Chapter 469: Sentimental Value

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Xu Xiyan was silent. She knew it was a ridiculous request. Why would Xue Yating willingly hand her precious baby to someone else?

She would have to be insane to do that!

Xue Yating was most definitely not insane. She knew exactly what she was doing. “Jing Xi, if you want a violin, I can give you a better one. Surely it isn’t necessary for us to squabble over this specific violin?”

“But that violin has sentimental value for me.”

Xu Xiyan watched despairingly as Xue Yating placed the violin back into its case. She knew that it was futile: Xu Xiyan would never agree to her request.

“Oh? What sentimental value? Tell me. Who knows, I might change my mind if I find your explanation to be reasonable,” Xue Yating said jokingly.

“Because… it was left to me by my late mother. I want it back,” said Xu Xiyan softly. There was a faint glimmer of light in her eyes.

Xue Yating froze in the middle of shutting the violin case. She looked at Xu Xiyan incredulously. “Oh my G.o.d… Don’t tell me you’re Madam Jing’s daughter?”

Xu Xiyan did not say anything. She remained in her seat, quietly waiting. From certain angles, she looked very much like a younger version of her mother.

Xue Yating rubbed her eyes. She took a closer look at Xu Xiyan’s face, and paid extra attention to the way she carried herself. She grabbed Xu Xiyan’s hand in amazement. “How did I not see it? You’re a wonderful violinist, and your surname is Jing! Are you really Madam Jing’s daughter? Am I dreaming?”

She had not expected to meet Jing Ruyue’s daughter. Xue Yating’s heart swelled with emotion as tears gathered in her eyes.

She held Xu Xiyan’s hand, squeezing it tight as she talked of her own connection with Jing Ruyue, and what had led her to study music.

Xue Yating wors.h.i.+pped Jing Ruyue—she had been fanatically obsessed with her idol.
