The devil is by your side

Chapter 177 The Dusty Secret

After the game, there is a dedicated dressing room for the backstage host.

"Damn it, why are you so useless! Wouldn't you create more pressure on the scene and force Xia Luoluo to give up? Do you know that I was almost able to defeat her!" Tang Yuxi was furious He stared at the host Lily.

"Miss Tang, I took your money, but I also ask you to make it clear that the agreement between us is that when I read out the questions Charlotte has drawn, no matter what the test questions she draws, I will announce them in public. The test question she got was 'lie'." Lily's face was also ugly, and she stared back at Tang Yuxi without fear, "I have already done what you asked, what else do you want? There are many unknown situations at the competition site Happened, this is not something I, a little host, can control, you have the ability to teach a lesson to all the people who chose to support Xia Luoluo in the end? What's the point of you embarrassing me here?"

"You!" Tang Yuxi had nothing to say when she was refuted by Lili's words.

No matter how unwilling Tang Yuxi was, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.She lost, she cared about losing to Charlotte, and could only watch Charlotte fight back, turn defeat into victory, and finally won the championship, taking away the crown that belonged to the winner.

Just as Xia Luoluo guessed, on the day before the start of the competition, Tang Yuxi found the host Lili, bought her a lot of money, and asked her to use this "lie" test question no matter which question Xia Luoluo drew at the competition scene Come and make things difficult for Charlotte.

It's just that she didn't expect that the result was far beyond her expectation.

Tang Yuxi slammed the door angrily and walked out of the dressing room.

As soon as she walked out of the dressing room, Tang Yuxi ran into Xia Luoluo and Long Zeye.

Xia Luoluo was surrounded by other players at the center, and everyone looked enviously at the crown on Xia Luoluo's head.

This time, Tang Yuxi was even more angry.

With black resentment exuding all over her body, she pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of Charlotte.

"This crown should not belong to you at all!"

"It shouldn't belong to me, should it belong to you?" Xia Luoluo looked at Tang Yuxi mockingly.

She lowered her voice, leaned close to Tang Yuxi's ear and whispered, "Don't think I don't know about the deal between you and Madam Long."

"You... What nonsense are you talking about!" Tang Yuxi took a step back, looked at Xia Luoluo warily, and thought to herself, Xia Luoluo wouldn't tell this in public, would she?But she has no actual evidence, even if she tells it, few people will believe it.

"Are you talking nonsense? You know it in your heart. By the way, I didn't find out this matter, but it was thanks to Brother Long's help." Xia Luoluo cast a grateful look at Long Zeye.

Today, the Ouyang Council came to ask questions, all thanks to Long Zeye's secret investigation.

Tang Yuxi followed Xia Luoluo's gaze, and immediately met Long Zeye's dark and deep eyes.

Looking at Long Zeye's dark eyes, Tang Yuxi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Everything she did for Long Zeye, in the end, in Long Zeye's eyes, became synonymous with unscrupulous, vicious and vicious.

Tang Yuxi's figure was on the verge of falling, she took two steps back, her high heels slipped, and she almost fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Suddenly, a pair of powerful arms stretched out from behind, and caught Tang Yuxi steadily, which prevented Tang Yuxi from making a fool of herself in public.

Long Zeye's eyes fell on the person who helped Tang Yuxi just now, his eyes tightened, he immediately stood up straight, and said seriously: "Mr. Tang, long time no see, you...why are you here?"

Mr. Tang?Many greetings flashed in Xia Luoluo's heart, and she looked at the man.

The man is tall, slender, fair-skinned, and light-colored. He must be of mixed race. His facial features are very deep, and combined together, there is an indescribable elegance and charm. You can't tell from his face alone. Actual age.There was an elegant and indifferent smile on the man's face, seemingly friendly, but in fact he kept a safe distance from everyone, cold and alienated.

Seeing the man for the first time, Xia Luoluo felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, which made her heart beat faster, as if the man was born with some inexplicable attraction to her, and she couldn't help but want to near.

Charlotte forcibly suppressed the strange feeling rising in her heart.

Just now Long Zeye called him Mr. Tang, and his appearance just helped Tang Yuxi. Could it be that he is Tang Yuxi's legendary father, Tang Luoyi, Mr. Tang, who is said to be the godfather of American finance?

When Xia Luoluo was looking at Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang's eyes also fell on Xia Luoluo.

The girl in front of me is petite and small, with a childish baby fat face, a pair of big eyes like black grapes, watery, two small dimples at the corners of the mouth, the corners of the mouth are naturally slightly raised, it looks like a girl The optimist exudes a strong affinity all over his body, making people want to get closer.

This feeling was so strange and familiar that he almost mistook the person.

Mr. Tang's gaze finally fell on the crown on Charlotte's head.

Seeing this crown, Mr. Tang's gaze changed instantly.

With a strong nostalgia that cannot be suppressed and a blazing heat that can ignite everything.

Mr. Tang's gaze made Xia Luoluo a little nervous, and she quietly shrank behind Long Zeye.

Long Zeye frowned slightly, he had never seen such an expression on the face of this calm big man.

"Daddy?" Tang Yuxi was the first to recover. She looked at Mr. Tang who suddenly appeared behind her, with a frightened and fragile look on her face.

Hearing Tang Yuxi's voice, Mr. Tang came back to his senses.

Mr. Tang supported Tang Yuxi, patted the back of her hand, and handed her over to Anna beside her. The expression on his face had returned to normal.

He nodded slightly to Long Zeye, then glanced at Xia Luoluo who was hiding behind Long Zeye, and slowly said to the two: "I have something to talk to you, please come with me."

"Yes." I didn't know what Mr. Tang wanted to talk to them, but he didn't want to save the big man's face, so he nodded and agreed.

"Susan, Yuxi is tired, take her down to rest." Mr. Tang said to Chief Secretary Su Shan.

"Yes." Susan nodded.

Tang Yuxi was not happy anymore, "Daddy, I want to go with you too."

Mr. Tang did not speak, but glanced at Susan.

Susan immediately understood, quickly grabbed Tang Yuxi, and forced her to walk out the backstage door.

"Yu Xi, just listen to your father and go back and have a good rest."

Regardless of Tang Yuxi's struggle, she insisted on taking her away.

"Let's talk in the VIP room." Mr. Tang turned around and walked out first.

Long Zeye and Xia Luoluo couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so they had to follow behind him, full of doubts, and walked towards the VIP room.

When he came to the VIP room, Mr. Tang closed the door, turned around, and said straight to the point: "Miss Xia, can I see your crown?"

"The crown?" Charlotte touched the crown on her head subconsciously.

It turned out that Mr. Tang's fiery gaze was not looking at her just now, but the crown on her head!

"Okay." Charlotte took off the crown on her head.

To be honest, from winning the championship and wearing this crown to now, she hasn't taken a good look at this old thing that belongs to her mother.

Charlotte rubbed the crown in her hand, her eyes became softer, it's so good, what belonged to her mother before, now belongs to her.

Charlotte handed the crown to Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang took the crown carefully, rubbed it lightly, and his eyes became distant and affectionate, as if looking at someone through the crown, recalling a certain unforgettable memory.

Seeing Mr. Tang's appearance deep in memory, Xia Luoluo secretly thought, did Mr. Tang know his mother, which is why he showed this expression?

Thinking of this, Charlotte immediately asked, "Mr. Tang, do you know the previous owner of this crown?"

Hearing Xia Luoluo's words, Mr. Tang woke up from his memories.

As soon as he looked up, he met Charlotte's big water eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing these extremely similar eyes, Mr. Tang was startled for a moment, almost feeling like time and space intertwined. The girl in front of him seemed to overlap with the same bright and charming girl more than ten years ago.

"Yes, I know the owner of this crown." Mr. Tang smiled wryly, lowered his eyelashes, and let out a soft sigh from his lips.

His fingers stroked the two small letters on the inside of the crown.

"See these two letters? L&; L, Lan Ruoran, Luo Yi."

Xia Luoluo looked along the place Mr. Tang pointed, and sure enough, there were two small letters L on the inside of the crown.

Luo Yi... Could it be that the other L on the inside of the crown refers to Mr. Tang? !

This guess shocked Charlotte extremely.

Next, Mr. Tang's words confirmed Xia Luoluo's guess.

"When I was young, I attended high school at the Saint Laurent Royal Academy for three years." Mr. Tang recalled, "At that time, I was just an unrecognized illegitimate child of the Tang family. Luo was my mother's surname. I don’t even have the qualifications to be named Tang. My mother named me Luo Yi, hoping that I could become No.1 in whatever I do. I have lived up to her expectations since I was a child. No matter what I do, I study and behave myself That’s right, I will always be the best in the eyes of others, but I know that this is not the real me, it’s just me pretending, I just don’t want my mother to be disappointed, so I put on a mask of a top student.”

Mr. Tang showed a wry smile.

"What happened next?" Charlotte asked.

She desperately wanted to know what happened later, and she had a hunch that it was definitely related to her mother!
"Later, one afternoon, when I was resting in the corner of the woods, I accidentally heard a melodious piano sound. Among them, the person who plays the piano has the purest heart, and the sound of the piano also brings an indescribable sense of indifference and happiness. I walked in the direction of the sound of the piano and found a new music classroom built in the corner of the campus. That's where the music came from."

Recalling this, Mr. Tang showed a faint smile on his face.

"As if attracted by fate, I always come here involuntarily during my lunch break every day, listening to people playing the piano in the music classroom. The sound of the piano always makes me feel calm, whether it is listening to the sound of the piano while reading a book, Sleeping for a while always makes me feel better. This has become the most secret and happy secret in my heart, and this kind of time has been with me for two full years. I didn't want to find out who was playing the piano. I felt that I Such a person with a glamorous appearance and a dark heart is not worthy of disturbing an angel who can play such a natural sound. But I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to appear in front of me."
