“Of course!” Yin Guofu exclaimed as he smiled widely. Initially when he had known that such a person like Gu Xiqiao was around, he didn’t pay much care about her. As head of the Yin family, his sights were naturally set on a higher degree than most. Although they were not comparable to some families in the Imperial Capital, he was still a person standing at the top of a pyramid, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were also quite powerful in their own right.

The generation below him had found a god-granddaughter for him, but it had to be an illegitimate daughter with a bad reputation. Although he wasn’t fully contented with it, he tried not to put too much thought into it after seeing the expression on Jiang Shuxuan’s face. The Yin family was big anyway, there was nothing wrong with adding one more person into it. That being said, somewhere deep within his heart, he still looked down on the illegitimate daughter from the Gu family.

When he had come down the stairs and his eyes landed on the girl, she had carried herself confidently—in a relaxed manner that didn’t lose out to other well-bred young ladies from powerful families. Even he couldn’t help but have slight fondness at this graceful and humble girl. Hearing that she had taken both the top spots made this feeling rise to the highest possible level. Being able to claim both spots was a great honor, and such talent was only produced in the country once a year, if there was.

After thinking for a long while, Yin Guofu brought out a stationery set with pen, ink, and paper that he cherished and presented it to her. This gesture was indirectly acknowledging that she was part of the Yin family.

Yin Shaoyuan and Tang Yanling’s hearts felt at ease for the moment at that. The gift was not the main point, but Grandpa Yin’s acknowledgment was the most important.

Coupled with the Lamborghini that Yin Shaoyuan had gifted her, Gu Xiqiao was receiving gifts left and right the entire night.

Yin Feifei clenched her fist tightly—a single drop of blood seeping out from underneath the fingernail that had dug deep into the hollow of her palm. Just a second ago, she was still proudly boasting about her results, and the next moment, Yin Shaoyuan had basically given her a slap in the face!

Wasn’t she just an illegitimate daughter from the countryside? How could she have gotten such brilliant education in some backwater place? To the extent that she even took the spot of being the national top ranker! Thinking back to during the day, when the entire class had been discussing this year’s top ranker and runner up. The top ranker that everyone had been admiring and respect was this person in front of her—the person who was loved by the Yin family. The disdain and acid in her heart were almost threatening to explode from within!

No matter how good a mask she had up, Yin Feifei was not able to hide her true nature. There had been no competition before, and she didn’t know what jealousy was like. With such a strong competitor right in front of her eyes, it was hard for her to remain calm for the moment. She had a stiff smile plastered on her face.

Tang Yanling glanced at Yin Feifei for a moment and the smile on her face faded slightly. With sharp eyes, she already knew what Yin Feifei was feeling inside. The purpose tonight was to make Gu Xiqiao happy by bringing a friend of the same age, but it seemed like she had made a mistake this time.

At this moment, Yin Feifei who was full of burning resentment in her eyes, caught sight of Tang Yanling’s eyes on her. Her face grew pale immediately. Shivers filled her body as her hands became ice cold—a chill running up her spine. Tang Yanling…she was giving up on her!

Everything she had in the family was due to her having Tang Yanling’s favor. If she lost this relationship, then she really would have nothing left.
