Chapter 62: Playing the Piano

  Sun Tong was so angry that he didn't know what to say in return, looked around and saw the orchestra playing, pointed at the grand piano in the center and said, "I'll play two pieces for everyone, let you see what a real high society looks like!"

  After finishing speaking, he walked over and whispered a few words to the conductor of the band, then sat down in front of the piano.

  The conductor of the band should have listened to his instructions and led the band in a change of tune. Sun Tong and began to play, and the band fully cooperated with him.

  Li Yulan watched Sun Tonghe play the piano, raised an eyebrow, "I didn't expect Sun Tonghe to be able to play the piano too, and he's not bad at it, almost professional level."

  Du Ming just smiled faintly and watched Sun Tong play the piano, without saying anything.

  Sun Tong and Yi played two songs together. The people at the banquet were attracted by him, watching him finish playing and stand up, all applauding to express their admiration.

  "Is this Young Master Sun?"

  "It's him, I didn't expect Young Master Sun to have this skill, playing the piano so well."

  "The Sun family has been doing well lately, it seems that this young master of the Sun family is quite capable, and from these small things, it can be seen that he is quite excellent."

  Sun Tong and listened to people's praise, complacently tidied up his clothes, walked back to Li Yulan's side, "Miss Li, what do you think of my piano playing?"

  Li Yulan didn't want to lie, and said indifferently, "Hmm, not bad, has some skill."

  Du Ming snorted beside him, "Huh? So, this Young Master Sun means that as long as one can play the piano, they're considered high society?"

  Sun Tong angrily said, "You say that, why don't you go up and play then? If you can reach this level, I'll admit you're not a country bumpkin who ran in to freeload."

  Du Ming somewhat disdainfully curled his lips, "It's just this small matter, okay, then I'll let you take a look."

  He walked over to the piano and sat down, saying nothing, and began playing.

  Sun Tong snorted coldly and thought to himself, "You didn't even greet the band, just started playing like that. Who would accompany you? Why show off your strength, it'll only lead to more embarrassment later."

  But Du Ming played extremely smoothly and melodiously, the sound of the piano flowed out like running water.

  The band was initially playing their own songs, but soon the conductor couldn't help but start tapping out the rhythm along with Du Ming's beat, and the entire band began to play in sync with Du Ming's rhythm.

  Du Ming half-closed his eyes, looking very casual as he struck the piano keys, but his hands flew up and down, his fingers moving so fast they were a blur, and the melody that flowed out was extremely pleasant to listen to.

  Everyone was once again attracted by the gaze, looking at Du Ming's performance, and soon they were all amazed.

  "Is he a professional pianist?"

  "Who is this? Is it a musician who was specially invited?"

  "Hey? Isn't he Mr. Du?"

  "Is that the benefactor of the Song family?"

  People were amazed by Du Ming's piano sound, but Du Ming was unmoved and continued to play on his own.

  After finishing a song, Du Ming stopped his hands and glanced at Sun Tong, who was not far away.

  Sun Tong and Zheng stared blankly at him, looking foolish.

  He never thought that this rustic fellow could have such a high level of piano skills! His own performance just now was simply childish in front of him.

  Du Ming suddenly turned his gaze and looked at Yun Cai who was sitting with Song Jinglong on the other side.

  Yun Cai also heard the sound of the guqin and looked over curiously, unexpectedly it was Du Ming, she stared at him in surprise.

  When Du Ming looked over, Yun Cai suddenly realized that she was currently sulking with Du Ming, but just now his performance was really moving, and she couldn't help but get caught up in it.

  Yun Cai glared at him with a huff and turned her head away, refusing to meet his gaze.

  Du Ming smiled faintly and picked up a microphone, saying, "Hello everyone, the next song is one I wrote myself. I'd like to dedicate it to the young lady of the Yun family, Yun Cai."

  Everyone on the scene was stunned and looked at Yun Cai together. Yun Cai also unexpectedly looked at Du Ming.

  Du Ming didn't look at her, but instead played seriously.

  This time his expression was no longer as casual as before, his hands flying over the keyboard, and others couldn't see clearly.

  Du Ming's piece was actually composed by himself, and it was just a moment of inspiration that came to him as he walked towards the piano. The performance everyone heard was uninterrupted, smooth and natural, and sounded good and moving, making everyone think it must be a carefully polished work from a music festival.

  Yun Cai initially wanted to sulk with Du Ming, deliberately turning her head away and not looking at him or listening to his performance. However, it wasn't long before she was captivated by Du Ming's playing, fully immersing herself in the moving melody.

  As the piece came to an end, people were reluctant to part with it, and a long applause broke out in the banquet hall.

  Du Ming looked at Yun Cai and smiled slightly before walking down from the stage.

  Yun Cai had long forgotten about her quarrel with Du Ming, and was moved to tears by the song he specially sent to her. Song Jinglong exclaimed beside her, "Miss Yun, I didn't expect Mr. Du to be so talented, and he's really good to you too."

  Yun Cai's face turned a little red, and she nodded slightly with a hint of shyness, "Du Ming is good at many things, not just this."

  Song Jinglong saw the usual stern and dignified Miss Yun's shy appearance, and smiled, "Then congratulations are in order for Miss Yun, to have met such an excellent person."

  Her face turned even redder, looking a bit shy yet secretly pleased as she nodded, "Mm-hm."

  Du Ming walked over to Sun Tong and said, "Master Sun, who do you think is the rustic among these people? Ah, your performance just now was barely passable, but still far from good. Oh, come to think of it, with your innate talent, being able to reach this level is already quite good, you don't have to force yourself, no need to rely on this to become some 'high society' person."

  Li Yulan couldn't help but laugh at Du Ming's words, "Yes, Young Master Sun, did you hear that? Mr. Du always speaks with great reason, if you can't do something then don't force yourself."

  She finished speaking and laughed sarcastically before turning around and walking away.

  Sun Tonghe looked at Du Ming, speechless.

  Du Ming didn't care if he had anything to say or not, and stopped paying attention to him, walking over to Yun Cai Fa's side.

  Song Jinglong saw Du Ming hastily get up, "Mr. Du, the performance was really great, I didn't expect Mr. Du to be so talented in music too."

  Yuncai's face wasn't as red as it was just now, she sat there smiling and looking at Du Ming.

  Du Ming leaned in close to her and asked, "What? Not angry anymore?"

  "Hmm," Yun Cai pouted, "considering your song isn't bad, I'll forgive you this time! But don't think about neglecting me again to dance with other women!"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "Alright, from now on I'll listen to everything you say, wife."
