Chapter Ninety-Four: A Concerto of Love
Since Shi Shijie has seen Luo Qiu, it is not difficult to think of Luo Qiu. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He has served in Zhang's family for decades, and he has also rolled around in the shopping mall for more than 20 thoughts, and naturally cultivated a set of kung fu to the point of perfecting people.
What's more, this is the only classmate in the only bloodline class of the Zhang family's generation.
In fact, to put it mildly, how could the old lady casually let her granddaughter go to school one by one? Not only did she do an unusually good job of secrecy, but even some people in the school investigated it early.
Shi Shijie thought interestingly that in the past two years, Zhang Xuanrui would talk about this classmate in front of the old lady during an occasional chat, but she didn't know that the old lady had already investigated the matter of this classmate.
You can't blame Zhang Li Lanfang for doing these things behind her back. Zhang Li Lanfang, who claims to be an old woman, is actually an old man, an orphan and a widow after so many years of ups and downs, if she hadn't always maintained the mind of being a young lady of the Li family, how could she take root in this place.
In the eyes of the old lady, even if this classmate has never seen it, it can be classified as an innocent person, so even if her granddaughter occasionally mentions that there is such a classmate, Zhang Li Lanfang didn't say anything.
Zhang Xuanrui once commented in front of the old lady that this classmate in her class was a rare quiet person.
There are many criteria for evaluating a person, smart, kind, enterprising, ambitious, gentle, etc., but the word 'quiet' is used in particular, so Zhang Li Lanfang is relieved.
......
"Miss, you invited Mr. Luo too. Shi Shijie recognized the person, so he directly took the initiative to smile and speak.
His intentions were actually good...... But apparently he did something bad in Zhang Xuanrui's eyes with good intentions. It's just that this kind of thing has been said, and Zhang Xuanrui can only say helplessly: "Sort of......"
Who knows if you say no, what will this ordinary 'classmate' do at the moment?
Don't you see this guy calling for the wandering ghost to get up and relax, wash away his memory, and understate?
It's just mysterious, okay!
"Since you're here, come in. Shi Shijie looked at Luo Qiu and said politely: "Mr. Luo, I really disturbed last time, and I will have a good drink with you later, as an amend." β
Well...... To make this general manager Shi of the Zhang family consortium so polite is probably something that countless people dream of.
It's just that the status and wealth of society are not as valuable to the club's owner as a ball with a story, but Luo Qiu has no intention of pushing away the kindness of others.
If you show up, you show up, then you enter - it's a vanity fair inside.
It's one thing to hear or hear, but it's another thing to feel it yourself.
"You haven't told me yet...... What did you let that girl in just now?" asked Miss Zhang in a low voice beside Luo Qiu at this moment.
This birthday party took a lot of her thoughts, and now before she figured out the situation, she just wanted this party not to be messed up.
God knows what this guy who comes and goes freely in the underground palace in Ulaanbaatar is planning behind his back?
"There may be some small things that can happen. Luo Qiu glanced at the crowd and suddenly said, "But don't worry, I will give your grandmother a gift as compensation." β
"Small, small?"
Luo Qiu said indifferently: "You'd better not get too close to me, the longer the time, the more people will see me." β
Zhang Xuanrui glanced at Luo Qiu: "You are a good person, who can't see it?"
Regarding the question of the sense of existence, it took Luo Qiu himself some time to figure it out, and he was naturally in no mood to explain anything to her at this time, "You left me, your grandmother has seen it, you can go over." β
"Okay, okay. β
With a slight hesitation in her heart, Zhang Xuanrui could only listen to Luo Qiu's words temporarily, but the eldest lady of the Zhang family herself was not so relieved, and walked on the way to her grandmother, turning back frequently.
But even if not everyone noticed, someone still noticed.
Who is this young man? Accompanied by Miss Zhang and Shi Shijie?
Miss Zhang turned back frequently...... It's like a little daughter, as if it's a reluctance between lovers?
Hey...... What about the people? It seems that they are still here, why did they disappear all of a sudden?
"Young Master, that should be Miss Zhang's friend, we met in Guyuezhai last time. Cheng Yun suddenly whispered in Zhong Luochen's ear at this time.
Zhong Luochen glanced at his grandfather, who also noticed this scene, and made a quiet gesture, without saying anything, as if there was no ripple in his heart.
When Mrs. Zhong was thoughtful, Zhang Li Lanfang also watched her granddaughter come at this time.
Mrs. Zhang grabbed her granddaughter's palm and said with a slight smile: "Don't you introduce your friends to let me know?"
Zhang Xuanrui was reluctant to let his elderly grandmother come into contact with such an unbelievable thing, and then said: "He...... He's shy. β
Let's hope Luo Qiu didn't hear it...... She subconsciously glanced at it quietly, but she didn't see Luo Qiu's figure at this time...... She finally saw the back of the girl who had been let in, and was walking towards the position of the orchestra.
The young violinist in the orchestra walked out at onceβwell, it was just time for the intermission.
Looking at Zhang Xuanrui's small actions, Zhang Li Lanfang suddenly said: "Wait for the first dance, you can dance with me." β
"Okay. Zhang Xuanrui nodded.
This is the last step before the toast.
......
......
Fang Jiping, who had just stopped to collect it, was very surprised to see Xiao Man appear in front of him...... It's just that Fang Ru's usual expression seems to be a little unhappy.
Fang Jiping loved this girl, but he never dared to mention it to Fang as usual. However, Xiao Man was here, and Fang Jiping couldn't bear to pretend not to know him. He withstood the pressure of Fang Ru's usual gaze, and pulled Xiao Man out at this time, which was the small room used to place tableware in the banquet hall.
"Xiao Man, why are you here?" Fang Jiping grabbed Xiao Man's hands and asked with a smile.
Looking at Fang Jiping, who was obviously happy because of his arrival, Xiao Man subconsciously smiled sweetly, but his face quickly became more serious.
Xiao Man moved his lips and shouted coldly: "Tiger baby......"
The joy that came out of the list because of his girlfriend's appearance seemed to freeze at this moment, and he almost instinctively let go of his girlfriend's hands, but soon pretended not to know: "What did you just say?"
"Sure enough......"
Looking at Fang Jiping's reaction at this moment, Xiao Man opened his mouth and looked at Fang Jiping seriously, "Ji Ping...... You take a look at this first. β
"But you have to be calm. Xiao Man took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, clicked on the video of the unfamiliar public account in the circle of friends, and put it in Fang Jiping's hand.
- Where is your son?
Clear enough to fully identify the footage of the two men in the video...... The scream of tearing the lungs crossed the guardrail, and finally turned over and fell into the water, where the people were struggling in pain.
And that...... Ruthless man.
Fang Jiping's palms trembled meaninglessly, and the video screen in front of him swayed because of this.
"I don't know who took the picture, but the person here should be your father, right?" Xiao Man hesitated, "Didn't I say yesterday that I met a drowning lady? It seems to be the one in the video." Yang Ping...... Ji Ping, do you know?"
The phone silently fell from Fang Jiping's hands to the ground, and his eyes suddenly turned slightly red.
Just as Xiao Man was about to pick up the phone, a person suddenly broke in, picked up the phone at a faster speed, and clicked on the video again.
His face suddenly became panicked, "What...... How could it be...... Who took the ......?"
Fang as usual!
......
He looked at Fang Jiping's expression, looking at the appearance of a girl he had never seen before who made Fang Jiping happy, and he already had some conjectures in his heart. For Fang Jiping quietly hiding his relationship with such an ordinary girl, he was somewhat angry in his heart.
Or rather...... A kind of uneasiness that is not under its control.
Fang followed as usual, hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on the conversation of the two...... But I heard the conversation that made my hands and feet cold, and I vaguely heard the sound of the video.
Almost desperately, Fang was as desperate as usual to ask for proof of what the video content was that frightened him and made him fall into extreme unease for a moment - he exposed himself.
"You...... You lied to me. Fang Jiping raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with an uneasy expression.
Fang was busy trying to say something...... What could he say? The video is like ironclad evidence, and there is no way to argue with it.
"You lied to me!!!" Fang Jiping suddenly went crazy, grabbed Fang Ruchang's collar with both hands, pushed the person against the wall, and said angrily: "You lied to me!!How did you tell me! You said that she asked for your money and left...... But, but you, you...... How can you do this to her!!...... How can you do this!, you beast!!"
I had never seen Fang Jiping so violent, that kind of anger seemed to be able to swallow him up at any time, Fang Ru said even more panickedly: "Ji Ping, you listen to me first...... I am, I was stupid to do this kind of thing. β
"Momentarily confused...... Confused for a while?" Fang Jiping was furious: "That's human life!, how can you be so easy to ...... You brute!!"
He directly grabbed Fang Ruchang and was about to walk out.
"You...... What are you going to do?" Fang said in horror.
"You're killing someone deliberately...... I won't let you go!"
Fang Ru was afraid and said, "Don't ...... Ji Ping: Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you should remember who rescued you from the hands of human traffickers back then. In the past 20 years, I have offered you books and teaching, but have I treated you badly? I, I am really just confused for a while, I am afraid that this woman will snatch you away from me......
Fang Jiping sneered: "That's a nice thing to say, you're just afraid of letting the people of the Wu family know your filthyness!"
Fang Ruchang knew that once he was pulled out of this door by Fang Jiping, everything would inevitably lead to the worst ending, and he had no choice but to continue to plead: "Ji Ping, you listen to me first...... I know it's really me doing it wrong this time. But I can make amends! How do you see this? I will go to Yang Ping and kneel down to admit my mistake, and we will take her over to take care of her, and I promise that there will be no more small movements! Think about it, if this matter is pierced, what good will it do you? The people of the Wu family will not let me go, will they also let you go? Think about it, I admit my mistake, we will support Yang Ping together, you are still my son, you can go further on the road of violinist...... Marry this girl, if you like it, and everything can be better. β
Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but say angrily: "You...... How can you be so shameless!"
Fang Ruchang hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "For the sake of these twenty years of love, you at least give me a chance to correct my mistakes...... I beg you, at least today, and you make me confess my sins in front of your mother, please......! Then you can take me to the police station! I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong!"
Looking at Fang Ru's usual appearance who was constantly kowtowing on the ground, Fang Jiping suddenly became a little sad, and he subconsciously looked at Xiao Man.
Xiao Man glanced at Fang Jiping with a complicated expression, and said helplessly: "You have an idea......
"After the banquet is over, you must follow you to the hospital! Explain what you have done clearly!" Fang Jiping bit it, lifted Fang as usual with one hand, and his expression became a little indifferent, "For the sake of you raising me for twenty years." β
"Good, good. Fang Ru couldn't care about the change in status between the two at this time.
He just thought that as long as he could drag on, as long as Fang Jiping was not impulsive, then there would still be a chance - he knew Fang Jiping's indecisive character too well.
......
"It's going to be a dance music, and I'll go with you as soon as it's done. β
Walking out of this pantry, Fang Jiping, who was afraid that Fang Jiping would suddenly change his ism, assured again. Fang Jiping, who looked irritable, did not respond.
Xiao Man was also silent.
Fang Jiping tidied up his clothes, and the master of ceremonies of the banquet was announcing the next dance session in a heavy manner at this time.
β...... On this splendid evening, our famous conductor, Mr. Fang Ruchang, will bring his orchestra to present Edgar's "Greetings of Love" to Mrs. Zhang!
Thunderous applause.
However, the lights dimmed completely at this moment, and in the huge banquet hall, only a beam of spotlights fell down, but it fell on the piano in a corner.
I don't know when the piano changed its position, and at this moment it was completely turned away from everyone, and it seemed that a person was sitting.
It's just that the top cover of the piano is propped up, but it completely blocks the appearance of this person. In the dark, under the magnesium light, the position of the piano is particularly eye-catching.
As it began, a few notes slowly flowed out, and a young and powerful voice passed through the sound equipment of the venue, slowly sounding.
"A special program that prevents everyone from having a little time. The man who played the harp whispered, "A little story." β
Since it is said to be a special program...... That's what the host of the banquet arranged, right?
The crowd listened quietly...... Although the sound of the piano is slightly jerky to those who know it.
Zhang Li Lanfang glanced at her granddaughter at this time, smiled and said softly, "What did you arrange for me?"
Zhang Xuanrui...... Did Miss Zhang arrange this program? She just had excellent hearing and could tell who the owner of the voice was.
Just as she was about to say something, hoping to make amends, after a heavy note, the person who played the harp began to speak again.
"In a quiet little village, the woman's husband left her early. He said he went out to work, and then no one came back. The woman soon heard that the man had a new home and a child outside the home. The woman did not know if her husband would return, but she knew that she had indeed been cut off from him. β
The sound of the piano turned softly, like a whispered voice.
"She's been out looking for it for a long, long time. Eventually, in despair, she returned to the quiet village where she lived. The woman looked at her child, very small, very small. The child has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and has a pair of particularly beautiful eyes. The woman's maiden family persuaded her to remarry, but on the condition that she could not carry the child. She gave up, she planned to raise the child alone. β
The music is a little faster.
She took on all the work alone, whether it was farm work or household work, and although life was difficult, it passed day by day. Just when the woman thought that she had brought up the child like this, the impermanence of fate tormented her again. Her child, who was less than three years old, contracted a serious illness. This was a completely unbearable burden for her, and she asked her neighbors to borrow money, and tried all means, but she couldn't get enough money to let her children survive the illness. The woman later made a decision that she regretted for the rest of her life. β
The piano slowed down suddenly.
"The village wasn't quiet. I don't know when it started, but a few outsiders came to the village. They started a gambling-sized business in the village. The square-shaped little dice, six different points, one-two, three-four, five-six, these points seem to have endless magic. They can make you earn more than a whole year overnight, and they can also make you lose an entire year's income overnight...... They seem to be the woman's last hope. β
With the sound of the piano, some people held their breath, as if they could already foresee the appearance of this woman walking in with hope, but walking out with greater despair...... After all, this kind of thing happens too much.
People here have heard of such a thing, but they have never experienced it themselves. They suddenly felt a sense of security through the glass when they heard such a story in such an environment accompanied by the sound of the piano.
"This gamble, the woman succeeded. Unexpectedly, in this gamble, she obtained enough money to cure her child. It didn't take long for the woman's child to appear in front of her again in good health, but life didn't seem to get any better because of this. β
The whisper turned to a whisper again.
"The woman doesn't know when it started, maybe because of the first attempt, she got into something called gambling addiction. The money came so fast that the woman felt that her past hardships and past labor were like a joke. Every time, every time, when she walked into the gambling stall, there was hope in her arms. Every time, every time, when she walked out of the gambling stall, there was no smile on her face. β
Sudden rush.
"Suddenly, one day, the woman started winning money after a long absence. She was so excited that she forgot that the child was playing alone outside...... No, women always remember their sons. She remembered every promise she had made to her son. She promised that when she had money, she would take him to the town to watch a shadow puppet show, and she would take him to a restaurant in the town for a hearty meal. It was cold, and she thought that the money she had in hand could add a new padded jacket to her child. When the child is older, she thinks that she can let the child go to school. She even dreamed that she could put a TV on her head at home for a day and sleep while holding her children in her arms at night. She wanted a refrigerator with lots and lots of popsicles, and on the night of the summer solstice, she sat in front of the door with her children, one for you and one for me, watching the sunset. She thought about it a lot, but what she didn't expect was that from that day on, she hadn't seen her son. On that day, a strange man came to the village again, doing some abduction and trafficking. So the child disappeared from this small village. β
"The child was taken away, and the woman regretted it a lot. She blamed herself, she thought softly, she even hated herself, she once committed suicide by hanging herself, but she was rescued. She came to life and wanted to see her child, which year it snowed heavily, and during the New Year, the woman quietly carried a cloth bag and left the small village amid the sound of firecrackers. As soon as I left, I walked for twenty years...... Finally, the woman found her child. β
The story abruptly entered the ending-like place, but the audience at the scene had an uncomfortable feeling.
However, the story continues, and the sound of the piano does not stop.
"After the child was taken away that day, he was taken by the traffickers to a far, far away place. He saw many children like him, who had been brought from elsewhere. Boys and girls, some with their feet broken and some with their hands broken, were forced to beg for money on the streets, just like these children. I don't know when the child began to resent the woman. He blamed him for ignoring her, he blamed her for only knowing how to be in that gambling booth full of sin. He carefully hid the rattle that the woman gave him, loved and hated. β
"One day, a man bought a child from a trafficker. The man gave the boy a very good education, and even made him a good performer. Twenty years later, this child has grown up, he has a girl he likes, he has a career he loves, and he seems to have a good, very good life. And at this time, he saw the woman who had lost him back then. β
"He has grown up, but the resentment hidden in his heart has never been eliminated. He didn't know what to do with this woman. At this time, in front of this child, there is actually a choice. The man who adopted him said: If you choose your former mother, you will lose everything. But the man also promised the child that if he didn't say all this, he would be able to enjoy everything. He was even able to quietly adopt his own mother. Yes, quietly. β
The young man playing the piano was silent here, only the sound of his fingertips gradually becoming proficient, "The story is here, I can't know the ending. What I do know is that the woman was at the gambling booth and couldn't hear the child's voice. And twenty years later, the child does not seem to hear a woman's voice on the stage of spreading his wings in life, how similar...... Richard Clayderman, "Concerto of Love", I hope you enjoy it. β
......
The sound stopped, the performance stopped, and the room was silent, as if drawn into an old black-and-white movie, and no one seemed willing to break the silence first.
Only Fang Jiping, who was in the corner, burst into tears at this time, looked at the piano in a daze, and choked up: "I...... It's that kid. β
