Genius Remembers Love in One Second/Little? This is a wonderful novel for you to read.
Now that Shi Shijie had seen Luoqiu, it was not difficult for him to remember Luoqiu.
He had served the Zhang Family for dozens of years, and had done more than 20 things in the business world. Of course, he had mastered the skill of recognizing people.
What's more, this was the only classmate of the only bloodline in the Zhang Family.
To put it bluntly, how could the Old Lady allow her granddaughter to go to school alone? Not only did she keep it a secret, but she had also investigated the people in the school.
Shi Shijie thought that Zhang Qingrui had mentioned this classmate to the Old Lady during the past one or two years. But she didn't know that the Old Lady had investigated this classmate thoroughly.
Zhang Lilanfang couldn't be blamed for doing these things. Zhang Lilanfang, who called herself the Old Lady, was actually old but not old. She had been an orphan and a widow for so many years. If she didn't keep the mentality of being a young lady of the Li Family, how could she settle down in this place?
In the eyes of Zhang Lilanfang, even though she had never seen this classmate before, he could be classified as a person with a clean family background. Therefore, even though her granddaughter occasionally mentioned this classmate, Zhang Lilanfang didn't say anything.
Zhang Qingrui once commented in front of the Old Lady that this classmate of hers was a rare quiet person.
There were many standards to evaluate a person, such as smart, kind, enterprising, ambitious, gentle and so on. But she especially used the word "quiet". So Zhang Lilanfang was relieved.
…
"Miss, you invited Mr. Luo here, right?" Shi Shijie recognized him, so he took the initiative to ask with a smile.
His intention was good … but apparently, he did something bad in Zhang Qingrui's eyes out of kindness. But since he said that, Zhang Qingrui could only say helplessly, "Kind of …"
Who knew what this extraordinary 'classmate' in front of him would do if he said no?
Don't you see how easy it is for this guy to summon wandering souls and ghosts, and how easy it is for him to erase my memories?
He was simply mysterious and unfathomable!
"Since you're here, come in." Shi Shijie looked at Luoqiu and said politely, "Mr. Luo, sorry for bothering you last time. I'll have a drink with you later as an apology."
Hmm … It was probably the dream of countless people to make General Manager Shi of the Zhang Family Financial Group act so courteously.
It was just that social status and wealth were not as valuable as a ball with a story to the club's boss. However, Luoqiu did not intend to reject the kindness of others.
So be it if you show up. You just have to enter — it's a vanity fair inside.
Hearing about it was one thing, but experiencing it firsthand was a completely different matter.
"You haven't told me … why did you let that girl in?" Ms. Zhang lowered her voice and asked Luoqiu.
She had spent a lot of effort on this birthday banquet. Now, before she could figure out the situation, she just wanted this banquet not to be ruined.
God knows what this guy, who came and went as he pleased in the underground palace of Ulan Bator, was secretly planning.
"There might be some minor issues." Luoqiu glanced at the crowd, suddenly saying, "But don't worry, I'll send a gift to your grandmother as compensation."
"Something, something small?"
Luoqiu said indifferently, "You'd better not get too close to me. The longer you stay, the more people will see me."
Zhang Qingrui cast a glance at Luoqiu, "You're a good person, who can't see you?"
Luoqiu himself also spent some time to figure out the problem of the sense of existence. Naturally, he was not in the mood to explain anything to her, "Just leave me alone. Your grandmother is looking at me, you can go."
"Okay, okay."
Zhang Qingrui had to listen to Luoqiu for the time being with slight hesitation in her heart. However, Ms. Zhang could not rest assured. She kept looking back on the way to her grandmother.
But even if not everyone noticed this, there were still some who noticed this scene.
Who was this young man? How could he come in accompanied by Ms. Zhang and Shi Shijie?
Ms. Zhang kept looking back … like a little girl, as if she was reluctant to part with her lover.
Huh … Where was he? He seemed to be here just now. How could he disappear all of a sudden?
"Young master, he should be Ms. Zhang's friend. We met in Gu Yue Zhai last time." Cheng Yun suddenly whispered in Zhong Luochen's ear.
Zhong Luochen glanced at his grandfather who also noticed this scene. He made a gesture of silence without saying anything, as if there was no ripple in his heart.
While Old Zhong was lost in thought, Zhang Lilanfang saw her granddaughter walking towards them.
Old Mrs. Zhang grasped her granddaughter's hand, smiling slightly, "Don't you want to introduce your friend to me?"
Zhang Qingrui didn't want her old grandmother to know such weird things. She then said, "He … he's shy."
She hoped that Luoqiu didn't hear it … She glanced at Luoqiu subconsciously, but she didn't see him … She finally saw the back of the girl who was let in, walking towards the orchestra.
The young violinist in the orchestra suddenly walked out. Well, it was the intermission time.
Seeing Zhang Qingrui's little movement, Zhang Lilanfang suddenly said, "Dance with me for the first dance."
"OK." Zhang Qingrui nodded.
This was the last part before the toast.
…
…
Fang Jiping saw Manman appear in front of him, feeling very surprised … but Fang Ruchang's expression seemed to be a little unhappy.
Fang Jiping loved this girl very much, but didn't dare to mention it to Fang Ruchang. However, Manman was here, so Fang Jiping didn't have the heart to pretend not to know her. Under the pressure of Fang Ruchang's gaze, he pulled Manman out. It was a small room for tableware in the banquet hall.
"Manman? Why are you here? "Fang Jiping grasped Manman's hands, asking with a smile.
Looking at Fang Jiping who was obviously happy because of her arrival, Manman smiled sweetly subconsciously, but soon her face became serious.
Xiao Man moved her lips and suddenly called out, "Baby Tiger …"
The joy of his girlfriend's appearance seemed to freeze at this moment. He almost instinctively let go of her hands, but soon pretended not to know, "What did you say?"
"Sure enough …"
Seeing Fang Jiping's reaction at this moment, Manman opened her mouth, looking at Fang Jiping up and down seriously, "Jiping … look at this first."
"But you have to calm down." Manman took a deep breath, taking out her mobile phone, clicking on the video from a strange public account in her wechat moments, putting it in Fang Jiping's hand.
— Your son, where is he?!
It was clear enough to recognize the two people in the video … The heart-wrenching scream, crossing the guardrail, and finally falling into the water. The person who was struggling in the water.
And that … heartless man.
Fang Jiping's hands trembled meaninglessly, and the video in front of him also swayed.
"I don't know who took the video, but the person in the video should be your father, right?" Manman hesitated, "Yesterday, didn't I say I met a drowning aunt? It seems to be the one in the video. Yang Ping … Jiping, do you know? "
The mobile phone silently fell from Fang Jiping's hands to the ground, his eyes turning slightly red suddenly.
When Manman was about to pick up the phone, a person suddenly broke in, picking up the phone at a faster speed, and clicked on the video again.
His face suddenly became panicked, "How … how … who took the video …"
Fang Ruchang!
…
He looked at Fang Jiping's expression, seeing a girl he had never seen make Fang Jiping so happy, he had some guesses in his mind. She was somewhat angry that Fang Jiping was secretly dating such an ordinary girl behind her back.
Or … it was a kind of uneasiness that was out of his control.
Fang Ruchang followed them, hiding outside the door to eavesdrop on their conversation … but he heard the conversation that made his hands and feet cold, and the faint sound of the video.
Almost at all costs, Fang Ruchang was eager to find out what the video content that frightened him and made him fall into extreme uneasiness was — he exposed himself.
"You … you lied to me." Fang Jiping raised his head, looking at the uneasy man in front of him.
Fang Ruchang wanted to say something … but what could he say? This video was like an irrefutable evidence.
"You lied to me!!!!" Fang Jiping suddenly went crazy, grabbing Fang Ruchang's collar with both hands, pushing him to the wall, yelling angrily, "You lied to me!! What did you tell me?! You said she left after taking your money … but, but you actually, you actually … how could you do this to her!! You … how could you do this to her! You beast!! "
He had never seen Fang Jiping so ruthless. That kind of anger seemed to be able to swallow him at any time. Fang Ruchang was more flustered, "Jiping, listen to me … I, I did this kind of thing because of a moment of confusion."
"A moment of confusion … a moment of confusion?" Fang Jiping was extremely furious, "That's a human life! How could you so easily … you beast!! "
He directly grabbed Fang Ruchang and was about to walk out.
"You … what are you going to do?" Fang Ruchang was frightened.
"You killed her on purpose … I won't let you go!"
Fang Ruchang was frightened, "Don't … Jiping! Even if you don't do it for the sake of the monk, at least remember who saved you from the hands of the human traffickers back then. In the past 20 years, have I ever treated you badly when I gave you books and taught you? I, I was just confused for a moment. I was afraid that this woman would take you away from me … "
Fang Jiping sneered, "You put it nicely. You're just afraid of letting the Wu Family know your dirty deeds!"
Fang Ruchang knew that once he was pulled out of the door by Fang Jiping, everything would lead to the worst ending. He had no choice but to continue pleading, "Jiping, listen to me … I know I'm wrong this time. But I can make it up! How about this? I'll kneel down in front of Yang Ping and admit my mistake. We'll take good care of her. I promise I won't play any tricks again! Think about it, if this thing is exposed, what's the benefit for you? The Wu Family won't let me go, but will they let you go? Think about it, I admit my mistake. We'll take care of Yang Ping together. You're still my son. You can go further on the road of being a violinist … If you like this girl, you can marry her. Everything can change for the better. "
Hearing this, Manman couldn't help getting angry, "You … how can you be so shameless!"
Fang Ruchang hurriedly knelt down, begging bitterly, "For the sake of our 20 years of friendship, at least give me a chance to correct my mistake … I beg you, at least after today, let me admit my mistake in front of your mother, please! If, if your mother doesn't forgive me, then … then take me to the police station! I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong! "
Looking at Fang Ruchang who kept kowtowing on the ground, Fang Jiping suddenly became a little sad. He subconsciously looked at Manman.
Manman glanced at Fang Jiping with a complicated expression, saying helplessly, "You decide …"
"After the banquet, you have to go to the hospital with me! Tell me clearly what you've done! " Fang Jiping gritted his teeth, lifting Fang Ruchang up with one hand, looking a little indifferent, "For the sake of your 20 years of upbringing me."
"OK, OK." Fang Ruchang didn't care about the change of status between them.
He just thought that as long as Fang Jiping didn't act impulsively, there would still be a chance — He was too clear about Fang Jiping's indecisive character.
…
"There will be a dance later, after the performance, I'll go with you immediately."
Walking out of the tea room, Fang Ruchang, who was afraid that Fang Jiping would suddenly change his mind, promised again. Fang Jiping, with a fretful face, didn't respond.
Manman also kept silent.
Fang Jiping tidied up his clothes. The emcee of the banquet was now announcing the next dance in a heavy tone.
"… In this splendid evening, our famous conductor, Mr. Fang Ruchang, will lead his orchestra to present Edgar's Salute of Love to Mrs. Zhang! Applause, please! "
Thunderous applause.
However, the lights were completely dimmed at this moment. In the huge banquet hall, only a beam of spotlight cast down, but it fell on the piano in the corner.
No one knew when the piano changed its position. At this moment, the back of the piano was facing everyone, as if there was a person sitting there.
However, the top of the piano completely blocked the person's appearance. In the dark, under the magnesium light, the position of the piano was particularly eye-catching.
He had already begun to play, and a few notes slowly flowed out. A young and powerful voice slowly sounded through the venue's sound system.
"Special program, please spare some time." The piano player said softly, "A short story."
Since it was a special program … it should be arranged by the host of the banquet?
Everyone listened attentively … Even though the sound of the piano was a little jerky in the eyes of those who knew the ropes.
Zhang Lilanfang glanced at her granddaughter, smiling softly, "What did you arrange for me?"
Zhang Qingrui … Miss Zhang didn't arrange this program. She was only able to identify the owner of the voice with her excellent hearing.
Just as she was about to say something in hopes of redeeming the situation, after a heavy note, the person playing the guqin began to speak again.
"In a small and quiet village, the woman's husband left her very early. He said he went out to work, but no one came back. Not long after, the woman heard that the man had a new family and a kid. The woman didn't know if her husband would come back, but she knew that she had lost contact with her husband. "
The sound of the zither played softly, as if it was whispering something.
"She went out to look for him for a long time. Finally, in despair, she returned to the quiet village where she lived. The woman looked at her kid, a very small kid. The kid was strong and had a pair of beautiful eyes. The woman's family persuaded her to remarry, but the condition was that she couldn't take the kid with her. She gave up. She planned to raise the kid alone. "
The music sped up.
"She took all the work alone, whether it was farm work or family management. Life was hard, but it passed day by day. When the woman thought that she could raise the kid in this way, the fickleness of fate tortured her again. Her kid, who was less than three years old, contracted a serious illness. To her, this was a burden that she could not bear. She borrowed money from her neighbors and tried every method she could think of, but she could not gather enough money to let her child survive the illness. The woman later made a decision that she regretted for the rest of her life. "
The piano suddenly slowed down.
"The village was not quiet later. I don't know when it started, but a few outsiders came to the village. They started a gambling business in the village. The small square dice had six different points, one, two, three, four, five, and six. These points seemed to have endless magic. They could make people earn more than a year's income overnight; they could also make people lose a year's income overnight … They seemed to be the woman's last hope. "
Accompanied by the piano, some people held their breath, as if they could already see the woman walking in with hope, but coming out with even greater despair … After all, this kind of thing happened too often.
The people here had heard of such things, but they had never experienced it. They suddenly felt that in this environment accompanied by the piano, there was a sense of security across the glass when they heard such a story.
"This was a gamble, and the woman succeeded. What she didn't expect was that she had won enough money to cure her child from this gamble. Not long after, the woman's child appeared in front of her again, healthy and healthy. But life didn't seem to get better because of this. "
The soft voice turned into a low complaint again.
"The woman didn't know when it started. Maybe because of the first try, she got addicted to gambling. The money came too fast, so fast that the woman felt that her past hardships and labor were like a joke. Every time, every time, when she walked into the gambling house, she had hope in her heart. Every time, every time, when she walked out of the gambling house, there was no smile on her face. "
It suddenly accelerated.
"Suddenly one day, the woman began to win money after a long time. She became even more excited. She was so excited that she even forgot that her child was playing alone outside … No, the woman always remembered her son. She remembered every promise she had made to her son. She promised that when she had money, she would take him to the town to see the shadow play, and she would take him to the town's restaurant to have a sumptuous meal. It was cold, and she thought that with the money in hand, she could buy a new cotton-padded jacket for her child. When the child grew up, she thought that she could let the child go to school. She even dreamed that she could put the TV on at home all day long, and at night, she would hold her child and watch it while falling asleep. She wanted a refrigerator with a lot of popsicles. On the night of the summer solstice, she and her child sat in front of the door, one popsicle for each other, watching the sunset. She thought a lot, but she didn't expect that from that day on, she would never see her son again. That day, another strange man came to the village to do some abduction business. So, the child disappeared from this small village. "
"The child was taken away, and the woman regretted it very much. She blamed herself. She had thought of murmuring softly. She even hated herself. She had once tried to commit suicide by hanging herself, but someone had saved her. She came back to life and wanted to see her child. That year, it snowed heavily. During the New Year, the woman quietly carried a cloth bag and left the small village in the sound of firecrackers. Once she left, she left for twenty years … Finally, the woman found her child. "
The story abruptly came to an end, but the audience had a feeling of discomfort.
However, the story continued, and the sound of the piano didn't stop.
"After the child was taken away that day, he was taken to a faraway place by the traffickers. He saw many children like him, who were brought from other places. Boys and girls, some had their legs broken, some had their hands broken, and he was forced to beg for money on the street like these children. I don't know when it started, but the child began to resent the woman. He blamed her for ignoring him, and he blamed her for only knowing how to stay in the gambling stall full of evil. He carefully hid the rattle-drum that the woman gave him. He loved and hated it. "
"One day, a man bought a child from a human trafficker. The man had given the child a very, very good education and even made him an outstanding performer. Twenty years later, the child had grown up. He had a girl he liked, and he had a career he loved. He seemed to have a very good, very good life. And at this time, he saw the woman who lost him that year. "
"He grew up, but the resentment hidden in his heart couldn't be eliminated. He didn't know how to face this woman. At this time, in front of the child, there was actually a choice. The man who adopted him said: If you choose your former mother, you will lose everything. But the man also promised the child that if he didn't say all this, he could enjoy everything. He could even secretly take care of his mother. Yes, secretly. "
The young man fell silent here, and only the sound of his fingertips gradually became skilled. "The story has reached this point, and I can't know the ending. What I know is that the woman didn't hear the child's voice in the gambling stall that year. And twenty years later, the child also didn't seem to hear the woman's voice on the stage of life. How similar it is … Richard Clayman. Clayderman, Love Concerto. I hope you like it. "
…
The sound stopped, and the performance also stopped. The audience was silent, as if they were brought into a black and white old movie. No one seemed to be willing to break the silence first.
Only Fang Jiping in the corner was now in tears, staring at the piano, choking with sobs, "I … am that child."
