Accompanied by the Shu sisters, Chen Yun led Zhu Laifu to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel and found a seat.

A waiter came over to take their order.

Chen Yun casually handed the menu to the Shu sisters, letting them decide what to eat.

Then he took out a cigarette, ready to light one.

But they found the cigarette pack was completely empty!

Zhu Laifu, who was standing to the side, quickly pulled out a pack of Baisha cigarettes, his tone respectful yet tinged with trepidation: "Brother Chen, how about you smoke mine?"

Although Chen Yun was treating everyone today, Zhu Laifu didn't dare to treat himself as a guest at all, but rather defined himself as Chen Yun's lackey.

At this moment, he nervously handed the cigarette to Chen Yun with both hands, worried that Chen Yun would dislike his cheap cigarette.

To his surprise, Chen Yun didn't act coy at all. He casually took the cigarette, put one in his mouth, and handed it to him.

Zhu Laifu quickly took out a lighter and lit it for Chen Yun.

However, he himself dared not smoke in front of Chen Yun, just like a younger brother in front of his boss, sitting up straight with nervousness.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Laifu, relax."

Zhu Laifu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Chen."

Chen Yun shook his head and said nothing more.

at this time.

He suddenly saw Han Xudong and Zhao Qingyu come in through the door.

Han Xudong and Zhao Qingyu also saw him.

The moment Zhao Qingyu saw Chen Yun, her face was filled with shock, and her eyes became complicated.

Han Xudong muttered, "Damn, I didn't expect it to really be this guy! He offended Master Dong, yet he still dares to come to Master Dong's place to spend money. He's incredibly audacious!"

As he spoke, he and Zhao Qingyu sat down not far from Chen Yun.

Shu Tangyin had just finished ordering when she noticed Chen Yun's strange gaze. Following Chen Yun's gaze, she saw Han Xudong and Zhao Qingyu, and couldn't help but frown: "It's those two again!"

Shu Lingyue also recognized Han Xudong and Zhao Qingyu, and said with disdain, "What bad luck!"

Chen Yun calmly said, "Let's eat our food and not worry about these unimportant people."

Shu Tangyin and Shu Lingyue nodded in agreement; it was a rare occasion for the two sisters to be of one mind.

At the same time, Han Xudong told Zhao Qingyu to ignore Chen Yun and the others. He said to Zhao Qingyu with a fawning expression, "Qingyu, I have a surprise for you."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Under Zhao Qingyu's questioning gaze, the restaurant manager walked over.

Han Xudong asked the restaurant manager, "Is everything ready?"

The restaurant manager smiled and said, "Young Master Han, everything is ready as you instructed."

Han Xudong nodded in satisfaction and ordered, "Then let's begin!"

The restaurant manager replied, "Yes!"

After saying that, the restaurant manager took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Tell Miss Yuan that she can go on stage to perform."

Zhao Qingyu looked at Han Xudong with a confused expression and asked, "Young Master Han, what performance?"

Han Xudong said with a smile, "Qingyu, aren't you a fan of piano diva Yuan Zhen? I spent a million to specially invite Miss Yuan here to play the piano for you live!"

Zhao Qingyu's face lit up with surprise: "Really?"

Han Xudong said smugly, "Of course, would I lie to you?"

Just then, a woman wearing a white evening gown, with her hair pulled up high, revealing her long neck, and with an elegant and noble appearance, appeared.

The diners at the scene recognized Yuan Zhen and exclaimed in hushed tones.

When Shu Tangyin saw Yuan Zhen, she couldn't help but whisper, "Isn't this Miss Yuan, the rising star of piano?"

Shu Lingyue was also surprised and asked curiously, "How did she end up here?"

At this moment, the restaurant manager announced with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Han Xudong has invited a piano diva to play for Ms. Zhao Qingyu today in order to give her a surprise."

As he introduced himself, two lights in the restaurant shone on Han Xudong and Zhao Qingyu.

A round of applause immediately erupted from the audience.

Many women looked at Zhao Qingyu with envy.

Shu Lingyue whispered to Chen Yun, "Chen Yun, it looks like Han Xudong is trying to win over your ex-wife!"

Chen Yun gave Shu Lingyue a cold look: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

At this moment, the restaurant manager announced loudly, "Now let's welcome the piano diva, Ms. Yuan Zhen!"

The audience erupted in applause again.

Yuan Zhen gracefully bowed to everyone present, then sat down at the piano in the restaurant and began to play.

He played Liszt's "Reminiscences of Don Juan".

This piece is extremely difficult and is widely recognized as one of the most challenging pieces to play.

The audience was captivated, stopping their movements to listen to the piano diva's performance.

Zhao Qingyu listened very attentively.

Han Xudong pretended to be completely intoxicated, but in reality, he was secretly pleased with himself.

Knowing that Zhao Qingyu was a fan of Yuan Zhen, he spent a million to invite Yuan Zhen to play two pieces on the spot.

After finishing this piece, Yuan Zhen will play "Wedding in a Dream" next.

He would then take the opportunity to bring out the diamond ring and propose to Zhao Qingyu in public.

In such a romantic atmosphere, Zhao Qingyu would surely be deeply moved and accept his proposal.

Thinking this, the smug smile on his lips deepened.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at Zhao Qingyu, who had bright eyes, white teeth, and an alluring figure, and thought to himself: Zhao Qingyu, I must have you tonight!

Not far away.

When Chen Yun heard Yuan Zhen playing "Memories of Don Juan," a playful smile appeared on his face.

Shu Tangyin asked curiously, "Chen Yun, what are you laughing at?"

Shu Lingyue and Zhu Laifu also looked at Chen Yun curiously, wondering why Chen Yun was laughing.

Chen Yun said, "I laugh at Han Xudong, he's also an ignorant fool. He was ridiculed and mocked, but he's still looking smug!"

Um?

Shu Tangyin and the others were even more confused after hearing Chen Yun's words.

Chen Yun explained calmly, "The piece 'Memories of Don Juan' tells the story of Don Juan's illicit feelings for a young noblewoman named Anna. Playing the piano is about being appropriate to the occasion. Can you guess why Miss Yuan chose to play this piece?"

Shu Tangyin suddenly realized and blurted out, "You mean Miss Yuan also saw that Han Xudong was no good, and knew that Han Xudong had ill intentions towards Zhao Qingyu, so she deliberately played this piece to subtly mock Han Xudong!"

Shu Lingyue laughed too: "Haha, that guy looked so smug even after being mocked. It's scary how uncultured he is!"

Zhu Laifu couldn't help but ask, "But wasn't Miss Yuan invited by Han Xudong to perform? If she looks down on Han Xudong, why did she agree to perform?"

Chen Yun said casually, "They have to bow down for a living, but these people who play music and art have high self-esteem to their core, so even though they perform for money, they can't help but make a sarcastic remark."

Zhu Laifu and the others understood.

Yuan Zhen was playing the piano, and everyone in the audience was so engrossed that many even forgot to eat.

She couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But she soon discovered that the people at Chen Yun's table not far away were not listening to her play attentively, but were also chatting quietly.

Immediately, she felt displeased, as if she had been slighted.

Chen Yun, in particular, was not only speaking, but his handsome face also carried a mix of indifference, mockery, and nonchalance.

It was as if my playing of the extremely difficult "Remembering Don Juan" was nothing to him.

Yuan Zhen suppressed her displeasure and secretly comforted herself: Although this guy is handsome, he should be a complete idiot who doesn't understand music. I won't stoop to the level of someone who doesn't appreciate music!

Because she was distracted, she accidentally played a wrong note.

Almost the instant she played the wrong note, Chen Yun, who hadn't looked at her directly the whole time, suddenly looked up and glanced at her!

Yuan Zhen felt a jolt of fear, just like a primary school student who had mispronounced a word while reciting a poem and was caught by the teacher!

Fortunately, Chen Yun only glanced at her before looking away.

As she continued playing the piano, she wondered with a mixture of surprise and doubt: Was it a coincidence that he looked at me immediately after I played a wrong note?

In my confusion, I played another wrong note.

She panicked again and subconsciously looked at Chen Yun.

Sure enough, Chen Yun raised his head and glanced at her again.

That look in her eyes was exactly the same as the stern look her teacher gave her when she played the wrong note while learning the piano.

The music is wrong, sir!

I originally thought Chen Yun was a clueless idiot who didn't understand music, but I never expected him to be a master with terrifyingly high musical attainments.

Yuan Zhen was in a state of confusion and made several mistakes in playing the piano.

Every time she played a wrong note, Chen Yun would glance at her.

In the end, she became like a child who had done something wrong, hanging her head and not daring to look at Chen Yun.

The piece was finished.

The audience applauded, and no one noticed her mistake except for Chen Yun.

Han Xudong clapped and gestured for her to start playing the second piece, "Wedding in a Dream," preparing to take the opportunity to propose to Zhao Qingyu.

To Han Xudong's surprise, Yuan Zhen did not play the second piece, but stood up and walked gracefully to Chen Yun.

To everyone's astonishment.

She bowed respectfully to Chen Yun: "Sir, your musical attainments are truly admirable. I hope to receive your guidance and humbly request that you come up on stage and play a piece."
