Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108 Such a Play Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108 Such a Play Wu Ningjing had fled.

After speaking of these private matters with Luo Ziling, she could no longer bear to stay by his side. Under the pretense of attending to guests, she had made a hasty escape.

Watching Wu Ningjing’s frantic exit, Luo Ziling shook his head with a bitter smile.

It seemed that the previous generation was even crazier than their own.

Luo Ziling also believed that the more he interacted with these people, the more of the past he would learn, and there would undoubtedly be many shocking revelations.

There were quite a few guests invited to Luo Yuqing’s birthday party, but Luo Ziling only recognized Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli, as well as a few companions around him. He didn’t know the rest. Of course, this excluded the few people he had just met.

Soon, Luo Yuqing reentered the room–it must have been time for the party to commence, and the official program was about to begin.

Indeed, as soon as Luo Yuqing entered, the emcee immediately announced that Ms. Li Yuqing’s twentieth birthday celebration was about to begin.

Luo Ziling finally made his way over to Yang Qingyin, but still, they did not move to the front of the crowd. Instead, they stood in an unobtrusive spot, quietly observing as spectators.

Wu Ningjing, mother of the celebrant, had taken on the role of the real host for the day.

With a choked voice, she shared with the guests the story of Luo Yuqing’s growth.

She expressed her profound gratitude, finally seeing her daughter grow up, and wished for her to be forever healthy and happy.

The hope of this mother was for her daughter to marry a good husband, and to lead a fulfillling life after marriage.

Wu Ningjing spoke with great emotion and practicality, which elicited a warm round of applause from the guests.

Subsequently, Luo Yuqing also took to the stage to give a speech.

She first thanked all the distinguished guests for attending her birthday party and then sincerely expressed her appreciation to her family, especially her mother. After the passing of her father, her mother had faced the challenge of raising them on her own, which was no easy task.

Fortunately, they had grown up and could now share the responsibility of looking after their mother.

Her unpretentious words likewise earned enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Then the emcee took the microphone, informing the guests that Ms. Yuqing had been reluctant to have a birthday party, but her mother, Ms. Wu Ningjing, insisted on holding this celebration with the sole aim of providing her daughter with a beautiful memory and making her feel truly grown-up.

Then Wu Ningjing took the microphone back, speaking in a composed tone to inform the party attendees that Luo Yuqing’s surname was not Li, but Luo, and that she was born before Wu Ningjing had married into the Li Family. Luo Yuqing’s biological father’s surname was Luo, and his whereabouts were currently unknown.

“I hope that one day, Yuqing can reunite with her biological father.”

Indeed, this was the real reason why Wu Ningjing had insisted on organizing the birthday party for Luo Yuqing.

Many people were already aware of this situation, but hearing Wu Ningjing announce it in front of so many left them quite shocked.

Those unaware of the situation were stunned into silence.

Luckily, for the day’s event, Wu Ningjing had not invited other members of the Li Family, as they certainly would not have tolerated such a revelation.

After Wu Ningjing’s statement, there was no commotion among the crowd, just some people’s sighs and astonishment, followed by another round of applause.

Naturally, Luo Yuqing was left dumbfounded, but she now understood the purpose of her mother holding the birthday party for her, and couldn’t help feeling deeply moved.

She still wasn’t sure whose daughter she was.

If she turned out not to be Luo Xusheng’s daughter, then this was all a farce.

But with her mother announcing it in front of so many people, she couldn’t react; she could only respond in silence.

The party was a buffet-style reception, and after some formalities, people were free to eat and drink.

Wu Ningjing, Luo Yuqing, and Li Xiaoqing all came down from the stage, ready to toast the guests.

Before toasting the guests, Luo Yuqing also had a performance prepared for the audience.

After apologetically addressing the guests, Luo Yuqing slipped backstage. Shortly after, she emerged holding a Guqin, greeted the audience, sat down with crossed legs on the stage, and began plucking the strings.

Soon, the room fell silent, and the sound of the Guqin started trickling through the air.

Luo Ziling quickly recognized it as the famous ancient tune “Yangguan Sandie.”

As she played, Luo Yuqing began to sing,

“When the Pure Brightness festivity meets spring, Wei City’s morning rain dampens the light dust; the inn’s greenery teems with fresh willow hues. I urge you to drink another cup of wine, for there’ll be no old friends once you leave through Sunshine Group’s gate. Through frost nights and frosty dawns, I hurry on, over the long roads crossing through gates and fords. Grieving over this toilsome life, I’ve tasted hardship, tasted hardship, endured endless bitter ordeals; it behooves one to cherish oneself, cherish oneself.”

Hearing Luo Yuqing’s Guqin and her singing, Luo Ziling was stunned.

He would have never imagined that such a sunny, modern girl could play the Guqin so beautifully.

Had it been Yang Qingyin, he wouldn’t have been surprised; classical grace was intrinsic to girls like Yang Qingyin, so mastering ancient music like this was expected.

But Luo Yuqing had never shown much of a classical vibe, except during the spontaneous poetry face-off with Yang Qingyin in the snow. It was unexpected that her Guqin skills and singing were so exquisite.

Lost in the music, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but glance at Yang Qingyin standing beside him, only to see her lips curl in disdain.

Luo Ziling didn’t know if Yang Qingyin disdained his enraptured state or disdained Luo Yuqing’s playing, or perhaps both.

After Luo Yuqing finished her song, she stood up with the Guqin in her arms, looked towards Luo Ziling, curtsied, and said sincerely, “Ziling, I’ve heard that you understand ancient music. Today is my birthday, would you please play and sing a Guqin piece for me as a blessing?”

Luo Ziling was dumbfounded and felt the sharp glance from Yang Qingyin.

Feeling somewhat awkward and seeing nearly all eyes in the room on him, he grew even more embarrassed.

Yet, he couldn’t disappoint Luo Yuqing, so he braced himself to stand up, “Thank you for the honor, senior sister; I will humbly play a piece.”

As he walked onto the stage, ready to perform, Luo Ziling saw the look of concern from Wu Ningjing and could only offer her a wry smile in return. Taking the stage, he smiled at Luo Yuqing, then took the Guqin from her, bowed to her and the audience, and said,

“Today, I will play the remaining two sections of ‘Yangguan Sandie’ for everyone, also as a birthday tribute to Miss Yuqing.”

Saying this, he bowed again, then sat down gracefully and began to pluck the strings of the Guqin.

Seeing Luo Yuqing playing the Guqin left Cao Jianhui, Wu Longjiang, and Li Fuming dumbstruck.

They were even more wide-eyed when Luo Yuqing invited Luo Ziling to play a piece.

They could hardly believe that their boss could also play the Guqin; it was a jaw-dropping revelation.

The only one not surprised was Yang Qingyin; she knew Luo Ziling’s classical artistry was no less than her own.

Yet, she was not pleased with Luo Ziling’s versatility. She understood the hidden motives behind Luo Yuqing inviting him to play; hence, she felt nothing but vexation.
