975 Happy Birthday

"Darling! Take a look at the television!" Tang Lee burst into Yu Yong's room shortly after he found out about Yuan's concert.

"I am watching it now! How did this happen?!" Yu Yong gritted his teeth in frustration.

"I don't know, but our investors are contacting us from all directions! They think we're behind this, and they're super angry right now! We need to do something!"

"Of course they are angry! I would be angry too! His return after a decade could've brought us hundreds of millions! However, he wasted it on this shitty concert!" Yu Yong roared.

"Damn it! What should we do?! That bastard seems to have made a recovery! However, we have already kicked him out of the family! If only we had waited for a couple more months, none of this would be happening!"

"Calm down, it's not over yet." Tang Lee said with a cold smile on her face.

"In case you forgot, we still have his contract, and even though we kicked him out, he is still legally part of our family. We'll force him back into our grasp no matter what it takes! I'll go call Meifeng and our lawyers right now!"

Meanwhile, at the city square, the crowd in front of Yuan's concert would grow bigger as time passed.

The people that had been too terrified to leave their homes suddenly decided to witness this performance with their eyes even at the cost of their lives.

By the third song, the entire square was filled with people, and even the people trying to leave the city halted their movements, which clogged up the traffic even more, putting it to a complete halt.

"That young man on the stage looks very familiar! Where have I seen him before?"

"That's that child prodigy Yu Tian!"

"Oh! I remember now! The one that suddenly disappeared a decade ago? I thought he had died!"

"Apparently, he had been suffering from an illness until recently."

"Does this mean he'll return to playing the instruments?! I'll have to attend one of them even if it costs me my entire fortune!"

"Aren't you at one right now? And it's even free!"

"Heavens! I didn't think he could improve, but it sounds even better than I remember!"

Yuan decided to play a total of 17 songs because it was Yu Rou's 17th birthday.

At the end of his last song, Yuan stood up and walked to the microphone before speaking, "Happy birthday, Yu Rou."

The crowd erupted with cheers afterward.

However, there was one person that wasn't cheering, and that was Yu Rou, who was too busy wiping her tears.

Sometime later, Yuan jumped off the stage and began walking into the crowd.

The people there quickly made a path for him until he reached Yu Rou.

"Surprise." Yuan said to her with a bright smile on his face.

"You idiot… How dare you make me cry on my birthday… and in front of so many people…" Yu Rou cried.

Yuan opened his arms, gesturing for a hug.

Yu Rou immediately jumped into his embrace and cried on his chest until she could no longer produce tears and Yuan's clothes were soaking wet.

"Brother… I love you…" Yu Rou mumbled afterward.

"Yes, I love you too." Yuan smiled as he patted her head.

Sometime later, Yuan returned to the stage and said to the audience, "Thank you all for coming to my concert today. Although I will not be returning to my old career as a musician because I found something else I want to chase, I will not give up on music, so you can expect to see me again in the future!"

The audience refused to leave even after the concert was over, and many of them had questions for him.

However, the Bai Family and the Cultivators' Association worked together to keep them from swarming Yuan.

"T-That was an amazing concert, Senior Yu…" Xia Jingyi said.

"Senior Yu? Just call me Yuan. Yu Rou already told you about it, right?"

"Y-Yes… But are you sure? There's still so many people around us…" Xia Jingyi looked around in a nervous manner.

When Yu Rou revealed to Xia Jingyi that her Brother, Yu Tian, was actually Player Yuan, Xia Jingyi was so shocked that she fell unconscious for an entire minute.

"I don't care about hiding my identity anymore so it's fine." Yuan smiled.

"B-By the way, Brother… Your eyes… Have your vision returned?" Yu Rou finally got to ask him.

"Yes, I have regained my vision. In fact, I regained it just yesterday." He nodded.

"That's amazing! How did it return? Did you do anything special?"

"No, it just came back suddenly, just like how my body suddenly started working again."

"Anyways, let's stop talking about me. It's your birthday, after all. Is there anything you want to do?" Yuan asked her.

Yu Rou pondered for a moment before shaking her head, "Not really. I had planned on relaxing in my room and spending most of the day talking to you on the phone, but Meixiu told me that you'd been hospitalized."

"S-Sorry… I didn't want to ruin the surprise…" Meixiu said with a stiff smile on her face.

"Hello, Yu Rou! It's been a while!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly stepped forward with a smile on her face.

"Lulu! You're here too!?"

"Of course. And happy birthday."

"Thank you."

"Ah, I didn't bring any presents with me this year, but next year, I will definitely get you something."

"It's fine. I don't care about that." Yu Rou shook her head.

"Anyways, let's go somewhere quieter. It's too noisy here."

"Sure."

They all made their way to the White Lotus Hotel.

However, before they can even sit down and relax on the peaceful roof, Meixiu suddenly received a phone call from her mother, Meifeng.

"It's my mother. She's probably calling about the concert… Should I answer it?" Meixiu sighed.

"Go ahead. Let's see what she— the Yu Family wants." Yuan nodded with a calm smile on his face.

"Okay."

Meixiu answered the phone the next moment.
