Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
They seemed to disbelieve the seemingly delicate and beautiful young man before them.
It's unbelievable that someone would have such malicious thoughts.
Sensing the sudden drop in room pressure, Si Jin flipped through the script and casually remarked:
“I’m just kidding. What I mean is, throw her far away, or better yet, lock her inside the house.”
So as not to let her disturb our performance.
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Jiangli and asked:
What do you think, Miss Qin?
"Oh, right."
Caught off guard, Qin Jiangli was struck by that abyss-like gaze, and her heart immediately leaped into her throat.
Nodding in agreement:
"Remember to lock her up."
Si Jin nodded slightly to her, showing politeness.
The theater owner was dumbfounded.
I stood there for a while before I realized what was happening—
Qin Jiangli glanced at Pei Sijin once and then appointed him to play the matchmaker.
Moreover, it also caused him to break the principles he had always adhered to.
Everyone in the opera world knows that anyone who performs with Qin Jiangli will achieve great success.
It seems that after today, Pei Sijin will become famous all over the country again.
The theater owner, adept at currying favor, immediately went to Si Jin's side and enthusiastically served him tea and water:
"Sijin, come here, come here. You'll be performing this afternoon. Have some water to moisten your throat."
"Sing along well with Miss Qin! Our Peach Blossom Garden is counting on you from now on."
Si Jin accepted the tea he offered with a faint smile.
Her smile was gentle and warm.
It was as if they were contemplating how to kill this opportunistic scoundrel to feel truly satisfied.
… …
Afternoon, 2:30 pm.
Half an hour before the start of "The Romance of the Western Chamber".
The area beneath the stage in Peach Blossom Garden was filled with Shanghai's celebrities.
They sat in neat rows, eagerly awaiting the start of the opera.
Qin Jiangli is a well-known actress.
In this bustling metropolis where various forces intertwined, it was universally sought after by everyone.
Now that she's going to perform in Peach Blossom Garden, everyone is excited.
Zhou Xingbang invited a few of his cronies to sit in the second row, slightly to the left of the middle, and proudly showed off:
"Just you wait and see, the matchmaker who sang a duet with Qin Jiangli today is my woman."
Lao Tzu was quite farsighted, investing in a star who was about to become a sensation.
You bunch of short-sighted people, just wait and see how envious you are!
The underlings followed suit with flattery:
"Yes, who is our young master Zhou? He's the most famous playboy in Shanghai's red-light district."
"Your eye for talent is always spot on, isn't it?"
"By the way, Brother Zhou, as you instructed, I specially invited a few more people over today. They are all highly paid martial arts practitioners."
After the show ends, we'll drag that sissy who pointed a gun at you yesterday out and give him a good beating.
"To avenge your bodyguards who died at his hands last night."
"Okay, no problem, just remember this." Zhou Xingbang replied casually, continuing to focus on the stage.
For him, a bodyguard's life is just as valuable as money.
Dying is nothing more than losing a few hundred dollars.
He doesn't care.
The real reason he wanted to kill Si Jin was because that bitch had pointed a gun at him yesterday.
It made him lose face in front of Huang Huang and Qing Mianliu.
Moreover, catching that sissy, beating him up, and then handing him over to Huang Huang would also improve his relationship with the Green Gang.
Why not?
On the other side, Zhou Xingbang was drinking a little wine and cracking sunflower seeds.
Three rows behind him, in the middle seat, Qi Linyuan had a somber expression.
Lu Zhiyang sat beside him, his head full of question marks:
"Lord of the city, didn't you never like watching plays before?"
Why did you suddenly decide to come to Peach Blossom Garden today? And even went so far as to buy tickets from scalpers at exorbitant prices?
Why weren't you this generous when you gave out bonuses?
Qi Linyuan: ...
He glanced at Lu Zhiyang beside him with disgust, not wanting to say anything.
He sat motionless, focused on the stage.
I wonder if the young actor who saved him yesterday will come back to perform.
He's so handsome, he must be a star in Peach Garden, right?
Qi Linyuan placed his hands clasped on his lap and silently prayed:
You absolutely have to come! You absolutely have to come!
