Bai Qiming had already returned to Beicheng, as Song Min was still at the Boyuan Base, Madam Song had not yet gone back.

She took the opportunity to celebrate the New Year in Jiangjing.

Upon learning that Bai Shaoqi was selected for the school’s gala performance, Madam Song would find time to watch her.

Today, with Song Min visiting the Yin Family for dinner, Madam Song specially came to pick up Bai Shaoqi.

Those who could study at the Jiangjing Music Academy all came from impressive family backgrounds. Bai Shaoqi’s background was relatively modest among these people, and her fellow students were not particularly warm to her.

This was the first time Madam Song saw a student actively clinging to Bai Shaoqi’s arm.

Bai Shaoqi, stunned, heard this and looked towards Madam Song, steadying herself, “I just happened to run into Dean Jian.”

“I saw as well,” Madam Song sighed. She had seen Dean Jian leaving as she came in, but could not find an opportunity to get to know him.

The girl in the purple dress smiled as she exchanged contact information with Bai Shaoqi, “When you become Dean Jian’s student, don’t forget about me, okay?”

Having said this, she waved her phone at Bai Shaoqi and left.

“You… Dean Jian’s student?” Madam Song’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Bai Shaoqi in astonishment; she had assumed they were discussing Dean Jian’s disciples because, after all, Bai Shaoqi had failed to secure her previous academic ambitions.

“Just now, Dean Jian took the initiative to greet me,” Bai Shaoqi spoke up, her unsettled heart in these past days now beginning to calm down.

Madam Song exhaled, pondering silently.

She was to pick up Song Min from the Boyuan Base and bring him back to the Yin Family. Song Min had been very silent on the way, but since he was always aloof, neither Bai Shaoqi nor Madam Song suspected anything.

At the Yin Family’s home, hearing the news about Dean Jian, Mr. Yin also made a special trip back.

“Shaoqi, that’s very impressive,” he praised with a smile.

Bai Shaoqi went upstairs to change clothes.

“I will go watch Shaoqi’s performance the day after tomorrow.” Madam Song had been struggling with the Xu Family and Bai Shaoqi; after all, the Xu Family had now reached heights that the Song Family could not.

However, important as the Xu Family was, it did not outweigh Bai Shaoqi’s position in Madam Song’s heart at the moment.

Fortunately, she had calmed down and broken off the engagement with Bai Lian at that time.

“Mom,” Song Min, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, “Bai Lian is also at the Boyuan Base.”

“Oh.” Madam Song, as usual, responded indifferently to the mention of Bai Lian’s name.

After saying this, she realized what Song Min meant, “She’s at the Boyuan Base? How did she get in there? Through the Xu Family?”

Madam Song was well aware of Bai Lian’s past cheating incident in the humanities class.

“As I mentioned last time, the person who got full marks in math, that’s her,” Song Min said, looking out the window.

“Full marks in math?” Madam Song thought it was unbelievable. Bai Lian’s notorious reputation for lack of study in Beicheng was well known.

When Bai Lian left the Bai Family, Madam Song decisively chose Bai Shaoqi as a swift solution to the messy situation.

Now, with Song Min saying that Bai Lian scored full marks in math, Madam Song’s first instinct was that it was impossible.

But…

Boyuan Base—what kind of place is it? If Song Min wasn’t certain that Bai Lian had scored full marks, he would never have brought it up to her.

“Full marks, that means she scored even higher than you?” Madam Song asked, still stunned.

Song Min’s expression remained cool as he added, “But she didn’t do as well as I did in the comprehensive science section.”

He was second in comprehensive science, with Ning Xiao in the first place, so Bai Lian definitely wouldn’t have scored higher than him.

“Well, that’s a relief,” Madam Song felt a slight ease, like Song Min before, “With just over a hundred days left until the college entrance examination, Amin, work hard and don’t be careless next time.”

Before today, Madam Song might have felt a tinge of regret hearing Bai Lian’s score.

But now, with Bai Shaoqi personally greeted by Dean Jian, Madam Song felt that, in comparison, Bai Shaoqi was a more worthy investment.

A disciple of Dean Jian—her future in the art world would be like looking down from a mountain peak.

She could then be compared to Bai Shaoke, but… Madam Song also felt a bit of regret. Full marks in math, thankfully her comprehensive science was less than perfect, otherwise, she would have felt anguished. And she wondered if Bai Qiming knew about this…

The Jiangjing Music Academy was not far from the Science and Technology Museum.

Knowing she was at the Science and Technology Museum, Dean Jian sent her an address. It was an old restaurant, also in Chang’an District.

Bai Lian started searching for directions on the map.

Before she found the route, Assistant Xu called. His voice was very respectful, “Miss Bai, do you have time tonight?”

“No,” Bai Lian explained, “I have an appointment with someone.”

Assistant Xu heard the sound of the museum’s loudspeakers, “Are you at the Science and Technology Museum? I happen to be nearby; it’s just a few minutes’ drive. Where do you need to go? I can take you there.”

Bai Lian looked at the bus, which would take at least an hour to ride.
