She was envious of Jing Xi: how lucky she was to be loved by not one, but two men!

“Ms. Xue, I don’t understand. You’re an excellent violinist, why do you need a substitute?” Xu Xiyan asked.

Somewhere along the way, Xue Yating had, without realizing it herself, started thinking of Xu Xiyan as a good friend. She waved her right hand as she explained, “I don’t want to do this either, to be honest. But I injured my wrist ligament during the car accident.”

“You injured your hand?”

Xu Xiyan knew very well that a hand injury was no laughing matter: it was enough to destroy the career of a violinist.

“Yeah. According to my doctor, it’ll take a year for me to recover. He says I’m not allowed to touch the violin for the next 12 months.”

“And that’s why you’re looking for someone to stand in for you in the meantime?”

“That’s right. I don’t want to put my career on hold, and I don’t want to let my fans down, either.”

Xue Yating knew what she was worried about. She added helpfully, “If you think 50-50 is too little for you, I don’t mind giving you more. We’ll split it 30-70 instead.”

“No, Ms. Xue, I’m not complaining about the money. I’m more than happy with splitting the pay 50-50.”

After a moment of careful consideration, Xu Xiyan finally made up her mind. “I can help you. I don’t really care about how we split the money—50-50, 30-70, it doesn’t matter. But I have one condition.”

“What is it? Tell me.”

“Next year, once all the performances are over... I want you to give me Artemis.”

Xue Yating was taken aback by the request. She cocked her head to the side as she considered it. “You want my violin?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Xue Yating got out her precious baby. She opened the case and gently caressed the violin inside. She turned and smiled at Xu Xiyan. “Jing Xi, you have great taste. Did you know that I spent a fortune just to get my hands on this violin?”

It was obvious that the violin was special to Xue Yating from the way she cherished and maintained it. Xu Xiyan’s gaze fell upon the glossy, polished surface of the violin as she whispered, “I know. You spent 30 million Yuan on it.”

“That’s right, I bought it for 30 million Yuan at an auction. What makes you think I’d be willing to give it to you?”
