Chapter 10 A life where you can close your eyes

"Miss Wu, when I was still calling you Miss Wu, please pay attention to your current identity. Now you are not the heir of the Li consortium, let alone the fiancee of the chief of the Brown family! Cinderella's story only appears in fairy tales, and reality is not a fairy tale! Even if there are so many opportunities, won't you still be beaten back to the prototype? Such a place is not suitable for you. If you don't want to make a fool of yourself, it's better to leave!"

Wu Linger reached out and scratched her head: "But I'm just here. This place feels quite comfortable. I don't want to leave yet! What should I do? Ye Tian, someone wants to drive me away!"

Seeing that Wu Linger was treated so rudely, Ye Tian frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Luo Zhili had stood up: "Uncle, in public, please don't do anything rude!"

"Excuse me? It seems more rude for you, a junior, to dare to teach me a lesson! It seems that the wild seed born by that cheap woman is also cheap! You..." Before Luo Chaocan finished his words, a cup of hot tea had been poured on him, which made him scream, making the already quieter venue quieter. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Luo Chaocang: "What happened?"

The perpetrator was holding a cup and looking at everyone nervously and innocently: "I'm sorry, I was about to stand up when the gentleman rushed over and accidentally poured tea on his clothes. Sir, are you all right? I'm so sorry!"

"Wu Linger, don't be too arrogant!!" Seeing Wu Linger pretending to take out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, Luo Chaocang quickly retreated, but he didn't want to hit another person. He only heard, "Ah!" Then there was the sound of broken porcelain. He turned around and saw a little boy with red lips and white teeth and a pair of bright big eyes falling to the ground, and his beautiful eyebrows frowned gently because of the pain.

"Little flower!" Seeing that her precious son fell down, Wu Linger didn't care about acting. She threw away the teacup and immediately ran to help Xiaohua up: "How's it going? Are you injured? Have you been stabbed?"

Xiaohua hid in Wu Linger's arms like a frightened deer and shook her head: "I'm fine!"

"Good boy! Don't be afraid! With so many people here, he dares not bully us!!" Wu Linger gently coaxed the slightly trembling flowers in her arms, and at the same time made a distressed expression, not to mention how painful it was.

When people who didn't understand what had happened saw Luo Chaocang bullying the lovely sister and brother like this, everyone's faces were more or less dissatisfied. At this time, a gray-haired old man stood up and said, "What's going on?"

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see!" Ye Tian stood up quickly after seeing the old man: "I sat here drinking tea with several friends. Mr. Luo suddenly came over and accused my friend and asked her to leave. When will the person in charge of this cocktail party change to Mr. Luo today?

"Asakura, what's going on?" Hearing that Luo Chaocang was going to drive away his guests, the old man suddenly became unhappy. No matter who the other party is, even if you want to rush, you have to get his consent. What does Luo Chaocang mean by doing this?

Seeing that the old man was unhappy, Luo Chaocang quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood! I didn't mean that. This woman is not qualified to enter this venue at all. She is just an orphan, but a rich relative suddenly recognized her, so she has some identity. It's an insult to Mr. Zhang for such a person to sneak into the venue!! There is also this person who is the descendant of the person expelled by our Luo family. Now he suddenly ran out with my uncle's will to inherit my uncle's property.

"What? Lao Luo is dead?" Obviously, the old man Wu Linger is a person who can't grasp the key points. After hearing Luo Chaocang's words, he looked at Luo Zhili: "What's going on?"

"Grandpa had an accident in Maliaqi... I sent his ashes back to his old house for burial according to his will." In the face of the old man, Luo Zhili looked respectful and polite. Seeing such a child, the old man was not as annoying as Luo Chaocang, but reached out and gently touched Luo Zhili's head: "Are you Lao Luo's grandson? How old are you now? You speak Chinese well!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang, for your praise. I will turn 16 next month!" Luo Zhili suddenly looked up at the old man: "Grandpa Zhang, I know I am not welcomed by the Luo family, but I want to help Grandpa fulfill his last wish anyway."

The old man glanced at Luo Chaocang and nodded with a smile: "Little guy, don't worry! There is always a solution to things!!" After saying that, he looked at Wu Linger: "Forgive my clumsy eyes, who are you, this young lady?"

"Grandpa Zhang, this is my friend!" Zhu Xi, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly appeared beside Wu Linger: "She is a very powerful person! I have known her for several years! He is very kind and talented! That's why I want to bring her here tonight to study hard with Grandpa Zhang! By the way, she has learned Guqin for several years. I heard that Grandpa Zhang is a famous Guqin and has always admired you!!"

The old man smiled as soon as he saw Zhu Xi: "Xiaoxi is coming? Why are you late?"

"I met an acquaintance outside just now, so I said hello to him! Hee, anyway, it's Grandpa Zhang's party. If I'm late, you won't kick me out!" Zhu Qian stood beside Wu Linger with a smile: "Officially introduce to Grandpa Zhang. This is my good friend, named Wu Linger. He is good at drawing and is very good at writing novels!" After saying that, she looked at the old man and said, "Do you remember that I sent a collection of essays with illustrations two years ago?"

After thinking about it, the old man immediately nodded: "That book, I remember. At the beginning, I asked you who the author was, but your girl also told me to keep it a secret, otherwise I was afraid that I would abduct your good friend as an apprentice, so that she could no longer concentrate on writing novels." Although it was a complaint, the old man had a loving expression.

Zhu Xi put her arms around Wu Linger with a smile: "The author of that book is Linger! She also knew that Grandpa Zhang, a famous Guqin, would appear tonight, so she specially pestered me to bring her here!"

"Oh?" After hearing Zhu Xi's introduction, the old man looked at Wu Linger carefully, but found that Wu Linger was praised by Zhu Xi and lowered her head with embarrassment: "Xiaoxi, don't say any more. How can I be as exaggerated as you said?"

However, after finding that what she said seemed to be a little inappropriate, Wu Linger immediately looked up at the old man apologetically: "Hello, Mr. Zhang! Well... what I said just now is not aimed at you! I really admire you, but I'm not as good as Xiao Qian said! Compared with your elders, I have a lot to learn!"

"Wu Linger? If I remember correctly, you are the niece of the chairman of the Li consortium, right? I heard that you refused the position of heir. Why?

After hearing the old man's words, Wu Linger smiled: "I think my life should be decided by myself, not arranged by others. I chose to give up painting and choose to write in the same way. Life is very short, and I want to spend my time on what I want to do and what I want to learn! As for the rest, I don't care much! Mr. Zhang has had this feeling before, right?

Wu Linger's words brightened the old man's eyes slightly and nodded with a smile: "You are very good at talking!"

"I just said what I really thought!" Wu Linger looked at the old man with a smile: "I just want to live a life where I can close my eyes at ease when I am old!"

"A life where you can close your eyes at ease! Not bad!! Hahahaha!! Xiaoxi, you found me a friend who has the right appetite!" After saying that, the old man has taken Wu Linger to the other side of the venue: "Come on, Xiao Qian said that you can play the piano. Play a paragraph for me!!"

It's okay not to play the piano. When it comes to playing the piano, Wu Linger suddenly has a bitter face. She hasn't touched her piano for two or three years. Now if the old man wants her to play the piano, what will she do?

Obviously, Zhu Xi also understood this. She quickly ran over and said, "Grandpa Zhang, Linger has been busy with novels and hasn't played much in recent years. Isn't it difficult for you to ask her to play the piano now?"

"Hey, you don't understand this!!" The old man seemed to have identified Wu Linger today, and regardless of Zhu Xi's opposition, he directly dragged Wu Linger into a piano room. The piano room was not big, but the people who came with Wu Linger and others crowded in. Seeing that there were still people who wanted to come in, the old man waved impatiently: "Okay, you go play with yours!" Don't go in again! It's not like watching monkeys in the zoo!"
