Chapter 43: A Bleeding Heart

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

By listening to the murmurings of the crowd, Xu Xiyan learned the identity of the woman who she’d just squabbled with. She was the Peijing-born violin diva, Xue Yating.

If Xu Xiyan remembered correctly, Xue Yating’s father was Xue Zhengrong, the biggest industrialist in the country. It was no wonder he had the power to put his daughter onto the world stage.

Xue Zhengrong had also just mentioned something about Xue Yating wanting a violin. Could it be that she was eyeing Xu Xiyan’s mother’s violin?

Her heart began to beat incredibly fast. She picked up her money and her bag from the floor, and ran to the auction registration office.

After registering and getting a bidder number, Xu Xiyan entered the auction hall. She looked for a seat and sat down.

Finally, the auction started. Pictures and information for each of the five musical instruments were displayed on the big screen. Xu Xiyan recognized the violin named “Artemis”—the one that her mother had used. The one named after her mother.

Her mother’s name was Jing Ruyue, but Artemis was her English name. When Xu Xiyan saw the violin, an image of her mother playing it flashed in her mind.

Many people thought that the violin was worth collecting. It was not only because it was the work of Antonius-Stradivari, but it was also because Artemis had owned it previously.

Artemis was a former world-class violinist, as well as a superstar in the entertainment industry.

Although she had not managed to win the title of Best Actress, she was considered an uncrowned queen in the hearts of the people.

Due to the immeasurable value of the violin, many fought to bid for it. By the second round, its price had risen to 800,000 Yuan.

800,000!?

Xu Xiyan stared as the auctioneer announced the price. Oh my god, 800,000! The money in her bag and her bank card was hardly enough!

Can’t get it back anymore...

A feeling of despair grew within her.

Xu Xiyan felt terrible and hated herself. She felt stupid for not knowing how valuable her mother’s violin would be.

And five years ago, she had pawned it for for a mere 100,000 Yuan.
