Chapter 22: Piano Master
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Don't move, that's my money!"
Cui Si woke up from her dream where she caught someone trying to steal her money.
By the time she opened her eyes, the room was already filled with sunlight and Cui Si no longer had the urge to sleep in.
She picked up a magazine and went to the toilet. This was a habit that she had developed a long time ago. If she did not read anything, she would feel restless for the rest of the day.
[Ding dong! Detected that the host is reading the autobiography of a piano master. Reward: Expert Piano Skills.]
"Ah!"
Cui Si finally reacted. It was already a new day. How could she have casually picked up a book and read it?
The system had already given her the reward for today, but it was just Expert Piano Skills.
It was useless to her. Where and when was she going to use it? Nevertheless, she didn't refuse it but she still felt like crying herself to death in the toilet.
...
Cui Si brought Li Leyi to the entrance of Tianxi. Yang Zi was already there, waiting for Cui Si to arrive.
He brought Cui Si and Li Leyi to look at the house first while waiting for the other students.
Cui Si was shocked as she looked around. This was not a house, it was a palace.
There was nothing the place did not have.
It was a smart home equipped with smart appliances. It even had a huge indoor bathroom, big enough that it could become a swimming pool.
Li Leyi was also quite shocked. He had thought Cui Si was just an ordinary girl. How could she possibly be able to afford a house here in Tianxi?
Yang Zi looked enviously at Li Leyi. The latter had really struck the lottery.
Although Cui Si was not pretty, she was not bad-looking either. Not only did he get a girlfriend, but he could also live in such a house. To Yang Zi, Li Leyi had already attained all men's dreams.
When Wang Xiaotian and the others finally arrived, they were shocked at the sight of the place.
Wang Xiaotian looked at Cui Si in astonishment. What happened to the poor and unlucky Cui Si?
She had just been fired and dumped, but now she was the owner of this luxurious unit? Had she been keeping her potential hidden all this time?
"Yang Zi, this is just a showroom, right? Come on, just own up and tell us the truth.
"If your Manager Song finds out about this, he will definitely skin you alive. If you tell us the truth now, we're willing to cover for you."
Yang Zi was furious. What was wrong with Wang Xiaotian?
She had already seen the place in person and yet she still refused to believe the truth. Did she have an inferiority complex?
"Wang Xiaotian, what do you mean?
"The person who delivered the keys to Cui Si yesterday was Manager Song. Why would we lie to you?"
Wang Xiaotian snorted and ignored him. To her, Yang Zi could say anything he wanted since there were no outsiders.
Then, she turned and glared at Cui Si.
Wang Xiaotian had always wanted to be better than Cui Si. She even willingly got together with an older man just to get what she wanted.
And yet, Cui Si managed to get herself a handsome man and this luxurious place without having to do much!
The others started to get tired of Wang Xiaotian. Cui Si had already proven everything she claimed at the reunion. Why was Xiaotian still trying to pick a fight with her?
"Xiaotian, Yang Zi is right. We've already seen Cui Si's house."
"That's right."
"We believe Cui Si and Yang Zi."
Wang Xiaotian turned her furious glare to the ones who had once supported her. They had already agreed to gang up against Cui Si before coming, so why did they suddenly betray her? She was so angry that she decided to storm out.
"Wang Xiaotian, are you leaving just like that? But Cui Si said that she is going to treat us to a good meal later!"
Yang Zi shouted after Wang Xiaotian mockingly.
After lunch, Cui Si and Leyi returned home.
"Leyi, so what exactly did you need me to do?"
Only then did Li Leyi remember that he hadn't explained much to Cui Si about the party. "Well, Lin Xiang invited me to attend a banquet."
When Cui Si heard Lin Xiang's name, she wanted to argue. Weren't Li Leyi and Lin Xiang not on good terms?
Why did he still want to attend Lin Xiang's banquet?
Li Leyi could see through Cui Si's thoughts and sighed helplessly. He did not want to go either, but there was nothing he could do.
There was someone he needed to speak to at the banquet. That person could save his sister.
However, this banquet required everyone to bring their partners. Li Leyi had no choice but to ask Cui Si for help.
After listening to his explanation, Cui Si reassured him that she would be his partner.
To her, attending a banquet was simple. All she had to do was eat, drink, and have fun.
What else would they need to do? Show off their talents?
