Gu Nanqiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Fangran, the sixteen-year-old girl showed amazing maturity at this moment, she suppressed her boiling feelings, disguised her inner fragility with enough coldness, and her words were as sharp as knives, but such a strong force was nothing more than external strength and internal strength, and the questioning blurted out had softened.

"You don't want to say that you want to get the position of the head of the Mei family to plan for me, right?"

"I was originally for you, Qiaoqiao, you are quite a good Danjiao, since you were a child, your mother has seen your talent. Over the years, I have secretly gone to the Children's Palace and watched every important performance of yours. You will definitely achieve something in the future, even much higher than me, and higher than Mei Hanqiu, you need a better platform. ”

Xiao Fangran didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Gu Nanqiao's words, nor did she prevaricate her question.

The conversation progressed to such an extent that she finally handed over her final hole cards.

"Mom, let's be honest with you, it's really not an accident that I came to you this time, I came back because of the spring garden. At present, Brother Fan is doing a private drama troupe, although it will be difficult to start, but as long as it develops, this is a rare opportunity - you can use this troupe to exercise, and also help your master by the way, and your mother will tell you all the ideas about the reform of Peking Opera, which will help you, and it can be regarded as a help to Brother Fan. ”

Hearing that the topic suddenly came to his master, Gu Nanqiao couldn't help frowning.

"Wait, what does my master's private drama have to do with you, could it be that you don't have enough chips in your hand, and you plan to ask for help elsewhere?—— I simply said it bluntly, don't involve others in the grievances between you and the Mei family, especially don't affect my master. He has taken care of me for so many years, even if you are my real mother, I can't watch you calculate him. ”

"Jojo, what do you think of your mother?"

Before Gu Nanqiao's words fell, Xiao Fangran narrowed her eyes in surprise, her expression seemed to be very distressed, and her eye circles were a little red.

"Brother Fan has taken care of you all these years, I can't thank him properly, I'm already very guilty, how can I calculate him? I said that helping you is sincere, private performance groups are the general trend of the future, since Brother Fan has this ambition, it is good to seize the opportunity to try. I have a skill but no place to use it, and because of the identity of the Mei family, I can't stand up directly. Qiaoqiao, I only have you as a daughter, of course I have to teach you all this ability, take 10,000 steps back, if this troupe can really succeed, it will be a good thing for everyone, and it can be regarded as my big brother's favor. ”

Gu Nanqiao didn't speak for a long time, chewing these words carefully, while Xiao Fangran's voice was intermittent, and she continued to say those truths.

"Child, mom wants you to get ahead, saying that she wants you to help me, but in fact, how can I force you to do something? If you can make achievements, you can naturally get the recognition of the Mei family, which is the best of both worlds." Mother will not harm you, if you listen to your mother's words, you can not only help your master, but also fulfill yourself, what's wrong? Take 10,000 steps back, you don't want to do something that others can't do, stand at the top of the Peking Opera circle, and become a real famous actor? The Mei family can give you this opportunity, you should help your master and mother. ”

These words were reasonable and reasonable, and they were particularly sincere in Xiao Fangran's just right tears, especially when Fan Lingchu was involved, which made Gu Nanqiao even more moved.

Gu Nanqiao knows how much effort Fan Lingchu has put into the affairs of Spring Manyuan during this time, she has always wanted to help Master Zhang Luo, but she is too young and has not much to do, so that at this time, there is no objective position to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in these words. Her heart was gradually shaken by Xiao Fangran's soft words, and many things that she initially firmly refused were also loosened.

And all the hesitation completely fell apart in Xiao Fangran's choked words.

"Qiaoqiao, mom won't hurt you, you believe me once, mom...... Please. ”

The most irresistible thing in the world is contrast, the soft words of a drunkard who is not drunk for a thousand cups, the last trace of mercy of the wicked who has done all the bad things, the tears that the strong and forbearant finally shed, and the few promises of the profligate man.

Also, people who have always been high above and empty of everything, it is rare and valuable to bow their heads.

For Xiao Fangran's low posture at the moment, how could Gu Nanqiao refuse?

Even if these are deceptions, she is willing to believe it once, Yu Gongna is the head of the Mei family, but no one in the Peking Opera circle does not know what this means, and it is indeed tempting. Yu Zhichun Semanyuan is related to Fan Lingchu, and has the fetters of his own master, no matter how strong he is, Gu Nanqiao can't really ignore it.

And when she started to get excited, a lot of things became unmanageable.

*********

These old events tugged at Gu Nanqiao's nerves, and it took a long time for her to finally come back to her senses.

The old house in the family building is very quiet, and the air is still in general. The cold moonlight entered through the window, mottled with silver white, the living room blew the wind through the hall, the pure white veil was swept up by the night breeze, and only the sound of the wind could be heard in the huge room.

Almost subconsciously, Gu Nanqiao stood up and walked to the TV cabinet not far away. The solid wood TV cabinet is designed with two layers, which are independent small drawers, Gu Nanqiao bent down slightly, raised his hand to pull the drawer of the second compartment open, and took out an upside-down photo frame from the inside.

The photos are well kept, and they still can't stop the traces of age.

It was Gu Nanqiao's fifth birthday, an old photo taken by Gu Lin.

Gu Nanqiao was wearing a beautiful princess dress and holding a birthday cake with five candles in her hand, like a delicate and moving little princess. Xiao Fangran stood aside, raising her hand to hold her baby daughter, her delicate and moving eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, smiling lightly, gentleness overflowed from the bottom of her eyebrows, and even overshadowed the arrogance.

At least at that moment, Gu Nanqiao could clearly feel that he was loved.

This photo is the best proof of this.

Even when she was at her most chilling, Gu Nanqiao was reluctant to throw away this photo, which means that some things can never be thrown away, even if she is involved all the way, her blood and family relationship cannot be abandoned by her, no matter how hard she is hard and soft-hearted, she still can't be ruthless after all.

Over the years, Gu Nanqiao has always wanted to get rid of the shadow left by Xiao Fangran, at first she simply avoided it, and she didn't want to mention these things at all, nor did she want to get involved in the Mei family's affairs. Later, it became a desperate attempt to prove himself, wanting to take back what the Mei family owed Xiao Fangran, and when his mother untied the knot, everyone was relieved.

But this kind of evasion and effort was originally driven by willfulness, not her real thoughts. It wasn't until this year, when she really developed Spring and Color, that she gradually figured out what she wanted.

Gu Nanqiao spent his energy on the Spring Garden, persevering for several years, giving up everything that should be given up in exchange for those ethereal and unsure whether they could get it. Such efforts are not only to repay Fan Lingchu for his kindness over the years, nor is it about currying favor with the Mei family and gaining recognition, and then deliberately proving something, not even for the trust given by Xiao Fangran back then, or the commercial value that gradually comes with the continuous development of Spring and Color Garden.

It's all for yourself, for those you love.

Gu Nanqiao, who was still a teenager at the time, responded to the matter of a hot mind, to a large extent, it was just a momentary courage. After that, he was involved in feelings and responsibilities, and it was difficult to find a balance, and even sometimes even Gu Nanqiao himself would reflect on whether he was not a little simple enough to treat this troupe.

But when she really faced her heart, she gradually figured out what was a choice and what was a trade-off.

Putting aside all external factors, spring is still Gu Nanqiao's ideal. Even if the ideal is just an empty moon with empty hands, it may not really be realized in the end, but it still has the value of its pursuit. And this is the pursuit of being born as a human being, and it is also the meaning of the existence of ideals, and it is the real reason why Gu Nanqiao has not given up all these years, and it is all the reason why she has persevered until now despite the consequences.

It's just that Gu Nanqiao thinks about these things clearly, how can he say them to Su Yiyang?

Gu Nanqiao naturally showed a sincere heart to Su Yiyang, from the initial mutual attraction in the dark, to the gradual untie of the knot and accept each other step by step, she spent too much time on Su Yiyang, and she also knew her boyfriend very well - both of them are very rational people, and they both have indelible pride, the only difference is that Su Yiyang's reason is chic and wanton, and Gu Nanqiao's reason is calm and introverted, but no matter how you say it, these are all different paths.

Gu Nanqiao saw Su Yiyang's thoughts thoroughly, and also saw the changes he had made along the way clearly. She knew very well that it was the various bits and pieces of the development of Spring and Color Garden that warmed Su Dashao's heart, and made him finally believe in those things about dreams and pursuits, and untied the knot in his heart that he had buried for many years.

Regarding these things about the Mei family, Gu Nanqiao has always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Su Yiyang, but it was delayed again and again, and it was actually delayed until tonight, and was interrupted by Zhong Ziyi's sudden call and was shelved again. In the end, it is nothing more than that Gu Nanqiao is afraid that these things will affect Su Dashao, and he is also afraid that his undecisiveness will affect Su Yiyang and make him misunderstand something.

After all, it's easy to let faith collapse.

What's more, the Mei family's affairs are too wide-ranging, and there are also old things about the Jingyao Grand Theater behind it, which is easy to make the situation out of control.

But now, Gu Nanqiao is more trusting than rational after all, she no longer minds being open and honest about family matters, and plans to bring out all the inside stories of the Mei family, removing pride and closed-mindedness, she finally decided to face it with Su Yiyang. Gu Nanqiao wanted to take a gamble, the relationship and trust between her and Su Yiyang were enough to surpass many things.

At this point, Gu Nanqiao finally stopped hesitating, took out his mobile phone and edited a text message.

"Brother Su, leave me dinner time tomorrow, don't arrange other things...... I'll tell you everything about the Mei family and the inside story of the Ji family. "Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
