The script in her hand wasn’t a presentation script at all. Instead, it was a crib sheet for a case, likely something a senior student had written for amusement. The person who delivered the script also noticed something was off with Gu Anxi and whispered, "What’s wrong?" Gu Anxi showed him the script. "Am I supposed to read this to the foreign guests?" The man was a bit taken aback when he saw it. He immediately took the script, stooped down, and wove through the crowd to find Qin Siyuan, whispering, "Something’s gone wrong, Siyuan. Shen Wanqing took the wrong script." Qin Siyuan’s brow furrowed. It was too late to ask Shen Wanqing now. He immediately made a decision. "Let Gu Anxi step down and replace her with Shen Wanqing." Even if her pronunciation wasn’t perfect, it was better than just standing there. The man hesitated but eventually went to tell Shen Wanqing. Shen Wanqing stood up, smoothing out the creases in her skirt. She stared at Gu Anxi, giving her a subtle smile... What good was a perfect accent? Opportunities were for the prepared. Qin Han also heard the whole story and showed his approval. "Indeed, Wanqing is excellent. She can remember anything by just casually listening—truly a rare talent." As for Gu Anxi, he didn’t comment. Wang Keru’s face darkened again. She couldn’t stand Shen Wanqing’s smug face. That little vixen was very clever; she used to try to curry favor with her, both openly and secretly, and had endured quite a bit. Now that Qin Siling had returned, it was as if she’d found a powerful backer. Wang Keru was not pleased, her heart heavy with discomfort. Gu Anxi was such a disappointment, a constant worry, now even losing at something as basic as memorizing a script to a servant’s daughter! Shen Wanqing’s voice sounded sweet. "Auntie, I will help Anxi and not let her embarrass herself on the stage." Wang Keru gave a sarcastic laugh. "Well, then I am really grateful to you." She said this, all the while feeling utterly disgusted. What made her even more nauseous was the sudden appearance of Qin Siling, who had initially said she wouldn’t come. She took a seat next to Wang Keru in an expensive dress. "Auntie, did you come to see Anxi’s speech?" With her exquisitely made-up eyes, she glanced over and smirked knowingly. "Anxi isn’t capable. Isn’t it better to have Wanqing up there?" Wang Keru’s voice was slightly stiff. "Anxi just wasn’t prepared. Wanqing probably studied day and night and put in considerable effort." Qin Siling smirked. "Exactly why the slower bird must start earlier. Let Anxi learn a lesson. If she’s not good at one thing or another, she will soon be eliminated. Even if she wants to marry, she won’t be able to marry into a good family." A faint, cold smile appeared on Shen Wanqing’s face. She gracefully walked towards the stage, about to take Gu Anxi’s place. At this moment, a foreign guest suddenly turned and spoke a few sentences in English to Gu Anxi. Gu Anxi gave a slight smile and then began to converse with him pleasantly, her manner particularly poised. The students in the auditorium were stunned. Wow, Gu Anxi’s English sounds so good!!! Such a pure London accent!!! Qin Siling was equally stunned— How could this be? How could Gu Anxi’s English be so good? Why was she able to converse so fluently? It was common knowledge that students in China found reading and reciting scripts easy, but they often faltered when it came to actual conversations with foreigners. Yet, Gu Anxi showed no hint of awkwardness! Not only Qin Siling, but even Qin Han was a bit surprised. It seemed that Anxi was not entirely useless after all. Wang Keru was deeply shaken. She had hired tutors for Gu Anxi in the past, but Gu Anxi had never reached such a level. Besides, for over a year, she had seriously suspected that the girl’s time away had addled her brain. Now, this performance was simply stunning. And she was Gu Anxi’s mother.
