Chapter 97: Actors in the Republic of China (5)



The stage was crowded with people.

The melody is gentle and the singing is casual, which can also arouse waves of applause.

Chu Xiaoer looked at the woman who was the center of attention, and jealousy welled up in her heart.

Why does she get so much attention from men? It's just because she has a pretty face.

Qu Lingyuan spotted Chu Xiaoer squeezing in at a glance, and paid her some attention. She didn't rush to leave after getting off the stage.

As soon as she stepped off the stage, almost half of the people in the theater were gone.

Chu Xiaoer chased to the back of the stage with a proud and arrogant attitude.

"What did you mean last time when you said I was unworthy?" Her tone was full of aggression and she looked down on others.

Qu Lingyuan placed her delicate hands on her belly in a proper manner and smiled softly, "That's not what I said, Miss Chu, please don't slander me."

She didn't say it, she just asked "Does she deserve it?"

Chu Xiaoer snorted lightly, her tone filled with disdain: "You think you can get away with this? Qu Lingyuan, no matter how pitiful you try to act, you're still an opera singer. Calling you an opera singer is a compliment. You're just a slut, very dirty. You have no right to criticize me!"

Her charming face looked a little ferocious.

Chu Xiaoer felt that she was not wrong and what she said was true.

"Lingyuan, Shujin is here." Yiling suddenly jumped out from the sky.

Qu Lingyuan tried hard not to let her eyes wander to Yi Ling. Her eyelashes fluttered and her eyes were misty. Her frail figure stood there, full of fragility. She pursed her red lips, clutched the clothes on her chest with one hand, and was about to fall.

Anyone who sees it will feel pity.

"Are you still pretending?" Chu Xiaoer took two steps forward, trying to brush away the jade hand that was grabbing her clothes.

As soon as his palm touched the back of her hand, Qu Lingyuan staggered and fell backwards.

There is drama both on and off the stage, and she will not give up the opportunity to perform.

Chu Xiaoer was stunned. Shu Jin's calm voice came from behind her: "What are you doing?"

Qu Lingyuan supported herself on the ground to steady herself, her upturned eyes filled with tears as she looked at Shu Jin: "Master Jin..."

She didn't say much. When she saw Shujin looking at her, she hurriedly lowered her head, turned her face away as if to hide her tears, and quickly left.

Shu Jin still saw her misty eyes and the dust on the back of her dress.

He looked at Chu Xiaoer: "Why did you push her?"

"Mr. Jin, she fell by herself!" Chu Xiaoer stared at her, at a loss.

"Chu Xiaoer, you change so quickly." Shu Jin's eyebrows raised, he was a little disappointed with Chu Xiaoer, and turned away.

On the day Chu Yin was buried, she cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. For a period of time afterwards, she felt sad whenever she saw flowers falling.

She was originally gentle and kind, so why did she become so aggressive when she met Qu Lingyuan?

Just because he was an actor? She looked down on actors so much?

Shu Jin didn't think too much about it, women are always troublesome.

The purpose of his coming here today was not to deal with such trivial matters.

Finding Qu Yuanxiang sitting in the yard, Shu Jin sat down in front of him without any courtesy.

Instead, Qu Yuanxiang stood up from his chair with a respectful look on his face.

"Why did Master Jin come here suddenly?"

"My grandma wants to go to the opera and would like to invite you over." Shu Jin picked up the teacup in front of him and turned it in his hands.

Qu Yuanxiang stepped forward and poured him some tea, saying slowly, "Mr. Jin, you're really being kind when you say 'please.'"

Seeing that he had agreed, Shu Jin raised the corner of his lips, as if remembering something: "Qu Lingyuan must come."

The hand pouring the tea paused slightly, and Qu Yuanxiang shook his head stubbornly: "Master Jin, you should go ask her in person. I raised this child by myself. I treat her like my own daughter and never arrange any drama for her. She did it all on her own accord."

If she were allowed to perform on stage every day, Feng Xi Troupe might earn more money, but Qu Yuanxiang never regarded her as a member of the troupe, but as his own daughter.

Shu Jin didn't get angry. He stood up from his chair and said calmly, "Okay, then I'll go there myself."

Qu Yuanxiang didn't even take a sip of the tea, his deep eyes staring blankly at the teacup.

It was obvious from the look on Jin Ye's face that he knew where Ling Yuan's room was.

He was still worried that Mr. Jin would fall in love with Ling Yuan.

He knows the child he raised very well.

Qu Lingyuan's gentle and lazy appearance in private makes people unable to get angry at all. They just want to hold the moon in front of her just to make her smile.

She is like a cup of intoxicating poison, with a fatal attraction.

Qu Yuanxiang asked himself, if he were a dozen years younger, his father's love would probably have deteriorated.

No matter how strong Mr. Jin's willpower is, he is still a man.

No matter how beautiful Ling Yuan is, she is not suitable to marry a warlord.

But Qu Yuanxiang was not qualified to comment on this matter.

......

Shu Jin certainly knew Qu Lingyuan's room.

Without knocking, he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Qu Lingyuan leaning on a carved wooden chair with a jade wine pot on the table in front of her. She was slightly drunk, her makeup was half removed, her cheeks were lightly flushed, and her clothes were messy.

Hide away and drink by yourself?

But he is really hopeless.

"Mr. Jin is here?" Qu Lingyuan looked up and saw the person coming, but she didn't stand up. She half-closed her eyes, her vision was hazy, and her tone became more gentle and graceful. She greeted him quite naturally.

Shu Jin raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he felt like he was here to solicit a prostitute.

And he is a regular customer.

"Yeah." He responded lightly, without saying the purpose of his visit. He sat down opposite Qu Lingyuan quite naturally and just looked at her.

Qu Lingyuan met his gaze, even moving closer across the table to his face: "Master, do you think my face is pretty?"

Shu Jin's eyes were gloomy but with a smile: "She is quite beautiful."

When you get close, her face is as beautiful as jade, her fragrance is as fragrant as orchid, and it is a pleasure to see and smell. How can she not be beautiful?

Qu Lingyuan exhaled softly, her eyes dejected: "What a pity, she's just a vase~"

There is always a cuteness at the end of her voice, like a seductive kitten's tail.

No one spoke for a long time, and Qu Lingyuan just drank glass after glass of wine.

The wine glass in his hand was snatched away.

Shu Jin held the wine glass and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with her lips pouting coquettishly. He just found it amusing: "You sing very well."

"Master Jin is really bringing up something irrelevant. Didn't you see how Chu Xiao'er despises me?"

Qu Lingyuan smiled bitterly, and Shu Jin remained silent again.

As if she was emotional, she kept chattering one sentence after another.

"I don't know what I did to offend her that made her so angry and targeted me."

"I've never been with a man, nor have I seduced anyone..."

"I envy Chu Xiaoer. After all, she's from a respectable family, with people loving her and pampering her..."

“I really like opera…”

"This pretty face is a liability."

"I've never had any same-sex friends, and they all don't like me..."

The sweet whispers came into Shujin's ears intermittently.

It was the first time that he was willing to listen to someone chattering like this. In the past, he always felt annoyed, but Qu Lingyuan's voice sounded refreshing to his ears.

I just stared at her red lips that were opening and closing, and wanted to cover them.

"Mr. Jin, do you also think I'm unbearable?" She suddenly turned her head, her eyes hazy with a smile, but that smile was not gentle, but full of coldness.
