Chapter 83

But if you talk about how much Life Qi she had?

Not really.

For no other reason than that Xu Hongzhuang was a great beauty.

She was not a bit inferior to the beautiful landlady Xiao Wanling, and even surpassed her.

Losing to a man, he would not be convinced.

Losing to a woman, he submitted wholeheartedly.

Having rejected Edward's request to apprentice, Xu Hongzhuang and her group walked outward.

Out of the corner of her eye, seeing a familiar figure, Xu Hongzhuang felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She walked over.

"Wanling, why are you here too?"

"I came here, of course, specifically to watch the performance of a great Piano master like you…"

Xiao Wanling's expression was exaggerated, a trace of banter revealing itself in her eyes.

Xu Hongzhuang was her classmate and good best friend.

The two of them had kept in touch even after graduation.

Regarding this best friend's Music level, she understood it clearly.

She could be certain——

That divine song, Symphony of Destiny, was definitely not created by her best friend.

And through her meticulous observation, she discovered the eye contact between Xu Hongzhuang and her father, Xu Hao.

How could she still not understand that the divine song was created by her dad.

Yet the reputation was given to her.

Sure enough, Xiao Wanling saw Xu Hongzhuang's unnatural facial expression, and her heart became even more certain…

A pair of curious gazes fell upon Xu Hao.

She was truly curious about what on earth this man, who clearly had seven daughters yet appeared extremely young, had experienced.

To create that piece of Music that did not bow to destiny.

While Xiao Wanling was looking at Xu Hao, Xu Hao was also sizing her up.

[Character]: Xiao Wanling

[Identity]: Landlady, female lead of 《City Protecting Flower Envoy》

[Charm]: 93 (Max value 100)

[Strength]: 10 (Normal person 10)

[Physique]: 11 (Normal person 10)

[Spirit]: 10 (Normal person 10)

[Favourability]: 20

Not bad, not bad, another leek has come.

Looking at it, she is still her daughter's best friend, wouldn't that be double the happiness?

057 I treat you as a best friend, yet you actually want to be my stepmother?

The two best friends, Xu Hongzhuang and Xiao Wanling, were chatting.

Xu Hao and his group happened to pass by.

"Hongzhuang, this is your friend, right? Why not invite her home to sit for a while?"

Looking at the mature handsome man close at hand, Xiao Wanling simply could not match him with Xu Hongzhuang's father.

"Hello Uncle, I am Hongzhuang's classmate and best friend…"

The whole family had come over, and Xu Hongzhuang had no choice but to make an introduction.

When introducing Su Wanqiu as Xu Hao's wife, Xiao Wanling could not help feeling a bit of loss.

Such a mature handsome man, how could he already have a wife?

It would be great if he were single.

If Xu Hongzhuang were to hear her thoughts, they wouldn't even be able to be best friends anymore…

I treat you as a best friend, yet you actually want to be my stepmother?

Learning that the cute twins, Shiqing and Hua Yi, were Xu Hongzhuang's younger sisters.

Xiao Wanling showed them an elder sister-like smile.

After some polite greetings, Xu Hongzhuang bid farewell to her good best friend.

Xiao Wanling accepted Xu Hao's proposal to visit his home.

She was somewhat tempted; the Piano Concept was so profound, she wanted to understand this man up close…

But it was too late today, which wasn't appropriate.

She indicated she would visit the home in the future.

As soon as they got into the car, Xu Hongzhuang asked impatiently.

"Why did you do that?"

She was very puzzled.

Clearly that divine song was created by Xu Hao, and it was also played by him.

Why pin the reputation on herself?

Hearing her pressing tone of questioning, the twin sisters immediately refused to let it go.

"Third Sister, how can you talk to Dad like that?"

"Third Sister, aren't you trying to become a big star? After today you'll become extremely famous, you don't even thank him, and yet you actually question him…"

"That's right, Hongzhuang, your dad is also doing this for your own good; he won't harm you."

Su Wanqiu also started to persuade her.

Fulfilling what she promised Xu Hao last night, she spoke well of Xu Hao in front of Xu Hongzhuang.

Xu Hongzhuang ignored them, biting her lips tightly, her gaze resolute.

Indeed, she wanted to become a star and needed a large wave of reputation.

Right now she was only slightly famous.

Once she took on the identity of the performer of the Symphony of Destiny, she would definitely blow up in popularity.

But…

If this was Xu Hao's charity, she would rather not have it.

What this stubborn daughter was thinking in her heart, Xu Hao knew very well.

Of course he wouldn't say out loud that it was intentional on his part.

"Hongzhuang, you also know my identity; as a dignified CEO of a tens-of-billions group, what kind of business is it for me to go play the Piano?"

Xu Hao sighed and spoke thus.

"In order to maintain my image in front of the employees, I cannot expose this identity; acting like an entertainment star has a bad influence…"

It seemed to be the case.

The CEO of a tens-of-billions group managed a large group of people under him.

If his identity as a Piano master were exposed, who knew how many fans would come.

Did he still need to work or not?

Xu Hongzhuang pursed her lips.

There was one thing she couldn't figure out, and she asked.

"Since you didn't want to expose yourself, why did you play just now…"

"You're talking about this? When we were in the private room, seeing the two of them take the stage one after another, my hands suddenly felt itchy."

Pausing for a moment, Xu Hao continued.

"Sorry Hongzhuang, I couldn't expose my identity, so I had no choice but to use you as a shield."

"Dad, look at what you're saying, what shield? Clearly you achieved fame for Third Sister, alright?"

"Third Sister, what kind of tone is that? Are you Dad's daughter? What's wrong with covering for Dad for a bit? Besides, it only brings you benefits without any harm."

Seeing Dad being "bullied", the twin sisters Shiqing and Hua Yi stood on Xu Hao's side without hesitation.
