"You play quite well, Miss Ning, truly a woman of many talents!"
"People are even more beautiful than the music!"
"Listening to Miss Ning play the piano is undoubtedly a pleasure."
"..."
Both Lu Qinghe and Lu Jinjin had faces as dark as thunder. Ning Xixi had chosen a well-known classic piece, but the difficulty of this piece was extrely low, sothing even beginners could easily play!
Yet Ning Xixi managed to play with an air of sophistication! She made the piece stylish! She shifted the focus from the complexity of the piano piece back to the music itself, and to her as a person.
Instead of witnessing Ning Xixi embarrass herself, she received resounding applause!
Ji Yebai found it amusing to watch the two cunning ones outfox themselves, daring to bully Ji Yebai’s woman, really asking for trouble!
Lu Jinjin didn’t give up and whispered to Lu Qinghe, to which Lu Qinghe nodded, "Go ahead, Jinjin, your aunt will always support you."
Gong Xiu was her child with her ex-husband. Since she and her ex-husband were busy with work and hardly raised Gong Xiu, Lu Jinjin felt more like her own child!

"Brother Yebai, Sister Xixi played the piece beautifully," Lu Jinjin said with twinkling almond eyes as she handed a glass of champagne to Ji Yebai, "Jinjin would like to treat you to a drink~"
Ji Yebai’s lips curled into a smile, his expression cool and detached. His dark eyes seed to pierce through everything, and Lu Jinjin felt as though she could get lost in them.
Ji Yebai took the glass from her, his slender fingers playing with the cup, the tulip-colored liquid beautifully complinting his fair skin.
Utterly seductive.
"Brother Yebai, your hands are really handso..." Lu Jinjin’s eyes were full of adoration.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Yes!" Lu Jinjin nodded vigorously, "Not just your hands, your eyes are handso, your nose is handso, even your lips are handso..."
Ji Yebai smiled, noncommittal.
"Your hand will get tired holding the glass, let Jinjin hold it for you," said Lu Jinjin, shyly lowering her lashes, "Jinjin can even feed you..."
Ji Yebai glanced at her thick fake eyelashes that seed capable of killing flies, and sneered inwardly.
Did she really think he was foolish? Couldn’t he guess that sothing was amiss with the drink?
A fifteen-year-old girl wouldn’t know these sleazy tricks if not for adult coercion.
"I’m afraid I can’t drink this," Ji Yebai said, his brows raised slightly, "However, I have a gift for you."
"Really? Brother Yebai, are you giving Jinjin a birthday gift?"
Lu Jinjin was ecstatic, not noticing the mocking curl of Ji Yebai’s thin lips.
"I had soone bring it, it should have been delivered to your house steward."
Lu Jinjin frantically called for the butler, "Bring the gift Brother Yebai sent ! Hurry up!"
The butler rolled his eyes subtly, "Yes."
Ji Yebai’s impression of Lu Jinjin worsened. The butler, appearing to be quite aged, must have been with the Lu family for many years. Lu Jinjin’s attitude towards him spoke volus about her character.
Monts later, the butler arrived with two servants carrying a large box.
"Miss, this is the gift Mr. Ji has sent for you," the butler said indifferently.
"Hurry up and open it! What are you waiting for?"
The butler, suppressing his displeasure, waved to the servants to open the box.
Lu Jinjin looked eagerly——
Inside the large box, neatly arranged, were rows of...books.
"High School Entrance Exam High-Scoring Sprint Collection 1-30""Three-Year High School Entrance Exam Five-Year Sample""You’re Only One Step Away from High Scores"
Lu Jinjin’s smile froze: "..."
