Chapter 90: Deep Emotions, Profound Rain + Water Clouds Interspersed World

  Lu Mengping was forced to grow up, although this growth is limited. She no longer laughs as carelessly as before, but often furrows her brow slightly. Of course, due to the limitations of her experience and age, she wouldn't be thinking about major things like reviving the Lu family.

  She is just a daughter of the Lu family and will get married sooner or later. At most, she will have some dowry. The Lu family belongs to two brothers, Lu Yu Hao and Lu Er Jie.

  But before she got married, she was Lu Mengping, and everything in the Lu family was related to her.

  She couldn't bear scrutiny as the daughter of the Lu family. Even if Wang Xueqin had driven that Fu Wenpei out of the Lu mansion, from a legal standpoint, Wang Xueqin was still Lu Zhenhua's ninth concubine, not his wife. Moreover, Wang Xueqin had never hidden her background as an actress, and although there were no longer any distinctions between high and low social classes, families with some refinement still attached great importance to this identity.

  She is Lu Mengping, the illegitimate daughter of the declining Lu family in Northeast China, and also a small wife born to an actress, which basically cut off her hope of finding a good husband.

  After all, men as silly as He Shuhuan are still rare.

  Lu Mengping sat on the side, coldly watching Lu Ruping smile warmly at He Shuhuan, completely ignoring Du Fei who was trying to curry favor with her. At first, she also thought it was an honor for Lu Yihao to be one of the three swordsmen of Shenbao, but after Gu Qiu's guidance, she understood what position they actually held in Shenbao.

  The truly important current events reports didn't even have their share, but instead they spent all day interviewing the cat of some elderly person or something like that. The best thing the three of them did was interview Qin Wuyi from Shanghai, but according to Gu Qiu, they reported on things they shouldn't have, and the editor-in-chief of Shen Bao had to go to Qin's house to apologize.

  These three people were able to stay at Shen Bao despite making so many mistakes, only because of He Shuhuan's identity as the son of a diplomat. Although the Lu family was not as prosperous as in Northeast China, they were still better off than Shen Bao. Therefore, Du Fei was able to stay on only because of his two friends; however, if he continued to squander this job and something went wrong with He Shuhuan or Lu Erhao, he would have no choice but to go home and rely on himself.

  However, it was less than a month after entering Zhong Xi Girls' School that Lu Mengping felt out of place with the Lu family. If it were her in the past, she would definitely hear about Lu Yu Hao and Lu Ru Ping wanting to go out and play, and she would clamor to follow them together. But today, she was dragged out by her brother and sister.

  With a sense of crisis, Lu Mengping can no longer return to the innocent and beautiful girlhood like Lu Ruping.

  Bored and listless, Lu Mengping watched the scene unfold before her eyes, feeling increasingly annoyed. Just then, someone suddenly called out her name.

  "Lu Mengping, you're here too?"

  Turning her head, she saw that it was Bai Feifei, who was dressed fashionably and sitting in the aisle next to her. She was also a classmate of Lu Mengping's previous school, but their relationship was just ordinary. And at Zhongxi Girls' School, their relationship had even dropped to freezing point, not for anything else, but because of that Murong teacher.

  Lu Mengping thought that Murong teacher was just so-so, nothing good about him, while Bai Feifei was a die-hard fan of Murong teacher. The mind of a young girl is really mysterious, the two were almost like sworn enemies. So when Bai Feifei greeted her, it really surprised Lu Mengping.

  She nodded and glanced at the four people not far away: "Mm, I'm here with family and friends to have some fun."

  "Perfect!" White Feifei pulled her arm and ran to the side, directly ignoring her resistance. "You always say something about Mu Rong teacher, today he happens to have a performance nearby, consider yourself lucky. You know those foreigners in the concession area are almost fighting for a ticket, but our students from Zhong Xi Girls' School can enter with just their student ID."

  "I didn't bring my student ID..." Lu Mengping's voice was too soft and was directly ignored by Bai Feifei.

  At this time, Lu Ruo Hao finally discovered that his little sister had been taken away and hurriedly pulled up the three people who were performing a love triangle on one side to chase after them. Fortunately, Bai Fei Fei was recognizable even from behind, so the four of them were just a bit anxious but not too worried.

  When they arrived at the square in the park, they found that it was usually open to the outside world, but today it was blocked. Bai Feifei pulled Lu Mengping to show something to the guard, who checked carefully before letting them in.

  Lu Yu Hao and the other three were blocked outside. Du Fei directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "Just now, those two girls went in, why can't we?"

  The guard looked him up and down before saying indifferently, "Those two girls just now were students from Zhong Xi Girls' School. There's a performance here today, and only female students from Zhong Xi Girls' School with student IDs can enter for free; everyone else needs to show their tickets." He nodded his head towards another passageway where four foreigners were waiting to enter with their tickets in hand.

  Du Fei wanted to say something, but He Shuhuan noticed the blush on Lu Ruping's face and hastily pulled Du Fei's sleeve to stop his impulse. At the same time, he quietly handed a few banknotes to the guard. "Excuse me, sir, what's the performance here? Why isn't it in the theater, but instead in this park square?"

  He Xuehuan's politeness and tact made the guard feel much more at ease, and after putting the banknotes in his pocket, he said slowly: "Who knows what those rich artists are thinking? They just want to hold a concert here, can we stop them?"

  Eyes lit up, He Shuhuan thought he had found a good news lead: "Sir, may I ask who is holding a concert here and why so many foreigners have come to watch? Which foreign artist is performing?"

  He glanced at the four people's attire and suddenly felt that he was not bad either. Although his family conditions were not good, he had more experience than these rich people who knew nothing. "What is this foreign artist, does Mu Rong Ya Ge know?"

  Murong Yage

  None of the four knew much about music, so they might not know who Murong Yage was. However, Lu Ruping had heard the name a few times from Lu Mengping's mouth. "I've heard Mengping say that her class teacher was named like this. Could it be?"

  Is Mengping's homeroom teacher also an internationally renowned artist? That's unlikely...

  "Is the Mengping you mentioned a freshman at Zhong Xi Girls' School this year?" The guard, who had previously been calm and collected, suddenly became chatty. "That Master Murong is now officially teaching at Zhong Xi Girls' School. He's a musician from the European classical music scene who is highly sought after. I've heard that several countries have invited him to join their nationality, but Master Murong has refused those invitations, taking pride in being Chinese."

  Finally able to put to use the things that were previously given by the team leader just for show, the guardian has a kind of proud and relieved feeling.

  "Murong Yage..." He Shuhuan furrowed his brow in deep thought, "Sir, is that master's English name Raphael?"

  His background is different from that of the Lu family, and he is also a journalist, so he knows some things. There is a famous classical music master in the world who is said to be from China. At that time, what he heard was not the Chinese name of the master but the English name.

  "It seems to be the name you mentioned." The guard scratched his head, looking troubled. "I heard that listening to his music is like receiving a baptism, which is why he has such an English name."

  He Xing became excited, he didn't expect that just going to the park with Lu Yu Hao and his two sisters would also lead to encountering this explosive news. Fortunately, he had brought his press pass when he went out today, or else he would have missed this big scoop for several years.

  He pulled out his press card and smiled at the guard, saying: "Sir, I'm a reporter for Shen Bao. Can you let me through to interview Master Murong?"

  After carefully examining his press card, the guard said: "You're also a reporter from Shen Bao? It seems that one of your newspaper's editors has already gone in, so I'm afraid we can't let you in. Sorry about that. However, you can find a spot outside and listen to Master Murong's music, even if you can't see him."

  It was said that the person from Shenbao had arrived, and He Shuhuan's eyes flashed with something, but he still maintained his elegant smile. After thanking the guard, he sat down on a patch of grass near the square with the other three people.

  The three people who heard his conversation with the guard naturally knew what had happened. Lu Ruping keenly sensed He Shuhuan's unhappiness and smiled, saying: "Now I'm actually envious of Mengping. If I were to graduate a year later, wouldn't I also be able to get in for free? I've been practicing piano too, and today I missed an opportunity to get close to the master. What a pity."

  She thought that by saying so, He Shu Huan would come to comfort her, and she wouldn't be unhappy about not being able to interview him anymore. However, He Shu Huan, although having a good impression of her, hadn't reached the level she had imagined, and such words only made him even more silent.

  The editor-in-chief knew that there was a concert here today, but didn't send the three of them. Was it because they had recently... caused too much trouble? With a subtle glance, he swept his eyes over Du Fei, who was smiling foolishly at Lu Ruping, and then looked at Lu Erhao, who refused to sit down and stood aside with his hands in his pockets. He frowned slightly.

  Perhaps he shouldn't be so close to them anymore?

  At first, they became friends because they were in the same dormitory at Fudan University. Since graduating from university and entering Shendao together, they have continued to retain the title of "Three Swordsmen", but their salary has been the lowest for several years, and he still has to rely on his parents in Nanjing to send him money.

  Perhaps he should consider changing?

  But this idea was immediately and completely dispelled after seeing the admiring and worshiping eyes of Lu Ping.

  If he hadn't been estranged from Lu Yu Hao, he wouldn't have been able to get close to this girl so easily. As a top student in the Chinese department of St. John's University with a decent family background and deep feelings for him, he couldn't find a reason to refuse this girl.

  On the other hand, in a temporary backstage, Murong Yage sat slowly tasting tea next to an ancient zither. At first, when he was abroad, he only learned piano because of his reputation as a musician, so he could do some things. Music is universal, and with his deep attainments in traditional music, after putting in some effort on Western instruments, he became a master of classical music.

  After those people in Europe recognized his identity as a music master, he no longer had much contact with Western instruments. As a Huaxia person, it is natural to use Huaxia music to influence and educate these foreigners!

  Of course, the music of the second son of the carefree sect is naturally needless to say, Murong Yage conquered the whole of Europe with the guqin!

  And this time, a guqin concert was held in the park square. He knew from the plot that Lu Mengping would follow his brother and sister, as well as He Shuhuan and Du Fei, to come here for sightseeing, but there were also other more important reasons.

  Murong Yage has always liked beautiful things like shooting two or even three birds with one arrow.

  This chapter is very YY, but Tuber thinks that our classical music is much better than those in the West!

  Cough cough, those who like Western classical music can just consider this a potato-like outburst of youthful angst.

  This concert, Ya Ge not only wants to seduce Meng Ping, but also has other things to do. Even if he can't change history, there are some things he will still try his best to do.
