When Lou Huaiyu returned home, the quiet atmosphere in the room was chilling. She tried to get rid of the emotional turmoil those words brought to her, but the emotion in her heart could not calm down. Lou Huaiyu's thoughts drifted involuntarily to Yan Zhenxi, the man who always made waves in her heart. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. It seemed that there was always a thin veil between her and Yan Zhenxi, making it difficult for her to see the true emotions. Recalling every bit of time spent with Yan Zhenxi, those sweet and painful times, those deep feelings and understanding that words cannot express. Whenever she thinks about this, there will always be an indescribable feeling in her heart. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky outside the window. The phone's ringtone suddenly rang, breaking the silence of the room. "Isn't that the pianist? There have been scandals recently." A woman whispered to her partner next to her, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in her voice.
"Yes, I heard that she had some scandal with Yan Zhenxi, but I don't know whether it is true or not." Another guest joined the discussion, curiosity and speculation in his eyes. Some people were more straightforward and did not hide their surprise and dissatisfaction: "Really, she dares to come to such an occasion, isn't she afraid of embarrassing the Yan family?" These whispers and discussions were like invisible blades, piercing Lou Huaiyu's heart. "Humph, a little person wants to get hold of Master Yan. Are you kidding me?" A lady in a gorgeous dress spread her opinion in the small circle. Although her voice was low, it was enough for people around her to hear. . "Really, you dare to come to such an occasion, you are shameless!" "Hey, in today's society, people will do anything to get ahead." A group of people gathered in a small circle, whispering, and looking at Lou Huaiyu from time to time. Lou Huaiyu felt that the atmosphere around her was getting more and more tense, and she realized that she had become the center of attention. At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the crowd, it was Yan Zhenxi. He walked straight to Lou Huaiyu, his attitude cold but with a hint of unquestionable majesty. His arrival immediately made the scene quieter, and all eyes were focused on him. There was a hint of indifference in Yan Zhenxi's voice: "Why are you here?" Obviously, Yan Zhenxi did not know about this and did not welcome her. Lou Huaiyu was angry at being ridiculed and did not want to get entangled with Yan Zhenxi, a heartless man. Just as she turned around to leave, Mrs. Yan's voice sounded behind her and her footsteps stopped abruptly. "Miss Lou, why are you leaving so soon?" There was an imperceptible sharpness in Mrs. Yan's voice. Lou Huaiyu turned around and faced Mrs. Yan. Her expression revealed a hint of embarrassment, but she still remained polite: "Mrs. Yan, I wish you a happy golden wedding. I'll leave first!"
Mrs. Yan's eyes looked up and down Lou Huaiyu's body, and her tone was polite but scrutinizing: "You look like you have lost a lot of weight?" When Lou Huaiyu heard Mrs. Yan's words, she became nervous, fearing that Mrs. Yan would find out that she was pregnant. "No, maybe it's because I've been too busy at work recently." Mrs. Yan did not notice Lou Huaiyu's nervousness, and just said lightly: "Young people can endure hardship, but your body is your capital, so you still have to take good care of yourself." Lou Huaiyu expressed his gratitude again: "Thank you, Mrs. Yan, for the reminder. I'll pay attention." At this moment, Mrs. Yan seemed to have thought of something, and she smiled slightly: "I heard that you have made a lot of achievements in music recently, which is really gratifying. I also have many friends in the music industry here today, so you might as well stay Communicate more.” Lou Huaiyu's heart tightened, and he politely refused: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I am really busy today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stay. I hope I can communicate with you next time." Just as Lou Huaiyu was about to say goodbye to Mrs. Yan, Shen Chuqing came over gracefully and took Mrs. Yan's arm affectionately. Her eyes stayed on Lou Huaiyu for a moment, and then she said in a deliberately exaggerated tone: "Ms. Lou, I heard that you play the piano very well, which is really enviable." This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and everyone's eyes focused on Lou Huaiyu. Some people looked at her curiously, while others whispered and discussed. "It seems there is really something good to watch tonight." One of the guests secretly commented. Lou Huaiyu felt her scalp numb. She did not expect that she would become the target of public criticism and the focus of the banquet. She tried her best to stay calm and said politely to Shen Chuqing, "Thank you for the compliment. After all, piano is my main business." Shen Chuqing smiled slightly, and there seemed to be an ulterior motive in her eyes: "Miss Lou is too humble." In the din of the banquet, Lou Huaiyu could clearly hear the whispers and sarcasm of the people around her, and these words pierced her heart like needles. Some people mocked her as just a clown struggling in the music industry and not worthy of appearing on such an occasion. She still maintained an elegant smile, not letting her inner vacillation show. There was a dangerous kindness in Shen Chuqing's tone: "Miss Lou, today is Mrs. Yan's golden wedding celebration. I hope you can play a song to cheer up, okay?" Everyone present turned their attention to Lou Huaiyu. Lou Huaiyu was shocked. She understood that Shen Chuqing was setting a trap in public. She was a guest at the banquet, not an actor. Shen Chuqing deliberately made things difficult for herself, and she firmly found a suitable excuse to refuse. Mrs. Yan stood aside and did not express her position clearly, but her dissatisfied eyes were enough to show her attitude towards Lou Huaiyu. Lou Huaiyu glanced at Yan Zhenxi inadvertently, and saw him standing aside coldly, expressionless, seemingly indifferent to everything in front of him. "I'm just a guest here to congratulate Mrs. Yan on her golden wedding. I don't want to affect the atmosphere here because of me." Lou Huaiyu's words were full of respect and humility. Seeing Lou Huaiyu's response, Shen Chuqing showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. "Miss Lou is so polite!" Lou Huaiyu smiled slightly and replied: "Today is Mrs. Yan's big day. I don't want to make a lot of noise. Besides, I am really unprepared. I'm afraid I will disappoint everyone."
"Miss Lou, isn't Aunt Yan's golden wedding banquet worthy of your performance? It seems that you don't take the Yan family seriously either." The sisters beside Shen Chuqing spoke sharply. Just as Lou Huaiyu was about to retort, Yan Zhenxi suddenly spoke, and his voice was clearly audible in the banquet hall: "Since everyone is looking forward to it, Miss Lou might as well play a song to add some atmosphere." His words were clearly on Shen Chuqing's side and seemed to support her proposal. Lou Huaiyu felt frustrated and suppressed her anger. At this moment, the tense atmosphere was interrupted by a sudden voice.
