Imperial Conservatory of Music

"Grandma, I think you're right," Zhou Cha quickly spoke up. "At that time, we hinted to those people to look for Chen Yuan, but we haven't gotten them to report the results. Something might have really gone wrong. Chen Yuan has not been expelled; she merely went home. It's a little strange. I'll go check."

"Okay, okay. You go ahead." Liu Huan nodded.

Seeing Zhou Cha walk away, the eldest, Zhou Yi said, "If Zhou Cha had married him, everything would have been fine. She's so obedient and sensible. If she becomes the Fu family's young mistress, she can even benefit our Zhou family."

"Yes, Mom." Zhou Jin immediately nodded in agreement. "We should let Zhou Cha marry him."

Liu Huan glared at her two sons and said, "What do you know? We naturally have to maximize the effect of a child who listens to me like this. Fu Sen is not the only grandson in the Fu family. Old Master Fu has four sons, and Fu Sen has several cousins."

Zhou Yi and Zhou Jin instantly understood what Liu Huan meant.

"No matter how much Old Master Fu loves Fu Sen, he wouldn't let a cripple inherit the family business, would he?" Liu Huan snorted coldly. "He would be a laughingstock if it gets out. Therefore, I plan to let Cha wait a little longer. When the Fu family shows signs of who the heir may be, I'll let Cha be the real mistress of the Fu family."

"Mom, you're so thoughtful," Zhou Yi and Zhou Jin promptly fawned.

Once Zhou Cha married up, their daughters could also marry into a good family through Zhou Cha. It was not that they did not expect their daughters to marry into the Fu family. Unfortunately, they were not as good-looking as Zhou Cha, so the chances were slim.

Zhou Cha, who was outside the room, looked satisfied. Liu Huan's thoughts were what she wanted.

Later, Zhou Cha contacted the parents and returned to the living room with a serious expression. She said to Liu Huan, "Grandma, the people we coerced were found to be the ones who bullied Chen Yuan first, so the school said that there is no reason to expel Chen Yuan."

"What?" Liu Huan had not expected this. No wonder Zhou De was not anxious at all these days. It turned out that they were fine.

Liu Huan was so enraged that she cursed, "A bunch of trash. Idiots who didn't do a good job and didn't even know how to report to me."

"Moreover, I also heard that Chen Yuan seems to have been recommended by Professor Zhao Hong, a famous folk music expert. It is said that she's preparing to apply for the entrance examination of the Imperial Conservatory of Music. This matter has just spread," Zhou Cha said while wringing her hands.

"Zhao Hong? Is it the university tutor whose connections Zhou Yi had previously wanted to use to get into graduate school?" Liu Huan asked.

Zhou Yi's eyes instantly widened as he asked in disbelief, "Is it Zhao Hong from the Imperial Conservatory of Music?"

Previously, Zhou Yi's eldest daughter had wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and they'd wanted to use Zhao Hong's connections. However, not even a trace could be seen, so Zhou Yi knew a little about it.

A professor at a music academy wasn't a big deal, but what Zhou Yi wanted was Zhao Hong's connections. This was also the reason Zhou Yi wanted his daughter to look for Zhao Hong as a mentor.

"It's the same Zhao Hong," Zhou Cha nodded.

Zhou Cha only knew a little about Zhao Hong. When Zhou Yi wanted to use his connections, she had asked her teacher, Jin Ming. Only then did she know that that was someone her teacher, Jin Ming, could only barely get close to.

"Zhou De's family is quite capable. They actually have such a relationship. Hmph, instead of helping your own niece, you're helping a burden." Zhou Yi was so livid that he was seeing red.

The more Zhou Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. "No, I have to go and ask them for an explanation," he raged.

Zhou Yi walked out as he spoke. Then, he came huffing back and asked, "Where are Third brother and the others staying now?"

In the end, no one in the room knew; Zhou Yi could only sit on a chair in anger.

Zhou Cha quickly said, "Uncle, don't be angry. I'll help you ask around. It just so happens that I know Chen Yuan's classmates. They can just casually ask around and find out."

When they discovered that Zhou De's family was currently living in the Bay Area, the Zhou family found it a little unbelievable. After all, in their opinion, Zhou De's family had no source of income now, so they would not rent such an expensive house.

Zhou Jin asked Zhou Cha to check again. After Zhou Cha walked away, Zhou Jin asked with a dark expression, "Mum, do you think Third brother sold the medicinal fragrance formulas to obtain so much money?"

The irate Zhou Yi instantly raised his head and said, "It's possible. That's why Third brother has the money to bribe people and plans to send Chen Yuan to Imperial to study."

Liu Huan's expression was also very ugly. Ten years ago, Zhou De had taken away all the medicinal fragrance formulas that could help the Zhou family make a living. As a result, the products produced by the Zhou family were still the same as those from ten years ago.

Liu Huan felt her heart ache when she thought of the medicinal fragrance formulas in the book. That was money wasted.
