“Uh...um, it’s too expensive.”

Ji Xuan asked, “Is that okay?”

“I mean it is good. Beisen and Shitan are part of the four top-tier piano brands but Shitan isn’t the best one. However, it is really expensive too.” Xiao Yu said.

“Then what’s better?” Ji Xuan continued to ask.

Xiao Yu smiled at him. “You’re really going to buy for me?”

“Yes.” Ji Xuan answered. “What’s the point of earning money if I’m not going to spend it?”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, “You have to spend your money. I agree. But just because you can afford it doesn’t mean I could pay it back.”

“You don’t need to.” He responded.

“Sorry, I’m not used to accepting your favor for free.”

Ji Xuan looked strangely at her. “You deserve the money I’m giving you anyway. Plus, you’re the two kids’ mother. Treat it as the gift they’re giving you. Right, Little Yu?”

“Right, mommy! This is Little Yu’s gift for you. You can pick whatever piano you want. Little yu will buy it for you.” Ji Yi said calmly.

Xiao Yu wanted to say something. Wait, this isn’t right! Therefore, she asked Ji Yu, “How much money do you have?”

Ji Yu looked down and started counting. After a while, she exclaimed unsurely, “I think 200? 300?”

Xiao Yu was speechless.

Ji Xuan explained, “3,560,000.”

Xiao Yu was speechless.

Ji Xuan and Ji Yu both furrowed their brows and asked Xiao Yu, “What’s the matter?”

“You gave her $3,560,000 in allowances?” Xiao Yu retorted.

Ji Xuan also retorted back, “What?”

“Isn’t it too much?” Xiao Yu continued to ask.

“Too much?” Ji Xuan said strangely, “No. It’s all the money she received over the New Years.”

Ji Yu also explained, “It’s not a lot. I saved all of my money.”

Xiao Yu smiled and hummed in agreement. Being poor limited her imagination.

Ji Xuan added, “She earns even more money from the shares in the company. I saved that in another card for her. Speaking of this, Little Guang should get some shares too.”

Xiao Yu nodded. “Oh, so three million or so is just the beginning?”

Then she saw Ji Xuan and Ji Yu looking at her as if it was obvious.

Xiao Yu looked seriously and exclaimed, “Let’s look at the pianos.”

Therefore, the family started looking at the pianos slowly again. As they walked along, they saw the group of students again. They were talking to the family of three.

Xiao Yu walked over to see the girl that was ridiculing her earlier say to the little girl, “To people practicing pianos, the quality of the piano is really important. If we keep using low-tier pianos, it’d ruin her hearings. Look. How many people received the same gains from sacrificing the same amount of hard work? If you spend the same time practicing piano but get a different result, then the problem lies within the piano itself.”

The girl patted the piano in front of her and said, “This store isn’t big but there are all sorts of rare pianos within the capital. Of them contains top-tier pianos. Most important, all the pianos have been tuned before and the prices aren’t that expensive either.”

The little girl’s gaze sparkled hearing this. She admired the girl to her utmost and kept nodding. The girl acted prideful and arrogant as a result. She said, “That’s why 600,000 for Beisen 170 is not expensive. When it’s sold abroad, the price is usually around a million ro so. If the owner is willing to sell this, using this to practice piano is a type of enjoyment too.”

The girl looked back at her father and he smiled bitterly, shaking his head. He had never thought that cultivating an artist would cost that much. The piano at home was a c-tier piano that he got from a second-handed store. He only bought that for $4800. He thought that was it but his daughter got better and better at playing piano and slowly wanted to participate in all sorts of competitions. She also did a pretty good job on regular grade-level exams.
