Chapter 23: Gu Teng's Child
"I think Zizi went upstairs to look for her mother just now," Gu Peng replied.
On this day, not only did he have to play with Yunbao, but he also had to introduce her to various acquaintances, as well as carry Yunbao's precious carrot.
Even so, he still enjoyed it because he found that Yunbao was very clingy to him, which was a good sign.
"Little Uncle, Yunbao will feed you a piece of cake!"
"It's so delicious. Thank you, Yunbao!"
When the other uncles saw this, they also fought to get Yunbao to feed them.
"Thank you very much for coming to attend Gu Yun's fourth birthday banquet!" Old Master Gu stood on the podium. "The purpose of today's banquet is to introduce Gu Yun to everyone! She is the child of my dearest daughter, Gu Teng. No one can bully her! Next, let the banquet officially begin!"
Everyone cheered and applauded. Many people sighed at Yunbao's good luck. She had suddenly become the little princess of one of the three big families in the capital, making people extremely envious.
At this moment, a path opened up in the crowd, just enough for one person to walk through. The crowd exclaimed.
"Who is this?" The people near the back couldn't see, but also craned their necks curiously
"It's Ji Xing!"
"Ji Xing? The principal of the Capital Conservatory of Music? The pianist who played alone in the Golden Hall at such a young age?"
"That's right! It's him! I heard that when he didn't have money to study, it was Old Master Gu who sponsored him. The two of them can be considered old friends!"
"Is he here to celebrate the birthday of the little princess of the Gu family? She's being given so much face!"
"Yeah!"
…
Chang Li, who was standing in the crowd, was very surprised and pleasantly surprised when she heard the news. She and Ye Yan were distant relatives. She had come to make things difficult for Yunbao because of her family's instructions, but she did not expect to gain something unexpected.
She started learning to play the piano when she was three years old. She joined the national reserve team at the age of five and became an official member at the age of seven. She attended many events
If she could be chosen by Ji Xing to enter the Capital Conservatory of Music, it would be a matter that would bring glory to her ancestors! Unfortunately, if someone wanted to see him normally, they needed to make an appointment. But with their family's relationships, it wasn't enough to even line up!
She squeezed forward through the gaps in the crowd. Her hair was loose, her gown was messy, and one of her shoes had been squeezed off. When she finally squeezed forward, she found that Ji Xing had already entered the Gu family's piano room.
She had no choice but to sit at the door and wait for him to come out.
In the house, a well-maintained piano was placed in the middle. Beside it was a cute girl who was dressed like a little princess. Her big round eyes were blinking at him.
"Ji Xing, you're finally here!" Old Master Gu welcomed him warmly. "It's been a long time! This is tea specially prepared for you, and it's your favorite Tieguanyin!"
"You flatter me. Thank you, Teacher Gu!" Ji Xing waved his hand humbly.
He was really grateful to the Gu family, especially Gu Teng. Back then, he and Gu Teng were taught by the same teacher. Later on, he did not have the money to continue studying. It was Gu Teng who told Old Master Gu about this and Old Master Gu sponsored him.
"Let me introduce you." Old Master Gu pushed Yunbao over. "This child's name is Gu Yun. You can call her Yunbao. She's Gu Teng's child."
Gu Teng's child? Ji Xing sized her up a few more times. She was indeed 70 to 80% similar to Gu Teng, especially her eyes.
In fact, he had always liked Gu Teng. However, he was helpless and self-abased so he gradually distanced himself from her. He only silently protected her and focused on his music career. It was only when he found out that Gu Teng had disappeared that he realized that they had not seen each other for so long.
Ji Xing's eyes reddened.
"Hello, Yunbao. My name is Ji Xing." He squatted down and looked at her at the same level. He did not treat her like a child, but as someone of the same age.
"Hello, Uncle Ji!" Yunbao smiled at Ji Xing generously, looking very cute.
"Ji Xing, I have a request this time. I wonder if you can agree to it," Old Master Gu said. He usually wouldn't ask for anything from others.
"You flatter me. If there's anything, just say it."
"I want you to take our Yunbao as your disciple. Is that okay?"
