In memory, you smiling

Chapter 34 Cute child, did you cry today (1)
My dear, you are the treasure in my hand, as if wonderful notes surround me.

Hua Zuoyi looked up at the oversized poster for a long time.The woman is calm and dignified, like a blooming lily, sitting in front of Bösendorfer's piano, like a classical painting of a lady.The pair of pale and slender hands stretched slightly on the keys are world-class precious treasures.

Female pianist Ms. Fan Duo's final stop of the world tour, surrounded by fanatics, it is hard to get a ticket, just to see her beauty.I think so, she is a world-class pianist performing in front of the Queen's Palace. Not only ordinary fans flock to her, but even the rich and famous like to attend her concerts.If there were no insiders, it would be difficult for Hua Zoe to squeeze in.

She and her younger sister also learned piano in the past, but after the Hua family sold the expensive grand piano at home, she never touched these black and white keyboards again.Thinking about it this way, if she continues her studies, she might be able to become famous. Artistic talent can be inherited.

There was a commotion at the door, and Ms. Fan, who was more shining than a star, walked slowly along the red carpet under the protection of security guards.Even at an advanced age, she is still glamorous and radiant, and the passage of time in the corners of her eyes shows her noble arrogance even more, as if she is a queen, overwhelming all the current actresses.

Hua Zuoyi only took one look, and immediately became a fan of passers-by.

A group of little girls screamed and ran past her to chase after the stars. Hua Zuoyi took a step back with an unsteady center of gravity, and immediately there were hands behind her to support her.

"Be careful, beauty."

The man is tall and strong, like a wall that easily separates her from the frenzied crowd, he has always been a reliable teammate and helper.At this moment, he was wrapping his arms around her waist, placing her in the safest position in front of his chest.

Hua Zuoyi raised her head, met those eyes that were always smiling and would not change color even when the sky fell, and said, "Thank you, CQ."

Pulled gently by him, Hua Zoe, like a blooming lily, twirled lightly and stood in front of him.A blue mermaid dress, paired with glittering flower-shaped jewelry, made Hua Zoe bright and moving.

"My honor." He smiled. The crystal hanging lamps in the hall were not as bright as the smile of the beautiful woman in front of him.

The female is tall and the male is tall and straight, they are looking at each other and smiling, no matter who sees it, they will sincerely admire the couple.

I don't know which station's Yuji, found the two stand out among the fans, and took a picture of them staring at each other and smiling.

There are more and more people in the concert hall, and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies can be seen everywhere.Fan Duo has developed abroad for many years and has won many international awards. His fan base ranges from teenagers who don't understand music theory to highly respected musicians, and many of them are international celebrities who just got off the plane.

Hua Zuoyi somewhat understood why the young man who started a food delivery business in University A and practiced the piano for many years had to get her autograph.It's really cool to get Fan Duo's autograph.

"Are you going backstage?" Chu Qing asked her.

Hua Zuoyi shook her head, she was not ready yet.

"It's not too late after the performance."

Chu Qing didn't speak any more. In fact, Hua Zuoyi didn't understand why he remained calm until now.

When she said that she was going to see Fan Duo, this man who knew everything but kept secrets was not at all embarrassed by being exposed.Even if she couldn't help stabbing him later, he still didn't care.

The two had been together for so long, if she hadn't known about such an important matter, would Chu Qing have planned to keep it hidden and bring it into the coffin?This can't help but make Hua Zuoyi feel that Chu Qing is not as cheerful as he looks.

In contrast, Pan Kaichen is much more consistent.She looked down at the time, and she couldn't wait to meet him.I don't know what kind of expression I will have if I tell him what happened today.

The seats on the far side of the infield, closest to the stage, have traditionally been reserved for family members and special guests.Fan Duo's performances reserve the same space every time, but most of them are vacant until the end.

The woman on the stage is immersed in her own music world, she can completely forget the troubles and entanglements of the world, forget love and sorrow, and forget those in the Chu family who refused to forgive her.Therefore, when she glimpsed out of the corner of her eye that her stepson, who never talked to her, attended her last performance, she gave a slight pause.

The sound of Fan Duo's piano changed suddenly, and the audience sitting close to her thought that she was playing to the depths of love, and stared with bated breath.

Chu Qing twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain, and looked down at his female companion beside him, with another expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"I'm a little nervous." Hua Zuoyi whispered.

"It's not you who should be nervous." Chu Qing stroked Shanghua Zoe's cold hand with his big palm, comforting her.

At the end of the performance and the fifteen-hour-long curtain call, Fan Duo ended her career as a public musician, announcing that she has returned to her roots and returned to China for piano teaching.Everyone present was in an uproar.

Hua Zuoyi stood up like an ordinary audience and applauded enthusiastically, as if the person standing on the stage was her idol.

After the performance, there was a small private party, and Chu Qing took Hua Zuoyi there in a grand manner.The people invited were all friends in the industry who knew each other, and because it was the first time they appeared, the two were quickly surrounded by crowds.No one knew these two uninvited young men and women.

"Chu Qing, this way." Fan Duo's manager hurriedly pulled the two of them to a corner.

"Why, don't you welcome me?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

The manager, Ms. Gu, has followed Fan Duo since her debut, and now she has become an older sister Gu.Fan Duo's life experience has always been a secret.Even if she retreats now, a healthy and noble image can still make her go smoothly.Therefore, Fan Duo specifically told her to take good care of this stepson just now, but don't let the good things be ruined by this man who has not been in contact with him for several years and suddenly appeared.

"That's not what she meant. Xiao Gu, you can go help elsewhere." Fan Duo didn't know when she was standing next to the three of them. She had already changed into a blue gauze dress, looking young and elegant.

After dismissing the manager, Fan Duo excitedly took Chu Qing's hand.

"It's great of you to come, Qing'er."

"Qing'er...poof."

Hua Zuoyi laughed shamelessly, and Chu Qing glanced at her lazily.

Only then did Fan Duo notice the beautiful woman beside Chu Qing. Chu Qing rarely had a regular female companion, and never had anyone who could bring her to see her.Is she...

Chu Qing pushed Hua Zuoyi in front of Fan Duo.

"You can say it."

Hua Zuoyi smiled generously and decently, and said:
"Ms. Fan, our personal studio would like to ask you to sign a college student. He said that as long as you give him encouragement, he will have the confidence to start his own business. By the way, he is also a piano learner. Prepare to start a business for your own food delivery website.”

After talking about Hua Zuoyi, she also felt very abrupt. She never thought that the opening remarks with Fan Duo would be like this. Maybe she should introduce herself first.

Fan Duo's puzzled eyes fell on Hua Zuoyi. To be honest, she didn't hear what Hua Zuoyi said at all. She just felt that the girl in front of her was familiar no matter how she looked. Suddenly, her eyelids twitched, and she was stunned.

"You are……"

"Yes, she is your biological daughter."

Chu Qing folded his arms around his chest, still looking relaxed and at ease, completely ignoring the blockbuster he threw, which was enough to blast Fan Duo's retirement life into a crater.He hooked the corner of his mouth coldly, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

He has been waiting for this moment for many years, although the current version is very different from the previous plan.But the power to break the news with a thunderous thunder, please be sure to give it to him.

At that time, that's how he made an agreement with Hua Zuoyi.

Perhaps it is due to inheriting more inheritance from the father, plus living in a completely different family since childhood, there is almost no similarity in appearance, temperament and personality.Even if Fan Duo and Hua Zuoyi stand side by side, no one will find that they are indeed a pair of biological mother and daughter.

Since the discovery of this secret, he has kept it silently for almost ten years.Therefore, when Hua Zuoyi said that she wanted to meet Fan Duo and asked him to arrange it, Chu Qing seemed calm on the surface, but was actually shocked inwardly.He pondered Hua Zuoyi's expression calmly, trying to see how much she knew.

Hua Zuoyi continued: "The next client Qiao Lisi finds wants her autograph before she will start working."

"Is it so weird?" He asked casually.

"Yeah, I was originally a piano boy, and I made a professional takeaway website, and I still like Fan Duo very much."

Chu Qing still smiled, as if what she was talking about was just irrelevant gossip about a celebrity.

"However, I do want to see her. After all, she is your stepmother, my real mother."

He laughed even louder, covering his eyes with his big palms, as if tears came out of his laughter, and he even choked until he coughed twice before stopping.

"Where did you hear that, Zoe?"

"Not long ago, I met a mentor from my student days. He not only lent me a sum of money, but also told about my biological mother." Hua Zuoyi shrugged, seeing Chu Qing's subtle expression, "CQ, don't you think it's strange?" Strange, it turns out that we can still be considered brothers and sisters."

What a brother and sister, Chu Qing unnaturally turned his face away and looked out the window. At this moment, he was neither embarrassed by being exposed, nor guilty of concealing it, but felt that this kind of intimate address made him farther away from her.

He had imagined Zoe's reaction after knowing the truth, but he never expected such a calm and indifferent acceptance.Hua Zuoyi has indeed changed. Under the influence of Pan Kaichen, she has become more stable and active.What was a major blow to life at that time is just a joke now.That being the case, what did she think of him?
"Zoe, you have to understand, I didn't tell you because..."

Hua Zuoyi raised her hand and made a pause.

"I don't want to hear it, CQ, just help me arrange the meeting."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements. But I have a condition..." He suppressed all his smiles, thinking about what would happen if he put forward the condition for Hua Zuoyi and Pan Kaichen to break up.

In the end, he still couldn't speak out, and only put forward the joking condition: I must let me break the news.

"She is your own daughter."

Although it was just an unsubstantiated statement, it was enough to make Fan Duo lose all blood. Her slender and slender fingers trembled slightly after playing the piano for many years, and she wanted to take a step forward to confirm.Just then, someone called her.

"Ms. Fan, you are here!" Mo Lin from "People Weekly" walked towards the three of them excitedly, followed by Manager Gu.It could be seen that Manager Gu wanted to turn the reporter around several times, but Fan Duo was like a magnet to Mo Lin.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Manager Gu could only keep winking at the three of them from behind Mo Lin, blinking so hard that he was about to fall out of the window.

"Who are these people?" Mo Lin is very interested in the people around Fan Duo, not only because she was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with Fan Duo today, but also because she is really one of Fan Duo's fans.

Manager Gu quickly stood up, "Ms. Fan hopes that the interview will only focus on her professional field."

Mo Lin heard the meaning of the words and was a little displeased.

"Mr. Gu, please don't take me for Yuji. The reporters of our weekly magazine are very professional and know how to measure themselves."

"Naturally." Manager Gu hurriedly smiled, "I asked you to write about our Fan Duo after reading many of your personal interviews. What impressed me the most is your recent writing about Pan Kaichen, the second son of Huanyu."

Hua Zuoyi couldn't help snorting, she had also read this interview.

Can portray Mr. Pan who has no hobbies, is low-key and taciturn, and is sometimes so strict that he has no friends, that he is loved by young women, that he is so great that the earth turns around, that he is so cool that he will amaze everyone when he appears, and that there are no women in his emotional window. Friends don't have boyfriends, and they are always waiting to meet the diamond king of love around the corner.With great journalist skills, it would be a loss for the entertainment industry not to be an entertainment journalist.After reading the whole article, the three words "Pan Kaichen" were not directly written as the domineering president.

Before, Hua Zuoyi was curious about why Pan Kaichen accepted such an exclusive interview, but Mr. Pan just said lightly: "At that time, she found me through Wang just for the news introduction of the Tianyu mainland branch, and I only talked to her. 2 minutes."

Being able to expand a 2-minute conversation into an entire page, this Mo Lin has a good ability to expand sentences, and also has a built-in association function.If she writes an exclusive interview for Fan Duo, the white lotus must be in full bloom.

"Mr. Pan has been full of praise for this interview of mine, and invited me to have a chance to visit the headquarters of Xinguo Huanyu." Mo Lin is still recalling her successful work, although this evaluation is always in various ways and ideas. Ms. Wang, who married her boss, relayed it.

Fan Duo didn't care to listen to her talk.It was very difficult to conceal her origin and marriage.She managed to avoid those pervasive entertainment reporters for more than 20 years.If people find out that he gave birth to a daughter at the age of 16 and abandoned her today, the social image he has worked so hard to build will be ruined in one go.

Fan Duo's eyes turned to pleading, she knew that Chu Qing had always been at odds with her, so she could only transfer this kind of pleading to Hua Zuoyi.

Hua Zuoyi quickly understood what she meant, and nodded kindly.Chu Qing looked playfully at this "noble" woman who abandoned her daughter and ruined other people's marriages, and contempt flashed in her eyes.

"Reporter Mo, let's go there together. You can take good photos when Mr. Fan is giving a speech." Seeing this, Manager Gu hurriedly took Mo Lin away, and Fan Duo followed.

"You have heard Miss Hua's request, please help us when you have time." Chu Qing said behind her.

Fan Duo's back froze.

"Yes, definitely."

She had to leave, but she kept turning her head, as if to make sure that Hua Zuoyi had no intention of making a statement.

"Are you a little disappointed?" Chu Qing's body blocked the woman's hurtful gaze.

Hua Zuoyi smiled indifferently and shook her head.When she was left behind, she had no expectations.It's just a pity that the mother of the Hua family regretted that she didn't return her beloved adopted daughter to her biological mother until she died.

This indifferent statement made Chu Qing feel a strange bitterness in his heart.He frowned, trying to get rid of the feeling of abandonment that he felt, but because of the indifferent smile on Hua Zuoyi's face, he suddenly felt heartbroken.

Chu Qing took a deep breath, making himself look as normal as usual.

"Sometimes, I think you really don't care about anything."

"CQ, you know my situation. You have indeed encountered bad things in your life. If you care about everything, worry about everything, and keep it in your heart, you will die of cancer early."

After speaking, she looked at the time again.Even though she can laugh at her tortuous life, she still has something to worry about.

"I've been checking the time since just now, are you in a hurry to go back? I can send you off."

"I'll just go back by car."

"Having a boyfriend who makes the world go round doesn't seem like a good thing."

Hua Zuoyi knew that Chu Qing was teasing her.

"Hey, it's not a good thing for a man to be so stingy." Chu Qing shrugged pretendingly, and changed her subject, "If it were me, I would hope that my girlfriend would make more friends. You see, I treat every friend of yours with respect. That's fine, because he loves me. If he doesn't like your friend, he won't be part of your friend group. It doesn't do anyone any good."

"Thank you for your kind reminder." This was also what Hua Zuoyi was worried about.

But, kindly, there is no such organ in his body.

Chu Qing is good at deceiving people. He is stable and easy-going. He has a wide network of contacts and likes to help others. This can easily make people feel very reliable. He uses this to subtly integrate into Hua Zuoyi's life.The original plan was like this, but later even he himself forgot the original purpose.

"Zoe, have you considered..." He took a step closer and looked condescendingly at Zoe, who was a head shorter than him, "If I had told you everything I knew earlier, maybe..."

A loud noise covered Chu Qing's voice. Before she could figure out what happened, Hua Zuoyi felt a powerful force coming towards her, followed by the glass that was originally on the bar. But at this time, they have turned into thousands of fragments, covering the sky and covering the earth.
