The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.143 Golden Finger (2)

Joe David slammed the keys violently in anger, releasing a harsh noise. In the end, only Xiao Yu's "Flight of the Bumblebee" remained. Since Joe David's playing was over, Xiao Yu gradually slowed down her tempo and ended the piece.

The entire place was silent. Only Xiao Ruoguang and Ji Xuan who were completely ignorant of the situation stood up to applaud her.

"Mama is amazing!" Xiao Ruoguang clapped his hands vigorously.

Ji Yu also praised, "Mama's playing is good, very good."

Joe David, "..."

Joe David approached Xiao Yu and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yu turned around and smiled at him. "Even though you're a student, you shouldn't do that."

Ji Xuan, "..." Isn't her English quite decent?

Joe David was pale-faced. Finally, he asked, "What's your name?"

My, that's my best one, Xiao Yu thought. She immediately responded, "My name is Xiao Yu, and you?"

After saying that, she laughed and said to Ji Xuan, "I could memorize that whole sentence backwards in my first year of middle school, now I finally get to use it!"

Ji Xuan, "..."

Xiao Yu grabbed Joe David's hand and shook it up and down, "Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!" Then, she turned to Fu Hui, "Boss, please tell him my English isn't good! I can't understand it, I had to look up that first sentence on my phone. I was trying to memorize it while I was playing, hahahahaha..."

Fu Hui who felt like she'd just been shown off to by Xiao Yu turned dead inside to Joe David. "She doesn't speak English."

Joe David looked at Xiao Yu in surprise. "What?!"

Fu Hui repeated with certainty, "No, she can't."

Cheerfully, Xiao Yu said to her two children, "Hurry up darlings, let's settle the bill and head home." Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Xing and said, "There are always people better than you. You still have much practice to do on the piano, good luck."

Xiao Xing's eyes were already red. She was completely petrified after watching Joe David play just now. She had been completely suppressed by someone who was also a student like her. She practiced this piece countless times, and even if she lost, she never expected to lose so badly.

She even began to question what she had practiced the past ten years for. But just as she felt a large mountain pressing down on her heart, a quick melody disrupted it. The mountain began to shake and finally collapsed before it could crash down on her heart.

"Boss, bill please." Xiao Yu turned around to pick up Xiao Ruoguang, bringing him to the counter. "Son, after we buy our piano, Mama will play you Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when we get home."

Joe David went up and grabbed Xiao Yu's arm. "You can’t just leave after winning."

Xiao Yu looked at him with a puzzled face, but Ji Xuan quickly pulled his hand away from Xiao Yu. Looking at him, he said, "Don't touch her, she's my wife."

Joe David, "...You, bully...me."

Xiao Yu clicked her tongue and pointed at him. "You're- the- bully- here!" Xiao Yu pointed at Xiao Xing. "She, piano," Xiao Yu made a piano playing gesture, "student, student!" Xiao Yu enunciated herself.

Joe David, "You're a student, too."

Xiao Yu was taken aback, but she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm. "Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much, but I'm 25."

Joe David was even more depressed now. "What, you're 25?"

Xiao Yu nodded. Then, she grinned at Ji Xuan, "He just called me young."

Ji Xuan answered back with a straight face, "He's calling you baby-faced."

Ji Xuan's face went stiff in an instant. She scolded Ji Xuan, "You're the baby-face, your entire family is baby-faced!"

Thus, Ji Xuan looked at Xiao Yu, then at Xiao Ruoguang. "Well, you're not wrong..."

Xiao Yu who was successfully counterargued, "..."

Xiao Ruoguang looked at his mother's expression and immediately tugged at Ji Xuan's arm. "Papa, you can't bully Mama, you're three years older! Teacher said boys have to be nice to girls!"

Ji Xuan, "...Papa understands, Papa won't do it again."

Xiao Ruoguang nodded his head. Fu Hui looked at their family of four and took out Xiao Ruoguang's card from her pocket to check out. Then, she relayed her same old business talk with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu answered, "We're available to accept the delivery any time, you can just pick out a suitable time for us. We always have someone at home."

Fu Hui nodded and scribbled something down. She handed a business card to Xiao Yu and asked, "Have you been learning from a young age?"

Xiao Yu accepted the card and simply answered, "Xiao Cheng's my old man."

Fu Hui was stunned. Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave, she quickly called out, "You're Master Xiao's daughter?"

Xiao Yu turned back and smiled, nodding. "I'm his daughter, and I’m bringing his piano back."

Then, leaving her suave back to Fu Hui, she left into the sunlight, slowly disappearing from her sight.
