After Du Xueyan left, Song Ci and Mu Qiu were still sitting in the tea room. Mu Qiu, holding the album, finally burst into tears. "Sister, I really want to go to her concert with you."

Song Ci drooped her eyelids and stared at Mu Qiu calmly, her lips tightly pursed, without comforting her.

After leaving the teahouse, Gu Shengyao and Du Xueyan got into the car together.

Gu Shengyao drove the car himself without asking for a driver.

Du Xueyan sat in the back seat. She turned her head to look at the bustling scene passing by outside the window. Her eyes flickered and no one knew what she was thinking.

Gu Shengyao suddenly sighed: "Mr. Mu really loves his youngest daughter." In order to let Du Xueyan meet Mu Qiu, Mu Mian directly gave Du Xueyan the opportunity to be the spokesperson for the Yuese shopping website.

Du Xueyan said: "That little girl is very cute. It's not difficult to understand why Mu Mian loves his daughter so much."

"That's true." Since Mu Qiu was mentioned, Gu Shengyao naturally thought of Song Ci, the adopted daughter of the Mu family. "What do you think of Song Ci?"

Du Xueyan glanced at Gu Shengyao in surprise, then she understood and said, "You want to sign her?"

Gu Shengyao opened his own entertainment company and signed several actors. Song Ci was beautiful and had a perfect figure. She was definitely a woman suitable for the big screen.

Song Dynasty porcelain has good hardware conditions and is born to be a star.

"I do have that idea. But..." Gu Shengyao shook his head and said with some regret: "She is married." How can someone so young be so pessimistic.

"She's married?" Du Xueyan was really shocked.

Nowadays, people generally marry later, especially young people who are good-looking. It is really rare to see a beautiful girl like Song Ci getting married at such a young age.

Song Ci's stunningly beautiful face popped up in Du Xueyan's mind. She hesitated and asked, "How old is that girl? Early twenties, right? And she's already married?"

Nodding, Gu Shengyao said, "Song Ci is the most famous lady in Wangdong City. You've seen her too. She's very beautiful. I heard she studied at a civil aviation university and is a female pilot with a pilot's license. Almost all the famous young masters in Wangdong City are her friends."

"A person like this, who is good-looking, talented, and capable, would be very easy to package if she really entered the circle. But she got married, suddenly last month, to a man from an ordinary family."

"Don't you think it's a pity?"

Hearing this, Du Xueyan felt even more puzzled. The richer the family, the more they valued a good match. Why would the Mu family agree to let Song Ci marry an ordinary man?

"Mr. Mu agrees with her marriage?"

Gu Shengyao shrugged and said, "I don't know about that. I only know that she got married to a man with a hand disability. This matter even became a trending topic on Weibo last month."

Hearing about the hand being disabled, Du Xueyan's eyes suddenly fixed. She asked casually, "How is the hand disabled?"

Gu Shengyao didn't notice Du Xueyan's abnormality. He shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not sure. I think she said she had a few broken fingers."

Du Xueyan's heart skipped a beat.

"Is that so..."

Du Xueyan lowered her head and opened Baidu, trying to search for Song Ci. As Gu Shengyao said, Song Ci was indeed a well-known beauty, and there were many gossip reports about her on Baidu.

Du Xueyan tried searching the Wangdongcheng forum and actually found the post that dug deep into Song Ci's marriage. She read on and when she saw that Song Ci's marriage partner was named Han Zhan, her heart suddenly sank.

Han Zhan has a disabled hand and comes from an ordinary family.

Han Zhan...

Du Xueyan suddenly closed her eyes and stopped looking at her phone. It was unclear whether she felt bored or was afraid to look at it.

Gu Shengyao glanced at Du Xueyan from the rearview mirror. Seeing that Du Xueyan had her eyes closed, he thought she was sleepy. "Are you tired?"

Du Xueyan seemed to be asleep and didn't speak.

After a while, Du Xueyan suddenly opened her eyes and looked down at her image on the phone screen. Suddenly, she seemed to see her younger self, a youthful and energetic girl who still retained a touch of innocence. But upon closer inspection, the innocent girl of those days had long since been swallowed by time.

Now, except for his skin, where can we find any trace of his former self?

"Song Ci's marriage partner is Han Zhan."

Gu Shengyao felt strange after hearing Du Xueyan's words. Du Xueyan said "it's Han Zhan" instead of "called Han Zhan", which is different. "Yes" means that they know Han Zhan.

"Han Zhan?" Gu Shengyao had no impression of this name. He searched his mind while driving.

Finally, he remembered!

Eight years ago, Gu Shengyao was just a newly-acclaimed manager at Op Music. That year, he met Du Xueyan, a recent college graduate entering the music industry.

Gu Shengyao has a keen eye for talent. When he saw Du Xueyan singing on stage for the first time, who was still a little immature and restrained, he knew that this woman would become a singing queen with careful cultivation.

The reason is simple: her voice is so ethereal and pleasant.

As one of the three largest entertainment companies in China, Opple Entertainment is very strict in managing its artists. One of the most important rules for signed artists is that they are not allowed to have romantic relationships.

At that time, Du Xueyan already had a boyfriend named Han Zhan.

When Gu Shengyao approached Du Xueyan and proposed signing her, promising to do his utmost to support her, Du Xueyan, a rising singer eager for success, was moved. However, she was reluctant to give up her boyfriend, and she remained hesitant.

But in this world, it is not easy to have both fish and bear's paw.

Around that time, a devastating earthquake rocked Bijiang City, and Du Xueyan's boyfriend was ordered to the site of the disaster. Unfortunately, he was crushed by a collapsed building during an aftershock. Although he was successfully rescued, he lost two fingers.

For a man who has touched a gun, losing the index and middle fingers that pull the trigger is a disaster. Brilliance, power and status are things that Han Zhan will never have in his lifetime.

Han Zhan's amputation crushed the last shred of hesitation in Du Xueyan's heart. The desire to succeed ultimately triumphed over the illusory and futureless love.

Shortly after the man's leg was amputated, Du Xueyan broke up with him.

Hand disabled, family background ordinary...

They all match!

Gu Shengyao was shocked. He asked Du Xueyan uncertainly, "Is this Han Zhan your ex-boyfriend?" After asking, Gu Shengyao turned around and glanced at Du Xueyan.

Du Xueyan had been staring at the car window silently. Tears were now glinting in her black eyes, which had remained firm and calm despite any situation she had encountered over the years.
