Chapter 151  : His Surname Is Wei?

Wei Lin also paused. He didn’t expect a man to open the door.

He took a step back and glanced at the room number. It was 2819, the right room.

“Did you tell me the wrong room number?” Wei Lin put his hands behind his back and asked Wei Zihang.

Wei Zihang glanced at him lightly as if he was staring at a fool and didn’t speak nor move.

Cheng Mu, who still had his hand on the door handle, returned to his senses and asked, uncertain, “Elder Wei, who are you looking for?”

Lu Zhaoying and Jiang Dongye had just decided to return and hadn’t informed anyone, so Elder Wei shouldn’t know they were here.

In fact...

Elder Wei had no business with them.

“Excuse me, does Qin Ran stay here?” Wei Lin thought for a moment, then turned, bowed his head slightly, and asked politely.

Cheng Mu had anticipated it, but he still nodded in shock.

Wei Lin smiled and seemed to sigh in relief. “Then yes, I came to find her.”

He glanced at the room that seemed to have several people inside and didn’t go in.

Cheng Mu didn’t close the door and just went back with a blank face.

Qin Ran was still eating while facing the glass window. She had one hand resting on the table and her head tilted as if listening to Lu Zhaoying.

“Who is outside?” Lu Zhaoying thought that the waiter had come to deliver dinner, but Cheng Mu came back empty-handed.

“Oh, it’s Teacher Wei.” Cheng Mu looked at Qin Ran and said faintly, “Miss Qin, he’s looking for you.”

Qin Ran’s hand paused when she heard this. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Cheng Mu very calmly. “I know.”

Then, she stood up again and excused herself politely to Lu Zhaoying and the others. She reached out to pull on the collar of her sweater and walked outside before closing the door.

After she left, Jiang Dongye tilted his head curiously. “Cheng Mu, which Teacher Wei are you talking about?”

There were quite a few people with the surname Wei in Beijing, but there was only one man who could be considered a Master.

Jiang Dongye subconsciously removed the Wei family from the list of Qin Ran’s acquaintances.

Lu Zhaoying also leaned back and raised an eyebrow, but he knew his limits and didn’t follow after her. “Is that her relative?”

“Yeah.” Cheng Mu nodded and replied calmly, “It’s Wei Lin, Master Wei, the music master of palace level. I bought his tickets for Chairman Jiang before.”

“Oh.” Lu Zhaoying nodded at Jiang Dongye.

They didn’t say anything.

Lu Zhaoying moved back calmly and took a bottle of water. He twisted the cap and took a sip.

After a minute.

The two of them reacted.

Lu Zhaoying screwed the cap back on the bottle and stared at Cheng Mu expressionlessly. “Who did you just say was here?”

“Master Wei,” Cheng Mu said lightly. “I’ve seen him at the banquet dinner.”

“Wasn’t her relative a showman?” Jiang Dongye put down his phone and almost collapsed.

Cheng Mu nodded and stood beside Cheng Jin. He reminded him considerately, “The one you said could follow you in the future.”

Jiang Dongye was speechless.

**

The entire corridor of the hotel was covered with carpets.

It was very quiet.

“Teacher Wei, long time no see.” Qin Ran stood at the end of the corridor with her eyes downcast. She said rather impatiently, “Didn’t I say I would find you tomorrow? Why did you come here first?”

She had specifically not told him the hotel name.

“It was on the way. There’s a banquet at this hotel, and I thought that you were staying here, so I came to see you on the way,” Wei Lin spoke calmly.

Beside him, Wei Zihang crossed his arms and leaned against the wall of the corridor. He raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

Someone hadn’t slept a wink last night and had nagged to bring him to see Qin Ran.

“Is your hand okay?” Wei Lin looked at her right hand and twitched an eyebrow in worry.

Qin Ran raised her right hand. There was a shallow pink scar on it that was pretty long.

There was also the mark of stitches beside it.

“It was fine long ago.” Qin Ran looked down and relaxed her expression. “It was worth it.”

“Bullshit. I already heard from Zihang. Which bastard is worth exchanging your hand for?” Wei Zihang had been so elegant for years.

It was the first time he cursed with a red face.

He thought for a while before gesturing with his thumb. “He’s only worth this little.”

Qin Ran coughed, then cleared her throat and changed the topic. “Teacher Wei, about the learning...”

“I’m not in a hurry, I’m not in a hurry at all.” Wei Lin waved his hand quickly and calmly. “You can finish watching the concert tomorrow night and then decide if you want to continue learning. I only came to see you on the way today.”

“Okay.” Qin Ran squinted and laughed softly. “Then we’ll talk about it tomorrow night.”

Wei Lin observed Qin Ran’s expression and thought she seemed a little absentminded.

She looked frivolous and undisciplined.

But she hid her emotions well and Wei Lin couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

“Okay.” Master Wei put his hands behind his back unpredictably.

He turned and wanted to bring Wei Zihang away, but he remembered something suddenly and turned around again. “Oh yes, I thought the person who opened your door just now was pretty familiar.”

“It’s my friend.” Qin Ran lowered her eyebrows calmly.

Master Wei nodded and said a few more words to Qin Ran before taking Wei Zihang downstairs.

Qin Ran sent the two of them to the elevator and then returned to her room.

The four people in the room stared at her intently.

Qin Ran sat quietly back on the chair, picked up her chopsticks, and continued to eat. Her eyebrows were drooped and she seemed rather serious.

“No, why was Master Wei looking for you?” Lu Zhaoying threw the bottle of mineral water in his hand on the table.

Besides him, the other three people also didn’t understand it. Why did a master of the palace level come personally to find Qin Ran?

Qin Ran glanced at him lazily. “Something happened.”

Lu Zhaoying nodded without asking further, but he still said faintly, “I didn’t know the showman you were talking about was Master Wei.”

Jiang Dongye, Cheng Mu, and Cheng Jin all stared at Qin Ran.

**

The next day in the evening.

In Beijing’s performance hall.

Qin Yu wasn’t the main performance. She was a solo and only went up to play after an ensemble.

There was another boy in front of her.

This opportunity was extremely rare. After all, all the masters at the palace level were present, especially Wei Lin, who was the master in this aspect.

People who wanted this opportunity were like a school of silver carps moving down a stream.

The organizer only chose Qin Yu and the other boy after listening to all the tapes everyone had sent in.

He had placed Qin Yu behind the boy, which showed Qin Yu’s importance.

Therefore, Lin Wan and the Shen family thought that the result would be as they anticipated.

Qin Yu and Lin Wan stood at the ticket gate, waiting for Lin Jinxuan and Ning Qing.

Lin Jinxuan came with a classmate, and Ning Qing arrived before him.

He greeted Ning Qing and the others politely but frowned when he didn’t see Qin Ran.

“Aunt, didn’t Ran Ran come?” Lin Jinxuan asked in a low voice.

Lin Wan was very happy to see Lin Jinxuan and his classmate, but her smile faded slightly when she heard that. “She didn’t come. Let’s go in first.”

Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised. Lin Jinxuan had only said perfunctorily that he would come last time, so she didn’t expect him to really come. “Brother, where’s Brother Feng?”

“He’s busy.” Lin Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, pursed his lips slightly, and glanced at Ning Qing. “Aunt Ning, do you have any other relatives in Beijing?”

Ning Qing shook her head. “No.”

Lin Jinxuan squeezed his fingers.

He frowned slightly. So Qin Ran was alone in Beijing?

He had called her last night, but she didn’t tell him where she was staying.

But it seemed like Ning Qing didn’t know anything.

Lin Jinxuan pressed his eyebrows and wanted to call Qin Ran, but he had already come to the concert and it was rude not to watch it. Furthermore, he had brought a classmate along.

Lin Jinxuan entered the venue patiently.

Only Xu Yaoguang was left.

“Mom, go ahead with Aunt. There’s still a classmate left, you don’t have to greet him.” Qin Yu hugged her violin and smiled at them.

Lin Wan knew the classmate from Yun Cheng.

She reached out to wrap her shawl around her without much interest and nodded. “Then I’ll go in first.”

Before she could turn around, Qin Yu suddenly froze.

“Mom, isn’t that sister?” She pointed to two people not far away.

Ning Qing was about to head in with Lin Wan. Hearing this, she turned and looked sideways at two young people standing by the door not far away.

One of them was wearing a sweater with the hat pulled over her head. Although half of her face was covered, it was clear who she was, and even her standing posture was a little unruly and casual.

Lin Wan looked up and said mockingly, “Wasn’t she not coming?”

She glanced over and saw a boy in a black jacket beside her, his fresh and handsome face obvious.

He seemed to have a good temperament.

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes and pointed in their direction. “Do you know the guy?”

Wei Zihang was notorious and everyone knew him.

Furthermore, he had said that her violin playing was unpleasant, so Qin Yu answered, “Yeah, it’s Wei Zihang.”

Lin Wan grabbed her shawl tighter and asked in a high pitched voice, “His surname is Wei?”

Wasn’t Master Wei’s surname also Wei?
