Even though he knew Wen Lu was a novice and could easily destroy his million-dollar piano, Xiao Ran couldn't bring himself to refuse her when he looked at the beautiful Wen Lu.
Su Yu, watching the interaction between Wen Lu and Xiao Ran from below the stage, gritted her teeth in resentment. She thought Wen Lu was really shameless. Even at this time, she still couldn't help but seduce Xiao Ran. It was disgusting!
Having obtained Xiao Ran's consent, Wen Lu gave him a sweet smile, a smile that immediately touched Xiao Ran's heart.
She knew how beautiful she was, and she believed that from this day forward, Xiao Ran would always remember this smile, and regret and remorse would always accompany him.
The delicate Wen Lu walked to the piano and sat down. Her slender, jade-like fingers gently rested on the piano keys, casually tapping the keys with her fingertips, and individual syllables emerged one by one.
Seeing Wen Lu's clumsy movements, Su Yu sneered. She knew that Wen Lu's confidence was just an act. She had never been exposed to anything like this before, so how could she suddenly learn piano lessons?
Everyone present laughed at Wen Lu's actions, thinking he was a real master, only to find that all his moves were just feints.
However, Xiao Ran's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment. He understood what Wen Lu was doing. This was a movement that only professional pianists would make before getting used to a new piano. He couldn't believe that Wen Lu actually understood this.
Just as everyone was laughing at Wen Lu, melodious piano music began to play, and the venue instantly fell silent.
At this moment, not only Xiao Ran's face turned ugly, but even Su Yu's smug expression froze on her face.
Both the Xiao and Wen families knew Wen Lu well, and they were extremely shocked, never expecting that Wen Lu would have such a level of skill.
At this moment, only Wang Xiuli, who was outside the venue, had a normal expression. He had recorded the entire ten minutes of Wen Lu playing the piano on his phone and forwarded it directly to Wang Jinyu.
When Wen Lu's music stopped, Xiao Ran was the first to run to Wen Lu's side. He looked at Wen Lu in disbelief, feeling that Wen Lu's skill level had far surpassed his own. He felt like he was dreaming.
"Wen Lu, you... are you really Wen Lu? When... when did you learn to play the piano? How... how can your piano skills be so amazing?"
Xiao Ran excitedly tried to grab Wen Lu, but Wen Lu was quick. She immediately stood up, left the piano, and distanced herself from the two of them.
“Brother Xiao Ran, I learned to play the piano for you, but unfortunately you don’t like me. You only like Su Yu, the real daughter of the Wen family.”
Seeing Xiao Ran's shocked expression, Wen Lu gave a bitter smile. She turned around and looked at the crowd in the hall, finally focusing her gaze on Wen Zhengnan and his wife. She bowed respectfully to them.
"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Wen, for raising me all these years. Now that your biological daughter is back, I, as your adopted daughter, will no longer bother the Wen family. I have received the household registration book you gave me. From now on, I, Wen Lu, will no longer disturb Mr. and Mrs. Wen's lives."
As Wen Lu said these words, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks like two strings of broken pearls, making her look so pitiful that the onlookers couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Wen Zhengnan and his wife held hands tightly. They both knew what kind of occasion this was. All the important people in Harbin were here today. He didn't dare to refute Wen Lu's words, but he didn't want to admit it either. Wen Lu had put them in a dilemma.
Looking at Wen Zhengnan's pale face, Wen Lu was secretly overjoyed. She almost... almost couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
But now is not the time to be happy. She is still a pitiful little cabbage and cannot let anyone see that something is wrong with her.
Wen Lu turned to look at Su Yu, who was staring at Xiao Ran. She knew Su Yu must be regretting it now. Her original intention was to embarrass Wen Lu, but she never expected Wen Lu to have such abilities.
"Su Yu, I know you hate me the most. You think I stole your identity, your parents, and your fiancé. But you need to understand that none of this was something I could choose or decide. You don't need to hurt yourself to frame me anymore. From today onwards, I'm giving back your parents, your family, and your fiancé to you. Take good care of yourself from now on!"
Wen Lu clutched her chest, feigning heartbreak. In everyone's eyes, she was not only a helpless little cabbage, but also the most tragic heroine in a melodramatic drama.
Some of the ladies couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to ask Wen Lu to be their daughter. Who wouldn't want such a beautiful and talented daughter? They had heard that Wen Lu's grades at school were also exceptionally good.
Such an outstanding girl, even if she is not their own flesh and blood, would be the envy of others to have her by their side. They couldn't understand why the Wen family couple would be so foolish.
Su Yu looked at Wen Lu, and she was almost going crazy. She never expected Wen Lu to say such a thing here. Her previous pretense of being dignified and elegant almost broke down. How come she didn't know when Wen Lu turned into a green tea?
Looking at Su Yu's ferocious appearance, Wen Lu thought of many sad things before suppressing the slight upturn of her lips.
She now finds being a "green tea" (a manipulative woman) incredibly enjoyable. Completely blocking the path of "green tea" types and pushing them to the brink of disaster is just too satisfying.
Grandma Xiao looked at Wen Lu with heartache and wanted to stand up. She wanted to tell Wen Lu that she was not without support, that she still had the Xiao family.
"Lulu, you still have your grandma. Grandma will protect you for the rest of your life!"
Looking at the old lady who had aged considerably in an instant, Wen Lu sighed with heartache, and tears welled up in her eyes once again.
"Grandma, you are the best grandma in the world, but I can't be a burden to you! Don't worry about my health, I will take good care of myself when I'm out there. I can live well on my own, but... I can't go to the Xiao family."
"With Brother Xiao Ran in the Xiao family, I cannot interfere with Brother Xiao Ran and Su Yu's marriage. I am not suitable to live in the Xiao family. Grandma, if you love me, please accept the relationship between Su Yu and Brother Xiao Ran. They are truly in love. The marriage between the Xiao family and the Wen family was arranged by the two grandfathers. I cannot ruin it because of you."
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought these things up at your birthday banquet today, but I don't know when I'll see Mrs. and Mr. Wen again, and I just wanted to thank them in front of them."
