Chapter 18 The Present Is Not What It Used To Be

Late at night, Song Lingyue returned to the hotel, looking at the large bouquet of bright red roses on the cabinet and the shiny diamond necklace in the jewelry box, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Nicholas Chen said that he had prepared a gift, but he didn't expect it to be such an expensive gift, but it was given to her in front of everyone, which made her out of the limelight, and she began to feel uneasy, this Nicholas Chen, what did he want?

Rong's mother was sleeping in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Song Lingyue was still looking at the flowers in a daze, thinking that she was excited and couldn't sleep, so she muttered and persuaded her: "Xiaoyue, go to sleep!" It's great that you and Young Master Yan can reconcile, but you also have to pay attention to your body, it's been a day's wind today, and it should be cold at night, don't freeze. ”

Song Lingyue smiled bitterly and shook her head, Rong Ma didn't know that this flower was sent by someone else, and thought that Yan Yi had reconciled with her and flattered her, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Rong Ma would worry, but now, she really wanted to find someone to ask and ask her what to do.

She thought that dancing in Jinkaimen was a way out and made a lot of money, Song Lang also swore before, Jinkaimen is not one of those vulgar places, but now after a long time, she understands that Jinkaimen is not much different from other entertainment venues, but it is a seemingly elegant way, in the final analysis, it is a Fengyue place.

Rong's mother's breathing gradually stabilized, and she fell asleep again, Song Lingyue didn't want to disturb her rest anymore, turned off the bedside light, nested in the quilt, and didn't know what was waiting for her tomorrow, she had to sleep enough before she had the energy to deal with it.

When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, Song Lingyue hurriedly washed up, had breakfast with Rong's mother, called two rickshaws, and went to find someone's teeth.

Renyazi really found a house, it is also a rich area, the house is better than Yan Yi's, it is a new-style small western-style building, and the new equipment is readily available, but the rent is also very expensive, asking for fifty yuan per month.

Song Lingyue's current income is not that she can't afford to live, it's just that she wants to save more money, so that she can get rid of the current situation, and pay off Yan Yi, and the life of owing favors is really difficult.

I asked Ren Yazi to find another one, but Ren Yazi was a little impatient, on a cold day, no one wanted to let anyone run, not to mention, a convenient and cheap house to live in is indeed not easy to find, Song Lingyue asked again and again, he had to shirk next month, there is really no suitable one at the moment.

Song Lingyue discussed with Rong's mother, there are still more than ten days until next month, and the hotel fee of one dollar a day is also a large expense.

When Ren Yazi heard that Song Lingyue wanted to rent, his attitude also improved, and he immediately found the landlord, and the two sides signed a piece of paper, and Song Lingyue paid half a year's rent, gave Ren Yazi an errand fee, took the key, and even if it was settled, he only waited for the move when he was free tomorrow.

Back at the hotel, Rong's mother began to pack her things, she wanted to live in the newly rented house in advance, so that she could clean up the house, buy some daily necessities, and when Song Lingyue moved in, she didn't have to worry about it.

Two days later, Nicholas Chen's ball was held at Jinkaimen, and Song Lingyue ordered a dress in advance to support him.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Song Lingyue arrived at Jinkaimen on time, and as soon as she entered the door, there were already many guests sitting in the hall, all of whom were coming to the banquet.

Song Lingyue put on makeup, changed her clothes, and came to the hall with a mask, Nicholas Chen saw her at a glance, beckoned to her, and Song Lingyue walked over.

Nicholas Chen walked out with a wine glass, pulled Song Lingyue and walked a few steps away, with a faint smell of wine in his mouth, and asked, "Why are you still wearing a mask?" Can't you pick up a scene like this today? ”

Song Lingyue bit her red lip, organized the language in her head, and said slowly: "I am here to show people with a mask, also to increase the sense of mystery, and also, when I met the commander, I also wore a mask, so I want to take this as a suspension." ”

Nicholas Chen felt that this rhetoric was quite passable, and it was just a matter of communicating, so he followed her and led her back to the box.

"Come on, brothers, let me introduce to you, this is Jin Kaimen's current top brand, Moon Girl, and my girlfriend, the heroine of tonight, wait a minute, you can enjoy her most beautiful dance."

The title of girlfriend is already another meaning on this occasion, everyone knows it, Song Lingyue also understands, and she doesn't care about this title, she shook hands with everyone very generously, "Hello everyone, I'm the moon, thank you for your support, you must have fun today." ”

As she spoke, the greeter had already sent red wine, Song Lingyue took a glass and raised her glass to everyone, "I salute everyone!" He raised his head and drank half a glass of wine.

Everyone also politely said a few words, drank the wine in the cup, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's really a hero with a beauty, they all say that the Moon Girl is a peerless beauty, but I didn't expect this peony flower to be picked by Commander Chen, congratulations." ”

These are all scenes, Nicholas Chen politely said a few words, and then took Song Lingyue to another place, met a few old friends, naturally, it is indispensable to drink, Song Lingyue is still very face-saving, and he did not refuse a glass of wine that should be drunk, and drank it very simply.

At seven o'clock, the banquet began, Nicholas Chen asked Song Lingyue to rest first, gave her a list of guests, asked her to scan it first, wait a little and be prepared, Song Lingyue was already drunk, and she couldn't ask for it, so she went backstage with the list.

Song Lang poured her a cup of sobering soup, Song Lingyue took a few sips, felt a little more comfortable, sat side by side with him on the sofa, and looked at the list in his hand.

Opening the first page, Song Lingyue's eyes widened in surprise, Xia Yeqing's name was impressively listed, and he was still in the front, obviously he was Chen Tingfeng's distinguished guest, not only him, but even President Yan was also on the list, as well as several famous businessmen that the Song family knew before, all of whom Song Lingyue knew.

Song Lang glanced at the list, and his mouth was full of slurp, "This Commander Chen's face is really big, almost all the powerful people in Kyoto have been invited, it seems that tonight is also a good opportunity for you." ”

Song Lingyue didn't hear his words, from seeing Xia Yeqing's name, she couldn't sit still, if Xia Yeqing came, what if she recognized her? His temper may expose her on the spot and make her ugly, in that case, her efforts these days will be in vain, and Jin Kaimen will not be able to stay.

Song Lang saw that she didn't speak for a long time, only holding a corner of the list in a daze, her nails dyed with red nail polish picked out all the names on the list, and couldn't help but touch her with his elbow.

"Satsuki, what do you want? Is there a problem with this list? ”

"Huh?" Song Lingyue looked back blankly, "What? ”

Song Lang sighed, reached out and took off her mask, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm asking you, is there a problem with the list, why are you in a daze after reading it?" ”

Song Lingyue had already begun to get nervous, her hands left the list, and she began to rub the corners of her clothes again, and asked uneasily: "Song Lang, what should I do if an acquaintance sees me here and makes me make a fool of myself?" If I smash Commander Chen's banquet because of this, what will he do to me? ”

When Song Lang heard this, his expression became serious, "There are your acquaintances in this list?" Who is it? ”

Song Lingyue didn't dare to say that it was Xia Yeqing, she only said that she was a very important person, and her identity was also very valuable, which she definitely couldn't afford to offend.

Song Lang didn't expect things to be like this, what is even more puzzling is that Song Lingyue actually knows the people on the list, the people on this list are either rich or expensive, she can know such a person, what is the way to come from?

Song Lingyue noticed his gaze, glanced at him, and said angrily: "Don't think about it in a crooked place, I know these people because of others, not accidentally, so the top priority is to find a way, otherwise, you will lose my top card." ”

Song Lang stared at her for a while, then smiled, picked up the mask and compared it on her face, and said: "You forgot that there is also a mask, wear this, except for Commander Chen and me, it is estimated that they will not recognize the people present." ”

As soon as Song Ling was reminded by him, he suddenly remembered that his face was no longer the same, so he subconsciously stood up, walked to the mirror, touched his cheek with one hand, and muttered: "Yes! How did I forget, I am not what I used to be, and now that I am standing in front of him, he may not recognize him, heh! ”

Halfway through the ball, Nicholas Chan sent someone backstage to inform Song Lingyue that it was time for her to get ready to play, Song Lingyue changed her clothes and left the dressing room.

The curtain rose slowly, and Song Lingyue was wearing a white fringed feather dress, holding her head high, revealing her white neck, and standing behind the microphone in an elegant posture, like a beautiful and noble white swan.

The lights turned on, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she swept around the guests below through the mask, obviously looking at everyone, but everyone felt that she was flirting with her eyebrows, and the tips of the hooked people's hearts trembled, and their eyes were reluctant to turn away.

Just when everyone was speculating about what dance she would dance tonight, music sounded backstage, and Song Lingyue held the microphone with one hand and sang a love song in a gentle and sweet tone, with a gentle and mellow voice, as if she was saying the most touching love words to her lover.

"Rose Rose I love you, Rose Rose affection ......"

At the end of the song, Song Lingyue took off the microphone and rotated to the center of the stage, several dance ladies wearing red dance clothes came to the stage at this time, formed a circle, and surrounded Song Lingyue in the middle.
