Ye Shi's performance surprised everyone, and her quiet and unassuming nature drew everyone in.

Nana's performance was also excellent, but it was clearly inferior to Ye Shi's.

In the end, Nana gave up and was the first to stop playing.

"Hmph!" She angrily threw down her violin and walked off the stage.

Zhu Huai withdrew his gaze from Ye Shi and then followed her.

After Ye Shi finished her performance, she bowed deeply to the ground.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

When she stood up and looked down at the audience, it was as if she had returned to her shining self on the stage years ago.

"You win, you've got some skills!"

Nana said angrily, then left the tavern.

Zhu Huai saw her out, then turned back to Ye Shi and said, "As expected, even though you haven't touched music for several years, your talent is still there. Shi Shi, if you don't mind, you're welcome to join my studio anytime."

He extended his hand to her, indicating that he wanted to shake hers.

Ye Shi ignored his flattery and asked, "Mr. Zhu, which big boss are you trying to send me to this time?"

"Shishi..."

"Stop disgusting me."

She pushed him away and strode away.

Zhu Huai didn't give up and chased after her, saying, "Shishi, I was wrong about what happened back then, but you're doing very well now. Your husband is a big boss and your son is so smart and cute. Even though I was wrong first back then, you didn't lose anything."

"Zhu Huai, how dare you say such a thing!"

Ye Shi's face flushed with anger, and she shoved him away, saying, "You're the most disgusting person I've ever met!"

“You can curse me all you want. I know I can’t make up for the hurt I’ve caused you. I also know you’re not short of money right now, but I really don’t know how to win back your forgiveness except for money.”

After saying that, he took out a check from his bag and was about to give her the money.

Ye Shi felt nauseous at the sight and turned away quickly.

"Shishi!" Zhu Huai called out as he chased after her.

Ye Shi got into the car, while he was stopped by the bodyguards.

“Sir, please stay away from our lady,” the bodyguard warned.

Zhu Huai could only watch as the car slowly disappeared from sight.

The video of the performance at the pub was sent to Fu Zelian's phone.

After finishing his work in the evening, he leaned back in his leather chair and watched the video several times.

He hadn't seen Ye Shi like this for a very, very long time.

After getting married, she basically never touched any musical instruments again. Every day, besides taking care of the children, she spent her time admiring and planting flowers, to the point that he almost forgot that she used to play music.

When he first met her, she was a shining violinist on stage, brimming with spirit and youth in every move.

When Fu Zelian finished his cigarette and checked the time again, it was already past midnight.

He turned off his phone and got up to go back to his room to rest.

"Ding-dong—" A WeChat message rang; it was from his son.

He sat back in the leather chair and sent a serious voice message, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Isn't your mom with you?"

"Dad, when are you coming back? Mom and I were bullied. Please come back soon!" came Xiao Zhe's childish voice.

"Who bullied you?"

"So many things! Come back quickly and help us get revenge. Also, it seems like a man is harassing Mom. He might like Mom. If you don't come back soon, your wife will be taken away."

Fu Zelian gripped his phone tightly, his face turning frosty.
