CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: KID, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

From the moment Song Dabai raised his hand and began playing, to the end of the performance, Lu Jinyan’s mind was filled with this thought.

For years, he had been looking for a piano prodigy like Song Dabai, but had little success. Among all the children he had seen, Song Dabai was the most talented and possessed a strong desire to perform.

Such a talent is rare and valuable.

But before Song Dabai could answer, Song Yinyin blurted out, "You’re not allowed to go!"

"Mommy..." Song Dabai looked up with pleading eyes at Song Yinyin.

But when he saw the warning look in her eyes, Song Dabai pursed his lips in disappointment but obediently said, "Uncle, I won’t go."

Lu Jinyan glanced at Song Yinyin but said nothing.

He once again ruffled Song Dabai’s cheek and said, "Goodbye, little one. We shall meet again."

"Goodbye, uncle."

Song Dabai waved his chubby little hand, the smile still bright on his face.

Watching Song Yinyin and Song Dabai’s retreating figures, a look of regret flickered in Lu Jinyan’s captivating almond eyes.

What a pity indeed.

.........

Holding his mommy’s hand as they left the mall, Song Dabai stopped and looked up at her with confusion.

"Mommy, why can’t I go on stage and perform with that uncle? He plays so well, and Dabai also wants to perform on stage..."

His small lips pursed, looking somewhat aggrieved, a pitiful little appearance.

"We don’t even know that uncle, so why agree to him? What if he’s a big liar? Who knows if the performance he talked about is real."

Though feeling disappointed, Song Dabai obediently nodded his head.

The two of them took the bus back to Imperial City Mansion, and on the street near the complex, they suddenly saw a line of luxury cars parked neatly.

Not that they hadn’t seen luxury cars before, but that line of cars was particularly eye-catching, all the same brand, equally spaced, with a man in black standing by each car door.

This was the kind of scene only seen on television.

Who are these people?

Just as they were feeling puzzled, the door of the leading car was opened by the man in black, and a handsome man walked over.

"Hello, Miss Song."

Looking for her?

Song Yinyin was taken aback, "You are...?"

The man bowed slightly and handed over a business card, "Hello, Miss Song. I am Shen Kang, secretary to Lu Jihan, the president of Mainland Group. Please trouble you and the young master to come with us, Mr. Lu would like to meet you both."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinyin was greatly shocked.

She didn’t know any president of some Mainland Group, why would he want to meet her?

She immediately shook her head, shielding Song Dabai behind her, "I’m sorry, we don’t have time now! Dabai, let’s go."

She took Song Dabai’s hand, intending to detour around Shen Kang’s side.

But Shen Kang made a gesture, and the doors of the row of luxury cars opened, with several men in black rushing out, directly surrounding her and Song Dabai in the middle of the road.

Such a formation was indeed frightening, and the surrounding passersby all scattered away.

Song Dabai was also frightened, his face turning pale as he clung tightly to Song Yinyin’s arm, "Mommy, I’m scared..."

"Dabai, don’t be afraid, mommy is here!"

Heavens knows, when had Song Yinyin ever seen such a scene?

But in front of her son, she must not show any sign of fear; she had to protect Dabai!

"What do you want?!" She put on a stern face, puffed out her chest, and scolded, "Move out of the way! Or I’ll call the police."

Shen Kang said calmly, "Miss Song, there’s no need to be afraid. We mean no harm."

As he spoke, he handed over a file folder, "Please take a look at this first."
