"We can have a competition. How about we choose the design that satisfies both my husband and me within the specified timeframe..."
Madam Cheng, not wanting to offend Madam Xu and trusting Xu Min's judgment, made the suggestion.
"Sure." Before Mrs. Cheng could finish speaking, Mrs. Xu replied with a smile. She turned to look at the piano beside her and said in a soft voice, "Let's have a piano competition."
"Let's see who plays it, it's pleasing to everyone's ears."
"This is not about choosing a pianist."
Xu Min objected, saying she agreed with Mrs. Cheng's suggestion.
Su Ning was the apprentice she had chosen, and Xu Huanyan had studied under her for many years. The two of them relied on their abilities to speak for themselves, which was the most convincing way to convince people.
Madam Xu didn't respond to Xu Min's words. She looked down at Su Ning, her smile deepening. "Playing the piano relies on your fingers, not your feet."
Everyone could hear the sarcasm hidden in those words.
"Sister-in-law!"
Xu Min called out unhappily.
After marrying Xu Sheng, Mrs. Xu was gentle and proper. Xu Min had never seen her speak so sharply.
Perhaps, this is the real eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Xu was not angry. She was still smiling at Su Ning. "I heard that Miss Su's mother plays the piano very well."
"It seems that she majored in piano when she was in college."
“You are her daughter, so your skills should be better than Huanyan’s.”
"Um."
Su Ning smiled and accepted Madam Xu's words.
Whether her one-word reply was a response to Madam Xu's recounting of Su Xincheng's past or an admission that she played better than Xu Huanyan is open to interpretation.
In Madam Xu's view, Su Ning responded to the second half of the sentence.
"Then I'll play a piece for everyone to hear."
Madam Xu raised her voice, revealing a hint of coldness.
“Your mother is really something! Even after all these years, you were still able to return to the Xu family.”
This statement was even more provocative; Madam Xu's words were a reminder of Su Ning's true identity to everyone.
At the Xu family banquet, Su Ning appeared as Xu Jiang's illegitimate daughter, which means that Su Xincheng was Xu Jiang's mistress.
The ladies here are all wives, so of course they look down on mistresses and their daughters.
As soon as Madam Xu finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Ning with disdain.
Xu Min never expected that the usually gentle and intellectual Mrs. Xu would change so drastically, finding fault with everything she said and mocking Su Ning and Su Xincheng in Nancheng.
Whether Su Xincheng was a mistress or not, Xu Min, who had a good relationship with Xu Sheng, knew the answer in her heart.
If it weren't for that incident involving Jiang Yun and the Jiang family, Su Xincheng would have been Xu Sheng's wife long ago.
"Mrs. Xu is very familiar with my mother?"
Su Ning retorted without getting angry, and then chatted with Madam Xu with a smile.
"More than 20 years ago, I went to the same school as her."
Su Xincheng, so naive, hypocritical, and vicious! Madam Xu really wanted to say these words.
"oh!"
Su Ning replied, "There's something I find very strange."
How did my mother meet Mr. Xu while she was studying at university?
Here, Su Ning deliberately didn't address Mr. Xu as "Dad"!
Is it because of your uncle?
Madam Xu's expression changed, realizing what Su Ning was about to discuss.
"Your mother is so cunning, how would I know how she managed to seduce your father!"
Su Xincheng hooked up with Xu Sheng right under her nose. By the time she found out, the two were already inseparable.
Imagine how unwilling and angry you must be to see the man you've loved for so many years end up with another woman!
"Oh!" Su Ning replied, not angry, drawing out her voice.
