your living situation, then we’d apologize for not treating you well enough.”

“But could you really not give your father one more chance to make up for his mistakes?”

The more Yao Yuan spoke, the more confident he became.
