Chapter 1230 Thief (1/2)

The fireworks show began, so they could not continue their performance. There was no amplifier, so no one could hear them no matter how good they played.

The fireworks exploded loudly.

Sophie got up and bowed her head slightly towards the audience. People knew the performance was over and went off to watch the fireworks.

However, most people were very kind and clapped before they left.

Sophie said to Cao Yulin. ”You play really well. How many hours do you practice usually in a day?”

”Oh, I used to practice five or six hours a day when dad was here, but now I have not practiced for a while,” the boy whispered.

”Why?”

The boy shrugged. ”We sold the piano. Of course, I would not want to practice anymore.”

Instead of asking more questions, Sophie snapped her fingers at the boss and said, ”Grand piano, Yamaha five feet. Do you have one?”

The boss nodded and said, ”Yes, our company sells many brands of pianos.”

”How much is it?”

The owner said, ”The Yamaha five-foot grand piano would cost from $120,000 to $500,000. Our company now has a model at a price of $150,000. It is already in stock.”

”You take Cao Yulin's contact information, I'll pay the bill for him, and then you send him the piano,” said Sophie.

These words made the surrounding go into an uproar.

The manager was the first one to be surprised. ”Send over? Are you giving him the piano?”

The boy looked at Sophie in shock. Li Du was surprised too. Why did Sophie suddenly have this idea? However, knowing that Sophie had always been sensible and that she had a reason for whatever she did, he did not say much.

Sophie nodded. ”Yes, I am giving him a piano.”

She turned to Cao Yulin and said with a smile, ”Be diligent in your studies and keep practicing the piano. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here. Otherwise, I could recommend a piano teacher.”

Cao Yulin shook his head and said, ”No…you are giving me a piano, why?”

He must have been in a daze, thinking this was some new scam.

Strangers did not usually just walk into one's life with gifts of $150,000-priced pianos!

Sophie smiled. ”Because you are so talented. You need a piano at home. Practice every day. I don't know your exact situation, but I heard the need for a piano in the tune you played just now.”

”Isn't this foreign girl a little silly?” someone asked in a low voice.

Cao Yulin shook his head to refuse. He could not believe his luck and kept thinking that something was not quite right.

Sophie straightened his collar and said. ”I don't know much about you. Therefore, you could say I did something out of the blue. It's just that I could hear your longing for a piano from the sound of your playing. Am I wrong?”

Cao Yulin spread out his hands and said, ”So you want to give me a piano? One that costs 150,000?”

Sophie winked at him and smiled. ”Yes, 150,000. Is this piano too cheap? Do you feel that this piano is not high-quality enough?”

”Of course not! It's too expensive!” Cao Yulin almost shouted.

”Oh, no. It's no trouble at all. Come on, financial assistant, take care of the bill and I'll pay you back when we return to America,” said Sophie.

She turned her head and gave Li Du a mischievous smile.

Li Du reached for his wallet and, a second later, looked shocked.

Sophie was startled. ”What's the matter?”

”My wallet was stolen.” Li Du touched his pocket in disbelief.

Cao Yulin and a group of other people stood aside. They had a feeling, to begin with, that this kind of generosity was suspicious. Now, when the two strangers were about to pay for the piano and Li Du suddenly said that his wallet was stolen, someone began to voice the possibility that this was a new scam.
