Chapter 231: b.a.s.t.a.r.d
Gu Weiwei’s hands that held the knife and fork shook slightly. However, a peaceful smile still hovered over her face.
“It seems that Mr. Gu did not actually invite me to dinner, but instead brought me here to play the piano.”
Gu Siting pointed at the cla.s.sical piano not so far away and said, “Liebestraume by Franz Liszt.”
“Can we choose another song, this is one that I don’t play very well.”
It was a song that she used to play for him when they were together… but now, even though he was with Ling Yan, he was still asking her to play this song for them.
“The music score is on the piano.”
Holding his winegla.s.s in his hand, Gu Siting waited for her to start.
Ling Yan glanced at Gu Siting and said, “Brother Siting, that piano…”
That piano was something he had never allowed anyone to touch before and he would always dust it himself.
Gu Siting took a glance at the red wine in his gla.s.s and said calmly, “I haven’t heard the sound of piano for a very long time, in this house.”
Ling Yan’s expression changed, as she picked up her gla.s.s and took a sip.
Gu Weiwei was the only one who played the piano in the house before.
He had removed everything of hers when she was gone, except for this piano.
Gu Weiwei put down her knife and fork and was about to get up when Fu s.h.i.+yi grabbed her arm.
“Don’t play anything for him!”
She had not played anything for his brother, so why must she play something for this man?
d.a.m.n the Liebestraume, just let him carry on daydreaming!
“We will leave after I finish playing.”
Having said this, Gu Weiwei stood up and walked towards the white piano that she was so familiar with.
She opened the music score, tried a little of the melody to warm up and started to play the song.
The first section of Liebestraume was sweet and soft, romantic and full of love whilst the second section had an intensive melody, active and exciting; just like how the maiden felt when confessing to her lover. The third section was full of lingering dreams.
It was a song about how one person confessed his love to the other, and she had played it numerous times to Gu Siting, but this time, she was feeling something different.
Ling Yan watched the girl, who had started to play the piano, sitting there and heard the familiar melody echoing across the room.
She watched and seemed to have caught a glimpse of an outline, of that girl she knew so well, again.
Then the hand that held her gla.s.s shook and the winegla.s.s slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Gu Siting glanced sideways and said, “What is it?”
With her hands over her heart, Ling Yan said with a pale face, “My heart aches a little… Maybe it is because I am thinking of Weiwei.”
Feeling nervous, Gu Siting helped her up and said, “Butler, call the doctor.”
A touch of mockery flashed across Gu Weiwei’s eyes as she stopped playing.
She had dug out her heart, so of course she was feeling unwell whilst she watched her play the song she used to play.
“Mr. Gu, it is quite late, can we leave now?”
Gu Siting asked the butler to help Ling Yan upstairs and sized up Gu Weiwei discreetly.
“So Miss. Mu is not thinking about coming to our company?”
“No.” Gu Weiwei said coldly.
She was not sure what he wanted from her but he already had Ling Yan. Was he still looking for a subst.i.tute for Gu Weiwei?
Gu Siting, you are such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
Without asking further, Gu Siting said, “If you ever change your mind, contact us anytime you want.”
Fu s.h.i.+yi rolled his eyes. With his brother present, this man was never going to have his dream realized.
Gu Weiwei smiled and said nothing in return.
“See them off.”
Gu Siting then turned away and went upstairs to check on Ling Yan.
Kuroda s.h.i.+o came and opened the door for them.
“Please, Miss. Mu.”
Gu Weiwei stepped out of the Gu Family household and threw a look at the room on the second floor, whilst she was in the car.
The room that used to belong to her was now where Ling Yan resides.
She had a bad habit – she did not like it when someone else touched her things.
Therefore, the man that had been touched by Ling Yan, was not someone she would cherish any more.
