Yu Keke arrived at the scene with her teacher.
Bai, who was around, also saw it and went up to greet them.
"Oh right, your teacher is also an award recipient this time. Keke, you're amazing! Your teacher bringing you to this public event is basically giving you free publicity."
Yu Keke has always been a violinist in the city's music troupe. Because of her study abroad experience at a well-known music academy abroad, coupled with her own talent, she became a student of a well-known musician in China at a young age.
The music troupe doesn't make money, and they're always flying around so busy they barely have time to rest. As a result, Yu Keke rarely participates in the troupe's activities. For a long time, she's just a nominal violinist, occupying a position within the troupe.
Today's city commendation meeting is a major annual event in the city. Yu Keke knew that her teacher was on the invitation list, so she contacted her teacher a week in advance.
She knew Lin Qin must be on the invitation list, along with the man who had been secretly helping her, and even the award presenter for this event.
So she begged her teacher for a long time before finally getting the teacher's permission to take her along.
On the way there, the teacher was still patiently trying to persuade her.
"Take advantage of your youth to accumulate more experience and learn more. The violin is an instrument that will regress if you don't practice for a day. Since you have talent, don't waste it."
How many people want to join our music group? And how many of them will actually get a permanent position in the municipal cultural troupe? Now that you're in this position, you need to do your job diligently and not let people down.
Yu Keke readily agreed, but her mind was in turmoil.
When she first graduated, thanks to her connections with Lin Qin, Xu Mu, and Bai and others, she easily got into the performing arts troupe, a regular, stable job with a permanent position.
But her monthly salary of 18,000 yuan wasn't even enough for a single meal.
In the past year or two, she has rarely gone back to work. Anyway, this position is hers, and with so many people backing her up, no one dares to say anything.
Her main source of income is the monthly financial support from Lin Chin.
This kind of life has continued for many years. Even though her family's fortunes have declined, she has never suffered any hardship, and her standard of living has not decreased at all.
But ever since Lin Qin stopped sending money to her card not long ago, Yu Keke has had an extremely difficult two months.
He kept paying her father's medical bills, so she didn't have to worry about that, but she was struggling to make ends meet for her own expenses.
Although Xu Mu was also helping her, the Xu family was in dire straits, and Xu Mu himself only had tens of thousands of yuan in living expenses per month. Even if he gave it all to her, it would not be as much as the fraction of what Lin Qin had given her before.
A growing sense of crisis led Yu Keke to seize every opportunity to meet Lin Qin.
So when she saw Lin Qin outside the conference room, Yu Keke immediately pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears and grievance, and stared at him silently.
Even if they were having a cold war under normal circumstances, Lin Qin would never go this long without contacting her, let alone cut off her financial support.
So this time, Yu Keke took the initiative to show weakness, such an obvious signal of seeking reconciliation, she didn't believe he wouldn't see it.
Sure enough, Lin Qin walked over.
Yu Keke lowered her head, biting her lip, her shoulders trembling slightly, waiting for Lin Qin's hand to gently rest on her shoulder.
After a while, sure enough, a hand patted her shoulder. Yu Keke slowly raised her head and made a gesture. When she looked up, she saw her teacher standing in front of her, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Keke, what's wrong? Why are you crying? You haven't seemed right the whole way. Why don't we go back first?"
Yu Keke shook her head haphazardly, no longer caring about the teacher, and hurriedly turned around to look at the door.
Lin Qin completely ignored her and walked towards Jin Shu, who was standing at the door!
What is she doing here?!
"Ke Ke? Yu Ke Ke! What's wrong with you? Go back, I don't need you to stay with me."
Upon hearing this, Yu Keke quickly snapped out of her daze, suppressing the unease and helplessness in her heart, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I have a slight fever today. Please forgive me. I'm fine, I don't need to rest. Let me take you to the rest room."
Before the awards ceremony began, all the guests went to the backstage lounge.
The teacher frowned, concealing her displeasure, and patiently followed her to the lounge.
As Yu Keke left, she kept turning back, and each time she turned back, she could see Lin Qin's gaze fixed on Jin Shu, as if he hadn't seen her at all.
She suppressed her disappointment and anger, escorted the teacher to the lounge, then made an excuse to go to the restroom, before eagerly returning to the door.
The two people were still standing at the door, talking about something.
She stood to the side, trembling, her weak and fragile state, as if she were about to faint at any moment, quickly attracted the attention of Xu Mu and Bai and the others around her.
"Keke, what's wrong?"
Yu Keke didn't say anything, but threw herself into Xu Mu's arms and sobbed. Her restrained and desperate state made the two of them realize what had happened.
Surrounded by Bai, he exclaimed, "Holy crap, what's wrong with Lin Qin? Did Jin Shu really drug him?! Has he gone mad?!"
Xu Mu: "Let's go, talk to him and make him settle things! If he says Jin Shu is clinging to him, I guarantee Jin Shu will pay the price! But if he's doing it willingly, then fine, from now on you have nothing to do with him! I no longer consider him a brother!"
As he spoke, Xu Mu angrily dragged Yu Keke outside. People coming and going were all prominent figures in the city. Today, he was determined to make Lin Qin lose face!
Bai Ye followed behind, glaring angrily at Lin Qin and Jin Shu.
Seeing these three people appear before him, Lin Qin realized they were there to cause trouble, so he spoke gently to Jin Shu.
"I'll prove to you with my actions right now that from now on, I only want you."
Jin Shu hadn't rolled her eyes this big in a long time.
Where does this scoundrel get the confidence to say such a thing?
However, Jin Shu was still happy to watch the show. In the original story, the original owner suffered a lot of undeserved misfortunes because of the love-hate relationship between the two. Today, it was her turn to watch the show.
Jin Shu's silence gave Lin Qin great courage. A smile bloomed on his face, and after giving her a deep look, he turned around to face his former friend.
"I thought I had made myself clear enough."
Xu Mu was always willing to fight for Yu Keke. He was so angry that he felt like he was the one who had been betrayed. If Bai hadn't been there to stop him, he would have already punched her.
"What do you mean? So you're going to completely cut ties with Ke Ke because of this woman?" (End of Chapter)
