Chapter 188: Chapter 187: A Slap in the Face

In the end, Qi Zhen’s team didn’t even manage to secure third place in the competition.

In the audience, the three members of the Chen Family watched the award ceremony below, exchanging awkward glances among themselves; the scene was quite embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yue, who joined the competition at the last minute, won the contest. Even more surprising was Qi Zhen’s unprecedented poor performance, with her final shot even completely missing the target.

Previously, Qi Zhen had confidently claimed that her mental strength wasn’t so poor that she couldn’t compete in the same event as Qi Yue.

However, based on today’s competition, Qi Yue’s level was far superior to Qi Zhen’s. Even if Qi Zhen had performed normally, she wouldn’t have been able to win against Qi Yue, especially since Qi Zhen’s performance had been severely affected after Qi Yue entered the competition.

Could it be that everything that college classmate of Qi Yue had said was true?

Back then, Qi Yue truly gave up the competition for the sake of Qi Zhen…

Now, it all seemed to make sense. Otherwise, why would Qi Yue have given up shooting with her level of skill?

“Could it really be that I was wrong…” Qi Wanli staggered to his feet, looking a decade older in just a moment.

“Zhenzhen won’t be in trouble, will she? Let’s go and check on her!” Yu Shuhua urged anxiously.

Qi Wanli closed his eyes, “After so many years, if she still can’t bear this much, then she might as well leave the shooting team early.”

Yu Shuhua, hearing these words, was suddenly furious. “What are you saying! Your daughter lost the competition, and you don’t go to care for her or think of comforting her, instead you stand here making cold remarks!”

Qi Wanli sighed, “Have you ever thought, while Zhenzhen loses and we comfort her, what about Yueyue all these years…”

Yu Shuhua paused, then said, “Yueyue… Yueyue doesn’t need it…”

Qi Yue had hardly ever lost. How could she need their comfort?

But considering Zhenzhen’s condition, if they ignored her, she really might end up in trouble. How could that be the same?

Qi Wanli shook his head, his face full of regret, “Zhenzhen has been too well protected by us…”

Actually, he had always had a bias. After all, his elder daughter wasn’t personally trained by him. Given a choice between the two, he had preferred that his younger daughter, whom he had personally coached, continue shooting. He wanted to be the one to fulfill her dreams, not the second daughter trained by someone else.

But now, after five years, a single city-level competition, like a heavy slap on his face, forced him to admit his mistake and filled him with irreparable regret.

Because of that bit of bias back then, he spoiled both Yueyue’s great potential and his own hope of fulfilling a dream…

As for Zhenzhen’s current situation, if she continues to be impetuous and unambitious in the future, even being unable to overcome her psychological fears to this day, she will forever remain stagnant…

Out of concern, Qi Wanli, Yu Shuhua, and the people from the Chen Family still hurried together to the lounge to check on Qi Zhen.

“Zhenzhen… Zhenzhen! Are you alright?”

Seeing Qi Zhen sitting alone on a chair in the lounge, pale-faced, Yu Shuhua hurried over to embrace her.

Yu Shuhua had also thought that after so many years, Qi Zhen would be fine, which is why she hadn’t stopped Yueyue when she said she also wanted to join the competition. She even told Yueyue earlier to stop growing potatoes and consider returning to shooting instead.

She could never have expected an outcome like this…

Qi Zhen’s condition seemed even worse than before…
