Chapter 535 - Chapter 535 Chapter 535 Setting the Trap (2)

Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Setting the Trap (2) Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Setting the Trap (2) Lu Jingzhi looked at Lu Zhanxing, who was talking with Qiao Yun, with eyes filled with envy and jealousy, and couldn’t help feeling a bit downcast.

After the meal, Lu Zhanxing said to everyone, “There’s a classical music concert next week, and I’ll be performing the violin on stage. Do you want to come along? It’s been a while since our family had an outing together.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mian curiously asked, “Why are you suddenly going to perform the violin?”

Lu Zhanxing was very gifted in music and had won many violin competitions in the past. Su Mian thought he was going to continue down the path of an artist, but then he turned to acting.

“The violinist in my friend group got injured and can’t perform, and since I had some free time, I decided to step in for my friend,” he replied.

Su Mian turned to ask Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, are you going? You haven’t seen your brother play the violin, have you?”

“Okay.” Qiao Yun indeed had never seen Lu Zhanxing play the violin, so she agreed to go.

If Su Mian was going, Lu Rui naturally had no objections.

Before Lu Jingzhi could speak, Lu Zhanxing said very considerately, “Big brother, you don’t have to say anything, I know you’re not coming.”

Lu Jingzhi, with an expressionless face, said, “What, am I not part of your family?”

Lu Zhanxing: “Ah?”

“Since we are family, of course I should go,” Lu Jingzhi said seriously.

Lu Zhanxing muttered, “You clearly aren’t interested in these kinds of concerts, but you’re making it seem like I’m excluding you.”

Lu Jingzhi glanced at Qiao Yun, coughed lightly, and then looked away.

This is because his sister was going too…

“Right.” Lu Zhanxing said seriously to Qiao Yun, “Sister, we have just enough tickets for our family, no extras.”

Qiao Yun tilted her head slightly: ??

Why is he telling her this?

Lu Zhanxing remembered how Qiao Yun had brought Li Hanzhou to the last movie premiere, and this time he was determined not to give Li Hanzhou any opportunities.

In fact, since the last end-of-term celebration party, Qiao Yun hadn’t seen Li Hanzhou, who was busy handling some issues for the Li Family.

The incident where Lu Zhanxing was followed while going to the Shengqiao Hospital for a check-up was orchestrated by pests from the Li Family; Li Hanzhou naturally would not let these pests continue to be a nuisance.

…

Before they knew it, the day of the concert arrived.

The concert was held in the auditorium, and the seats for the Lu Family were excellent, directly facing the direction where Lu Zhanxing was performing.

This was a position specially chosen by Lu Zhanxing; he had a little ulterior motive.

He wanted his sister to see a different side of him.

Because Lu Zhanxing was involved, there was a significant stir in the audience, and even some of his fangirls couldn’t contain their surprise and exclaimed out loud.

Lu Zhanxing’s participation in this concert was kept secret, and his fans had no idea about his schedule this time.

When the concert officially began, the topic #LuZhanxingViolinPrince# shot to the top of the trending searches.

Fans who received the news rushed over, but since they didn’t have tickets, they could only wait outside.

Inside the venue, Qiao Yun listened to the performance with a serious and focused expression.

Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi thought Qiao Yun was interested in this kind of event and had already decided to give her more concert tickets in the future.

Qiao Yun wasn’t interested and even felt it was a bit of a waste of time; after all, she was only interested in machinery and couldn’t appreciate music.

Professor Qiao was just that straightforward.

However, watching Lu Zhanxing perform with poise, looking like a little prince playing the violin, she found it hard to look away.

It felt like he was glowing.

The concert concluded very successfully.

Afterwards, the Lu Family went backstage to find Lu Zhanxing.

Lu Zhanxing, with a look seeking praise, asked Qiao Yun, “Sister, was your brother handsome?”

“Handsome.” Qiao Yun complimented him generously.

Lu Zhanxing immediately smiled, “Then should your brother play for you at home next time?”

“Mm.” Qiao Yun nodded her head.

Lu Jingzhi watched with a heavy heart.

Su Mian teased, “Just playing the violin for your sister? Don’t we get a turn?”

“Mom,” Lu Zhanxing said with a hint of speechlessness, “you already know how to play the violin, why do you need to listen to me do it.”

Su Mian glared at him, “Excuses.”

Lu Zhanxing touched his nose.

Qiao Yun’s gaze fell on Su Mian, seemingly tinged with faint curiosity.

Su Mian explained, “Mom hasn’t touched the violin for a long time, but if my precious daughter likes it, I can play it for you.”

Su Mian used to be a violinist, quite a famous one at that, but she settled down to be a housewife after an accident injured her hand.

Lu Zhanxing’s musical talent was inherited from Su Mian.

Qiao Yun pondered, “You like the violin?”

“Of course,” Su Mian admitted without denial.

Qiao Yun nodded in understanding, “I see.”

Her gaze landed on Su Mian’s hand.

If Su Mian didn’t mind, she could get a mechanical hand just like Pei Ya’s.

Then, not to mention playing the violin, even splitting bricks barehanded wouldn’t be a problem.

Su Mian: ?? For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit anxious.

Lu Jingzhi looked at the clean-faced Qiao Yun, her chin buried in her high-collared sweater, her big black eyes beautiful, and her fluffy hair spreading out, making her resemble a cute doll.

He drifted off slightly, wondering if it wasn’t too late to start learning the violin now?

The event ended with a celebration banquet, but Lu Zhanxing declined, wanting to celebrate with his family instead.

They hadn’t realized until they stepped outside the concert hall just how many fans had gathered.

Lu Zhanxing was startled, “Damn, what’s going on?”

“Second brother, are these all your fans?” Su Mian exclaimed in surprise.

It was the first time she grasped just how popular Lu Zhanxing really was.

“Let’s take the back door,” Lu Zhanxing said helplessly.

If it had been any other time, he might have gone out to greet them, but it wasn’t convenient with his family there.

The group turned, intending to head for the back exit.

Just then, Su Mian spotted a familiar face, her expression freezing at once.

It was Ye Miaoshan.

If it had been just her, it wouldn’t have mattered, but accompanying Ye Miaoshan was an unfamiliar man.

Su Mian grabbed Lu Rui, asking uncertainly, “Old Lu, look, isn’t that Ye Miaoshan?”

Lu Rui squinted and confirmed, “Indeed it is her.”

“Who is the man with her? Did Ye Miaoshan come to the concert with him? She’s in the mood for a concert?” Su Mian’s face showed slight astonishment.

Lu Rui was also puzzled, “Who cares, let’s ignore her.”

Su Mian reined in her curiosity, she had no desire to see Ye Miaoshan now, until she saw the man raise his hand to tidy up a stray lock of hair on Ye Miaoshan’s cheek, which Ye Miaoshan didn’t refuse and even seemed somewhat shy.

Su Mian was utterly dumbfounded.

This, wasn’t right, was it?

Lu Jingzhi’s eyes darkened as he glanced at Ye Miaoshan, then swiftly withdrew his gaze.

Once in the car, Su Mian thought more and more that something was off.

It looked like her brother’s head was getting a little greener!

But it was just one gesture, which couldn’t mean much, and Su Mian didn’t want to get involved with the Su Family affairs right now.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, she nonetheless contacted Su Fan in the end, asking tentatively, “Has Ye Miaoshan been bothering you recently?”
