Xun Lao and Uncle Qian were both taken aback by this remark.
When it really came down to it, they were actually unclear about how the Gu Family had become friendly with the Situ Family and when this had happened.
"It's Chengbai, that lad from the Gu Family, who's now in charge of the company. Maybe he thinks the Situ Family has some exceptional qualities," sighed Xun Lao. "Ah, but it has nothing to do with us. No need to think too much about it; after all, we can't fathom what those people in the Gu Family are thinking." Xun Lao then said, "Wuwu, be sure to check if there have been any changes in your violin's pitch. I've been telling you to have Uncle Qian maintain it regularly, but inevitably someone might have tampered with the tuning during the process."
Lin Wu responded nonchalantly, tried out the pitch, and played the musical score Xun Lao had casually picked out.
