Chapter 969: Her Highness Is Not to Be Trifled With
However, thinking of how she had once saved Xia Weibao’s life, she instantly regained her confidence.
She was her savior!
"You know very well that I don’t get along with Yan Yuexian, yet you give her the Scorched Tail Zither worth fifty million, while you only give me a Solitary Zither worth ten million.
You only taught me the basics of the Fuxi Zither, but taught her so much more. This is clearly a slap in my face!
Xia Weibao, I am your savior, how can you treat me like this!"
The stern accusations made Xia Weibao’s gaze even colder.
How had she never noticed before that Ruan Shushu was actually such a person?
Thinking of Sister Tong once using Ruan Shushu’s act of saving her to make a deal, Xia Weibao couldn’t stop the chill in her heart.
Sure enough, what kind of person raises what kind of daughter.
Do this mother and daughter believe that saving her once means she must be grateful and indebted for life?
Do they think she looks so easy to bully?
"No matter what your relationship with Yan Yuexian is, that’s between you two and has nothing to do with me. Why should I get involved in your conflict?
What makes you think I would stand on your side, isn’t that too presumptuous?
As for the zither gift, first, I have no responsibility or obligation to give you anything, yet I gave you a zither worth ten million. You’ve accepted such an expensive gift and still do not feel grateful, instead accusing me of only giving you a zither worth ten million. Isn’t this greed too much?
Second, what does it matter to you that I gave Yan Yuexian the Scorched Tail Zither, how is it a slap in your face? These unrelated matters are just caused by your vanity.
If only you hadn’t been so boastful, flaunting the Solitary Zither I gifted you everywhere, then no one would compare the two zithers, you brought this upon yourself.
The Fuxi Finger Technique is even more ridiculous; is it because I taught you once that I can’t teach others? Did you buy my copyright?
Do you know how precious my Fuxi Finger Technique is? I can guarantee that even if I charged a hundred thousand per lesson, there would be countless people vying to learn. Yet, I taught you for a whole day without charging any fees, and you not only failed to be grateful but acted as if it was only right, don’t you feel shameless?
Moreover, what I taught Yan Yuexian is far less than what I taught you. All her achievements tonight are due to her hard practice, you blame others for your lack of skill.
Also, you did save my life, although I didn’t need your help at the time, it was indeed you who saved me. I’m very grateful, and because of this gratitude, I gave you a zither and taught you to play it, without expecting anything in return.
But this isn’t an excuse for you to use it as leverage. Back when your mother sold me out, she already used this matter to make a deal with me.
I didn’t expose her deeds, which counts as repaying that favor.
From now on, don’t claim to be my savior anymore, nor assume that saving me once means I owe you for life.
When your mother commodified your life-saving grace, we were clear of debts."
With nothing more to say, Xia Weibao didn’t speak further.
She turned away to leave.
Giving Ruan Shushu a final deep look, "Shushu, you have greatly disappointed me."
Blood slowly drained from Ruan Shushu’s face.
She suddenly felt very pitiful; Xia Weibao’s words made her feel extremely embarrassed.
Every word struck deep within her heart, as if dissecting her, leaving her ashamed and indignant.
