After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Is She Crazy?

Lu Sheng had known all along that Lu Qianrou was behind her.

When Lu Jingyan had hugged her just now, she had heard a gasp not far away.

So she took the opportunity to bury herself into Lu Jingyan's arms, allowing her guilt-ridden elder brother to hold her tighter, showing a deep sibling bond.

Now she met Lu Qianrou's gaze and blinked innocently, "Sister, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be preparing for your piano performance?"

Lu Qianrou was really grinding her teeth in anger.

She had specifically come to find her elder brother, planning to ask him to sit in the front row for the performance, only to see him embracing Lu Sheng upon her arrival.

How could this be!

She had lived with the Lu Family for so many years, and the number of times her brother had hugged her could be counted on one hand. Yet, this Lu Sheng, who had been here for less than two days, had already been hugged by him twice.

Furthermore, her brother had even given her a one million card for pocket money, a treatment she had never received.

This despicable Lu Sheng was really too scheming.

Pretending to be pitiful to win over the brother's sympathy, and indeed her brother had softened his heart.

Has he forgotten? This Lu Sheng, a private daughter raised in the countryside, was just the result of Lu Chengye's affair?

"Qianrou?" Lu Jingyan, hearing the movement, turned his head towards Lu Qianrou.

And Lu Qianrou also instantly reverted to her usual gentle and quiet demeanor.

"Big brother, my piano performance is about to start, I want you to come and watch it in the front row," Lu Qianrou came over and took Lu Jingyan's hand, coquettishly speaking.

"You've been to so many concerts, when have you not performed effortlessly, needing big brother to cheer for you?" Lu Jingyan stroked Lu Qianrou's head.

"Of course," Lu Qianrou said obediently, then looked at Lu Sheng, "Sister, come to the front row as well, with brother and sister there, I'll surely perform even better."

"Alright, let's head over," Lu Jingyan didn't think much and nodded.

The three of them walked in the venue, attracting many gazes.

It is widely recognized in the upper circles of Jiang City that members of the Lu Family are good-looking, and Lu Qianrou had always been the center of attention in such scenarios.

However, today all eyes were drawn to Lu Sheng beside her.

Feeling this, Lu Qianrou clenched her fists secretly and put on a shallow smile, "Then I'll go on stage first, big brother and sister listen carefully, okay."

The garden of the Fu Family's mansion was vast, and the fountain pond was surrounded by meticulously arranged precious flowers and plants.

On the stage especially meant for outdoor banquets, a sleek black grand piano was already set up.

The guests attending the banquet all gathered around, and once the host finished speaking, Lu Qianrou picked up her dress and walked onto the stage gracefully.

"Thanks to Uncle Fu's invitation, I have the honor to perform the opening for tonight's banquet. I hope everyone will enjoy the piece I play."

Lu Qianrou gently smiled, bowed slightly to the audience below, presenting herself as the dignified and proper image of a rich young lady, eliciting a round of applause from everyone.

Jiang Ting and other ladies sat at the banquet's tea break area, looking at Lu Qianrou on stage with pleased eyes.

This was the daughter she had personally raised—whether in terms of appearance, temperament, or talent and ability, all of them were top-notch.

Not at all like that vexen's daughter Du Ran had, who besides having a cunning face was good for nothing, exuding a cheap country aura in everything she wore.

Jiang Ting glanced at Lu Sheng, who was staring at the stage, and snorted coldly.

Lu Qianrou took her seat in front of the piano, and instantly all the lights in the hall focused on her.

She took a deep breath, delicately placing her well-maintained slender hands on the piano keys.

This piece was called "The sea," its Chinese translation named after "Listening to the Sea," a classic work by the foreign piano maestro Gatsby.

Lu Jingyan was startled, while Lu Qianrou secretly smirked to herself.

She was brilliant to come up with such a plan to inform Fu Chen.

Someone like Lu Sheng, who grew up in the countryside, couldn't possibly have access to such a sophisticated instrument as a piano, and probably doesn't even know how many keys a piano has.

Now that the host announced her piano performance in public, if she panicked, hesitated, and refused to go up, she would embarrass herself.

If she was forced to go up and played a mess, it would only lead to ridicule from everyone, especially after her own stellar performance, she would look like a clown.

Publicly messing up like this, even if she dressed beautifully today, these business elites wouldn't want to look at her again.

And Grandpa Fu would definitely not want someone so unfit for public appearances as his most beloved grandson's fiancée; he would surely take initiative to call off the engagement.

It was a perfect move.

Thinking about it, Lu Qianrou felt extremely excited and couldn't wait to see Lu Sheng's dumbfounded, panicky expression.

However, as she cast her gaze in that direction, she was taken aback.

All eyes were on Lu Sheng, waiting for her response, but Lu Sheng showed no sign of panic.

The girl merely smiled lightly and nodded in response: "Okay."

The next second, Lu Sheng lifted her skirt and walked towards the stage under everyone's watchful eyes.

Her exposed back was slender and beautiful, the fine crisscross straps slightly sensual. The oversized bow tie seemed adorned with numerous stars, shimmering with every step.

Even just her back view was captivating.

Even Li Muchen, sitting in a wheelchair in the corner, held his breath for a second.

Lu Qianrou's eyes widened—wait! Was Lu Sheng really going on stage? Had she gone mad?!
