Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 57 My Identity is First Revealed
Su Ruoyun came to Xiangshan Yayuan just to freeload a meal. She wanted to eat with Su Jiayi and Su Mingyan, but eating alone would be rather boring.

The gathering was to be held at a private club, which was members-only and not open to the public. A pair of stone lion statues stood solemnly at the entrance, and security was tight. Checks were required at both the entrance and exit, and only members were allowed to enter.

The three siblings got out of the car, and the driver drove the Maybach to the parking lot. As soon as they entered the main building of the club, a waiter standing in the lobby respectfully led the three to a private room.

Upon entering, you'll find a large round table in the spacious private room, along with various entertainment facilities such as card tables and pool tables in the distance.

Lin Shangqing, the second son of the Lin family, is known for his good relationships in the industry. The private room was packed with people celebrating his birthday, including both men and women.

Those who are qualified can sit on the sofa; those who are not qualified can only stand scattered and wait on the side.

The dazzling crystal chandelier cast a soft glow, the gauze curtains swayed in the breeze, and the wall lamps emitted a warm yellow light. All around, the air was filled with the fragrance of clothes, the graceful figures of women, and the sounds of revelry.

Seeing that the evergreen bachelor in the circle had brought a woman, the young men quickly pushed aside their female companions, craning their necks to peer inside, and began to speculate about the man.

The girl had delicate and pretty features, with thin, upturned eyebrows, clear almond-shaped eyes, and a touch of allure amidst her cool and aloof appearance.

People who initially didn't believe the rumors suddenly started to believe them too.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Su Ruoyun, Su Mingyan spoke up and introduced her to the people present: "My sister."

The rumors from the outside world had already taken root in people's hearts. Those present exchanged knowing glances with each other. In their minds, whether she was a god-sister or a love-sister, she was always introduced as a sister. The subtle relationship was self-evident.

Only a few people who knew the 'truth' rushed forward. Lin Shangqing pushed aside Su Jiayi and Su Mingyan, who were standing next to Su Ruojun, and put his arm around her. "So it's my sister who's here. No wonder the room suddenly became so bright. It's truly a sight to behold."

His actions were intimate but not affectionate, with precise control of the boundaries. He simply placed his hand on Su Ruojun's shoulder, letting it hang naturally.

Su Ruoyun turned her head and smiled: "Happy birthday, Second Brother Lin."

"With my sister wishing me a happy birthday, I feel that this year of my life has not been in vain."

As he spoke, Lin Shangqing shoved the people off the sofa and let Su Ruoyun sit in the center. He raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying, "It's your second brother's birthday today. Eat and drink well. If you want any kind of wine, put it on your second brother's tab."

Those around Lin Shangqing were confused as to who she was putting on this show of fawning over. If it was Su Mingyan, that was a bit much…

Meanwhile, Su Mingyan had already strode over to the sofa, sat down next to Su Ruoyun, crossed his long legs, and slowly began to speak: "Still calling yourself Second Brother? What, are you planning to go to the police station tomorrow to change your surname to Su?"

Su Jiayi chimed in, "That's right, Second Brother Lin is trying to push me into the fourth position."

Lin Shangqing: "I would like to change it, but my second uncle might not let me."

Lin Shangqing's second maternal uncle works for the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

As he spoke, Lin Shangqing picked up a bottle of red wine from the coffee table, then casually picked up a wine glass and poured the crimson wine into it with a 'glug glug'. The wine was then handed to Su Ruojun.

"Hey, little sister."

Su Ruoyun smiled and thanked her, then held the slender cup by the stem and took a small sip.

Lin Shangqing then called over a waiter and had several fruit platters served.

The scandal didn't cause much of a stir, and people around gradually turned their attention away from Su Ruoyun, no longer watching her like she was a monkey, and returned to their own entertainment.

A moment later, someone started a card game and invited the young masters to take their seats. Lin Shangqing, as the birthday celebrant, naturally took the seat of honor. Su Jiayi and Su Ruoyun were not very interested in playing cards, while Su Mingyan sat on the east side.

After playing two or three rounds, someone whispered a few words to Su Mingyan. The rest of the people at the table and those watching all looked eastward, puzzled.

Su Mingyan subtly raised his eyelashes to look at him, as if asking if the matter was true or false. After receiving a nod from the other party, he waved to Su Ruoyun, who was sitting on the sofa eating fruit.

When someone called her, Su Ruoyun was stuffing a piece of Shizuoka melon into her mouth, her long fingers holding a toothpick. The flesh was soft, sweet, and fragrant, with a rich milky and fruity aroma. She was so engrossed in the delicious taste that she didn't notice Su Mingyan at all.

It was only when someone next to her called her softly that Su Ruoyun looked over and saw her older brother calling her. She quickly got up.

When Su Ruoyun approached, Su Mingyan handed her his deck of cards and said in a deep voice, "Play two rounds for me first."

Su Ruoyun naturally accepted it and replied, "Okay."

To the three siblings, this scene was perfectly normal.

To outsiders unaware of the truth, it appeared that even with his own cousin present, Su Mingyan still gave the cards to Xiao Xing'er, who was being raised outside the family, showing genuine affection.

After taking her seat, Su Ruoyun lowered her eyes and carefully examined the cards in her hand. After scanning the cards once, the game continued, and someone threw out a small card—the 3 of Hearts.

People nearby smiled and approached, trying to strike up a conversation: "Little sister, where are you from?"

Su Ruoyun, focused intently on arranging the cards, spared a moment to reply briefly: "A person from the capital."

"Hey, then we're from the same hometown." The person who asked the question naturally revealed a hint of Beijing accent, full of charm.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Get lost! Who here isn't from the capital?"

The man, seemingly unfazed, grinned broadly and then asked, "Little sister, what do your family members do?"

“A singer.” Su Ruoyun said simply. She couldn’t reveal her father’s identity, so she could only mention Ms. Ming’s profession. She could tell that they were deliberately trying to find out about her, but she didn’t hide it.

"Did you release any records? Maybe we've all heard them?" the man asked with great interest.

"Yes, I've done a few concerts."

"The Bird's Nest, or somewhere else? They've held concerts there, that's pretty impressive."

Su Ruoyun smiled broadly, placing the last Queen of Spades in her hand on the table, and said modestly, "It's alright, it's just the Sydney Opera House and the Vienna Golden Hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

No one cared about winning or losing the game anymore; everyone present was stunned by her nonchalant remark.

The Sydney Opera House and the Vienna Musikverein are both world-class art venues, the pinnacle stages that artists from all over the world aspire to perform on. Only a handful of Chinese artists have the opportunity to perform on these two prestigious stages.

This isn't singing; this is clearly a professional singer.

Just then, Su Jiayi strolled over with leisurely steps, put his left hand on Su Ruoyun's shoulder, and casually asked, "What are you talking about, sis?"
