Yuan Zimi held the jade hairpin in her hand, playing with it.
After a long while, he looked up and glanced at Su Yan.
"Are you short of money?"
Su Yan was puzzled
"kindness?"
“He held onto hairpins that others casually discarded like treasures all the way.”
Su Yan was taken aback.
Yuan Zimi noticed that she remained silent.
He then poked Su Yan's cheek with a hairpin.
"What? Did I hit a nerve?"
Su Yan
"No."
As she spoke, she reached for the hairpin.
"I want to keep it."
Yuan Zimi raised an eyebrow.
They didn't stop her, letting her take the hairpin back.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
Su Yan spoke very quickly.
"I've arrived, I'm going down now."
He raised his eyelids slightly, but didn't say anything more.
Su Yan got out of the car and quickly walked into the Paramount Ballroom.
As soon as she entered the Paramount, she saw the Paramount's proprietress.
She wore a simple cheongsam and had her hair styled in a bun, without much embellishment.
When the proprietress saw Su Yan return, her eyes lit up.
He walked up to Su Yan
"Peony, I thought you were going to stay at the Marshal's Mansion for a few more days."
I didn't expect you to be back so soon.
Su Yan nodded.
"Nothing happened, so I came back."
"It's good that you came back early. You have no idea how dissatisfied the audience was yesterday when you weren't there."
I reckon it'll be a huge hit when you go on stage tonight.
The proprietress was exceptionally warm towards Su Yan.
After all, she's the star attraction of their Paramount Ballroom; more than half of the customers come specifically for her.
Of course, it's important to maintain good relationships.
As they were talking, the proprietress's gaze fell on Su Yan's hairpin.
"Huh? Isn't this the hairpin that Peony always wears?"
How did it end up in your hands?
Su Yan held the hairpin
"She gave it to me."
The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said...
"When did you two become so close?"
She absolutely adores this hairpin.
I never imagined I'd have to part with it and give it to you.
As she spoke, the proprietress seemed somewhat pleased.
Peonies and peonies were the mainstays of her Paramount Ballroom.
If the two get along well and appear on stage together in the future, it will likely cause a packed house of guests.
Thinking about it this way, the proprietress covered her lips with her handkerchief and smiled happily.
Time flies, and three days have passed.
For the past three days, Su Yan has neither reduced Yuan Zimi's supply nor seen the peony.
Until the afternoon of the fourth day.
Su Yan was putting on makeup, preparing backstage.
The proprietress strode in and came to Su Yan's side.
Her tone was a little anxious.
"Peony, I've always treated you fairly well, haven't I?"
Su Yan nodded
"kindness"
Then, the proprietress said another sentence
"I know you have your rules. You don't participate in anything except singing, and you don't drink with the guests."
But, but this time, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you.
As Su Yan listened, she noticed the landlady's anxiety.
It's remarkable that a woman could establish herself in this chaotic warlord-dominated area and even open a place like the Paramount.
That alone is enough to demonstrate the woman's skillful methods.
As far as I can remember, the proprietress was always calm and composed, always greeting people with a smile.
Even when a customer, enraged, held a gun to the proprietress's neck, she remained calm and composed.
Why are we in such a hurry now?
It seems we've really encountered a major problem.
Su Yan
"good."
She agreed.
The proprietress's eyes lit up, and she reached out and grabbed Su Yan's shoulder.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Mudan is a very aloof person.
Covered in thorns.
I was genuinely afraid she wouldn't agree.
