Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 218: Little One Conquers All

"You’re right." Old Master Qin clicked his tongue unhappily. "Do I look like someone who would force her to choose one over the other? Besides, this is my granddaughter’s matter. I definitely won’t make decisions for her. If she doesn’t like it, whether it’s chess or piano, I won’t force her to learn."

Ji Yi sensed his displeasure in tone and realized his own selfishness was too biased. He immediately said, "My mistake, my mistake. You’re right. Ann should come first, and you’re wealthy enough. You don’t need to choose one or the other."

"Alright, I’m not blaming you either." Old Master Qin redirected the conversation. "So, do you know any piano masters?"

"Yes, Gu Maowen, my old classmate." Ji Yi thought Old Qin probably hadn’t had much contact with him, so he suggested, "He’s having a concert in the city in a few days. You can take Ann to listen to it."

Old Master Qin wasn’t familiar with masters like Gu Maowen, but he had heard of his name. He was a powerful pianist with numerous awards and had already gone international.

"Okay, I’ll arrange it on my end." Old Master Qin didn’t waste any more words with him. "If you need any help from me, just ask."

"Just make sure Ann participates in the chess competition. I’ve already registered her name." Ji Yi only wished for a successor in the chess world.

"Of course. Don’t worry, Ann quite enjoys participating in chess competitions."

Old Master Qin didn’t mention that the biggest reason little one liked to participate in chess competitions was to win prize money.

The others in the living room listened attentively to their phone conversation.

After the call ended, Old Madam Qin smiled and asked first, "How was it? Does Old Ji know anyone?"

"He does." Old Master Qin’s happy mood couldn’t be maintained. "I’ll ask Ann tomorrow if she wants to attend the concert. After these few days of competitions end, the pianist will have a concert."

Old Madam Qin nodded in agreement. Then, her gaze swept over the other grandsons, and she couldn’t help but smile again. "It’s really strange. You boys, average in chess and average in piano. Ann is only three and a half years old, yet she surpasses you by a mile."

Although she said that, they could only compare themselves to Ann. Compared to others, the Qin family’s genes were far superior to ordinary people’s.

"Why do you have to criticize and praise at the same time, Grandma?" Qin Qianyi slumped his face. "That’s too hurtful."

Qin Yaoyu straightened his chest. "Yeah, Grandma, we have other strengths too."

Old Master Qin couldn’t help but ask, "Like what?"

Qin Qianyi weakly replied, "Taller than Ann? Longer legs than Ann?"

Qin Yaoyu wanted to agree with him, but he didn’t have such thick skin. "It’s better not to say anything. Are you even embarrassed?"

Knowing that the spreading video on the internet had no negative impact on little one and didn’t capture her face, the Qin family didn’t have it removed. They just kept an eye on the comment section to prevent anyone from being disrespectful.

In the following days, Qin Sui’an participated in two city competitions and one provincial competition.

It seemed like an unspoken agreement was reached between the Qin family and the Ye family.

Except for Qin Haochen, who always accompanied little one, the others, including her six brothers and two uncles, took turns accompanying little one to the competitions, ensuring that everyone had the chance to personally watch little one compete.

Among the competitors, whenever they occasionally encountered opponents they had previously lost to, those "defeated underlings" of little one would first be excited, then panicked, fearing another match with little one where they would surely lose. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Without a doubt, the first prize winnings from these three competitions all went into little one Qin Sui’an’s pocket.

As for those trophies, Qin Haochen made a wall cabinet in the living room on the first floor of Bay Villa, specifically displaying all the trophies little one had won in competitions.

In just a few short days, it was like a whirlwind had swept through the chess world, known by all, and a chess prodigy emerged, Qin Sui’an, at the age of only three and a half.

After the final provincial competition ended, Old Madam Qin and Old Master Qin took little one to see the concert. Gu Maowen’s concert was held at the grand theater in the city center. His reputation was quite significant, with most of his performances overseas or participating in various events. It was normal for tickets to be hard to come by. Old Master Qin had to use some connections to secure tickets for this concert.

This was Qin Sui’an’s first time attending a concert. Upon entering the venue, her round eyes looked around curiously. The interior of the theater was spacious, with an extremely beautiful and spacious stage. The audience seats were divided into first-floor seats, second-floor seats, and VIP seats with VIP boxes.

After Old Master Qin’s leg injury healed, he rarely missed any opportunity to hold little one. He held her in his arms and, guided by the staff, sat with his wife in their reserved VIP box. A child’s chair was brought in, allowing little one to sit higher and have an unobstructed view.

Delicious snacks and drinks were placed on the glass table in the box, and the surroundings were perfectly insulated from other spectators, giving them some privacy.

Less than ten minutes before the concert started, the seats in the venue were almost full, but it wasn’t noisy. Even the conversations were soft and gentle.

Qin Sui’an could hear the conversations of the surrounding audience:

"I had to ask many friends to help me grab a ticket, and I finally got one!"

"I heard that Gu Maowen plans to focus more on China after returning home this time. I wonder if it’s true or not."

"These days, it seems like he’s looking for someone, that kid who went viral."

"Some say that kid is from the Shao family. The daughter of the Shao family is here at this concert, probably in the VIP area."

"So, is Master Gu preparing to take the daughter of the Shao family as his disciple?"

"I guess there will be news after this concert ends..."

Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes. Her brothers had told her that she had gone viral, and many people liked her, but she wasn’t surnamed Shao; she was surnamed Qin.

The stage lights brightened, illuminating only a Steinway & Sons piano placed in the center. Along with the audience, they waited for its owner to arrive.

The concert started on time. The bright lights immediately dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on the Steinway & Sons piano. A few seconds later, another beam of light lit up the side of the stage.

"Let’s warmly welcome the performer of this concert, pianist Gu Maowen!"

With the enthusiastic call of the host, applause filled the venue. In the next moment, Gu Maowen’s figure appeared on the side of the stage in everyone’s sight.
