She was envious of Jing Xi: how lucky she was to be loved by not one, but two men!

“Ms. Xue, I don’t understand. You’re an excellent violinist, why do you need a substitute?” Xu Xiyan asked.

Somewhere along the way, Xue Yating had, without realizing it herself, started thinking of Xu Xiyan as a good friend. She waved her right hand as she explained, “I don’t want to do this either, to be honest. But I injured my wrist ligament during the car accident.”

“You injured your hand?”

Xu Xiyan knew very well that a hand injury was no laughing matter: it was enough to destroy the career of a violinist.

“Yeah. According to my doctor, it’ll take a year for me to recover. He says I’m not allowed to touch the violin for the next 12 months.”

“And that’s why you’re looking for someone to stand in for you in the meantime?”

“That’s right. I don’t want to put my career on hold, and I don’t want to let my fans down, either.”

Xue Yating’s career had just reached new heights. She did not want to give up on it while she spent a year recuperating.

Her schedule was packed with concerts. If she hit the Pause button on her career now, she might never get the chance to perform on stage again.

She knew it was a risky gamble, but it was worth it if it meant securing her future.

“But this counts as deceiving the audience. What if they find out what’s going on?” Xu Xiyan could not help feeling that this was a very dangerous move. There was a good chance that Xue Yating’s future would be ruined if the audience discovered her ruse.

“They won’t find out. I was worried about that too, but I know you’ll be able to pull it off. You were able to disguise yourself as Ye Xun, I’m sure it’ll be easy enough for you to pretend to be me. And besides, I heard you play the violin at the Huo mansion, and you were really, really good.”

Xue Yating had heard Xu Xiyan play the violin, and knew that she was an excellent violinist. Aside from that, the two of them were of a similar height and body shape. Xue Yating was confident no one would realize it was actually Xu Xiyan up on the stage once the actress disguised herself with makeup.

“I can disguise myself as you, but…”

Xu Xiyan hesitated. She wasn’t particularly close to Xue Yating, but that didn’t mean she was okay with the thought of accidentally ruining her career.

Xue Yating continued to persuade her. “If you say yes to this, I’ll give you half of my earnings for each show. That’s quite a lot of money, you know. Are you sure you want to give up such a wonderful opportunity to make money?”

Xue Yating wasn’t exaggerating; it was, in fact, a lot of money. Xue Yating took home hundreds of thousands Yuan for every concert. Some concerts netted her over a million yuan. If they split the money 50-50, Xu Xiyan would receive a considerable amount of money for each performance.

Xu Xiyan’s interest was piqued. She wanted to make more money to provide for her daughter and give her a better life. She wasn’t sure she could deal with the risks, however. What if things didn’t go according to plan?

Xue Yating knew what she was worried about. She added helpfully, “If you think 50-50 is too little for you, I don’t mind giving you more. We’ll split it 30-70 instead.”

“No, Ms. Xue, I’m not complaining about the money. I’m more than happy with splitting the pay 50-50.”

After a moment of careful consideration, Xu Xiyan finally made up her mind. “I can help you. I don’t really care about how we split the money—50-50, 30-70, it doesn’t matter. But I have one condition.”

“What is it? Tell me.”

“Next year, once all the performances are over… I want you to give me Artemis.”

Xue Yating was taken aback by the request. She cocked her head to the side as she considered it. “You want my violin?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Xue Yating got out her precious baby. She opened the case and gently caressed the violin inside. She turned and smiled at Xu Xiyan. “Jing Xi, you have great taste. Did you know that I spent a fortune just to get my hands on this violin?”

It was obvious that the violin was special to Xue Yating from the way she cherished and maintained it. Xu Xiyan’s gaze fell upon the glossy, polished surface of the violin as she whispered, “I know. You spent 30 million Yuan on it.”

“That’s right, I bought it for 30 million Yuan at an auction. What makes you think I’d be willing to give it to you?”
