Chapter 239: Using Green Tea to Defeat Green Tea, Falling in Love with the Warlord (18)
"Miss! Miss! Miss, please leave. It is forbidden to visit the Pear Garden casually."
When the manager of the opera house saw Sun Qianying, he hurried over to stop her, but his attitude was respectful.
Anyone wearing a silk dress like this must be from a wealthy or noble family, and they can't afford to offend her.
"I have an appointment with Mr. Yan here. Please take me there."
The manager had a bitter look on his face and wanted to say something, but Sun Qianying took out a few dollars from her small bag and handed them over.
"Thank you."
"Hehe, no problem, no problem." The manager chuckled, took the money, and walked inside with a nod and a bow towards Sun Qianying. He didn't notice the flash of disdain and disgust in Sun Qianying's eyes.
The two of them crossed the courtyard and came to the back of the stage. "Miss, this is it. Mr. Yan is right here."
"Well, go down."
"yes."
Sun Qianying clenched the bag in her hand and bit her lip. There was struggle and tension in her eyes. She raised her hand and hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Li Ziyan thought it was someone from the opera house and was not on guard. He continued to wipe the oil paint off his face in front of the mirror. But when he raised his head again, Sun Qianying's face appeared in the mirror.
"...Miss, may I ask how you got in?"
"Are you still going to play dumb?" Sun Qianying's face turned pale, her chest rising and falling. "Li Ziyan, why did you lie to Brother Zhiyao?"
"I'm sorry, miss, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Heh, why did you disguise yourself as a woman and get close to Brother Zhiyao? At this point, do you think you can keep pretending?"
Li Ziyan sighed in his heart, not knowing whether this girl was stupid or really admired Han Zhiyao. Her first reaction was that he was disguising himself as a woman to deceive Han Zhiyao, not that Han Zhiyao liked him.
"I don't know what tricks you used on Brother Zhiyao, but you'd better stay away from Brother Zhiyao from now on, otherwise I will tell him about this!" Sun Qianying was really angry. When she thought that she couldn't even beat a man who was an actor, her heart was filled with depression, and more of a sense of shame and indignation.
She is the daughter of the deputy director of the Transportation Bureau and the apple of her family's eye. How could she be defeated by such a man?
"You don't have to deny it. We both know it. I'll remember your face, your voice, even if it turns to ash!" Sun Qianying didn't want to give Li Ziyan a chance to deny it, and she didn't want this matter to end well. Every word she said was aggressive. "Before you do anything, you should also consider whether you have the qualifications. You are just a lowly actor. Even if someone praises you, you are just a street singer. What qualifications do you have to be with Brother Zhiyao?"
“…”
"Brother Zhiyao is an intellectual. He has received the latest Western education. How could he possibly be attracted to a remnant of the old society like you?"
Perhaps it was the indignation of being rejected and the shame of discovering the truth that caused Sun Qianying to lose the calmness and gentleness she had maintained in the past, and become quite hysterical and crazy.
Li Ziyan just sat there quietly looking at her, raised his hand to wipe his face with a towel, and spoke.
"You said you like Zhiyao, but do you understand him?"
"Of course I understand him! He went abroad to study at a young age, and after returning home, he made great military achievements and was capable of anything. For him, I went to school, gained knowledge, and became a better person, just to be worthy of him."
"Really?" Li Ziyan smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm on his face. "He went abroad and received a Western education, but he advocates a combination of Chinese and Western cultures and still embraces traditional culture. You say my singing is lowly, but he enjoys listening to operas and music. You say he can do anything, but you don't know that he's so tired every day that he sleeps soundly, his brow furrowed."
Sun Qianying stood there with a blank expression, but Li Ziyan did not stop.
"You said you wanted to become a better person, so what are you pursuing? Equality? Do you think you and I are equal? You said you like Han Zhiyao, you admire his heroic spirit, you like his majestic demeanor and his picturesque features, but you don't know that he can get angry, and that he has an ordinary side. The him you like is just a figment of your imagination, you've projected your own fantasies onto him. If you saw his true side, would you still like him?"
"I……"
"I will, Miss Sun. I know you may have feelings for me, but they're not real feelings. If you don't want your image in Han Zhiyao's heart to get worse, you'd better not do this again." Li Ziyan stood up from the stool, walked to the door and opened it. "It's getting dark, Miss Sun, please go back."
Sun Qianying didn't know how she left the opera house. She just felt her mind was blank. She didn't know what to say or what to think.
Her complexion was not good, and was a little pale. When she came back, Han Zhiyao had already arrived home.
The old lady saw her expression at a glance and frowned slightly, "Qianying, what's wrong?"
The old lady's voice brought Sun Qianying back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and threw herself into Han Zhiyao's arms.
Her action was so sudden that Han Zhiyao didn't even notice her, and she threw herself at him. He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but Sun Qianying burst into tears.
"Wow, brother Zhiyao, why does he treat you like that!"
"What's going on?"
"Ms. Sun, please let go," Han Zhiyao frowned, but the other party was a girl, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Everyone else was also shocked. They didn't expect Sun Qianying to do such an outrageous thing.
"Qianying, there are differences between men and women. Let Zhiyao go quickly and talk it over."
Sun Qianying shook her head and cried, "Brother Zhiyao, don't like Miss Li anymore. He's a liar! He's a man! He's here to deceive you!"
“Let go!”
"Don't be silly! He is Mr. Yan from the Liyuan Opera House!"
"What?!" Everyone in the room exclaimed, but the old lady frowned, and Han Zhiyao reached out and pushed Sun Qianying away.
"Miss Sun, I don't want to say anything bad to you because you're a girl and for your parents' sake. You'd better be careful with your words and actions!"
"You don't believe me?! I saw him today and he admitted it! If you don't believe me, then go confront him! Ask him to come and see you and see if what I said is true!" Sun Qianying lost her composure, but the man had a frosty face and even the corners of his mouth were cold.
Han Zhiyao snorted coldly. He didn't expect that Sun Qianying would find out about this matter, but even if she did, so what? He would not allow Li Ziyan to be bullied.
"You went to find him?!"
"Yes, do I want to see you being deceived by him?! He is just an actor, how can he be worthy of you!"
"I know he's a man, he's my lover, and he'll be my husband in the future. It's not your place to interfere in our affairs."
Han Zhiyao panted heavily and bent down to the old lady, "Grandma, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"...Yes." The old lady nodded, knowing that Han Zhiyao was going to look for Li Ziyan. She looked at the pitiful crying Sun Qianying and sighed, "Miss Sun, this is the Marshal's Mansion after all. We haven't made any engagement, so Zhiyao's marriage cannot be interfered with by outsiders. I will contact Deputy Director Sun later and send you back tomorrow."
