CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 278: AT THE AUTOGRAPH SESSION (1)

Zuri Ginger smiled and said, "Okay, Mom."

Charlotte Chester also smiled.

The two of them discussed traveling abroad for quite some time.

During dinner.

Zuri Ginger happily told Aiden Jiang about the plan.

Aiden Jiang nodded and agreed, "If you want to go, just go. These things you can decide for yourself."

"Hmm." Zuri Ginger casually glanced at Mia Ginger, lowered her head and smiled, then asked with a feigned concern, "It’s been two months since the semester started, right? How’s everything going at school? My novel is going to be republished, with book signings and preparations for a TV series adaptation, I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to visit you."

"It’s alright." Mia Ginger nodded, not wanting to say more.

Aiden Jiang glanced up at her and added, "University is like a small society. You’ll gradually see more things, meet more people. Many kids act like they’re liberated when they enter university, but they shouldn’t. They still need to study hard, understand?"

"I know." Mia Ginger looked at him with a smile, pursing her lips, "I’m doing alright at school. The advisor and classmates are really taking good care of me. I’ve been quite busy recently. I’m getting familiar with class duties and preparing for the new student orientation performance, so I haven’t returned much."

"The new student orientation performance?" Zuri Ginger’s voice raised slightly in disbelief, "Are you performing? Singing or dancing? Over the past few years, the performances at the new student orientations of various institutes have been terrible, especially at your New Media Institute. The dances and skits are quite bold. Last year they even got criticized by netizens, saying they looked like night club girls."

"Zuri!"

"Sis!"

Aiden Jiang and Bob Ginger called out to her simultaneously.

Zuri Ginger, having been living comfortably recently, had regained her former lady-of-the-house demeanor at home.

She didn’t regard Mia Ginger at all.

Her approach had changed, and her words were more direct.

Being called out by Aiden Jiang and Bob Ginger, she realized she had overstepped.

She smiled apologetically, "I didn’t mean anything by it, just suddenly remembered those photos from last year."

She glanced up at Aiden Jiang and retorted, "Dad, you know what I’m talking about, right? Last year our school’s New Media Institute’s dance performance, the girls did the twerk dance and got terribly criticized. It caused quite a stir online."

"Let’s eat." Aiden Jiang, no longer in a good mood, gave her a displeased glance.

On second thought, he felt she just reminded him of something.

He raised his eyes towards Mia Ginger and said, "Loving dance is good, but you need to be selective. You’re starting a bit late at your age; dancing should just be a pastime. If you have spare time, it’s better to develop other interests, which will help when finding a job, developing a career, and social interactions in the future."

"Hmm." Mia Ginger looked at him strangely, puzzled, "I never said I liked dance, Dad. Did you forget? Even learning ballroom dancing was challenging for me."

"..." Aiden Jiang was stunned for a moment.

Mia Ginger gave Zuri Ginger an annoyed look and complained, "Sis, can’t you stop guessing everything?"

Zuri Ginger’s face changed slightly, she retorted, "Wasn’t dancing, then it must be singing?"

Mia Ginger put down her chopsticks, speaking earnestly, "No dancing, no singing. I’m busy because I’m the class president."

"Class president?"

Everyone at the table looked at her simultaneously.

Zuri Ginger hesitated and asked, "Main president or vice president?"

"Main president."

"Haha, it’s rare to hear of a girl being the main class president."

"If you haven’t heard, it’s because you’re ignorant, not because it doesn’t happen." Mia Ginger raised her eyebrows slightly, explaining to Aiden Jiang, "Maybe the advisor and classmates thought I did well during the military training. The officer recommended me as an outstanding trainee, so I was just chosen as class president."
