Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!
Chapter 278 - Chapter 278 Chapter 278 Offended the Wife

Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Offended the Wife Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Offended the Wife Sister Tong got off work and returned home, only to see Ruan Shushu happily cleaning a zither.

She was surprised, “Shushu, where did this zither come from?”

The Solitary Zither, a famous zither throughout the ages!

Ruan Shushu smiled sweetly, “Baby gave it to me.”

“Xia Weibao? Why would she give you a zither?”

“Today, Baby and I went shopping, and she gave it to me. At that time, Yan Yuexian even tried to take it from me, but she ended up bullied by Baby until she didn’t dare to speak.”

The more she said, the happier Ruan Shushu became–the daughter of the Presidential Mansion couldn’t beat her!

Sister Tong hurried over, “Shushu, how much does this zither cost?”

“Ten million!” Ruan Shushu was incredibly proud.

With this zither, even if she never went to Imperial City University, no one would dare look down on her!

“How could you accept such an expensive gift from someone? Give it back quickly!” Sister Tong was somewhat annoyed.

A zither worth ten million, how could one just accept it casually!

Ruan Shushu hugged the zither protectively, her gaze wary, “What are you doing, Mom? This is what Baby gave me.”

“Just because she gave it, you should accept it? An ordinary zither would be fine, but this is a zither worth millions!”

“So what, she’s a celebrity, she has the money.

Besides, she gave it willingly; it’s not like I asked her for it.”

Sister Tong felt a headache coming on, “Shushu, one should not accept rewards for no merit, give it back!”

Ruan Shushu’s eyes turned red instantly, “Are you even my mother? I suffered so much failing my college entrance exams, what’s wrong with Baby giving me a zither to comfort me? Moreover, I almost lost my life trying to save Baby, how can it be said that I didn’t earn it?”

Seeing Sister Tong about to speak, Ruan Shushu raised her voice, “You’re the one who said, ‘If you don’t take care of yourself, heaven and earth will perish you.’ Why can’t I accept this zither?

Besides, I haven’t stolen or robbed or done anything extreme. At most, I can be Baby’s personal assistant without a salary, that should be enough, right?”

Having said that, she ran back to her room with the zither.

Behind her, Sister Tong ultimately softened.

She made a phone call to Xia Weibao and thanked her.

In the future, she’d strive to secure more company resources for her as a way to repay her.

After returning to her room, Ruan Shushu took out the video she recorded that day and watched it over and over again.

The fingering technique was completely different from what she had learned, very unique, and the music played was very pleasant to listen to.

Unfortunately, it was too fast, and she couldn’t see clearly at all.

After watching it twice, she still couldn’t make out anything in the footage.

Forget it, she would go to Xia Weibao tomorrow and ask her for teachings; having a tutor on hand meant even saving on tutoring fees.

Ruan Shushu looked at the Solitary Zither and then thought of Sister Tong’s words, feeling somewhat guilty.

This zither was indeed too expensive.

But she truly wanted it.

Thinking of Xia Weibao’s troubles earlier that day, to find ways to increase her fame and boost the attention to “Allure”,

Ruan Shushu decided to post the video of Xia Weibao playing “Ambush from Ten Sides” on Weibo.

She was certain that this clip would go viral!

In the evening, Lu Hualiang got off work but didn’t immediately go home.

Instead, he took a few rounds around Imperial City, waiting until his mood had stabilized before heading back.

He feared that if he couldn’t contain his jealousy, he might lash out at Xia Weibao and scare her.

When he got home, Housekeeper Fu said Xia Weibao was upstairs, so he also went up.

Upon entering, he saw Xia Weibao packing her things.

Lu Hualiang’s expression darkened, “What are you doing?”

Xia Weibao looked at him calmly, then turned away and continued packing her clothes.

It was as if a wild beast lived inside Lu Hualiang, roaring to break free!

Indeed, she still refused to face it, still wanted to distance herself from him.

He took a deep breath, pushing down the grim demon.

He could not lose his temper; if he didn’t want to lose her, he had to learn patience.
