“Who’s raising whom?” Fang Yuan lifted her head and cast a cold gaze in Song Ling’s direction. “Have you ever spent a single cent on me since my childhood?” “Isn’t the Fang family’s wealth mine too?” Song Ling retorted.

Fang Yuan clarified, “That’s Granny Fang’s money!”

“Alright, you wretched girl. 1 won’t argue with you. Tell me, are you going to apologize?” Song Ling’s voice resonated loudly, drawing the attention of onlookers.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Fang Jiayi gently took Song Ling’s hand. “Forget it, Mom.”

“No, I must make this girl apologize to you today!” Song Ling was determined to force an apology from Fang Yuan.

“Mom, there are others watching…” Fang Jiayi was apprehensive about attracting the attention of reporters. “Let’s not stoop to her level. Let’s go. We have plenty of time in the future.” It didn’t have to happen right now!

Song Ling insisted, “Let go of me and let me teach her a lesson. With me around, there’s no need to be afraid!”

“Are you done with this act?” Fang Yuan lost her patience. Did this debt count for nothing?

“We’re already letting you off. What else do you want?” Fang Jiayi had never encountered such an ungrateful person. Did she need to make a spectacle to be satisfied?

Fang Yuan replied, “It’s simple. I just want you to apologize.”

“I apologize?” Fang Jiayi couldn’t believe it.

Song Ling was also stunned. “You want Jiayi to apologize to you?” Was she out of her mind?

“You don’t understand human language, do you? I’ll say it again. Apologize!” Fang Yuan declared. “If you don’t apologize, 1’11 get the staff to check the surveillance cameras.” Although the sink’s position wasn’t captured, the cameras might have recorded Fang Jiayi splashing water when entering the washroom.

Fang Jiayi raised her head. It was true. The surveillance camera pointed at the corridor where Fang Yuan stood just moments ago. If she had known earlier, she would have waited for Fang Yuan to come out before splashing water!

“I believe you’re practically begging for a beating…” Song Ling desired to step forward and impart a lesson to Fang Yuan, but Fang Jiayi restrained her.

At this moment, Fang Jiayi’s countenance twisted in humiliation as she glared at Fang Yuan.

More onlookers gathered, and the situation threatened to become increasingly embarrassing.

“Sister, I apologize. I was careless just now…” Fang Jiayi forced the words through gritted teeth.

Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied with the apology. “Why not let everyone judge whether it was accidental or intentional?”

Fang Jiayi lowered her voice, pleading, “I’m sorry, Sister. It’s my fault. I won’t repeat it!”

“In the future, steer clear of me!” Fang Yuan declared before departing, indifferent to any further confrontation.

Song Ling still harbored the intention to pursue, but Fang Jiayi seized her arm, whispering, “Mom, please don’t escalate this.”

“Jiayi, why are you apologizing to her? Why should we fear her? She slapped you twice, so we’re in the right!”

Fang Jiayi feared exposure of her plagiarism of the piano piece, a significant issue. What if Fang Yuan revealed it? She had found the music in the Fang family’s room, only the climax part, and showed it to the piano teacher hired by the Fangs. The composition was outstanding!

Despite multiple online searches, she found no trace of the song. Thus, she had the idea to transcribe it and submit it, ultimately securing second place!

From someone ignorant of music to a musical prodigy, she had carefully cultivated this image. Apologizing now was out of the question.

Fang Yuan, having been pampered in the Fang family, lacked evidence to prove the song was truly hers, even if she did possess musical talent.

Fang Jiayi reassured herself inwardly, ‘Don’t worry. Fang Yuan can’t stir up any trouble! Even if she claims to have composed that song, as long as 1 don’t confess, Fang Yuan won’t have any grounds!’

Just then, nearby voices exclaimed, “Chairman Mu, you’re here?”

Fang Jiayi turned her attention and saw a woman exuding authority approaching. Clad in an elegant lady’s suit, she bore a stylish demeanor. It was Mu Youlan, the chairman of the National Piano Association.

Mu Youlan possessed exceptional piano skills, earning numerous domestic and international accolades since her youth. Ascending to the presidency in her thirties, she was respectfully addressed as a piano master.

Spotting Mu Youlan, Fang Jiayi hastened to straighten her attire and checked her appearance in the mirror. Under the warm lighting, the blush on her face seemed delicately applied.

Satisfied with her appearance, she quickly maneuvered through the crowd and introduced herself warmly, “Hello, Chairman Mu. I’m Fang Jiayi, and 1 secured the second place in this piano competition.”

Mu Youlan initially spotted Fang Yuan in the crowd, but upon reaching Fang Jiayi, she didn’t see her. Slightly disappointed, she looked at the girl who greeted her and recognized a familiar name. She expressed some dissatisfaction, saying, “The Fang family’s daughter?”

She recalled hearing Fang Yuan mention those unsavory characters from the Fang family…
