Chapter 16: Chapter 016: Never Give Up on a Dream

The ringtone of the cellphone was still sounding incessantly.

Qi Yue pinched the bridge of her nose and answered the call with an expressionless face.

“Hello.”

“Hello! Yueyue! You finally picked up the phone! What are you busy with every day? Why aren’t you even answering Mom’s calls?”

“Preparing my graduation thesis, conducting experiments.”

“What experiments! Isn’t it just raising pigs and planting potatoes every day! With the high scores you got back then, you could have chosen any major at A University, yet you insisted on choosing this farming major. I think your Second Uncle is the one who led you astray in the countryside…”

Qi Yue frowned slightly and cut off her mother’s words, “Mom, did you call me for something?”

“It’s about the arranged date I mentioned to you last time, how have you considered it? Yueyue, Mom is just looking out for you. Being a girl and studying this major, it really ruins your life. Even if you come back now and pick up shooting under your dad, it’s still better than raising pigs and planting potatoes every day! And…”

Hearing this, Qi Yue’s voice turned chilly, “Mom, I’ve said before, I will never touch shooting again for the rest of my life. That should be what you want to see, right? In case it agitates Qi Zhen again and puts too much pressure on her, will you have me give up once again?”

On the other end of the phone, the woman finally fell silent.

After a long pause, the woman finally spoke: “It was Mom who wronged you back then… but at that time… Mom had no choice… With Zhenzhen in that state… I couldn’t just ignore her…”

Qi Yue chuckled, “So, you sacrificed me?”

She could understand; she couldn’t compare to Qi Zhen, who had always been closer to them.

But she was also their daughter.

“Yueyue, can’t you understand Mom? Given the situation back then, if something had happened to your sister, would you have been able to live with yourself? Besides, it’s been so long, we’re all family, who bears grudges?”

The woman on the other side of the phone was getting a bit agitated, then she softened her tone, “Yueyue, you are also Mom’s daughter, how could I not care about you? Mom asked relatives to arrange a blind date for you. The young man comes from a decent family; he earns five to six thousand a month by himself. You could get married right after you graduate!
