Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Autistic Piano Girl VS Part-Time Tutor (Twenty-Six) Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Autistic Piano Girl VS Part-Time Tutor (Twenty-Six) Gu Shengyin knew these matters crystal clear.
But now she was Ning Zhao, the Ning Zhao who didn’t care about external affairs, so she was “completely unaware” of the things Yang Huiying was doing.
She had prepared a big gift for Yang Huiying.
Ning Zhao’s eighteenth birthday was arriving soon.
The Tang Family treated Ning Zhao as their own daughter, and since her illness had been recurrent in the past two years, they hadn’t dared to let her meet strangers.
Now that Ning Zhao had gotten much better, Mother Tang decided to host a grand birthday banquet to announce Ning Zhao’s presence to the outside world.
With the Tang Family’s capability, the guests secured two-thirds of the elites in the Imperial Capital.
Since Ning Zhao loved music, Mother Tang also specially spent a considerable amount to invite a famous national orchestra to perform.
Coincidentally, that orchestra was the Lemon Tree Orchestra.
“Master Feng, it’s just a youngster’s birthday. You don’t necessarily have to go personally,” his assistant said softly.
Master Feng shook his head, “That old guy, Tang Qingshan, if I don’t go personally, he might show up at my house tomorrow.”
Tang Qingshan was Father Tang, and Master Feng was very clear about this old friend’s temperament.
Father Tang and Mother Tang stood on either side of Ning Zhao, introducing her to the guests.
The way they did it made everyone clearly understand that the girl’s status in the Tang Family was probably not low.
Some observant people noticed that although Ning Zhao kept smiling throughout, she hardly spoke a few words. They sighed to themselves, feeling the girl seemed excessively introverted.
Right when the banquet was about to start, Gu Shengyin suddenly walked towards the chief pianist of the Lemon Tree Orchestra.
Tang Zhongyi certainly followed her.
Gu Shengyin glanced at Tang Zhongyi, and he immediately understood what she meant.
“May I borrow your piano for a moment?” Tang Zhongyi, not understanding why Zhaozhao suddenly needed the piano, still asked courteously.
The chief pianist of the Lemon Tree Orchestra looked displeased. Being the chief of the Lemon Tree Orchestra, he was a renowned figure in the music world. This was his private piano, crafted by a master craftsman at great cost and not usually touched casually.
He was about to refuse when Master Feng looked over, “Lingzhi, do me a favor. Today is this young lady’s birthday. Let her touch your cherished piano.”
He knew about the young lady Ning Zhao from his old friend, and knew she was Tang Zhongyi’s future bride, so he certainly couldn’t let her be embarrassed.
Since Master Feng had spoken, the chief had no choice but to step aside. He silently swore to himself: if this young lady’s skills were too poor, for the sake of his beloved piano, he would not let her continue, feeling it would be an insult to his love for the instrument.
Gu Shengyin, seemingly oblivious to the chief’s expression, sat down composedly and then looked at Tang Zhongyi with a smile.
“This is a piece I composed for you,” she winked at him.
Tang Zhongyi looked at her tenderly.
The stirring around their corner also attracted many guests’ attentions. Hearing that Ning Zhao had composed a piece for Tang Family’s second young master, and seeing the couple’s demeanor as well as Tang Qingshan and his wife’s unsurprised looks, many recalculated Ning Zhao’s position in their minds.
When Ning Zhao’s fingers touched the keys that moment, her demeanor transformed completely.
Her expression was a mix of joy and sorrow, and her slender, fair fingers danced over the keys, with notes pouring forth from her fingertips.
The chief and Master Feng’s faces had changed.
