Chapter 710: Chapter 302: Mutual Change
The two had just sat down in front of the piano when the audience upstairs immediately took their places.
Sister Wu and Wang Andy, of course, didn’t need a mention; they all came out to show their support, and even Quanquan quietly sneaked out of the bedroom, sneakily lying in the corner.
Su Huai, with his thick skin, raised his head and waved his hands to greet them, "Yo, everyone’s here? To all the fans of Xiaojiu and me, good evening, everyone. Is there a particular song you’d like to hear?"
"Oh~~~"
Wang Andy, probably bored out of his mind, really started clapping and exaggeratedly shouted, "It’s the Jiu Huai duo! Jiu Huai, Jiu Huai, I’m your ten-year loyal fan! Can you play your debut song for us?"
Gu Jiuyue laughed out, her icy jade-like face beaming with brightness.
As soon as Uncle Wang, Aunt Liu, and others saw how happy the young lady was, they immediately started clapping and cheering, following in their footsteps.
"Debut song, debut song!"
It was a bit chaotic, but their enthusiasm couldn’t be faulted.
With Su Huai’s thick skin, of course, he could handle it, but Gu Tongshu from the next living room felt like he’d been stabbed yet again—were they holding a concert in his house?!
Heaving, Chu Yan slipped over like a ghost.
"BOSS, Mr. Su and the young lady really look more and more like a perfect match~~~"
Another stab, and old Gu covered his chest and headed upstairs.
He turned and walked away, as if he’d finally made up his mind, never looking back...
Well, looking back was useless anyway; no one was paying him any attention.
The guests huddled together in groups, and suddenly, the seemingly spacious villa was filled with about a dozen more people.
Taking courage, Quanquan quietly approached Lan and whispered, "What’s a debut song? Did Yue and Huai actually release a song?" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
She didn’t understand.
Lan smiled nostalgically and softly replied, "Just watch, and you’ll know. It’s not easy to have the chance to hear them play the piano together..."
At that moment, Su Huai snapped his fingers in a show-off manner, "OK, arranged!"
He looked as unserious as one could be.
But when he looked down again, fixing his gaze on the piano keys, a special kind of temperament replaced the usual him.
Was it elegance?
Quanquan tilted her head to think about it but felt it wasn’t quite right.
It was more like a serious attitude filled with strong confidence, revealed through his calm expression, sprinkled from his long, nimble fingers, and radiating from his gentle and light smile.
Radiating, aimlessly filling the sky without bounds.
Piercing like light into people’s eyes, that, just for a moment of inattention, would be completely penetrated.
Quanquan subconsciously covered her chest, somehow feeling her heartbeat go off rhythm.
Oh no!
It was that feeling of being moved...
But whether it was in her personal world or the reality before her eyes, Su Huai’s gaze never lingered on her.
The young man’s last action was to exchange a smile with Gu Jiuyue as they played a particularly beautiful piano piece together.
She didn’t know it was the "Dance of the Flowers," but she was instantly hit by the hauntingly beautiful melody.
As she listened, Quanquan’s gaze gradually became fixed, staring straight at Su Huai’s face, her heart fluttering with the petals formed by the music.
Even long after the music stopped, she couldn’t close her mouth.
To describe it simply, one word was enough—craving.
She wasn’t always craving Su Huai’s body, but with every encounter, she couldn’t help but feel a longing for a while.
Reason told her to stop thinking about it, that craving was useless, but her emotions always broke through limits, igniting one dream bubble after another.
Once the bubbles burst, reality returned.
Quanquan quietly shrank back, "hiding" wasn’t significant, but the mentality of hiding was heavy.
She clapped softly along with Lan, let out a weak sigh, "What a perfect golden boy and jade maiden..."
Lan nodded firmly, "No one truly deserves the young lady, but Su is the boy who can make her the happiest, they’re really well-matched!"
Really?
A strange thought suddenly surfaced in Quanquan’s heart—if I had the resources like Yueyue...
She clenched her fists, feeling something ignite within her.
...
Gu Tongshu slammed his room door shut, deciding not to listen anymore.
Boring, and not that great to listen to, just soso in his opinion.
Old Gu, feeling huffy, holed up in his study, called friends and relatives in a flurry, notifying them that tomorrow’s birthday banquet was moved to Langliz West Mountain Garden Hotel.
In his fit of anger, he first informed the people and only then communicated with the hotel.
The front desk customer service informed him there were no openings, as everything was booked, to which he gritted his teeth and retorted, "Tell your boss to call me back, and bring the banquet hall I want with them, hurry!"
Gu Tongshu didn’t even give his name, but seeing his 15888888888 phone number, the front desk dared not take it lightly and quickly reported to the department manager.
Less than ten minutes later, the chairman of Hongkun Holdings, Xie Yingkun, returned the call.
"Mr. Gu, your presence will grace us, haha!"
A simple room booking call, from the hotel’s front desk through the top echelon of the conglomerate chairman, bypassing three corporate entities—that was the power of old Gu.
He, long accustomed to such, made his requests succinctly, never asking if the other side could manage them.
The fact was, it was difficult, but it had to be done.
Mr. Xie inquired politely about the details and then the whole hotel started getting into gear.
The general manager communicated with the original customers overnight; there were two couples getting married, who received refunds for their 50,000 deposits and an additional payment double their total fees—it was settled.
The two couples were due to have their weddings the next day, and certainly couldn’t find a good place for their banquets at such short notice, but each, receiving a compensation of five or six hundred thousand, happily went off to arrange a rural buffet with no complaints.
