Lu Yingxue's throat tightened as she chose her words carefully: "My father is clear about separating public from private matters and has always been strict with me. But it is under such high standards that I was able to flourish. I believe in my ability and that I can win the title at the Testing Ceremony."
Zhong Yi glanced at her lightly, "Yingxue, even though you are very capable, there's always someone better out there. If, in the coming competition, someone scores the same as you, requiring your father to decide, what will he do then?"
"He..."
Before Lu Yingxue could finish, Zhong Yi interrupted her.
He said, "Given Uncle Lu's integrity, he would surely eliminate you, wouldn't he?"
Lu Yingxue pursed her lips, caught in a dilemma.
She wanted to say her father would never eliminate her at a critical moment. The first round was just for show, to gain a good reputation!
But she couldn't say such things to others.
