Chapter 299: I Won’t Let Her Have Her Way
“But, why would your dad adopt a child instead of having his own?”
“Hmph, all because his ex-wife was a barren hen. Otherwise, would he have had to do that?
“My dad initially just wanted to adopt a son. But there weren’t so many boys at the orphanage back then and he couldn’t find a suitable one at that time, so he adopted a daughter. The following year, he found someone suitable, so he brought Qiao Chen home too.”
Linda thought about it for a while. “So, Qiao Mianmian and Qiao Chen don’t know about this?”
“Mm.” Qiao Anxin sneered. “I don’t know why my dad insists on keeping this a secret. He doesn’t allow my mother or me to discuss this with anyone. Perhaps he’s grown to love those bastard children, especially Qiao Mianmian... she was once his precious daughter, after all.
“He’s worried about hurting their self-esteem and dignity if word got out.
“But a bastard child is a bastard child, regardless. Nothing can hide it. I doubt this can be kept under wraps forever too. Ha, I wonder how that slut will react when she finds out that she’s just a bastard child.”
Linda was slightly startled to see the evilness and hatred in Qiao Anxin’s eyes.
She couldn’t understand why Qiao Anxin still hated her so much when she already got hold of Su Ze.
What threat did Qiao Mianmian pose to her?
She had already outdone Qiao Mianmian in all aspects.
“This bastard child wants to fight with me and do better than me... dream on!” Qiao Anxin narrowed her eyes and clenched her teeth. “I won’t let her have her way.”

A hotel in Yuncheng City.
The audition was about to begin.
When Qiao Mianmian’s turn came, she entered the performance venue. Among the panel of judges, the man in the middle had his eyes light up when he saw her.
His gaze was on her the whole time.
Qiao Mianmian gave a presentable bow and said, “Good morning, teachers. I’m Qiao Mianmian, currently a student at Yuncheng City Film Academy. I’m not signed under any firm at the moment, and I’m trying out for the third female role, the character of Shen Yinian.”
The other crew members around seemed pleasantly surprised to see her too.
The girl standing before them had such a beautiful face.
Her facial features were pretty and exquisite, and she was naturally charismatic.
Her long, lush hair was smooth and shiny, like that on a shampoo commercial.
She was wearing a simple white dress without many accessories and appeared like a little goddess who’d just arrived in the mortal world.
Even in a field where handsome and pretty faces were common, her looks were outstanding.
The audition had run for almost an hour and they hadn’t seen a candidate they were satisfied with yet. The crew members and panelists were looking a little restless by now.
Qiao Mianmian’s appearance was a nice and refreshing change.
Most of them perked up quite a bit and regained some interest.
It was a different atmosphere.
“Qiao Mianmian from Yuncheng City Film Academy?”
The man sitting in the middle of the panel was none other than Director Bai Yusheng.
Most of the actors for his shows were picked by him personally. He had the final say in who to cast eventually.
In other words, he had the most power over this decision.
Besides the fact that he was talented and famous, what was more important was that he wasn’t short of money.
