Ye Chenming moved, and after a drumbeat, Ye Ren began to play the piano. At first, the piano playing was a little unfamiliar, but gradually, the music became smoother.
A piece titled "Autumn Whispers" flowed gently from the strings, accompanied by Ye Huili's violin and piano. The tinkling notes were filled with Ye Ren's deepest feelings and passion.
Yu Shu sat next to Yan Xiaonan, tears streaming down her face. Her great-grandparents had such a deep bond, as did her parents. She was so lucky to be born into such a family.
Grandma Yan's mouth dropped open, and all her drowsiness vanished when she saw the Ye family father and sons playing the violin on stage.
"Nan Nan, my sweet baby! How come all three members of the Ye family know how to do this? This is the kind of wealth a wealthy family has."
“Inherited knowledge, milk, and the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are standard for them; there’s no way around it,” Yan Xiaonan replied.
"oh"
Grandma Yan nodded. She also remembered the piano and other strange things in the backyard. Not only Yu Shu and Tian Ru could play it, but even En Ming could wave her little hands and play a tune or two.
I originally thought it was just about educating the three children, but it turns out everyone in that family knows how to do it. I guess even the deceased Fu Qingping probably knows how. Grandma Yan stretched out her hands and looked at them again and again.
These hands, after so many years of pampered life, no longer bear the marks of their former hard work; all that remains are the rings of time. With a simple movement of her fingers, she could even sit down at the piano and play a piece.
"Nan Nan, do you think milk can be bouncy?" Grandma Yan's face crinkled with laughter.
"Yes, but not here. We'll play it when we get home. There's a piano in the little house," Yan Xiaonan said softly.
Tianru had very sensitive hearing and overheard his great-grandmother and mother's conversation. He decided that when he returned to the capital, he would go to a music store to choose the best piano for his great-grandmother so that she could also enjoy it.
After Ye Ren finished his performance, he received a thunderous applause from the audience. "At first hearing, one doesn't understand the meaning of the music; upon hearing it again, one becomes a part of the music. The longing in the music remains, but the person from one's dreams is gone. One only wishes to enter that dream again, to dream of lingering, tender feelings. The lingering, passionate love burns brightly in the heart, but the music ends, the audience disperses, and all is lost."
Ye Chenming has already reserved the hotel's premium rooms and distinctive river-view suites, especially the premium rooms, which are a place that Ye Ren and Fu Qingping often visit in their spare time.
That night, Ye Chenming dared not let his grandfather sleep alone, clinging to him and staying by his side relentlessly. When his grandfather slept in the bed, he dragged the sofa to the side of the bed, and even slept with one eye open.
But he forgot that his father, Ye Huili, was also alone in the room, grieving for his lover, Chenming's mother, who had once been the girl he deeply loved.
Although it was her family's insatiable greed that led him to commit murder, this was precisely the main reason that drove his lover away. Oh well, the past is the past, and there's no point in thinking about it anymore. When he closes his eyes, all he sees is his beloved girl's every smile.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Ye Huili put on his coat and headed towards the bar. The bar had changed; all the old traces had been wiped away, and it had been replaced with a very modern decor.
Ordering a glass of Martell and a cigar, Ye Huili felt like he was floating on air as he listened to some melodious dance music. At some point, a young girl leaned against his shoulder, expressing her confusion and disillusionment at being abandoned.
After a few rounds of drinks, Ye Huili was already a little tipsy, and the way he looked at the girl changed: "Yaoyao, is that you? Have you finally come back to find me?"
The girl linked arms with Ye Huili and said with a coquettish smile, "How did you know my name is Yao Yao? It seems we are destined to be together."
The two left the bar together, and before leaving, the girl winked at a young man inside.
After Yan Xiaonan coaxed Grandma Yan to sleep, she asked Tian Ruyu to stay with her while she carried Enming to the room to put him to sleep. Enming was a little excited today, but he couldn't resist the invasion of his biological clock and fell asleep with his head tilted to the side.
Yan Xiaonan was also a little sleepy. Before going to sleep, she was still worried about Ye Ren and the others. Her consciousness spread out and she found that Ye Ren had already fallen asleep. She felt much more at ease. Her consciousness continued to spread. Hmm, where did Ye Huili go?
Yan Xiaonan's sleepiness was instantly dispelled, and she hurriedly began searching. When she finally found it, Yan Xiaonan almost covered her face in embarrassment.
He quickly sent a message to Ye Chenming. Ye Chenming was surprised but also somewhat understanding of his father. After living alone for so many years, it was time for him to release his emotions.
By the time the two arrived at the girl's room, they had already done what they should and shouldn't have done, so there was no point in them barging in.
If the other party had a respectable family background and was an upright person, that would be fine. Unfortunately, the other party is clearly from a brothel. For such a person to enter the Ye family is an insult to the Ye family and would definitely make Ye Ren die of anger.
But Ye Ren has always been a self-respecting person, so how could he easily fall into someone else's trap? Yan Xiaonan's consciousness explored the past again, and a strong smell of alcohol revealed the answer.
Ye Chenming was furious. If it was Ye Ren's own fault, then it was the Ye family's responsibility. If he was framed, then the Ye family would make that person pay the price.
The hotel's general manager was summoned to the monitoring room overnight and had a clear view of Ye Ren's movements. The young man in the bar had poured a small packet of powder into Ye Ren's third Martell.
Martell costs 1,000 dollars an ounce. Ye Ren drank three glasses, which is three ounces. A Cuban cigar costs 3,000 dollars. The bartender actually recorded 10,000 dollars on Ye Huili's bill.
When they check out and settle the bill tomorrow, Ye Chenming will definitely not doubt the 10,000 yuan. After all, with such a grand feast costing hundreds of thousands, how could they possibly notice such a detail?
And that prostitute clearly had a close relationship with the bartender; both of them seemed to be seasoned veterans of the entertainment industry. Upon seeing this, the hotel manager broke out in a cold sweat.
Others may not know the Ye family's status, but he knows it best, especially Ye Ren, who was a leading figure in Shanghai back then. These people actually dared to scheme against Ye Huili; they were truly audacious.
A secret phone call was made, and the bartender and the woman were taken away that very night. Why did they scheme against Ye Huili? Were they blinded by greed or were they backed by someone? This requires investigation by the relevant authorities.
Ye Chenming took away all the records related to Ye Huili. He also requested that the surveillance cameras on this floor be turned off for no more than ten minutes.
