Chapter 83 The Piano is Feeling Wronged
Yun Zijin nodded. She would not lie about this matter.
After receiving Yun Zijin's affirmative answer, Su Mengyao's expression was indescribable.
Why does Xia Jiaojiao seem a little bit stupid and abnormal?
How could she have thought of lying about something bound to be exposed?
Is it too much to save face?
No, there may be something wrong with your brain.
"But what is she trying to do by playing the piano now?"
Su Mengyao looked at Xia Jiaojiao, who was still immersed in the sound of her piano and somewhat curious about what she was trying to do.
When the song ended, Xia Jiaojiao stood up from the piano stool and walked toward Mr. Lu with a shy look.
"Grandpa Lu, I heard from my father earlier that he would come over to celebrate your birthday. This is a piano piece I specially practiced. I hope you like it."
Lu Zhengguo thought for a long time but couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.
But people said it was dedicated to him, so he couldn't just sit there and say nothing.
"Yeah, that's thoughtful."
After saying that, he fell silent.
Xia Jiaojiao waited for a long time, thinking that Mr. Lu would ask about her family background, or if that didn't work, just asking for her name would be fine.
Unexpectedly, the old man just said one sentence and stopped talking.
Xia Jiaojiao was resentful, thinking everyone around her must be laughing at her.
"Grandpa Lu, I..."
"Grandpa! I saw Grandpa Li and the others playing chess over there! Do you want to go and take a look?"
After all, it was Lu Zhengguo's birthday, and several old guys of the same generation as Lu Zhengguo came over.
But people can't sit still when they get old, and soon they start to sit face to face and play chess, which they ask the villa manager for.
Lu Yunfeng interrupted Xia Jiaojiao and pointed to several old men playing chess in the pavilion in the villa garden, showing it to Mr. Lu.
Xia Jiaojiao was interrupted and raised her head angrily, wanting to yell, but when she saw Lu Yunfeng, she suddenly became speechless.
"Lu...Second Young Master Lu..." Thinking of what she was about to do, Xia Jiaojiao broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she hadn't started cursing yet.
"This piano was bought for me by my brother. Miss Xia, you'd better not touch it. If you break it, I'll ask you to pay for it."
Lu Yunfeng blocked Xia Jiaojiao's sight for Mr. Lu.
Xu Suhua had already gone to chat with her old sisters, and Lu Zhengguo took advantage of Lu Yunfeng's blocking Xia Jiaojiao to walk towards the garden pavilion.
Xia Jiaojiao thought Lu Yunfeng's words were unromantic.
The teacher said that her piano talent was unmatched. She didn't despise him for being a playboy, but he despised her.
If the piano could talk, it would prefer to be played by her!
"I...I know. It's my fault. I shouldn't have used your piano without asking the Second Young Master.
But I just wanted to play a song for Grandpa Lu so that Second Young Master Lu won't blame me, right?"
Xia Jiaojiao knows some White Lotus quotes, but Lu Yunfeng has seen all kinds of women, and Xia Jiaojiao's tricks are not enough for him.
"It's your fault. I have been reluctant to play the piano a few times, but you used it. It feels wronged."
"I..."
Xia Jiaojiao didn't expect Lu Yunfeng to ignore her, and her expression looked a little ugly momentarily.
Lu Yunfeng no longer cared about Xia Jiaojiao. He told the person standing guard next to the piano not to let anyone else use the piano and then walked toward Yun Zijin and the others.
When he came back, Li Yuecheng and others were there, as were Li Yuexuan and others he had met at Wu Zicheng's birthday party the previous time.
As a younger brother, Lu Yunfeng naturally greeted him.
"Brother Yuecheng, Brother Fu, Brother Sheng."
"Brother Yunfeng is here! We are all here today."
Li Yuecheng patted Lu Yunfeng on the shoulder.
Su Mengyao feels a little uncomfortable now, as this is her first time facing the princes directly.
If others want to make friends with someone, they have to work very hard and may not succeed.
But since following Zijin, her luck in this regard has improved a lot.
She used to try her best to squeeze into occasions where Sheng Yang would appear, but now she doesn't need to worry about that. As long as Yun Zijin is there, Sheng Yang may appear anytime.
She always had the illusion that she had become Sheng Yang's friend.
Yun Zijin was a little helpless. They were all flocking to her, afraid she would become a thorn in the eyes of the imperial capital's celebrities!
Can you sit here all the time? I just saw a lot of people looking over here. There should be many people who want to talk to you about things.
A banquet with clinking glasses is a shortcut for everyone to expand their network.
Yun Zijin didn't want to ruin other people's plans and be hated by others.
"It's okay. They can still look for my dad if they can't find me. It's the same thing."
"What about you? Is it okay, too?"
Today is the Lu family's banquet. It would not be good for the hosts, Lu Yunque and Lu Yunfeng, to always hide here.
"If someone wants to see me, they will find a way to meet me even if they are not at the party.
If they want to cooperate with Lu Corporation but don't take the initiative, do I have to bring it to them?"
In any case, Lu Yunque would not take the initiative to socialize.
"That's the truth. Sister Yun, you are too approachable. It's easy to suffer losses this way."
"I make a living by collecting rent. How can I suffer from defaulting on rent?"
She will not be approachable to anyone who dares to owe rent.
"Ahem!"
Li Yuecheng almost choked on his saliva. He was indeed worthy of being the one who defeated Lu Yunque. Those who lived on rent in Dijing were all big shots.
"I've always been curious; how many houses do you rent out?"
Li Yuecheng finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
The others also looked at her keenly, obviously wanting to know.
"Not many, probably only... two or three at the moment."
Hearing Yun Zijin's words, Lu Yunque raised his eyebrows.
"Two or three means... two or three houses?"
"What do you think?"
The rent of two or three houses cannot support her current expenses.
It costs tens of billions to go to an auction, and the rent for two or three houses lasts only ten minutes.
"Haha... I said it was impossible. You should have at least one building according to how much you usually spend!"
Li Yuecheng continued his analysis.
"Sister Yun lives in Xingyu Mansion. Don't ignore this."
Xingyu Huafu is a high-end villa community recently completed and launched for sale. It is not much different from Yujingyuan.
It's just that Yujingyuan was built earlier, and several of their families bought houses there.
"I only have one villa in Xingyu Huafu, and I haven't bought any other."
She was mainly rewarded with one building for spending it casually and didn't buy anything else.
"Senior Lu!"
As soon as Yun Zijin finished speaking, she saw a girl walking over, looking toward Lu Yunque, and called out "Senior Lu" in a very gentle and beautiful voice.
Li Yuecheng originally wanted to ask Yun Zijin where the rent was collected, but he was interrupted by someone who looked at the visitor unfriendly.
Cen Mulin seemed frightened by Li Yuecheng's eyes and timidly took a small step back.
