On stage.
The pure white ballet costume outlined her exquisite curves. Su Yun nodded and lowered her eyes, gently stood on tiptoes, raised her hands high and then lowered them gracefully, like a noble white swan.
The whole audience held their breath.
When the last key of the piano fell, a beam of white spotlight shone on her, making Ying's little face even paler and more fragile.
Su Yun smiled and lowered her slender arms. The spotlight followed her shadow to the center of the stage and bowed slightly.
"Thank you, everyone."
She spoke in a gentle tone and looked at those faces, some strange and some familiar, with a smile.
There was amazement, playfulness, shock, and disdain in those eyes...
Who cares!
She was too lazy to think about it, too lazy to see that the timid self in the past had already disappeared in Sheng Huai's sweet traps and cruel lies.
The applause surged like a wave.
Teacher Yun stood up and looked at Su Yun. Although he didn't say anything, the surprise and amazement in his eyes were no longer concealed.
That’s great!
The calm and happy Xiaoyun from the past is back.
Xie Huan in the audience tightened her skirt, looking embarrassed and uneasy.
Thinking about what she had said, she felt guilty and frightened.
Yuxuan beside her glanced at her: "Do you understand now?"
"Xiaoyun is irreplaceable!"
"Do you think it's her identity as Mrs. Sheng that allows her to stand at the center of the stage?... In fact, she has been dragged down by this identity for too long."
Xie Huan looked confused.
Yuxuan sighed. She knew that this young and immature girl would definitely not understand the meaning of her words.
On the stage, Su Yun raised her eyes and smiled, and left the show gracefully.
The side curtains closed and opened again, and the performance continued.
…
It was very quiet backstage.
Su Yun sat on the sofa and slowly removed her makeup. Her slender fingertips pinched the makeup remover towel and slid it across her thin eyebrows, lips, and stopped at the end of her eyes.
I don't know when some fine lines appeared.
She stared at the mirror with heavy eyes, and then raised the corners of her lips to smile indifferently after a moment. It turned out that time passed so quickly. The little girl running wildly with a kite in her memory has really grown up...
Su Yun stared at the mirror for a long time until the dressing room door was gently pushed open. A few girls pushed and shoved each other for a while before walking in with their heads lowered.
After Xie Huan's eyes met hers, he became cautious: "Sister Su Yun..."
She continued to remove her makeup in front of the mirror, without a smile on her face: "Do you have something to ask me?"
Xie Huan tightened the hem of her skirt with her hands, and her tone became more humble: "Sister Su Yun, how come you dance so well?"
Several girls gradually began to whisper: "Yeah, especially that difficult move, I just can't learn it..."
"Sister Su Yun, can you teach us a lesson in the future? We were wrong before. We shouldn't have said that to you. I'm sorry. Can you please forgive us?"
Su Yun didn't comment, and said in a very indifferent manner: "Let's talk about it later."
Xie Huan continued to try to get closer to her, "Teacher Yun and Sister Yuxuan often said that you were very good in the past. You designed clothes for luxury brands, and you were also very good at ballet and piano... We didn't believe it at the time."
"Yeah, it's amazing..."
"It's a pity... If you had chosen a random place to study, you would definitely be a famous master now."
"Why did you return home so early?... What a pity! Looking at it this way, I suddenly feel that Mr. Sheng is just so-so."
Su Yun listened silently, and the action of removing makeup in her hand paused for a few seconds. A sense of loss flashed across her eyes, and she shook her head gently after a while, "It's nothing to regret. It's my own choice, and I accept all the results."
She raised her eyes and smiled beautifully: "Besides, I can also set an example for you, as a negative teaching material."
The tone was lighthearted, but the smile was sad.
Several girls chattered around her for a long time, with admiring looks on their faces, completely different from their previous arrogant attitude.
"Xiaoyun has gained a group of little fans."
Yu Xuan, who had been listening outside the door for a while, came in and put a glass of juice on Su Yun's dressing table, pretending to be angry: "From now on, I will force you to go out to eat every day, look at how thin you have become..."
She sat down, propped up her chin with both hands and stared at Su Yun: "But to be honest, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for three years, your dancing skills have remained so good..."
“It was a blast tonight!”
"Teacher Yun asked me to tell you that you have to collect tonight's appearance fee! 100,000! You are not allowed to refuse!"
"I won't refuse. Just charge my card..." Su Yun smiled gently, "Then you are not allowed to refuse me when I pay for your meals in the future."
This dance party was held to promote the university town's commercial chain transformation project. Although Yun Qishan did not take part, he invited many people from Li City's business circle.
Originally, those people just came to visit for the sake of passing the process and had no intention of moving into the commercial area developed by Teacher Yun.
But the dinner was so successful that for these celebrities, money was not a problem as long as the atmosphere was right, and several contracts were signed on the spot.
"Yuxuan."
Su Yun said sincerely: "I want to thank Teacher Yun for giving me this opportunity."
"otherwise……"
Yu Xuan chuckled, "You're in such good shape. Who would believe that you've been a housewife for three years, and you're still working for President Sheng..."
She realized she had said the wrong thing: "I...I'll go see if Teacher Yun needs any help."
"Okay, I'll go back after I take off my makeup."
As soon as the door was closed again, Sheng Huai sent a message.
In the video, Su Yun spins lightly on the stage like a feather.
"Why didn't you tell me you were going to the dance?"
Su Yun held the phone in her hand and pursed her lips. She could no longer tell what kind of face was behind such a seemingly peaceful and harmless sentence.
He called me within seconds, his tone unexpectedly gentle. "Why aren't you home yet?"
"Do you want me to pick you up?"
"Pick me up?"
Su Yun stood up, threw the cotton pad in her hand into the trash can, grabbed the bag on the dressing table and walked out the door: "Aren't you in the company now?"
She sneered, "I didn't expect that someone would tip you off when I attended a small banquet."
"Sheng Huai, is it wrong for me to do what I like?!"
He listened to her quietly before speaking gently, "I'll pick you up, okay? You wait for me at the club."
"Also, no one was arranged to follow you this time. The video was sent from an unknown number. I will check it out."
Sheng Huai knew that she no longer trusted him, but he still wanted to explain to Su Yun. Apart from what happened about Jiang Zhi that night, it would be better to find an appropriate opportunity to talk about it.
After all, Jiang Zhi saved his life.
"Mrs. Sheng, if you like dancing, can I introduce you to a teacher? She is hosting the banquet tonight, and you will definitely be very happy..."
His words were interrupted.
"Sheng Huai!"
"Can you please have a little dignity? Give your wife some dignity, and save some face for yourself?"
"You're repeating the same thing you did to please another woman on yourself? Don't be so shameless!"
"I'm sensible enough!...Don't push me anymore!"
Su Yun finished speaking in one breath, and her mood instantly became extremely happy... She felt more and more that it was because she had been too kind and gentle to this man in the past, which was why he trampled on her sincerity time and time again without any scruples!
He just brought Jiang Zhi to see Teacher Yun, and now he is introducing her to himself as a reward!
Does he feel proud?
It was very quiet on the line, with only the sound of the lighter flipping the switch.
After a long time, Sheng Huai spoke in a hoarse voice, "Do you hate me so much..."
"Mr. Sheng, isn't it clear? Some things will make everyone uncomfortable if you ask them."
"I don't want to argue with you, goodbye if nothing else!"
Su Yun hung up the phone and hailed a taxi at the entrance of the club.
"Just walk around, go anywhere, just stay away from here!"
At the intersection, a luxury car turned around.
Followed up...
