Chapter 37 Birthday 1
Friday afternoon.
On this day, Lin Xiaoqi specially asked the family driver Uncle Fu to pick her up so that she could practice the piano piece again.
If I wait for the bus at the same pace as usual, the dinner would probably be about to start by the time I get home and change into my dress.
The gift that Lin Xiaoqi prepared for her grandmother this time was the piano piece "Stars" that Lin Xiaoqi asked Mingyu to write.
In Lin Xiaoqi’s previous life, Qin Chenyi was Lin Xiaoqi’s star. However, in this life, her stars are her family.
——Dividing line——
Lin's house.
As soon as Lin Xiaoqi got home, she went straight into the piano room to practice.
Lifting up the piano cover, the 52 black and white keys were fully revealed in front of Lin Xiaoqi.
Lin Xiaoqi took off her school uniform jacket and casually draped it over the back of a chair in the corner.
Then he clenched his fists, moved his fingers, stretched out his slender white fingers and lightly brushed the piano keys, as if he was looking for a tacit understanding.
Lin Xiaoqi took a deep breath, pressed the first key, and then as if she had found a breakthrough, her hands flew up and down, like a white flying butterfly, full of spirituality.
After the song ended, Lin Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, put down the piano cover, lay on the piano and took a deep breath.
"I'm so tired." When Lin Xiaoqi was practicing this song, she felt that Mingyu was definitely playing a prank on her.
Every time I practice this piece, my hands become stiff for a while.
Mingyu just smiled evilly and refused to admit it.
"Miss, Madam is asking you to put on makeup and change your clothes." Aunt Zhang at the door knocked.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Lin Xiaoqi immediately became alert and quickly jumped off the piano stool and opened the door.
Lin Xiaoqi sat in Su Yueran's small room, sitting on the sofa with a bored look on her face.
"Miss, I'm here to put on your makeup."
A mature and intellectual female makeup artist walked up to Lin Xiaoqi carrying a small bag.
"Thank you very much, sister."
Lin Xiaoqi grinned at the female makeup artist.
The frozen expression on the makeup artist's face finally broke: "Okay, I will live up to your expectations, young lady."
"Thank you." Lin Xiaoqi nodded, then sat down on the chair obediently.
Seeing Lin Xiaoqi's cute little face, the female makeup artist actually started chatting, which was unusual for her.
"Actually, the young lady has a nice face shape, small and easy to put on makeup."
"Thank you, sister." Lin Xiaoqi just smiled.
"Miss, Madam has told you that you will be playing the piano later, so you can't wear anything too complicated."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Xiaoqi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this seemingly cool makeup artist was actually a chatterbox.
Fortunately, although the makeup artist liked to chat, he was very skillful.
Lin Xiaoqi's face was painted with cold-toned makeup, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, giving her a feeling of looking down on the world.
"Okay, perfect!" After Lin Xiaoqi changed into the blue dress, the makeup artist clapped her hands.
Lin Xiaoqi was pushed out of the door by the makeup artist and handed over to Su Yueran.
Su Yueran and Lin Xiaoqi took Uncle Fu's car to a hotel owned by the Lin family, where the birthday party was held.
The two men entered through the back door and went straight past the guests to the room upstairs.
When he opened the door, he saw Lin Zhengting and his three brothers standing together. Seeing Lin Xiaoqi, Lin Zhengting looked loving and said, "Well, not bad. My Xiaoqi is really pretty. She has inherited all the good qualities of my wife." There was some pride in his tone.
"Little sister!" The three boys ran over and looked at Lin Xiaoqi's dazzling outfit with delight.
Lin Xiaoqi looked at his three brothers, who were also dressed in suits and looked like little adults.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother." Lin Xiaoqi called the three boys in a crisp voice.
"Grandpa is downstairs and grandma is still getting ready." Looking at Lin Xiaoqi's eyes looking around for grandma, the eldest brother Lin Xiechi immediately explained gently.
"Xiao Qi is here? I'll be right here."
Before Lin Xiaoqi could say anything, her grandmother's impatient voice rang out.
A graceful old lady came out of the small compartment and her face was filled with joy when she saw Lin Xiaoqi.
"My granddaughter is so pretty." She turned to look at Su Yueran, "Daughter-in-law, is Old Su here?"
Su Yueran smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father and mother are here and are waiting downstairs."
The grandmother was obviously very happy and urged her son repeatedly: "Zhengting, let's go down."
Lin Zhengting naturally couldn't persuade his mother, so he nodded: "Okay."
Five minutes later, the guests' attention was attracted by a family coming down.
The old lady in the center who is the center of attention is obviously the birthday girl of this banquet—Old Lady Lin. To her right is the current head of the Lin family, the only son of the Lin family, Lin Zhengting. To the right of Lin Zhengting is Mrs. Lin, Su Yueran.
In the past, Su Yueran had the title of the most famous lady in Beijing. Even after getting married and having children, her appearance and beauty remained unchanged.
What's more, she is the daughter of the Su family, one of the four giants.
Then there are three boys from the Lin family standing on the far left who look exactly the same, namely Lin Xiechi, Lin Xian and Lin Xining.
However, the most eye-catching person is naturally Lin Xiaoqi, the most favored only daughter of the Lin family.
She held Lin Xian'an's hand with her left hand and Grandma Lin's hand with her right hand.
The noble blue dress and delicate makeup on her face made her look even more stunning and charming.
She looked well-behaved and smiled sweetly at the guests in the hall.
Many ladies were softened by Lin Xiaoqi's smile.
Grandma Lin was invited to the stage, while Lin Xiaoqi was pulled by her three brothers to sit on the side of the stage.
Lin Xiaoqi could see that in the center of the hall was a piano.
While Lin Xiaoqi was looking around, her eyes met with Qin Chenyi's in the distance.
Lin Xiaoqi was puzzled: the Qin family also came to grandma's birthday party.
She thought again: Although the Qin family and the Lin family may not have a close relationship, their business exchanges are still very close.
Qin Wanqing also saw Lin Xiaoqi. She waved her hands vigorously, but was held down by Tian Yunshi and Qin Churan.
Qin Churan looked displeased: "How disrespectful it is to be so careless outside!"
Qin Wanqing then put down her hand with a frustrated look on her face.
Lin Xiaoqi smiled slightly.
Even she herself didn't know when her relationship with the Qin family became so close, and she would no longer avoid Qin Chenyi's gaze.
Lin Xiechi poked Lin Xiaoqi's arm and asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoqi shook her head: "It's okay, I just met someone I know."
Lin Xiechi followed her gaze and saw Qin Chenyi's handsome face at first glance.
He said with disdain: "Little sister, just wait, next time I'll beat Qin Chenyi up."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoqi grinned, "Brother is awesome."
She seemed to have forgotten that in her previous life, her three brothers beat Qin Chenyi together but ended up getting beaten black and blue.
Lin Xiechi's morale was boosted when he heard his little sister's encouragement.
