After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

He Wenyuan walked onto the stage with a microphone, smiling, and said, "Today we have a distinguished guest who came to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. She was so happy that she stood up. Can you guess who it is?"

He deliberately kept it a secret.

Grandma He is old and has difficulty walking, so she has been in a wheelchair for many years.

He Wenyuan said she stood up happily, which made her sons look over at the old lady's table with surprise.

"Really? Mom can stand up again? That's wonderful!"

"It's because his granddaughter-in-law came, he's happy, isn't he?" someone chimed in. "I heard that the Lu family's young lady has recovered, which means she's blessed."

"Double happiness! Double happiness!" someone shouted again.

Who in the circle doesn't know about Lu Sijian's deeds? She carries the aura of a hero who did what was right, and she's the person Lou Xiao insisted on marrying. Plus, with Lu Lingjun present, everyone has to say a few good words to her, no matter what.

Lu Lingjun smiled and thanked everyone for their kind words.

[Don't thank me, brother, you're thanking me too soon.]

They clearly set a trap for us; I'm not the one who should be in the limelight today.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Sijian finished speaking, He Wenyuan said in a warm voice, "Welcome Mu Liangyue!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on here?

Under the gaze of everyone, Mu Liangyue braced herself and walked onto the stage.

She was wearing a cheongsam today, which was fresh and elegant with a touch of classical grace, making her incredibly beautiful.

"As everyone knows, my grandmother suffered from chronic leg pain. She had seen countless doctors over the years, but none of them could cure her. It was Liangyue who recommended a famous doctor to treat my grandmother and also helped her with massage and acupuncture, which allowed my grandmother to stand up again!"

"She was the distinguished guest who made my grandmother so happy that she stood up!"

After he finished speaking, he led the applause, and the crowd below followed suit, gradually creating a wave of applause throughout the venue.

Mu Liangyue was surprised that He Wenyuan would pull such a stunt. She had heard his previous remarks and felt embarrassed.

"I've come to offer my birthday wishes. I've heard that Grandma Lou enjoys the erhu, so I'd like to present this birthday song to wish Grandma Lou boundless happiness and longevity!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Sijian from afar, hoping that Miss Lu would not misunderstand.

When her gaze shifted and met Lu Lingjun's dark, deep eyes, her heart tightened involuntarily.

The eldest son used to enjoy listening to her play the erhu, saying that her erhu playing could calm people down.

I don't know if he's still troubled by nightmares, but I hope that the sound of the erhu today can bring him a moment of peace.

Mu Liangyue didn't think much of anything. She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and a series of smooth and beautiful erhu notes flowed from her fingertips.

Everyone present was surprised; even those who didn't understand music could tell that she played the erhu quite well.

To play so well even as an amateur shows that you've clearly put in a lot of effort and thought into it; it's very impressive.

After listening for a while, Lu Sijian also felt there was nothing to criticize.

It's just that it's well played, but there's still a long way to go before it's truly exceptional.

Skills can be mastered through hard work, but talent is innate and a formidable barrier that is difficult for ordinary people to overcome.

She lost interest after listening for a while and turned to look at the table next to her.

Lu Lingbai listened intently, while Lu Lingjun remained indifferent, seemingly unmoved.

[Wait a minute, wasn't Mu Liangyue's success in winning Lu Lingjun's heart primarily through her exceptional erhu skills?]

Although he's very shrewd, he has a high level of appreciation for music and art; I don't know why he's so fond of the erhu.

Lu Lingbai glanced at Lu Lingjun hesitantly. How come he didn't know that his older brother liked to listen to the erhu?

After Mu Liangyue finished playing the erhu, she obediently walked off the stage. She wanted to go to the table at the end, but He Wenyuan, who had been prepared in advance, blocked her way and invited her to the main table.

Grandma He, of course, wanted to support her grandson, and said with a smile, "I like you very much, so come and sit here with me."

There were only two seats next to her. Lu Sijian sat on one side, and although Mu Liangyue declined, she was still moved to the other side.

He Wenyuan said a few more words to create a pleasant atmosphere before putting down the microphone and walking over to stand behind Lu Sijian and talk to Old Madam He.

Lu Sijian picked up the emerald green vegetable roll and gave him a meaningful look.

[Singing and dancing here, such a showman, no wonder the Ho family's stocks are all down.]

He Wenyuan suddenly understood the look in her eyes, and his face turned green.

The He family has been on a downward spiral for years. His father has been actively looking for new profit growth points, but unfortunately, all his efforts have only resulted in losing more money.

Some media outlets were quite vicious, saying that judging from his father's demeanor, he didn't seem like a businessman, but rather like a theatrical performer.

He Wenyuan took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.

"Lu Sijian, I heard you used to play the erhu. Now that you're feeling better, why don't you show off your skills?"

Whether they were instructed to do so or not, the people around them also joined in the commotion.

"It's the old lady's birthday, so her granddaughter-in-law should have a talent show."

"We'd also like to hear the First Socialite play the erhu, see if it sounds better than Miss Mu's."

"One more, one more!"

Mu Liangyue: "Isn't that inappropriate? Miss Lu has only just recovered."

She sensed that He Wenyuan seemed to want to make things difficult for Lu Sijian and didn't want to compare the two of them.

He Wenyuan: "Liangyue, you're wrong. How much effort does it take to play an erhu?"

Grandma He's face darkened; she was very unhappy.

There are doubts about whether she really can't pull it, or whether she's just an old woman who doesn't want to pull it.

Lu Sijian said calmly, "Young Master He, you may have made a mistake. I don't know how to play the erhu."

They simply refused to open for business.

He Wenyuan: "What about the violin? The sister of the violin prodigy Lu Lingchen, surely she can't even play this?"

"No," Lu Sijian still refused.

Even a fool could tell this was her excuse, after all, Lu Sijian had performed a violin solo at the He family before.

"Lu Sijian, you've gone too far! Are you deliberately trying to embarrass my grandmother?" He Wenyuan exploded.

Someone quickly tried to smooth things over: "Are you afraid of making a fool of yourself? It's obvious that the sentiment is more important; no one will laugh at you."

"Yes, yes, the old lady wants to hear it, so just coax her."

"The old lady likes you the most; she always talks about you."

Lu Sijian mentally cursed this plot.

[The original plot was supposed to be that I meticulously prepared a violin performance, then used it as an opportunity to make things difficult for Mu Liangyue.]

Lou Xiao has no female elders in his family. Old Mrs. He took care of him, so he only regards Old Mrs. He as his own grandmother, and he also tells me to respect and be close to her.

[Grandma He keeps saying she likes me the most, and as long as I'm obedient, she will indeed help me make things difficult for that "vixen" Mu Liangyue.]

[Then came the scene where Mu Liangyue's erhu playing astounded the audience, captivating several men.]

But why should I obey?

If she disobeyed even slightly, all the blame would be turned against her.

Lu Sijian smiled. "So Fourth Aunt always talks about me? Then why has no one from the He family ever visited me in the hospital?"
