Chapter 104

Xiao Wanling had also been very angry when she heard about it previously.

How could there still be such an irresponsible father in this world?

But when she saw Xu Hao with her own eyes today, she found that it wasn't at all like what Xu Hongzhuang had described.

Are you sure you weren't saying the opposite?

Uncle Xu gave her such a good impression, how could he be the kind of person Xu Hongzhuang made him out to be?

"Alright, alright, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you still want to listen to me play the Piano or not?"

Xu Hao's changes were simply too huge. Seeing her best friend's expression, Xu Hongzhuang knew that even if she explained the reason, Wanling wouldn't believe it.

So she simply made up an excuse.

Xiao Wanling obediently shut her mouth.

You're the victim now, you call the shots. I'll just listen to you, alright?

She swallowed back the words she had prepared to persuade her best friend to be a dutiful daughter to her father.

An expectant expression appeared on her face.

"Of course I want to listen. Listening to the youngest Piano grandmaster perform alone must be an opportunity countless people would beg for."

Xu Hongzhuang ignored her antics, extending her slender hands as her fingertips danced.

Clang clang… Clang clang… Clanging away…

The song came to an end.

Xiao Wanling was still caught in the Yu Yun brought by the Piano notes.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses, her face plastered with shock.

"Hongzhuang, how did your Piano skills improve by so much?"

When Xu Hongzhuang performed at the Shanghai Concert Hall back then, she was also present.

She originally intended to ask her about it, but had to leave temporarily due to an urgent matter, so she never got the chance.

The two best friends often chatted together, and Xu Hongzhuang frequently shared the songs she composed.

Therefore, she knew her best friend's Piano playing very well.

It was definitely not as formidable as it was now.

It had already reached the level of Edward.

"He taught me."

Xu Hongzhuang did not hide it, instead admitting to it generously.

Anyway, her best friend knew everything.

"Who?"

Xiao Wanling was stunned for a moment before the realization dawned on her.

She couldn't help feeling utterly speechless at this best friend of hers who didn't appreciate her father's greatness.

"I see…"

On the day Edward held his concert, she had already known that divine piece of Music was played by Xu Hao.

Under Xu Hao's guidance, it was no wonder Xu Hongzhuang had improved so much.

Xu Hongzhuang practiced the Piano while chatting with her best friend.

Time ticked away bit by bit…

Bang bang!

The study door was knocked on.

Xu Hao walked in from the doorway.

This time was precisely when he practiced the Piano with his daughter.

First, he would have Xu Hongzhuang play a piece, and Xu Hao would give a brief critique, pointing out its shortcomings.

Then, amidst Xiao Wanling's dumbfounded gaze…

Xu Hao began teaching Xu Hongzhuang hand-in-hand.

Xu Hongzhuang didn't resist in the slightest; everything felt so natural.

What the hell is going on here?

Xu Hongzhuang's personality was just like hers, if not even more extreme; she had never spoken to a member of the opposite sex at school.

Let alone engaging in such intimate contact.

Didn't Xu Hongzhuang dislike her father?

She wasn't even willing to call him dad, so why was she willing to let Xu Hao embrace her like that?

And when Xiao Wanling heard the Piano notes burst forth under Xu Hao's hand-in-hand instruction with Xu Hongzhuang…

She understood.

The divine song appeared once again.

Not just that Symphony of Destiny, any other piece Xu Hao played sounded just as amazing.

It felt like her ears were going to get pregnant.

[Ding… Xu Hongzhuang's heart rate accelerated, Emotion Points +666…]

[Ding… Xiao Wanling felt deep admiration, Emotion Points +888…]

Xu Hongzhuang wasn't as calm as she appeared on the surface.

She had gotten used to playing the Piano with Xu Hao alone in the study.

Now that her good best friend had seen it, her sense of shame was bursting through the roof…

Xiao Wanling was listening in rapturous intoxication.

Her ears twitched slightly as the study door was pushed open.

Turning her head to look, it turned out to be the two sisters, Shiqing and Hua Yi, returning from school.

"Dad, it's our turn today. Dad is biased; these past few days you've only been teaching Third Sister and not us."

After a Piano piece ended, Xu Huayi stepped forward, hooked her arm around his, and pulled him outward.

Xu Hao let go of Xu Hongzhuang.

"Alright, we agreed I'd teach you today, are you afraid I'd stand you up?"

"Of course I wouldn't blame Dad, I'm just worried that certain people are clinging to Dad and refusing to let go…"

When Xu Huayi said this, her eyes stared straight at Xu Hongzhuang.

Xu Hongzhuang's face flushed red.

Indeed, such a thing had happened.

Previously, she had been desperately eager to improve her Piano skills, greedily absorbing Piano knowledge.

It was originally the time for Xu Hao to teach the two younger sisters, but she stubbornly pestered him and wouldn't let him leave.

"Let's go, let's go. Today Dad is ours, don't even think about fighting us for him…"

Xu Huayi pulled Xu Hao and walked outside.

Xu Shiqing followed helplessly behind.

This younger sister of hers really, didn't she know Third Sister had been in a bad mood lately?

However, thinking of how Dad was about to teach her painting…

That tiny bit of guilt was instantly thrown to the back of her mind.

Her mood became cheerful.

"What's the situation?"

Seeing Xu Huayi fighting her best friend for Xu Hao, Xiao Wanling was somewhat dumbfounded.

She looked at Xu Hongzhuang with confusion.

Xu Hongzhuang explained how Xu Hao taught her two younger sisters painting and Calligraphy respectively…

"What?"

Xiao Wanling's expression changed drastically in shock.

Not only does Xu Hao play the Piano so well, but he also knows Calligraphy and painting?

Are 50-year-old men nowadays all this versatile?

She wondered how Xu Hao fared in painting and Calligraphy.

Judging by the two sisters asking him to teach them, it should be pretty good.

Xiao Wanling instantly became interested, grabbing her best friend and walking outside.
