Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

After leaving the police station that day, Ling Xi never took the initiative to contact Yaoyao again, and was once ready to be sued in court.

There is no way, people always have to be responsible for what they have done, beating people is because they are too impulsive, being used by others is because they are too stupid, no one can blame it.Grandpa is gone, all he can rely on is himself, so what right does he have to ask others to be kind and honest.

Fortunately, the Yaoyao brothers and sisters did not continue to make trouble. I don't know if it was out of guilt or fear of trouble, but the whole matter came to nothing.Not long after, Yaoyao withdrew from the training of the newly promoted beautiful girl group, and completely cut off contact with Huitu.

Afterwards, the TV station began to set off overwhelming hype and momentum on the Internet. The new column has not yet launched, and it already has enough topics and popularity. Several "goddesses" with different styles also have their own fan groups. Otaku Fans and navy teams quarrel every day over which goddess is more beautiful and which goddess is sexier.

In his spare time, Teacher Wu would occasionally chat with Ling Xi about Yaoyao's latest news. Apart from lamenting that she was so lucky, she also despised her way of being eager for quick success.But no matter what Teacher Wu said, Ling Xi just listened quietly and never made any comments. He neither said a good word nor a bad word for Yaoyao, as if he didn't know this person at all.

The day of salary payment has not arrived, and the money owed to Lu Xiaoyan has not yet been settled. Ling Xi didn't want to delay him for too long. After thinking about it, he decided to sell the guitar—after all, it was the only valuable thing on him.The guitar has only been used for more than a year, and it has been maintained very carefully. It looks like a new one. He went to several large and small piano shops to inquire about the price. After selling it, not only can he return the money to Lu Xiaoyan, but also a small part The balance is enough for him to buy another ordinary guitar.

Before selling that special guitar, he specifically obtained Mr. Wu’s permission to record a disc for himself in the studio after finishing work at night, performing several old songs by playing and singing. The songs are all my grandfather's favorites in the past, and they can be regarded as a kind of comfort to the deceased relatives.

On the day when he made an appointment to make a deal with someone, he lingered at the door of the piano shop for more than half an hour, smoking no less than five cigarettes, which caused the shop owner and workers to probe their brains and talk about it.Later, I found out that there was a small photo studio across the street, so I went in temporarily and took a photo. In the photo, he was sitting upright facing the camera, holding the guitar tightly in his arms, with a serious expression as if he was attending a funeral.

The shutter was pressed with a "click", which represented another memory frozen in the film.The guitar was finally sold, and he made a phone call with Lu Xiaoyan to make an appointment to meet and pay back the money. As for the discs and photos, he neatly packed them and put them in a huge canvas bag, so he can take them with him wherever he goes in the future.Anyway, he has no home, no family, and compared to the dirty old beggar under the overpass, he is just a cleaner and more decent tramp...

On the weekend, Teacher Wu was going to talk about a film soundtrack project, and the meeting place was at a five-star hotel, so Ling Xi naturally had to start working with her.

As soon as Mr. Wu entered the hotel lobby, he ran into an acquaintance. He hurriedly walked a few steps forward to say hello, and introduced Ling Xi to each other by the way: "This is Ye Ming, Mr. Ye, our colleagues. This It's Ling Xi, the newcomer our company just signed."

The two parties who were introduced looked at each other, Ye Ming smiled very coldly, while Ling Xi was indifferent and unresponsive.

Teacher Wu didn't pay attention to these details, but naturally asked Ye Ming how his wife and children were doing, what he was up to recently and other gossips.According to Ye Ming, the TV station will soon hold a newcomer competition called "Bright Star", aiming to select potential and talented young singers. He himself participated in the preparatory work as a consultant and is likely to be accepted Invited to serve as judges for certain sessions.

They were all in the same circle, Mr. Wu had heard about this game, and was about to chat more, when suddenly his phone rang, and he hurriedly made a "later" gesture to Ye Ming, and walked to the side to pick it up. The phone went.

Only Ling Xi and Ye Ming were left standing face to face, and the atmosphere became stiff and awkward.After a while, Ye Ming took the lead in sighing in a low voice: "You can't even say hello when you meet, the older you are, the more uneducated you are."

This time Ling Xi was uncharacteristically, and he had to respond in a timely manner: "No one taught, no one raised, where did you get the education?"

Ye Ming raised his hand and slapped his hands silently, "hehe" sneered: "Very good, very good, as expected of a good son born by Ling Wei, this tone really resembles her, even the arrogance and unreasonable energy are exactly the same as hers, I don’t know much about my skills, but my heart is higher than the sky. You have books and don’t read well, and you just think about crooked ways all day long, and your grandfather doesn’t care about you? You have tossed and tossed and got involved in Huitu. It is true that you inherited it from your mother. Good genes."

Changing to words with obvious sarcasm, Ling Xi still took it easy: "It's useless to show my language talent to me. No matter how you belittle her, it doesn't mean that you are better than her. In my heart, there is no difference between you and her. Are you still Do you want to compare who is more selfish?"

Ye Ming wanted to say something more. When Teacher Wu came back, he immediately changed his tone into a relaxed tone, and said goodbye to the other party with a few irrelevant topics, and left without looking at Ling Xi before leaving.

Following Teacher Wu into the elevator, Ling Xi asked in a low voice: "Teacher, do you know when the registration for the competition just mentioned will start?"

Teacher Wu was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Why, are you interested?"

Ling Xi nodded without hesitation: "En."

Teacher Wu pursed her lips and thought about it for a while, then agreed: "That's fine, young man, I also support you to have fun, just treat it as seeing the world, whether you win an award or not is a rare opportunity to exercise."

"Why did you go for fun?" Ling Xi blinked her big eyes with a very serious expression, "Since I participated, I plan to win the championship."

Teacher Wu's expression was complicated for a moment, his lips moved for a long time, and finally he smiled helplessly: "Ling Xi, you...you really don't know how to evaluate your personality. In short, in ten years, I guess you will either soar into the sky and become this The top superstar in the circle, or even the gate of this circle can't even think of stepping in..."

In the hospital that day, Lu Xiaoyan took advantage of the time when his good sister was doing the examination to carefully review all the photos of Feng An, especially the ear part. No matter the old photos of his youth or the recent photos of returning to Lidao, people were looking for it. Does not leave any scars.Of course, Hao Jie would not intentionally make up mother's nonsense, but she is a sick person after all, and her memory will be confused.

Lu Xiaoyan doesn't know who has scars on his ears, but he has heard the rumors that Zhou Rong chased his mother for three years and failed. If it wasn't for his hatred for his mother, how could Zhou Rong fight the consequences of falling out with the Lu family? It is also necessary to prevent the father from marrying the mother and entering the house.Speaking of which, he had many chances to see Zhou Rong in these years, but he really never paid attention to whether the old man's ears were intact.

Thinking of Zhou Rong, Lu Xiaoyan unconsciously remembered another strange thing - in his previous life, a mysterious person had called home anonymously, saying that his mother's death had something hidden behind it, and it was not a simple traffic accident, and the real culprit behind the scenes was related to him. The Zhou family couldn't get away with it.The man said that as long as his father paid him a sum of money, he would tell his father the whole truth.

Of course, my father would not believe the so-called "hidden secrets" without evidence. Either someone wanted to cheat money from the Lu family with empty hands, or someone with ulterior motives wanted to provoke the relationship between Zhou and Lu, so just ignore it.Unexpectedly, that person didn't give up, and called his father several times, and he didn't know what he said on the phone, so that his father actually asked someone to prepare a huge amount of cash as required.After waiting for a full week, the call never came back.

The whole family was played around by the fake news from unknown sources, lost all face, and finally agreed that it was just a prank done by boring people.The father and elder brother didn't want this matter to spread and affect the relationship with the Zhou family, so they issued a gag order.At that time, Lu Xiaoyan was still busy hooking up with a few little stars, completely ignoring what happened at home.

In the past, he was an idiot, and he always felt that it didn't matter or that it was unnecessary when looking at problems, but he suffered a lot in the end.Now he understands that the human heart is sinister, more sinister than the limit he could have imagined.Was the mother's death an accident?There is no guarantee that it will not be a well-planned murder. The murderer may be the Zhou family, Feng An, the eldest brother Lu Xiaocheng, or even some vicious vixen who has no clear relationship with his father...

Among these people, Zhou Rong is the most suspicious person. He has motivation and ability, and he is also one of the few people in Lidao who does not take the Lu family seriously.But what makes people wonder is, if Zhou Rong really hated his mother so much that he wanted to get rid of it quickly, why didn't he do it when he was just rejected?Why not do it before the mother falls into the arms of the father?And why did he wait until his mother hooked up with director Feng before thinking of doing it?Could it be that Zhou Rong was thinking about his father's lifelong happiness?Ha, that's the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Furthermore, with the strength and means of the Zhou family, if you want to wipe out a human life, you can do it in a watertight way. Let alone the other things, just throwing them into the sea from the Hongshan Port wharf every year to feed the sharks can't be counted. Come on, there has never been a time when someone caught him, let alone ran to his father with evidence to ask for a reward.

In short, everything is possible, and everything is impossible. The best starting point to start investigating the cause of his mother's death is Feng An. First of all, he must meet him, and then ask him about the little details about his mother's death. .

Of course, there is a more important premise, which is to find out what kind of emotion Feng An has for his mother, whether it is infatuation like what the good sister said, or is it ambiguous like the media said, or whether it was 800 years ago. Kong Fanzhen left it behind - these are directly related to how he will approach Feng An...

Also on the weekend, the well-known women's group "Huiyan Club" in Lidao was going to hold a charity auction in a five-star hotel, and Lu Xiaoyan was also invited.Huiyan Society is a public welfare organization composed of famous ladies and ladies. It will regularly use its own appeal to hold some fundraising activities to relieve disasters and the poor, give back to the public, and help those groups in need.

Huiyan Club has a very high threshold, and only recruits members once a year. At least a rich wife like Fang Yao who can only wear gold and silver can't get in even if her head is sharpened.Elder sister Lu Xiaoyi became an officer of the Huiyan Club at a young age, which made her very proud, so much so that every time the club held an event, she always invited her father, younger mother, elder brother, and Lu Xiaoyan with great fanfare.

Naturally, my little mother never attended. Could it be that she stretched her head over knowing that she would be trampled on?My father has a lot to do every day, and rarely participates in such activities.As for the elder brother and Lu Xiaoyan, because they couldn't bear the elder sister's flirtatiousness, no matter how busy they were, they would always find time to socialize.

Just as he packed up and was about to go out, Lu Xiaoyan received a call from Mu Xia. Mu Xia said that he happened to pass by nearby and wanted to invite Lu Xiaoyan to dinner, but he didn't know whether he would appreciate it or not.

Since the last time we met at my mother's birthday party, Lu Xiaoyan and Mu Xia met twice on other occasions, and they even talked on the phone from time to time to flirt.He has always played the role of a volatile playboy. He just flirts with Mu Xia unscrupulously, but he refuses to show any real kung fu. I met Mu Xia.Being teased by him from far and near, on the contrary, Mu Xia was driven into a hurry, fearing that the duck in her hand would fly away, Mu Xia would not give up on asking him out every now and then, and every time her face was filled with the urge to get naked and go to bed .

After receiving Mu Xia's dinner invitation, Lu Xiaoyan did not refuse. Anyway, the invitation to the auction stated that he could bring his partner to attend, so bringing Mu Xia was justifiable. On the one hand, it could give Mu Xia a temporary reassurance; By the way, show it to your older brothers and sisters, and let them know how far you and Mu Xia have progressed, otherwise the meaning of being close to Mu Xia will not exist.

Mu Xia was waiting nearby, and Lu Xiaoyan quickly picked him up and drove to the designated hotel together.Because the dinner party required guests to wear formal attire, Lu Xiaoyan took Mu Xia to a designer brand store on a detour.The owner of the shop is Lin Guangle's friend, and he has had dinner with Lu Xiaoyan a few times, so it can be regarded as a little friendship.

People who engage in art like to be ingenious. This store is a high-end and luxurious route. The interior area is extremely spacious. It is divided into two areas by the central axis. It is a well-proportioned display stand and display stand, and also provides tailor-made services.

Coincidentally, Lu Xiaoyan found a floor-standing fish tank exactly like his own in the corner of the shop, even the tropical fish kept in it were of the same species.After asking the shop owner, it turned out that it was Lin Guangle, an idiot, who sent it. Sure enough, before delivering the fish tank, Lin Guangle also took an old magic stick to see Feng Shui, and even the rhetoric about fate was almost the same.In the end, Lu Xiaoyan and the shop owner came to the same conclusion that the so-called Mr. Feng Shui's family should actually run the aquarium business. The guy saw that Lin Guangle was stupid enough, so he used him to run out for a while to cheat and sell the junk that couldn't be sold all year round. There is a big liquidation, I don't know how many Feng Shui fish tanks Lin Guangle gave away in the whole circle of friends.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so the shop owner took out the good coffee ground by himself to entertain Lu Xiaoyan before selling the clothing works.While Lu Xiaoyan was sitting comfortably sipping coffee, Mu Xia was also aroused by the fish tank, and stood by the side watching it for a long time.Each of those tropical fish has a different color, and there is one with red stripes on a white background, which is gorgeous and elegant, just like a peony painted with fine brushwork on the fish.Mu Xia looked at it, and couldn't help reaching in to touch it. The fish wasn't afraid of people, so it just stuck to his finger and swam slowly.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Lu Xiaoyan saw it at a glance, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and dragged Mu Xia to his side.The fish tank at home is Ling Xi's treasure. The fish in it, big or small, have heard Ling Xi play the piano. Lu Xiaoyan loves the house and birds, and even cherishes the fish here.

Mu Xia didn't stand still, and his elbow hit the pillar behind him, it might hurt a little, he blinked his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoyan aggrievedly, and couldn't stop rubbing his elbow.Lu Xiaoyan noticed that his behavior was a bit rude, and explained patiently: "This fish is very sensitive to water quality and temperature, and cannot stand any pollution. If you like it, you can just watch it from a distance, and don't touch it randomly."

Mu Xia stuck out her tongue obediently, and then showed a smile that couldn't be sweeter: "Well, I got it, I won't dare next time."

The shop owner not only has a lot of research on coffee, but is also a cigar lover. Seeing that Lu Xiaoyan was free, he excitedly called him over to share his collection, leaving Mu Xia alone by the fish tank.

When Lu Xiaoyan was far away and there were no other people's attention around, Mu Xia stared at the tropical fish with red stripes on a white background and stared silently for a while, then suddenly reached in, grabbed the fish and lifted it out of the water. He moved his body and struggled violently for a while, then gradually stopped moving, only his mouth was still opening and closing weakly, Mu Xia's fingers seemed to clenched a little more, and after a few minutes, the head and tail of the fish limply drooped down, completely dead up.Only then did Mu Xia carefully put the fish back into the water close to the surface of the water, watched it flutter and sink all the way to the bottom of the tank, and then wiped her hands with a paper towel calmly.

"Mu Xia, come here and try on clothes." Lu Xiaoyan finished the conversation with the boss, and walked back with a pacing pace.

"Okay, come." Mu Xia turned around happily and greeted her, with a sweet smile like a cream cake on her face.

The designer personally helped Mu Xia choose a full set of dress shoes and bow tie. When she was trying on clothes, Mu Xia showed her love for a bracelet. Lu Xiaoyan also bought it and gave it to him without saying a word.

As soon as he got off the car at the entrance of the hotel, he bumped into his elder brother Lu Xiaocheng who came out to greet his friends.The elder brother looked at Lu Xiaoyan and then at Mu Xia. He had obviously guessed the relationship between the two at this time. He immediately greeted each other with ambiguous smiles, and he pulled Mu Xia to greet each other like an old acquaintance: "This time my second sister is very special. I sponsored a few bottles of Romanee-Conti in [-] to Huiyan Club, they are definitely good things, why don't you try them together later?"

Mu Xia was next to Lu Xiaoyan, with a shy expression no matter how you look at it: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu, I don't know much about red wine, and I'm going to participate in a competition on the TV station recently, so I have to protect my throat, so yes Can't drink, forgive me."

The elder brother smiled: "Are you talking about the 'Bright Star' rookie contest?"

Mu Xia immediately came with 12 interest: "Mr. Lu also knows about this competition?"

Although the elder brother was talking to Mu Xia, his eyes were clearly on Lu Xiaoyan: "Not only do you know, we Tenghua are also one of the co-organizers."

Mu Xia immediately smiled and said, "It seems that I'm too ill-informed. I haven't heard of these things. Mr. Lu knows so many people and has a wide range of connections. Please take care of me when the time comes."

The elder brother giggled and agreed: "It's easy to say, easy to say," and patted Lu Xiaoyan's shoulder very affectionately, and led them to chat while walking to the hotel, "What about you, Mu Xia, just coax Xiaoyan well, the TV station He can also talk over there. In fact, this kind of competition is to set up a stage to sing, and it is nothing more than that everyone wants to find opportunities and promote newcomers. Although we in Tenghua are not big, it is not a problem to arrange a top three to enter... ..."

Mu Xia exaggeratedly said "Oh", and secretly squeezed Lu Xiaoyan's hand from under the cuff, scratching his palm lightly with her fingertips: "What if I still want to win a championship?"

Lu Xiaoyan took advantage of the situation and squeezed his cheek hard, smiling lewdly: "Want to play? Then go and play!"

The three of them had just approached the elevator entrance, when the door opened, Lu Xiaoyan raised his head, and suddenly saw Ling Xi walking out from inside with his head bowed.At this moment, Ling Xi also saw Lu Xiaoyan, and those big black and white eyes suddenly lit up "swish", then the corners of his mouth slightly curved into an arc similar to a cat's mouth, and he raised his hand ready to say hello.

Lu Xiaoyan never expected to run into Ling Xi on such an occasion. For safety reasons, he didn't want his elder brother and Mu Xia to know about Ling Xi's existence, so he could only pretend that he didn't know Ling Xi at all. Without taking a second look, he walked into the elevator talking and laughing with his eldest brother and Mu Xia. What was to die for was that Mu Xia got so carried away with this effort that she tiptoed and kissed him on the chin.

The elevator doors closed slowly, Lu Xiaoyan saw Ling Xi tilted his head, his mouth tightly pursed into a line, in order to hide his embarrassment, the hand that was raised to greet him pretended to turn and rub his eyebrows...
