The blurry memory seemed to be separated by mist.
He looked to be less than five years old. He was sitting beside the piano with a person in his arms. The person seemed to be a little younger than him. Her head was moving around and was very disobedient. He was holding the person's fingers and trying to memorize the notes on the piano.
"Momo, playing the piano is boring. Let's go look for William, his dog is fun to chase."
"We'll go after we finish."
"It'll be late by the time we finish, I still have to climb the wall."
"You'll have curry rice after you finish. You can decide if you want to play with William or stay here to eat curry rice."
He heard himself asking the person to make the choice in an aloof manner.
The person's head drooped for a second before she lifted it again. "I want to eat curry rice but it's not fun to play the piano all the time."
"Let's take a break, I'll play Super Mario with you but tomorrow at this time, you can't go to William's house. You have to come over and learn the piano. Which girl doesn't know how to play the piano? From today onwards, learn well and don't play with the Englishmen next door, do you hear me?"
The last part was his voice. As it was too sudden, a sharp pain shot through his head, causing him to freeze. Even though there weren't any other reactions, his pale and handsome side profile made Bo Jiu realize his discomfort.
Bo Jiu glanced over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Mo?"
The pain only lasted for a moment.
Qin Mo pressed his long fingers between his brows. "Nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and straightened his back. For some reason, he felt like rubbing the young man's furry head.
Qin Mo did the same. "You played well."
The sudden approach made Bo Jiu pause. The warmth on her head was obvious, just like how he had done it when they were young. His breath drifted over and she could feel the warmth.
Bo Jiu lifted her head, her eyes meeting the Almighty's deep gaze. She smiled and pressed her fist against his shoulder. "Same to you."
The scene was pleasing to the eyes.
The atmosphere between the two of them was also unusual.
It seemed like a scene from a manga.
Almost everyone on the scene was applauding for their ensemble just now.
One of the Englishmen held a wine glass in his hand. When he looked at Bo Jiu, his gaze was indescribable.
He even turned to his assistant excitedly and asked, "Go and find out who this Asian boy is. It was a perfect match! Heavens! I feel like I've met the Muse from the script. "
"Yes, sir. I'll inquire at once."
In fact, they decided to attend this gathering at the last minute because of an invitation from an investor.
He didn't expect to receive such an unexpected reward.
The assistant knew very well that the director had visited more than a dozen acting schools in China to find a role that matched the script.
But he was satisfied with none of them.
However, there was a Japanese actor that the director had listed as a candidate.
That actor was originally a Best Actor, but the assistant knew that the director was not very satisfied.
Until this youngster appeared …
The assistant had never seen the director so excited before. It must be because he was too much in line with the character in his mind.
He saw it when Ann came in just now. The middle-aged Englishman wanted to wait until the banquet was over before letting Ann be the middleman.
The two of them didn't look for anyone, especially the middle-aged Englishman.
This time, they had come silently to search for a role.
They didn't want anyone to recognize them.
With the director's international reputation, the moment the media caught sight of him, it wouldn't matter which country it was from, it would be publicized.
This wouldn't be beneficial for them to find the person they needed.
The Englishman thought to himself as he glanced at the young man with the devilish smile. He was really too perfect. When the time came, he would dye his hair black and wear the robes of the Republic of China. The mysterious Asian young man sitting in front of the piano would give off a sense of the overlapping of eras.
This was the person he had been looking for.
He didn't just have an angelic face, he also had a devilish aura.
It was a pity that such a person wasn't acting!
The Englishman was still excited about his discovery.
He didn't know that there were people who had seen his photo and had tried to strike up a conversation with him on several occasions, but none of them had succeeded.
It wasn't anyone else, it was Yi Sihuo.
If he had gone up after the two of them had finished their performance, he would have been asking for humiliation.
Hence, before the piano stopped playing, Yi Sihuo's men had already left the area.
It was because he had retreated from the crowd that he saw the director he wanted to meet.
It felt as though he had gone straight from hell to heaven.
So what if Movie Queen An's path was cut off?
Now that the director was there, as long as he followed him closely and recommended himself, he would definitely have a chance!
Yi Sihuo was a man of action. With this thought in mind, he headed in the direction the Englishman had left.
On the other side, Movie Queen An, who was close to the director, had intentionally stood beside He Honghua at the start of the performance. She took advantage of the lingering warmth and smiled. "My son used to have high standards but ever since he met Jiu, he changed. Madam He has taught him well, raising a child like Jiu who isn't afraid of my son at all. In the past, there were many people who wanted to be friends with Qin Mo but they all had ulterior motives. Jiu is different. That day, when I saw Qin Mo bring Jiu home, I was shocked. After all, my son rarely gets along with anyone and Jiu is an exception. But since Jiu is so handsome and likable, my son must have been wondering how could there be someone better looking than him. Perhaps that was the reason why they became friends. Now that I think about it, it's amazing."
Now that I think about it, it's amazing. "He Honghua was shocked when she heard Movie Queen An's first sentence. She had never expected Movie Queen An to be Qin Mo's mother.
The more He Honghua listened, the more she felt Movie Queen An was different from the other madams she had interacted with.
After all, this person was well-mannered, elegant and magnanimous. It wasn't just an act, but every word and action was embedded in her bones, making her feel comfortable to interact with.
Movie Queen An intentionally made her son sound more pitiful. She sighed deeply. "Madam He, don't be fooled by how tall and strong my son is now. He was born prematurely in the past and I didn't take good care of him."
With that, the two mothers found a common point of communication.
He Honghua immediately said, "My Jiu was born prematurely too, he was so wrinkled that I was worried I wouldn't be able to take care of him."
"I guess so." Movie Queen An reached out and held He Honghua's hand. "We have to interact more in the future, both of them are troublesome."
He Honghua was delighted. "That's right."
"Oh right, Sister He, I've heard about what happened to you. If you need any help, feel free to let me know." Movie Queen An was a capable person. She raised Madam He to Sister He without changing her expression.
If it had been someone else, He Honghua would definitely be on her guard. Not only did this person look at her with sincerity, she was also beautiful.
Most importantly, she didn't have anything on her that she was concerned about.
Her warmth made He Honghua feel as though they were old friends at first sight. There wasn't the slightest bit of pretense.
In reality, Movie Queen An was indeed such a person. "I have long wanted to speak to Sister He and have thought of paying you a visit but I was afraid it would be too abrupt. Today, I heard that Sister He would be attending the banquet, so I specially came over to befriend Sister He."
Movie Queen An wasn't just expressing her sincerity to He Honghua, she was also saying it for Guo Rong, who was standing beside them.
The way she had asked Jiu to move away from the piano was clearly an act of contempt. Movie Queen An didn't feel the need to give her any face.
At that moment, it wasn't just Guo Rong, even Yang Huan's face turned pale after hearing the entire story.
It had to be said that Movie Queen An's words were a slap to the face, leaving no room for negotiation.
On the other hand, He Honghua was the most generous and straightforward. "You should have said so earlier. If you had said so earlier, we would have met at home. I don't know anything else, but I know how to cook. When you come to my house, Sister He will cook for you."
"That would be great, I love to eat but that's the disadvantage of being an actress. There are so many things I want to eat but I can't eat them immediately." Movie Queen An's tone was coquettish. "Take today for example, I just want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I can't even find that kind of home-cooked taste outside."
He Honghua was honest, she immediately replied, "That's easy, if you want to eat, come over tomorrow."
"Can we eat tonight?" After Movie Queen An asked, she felt that it wasn't polite. "I'm disturbing Sister He, I'll eat tomorrow."
He Honghua couldn't bear to see the beauty in such a state. "It's not disturbing, I just need time to prepare the ingredients. It isn't too late, if you really want to eat, let's go home."
"I'll have to trouble Sister He then." Movie Queen An held He Honghua's hand and smiled. She looked like a helpless little bird.
Bo Jiu raised a brow as she walked over.
Go home for dinner?
What was going on?
What was going on?
When did her mother and the Almighty's mother become so close?
In the time she had been playing the piano, the two of them were already calling each other sisters, completely disregarding her and the Almighty.
That was indeed the case.
The two of them chatted for a while before deciding on the itinerary.
Even though Bo Jiu didn't think it was a good idea to attend such a banquet.
She was still a little confused when her mother shoved her into the car so quickly.
She glanced sideways at the Almighty, who was sitting beside her. His face was expressionless, handsome and elegant as usual.
Was she making a fuss out of nothing?
Bo Jiu arched a brow.
The four of them sat in Movie Queen An's car, a Bentley. Even the chauffeur was an old subordinate of the Qin family. His aura was undoubtedly the most graceful among all the guests.
Yang Huan came personally to send them off. In reality, she didn't want Movie Queen An to leave but there was something she had to mention. "Mrs. He, I'm sorry for my negligence, I hope you won't take it to heart."
He Honghua knew very well why Yang Huan said that. It was all for the sake of her Younger Sister An.
Hence, He Honghua didn't reply, merely smiling.
People with different principles couldn't make plans together.
In the future, she wouldn't attend such banquets and she wouldn't befriend Yang Huan.
That was all.
It was understandable for Yang Huan to come out since she was acquainted with Movie Queen An.
But Guo Rong followed, afraid that her son wouldn't have a chance once Movie Queen An left. Without a second thought, she pressed the car window. "Madam An, I have a private matter to discuss with you, may I know when you are free?"
Guo Rong's actions weren't polite at all.
However, she didn't realize it herself. She emphasized in a self-centered manner, "It's about my son. Please make time, Madam An."
Movie Queen An was perplexed by his words. She smiled. "We aren't close and I don't have the obligation to talk to you about your son. Let's go."
Guo Rong watched as the Bentley was about to leave, fuming. "How can she be like that?"
Her voice drifted into the car.
Even Movie Queen An wasn't fond of such people.
She always believed that everyone in the world should help her and that it wasn't good if they didn't.
As compared to such a two-faced person, her in-law was much better, he spoke his mind and was magnanimous. Even though he was careless, he understood the bigger picture.
Movie Queen An felt that there was nothing wrong with her son and Jiu being together.
Even if the gender wasn't ideal.
But there wasn't anything else to pick on.
Her in-law was easy to get along with.
Movie Queen An's next step was to think of a way to win her over, to ask her about her thoughts and try to get her to accept as soon as possible.
Bo Jiu didn't know what Movie Queen An was thinking but from the looks of it, Movie Queen An was indeed too passionate towards her mother.
She had called her Sister He so intimately.
Was scrambled eggs with tomatoes that attractive?
Bo Jiu didn't understand Movie Queen An's actions.
It didn't mean Qin Mo didn't understand but it wasn't the time to point it out since there were still people around.
Especially the person beside him, who was still thinking of escaping. It wasn't suitable for her to know his intentions. If he forced her even more, it would be troublesome if he allowed her to leave.
Qin Mo's method was straightforward. He would settle her down and not allow her to go anywhere.
Once she was completely his, he would talk about other things.
With that in mind, Qin Mo reached his hand out, grabbing onto her hand without a change in expression. There wasn't any emotion on his face.
There wasn't much emotion on his face but when his long and narrow eyes looked towards Bo Jiu, it was obvious that he was telling her to be quiet.
Bo Jiu didn't retract her hand because that would attract the attention of the two parents in front.
