At this moment, Nan Yu and I cooperated quite well.
Jin Han's eyes glanced back and forth between me and her, and then he said to Nan Yu, "She is just a dilettante who is halfway through her career. What are you worried about? Let's go."
Jin Han has always disliked me engaging in any art field. He used to say that I was noisy when I played the cello, but now that I am learning painting, he says that I am half-assed.
In short, I am useless in this man's heart.
Hearing Jin Han's description of me, Nan Yu couldn't help but smile, with a little sarcasm and a little contempt. She said, "Shu Wanyi, in fact, you should have chosen to go into business at the beginning. Maybe you can help me." It’s your own home, but that’s fine, whether you study music or art, you can make a living after going bankrupt.”
She was laughing at me. After all, she was taking the same path as Jin Han. Both of them had the same goals and journey, which was really good for a family business.
On the other hand, my family is bankrupt, so I have to rely on performing arts to survive. Probably in their eyes, this way I lose my identity.
"Everyone has his own ambitions." I simply replied with four words.
No matter how others look down on me or laugh at me, it doesn't matter to me. The road is my own and I can walk on it however I want.
Nan Yu gently leaned her head on Jin Han's shoulder, with an affectionate gesture, and said with a smile, "Yes, everyone has their own ambitions. I just think you can do better."
When Jin Han heard her words, a cold snort escaped from his lips, as if he had thought of something ridiculous.
"Isn't she doing well now? She's bankrupt but has found a new supporter." Jin Han continued to sarcastically say.
The new backer he was talking about was Zhou Yanli.
I was with Zhou Yanli, and many people thought that I had cuckolded Jin Han before we got divorced. It was also because my family was bankrupt and I needed a backer.
"Well, my life is not bad now." I admitted without refuting Jin Han's words.
I so agreed with his ridicule of me, but he gave me a cold face, as if I should jump back and retort, scolding him for talking nonsense.
Seeing Jin Leng's calm expression, I left first, leaving space for the two of them.
I still have to go back and summarize the situation of today’s contestants so that I can prepare for tomorrow’s competition. There are advantages to being at the back.

"Miss Shu, your mother is awake!" As soon as I got home, before I had time to change my shoes, Sister Ping ran over and said to me excitedly.
I was startled, and then a huge joy swept over me. I rushed upstairs as fast as I could to see my mother's condition.
My mother is indeed awake, and Sister Ping has called the family doctor to check on the situation. She has opened her eyes and can see people, but she is still unable to speak or react in other ways.
"Mom, Mom, are you awake?!" I held my mother's phone and almost burst into tears.
After my mother saw me coming, she seemed to have some reaction. Tears filled her eyes, as if she wanted to cry.
Seeing my mother's reaction, the doctor said, "It seems that she only reacts to her own relatives. Miss Shu, it would be helpful for you to chat with her more to help her recovery."
"Okay, I will, but does my mother need to be sent to the hospital now?" I asked with some worry.
The doctor replied, "It's best to send her over now for a comprehensive examination. If you don't have time, you can send her over tomorrow, because I just did a basic examination on her, and there's no big problem."
Without any hesitation, I immediately arranged for someone to take my mother to the hospital.
After struggling for most of the night, my mother's examination is basically completed. Fortunately, there is nothing serious. She just needs to take a good rest and regain her physical mobility. Then, she needs to chat with her more, because she may have some thinking difficulties. , such as forgetting things.
After returning home, I took a bath for my mother with Sister Heping and put her into dry pajamas. I plan to sleep with my mother tonight.
"Mom, from now on I will sleep with you and tell you stories every day." I hugged my mother's arm and said affectionately.
My mother was still a little speechless, but she raised her hand and touched my face. This is the happiest time I have felt in a while.
I told my mother about my participation in the competition tomorrow. She was a little confused, but said nothing more.

The next day, the competition started.
While the previous contestants were showing their works, I was preparing in the lounge. However, when the management opened the safe, I found that the works inside had been replaced.
There are a total of two paintings inside, both of which have been replaced.
A good landscape ink painting was replaced by a watercolor painting. The colorful visual impact made me even unable to recognize what was painted on it.
"This is not my painting!" I threw the painting on the ground and couldn't believe it.
The staff came over to take a look, and then asked, "Are you sure? Our safes here all have independent password locks. Except for our staff, even the judges and teachers cannot open them. It is impossible for anyone to replace your painting.
