Everyone looked towards the door when Hé Hua and Chu Xiù entered. Hé Hua, whose face was very gloomy, is now smiling after seeing her family and her sweet daughter. After seeing Hé Hua, Qin Xiāng directly hugs her and, with a little pout on her lips, says, "Mom, I missed you. Why are you so late!" she complains.
While still smiling, Hé Hua says, "Mom's car got a little problem while returning. That's why we got here a little late. Mom's sorry, okay?" Hé Hua says while still holding Qin Xiāng in her arms and patting her head with love.
Then looking towards her husband and her son, Hé Hua asks, "How was your day today at the office?" Qin Shuchang raises his eyes and his handsome face comes to sight perfectly and says, "It was good, Mom. Same as usual."
Then, looking towards Chu Xiù, Qin Fenhua asks, "So this is Chu Xiù." After listening to what Qin Fenhua said, Hé Hua is a little embarrassed as she completely forgot that Chu Xiù is still standing beside her.
Qin Xiāng also realized that there is someone whom her mom had gone to pick up—her "sister." Then she looked towards Chu Xiù. She felt astonished to see the dazzling, perfectly beautiful face of Chu Xiù. Qin Xiāng was expecting to see a girl with a dark skin tone, but what she is seeing now is a masterpiece. While hiding her disappointment, she goes to Chu Xiù and says, "Hello, Chu Xiù. I am Qin Xiāng and I welcome you here in our family."
Chu Xiù looks into Qin Xiāng’s eyes for a little while and returns her greetings. "Yes. Hello, I am Chu Xiù." Then Hé Hua calls Guo Yuxin. She is the housekeeper of the Qin family, and Hé Hua asks her to take Chu Xiù to her room.
After going inside the room, Chu Xiù keeps her bag on the bed. She opens it. If anyone looks at it more carefully, there are only two casual T-shirts—one black and one white—one denim shorts, and a figure skating pants for girls to practice. After a bath, she wears that same turtleneck and those practice pants for skating.
Chu Xiù is now ready to leave for the practice. Just then, Chu Xiù hears a knock on the door. Irritated, she opens the door. It is Qin Xiāng who is standing at the door.
"Why are you here? Is there something?" Seeing impatience and a little anger in Chu Xiù’s eyes, she was a little scared, but still, she says, "Sister, hello. I am here to give you dinner. You didn't come down to eat, so I brought your dinner here. And I also wanted to talk to you about something."
Seeing she is up to something from her behaviour, Chu Xiù says, "Giving you two minutes. Talk and leave," with indifference in her eyes. Chu Xiù is very impatient and irritated right now, as she wants to leave as soon as possible. Her whole body is covered with an oppressive aura.
Seeing Chu Xiù's impatience and aura, Qin Xiāng quickly says, "Sister, I know you are angry with me. I am sorry. Actually, I am very happy to see you. It's not that Mom only loves me, she also loves you. You just have to be obedient to her. If you think I stole your place in Mom's heart, it's wrong. It's just that Mom stayed away from you for many years because she just poured her love on me. I am sure in no time she will come to love you too."
After listening to this, Chu Xiù understood the meaning well—'that your mom left you, and now she loves me and me only.' Chu Xiù scoffed a little and said, "If you are over with your self-talk, then take this food back and leave now. I already had my dinner," Chu Xiù spoke with an irritated tone.
Listening to this, Qin Xiāng was a little stunned as there was no reaction from Chu Xiù’s side. She still has no emotion on her face, and her tone was still irritated. Seeing this, she left the room with the food tray, and Chu Xiù slammed the room's door on her face.
Qin Xiāng is very ireful, thinking how Chu Xiù closed the door on her face. Qin Xiāng immediately goes to Hé Hua and, with small teardrops on her face, Hé Hua worriedly asks, "What happened? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
"No, Mom, it's just that I think my sister is very angry with me, as I took her place in your heart. And because you love me more than her and never went to meet my sister even once in the past 12 years. I think she hates me because my sister didn't understand me and even slammed the door closed right on my face. I shouldn't have gone to her room. My sister must have been very hurt by my words."
After hearing Qin Xiāng, Hé Hua says, "You don't have to worry about your sister. She is going to live in the dorm. And after your sister's college entrance examination, she will be sent abroad for her further studies. Just worry about your piano competition and your studies. You don't have to give any mind to your sister."
After Qin Xiāng leaves the room, Chu Xiù opens the window and puts on her black backpack on her shoulders, which is different from her black bag in which her clothes and other things were kept. It is a leather backpack containing her skates, water bottle, and some other items.
Chu Xiù jumps from her window from the second floor and lands successfully. After that, she jumps over the two-metre wall fencing the mansion effortlessly and goes to her destination.
Chu Xiù goes inside a twenty-floor building of Star Sports Club, and at reception, she shows her Black Diamond Membership Card. The receptionist told her that she would show the way, but Chu Xiù refused the help and said, "Thank you."
