Chapter 102 - 102: Fake Insight

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Mrs. Fu reminisced about Song Fan’s childhood, Song Yin found it increasingly difficult to listen.

Mrs. Fu mentioned how Fu Nian used to adore Song Fan, “Fu Nian used to adore you when he was young. Every time he came, he would seek you out to play with and ignore Song Kai. He even said he wanted to be with you for the rest of his life. That’s why I arranged the marriage agreement between you two back then.”

Song Fan responded with a smile, “You can’t take what we said when we were young seriously. We’re doing very well now.”

She didn’t want to express her dislike for Fu Nian in front of Mrs. Fu and chose to handle the conversation tactfully.

Mrs. Fu, understanding the impracticality of their childhood proclamations, sighed and dropped the topic. However, Song Yin couldn’t help but feel threatened by the implication that Mrs. Fu wanted Song Fan to be her daughter-in-law. This could potentially lead to the reinstatement of her engagement with Fu Nian, making herself a laughingstock.

As jealousy consumed her, Song Yin grabbed a pillow from the sofa and her expression soured.

At that moment, Fu Nian entered and addressed his mother, “Mommy, I’m here to pick you up.”

Mrs. Fu, realizing the time, stood up reluctantly and said, “I’ll come visit you next time.”

Song Fan also stood up and was about to send her out. As Song Yin saw her off, she couldn’t resist remarking, “Aunt, you have a very filial son. Brother Fu Nian even comes personally to pick you up if you’re just a few minutes late.”

Mrs. Fu appreciated the compliment about her son but replied humbly, “That’s the only good thing about him.”

Fu Nian draped his coat over Mrs. Fu’s shoulders and advised, “Mommy, it’s getting cold at night. Please wear more clothes.”

When he said this, he kept his head down and didn’t look at Song Fan. When Song Yin saw this, she thought that he was disgusted. She quickly walked to Fu Nian’s side and said, “Brother Fu Nian, how’s the song you’ve been practicing recently? I want to hear you play the piano.”

Fu Nian replied, “I still need to practice a little more. When I feel that I can go on stage, I’ll send you the tickets.”

Song Yin tugged at his sleeve and said, “No, you can play the piano for me in the piano room. I don’t want to sit with so many people and listen to you play the piano.”

Fu Nian frowned when he heard her say that. Song Yin praised everyone in the concert hall and said that it could maximize the transmission of music to everyone. Why did she say something different now?

Fu Nian was able to talk to Song Yin because of his love for music. Although Song Yin’s piano playing was average, her knowledge of music theory was very rich. Her evaluation of music was also clear and logical.

Therefore, Fu Nian thought that the two of them could become friends.

However, recently, he felt that Song Yin was a little brainless when she spoke. Even the text messages from her were not as insightful as before.

However, what Fu Nian didn’t know was that Song Yin’s opinions didn’t belong to her from the beginning. She spent a lot of money to hire a poor piano genius to write some comments on the songs. Song Yin memorized all his unique opinions on world-famous songs. As long as Fu Nian asked, she would be able to continue.

Anyway, the world-famous songs were fixed. As long as she memorized them, she was not afraid of not being able to continue the conversation. When she was chatting with Fu Nian on the phone, she could throw the question to the piano genius. She only needed to say a few coquettish words.

However, recently, that piano genius had received funding to study abroad and no longer needed Song Yin’s money. Song Yin herself wouldn’t be able to tell the flaws in Fu Nian’s piano playing. She would only brainlessly praise him and end the topic quickly.

Song Yin also wanted to quickly find someone to continue providing her with insights, but there were not many people who could match the level of this piano genius. If she used their insights, she would be exposed.

In addition, she didn’t love the piano to begin with. She only learned it to attract Fu Nian. Her words inevitably revealed her carelessness toward music, so Fu Nian distanced himself from her.

Therefore, Fu Nian took a step back when Song Yin approached him. “I’m still busy practicing the piano, so I won’t disturb you. Goodbye.”

With that, he left with Mrs. Fu. Before he left, he took a deep look at Song Fan. Recently, he had also heard rumors about her and Gu Chen, but he did not believe them.

Song Fan was able to break off the engagement alone with a token and could also shoot to protect everyone at the banquet. Such a person would not do such a thing.

This glance was immediately noticed by Song Yin. She glared fiercely at Song Fan, wishing that she could die right now.. Why did she come back and obstruct my path to climb up?
