Chapter 591: Small Tip

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nangong Qingya’s father, Nangong Bohai, was also very unhappy. How could an actress be chasing after the same man as his daughter? He wanted to destroy her pride and walked over with his daughter.

Xia Ling’s eyelashes were slightly lowered as she concentrated on playing, and her fingers moved elegantly, creating a naturally harmonious rhythm from the piano. A girl who had a Phoenix fate naturally had a musical talent that was unmatched by ordinary people. Although she didn’t receive much professional training, she could easily play a moving melody.

Several guests had already gathered around the piano to admire her piano playing.

That was why Xia Ling didn’t notice the father and daughter walking towards her. She thought that they were just two random ordinary guests who came to listen to her piano playing. She didn’t even lift her head when Nangong Bohai placed a tip on the crystal plate on top of the grand piano. At once, people around the piano gasped.

Finally, Xia Ling was alarmed.

She lifted her head to see Nangong Qingya’s arrogant face and a middle-aged man beside her. Both of their faces were somewhat similar, and she easily guessed that they were father and daughter.

She stopped playing the piano.

It was not because she feared the father and daughter of the Nangong family but because they were the ones she was waiting for. Now, the guests had arrived and she should go upstairs to meet with Li Lei.

Unfortunately, the father and daughter of the Nangong family misunderstood her.

Nangong Bohai asked in a condescending manner, “Is this enough?”

Xia Ling was startled. “What is enough?”

After that, her eyes fell on the crystal plate on the grand piano. In addition to a few scattered tips and hundred yuan bills that she gave the pianist, there was also a gold card. She also did not know who the local tyrant who threw a card in as a tip.

“The amount of money in this card is enough for you to live your life without worry. You don’t have to play the piano here anymore. Take the money, live the life you want, and leave Skyart Entertainment.” Nangong Bohai said pretentiously.

Xia Ling was a little surprised. “How much money is there in the card?”

Nangong Bohai thought that she was really an ignorant child who couldn’t contain herself after seeing some money and actually asked how much money was in the card directly in front of so many people. This greedy person was very embarrassing, and he didn’t understand why Second Young Master Li was attracted to her.

At this time, Nangong Qingya felt a little awkward. “Dad...”

Unfortunately, her voice was too soft and Nangong Bohai did not hear her. Nangong Bohai arrogantly looked at Xia Ling and said with a restrained voice, “Fifty million. Is that enough?”

Gasp!

Everyone drew a cold breath. 50 million! Who would give so much money as a tip?! Could it be that this man admired this piano girl and wanted to hire her as his personal pianist?

However, after listening to their conversation just now, it did not seem like it.

Xia Ling smiled lightly.

Fifty million? He probably still didn’t know how much his daughter owed her.

With a faint smile, she glanced at Nangong Qingya. Sure enough, she looked a little awkward and called out, “Dad...” Nangong Qingya didn’t tell her family how much she owed Xia Ling. Moreover, 30 billion was not only a large sum for her, but it was also a large sum for her entire family and enough to make them worry.

How could she tell her father that she owed such a huge debt?

She was not his only daughter, and she had a few sisters at home monitoring her every move. As long as she made a minor mistake, her sisters could easily replace her. Once she thought about how her sisters might gain her family’s support to chase the title of the daughter-in-law of the Li Family, Nangong Qingya felt extremely discontented.

As for marrying Li Lei, she had no choice but to succeed and not let anyone else stand a chance.

Now, she was faced with Xia Ling. Suddenly, she regretted pointing her out to her father. If they just walked away directly, she would not be involved in such an awkward situation. If Xia Ling told him about the 30 billion debt, she would be in a tight spot.

“Dad, let’s go. Let’s not make others wait.” Nangong Qingya said to her father.

Nangong Bohai was not in a hurry. They were supposed to meet with Li Lei at 8:00 PM tonight, and they were 10 minutes early. If he could settle his daughter’s love rival at the same time easily, why shouldn’t he do it? “Take this card and go to Skyart Entertainment to cancel your contract. The Nangong family will pay your contract fee for you.”

This time, Xia Ling really laughed out loud. “Are you Mr. Nangong? Do you really think that I lack 50 million?”

“Those who work to support themselves shouldn’t pretend to be high and mighty.” Nangong Bohai said calmly. “Miss Ye, if you aren’t lacking money, why are you selling your art in this clubhouse?”

The surrounding guests were wondering about the same question in their hearts.

There was also a tray on the piano. If she didn’t lack money, why was she trying to make money here?

Xia Ling was too lazy to explain what happened to someone like him. Turning around, just as she was about to walk upstairs, she saw the person who had just walked away to answer the phone walking towards her.

Suddenly, an idea to entrap them appeared in her mind.

No... it was not to entrap, but to rob the rich to feed the poor.

She looked at the Nangong family’s father and daughter and smiled. “Mr. Nangong, you said that this 50 million is a tip for the pianist. Am I right?”

“That’s right.” Nangong Bohai said arrogantly. “A pianist can never earn such a sum of money in his entire life. Keep it and stop interacting with Li Lei.”

The surrounding guests finally understood. It turned out that a love triangle was involved.

Those who were aware already whispered to their companions beside them. “That’s Ye Xingling who is rumored to be with Skyart’s Big Boss Li. The one giving the tip is Nangong Bohai, and beside him is his daughter Nangong Qingya. Recently, she was on a blind date with Li Lei.”

“Oh...” Many people were suddenly enlightened.

This scene was worth watching. It seemed that the female star seemed too relaxed. Could it be that she really wanted to accept the 50 million? Well then, she was too easily bought over. The person whom Second Young Master Li liked couldn’t be so short-sighted, right?

However, it was difficult to determine.

Who knew if a female star like her would ever be able to marry into a rich family? It might be better for her to earn 50 million now and live a peaceful life.

Many people looked at Xia Ling with some sympathy and disdain.

However, Xia Ling smiled lightly. “Ok. The person who accepts it will not be entangled with Li Lei anymore.”

Nangong Bohai looked at her more contemptuously. This girl was really shallow and ignorant. She was so easily bought over. How was she worthy of being his daughter’s love rival? The Nangong family was definitely going to win this love battle.

However, Nangong Qingya was feeling uneasy. She was very clear that Xia Ling had at least 10 billion, why would she give Li Lei up for a mere 50 million?
