Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Piano Feels Quite Wronged

Yun Zijin nodded. She wouldn’t lie about something like this.

Hearing Yun Zijin’s confirmation, Su Mengyao’s expression became indescribable.

’Is there something wrong with Xia Jiajiao’s brain? She seems abnormally stupid.’

’How could she even think of telling a lie that was bound to be exposed?’

’Was she just trying to save face, even if it made her suffer?’

’No, that’s not it. There’s probably just something seriously wrong with her.’

"But what is she trying to accomplish by playing the piano right now?"

Su Mengyao watched Xia Jiajiao, who was still lost in her own playing, her curiosity growing about what she was really up to.

When the piece concluded, Xia Jiajiao rose from the piano bench and walked toward Old Sir Lu with a bashful expression.

"Grandpa Lu, I heard from my father that we would be coming to celebrate your birthday. I practiced this piano piece especially for you, and I hope you like it."

Lu Zhengguo thought for a long time but couldn’t recall who this person was.

But since she said it was dedicated to him, he couldn’t just give no reaction at all.

"Mm, that’s very thoughtful of you."

With that, he fell silent.

Xia Jiajiao waited for a long time, expecting Old Sir Lu to ask about her family background. Even just asking for her name would have been fine.

She never expected the old sir to say just one sentence and then nothing more.

Xia Jiajiao seethed with resentment, convinced that everyone around was laughing at her.

"Grandpa Lu, I..."

"Grandpa! I saw Grandpa Li and the others playing chess over there! Do you want to go see?"

It was Lu Zhengguo’s birthday, after all, so several old-timers from his generation had come.

But old folks can’t sit still for long. Before they knew it, they were sitting across from each other playing chess—a set they had requested from the villa’s butler.

Lu Yunfeng cut Xia Jiajiao off, pointing out the old men engrossed in their chess game in the garden pavilion for Old Sir Lu to see.

Interrupted, Xia Jiajiao looked up resentfully, about to snap at the person, but she was instantly struck dumb when she saw it was Lu Yunfeng.

"S-Second Young Master Lu..." Thinking about what she’d been about to do, Xia Jiajiao broke out in a cold sweat. ’Thank goodness I didn’t actually start yelling at him.’

"My brother bought this piano for me. It’s best if you don’t touch it, Miss Xia. If you damage it, I’ll make you pay for it."

Lu Yunfeng blocked Xia Jiajiao from Old Sir Lu’s view.

Xu Su Hua had already gone to chat with her old friends, and Lu Zhengguo seized the opportunity, while Lu Yunfeng was blocking Xia Jiajiao, to make his way toward the garden pavilion.

To Xia Jiajiao, Lu Yunfeng’s words were utterly charmless.

’Her teacher had said her talent for the piano was nearly unrivaled. She hadn’t even disdained him for being a rich playboy, yet he had the audacity to disdain her.’

’If the piano could talk, it would surely prefer to be played by her!’

"I... I understand. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have used your piano without asking you, Second Young Master Lu.

But I only did it to perform a piece for Grandpa Lu. You won’t blame me for that, will you, Second Young Master Lu?"

Xia Jiajiao was skilled in the art of playing the innocent victim, but Lu Yunfeng had seen every type of woman imaginable. Her little tricks were child’s play to him.

"It is indeed your fault. I barely dare to play this piano myself, yet you went and used it. It must feel quite aggrieved."

"I..."

Xia Jiajiao hadn’t expected Lu Yunfeng to shut her down so bluntly, and her expression turned ugly for a moment.

Lu Yunfeng, however, paid Xia Jiajiao no more mind. After instructing the staff standing guard by the piano not to let anyone else use it, he strode toward Yun Zijin and the others.

When he returned, he saw that Li Yuexing and his friends were there, as well as Li Yue Xuan and the others he’d met at Wu Zicheng’s last birthday party.

As the younger one in the group, Lu Yunfeng naturally greeted them.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Fu, Brother Sheng."

"Yunfeng, you’re here! Quite the full house today."
