If everyone did something like this, what fairness would be left in the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To do wrong and not bear responsibility, and to shed a few tears to shamelessly enjoy something that belongs to someone else? Poor Xia Weibao, everything should have been hers, but even now she’s kept in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, it’s just pitiful to think about. Luckily, I accidentally got hold of her video, or she might never have known that her honor had become someone else’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more I think about it, the more pitiful it is. Xia Weibao really is so naive, playing the piano with good intentions to help someone buy a piano, only to be secretly betrayed. Playing a tune of \"Plum Blossom Three Strains\" with nothing but goodwill, she probably never imagined that someone would secretly live-stream her performance, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, how can this world be so unfair? My poor Baby, what a shame her talent was exploited. If she knew about this, how heartbroken she would be, how could she enter the National Studies Association with ease in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it’s truly pitiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yuexian sighed continuously, her words never straying far from Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew very well where Pei Hong’s weakness lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These masters of national studies, filled with compassion, have weathered many storms and treat fame and fortune lightly, focusing greatly on nurturing the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ruan Shushu continued crying out like this, he would certainly soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she also knew clearly where Pei Hong’s vulnerability was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was his weakness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fuxi Finger Technique had been lost, with only a few fragmentary records throughout history. It was a national treasure, the essence of traditional culture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much Pei Hong valued it was evident from his attitude.
