With Xiao Fangran's half-sigh overflowing from his throat, those past events were finally completely unfolded.

After Xiao Fangran left, Mei Hanqiu had fewer competitors and developed smoothly, and soon after Mr. Ji sent a "hero post" to the Peking Opera family, bringing together talents from all walks of life, and the big guys worked together to Zhang Luo Jingyao Grand Theater.

Because of the favorable time, place and people, the development speed of Jingyao Grand Theater can be called phenomenal, even Xiao Fangran, who is far away in Xinguang City, has also heard of this performance group. The beautiful Ji Guangfan, the peerless Feng Sunan, the gentle and moving Sun Jing, and the glamorous and enchanting Mei Hanqiu, when they get together, they are destined to have extraordinary influence, and it is normal to make some achievements.

There were almost no surprises, the Jingyao Grand Theater quickly burst into applause, these four Peking Opera actors are known as the Dinghai Shenzhen in the Peking Opera industry, and they became famous for a while, and even the name of the Peking Opera family was called, even in the era when there was no rapid development of self-media, the audience deeply remembered the grand occasion of the year.

These things hit Xiao Fangran very hard, she felt that she could compare to Mei Hanqiu, and she could also compete with the Mei family. But no matter how ambitious and talented she is, she is weak after all, how can she directly confront several major Peking Opera families by herself?

probably felt that there was little hope, and at that time, she was tender and sweet with Gu Lin, and many things were put down like this.

Xiao Fangran saw that the reform of Peking Opera was in full swing, and even many of the ideas in it borrowed the prototype of the performance she proposed to Mr. Mei earlier, and now those achievements have been given to Mei Hanqiu by Mei Chi intact, becoming her "stroke of genius" in the development of original repertoire at the Jingyao Grand Theater.

For these things, Xiao Fangran didn't bother to delve into them.

Probably when the irreparable unfairness is taken to the extreme, it is sad that the heart is dead.

But this kind of prosperity has only gone through a few short years, and soon went downhill with the death of the old man of the Ji family, since Feng Sunan's sudden accident, Mei Hanqiu ran away, Sun Jing committed suicide, one after another, and the glorious development of Jingyao Grand Theater came to an end.

The rise and fall of the building are just a matter of an eye.

These four immortal figures got together, and the situation that supported a lot of things fell apart, and the management rights of Jingyao Grand Theater finally fell to the Ji family, and the war without gunpowder came to an end. Then it took dozens of years, and it gradually developed into the current situation, becoming the dominant Ji family.

.......

"Qiaoqiao, it was at this time that my mother received a letter from Old Man Mei's family. Outsiders may not know, but I know those insider stories - the natural disasters of the Jingyao Grand Theater back then were not pure, it was a coincidence to the outside world, but in fact, Ji Guangfan watched the development of the Jingyao Grand Theater get better and better, and his heart became unclean. He didn't use any tricks behind his back, and it is unknown how he ended up killing someone. ”

Speaking of these, Xiao Fangran's tone paused slightly, and she pulled the topic back again.

"However, Feng Sunan's death is indeed related to Ji Guangfan, and Mei Hanqiu is mixed in it, so it must not be simple..... If it weren't for the fact that the situation was enough to affect the entire Mei family, Mei Chi would not have been able to find a way out, so how could he have thought of finding me back. ”

At that time, Xiao Fangran saw everything thoroughly, and Mei Chi would suddenly call her back, just because Mei Hanqiu was in trouble.

It's still the kind of thing that the entire Mei family can't bear, a big disaster.

Mei Chi did not discuss the specific details in the letter, but only said that something had happened to the Mei family and asked Xiao Fangran to come back as soon as possible. No one knows better than the person concerned about the circumstances under which she left the Mei family, Mei Chi has ignored her over the years, as if she didn't have this daughter, and let her fend for herself, which also confirmed Xiao Fangran's judgment.

Mei Chi's initial thought was nothing more than to solve the trouble, just like leaving Xiao Xiao behind at that time, out of sight. After a long time, the two of them didn't think about it, and he could choose to turn the page by deceiving himself, and he would not meet Xiao Fangran in the future.

It's a pity that Old Man Mei's wishful thinking played well, but he lost to the flying disaster.

Because of the changes in the Jingyao Grand Theater, Mei Hanqiu directly changed from the glory of the family to a precarious outcast, and Mei Chi had to think about how to deal with the aftermath in order to stabilize the overall situation. On the cusp of such a storm, he suddenly relented to his illegitimate daughter and asked Xiao Fangran to return to Mei's house in advance, and it is not difficult to guess what the meaning is.

- This is clearly that Mei Chi's mind has changed.

At least when he wrote the letter, Old Man Mei really had a mind to replace the head of the Mei family.

What Xiao Fangran wants to do most in her life is to gain the approval of the Mei family, how could she give up such an opportunity, almost without any hesitation, she directly chose to return to the Mei family.

"I thought at the time, these things are long and dreamy, and Mei Chi's mind is changing rapidly, if I really want to prepare for the handover, and then I will break with him about getting married and having children in the past few years, I will miss the best opportunity if I can't keep it, and it will be too late. As for you and Brother Lin, you can wait for me to handle the affairs of the Mei family, and then slowly make up for it. ”

Xiao Fangran sighed in a low voice, she rolled down the window of the car through a small gap, took out a lady's cigarette from the pocket of her cashmere coat, and lit it unhurriedly.

Over the years, she has retreated into the background and rarely appeared on stage, and her most precious voice is not so precious, her lipstick has a small circle of red marks on the cigarette roll, and the smell of mint smoke permeates the carriage, and even the end of her words has become thick and hoarse.

"Who knows that when I go back, I will know that these things are not so simple to deal with...... The matter of Jingyao Grand Theater does have something to do with Mei Hanqiu, Sun Jing also grabbed their handle back then, and those evidences are enough to overthrow the Ji family and the Mei family, so that the entire Peking Opera circle can change the dynasty. At that time, Sun Jing was not ...... Hey, you don't need to know those insider stories, so I won't go into details. In short, Old Man Mei was really panicked, so he told me everything, hoping that I would replace him. ”

If you want to become the head of the Mei family, many conditions are naturally indispensable.

During that time, people in the Mei family were panicked, Xiao Fangran was planning to get back his identity without blood, Mei Hanqiu was worried about how not to take responsibility, and Mei Chi was quite difficult to move left and right, trying to find a balance between them, the left and right were all intricate considerations, and there was no peace of mind behind it.

In a changing situation, no one is immune.

And the matter of Gu Lin and Gu Nanqiao will obviously pull Mei Chi's judgment, Xiao Fangran can only hide it to the death, and he doesn't dare to reveal even the slightest rumor, for fear that the balance in Mr. Mei's heart will be out of balance. The so-called confession and treatment can only be delayed again and again, and it has become a walk away in Gu Nanqiao's eyes, ignoring it.

If things really develop as Xiao Fangran predicted, all efforts will be rewarded, and it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end.

But that's pretty much it......

Maybe she was too unwilling, even after many years, Xiao Fangran still couldn't maintain her peace of mind when she talked about these things, she frowned slightly, and her delicate and beautiful face was full of sourness.

But before Old Man Mei could make up his mind, Sun Jing suddenly committed suicide. With her death, the matter of Jingyao Grand Theater came to an end, and the evidence was not exposed in the end, and the crisis of the Mei family was over. After resolving the most acute pressure, Mei Chi certainly didn't have to rush to change his successor...... But when he was most anxious, he told me everything, and at this time, he couldn't do it as if he had nothing to do, and in the end he was only in a dilemma. Scold...... I was embarrassed, and he was embarrassed. ”

Xiao Fangran is Mei Chi's biological daughter, and she can't kill people, so she can only use it for her own use. Maybe it was out of a delaying tactic, or maybe it was a disguised appeasement, this time Mei Chi didn't drive Xiao Fangran away again, but let her participate in the development of the Mei family's performances.

It has been many years since she was involved in this way, Xiao Fangran always felt that she had a chance, and the things she had been looking forward to were at her fingertips, as long as she worked hard, of course, it was impossible to give up when she was about to kick the door. In order to be recognized by the Mei family, she endured countless grievances, whether it was her mother's death, or her bleak and hopeless childhood, or Mei Hanqiu's exclusion and difficulty, they were all like sharp knives, straight into Xiao Fangran's heart.

Everyone is just a mortal, they all have seven emotions and six desires, and none of them are so great.

There are always some things that cannot be forgiven, and the scars are fiercely engraved in the memory, and the more you mind, the more you are entangled in the mire of hatred. And when the deep hatred and the selfish desires in the heart are twisted together and become a sunk cost that cannot be liquidated, there is no possibility of self-transcendence, and it is completely impossible to see it.

Old Man Mei can't allow the ugly things of the Mei family to be exposed, whether it's the past with Xiao Xiao or the wrong things about Mei Hanqiu. Xiao Fangran was reluctant to leave the Mei family because of interests, and in order to please Mei Chi, she even willingly left the stage and retreated behind the scenes, giving it a go and wanting to gamble big.

But this so-called gambling has involved Xiao Fangran for most of his life.

Her ideals, family, career, children, life, and more....... It's all completely out of control.

Xiao Fangran didn't continue to say the words later, but Gu Nanqiao could fully understand it, no wonder Xiao Fangran never contacted Gu Lin and didn't return to Xinguang City, that's all the reason.

Xiao Fangran didn't want to see the current situation, presumably she was not comfortable, and she was also cornered, so she finally felt regretful.

Thousands of thoughts came rushing back, Gu Nanqiao didn't know what to say for a while, all the things that she was worried about suddenly spread out in front of her, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know anything before but fell easily. When you are entangled in grievances and hatred, even showing a clear attitude has become a luxury.

Such complex emotions made the chat go straight into the cold field, neither of them spoke, and it was quite difficult for Xiao Fangran to dissect the bloody past like this, she gave Gu Nanqiao enough time to digest, and also enough time to calm down her emotions.

I don't know how long it took, but the cold and gentle voice finally broke the silence.

Xiao Fangran turned her head slightly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked straight at Gu Nanqiao, and opened her mouth word by word.

"However, Qiaoqiao, these things are not without a turnaround, and we can still fight. ”
