Shen Lanxin didn't know what the relationship between the two was. Although she was happy to have Mu Liuyun, she was very unhappy to hear that Mu Liuyun was being humiliated as an object.
She was even more unhappy when she learned that Du Ziyan had something related to Mu Liuyun.
So she looked at the bodyguard beside her and said, "Help him up."
The bodyguard obediently grabbed Du Ziyan's hand and pulled him up from the ground, making him stand up like a piece of cured meat.
"Smack!"
Another loud slap sent Du Ziyan slapping to the right.
Instantly, both sides of Du Ziyan's face became red and swollen.
"There is one more thing. You have three days to terminate the adoption relationship, or for the Du family to disappear from China."
"There's one more thing. You can't just call Miss Shen that."
Such a handsome boy and girl, how dare a mere, unheard-of family even dream of them?
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
After responding, Du Ziyan fainted.
Shen Lanxin seemed unwilling to let it go, as if she wanted to slap Du Ziyan a few more times.
"A warm welcome to all our distinguished guests. We will provide you with a comfortable environment, so please enjoy the music."
The sounds from the concert interrupted Shen Lanxin's actions, and she suddenly realized that she was still holding Mu Liuyun's small hand.
Although the two had more intimate contact before, this was the first time they had held hands. Feeling Mu Liuyun's smooth little hand, Shen Lanxin's face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away from Mu Liuyun.
"Mr. Chen..."
Mu Liuyun stared wide-eyed. Ever since Shen Lanxin slapped him, he had been staring blankly at her without making any move. He hadn't even noticed that his hand was being held by her.
However, even though he kept looking at Shen Lanxin, he couldn't see the blush on her face because of the angle.
"Thank you."
These words came from the bottom of Mu Liuyun's heart. This was the first time someone outside the orphanage had been willing to speak up for him, or even take action for him. Especially the phrase "my Mu Liuyun," which left him speechless.
Could it be that Shen Lanxin actually cares about me a lot?
Come to think of it, among the bosses, Shen Lanxin is actually the best (most generous with money) except for her tendency to hit people.
"You're welcome."
Shen Lanxin tightened her grip on the small hand, her tone seemingly unchanged, but her charming, three-white-eyed eyes narrowed with a smile.
...
...
In the rest room, Liu Leyao felt increasingly restless: "Why hasn't the phone been called yet? Why hasn't the phone been called yet?"
"..."
"Ahem, Shirong, I'm going out to check why Du Ziyan hasn't come back yet. You get ready."
"Speak," Liu Leyao said, peeking out of the rest room.
Seeing Liu Leyao leave, Wang Shirong started scrolling through his phone.
After several days of private research and selection, he could only find videos of beautiful women dancing on his phone.
"Great, thumbs up!"
Just as Wang Shirong was about to begin to appreciate the music, Liu Leyao suddenly ran back, startling Wang Shirong so much that he dropped his phone on the ground and hurriedly picked up the drumsticks.
"Le Yao, you, why are you back?"
"You're nervous? This isn't like you at all!"
Liu Leyao looked at Wang Shirong with some doubt, but quickly shook her head: "Never mind, hurry up and come over and give me a hand."
Hearing Liu Leyao's words, Wang Shirong looked behind her and saw Du Ziyan, who had just left, lying on the ground. Liu Leyao had to drag him into the lounge. "What happened to him?"
"I didn't know! I saw him lying on the ground as soon as I went out! Come quickly and help!"
"They're here."
With the performance about to begin, Wang Shirong was getting anxious. He threw the drumsticks on the ground and picked up Du Ziyan, placing him on the sofa.
"Du Ziyan, Du Ziyan!"
Liu Leyao was impatient; after calling out twice, she started slapping Du Ziyan's face.
At their calls, Du Ziyan slowly opened her eyes like Sleeping Beauty: "What happened to me?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing! Why are you sleeping by the door with two huge welts on your face? How are you going to go on stage later?"
The original reason for inviting Du Ziyan was to have him perform on stage. For the past six months, the appearance and identity of Lily's keyboardist had been a mystery. They had originally planned to have Du Ziyan appear today to further fuel the fans' enthusiasm.
But now Du Ziyan's face has been injured by something, so it's uncertain whether he can even go on stage or perform normally later.
"The bag? Ah, I remember now!"
Upon hearing Liu Leyao's words, Du Ziyan finally came to his senses and shouted excitedly, "It was Mu Liuyun! It was Mu Liuyun who knocked me out!"
Du Ziyan subconsciously blamed all the mistakes on Mu Liuyun, since Liu Leyao didn't seem to like Mu Liuyun much based on their previous behavior.
"Last time, Mu Liuyun only scolded me, and Liu Leyao got so angry. This time, I said Mu Liuyun hit me and affected the performance; she'll hate Mu Liuyun to death!"
Du Ziyan thought smugly to himself that he didn't dare to do anything to Shen Lanxin after being beaten up, so he could only resent Mu Liuyun even more.
When he returned to China, he was full of confidence and ambition, trying to lead the Du family to new heights with his musical talent.
However, in actual operation, many problems were discovered.
Du Ziyan has absolutely no musical talent whatsoever!
Although Du Ziyan's skill level is good enough to perform on stage, he is far from deserving the title of genius. Those netizens who understand piano can easily hear the problems with his playing.
If public opinion takes hold, it will not only affect the Du family's business, but it will also stifle Du Ziyan, the piano prodigy, in the nightclub. At that time, the Du family will lose all chances of turning things around.
So Du Shang came up with an idea: a rock band!
Rock bands usually have a keyboardist. The keyboardist's electronic keyboard and piano have some connection, but the keyboard is not as difficult as the piano, and it does not require a solo performance.
Therefore, as long as Du Ziyan gets into a famous rock band, he can not only improve his reputation, but also avoid being questioned about his piano skills.
So Du Shang spent a lot of money contacting countless old friends and finally got in touch with Liu Leyao, successfully getting Du Ziyan into the band.
Today was supposed to be the perfect opportunity for him to make his debut and build momentum. He had done a lot of promotion before the concert, but those two slaps completely ruined it.
"What? Mu Liuyun? He's here!"
"Yes, he not only came, but he also hit me! It seems like my brother doesn't want me to perform on stage!"
Du Ziyan's tone was full of grievance, and his words were brimming with the flavor of a green tea b*tch.
However, upon hearing Du Ziyan's words, Liu Leyao's anxiety vanished, replaced by a beaming smile: "That's good, that's good, it's good that he's here."
