Chapter 1071: No One Knows How The Children Will End Up

At this moment, Gu Zheng was waiting for Qiao Xi in the hall. When she saw the tall man, she quickened her pace. “Have you eaten?”

Gu Zheng shook his head and held her hand with a smile. “Mrs. Gu wasn’t around, so how could I be in the mood to eat?”

Hence, he came out to look for Mrs. Gu. Unexpectedly, he encountered this farce and Xia Yunlou’s crazy behavior.

Qiao Xi smiled, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated a little. She casually said, “In the past, Xia Yunlou was unwilling to acknowledge me as her daughter. Now that I don’t acknowledge her anymore, she’s actually sad. How laughable!”

Gu Zheng looked at the end of the corridor and said thoughtfully, “No one knows how the children will end up. The children of Xia Cheng have completely different personalities!”

“Perhaps it’s because of the living environment. After all, Xia Yunlou grew up in the Xia family. In such an atmosphere, she’s naturally more and more like them. As for that Xia Ji, although he’s a little calmer than Xia Yunlou, he’s also a scheming person. Find a chance to investigate him carefully. Perhaps you’ll gain something unexpected,” Qiao Xi said indifferently.

At this moment, Yin Jinglin’s birthday party was still going on. Gu Zheng said softly, “I called Gu Yao over too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a confused Young Master Gu walk in. The instant he saw Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi, his eyes instantly lit up as he skipped in like a child.

Qiao Xi knew that Gu Zheng wanted to hand the Gu family’s business to Gu Yao. Although he was not the Gu family’s biological son, it was not a good choice to hand the business to Gu Weiming or Lu Yan. Gu Yao was simple-minded and very smart. Although he might not be able to guarantee that the company would flourish, it would at least be very stable in his hands and would not be an obstacle to Gu Zheng.

Now that Gu Yao was no longer that good-for-nothing young master, he could hold up half the responsibility. Hence, Gu Zheng wanted him to make some connections to pave the way for him to officially take over the Gu family in the future.

Gu Yao followed the two of them into the private room. Qiao Xi introduced Gu Yao to everyone.

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Yin frowned. “Huang Lilan is really evil. Not only did she harm Qingyun, but she also harmed an innocent child! Speaking of which, Qingyun and Yunqiu were friends for many years. Unfortunately, Shengdu and Li City are too far away. The two children didn’t have time to see each other after they grew up. I didn’t expect that after they parted…”

Her tone was filled with sorrow. Even though so many years had passed, she could not help but feel sad when she thought of her poor daughter and Lu Qingyun.

Yin Jinglin also said angrily, “Huang Lilan caused Eldest Miss Lu to die of depression and caused Gu Yao to be separated from his biological parents. She also caused Gu Zheng a tragic fate! By the way, have you found Young Master Gu’s biological parents? Our Yin family has a lot of connections. We might be able to help.”

Yin Lianxin sized up Gu Yao. His eyes were clear and his face was handsome. She found him a little familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, she found it impossible.

However, his eyes reminded her of someone. They were also so pure and clear.

…

After the birthday banquet ended, Yin Jinglin’s friends left first. The Yin family sat for a while and prepared to leave. As soon as they went downstairs, they heard the sound of a piano.

There were many musical instruments placed in the hall on the first floor of Yingyun Hall. The customers could play as they pleased. The pianist was a little girl. She was not very skilled and made many mistakes. Then, a few children gathered together and laughed. They casually pressed the keys.

The adults were still chatting after dinner, so the children got bored and went downstairs to play with their instruments.

Yin Lianxin looked at the children and could not help but sigh. “When I heard the piano, I couldn’t help but think of my old friend. Unfortunately, his wife and daughter are no longer around. He went crazy and never played the piano again.”

Yin Yunyi asked softly, “Are you talking about Uncle Yue?”

Old Madam Yin nodded. “Yes. Back then, Yue Tangqing’s piano piece made many people yearn for to listen to his music again. Unfortunately, I’ve never heard it again.”

“Mom, don’t be sad,” Yin Yunyi comforted her.

Old Madam Yin shook her head. “I can’t say that I’m sad. I just think it’s a pity. Many people have long forgotten about that piano prince. Although his wife and daughter are no longer around, he should still live well. However, he’s too stubborn and has been living in pain.”

At the mention of this friend, Yin Lianxin could not help but feel a little sad. Then, she smiled and shook her head. “Today is Jinglin’s birthday, so let’s not talk about this.”

Qiao Xi blinked. She had heard Fourth Brother mention Yue Tangqing before. Mr. Yue was an expert pianist, but because of his family, he never played the piano again.
