Chapter 74: A long-lost passion
Seeing Qiao Shinian's eyebrows and eyes bent into a crescent moon shape, and the corners of his lips hooked upward, Huo Yanci's first reaction was not annoyance.
Except for the sneer and the successful laugh that teased him last time, Huo Yanci hadn't seen her show such a bright smile for a long time.
Although Qiao Shinian was just pretending, Huo Yanci still had a feeling that he didn't know how to describe it.
It's like something that has been taken for granted is now rare.
I was faintly unaccustomed to it.
"Don't worry, although you didn't take the card, it still belongs to you." Qiao Shi saw that Huo Yan had not spoken for a long time, so he added another sentence.
"Qiao Shinian, are you naΓ―ve?" Huo Yan sneered, "I just said, what you give you, what you do is your business." β
"I'm here to tell you that I have gone beforehand. Zhou Tiancheng has already dealt with last night's incident, and there will be no similar situation again. β
After speaking, Huo Yan left with his long legs.
Qiao Shinian stood in place and was stunned for a while.
Huo Yanci is a little strange today.
Not only did he help her speak twice, but he didn't get angry at her deliberate provocation?
Whatever, she never guessed his mind anyway.
Huo Yanci said that last night's incident had been dealt with, and Qiao Shinian was also relieved.
Just when Sister Tu called, she told Sister Tu the good news.
"No wonder!" Tu Yali said, "Xie Lixiong's distillery officially opened today, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was specially held, and many people were invited to the base. As a result, before the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, he was taken away by the police. β
"Now it's spread in the circle, and everyone is ridiculing him that he will be yellow when he opens, and it will not be smooth in the future."
"Shi Nian, Mr. Huo's efficiency is really high, what happened last night was dealt with today, it can be seen that he still attaches great importance to you!"
Tu Yali felt a little pity for Qiao Shinian's drunkenness at the last drinking party.
Although Qiao Shinian was drunk on purpose, she didn't fake the lonely look of standing alone on the dance floor.
Qiao Shinian said goodbye to Huo Yan, and Tu Yali also heard about it, she was not the one who would persuade everyone to divorce if she divorced herself.
After all, marriage has different feelings and meanings for everyone.
She did not mean to persuade or dissuade in this remark, but only to express her views in a matter-of-fact manner.
Regarding Tu Yali's words, Qiao Shinian thought of Huo Yanci's initiative to carry her last night, and pulled her lips and smiled, "Maybe." Of course, he has more important things and people. β
The night of the reception was the best proof of this.
Her aunt sent a message to urge her, and Qiao Shinian ended the call with Tu Yali.
Qiao Shinian walked to the dining table, and his aunt didn't have the kind smile on her face before, but said dissatisfiedly: "Have a meal, run out for so long, how many things do you have to be busy?" β
Qiao Shinian didn't have the energy to fight with her aunt, just as Huo Yan resigned, she said: "Uncle, aunt, I solemnly inform you that you should not ask Huo Yanci for help in business matters in the future." β
"Grandpa also said, our Qiao family's family background is not comparable to the Huo family, you always ask him for help, have you considered my feelings and situation?"
"Why didn't you take your feelings into account?" Qin Shuhong said unhappily, "For Huo Yanci, this kind of thing is a trivial matter to move his mouth, do you need to cover us with such a big hat?" β
"If he Huo Yan is really unwilling, what else can we do with him?" Qin Shuhong continued, "If you really want to be Mrs. Huo's position, you have to have a child as soon as possible, so that you can really gain a firm foothold!" β
Qiao Guosheng echoed and said: "Your aunt is right, you have been married for more than a year, why haven't you moved at all?" Have you had a physical check-up? β
Qiao Leyan added fuel and vinegar, "Could it be that my brother-in-law dislikes you and doesn't want to touch you!" β
Facing the preaching and mockery of their family of three, Qiao Shinian plucked out his ears, "Why should I gain a firm foothold in the Huo family?" β
Qin Shuhong looked at her suspiciously, "Fang Cai Le Yan said, you still want to divorce Huo Yan?" β
Qiao Shinian laughed, "Auntie, you always think that Qiao Leyan should marry Huo Yanci, if I don't get a divorce, where will she have a chance?" β
"You support me and Huo Yanci to divorce, and then let Qiao Le Yannu work hard, so that Huo Yanci will become your real son-in-law, and it will be more convenient for him to help with everything!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qiao Guo was so angry that he couldn't do it, "If the two daughters of the Qiao family marry Huo Yanci, the people outside don't know how to laugh at us!" Don't even think about divorce! Your grandfather is reluctant to beat you, and I won't be reluctant! β
ββ¦β¦β
After all, it was a restaurant, and Qiao Shinian didn't want to argue with them here.
They can listen to it if they can, and she can't do anything if they can't.
Anyway, she has already made her attitude clear, and her grandfather has no objection, and no one can stop her.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Qiao Shinian went to Mingmao.
It has now been admitted that the person who advertised on the website that they were selling counterfeit liquor was shoddy.
He drank other alcohol by mistake and caused alcohol poisoning.
Because the wine was brewed by himself, he didn't know that its quality was not up to par, so he misunderstood that there was a problem with Ming Mao's wine.
"It should be that he heard that Xie Lixiong was taken to assist in the investigation, and he didn't dare to make any more trouble." Tu Yali said.
"Now that the truth of the matter is revealed, it can be regarded as one less trouble."
Qiao Shinian was in a good mood and said, "I'm just waiting for Sister Tu to expand the market, and then prepare to go public!" β
Tu Yali naturally agreed.
Just as she was laughing with Tu Yali, Qiao Shinian's phone rang.
Looking at the number, it turned out to be Zhou Yangying, who had not been in contact for a few days.
"Little sister, we have successfully passed the primary selection and can officially enter the recording stage!"
As soon as she picked it up, Zhou Yangying happily told her the good news.
Qiao Shinian was also happy for him, "This is just the first step, you will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement and enter the finals!" β
"Little sister, are you free at night?" Zhou Yangying said, "KK friends have a new bar and want to invite us over to be lively, KK they want to invite you to come over and sit for a while." β
Speaking of which, it's nice to be with their young people, and it's easy to infect their vitality.
She didn't have any other arrangements for the evening, so Qiao Shinian nodded, "Okay." β
"Then let's meet at the bar in the evening!"
β¦β¦
In order not to want to have a few drinks, Qiao Shinian did not drive.
The bar that Zhou Yangying said was in a downtown area, and when Qiao Shinian arrived, Zhou Yangying was waiting for her at the door.
"Little sister." Seeing her, Zhou Yangying immediately greeted her.
Zhou Yangying's hair was obviously styled, and the clothes on his body were more fashionable than before.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you become handsome?" Qiao Shinian quipped.
Zhou Yangying touched his head a little embarrassedly, "After all, it's going to be a competition, and several of us have made makeup." β
"Yes, yes, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and you look a bit of a star now. If you're popular in the future, don't forget me! β
Ming Mao still has to ask Zhou Yang to be the spokesperson at that time, and this should not change.
Zhou Yangying was praised so that the tips of his ears were a little red, "Whether I am a star or not, it is impossible for me to forget the help that the young lady helped me." β
Qiao Shinian didn't hear it clearly, Zhou Yangying smiled again: "Little sister, let's go in." β
"Okay."
Because it was only a soft opening, most of the people who arrived at the bar were friends of the owner.
Many of them knew Zhou Yangying and greeted him.
"We've been a bar singer for a while, and we've met them." Zhou Yangying explained.
Qiao Shinian smiled and said, "You are not very old, but you have a lot of experience. β
Walking into the place close to the stage, KK and they also saw Qiao Shinian and greeted her one after another, and the atmosphere became lively all of a sudden.
After some jokes, it was Zhou Yang's turn to play on stage.
A few people sat in their own places with a look of enjoyment and ease, and began the rhythm of the music.
Zhou Yang should be the lead singer, naturally the most attention-grabbing.
He was wearing a simple and designed black T-shirt, his hair was slightly combed up, revealing a handsome forehead, and when he sang, his voice was affectionate and clear, his eyes were clear and clean, and the whole person really looked a little "princely".
They played two slow-paced love songs, and the music became rousing as soon as the drums beat to a beat.
Let Qiao Shi read the long-dusted music cell, a little nervous.
When she was a teenager, in order to relieve the pressure of studying, she also learned to play the drum kit for a few years, and the teacher at that time praised her learning ability and rhythm ability.
In the art show of freshmen in college, she also performed on stage, which attracted the attention of many students.
However, she learned that Huo Yanci didn't like noisy people, so she completely gave up this interest.
Strive to be a dignified, motivated and learning person, in order to keep up with the pace of Huo Yanci.
It's a pity that no matter what she does, Huo Yanci never has her in his eyes.
"Little sister, I remember you mentioned to me last time, you can play drums?"
Qiao Shinian was in a trance, and Zhou Yangying came to her side after singing at some point.
It was about the stage for him to enjoy, and at this moment, Zhou Yang Ying Qingjun's face was obviously free and confident.
Qiao Shinian was also infected a little, "Yes." β
"Then you can go up and come up for a while!"
Looking at the familiar drum kit on the stage, as well as Zhou Yangying's encouraging eyes, Qiao Shinian felt that his hands were really a little itchy.
"Come on, young lady!" KK on stage was also greeting.
Qiao Shinian stood up generously and said to KK, "I haven't played for a long time, in case I make a fool of myself, you are not allowed to laugh at me!" β
"Little sister play boldly with confidence, with us!"
"That's it, it's okay to make a mistake, anyway, it's just fun, just have fun!"
The encouragement of her friends gave Qiao Shinian confidence, she took the drum stick and sat in front of the drum kit.
She first knocked on the circle one by one to warm up, and then turned the drum stick in her fingers handsomely, causing the audience below to scream.
"Little sister, what song do you want?" Zhou Yang should ask.
Qiao Shi thought for a moment, ""The Sea and the Sky." She used to practice this old song and was more familiar with it.
"Okay." Zhou Yangying signaled to his partners, he didn't lead the singer, but took out his mobile phone to record the photo.
The track is decided, and the music starts quickly.
Qiao Shinian raised her arm and knocked down the drum surface hard, her fingers flew on the drum surface, instantly releasing endless vitality and rhythm.
At the climax, the drum beat is full of power and passion, and the drum sound is like a rushing torrent, majestic and mighty, which makes people excited.
Qiao Shinian felt that he had returned to the worryless and happy time of his youth.
The hand fight is getting more and more hearty.
After the song, thunderous applause rang out from below.
Qiao Shinian raised the drum stick in his hand, smiled and thanked everyone, and then high-fived his partners to express their happy cooperation.
When she stepped down, the smile on her face never fell.
"Little sister, you played so well." Zhou Yang should praise sincerely.
