73. The past
Everyone in the lobby suddenly cast all kinds of eyes on Lin Qinglin, and most of them had the mentality of watching a play.
I want to see the contest between the daughter of the original match and the illegitimate daughter.
"Yes, sister, if you have a rare opportunity, don't let everyone spoil your fun." Yan Manxia smiled kindly, she wanted to see if Lin Qinglin could still play the piano.
Although she didn't know the reason, she did hear her parents say that Lin Qinglin couldn't play the piano anymore.
With everyone's eyes, Lin Qinglin walked to the grand piano in the center of the stage step by step and sat down elegantly.
Play? She couldn't do it for a long time, and the eyes of others were like sharp swords, piercing her self-esteem.
"Actually, I haven't played the piano in many years, but today it seems to be a difficult thing to say."
She put her hands on the piano, she didn't need any sheet music, the melody kept echoing in her head, but her stiff fingers didn't seem to help her fly freely on the keys.
A song "In Praise of Love" started with a lot of wrong notes, and the audience used strange eyes, even if they haven't played the piano for many years, it shouldn't be at this level?
Even Qin Shiyi frowned tightly, he had seen her play the piano, the kind of confidence that could show a knowing smile when she closed her eyes and enjoyed the process.
And not like the expressionless face now, the eyes are full of pain and far-fetched.
Halfway through the bounce, Lin Qinglin's fingers twitched uncontrollably, stopping all movements, and she saw that the audience was full of sneering faces.
"Obviously have such a good talent, but it's a pity, I'm with you." At this time, in the crowd, a man in a tuxedo suddenly realized and sat beside her generously, but Lin Qinglin didn't know what his identity was.
"It's okay for us to go slowly." The man had a handsome face and a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano, and he slowly took the clumsy Lin Qinglin to a four-handed joint play.
has a thorough understanding of music, so Lin Qinglin knows very well how to cooperate with him, and a perfect piece of music ripples in the banquet hall.
Yan Manxia is unwilling, why can she always have such good luck, can't she play the piano with her hands? There was even someone to help her!
After finishing the song, the man got up and bowed to the people around him to thank him, turned around and said "happy cooperation" to Lin Qinglin, and then suddenly disappeared.
No one knows who he is or who he is.
"Okay, I'm ugly, I'm sorry I haven't touched the piano much in the past few years, and I hope you don't embarrass me anymore, the music continues to hope you have a good time tonight." Got up, a proper smile raised at the corner of her mouth at those who wanted to see her laugh.
There was no annoyance, no resentment, self-deprecation adjusted the atmosphere to round the field, her performance was even more atmospheric, and people couldn't help but have a good impression of her.
Let Yan Manxia win face, she can just ask for the inside.
"Who was the man just now?"
Lin Qinglin quietly disappeared into the crowd, Qin Shiyi found her squatting on the ground in the garden and crying like a child, and the footsteps that originally walked towards her stopped.
Slightly trembling shoulders, sobbing silently, so helpless and desperate.
"Why are you crying?"
"I can't play the piano anymore, I can't play the piano for the rest of my life." kept muttering to himself, and the hidden scars in his heart were completely peeled off and exposed in front of everyone.
"Why can't you play the piano?" It was the third time he had asked her the same question, and it seemed that there was something behind it that he didn't know about.
“……”
"Qinglin, speak."
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't control my emotions for a while, and I'm fine now." Regarding those painful pasts, she didn't want Qin Shiyi to know.
"Who was that man just now?" As soon as the topic changed, he came because he cared about the mysterious man before.
"I don't know him either." Because the time was so short, so short that I didn't even see what he looked like.
"Don't think about it alone, if you really don't like it, go home first." Why stay here and suffer.
……
The celebration banquet in the evening was a complete success, and Yan Manxia shook off everyone who originally wanted to chat with Qin Shiyi alone, but only his cold back.
She is also a young lady anyway, except that he didn't dare to do this to her!
"You have to lose your temper even for such a trivial matter, let alone Qin Shiyi, no one will be able to stand you." Li Meifang saw her uncontrollable emotions and hated iron and steel on the side.
Qin Shiyi has no shortage of women, if he can't even be patient and obedient, he is not worthy of staying by his side, and he doesn't want to be replaced, so he has to be more tolerant than others.
Why didn't Yan Manxia inherit his shrewdness at all!
"Mom! Why do you want to say that about me! Didn't you see Qin Shiyi standing with her today? This is what she cares about, she was completely brainwashed last time, she doesn't believe that Qin Shiyi is not affected at all.
"So what? You know that it's good to remember that his girlfriend is you today! ”
"Humph!"
"Manxia, you can't be so simple, don't let the people around you directly see what you're thinking at any time, especially in front of Qin Shiyi."
"I see."
Li Meifang didn't know what she knew, and she was vaguely worried.
If I can win Lin Shuying, my daughter will definitely win Lin Qinglin, she believes so.
……
On the other side, Qin Shiyi followed Yan Yuecheng to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, he came to listen to him and find clues about the cause of his mother's death.
"What the hell are you trying to tell me?"
"Shi Yi, I'm sorry for you, I'm really sorry for you." Yan Yuecheng didn't say anything yet, so he wiped his tears and apologized with a shy old face.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Do you remember what your mom did?"
“…… She works as a receptionist in a small hotel. When it came to his mother, Qin Shiyi's expression was full of sadness.
I have the impression that my mother is very busy every day in order to make money, and a hotel job is not enough, and she has to work another job to support the two of them.
"Yes, later this hotel was acquired by Shu Ying that year." When it came to Lin Shuying, Yan Yuecheng looked heartbroken.
"What does it have to do with her?"
“…… Back then, Qin Juntian's wife didn't keep her two children, what do you think she would think of your mother, whether Qin Juntian and her are still in contact with her or not, your mother's existence itself makes her uncomfortable, so she spent a lot of energy investigating your mother.
It took a lot of effort to find the place where she worked, deliberately looking for your mother's stubble, and framing your mother for having unclean hands and feet.
At that time, Shu Ying had just acquired this hotel, and it was impossible for her to offend Mrs. Qin for a small employee, so she fired her cleanly.
With the taint of stealing, there is no possibility that your mother will find a new job.
So in the end, after countless failed interviews, I finally couldn't resist the pressure and died in a car accident, which was an accident.
But...... If, if Lin Shuying didn't do it so resolutely at the beginning, she might not be a tragedy. At the end of the story, Yan Yuecheng sighed.
"How do you know that?" Qin Shiyi's expression was still calm after hearing this, and people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Isn't it surprising? It is natural to be suspicious, the driver who helped Mrs. Qin drive back then helped me drive for a while, and these things are only recently known, if you want to know other details, I might as well arrange for you to meet. ”
Because Yan Yuecheng was too sure, he was sure that Qin Shiyi didn't have half a bit of doubt.
"I know, I will continue to confirm the rest of the matter, thank you Manager Yan for telling me this, in exchange for your money for embezzling Bohua, I won't tell Lin Qinglin, but please stop here."
In business, Qin Shiyi and Yan Yuecheng are just a cooperative relationship, and they take what they need from each other.
It's just that he never considered Lin Qinglin's situation, and he didn't care whether her interests were harmed.
But in fact, the truth that Yan Yuecheng said was not all, it was indeed Mrs. Qin's trouble, and Lin Shuying personally ordered the expulsion.
She may know that Qin Shiyi's mother was wronged, but she had no better way to prove her innocence, and gave her a very generous compensation, which was enough for her to support her for several months so that she had more time to find the next job, not deliberately embarrassed, and even wrote a letter of recommendation.
On the contrary, Mrs. Qin killed her and promoted her "bad deeds" in the industry, even if Lin Shuying endorsed Qin Shiyi's mother's character, no one in the industry dared to use her.
It has nothing to do with what kind of person she is, everyone doesn't want to provoke the Qin family, so Qin Shiyi's mother can only be a victim, even if she has not begged him once after being abandoned by Qin Juntian.
Helplessly, the world makes people.
These truths are undoubtedly another devastating blow to Qin Shiyi.
If everything is true, then how should he face Lin Qinglin?
Finally convinced himself that his heart was going with the flow, and he seriously thought about the possibility of starting over, but a truth completely shattered his illusions.
Yes, his mother died in a car accident and has nothing to do with Lin Shuying.
But...... didn't kill Beren, but Beren died because of her, how could he act as if nothing had happened?
and Lin Qinglin, it is impossible in this life, and he will definitely get his mother's justice back for her.
"Shi Yi, I know that this may be inappropriate, it has been so long, and Shu Ying has already left, so ...... Don't blame Qinglin too much, she, she is also my child after all. Yan Yuecheng kept saying "Don't blame", but he emphasized Qinglin's existence.
If Qin Shiyi could still have calm now, he would definitely think a little more, but hatred and anger had already filled his heart.
If he didn't hate, how could he be worthy of his mother's painful daily and nightly life?
