The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.145 Golden Finger (4)

Fu Hui glanced at the grimace on Joe David's face and said to Xiao Yu, "What he means is that he wishes to compete with you again, either Flight of the Bumblebee again or another piece of your choice."

Xiao Yu crossed her arms at Joe David. "Impossible." Then, she turned to Fu Hui. "Help me tell him that I won't compete with him."

Fu Hui frowned. "Why?"

Xiao Yu immediately said, "Why would I compete if I've already won? So that I can lose?"

Fu Hui, "..." For a moment, she had no idea how to refute her.

Joe David still wanted to speak, but Xiao Yu's phone began to ring right then.

"Hello?"

While listening, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll have Hao Tian pick you up, then you can come over and practice every week!"

After saying that, Xiao Yu passed the phone to Hao Tian who was resting in the garage. "Surprise, Yu Tong will be coming to ours to practice the piano in the future and you'll be responsible for picking her up and dropping her off every week. Happy?"

Then, after a few more words, Xiao Yu hung up and turned back to look at the living room. Very good! The piano's all ready. Fu Hui was already tuning the piano while Joe David watched. Sometimes he would get bored and look around, even looking surprised when he sees the decorative paintings on the wall.

Xiao Yu went to the living room and sat down, watching TV and snacking on chips. Ji Xuan and the two kids had already gone to work and school, so only Kong Yuqing was around.

Kong Yuqing came over to serve tea to the guests. The staff who helped move the piano had already left, leaving only Joe David and Fu Hui who was tuning the piano.

Xiao Yu herself was a high school graduate and probably scored around 40 points in her English entrance exam. Still, it's fortunate that the original Xiao Yu was a college student. Though, she took a year off in the middle and ended up dropping out because of the divorce and Xiao Ruoguang's birth.

Xiao Yu sighed. In the end, both of them were high school graduates, though their degree of learning was not the same. At the very least, the original Xiao Yu was in a much better position than her. Unfortunately, the original Xiao Yu was in the same position as her without a degree in today's society.

But the good news is that the original Xiao Yu had her piano skills to support her and didn't die of starvation.

Hey, speaking of which, she wondered if she could still find her high school diploma.

Xiao Yu glanced at Joe David again, wondering if she could practice her English listening. If she wanted to be a pianist, she definitely had to learn English.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yu thought of some simple English questions to ask him. "How old are you?"

Joe David was surprised. He answered, "I’m 18."

Xiao Yu made a comprehending expression. "Wa, so young."

Joe David sweated a little. "Thank you."

Xiao Yu then asked, "What color do you like?"

Joe David, "Blue."

Xiao Yu smiled. "Is good."

Joe David nodded. After being asked more than 10 childish questions by Xiao Yu, Joe David couldn't take it anymore and asked, "What're you trying to do?"

Xiao Yu was surprised. "Oh, I know that one! That means...I know what that means."

Joe David, "??? What?"

"I'm learning English!" Xiao Yu finally answered what Joe David was wondering about.

Unable to take any more, Joe David said to Fu Hui, "I want to go home."

Fu Hui answered calmly, "Go."

Joe David, "..."

When Fei Yutong came over, Xiao Yu finally had her fill of messing with Joe David. The piano was also ready.

When she saw Xiao Yu, she immediately called out to her with respect, "Teacher Xiao!"

Xiao Yu smiled and beckoned her over. "Come here, quickly. This is my new piano."

Fei Yutong went over and was surprised to see the piano. "Is this a Bechstein D282?"

Xiao Yu nodded. "Amazing, isn't it? My son bought it for me."

Fei Yutong nodded. Then, as if she thought of something, she took out a sheet music from her bag and handed it to Xiao Yu. "I've been practicing this piece for a long time. I can play it fluently now!"

Xiao Yu took a look at it, and remembering that Joe was also a pianist, she shouted to him, "Joe! Can you play this?"

But as she got no response, she turned to look at the man on the sofa, only to see Joe David looking at Fei Yutong with a smitten expression on his face.

Xiao Yu, "..." She began to wonder what had gone wrong in the script 404 passed to her. This Fei Yutong...She looks just like the white lotus heroine!

"Hey, Joe!!!" Xiao Yu shouted.

Fu Hui had to nudge him a little before he came back to his senses. Xiao Yu said teasingly, "Can you play this?”
