Chapter 4

The banquet hall of the Rong family was magnificent and elegant, and there were many beauties and handsome guys filling it. Everyone was standing in a group of twos and threes, drinking the wine in their hands, and talking about investments or gossips of wealthy families.

Lin Liang uninterestedly followed Lin Yi around the party. Although he was not interested in what Lin Yi was talking about with the few bosses around him, he still followed him diligently.

From time to time, he would turn his head to glance over the handsome men and beauties around him, looking for the figure of the male protagonist of the book, Wen Yuqing.

The reason why so many young people came to this banquet was because this banquet was a special matchmaking banquet held by Mrs. Rong for her second son, Rong Yuandong. It was held in order to find a suitable partner for her son, Mrs. Rong sent invitations to almost all the dignified and wealthy families in the capital. From the business world to the political world, as long as there were young people in the family who have not married yet was invited, no one was left behind.

This Rong family's matchmaking banquet, in fact, was the opening chapter of the book. In the original book, Wen Yuqing relied on his excellent looks to get into this banquet. It's just that he was unlucky, and when he met a rival who had long seen him unpleasant, not only was he humiliated in public, but he was also poured by alcohol all over him. It happened that Lin Yi saw the hero save the beauty. And just like that Wen Yuqing started his own revenge plan against his enemy. The original savvy Lin Yi became madly in love and In order to gain the beautie's heart he did everything he can, but In the end, it resulted in his own home getting destroyed.

So in this banquet, Lin Liang must come and attend it, he must think of a way to put this seemingly touching, but in fact ridiculous abusive love, from its source which is this party to death.

On the second floor of the banquet hall, Rong Yuandong elbowed Gu Hengsheng who is next to him, jokingly said: "Today is my mother's matchmaking banquet but I didn't expect that I wouldn't meet anyone who fancy my eyes. Why don't you go look for someone, It is so easy for you to pick someone since they are all dying for you."

Gu Hengsheng ignored him, still staring at Lin Liang who was standing next to Lin Yi downstairs with his eyes unblinking. Rong Yuandong sighed as if he was heart broken by his buddy's relationship problems, "You have been starting at them in this way for along time now, are you not afraid of scaring the children?."

Gu Hengsheng remembered the little guy's whistle at him yesterday! When he remembered the way he was whistling at him him his iceberg face howed a smile, "He will not be scared."

Lin Liang didn't notice Gu Hengsheng on the second floor. He looked for Wen Yuqing in the crowd with all his heart, and suddenly heard a quarrel going on in the east corner of the banquet. Lin Liang followed the sound and finally saw Wen Yuqing in the gap between the crowd.

The handsome men and beauties who attended the banquet all stopped chatting and looked in the direction of the quarrel. some of them unconsciously moved their feet and headed over there among them was Lin Yi who was naturally included.

Lin Liang hurriedly pulled Lin Yi, who was going to watch the fun, he pointed to the small stage in front of the banquet hall and said, "Brother, look there. There's a piano up there, it's been along time since you heard me play the piano, I'll play it for you!"

Lin Yi stared at Lin Liang and furrowed his brows, the last time he heard his brother play the piano was when he was six years old, and he played "Little Star". He didn't want Lin Liang to make a fool of himself in front of so many people, but he was reluctantly dragged under the small stage and became his first audience.

There was a white piano on the small stage. Although it is for decoration, the piano was very clean and its sound quality is first-class.

Lin Liang who was wearing a white suit sat in front of the piano, like a prince, his beautiful fingers pressing on the keys, soothing music flowed from his fingers, and the lingering music flew to the banquet with Lin Liang's elegant playing everyone who was standing in corner of the hall watching the fight, couldn't help but look towards the small stage.

Lin Liang was playing "Canon", it has a repetitive tune with different rhythms that made the music unpredictable and continuous. From soothing to fierce, the difficulty of the performance also climbed as he played it more, when Lin Liang's fingers pressed on the keys, the music rose! The of the song he was playing was interesting and thrilling.

In Lin Liang's previous life, because of his poor health, he was only able to play half of this song. Now that he finally has a healthy body, he couldn't help but show off his skills.

After the song was over, the guests were still not satisfied. Lin Liang looked in the direction where Wen Yuqing and the others were arguing, and found that there was no longer a trace of Wen Yuqing's figure there.

Lin Liang smiled and walked off the stage, Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up excitedly, "When did you become so good at playing the piano?"

Lin Liang winked proudly,"of course you wouldn't know, and that can only blamed on you for being too busy at work and not paying attention to your little brother. You might also not know this! but Your little brother can also play the violin. do you want to listen to it?"

"Yes, yes, yes. My brother is so good, wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't listen to you playing it?"

Lin Liang asked the waiter to get him a violin. He took the violin and walked towards the small stage again, this time everyone applauded when they saw him, along with the sparse applause, Lin Liang put the violin on his neck, and his eyes quickly swept through majority of the banquet hall, but still didn't see a trace of Wen Yuqing.

He didn't quite believe that Wen Yuqing would easily give up such a good opportunity to get close to Lin Yi because of a few insults and a glass of wine splashed on him.

The sad music sounded, and the violin music was like weeping,gentle and poignant. The elegant boy, swept through the strings with his eyes closed, his whole person seemed to be one with the poignant music. It became a perfect picture in Gu Hengsheng's eyes.

Gu Hengsheng shrank his eyes and saw Lin Liang's eyes become sharper. Rong Yuandong, a good buddy standing beside him, saw him like this and shook his head helplessly, so heart breaking.

Only he in the world knows that he seems cold-hearted, and he can scare people making their legs tremble as soon as he gives them a look and one more glance will make them cry and run away, although has reached the age of 28, but so far he has not been in love.

Yes, Gu Hengsheng's emotional world is blank, it is really blank. Even when he was in kindergarten the kids in the kindergarten would take a detour when they see him. When he became an adult at the age of eighteen, he sent his cousin and seven aunts and eight uncles to prison and labor camps. No one has the guts to worry and think about taking his money, unless he thinks his life is too long.

No one really got into Gu Hengsheng's eyes. Over the years, he was like a money-making tool with precise goals and no emotions, leading his soldiers to kill and expand the territory in the business.

Therefore, as Gu Hengsheng's only friend, Rong Yuandong, who stood on the second floor, looked at Lin Liang who was elegantly playing the violin downstairs, and silently lit a circle of candles for him in his heart.
