The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains - Chapter 132
Ch.132 Piano Store (3)
The girl’s mother hesitated even more. She turned to look at her husband and then said to her daughter, “How about we look at another one instead?”
The girl was unwilling. She looked down and wiped her tears. “But I enjoy the feeling when I play on this piano. I’d be able to play well if I practiced on this one.”
The girl’s father didn’t like the girl crying so he discussed it with the mother. Then the family of three went to the other room to ask the owner of the store about the price.
Xiao Yu shrugged her shoulders and said, “They’ll come back and choose another one for sure.”
Ji Xuan asked, “How do you know?”
Xiao Yu explained, “At the very least, this piano costs 600,000 and that’s the price abroad. If it’s imported, adding onto all sorts of fees, it’d definitely be more than 600,000. Ordinary families won’t be able to afford the price. But I didn’t think there would actually be such a good handsome piano within this store. Indeed, there is more to it than meets the eyes.”
Ji Xuan stayed silent for a while before saying, “Let’s buy it.”
“Huh?” Xiao Yu turned to look at him.
Ji Xuan pointed at the piano and said, “Since it’s pretty good, let’s buy it.”
Xiao Yu froze and smiled a charming smile. “It’s fine. I’m just using it for practice. An ordinary piano is good enough.”
“Since there are differences between a good and bad piano, then there must be differences to pianos that are good and bad for practicing.” Ji Xuan said.
Xiao Yu leaned against Ji Xuan’s shoulders and said, “Ex-husband, you’re really nice.”
Ji Xuan asked, “…So are you going to buy it or not?” Although he said this, he didn’t move to the side.
After joking, Xiao Yu stood up straight and said, “Nevermind. I don’t really like this one anyway. The pitch of the piano is a bit low. Shitan’s brand isn’t the best of the four top piano brands. But after arriving in the mainland, there is a huge difference between the price here and abroad. Let’s look around some more. Maybe we can find a bargain.”
Ji Xuan said nothing else, following behind the mother with the two children. The family of three returned after asking for the price. The girl was weeping and the father kept his head down, dejected, clearly not knowing what to do.
The girl’s mother was comforting her. Xiao Yu looked before continuing to look for her own piano.
After passing by a domestically produced piano, Xiao Yu played several keys before saying, “This one is pretty good.”
Ji Xuan didn’t understand this. He knew that outsiders like to look at professionals banter over issues like this. However, the two piano’s high pitch clearly gave people a different feeling. The one from abroad was a bit more dull while the domestically produced one was a bit louder. However, the one abroad gave off a more comfortable feeling.
“This one is pretty good?” Ji Xuan asked.
“Mn. I’m just using this for practice anyway. It’s not like I’m going to participate in an international competition.” Xiao Yu smiled.
The other group of people coming over to buy a piano heard Xiao Yu’s words and laughed. “It’s not like you can attend it anyway.”
Her friend tugged her and exclaimed a bit embarrassed, “Sorry, my friend is quite frank with her words. Sorry.”
This girl had an okay attitude so Xiao Yu didn’t mind. She nodded.
The girl that was tugged was a bit unhappy. She told her friend, “I was just telling the truth. It’s hard to break away from the so-called grade level exams as amateurs. To a pianist, whether a piano is good or bad requires good hearing.”
“Sh. Keep your voice down. But don’t you know how expensive imported pianos abroad cost? In top-tier pianos, Shitan would cost around 800,000. How can anyone afford it?” Her friend’s voice got smaller and smaller.
Ji Xuan looked at them and turned to say to Xiao Yu, “Let’s buy Shitan’s.”
Xiao Yu was speechless.
