The scene was similar to that described in the book: Tang Ruowei was playing music for Grandpa Tang, and then Tang Ruowei's friends took the opportunity to urge Xie Yunyu to sing a song.
Xie Yunyu was initially dismissive, but then Tang's parents appeared. Xie Yunyu's older brother, Tang Ruozheng, supported her, and Xie Yunyu went on stage and sang a song.
Then, the piano master Louis appeared. As soon as Tang's mother said that Louis had come to recognize Tang Ruowei as his apprentice, Louis looked at Xie Yunyu with teary eyes and called her master.
Tang's parents and Tang Ruowei lost all face, so Old Master Tang stepped in to take charge.
Grandpa Tang also took the opportunity to announce that his granddaughter had returned and that he would give her five percent of the Tang family's shares. Tang's father made a scene, and Tang Ruozheng quickly pulled him away.
Xie Yunyu refused, but Tang Ruozheng persuaded her, and she finally accepted it.
Ah, as expected, the power of a well-developed plot.
This farce has now come to an end, marking the conclusion of the first act.
"Wow, this girl is amazing!" Ye Lin said with envy. "She's Louis's mentor. That song 'Will-o'-the-Wisp' was really good! I wish I had that talent."
That's the truth. Tang Ruowei's piano skills are quite good, and the Tang family has indeed nurtured her very well. However, she is still young, so her playing lacks a bit of emotion. Moreover, Liszt's "Will-o'-the-Wisp" is inherently very difficult.
But Xie Yunyu is different. She seems to be a natural pianist. Ye Lin himself plays the piano, so he can naturally tell that "Xie Yunyu has perfect pitch."
Ye Lin looked at Xie Yunyu with eyes full of envy.
How many music students don't wish they had perfect pitch?
But how many people in the world have perfect pitch?
"Little Ye, you're not bad either." They all knew that Ye Lin had also played the piano at first, but later chose to give it up.
Ye Lin let out a long sigh of relief. "I know, but for me, the piano is just a hobby, a seasoning in life, not my whole life." She had once considered majoring in piano, but later discovered that there are too many people in the world who are musically talented.
They are talented, and they work even harder.
Most importantly, for her, the piano is a hobby, not her life.
In comparison, she is happier in the virtual world.
So after confirming her feelings, she decisively gave up and chose computer science as her major.
"I'm not worried anymore. I've long since come to terms with it. Some people rely on talent, some rely on hard work, but I'm not one of them."
It's been so long, I've let it go long ago.
At that time, Ye Lin gave up the piano and got drunk in a private room at Dexin Club, crying and complaining incessantly.
It's heartbreaking.
In this world, we often want many things, but we must always learn to make choices.
"But I'm quite curious, do you think the Tang family didn't investigate the background of their real daughter when they brought her back?" Fu Mutian curled her lips. What kind of well-bred lady could Tang's parents, who were so short-sighted, raise?
It's also thanks to Tang Ruozheng having been by Grandpa Tang's side since childhood.
“We probably won’t be able to find it,” Shen Bei’an said, his peach blossom eyes curving slightly as he looked towards the center. They had found a secluded spot where usually no one came.
Not to mention that the female lead has a pseudonym as a hacker, the Xie family's influence is something the Tang family can't even touch.
As for Grandpa Tang, his granddaughter looks like his deceased wife. Once the paternity test results come out, he won't care about his granddaughter's past. He's probably heartbroken because she was left to wander outside.
"I reckon there aren't many people in the entire capital who know about this." Sheng Jingchen shrugged. Some who wanted to know had no way of knowing, while those who did know looked down on the Tang family.
They were just curious; after all, who wouldn't love a free spectacle?
"These two daughters of the Tang family won't be starting their senior year of high school until this fall, right?" Fu Mutian suddenly thought.
All four of them graduated from Beijing University. They entered the university early, skipped many grades, and graduated very early.
Only Ye Lin wanted to pursue further studies and went on to graduate school.
Shen Beian couldn't understand why authors insisted on writing female protagonists as high school students.
Are college students not good enough?
Are college students not allowed to date?
Look at Xiao Yezi, isn't that the guy you dated in college?
"Yes, Tang Ruowei is at Qingjin High School, so Grandpa Tang also sent Xie Yunyu there." Qingjin High School is the best high school in Beijing, and all of them graduated from there.
"It wasn't easy for Grandpa Tang to get Xie Yunyu in there."
"Xie Yunyu's abilities are not bad. Old Master Tang only provided her with a stepping stone. Xie Yunyu got in on her own merit, with full monitoring throughout and two or three teachers supervising her. The questions were all newly created. She almost always passed with full marks. She even made it to the trending topics recently." Sheng Jingchen, after all, controls an entertainment company, so he naturally pays attention to these things.
Shen Bei'an: As expected, it's all a familiar plot.
"But why does it seem to me that the eldest son of the Chu family prefers Tang Ruowei?"
"Isn't this normal?" Fu Mutian followed his gaze. "Chu Xiao and Tang Ruowei are childhood sweethearts. Their relationship developed from growing up together, so it's naturally extraordinary. As for the 'sudden arrival' versus the childhood sweetheart, unless the 'sudden arrival' is exceptionally outstanding, how many people would choose the 'sudden arrival'?"
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Bei'an. Wasn't this a typical example of childhood sweethearts who eventually became a couple?
Two pairs of eyes kept glancing over there; one was Lu Ming's, and the other's gaze was self-evident.
"That's true." In a family like theirs, it's naturally best to grow up together and know each other inside and out.
The banquet was almost over, and Shen Bei'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; nothing had happened.
In the original book, his eldest nephew started getting to know Xie Yunyu because his sister-in-law liked piano music.
