Sheet music number 31
Yu Ji simply stopped the car, and the gate of the villa opened automatically as if inspired.
She was not driving slowly, but Huang Cuifang did not feel any bumps along the way. She parked the car, entered the garage, and opened the door in one smooth motion. The driver's cloth shoes landed silently, and the passenger reacted a little late. It was not until there was a knock on the car window that her thoughts were pulled away from her memories.
"I'll be right down!"
In her haste, she naturally rose more heavily, and her feet landed successfully on the ground. Before she could see the scenery that matched her height, her eyes went dark. Although she could see the light again in just a moment, it was unable to stop her body from leaning forward.
"careful."
Yu Ji reacted very quickly, grabbing her arm with one hand and placing the other across her chest, successfully preventing her from falling beyond recognition. However, his facial expression did not change much, and his tone was as flat as a robot in an American movie.
Huang Cuifang's forehead bumped against her shoulder, and she quickly looked up and said with an awkward smile, "Thank you, Madam Yu. I got up too hastily just now, and everything in front of me suddenly went dark."
"Yeah." Yu Ji let go of his hand and took two steps forward.
Huang Cuifang hurriedly took a step forward to catch up. Yu Ji tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell on the woman beside him who was a head shorter than him. Her height was almost the same as her mother's, but her figure was very different.
She has a rosy complexion and a plump figure. She is not tall but definitely not thin. Perhaps because she has been going in and out of construction sites all year round, there are obvious muscles on her tight calves.
After a moment's thought, she felt compelled to offer a warning: "Mrs. Huang, although you appear to be in perfect health, the blackout you experience upon standing up is likely due to insufficient blood flow to the brain. If this happens frequently, I suggest you go to the hospital for a full-body checkup."
A thought suddenly popped up in Huang Cuifang's mind. Was she saying that her brain was not working well?
No, she felt that Yu Ji had no ill intentions.
She immediately asked, "Mrs. Yu, are you concerned about me?"
Qiao Tian didn't like to express her thoughts, which was a true inheritance from her, but her tone was not as firm as a woman's.
"What else? We may not be close friends yet, but we are partners after all." Yu Ji looked confused. "So I think I should tell you that regular physical examinations are necessary."
Could it be that she felt there was something wrong with her from the beginning?
More questions appeared in Huang Cuifang's mind.
Yu Ji took Huang Cuifang's silence as confusion, so she raced against time, seizing the few minutes before she reached the door, and poured out all the ideas in her mind in simple words.
What is cerebral ischemia and why do you need regular physical examinations?
Huang Cuifang didn't understand why Yu Ji told her this, but her intuition told her that Yu Ji's reminder did not carry any condescending sarcasm, but rather that he was genuinely concerned about her health.
Mrs. Yu said, "Maybe we haven't reached the level of close friends yet." She understood that Mrs. Yu treated her as a friend and cared about her!
Huang Cuifang came to a satisfactory conclusion and couldn't help but feel excited. However, now was not a good time to strengthen their friendship. As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, the door was "induced" and opened inwards like the iron door before.
“Surprise!”
The woman's head popped out from the crack in the door. Her drooping hair was in fashionable big waves, but the bottom was highlighted with colorful colors.
Judging from her face, she was about the same age as them, but her expression was a little exaggerated. Rather than a lively high school student, she looked more like a character from a cartoon, just like the bushes outside.
However, the cartoon character did not receive an adapted response, and Yu Ji did not look like a real person, except that her background was an American blockbuster.
She didn't even raise an eyebrow, her arms folded across her chest as she spoke coldly, "If you wanted to scare me, you should have hidden in the garage."
"snort."
She snorted and revealed her true face.
Huang Cuifang did not wear overly cumbersome clothes today like she did yesterday to meet an important partner. She also did not wear any jewelry. Instead, she chose clothes with comfortable fabrics and simple styles. However, she still could not get rid of the huge brand logo on her chest.
Yu Ji likes to wear cheongsams, which are well-cut and fit her perfectly. The color is an elegant light blue, and her hair is neatly combed, just like her personality.
Huang Cuifang originally thought that she and Yu Ji were already quite different enough, but the woman inside the door showed a completely different style.
She was dressed very casually, but with a distinct personal style. The first thing that caught the eye was the colorful bib around her waist. The colorful bib was not its original color, but was made up of blocks of paint of different sizes, shades, and depths, with seven more shades than a rainbow.
It would be reasonable if the clothes under the apron were also colorful, but what was she wearing?
Not only was it a thigh-length T-shirt, but it also had a logo printed on it that Huang Cuifang thought was more "expensive" than the LV logo she was wearing.
Tsinghua University emblem.
In one hand she held a paintbrush with wet paint, and in the other she held a palette.
The corners of her mouth were raised, her eyes were like two crescent moons, and she had just opened her lips to say something when a middle-aged woman's loud roar came from an invisible place in the room, making the three of them feel their scalps tighten at the same time.
"Madam!" she yelled, her feet landing heavily on the ground. Her Mandarin wasn't standard, but it didn't affect her rapid speech. "I've told you so many times, but you just wouldn't listen. You insisted on taking out the paint palette. Look, look, it's all dripping onto Mr.'s blanket!"
Not only did the woman not turn around, but the smile on her face did not disappear. She whispered to Yu Ji, "You don't know how ugly the blanket your husband picked is, but Wang Lanhua treats it as a treasure."
Yu Ji smiled and said, "Your husband."
Lin Shuangxue glared at her: "Humph, actually I did it on purpose. She always bullied you before, and she even wanted to climb on my head. While destroying Tang Guangyao's blanket, I could also teach her a lesson. Oh yes, the lesson is -"
As she spoke, she shook the paintbrush in her hand twice.
Yu Ji finally smiled and shook his head, "Childish."
She stuck out her tongue and her eyes just fell on Huang Cuifang beside her. The woman in the room came to the door angrily because she didn't get a response.
She had already noticed two women outside and, not caring about their identities, angrily said, "Madam, you are so ignorant! It's so early in the morning and the husband is still sleeping. He has a concert tonight, and you didn't prepare breakfast for her, but why did you invite people to your house?"
As she spoke, she was about to throw herself: "What if you disturb his sleep? Look at you, you can't do this or that. What if that bitch beckons again and the master thinks you're not good enough and goes back? You finally got to the top, don't think about yourself, but also think about Young Master Yangzong. He's a boy who always needs a father."
Yu Ji laughed again, this time mockingly: "Did you really teach her a lesson?"
The woman's smile froze, and the middle-aged woman who rushed out also froze in anger. The reason was nothing else but that the 'bitch' she mentioned just appeared.
That’s right, she was the nanny who originally worked in Yu Ji’s villa, Wang Lanhua.
Wang Lanhua's already bulging eyes widened even further. She immediately pulled the woman behind her and lectured her, "Madam, don't let anyone in. If they snatch your husband away, you won't even have time to cry."
"Haha, really?" The woman rolled her eyes.
Wang Lanhua thought to herself that after all, it was the mistress who took over, and she didn't have the bearing of a mistress at all. But when she thought about how she had followed Tang Guangyao for so many years, she would just teach her more when the time came.
She looked at Yu Ji with disdain and sneered, "Oh, isn't this Ms. Yu Ji? Now you regret coming to ask for help. Let me tell you, even though the new wife can't do anything and only knows how to stay in the studio every day, he and his new wife are still in love."
A new wife? Huang Cuifang later realized that the woman in front of her was actually the rumored mistress that Tang Guangyao had kept outside and who had given birth to a son.
Before Huang Cuifang could gather her anger for beating up the mistress for her friend, she suddenly remembered what Yu Ji had just said about "meeting a friend" and taking her to meet Tang Guangyao was just a coincidence.
Are Yu Ji and Tang Guangyao's mistress friends?
Although Huang Cuifang can understand that the root cause of infidelity is that men do not take good care of their lower body, many mistresses are also cheated of money and sex without knowing it.
Yu Jiren is such a nice person, it's normal not to blame him too much.
But she had never seen two people living in such peace.
As expected of Yu Ji, he opened the eyes of this country bumpkin again.
Huang Cuifang looked at Yu Ji with more admiration.
Lin Shuangxue was really fed up with Wang Lanhua. She slammed the paintbrush on the paint tray twice and swung it away with lightning speed.
Before Yu Ji frowned, he pulled Huang Cuifang back to prevent her expensive clothes from being contaminated again.
Huang Cuifang wasn't nervous. Wang Lanhua stared at the huge stain on her clothes and let out a scream after a while: "Madam, if you want to dump her, wait until I'm not around. This is the nanny uniform that my husband just bought me. It's a very expensive brand name."
Lin Shuangxue's expression was as exaggerated as ever, except she had transformed from a cartoon protagonist into a vicious villain: "I'm dumping you. All you do all day is tell me what to do. It's so annoying."
Wang Lanhua was stunned, as if she couldn't understand why she said that. "Madam, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness. I'm doing this for your own good! Besides, you and I are on the same team. How can you let me down in front of them?"
"Don't try to make connections. Who's on your team?" Lin Shuangxue stretched out her finger and shook it. She stood in front of Yu Ji and said unhappily, "You call me Madam and I think I'm your stepmother. You should understand. She and I have known each other for fourteen or fifteen years. We finally managed to have a secret relationship and finally see the light of day. What are you and Tang Guangyao?"
"What?" Wang Lanhua was shocked. "You are friends with this bitch?"
"She and I are friends, and you are the bitch." Lin Shuangxue sneered.
Wang Lanhua raised her finger and pointed at a few people, saying "you, you, you" for a long time. She was so angry that she couldn't say anything. Finally, she could only stamp her feet and blurt out,
"Just wait for me, I'm going to tell the master!"
Huang Cuifang acted faster than she could think and grabbed her skirt: "Mrs. Yu, tie her up so as not to alert the enemy."
Lin Shuangxue stroked her chin and said seriously, "There happens to be a very soundproof basement in the villa."
Huang Cuifang said seriously, "There should be some hemp rope or something in the basement. Let's take her down and tie her to a pillar."
Lin Shuangxue said excitedly, "Okay, I'll give you one meal a day. It'll just be a little troublesome to poop and pee, and it'll definitely stink after a while."
Yu Ji looked at the two people discussing the bondage and felt overwhelmed. She said helplessly, "Stop, we are now living in a society ruled by law."
As soon as she asked Huang Cuifang to loosen her grip, the frightened Wang Lanhua immediately stumbled upstairs, yelling,
"I must let the master teach you a lesson."
"Oh, she might tell Tang Guangyao soon, and we won't alert the enemy, right?" Huang Cuifang said regretfully.
"We are here to discuss things, not to murder," Yu Ji said helplessly.
Huang Cuifang slapped her head and said with an awkward smile, "I forgot."
Lin Shuangxue stared at Wang Lanhua's back and said with a sigh, "If someone here doesn't know the truth, they'd probably think she's Tang Guangyao's wife."
After she finished speaking, she strode towards the sofa. Most of the decorations in the room were very exaggerated, but the area near the sofa had a simple style that was out of place. The unfinished coffee was still on the coffee table.
Lin Shuangxue kicked the cup to the side with her foot, looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you standing here? Come and sit down."
Yu Ji was familiar with the place, and Huang Cuifang fell on the sofa with a pleasant touch, but she felt more and more itchy all over.
Lin Shuangxue straightened her back and extended a friendly olive branch to her: "My name is Lin Shuangxue. You already know my identity. My relationship with Yu Ji is a little complicated, but it's definitely not bad. You can call me Xiaolin, Xiaoshuang, Xiaoxue, or Shuangxue. Whichever you like."
"Uh, Mr. Frost Snow, uh, hello Miss Frost Snow, hello my name is Huang Cuifang." Huang Cuifang felt that something was wrong with Xiao Lin, and it was weird to call him Madam, so she suddenly had an idea and came up with Miss Frost Snow.
"Okay, Sister Cuifang." Lin Shuangxue didn't see any problem with the address. She turned her head to look at Yu Ji and sputtered a bunch of words, "Is she your friend? Why did you bring her here today? How does her heart compare to Song Duzhou's? If she sees your true face later, she won't be scared and break up with you, right?"
"Why do you have so many questions?" Yu Ji felt a headache when he heard her machine gun-like speaking speed. "She is not just accompanying me today. She also has her own things to deal with. Qiao Daqiang, remember this."
"Oh, she's Qiao Daqiang's wife!" Lin Shuangxue touched her chin and smiled. "Tang Guangyao always says you're a clueless village woman. I don't know why you're messing with business talks. You know nothing, but you're so stubborn about not letting Qiao Daqiang invest. You're completely lacking foresight. Luckily, I never believed his nonsense, otherwise I'd be prejudiced against you, thinking you were someone who couldn't even speak clearly and was difficult to communicate with."
Huang Cuifang rubbed her thighs twice and said, "Tang Guangyao is right. I am indeed an uneducated village woman."
"So what if he didn't go to school?" Lin Shuangxue rolled her eyes. "Tang Guangyao received an elite education from childhood to adulthood. He even claimed to be a top graduate of the Verdi Conservatory of Music in Milan."
She then changed the subject and scoffed, "But back in high school, he was like an idiot and couldn't even understand his homework. He'd either copy my homework or use the test questions I made for him. I taught him painstakingly, explaining a question ten times, but he still couldn't figure it out, you know?"
There was undisguised disgust in Lin Shuangxue's eyes.
Yu Ji sneered, "You know he's mentally retarded, but you still fell in love with him and waited patiently for him—"
Lin Shuangxue covered her mouth and said in fear: "Please save some face for me in front of my new friends."
She clenched her fists and placed them against her lips, coughing lightly twice. "He's not very smart, but he's full of sweet talk and a nice face. I'm only fifteen or sixteen, so it's normal for me to be deceived, right?"
"Young girls are always easily deceived by handsome men. There was a poor girl in our village who got pregnant by a scumbag," she said, disgusted by the incident. "Luckily, the girl came to her senses and didn't commit suicide. She aborted the child and started over."
"Yes, I was so upset when I was cheated. Later, thanks to Yu Ji's comfort, I realized that it was not my fault at all, and he should go to hell first." Lin Shuangxue nodded vigorously.
She now felt Huang Cuifang was becoming increasingly approachable. She leaned closer to her, sitting side by side with her. With a flick of her eye, she said excitedly, "I see you're very mature. You might be an undiscovered genius. Why don't you apply to an adult college? I can teach you."
"Can I still go to college?" Huang Cuifang's face was full of excitement.
"Of course you can. Don't look at me as a lousy painter now. Back then, I was a top student in the Business Administration Department of Tsinghua University." Lin Shuangxue's face was full of pride, and she handed over her business card. "If you want to learn, come find me anytime."
"Okay, okay." Huang Cuifang took the business card with both hands and put it into her wallet like a treasure.
"Mrs. Huang is definitely not stupid to have such a successful business. She should have no problem getting into adult college. But you, on the other hand, are just a lousy artist who can't submit manuscripts." Yu Ji took out his newly bought phone, unlocked the screen, and waved it in front of her. "Your new comic is so popular that I've even received emails from editors asking for submissions."
Lin Shuangxue had long wanted to experience the feeling of being famous, but now that it had finally happened, she couldn't help but look terrified. "I really shouldn't have just flipped your gender. I was just drawing you to disgust you. Who knew that the heroine based on you would be ignored, but once you turned into a man, everyone in the world would kiss you."
Yu Ji's expression was cold: "Really?"
Lin Shuangxue pouted and was about to retort when another annoying guy interrupted them.
Tang Guangyao had only walked halfway down the stairs when his voice had already reached the ears of the three people: "Yu Ji, let me tell you, I didn't realize how good Xiaoxue was before. Even if you kneel down and beg me now, I won't even look at you again!"
Wang Lanhua woke him up from his sleep and chattered a lot of nonsense. He was impatient and wanted to kick her out.
"Sir, that bitch is here, and if you don't take care of her she's going to make a scene!"
Yu Ji is here?
He quickly got up, washed and went downstairs.
He had to make it clear that he was not still in love with that woman. It was simply because he was a kind-hearted person. He had long thought that a woman would not only suffer criticism after divorce, but also have to raise a disobedient child. How difficult it would be.
So when she dragged him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce yesterday morning, he tried to persuade her kindly for a long time, telling her that it wouldn't be too late to calm down for 20 or 30 days before making a decision, and that she should at least consider her beloved daughter.
Not only did the other party not appreciate it, but he also said a bunch of unrealistic things.
"Tang Guangyao, Tang Xi can tell right from wrong better than you. She already knew that our marriage has come to an end. Delaying it will only make everyone miserable."
Haha, he felt like he had raised an ungrateful person yesterday. Which child would support their parents’ divorce?
Today, he thought that Yu Ji must have lied to save face, otherwise how shameful it would be for her, an abandoned woman? Now she must be begging for forgiveness with a face full of regret, but it's too late!
He is just kind, not stupid.
He was too focused on fame and fortune when he was young, but now he knows too well how hard it is to find true love.
He used to not visit Shuangxue once a month. She just waited patiently and never disturbed him. His son was young and didn't know when to stop. He sent him messages every few days saying that he missed him.
Thinking about it now, he felt more and more that Lin Shuangxue's feelings were sincere. Love meant treating him well silently and not disturbing him.
He is a kind man, and now it's time to give her the status she deserves.
Unless Yu Ji shows sincerity and is willing to experience the pain that Shuangxue has experienced, he will not give a penny to the ungrateful mother and daughter.
Now, he should show her how well he could live without her, and then give her a ticket to tonight's concert.
Let her know what it means to be the master of piano and have the streets packed with people.
He concealed his excitement, quickened his pace and went downstairs, ready to show off for the person he believed to be his true love.
As a result, you can see three heads gathered together at a glance, and the scene can be described as full of joy.
Could it be that Shuangxue could actually tolerate Yu Ji's unreasonable behavior for him?
Oh my God, how long had he failed her!
He walked triumphantly behind the sofa, only to find that things were not as he had imagined.
"Look, that's your husband."
"Your husband now."
"He and I haven't got a marriage certificate."
"We got our divorce certificate yesterday."
"Mrs. Yu, you have divorced Tang Guangyao? That's great, congratulations!" Huang Cuifang felt relieved.
What's going on?
Tang Guangyao opened his mouth in astonishment.
Lin Shuangxue turned around, clutching the cup of leftover coffee on the table, and asked with a smile, "Old Tang, you drink coffee every morning. Would you like some now?"
**Men, go drink the stale water that was left overnight after being bitten by mosquitoes.
Tang Guangyao couldn't guess her little thoughts, and the confidence he had lost instantly returned to his chest. Although Lin Shuangxue had no money and no ability, and the comics she drew did not make money, she was beautiful and could give birth to a son. She loved him to death. It must be because he liked generous girls, so he pretended not to care about anything.
He remembered all her kindness. As long as she was willing, they could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tonight and get the reward that should have belonged to her.
Now, let Yu Ji see what a truly loving couple is. He first raised his hand to touch her head, but she turned her head away.
"Shuangxue, you are my only official girlfriend now. You don't have to avoid other people's eyes." He looked at Lin Shuangxue affectionately.
Facing his lover's stunned expression, he tapped his forehead with an increasingly helpless tone, "You."
He changed the subject and said,
"I'm a very nostalgic person, so I absolutely have to have coffee every morning. It has to be Ethiopian coffee beans, with no sugar or milk, otherwise it will only ruin the aroma. Frost and snow, and remember to pay attention to the heat when brewing coffee."
However, although Lin Shuangxue stood up, she had no intention of walking towards the coffee pot. Instead, she stuffed the paintbrush into the coffee cup and stirred it like Hun Tian Ling, then quickly pulled it out and used his face as a discarded canvas without hesitation, leaving a large cross with a complex color scheme. The paint mixed with coffee quickly flowed into his open mouth.
Lin Shuangxue put away her brush with satisfaction and cursed loudly,
"Fuck your girlfriend, fuck your nostalgia, fuck your temper. If I wasn't afraid that you'd cling to Yu Ji and refuse to divorce, I wouldn't be happy to play along for even a minute. Now that we've got the divorce certificate, pack up your things and get out!"
