Chapter 36 You Are Hiding From Me
In a corner of the banquet hall stands a priceless piano, made of precious materials and with excellent tone.
Lin Shuwan sat in front of the piano, her slender and beautiful fingers gently stroking the keys. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling was bright and dazzling, enveloping Lin Shuwan and emitting a hazy and beautiful light.
She was like an elegant white swan, with a dignified demeanor, a perfect profile, a three-dimensional and superior appearance, slightly lowered eyes, nimble fingers, and pleasant piano music echoing in the banquet hall.
Everyone was involuntarily attracted and stared at the angelic girl. She looked like a queen who walked out of a Greek painting, noble and elegant.
This was the scene Fu Yanci saw when he came.
Lin Shuwan was born to be the center of attention and the focus of everyone.
"Damn! Xiao Shuwan has this side to her! It's really impressive!" He Yunzhuo who came with her exclaimed.
Fu Yanci had a blank expression on his face, and said bluntly, "Are you familiar with her?"
He Yunzhuo didn't notice the jealousy in Fu Yanci's words and continued to show off, "What you said hurts the firm revolutionary friendship between me and Xiao Shuwan."
Although Lin Shuwan had only been in Hai City for a short time, he had met her several times. He had a good impression of this gentle and low-key sister. She had a clean and calm temperament and did not have the problems of girls in the circle.
Not only was He Yunzhuo surprised that Lin Shu played the piano at the party, but people at the scene who had met her at previous gatherings were also secretly surprised.
"Isn't Lin Shuwan from the countryside? How come he plays the piano so well?"
It’s not that I think country people can’t develop artistic interests, but learning piano is really an expensive project.
"You practiced it after coming to Hai City, right?"
"Are you kidding me? She's playing Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 16 in G major! To play to this level, it must have taken her years of practice!"
"Maybe... her adoptive parents aren't particularly poor."
The group of people re-examined Lin Shuwan. At least from the fact that Old Lin brought her to the banquet today, while Lin Mucheng and Lin Yuyao did not show up, it can be seen that Lin Shuwan is not an insignificant illegitimate daughter.
After the song ended, Lin Shuwan walked over calmly. Old Lin had a satisfied look in his eyes, and Old Zhou was also unusually kind.
"Chang You, your little granddaughter is extraordinary." Old Zhou praised.
"From a distance, I saw a beautiful girl. She turned out to be Grandpa Lin's granddaughter."
A frivolous and playful voice was heard, and a young man walked over.
He didn't wear his suit properly, with his shirt collar unbuttoned below his chest, and wore a cross earring on his left ear. He looked carefree, and his upturned eyebrows were openly gazing at Lin Shuwan.
"Where have you been again? I haven't seen you for a long time!" Mr. Zhou's tone was serious, but there was no blame in his voice, and his eyes were full of doting.
"Your party is so boring. If I hadn't heard such beautiful piano music, I wouldn't have come out at all, but—"
Zhou Zilang looked at Lin Shuwan with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "It's a good thing I came out so I can see such a beautiful sister."
"Zilang has grown up so much." Elder Lin pulled Lin Shuwan over and introduced her, "Shuwan, this is your Grandpa Zhou's eldest grandson, Zhou Zilang."
Lin Shuwan didn't really like Zhou Zilang's temperament, so she greeted him politely but distantly, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"I call you sister, shouldn't you call me good brother?"
Lin Shuwan frowned.
Greasy.
Zhou Zilang did not give up. He took a step forward, tilted his head and approached Lin Shuwan, his eyes full of playfulness and a smug smile on his lips.
Despite such disrespectful behavior, Mr. Zhou did not stop it. He watched lovingly as his grandson molested the girl in public. He stood calmly behind him, like a parent who indulged his child.
Lin Shuwan clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the urge to slap Zhou Zilang in the face.
Suddenly, a wine glass appeared between the two of them. As if it was not held firmly, the red liquid splashed directly into Zhou Zilang's eyes.
The owner of the wine glass was completely unaware and politely greeted, "Grandpa Zhou, I wish you a long life, as long as the Southern Mountains."
"Fu Yanci——"
Zhou Zilang pointed at the culprit in frustration.
Fu Yanci shielded Lin Shuwan behind him without leaving any trace, and looked at Zhou Zilang in feigned confusion, "Why are you calling me with such deep affection? Did you miss me?"
The two of them had been at odds since childhood, fighting from kindergarten to high school, and Zhou Zilang had never won. Every time he provoked him, he was defeated.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, He Yunzhuo squeezed in and said, "Grandpa Zhou, I wish you a long and prosperous life. My parents went to Yancheng for a meeting and asked me to come and visit them as their representative."
Old Zhou smiled and nodded, as if he couldn't see the tit-for-tat between the younger generations.
The rest of the people at the banquet seemed to be toasting each other, and at this moment, their attention was focused on the center.
The four major families in Hai City gathered together, which was quite an interesting scene.
The older generation all know that although the four families seem to be getting along well, in fact, their interests are intertwined and their relationship is on thin ice.
Except for the Fu family and the He family, which have maintained a good relationship for many years, there are some feuds and grudges between the remaining families.
Zhou Zilang's eyes were about to burst into sparks. He Yunzhuo grabbed Fu Yanci with one hand and Lin Shuwan with the other.
"Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Lin, you two can chat while we young people go play nearby."
"This is the Zhou family's territory. If you cause trouble, you will be the one who suffers!" He Yunzhuo reminded Fu Yanci.
The other party didn't care, with his hands in his pockets. He glanced at He Yunzhuo pulling Lin Shuwan's hand, his face turned as black as charcoal, and he pulled He Yunzhuo aside with a cold face.
He Yunzhuo looked like a domineering president who was jealous and wanted to steal someone's love. He was a little confused when he was suddenly "domineeringly favored" by him.
Fu Yanci: "It's not like I haven't beaten him to tears in his territory before."
Even if all the Zhou family members came, they might not be his match.
"Okay, you are the Domineering Soldier King!"
After worrying about this, He Yunzhuo turned around and warned another one, "Xiao Shuwan, stay away from Zhou Zilang from now on. He is not a good person."
Zhou Zilang is notorious. Although the news is always suppressed by the Zhou family, everyone knows about the bad things he has done!
He bullied men and women, drank and drove recklessly, and even caused deaths. Many good girls fell into his hands.
That is an animal that thinks with its lower body and cannot move when it sees a woman.
The way he looked at Lin Shuwan just now was like a hungry wolf seeing its prey. If it goes crazy, it will tear the person to pieces without any care.
Lin Shuwan nodded obediently, "Got it, thank you Brother Yunzhuo."
Hearing this name, Young Master Fu sneered.
He Yunzhuo looked back at him in confusion, thinking he was angry, and stood up for justice, "Don't bully Xiao Shuwan!"
Lin Shuwan was of course well aware of Fu Yanci's temper and did not dare to look up at him.
She looked at He Yunzhuo with heartache. He was being targeted but still foolishly spoke up for her. Brother Yunzhuo was really a good man.
No matter where they were, Fu Yanci and He Yunzhuo were the focus of the crowd, and Lin Shuwan took the opportunity to hide away.
There is a small garden outside the Zhou family's house, which is beautifully maintained. The delicate flowers bloom at night, with a rich fragrance.
Lin Shuwan was quietly watching under the flower stand when a beautiful Juliet rose was suddenly pinned on her ear.
The other person's fingers brushed the tip of his ear, the warmth still lingering on his ear, but his hand had already been withdrawn.
Fu Yanci leaned against the railing in the moonlight, his hands in his pockets, his brows cold, like a noble prince at night.
"You're avoiding me."
It's not a question, it's an affirmative sentence.
