Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
His gaze slowly fell on the box in i Shu’s hands, “Sister, is that sothing Mom left behind?”
i Shu softly replied, “Yes, it is. Do you want to open it and take a look?”
i Xuan was both surprised and delighted, “Yes! Thank you, Sister!”
i Shu lovingly patted his head, “Do you know if Mom left anything else? Where are they?”
i Xuan held the small box and thought hard, “They should all be in Dad’s safe. But I rember Mom had a ring; it seems to be with Aunt Wang.”
Upon hearing this, i Shu’s expression darkened, “How could it be with her?”
i Xuan pouted in annoyance, “It seems like it was the ring Mom and Dad used during their engagent! 1 saw Aunt Wang showing it off to other aunties, and when 1 asked for it, she said Dad gave it to her.”
But considering how concerned Dad was about Mom’s belongings, Wang Yue was likely lying!
Of course, i Shu also thought of this possibility, and her face imdiately turned cold, “1 understand. I will make sure to get back everything that belongs to Mom.”
“I can help Sister too!” i Xuan smiled happily and carefully took out the necklace from the box, seeking i Shu’s permission before doing so.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” He had never seen such a beautiful necklace before. It was simple and elegant, not overly extravagant, and most importantly, it had a unique design. The central peace pearl even had the character “Bai” engraved on it.
i Shu rembered that this was Mom’s favorite necklace when she was alive.
Tears flowed again uncontrollably.
i Xuan panicked for a mont and quickly put the necklace back in the box, returning it to i Shu, “Sister, please don’t cry. I won’t look anymore.”
“It’s not because of you.” i Shu held back her tears and smiled, gently rubbing i Xuan’s head, “Can you help put it on?”
“Sure!”
i Xuan was putting a necklace on soone else for the first ti, but he didn’t take much ti.
Watching the necklace elegantly resting on his sister’s delicate collarbone, i Xuan smiled sincerely from the bottom of his heart. Then, looking satisfied, he returned to his room to do his howork.
The next day, the school, which had been peaceful, suddenly beca abuzz with rumors from an unknown source, giving everyone a new topic to discuss over tea and als.
“Hey, did you hear? It seems i Shu pushed her sister i Mu down the stairs in order to participate in this piano competition!”
“Is it true? I don’t think i Shu is that kind of person! But it’s true that i Mu hasn’t co to school for several days!”
“Now that you ntion it, i Mu used to be so popular at school. How co she suddenly seems to have disappeared?”
These words only circulated in a small circle, reaching the ears of the students of Class 6, only to be collectively condemned by them.
Ever since i Shu used her charm skill once, she beca extrely popular in the class, and no one dared to say anything negative about her.
So these rumors only circulated for a short while before being firmly suppressed by Class 6 together, and they didn’t even reach i Shu’s ears.
The day of the competition arrived quickly.
The judges for this competition were renowned pianists in Lin City, and one of them was i Mu’s aunt, Feng Wei.
It could be said that i Mu’s piano skills were taught by her. She knew both her strengths and weaknesses very well.
She had also heard that i Mu would represent Yi Middle School in the piano competition, so she wanted to give i Mu so guidance before the competition. But when she called, i Mu started to stamr and cry on the other side of the line.
Although i Mu was her illegitimate niece, she was still her family. Feng Wei patiently comforted her.
i Mu finally stamred, “Aunt, don’t ask, it’s all my fault for failing you.”
“Then how did you fall down the stairs?” Feng Wei was puzzled and asked directly.
i Mu was waiting for her to ask this. She bit her lip and softly sobbed, “Aunt, it was my fault. It has nothing to do with my sister. We had a disagreent at ho, and I… It’s all my fault!”
Feng Wei still didn’t quite understand. What did this have to do with i Shu?
No matter how she asked, i Mu refused to say anything more.
She had no choice but to tell i Mu to rest well, take care of herself, and she would visit the hospital after she finished her work.
At this point, doubts were already seeded in Feng Wei’s heart.
This matter was significant, and she had people inquire multiple tis until she finally heard so rumors.
“Chairwoman, 1 heard that Miss i Shu pushed Miss i Mu down the stairs in order to secure her spot in representing Yi Middle School in the competition. Miss i Mu suffered severe injuries and is still in the hospital, so she couldn’t co.” The secretary reported what she had learned.
Feng Wei furrowed her brow irritably, “I knew there was sothing off when Mumu spoke vaguely on the phone.. It seems that i Shu has beco wild after living in the countryside for a few years, to the point where she dared to harm her own sister!”
