Qin Yunxi did not cry out in exhaustion nor did she stop, and she would absolutely not.
What Qin Yunxi could do, she could do as well.
Damn it!
Grace unleashed her ultimate burst of energy, matching the drummer's rhythm, and charged forward with all her might.
Everyone was united, their movements synchronized, all challenging their limits and striving for team victory.
"Whoosh—"
The first to cross the finish line.
"We won!"
"We won!"
"Grace, we won!"
Amidst the cheering crowd, Du Ruoxin shouted excitedly to Grace.
Grace looked back, a smile gracing her exhausted face, "We won."
Yes, they had won.
On the shore
Due to their age, Rong Jianchen and his wife, Qin Tianyi and his wife, and others were not suited for such intense physical activities.
Therefore, the two beautiful women each held a global top-tier, state-of-the-art camera (capable of ultra-high definition filming of objects thousands of meters away) and watched the race in the river. However, the only difference was that Feng Linwan's objective was to capture everyone giving their all.
Zhan Lan's objective was to film Grace; she didn't even film her own son, her focus entirely on her "future daughter-in-law" throughout.
Good!
She was satisfied!
Extremely satisfied!
A stubborn girl who refused to admit defeat.
Zhan Lan knew her son's personality all too well. He was too much of a scoundrel, too arrogant. If his partner were too gentle, pretentious, or overly emotional, or an elite in some field, he would surely have her completely under his thumb.
Over the years, she had introduced various types of girls to her son, and none of them had been successful.
But she had never encountered a girl with Grace's personality.
According to a close friend, she was a girl with exceptional self-control, strong principles, and who was solely immersed in her own world.
Perhaps...
Never mind, might as well try.
Regardless of who "bullied (conquered)" whom in the end... in any case, her son would definitely not be the one being bullied.
"Click!"
"Click!"
Zhan Lan pressed the shutter button with all her might, recording and taking photos simultaneously. It was particularly pleasing to the eye when Qin Yunxi and Grace paddled the dragon boat in perfect synchronization, as if they were telepathically connected.
"We won!"
"They won!"
Zhan Lan grabbed Feng Linwan and shouted happily.
Feng Linwan also smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Exactly, exactly, we won."
It was just that this victory had not come easily. Her daughter-in-law had been paddling non-stop, her hands were likely blistered.
Feng Linwan turned and instructed a servant to quickly bring the hand poultices.
She wanted to hand them to her daughter-in-law immediately!
"Madam, please rest assured, everything is prepared," the butler indicated the servants behind him.
Feng Linwan nodded with satisfaction. In any case, her daughter-in-law must not be wronged. "Quickly, quickly, prepare towels too. They are coming ashore."
A thousand-meter high-intensity paddle stroke back and forth had left them not only exhausted but also drenched in sweat.
The dragon boat race was introduced to the Rong family by Feng Linwan, and she knew it better than anyone.
Taking the towel...
She handed it to her son, "Ruoxin must be tired. You will be responsible for serving her drinks later."
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Feng Linwan continued, "And you need to show concern and ask about her well-being."
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Rong Doudou tilted her small head and asked innocently, "Grandma, what should I do then?"
She had originally wanted to serve drinks, but Daddy took that role.
Feng Linwan picked up her granddaughter and kissed her with a smile, "Doudou, will you give Mommy flowers?"
Rong Doudou smiled, "Okay."
The shore was filled with warmth, joy, and laughter. However, an accident occurred beneath the surface.
