Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan's affair had nothing to do with Qin Hanshu. But Xue Duoyan seemed to unilaterally regard Qin Hanshu as a competitor.

No wonder the look she had given Qin Hanshu before was filled with vigilance, jealousy and hatred.

It's so unlucky to get into such trouble for no apparent reason!

On that day, Cao Jing came to pick Qin Hanshu up from get off work as usual.

Rumei also came with them.

Rumei looks a little different today than usual.

Qin Hanshu looked at her and asked, "Did you draw your eyebrows?"

"Ah!" Rumei said in surprise, "Did you notice it? Many people today said that I've become different, but you're the only one who noticed what's different!"

Hearing this, Cao Jing turned her head and looked carefully at Rumei's face, "It's true."

Rumei is beautiful, but her eyebrows are a bit thick, dark and messy.

Her eyebrows were obviously trimmed today, and they were clean and tidy, making her temperament look more calm.

Cao Jing joked: "Why did you suddenly think of dressing up? Are you dating someone?"

Rumei's face flushed red and she quickly shook her head, "No, no!"

She didn't want to say it, and Cao Jing wouldn't ask her about it.

Qin Hanshu thought of Huo Zhenduo and looked at Ru Mei meaningfully.

"Xiao Shu, we have tickets for Yue Opera here, do you want to watch it?" Cao Jing pointed at Ru Mei and said, "She got them and insisted that we go with her."

"But this is a local opera. It's okay if you are not interested. Let Rumei find someone else to accompany her. We can go home."

Qin Hanshu asked: "What time does it start? It will be very late after the show."

Rumei said, "It starts at seven and will be over by at least nine."

Cao Jing: "If you do, you can't go home today. Then you can go to my house, oh, that is, my parents' house, and sleep with me for one night."

Cao Jing obviously wanted to watch it, and if Qin Hanshu didn't want to, Cao Jing would definitely not leave her alone.

Anyway, it’s okay to have some entertainment, so Qin Hanshu said, “Okay, I’ve only heard about Yue Opera on the radio, and I haven’t actually seen it live.”

Cao Jing said happily: "Then go back to the office and call Zhou Weiguang to tell him, and ask him to give your brother a message as well."

There were no public telephones in that era, only offices in companies had telephones.

Cao Jing and Ru Mei were waiting downstairs. Qin Hanshu returned to the seventh floor and called Zhou Weiguang's office. The call was connected after being transferred to another place.

After Qin Hanshu explained the situation, Zhou Weiguang gave him a few instructions.

The theater and the dance troupe were on the same street, and since it was still early, they had lunch first.

After dinner, I walked slowly to the theater and it was almost time.

At that time, the only entertainment products available for the people of the whole country to enjoy were "four meats and eight vegetables", namely four movies including "Tunnel Warfare" and eight model operas.

Local operas, especially those with “decadent music” such as Yue Opera, are banned from performance.

The atmosphere has become more relaxed in the past two years, and due to the demand from the general public, the ban on performances has been relaxed on a small scale.

However, the plays performed were still copied from model operas.

What we watched today was the Yue Opera version of "The Red Lantern".

Even so, the venue was still packed with audiences.

There were many people and Qin Hanshu was pregnant, so Cao Jing and Ru Mei sandwiched Qin Hanshu in the middle to protect her.

Seeing their exaggerated expressions, Qin Hanshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not that serious, don't be nervous."

The two of them didn't listen and surrounded Qin Hanshu and sat down.

Rumei also took out two bags of snacks from her bag. "There are peanuts, melon seeds, dried bayberries and sour apricots. I brought these specially for you. I heard that pregnant women love to eat them."

Qin Hanshu immediately put it into his mouth and nodded to Rumei's expectant face, "Delicious!"

Rumei smiled contentedly, "As long as you like it."

Cao Jing pointed at the stage and said, "It's started."

Although Qin Hanshu didn't understand much, he knew the plot of "Red Lantern" by heart, so there was no problem of not understanding it.

It sounds different if you sing in a different style.

There were occasional bursts of applause in the theater.

Suddenly, Qin Hanshu caught a glimpse of two familiar faces out of the corner of his eyes.

They were Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan, three rows away from her, and located in front of her on the right.

Although the two of them didn't behave intimately, the atmosphere was ambiguous and it was obvious that they had a special relationship.

As long as the people in front of him didn't turn around, they wouldn't be able to see Qin Hanshu. In order to avoid being discovered, Qin Hanshu quickly withdrew his sight and shrank back into the seat, letting the shadow cover himself.

But Rumei had already noticed it and asked her curiously, "Do you know those two people? They look weird, they don't look like a serious couple."

Qin Hanshu looked at her in surprise, "You are quite good, you have a keen eye."

"Did I really guess right?" Rumei came over curiously and asked in a low voice, "Are they having an affair?"

Qin Hanshu thought that since Rumei was not from their company, it would not matter if she knew about it, so he nodded and said, "Yes, they both work in department stores, and the man is married."

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk!” Ru Mei glanced over there again and spat in a low voice, “Disgusting dirty man! His wife is so unlucky to marry him!”

Qin Hanshu quickly turned Rumei's head back and said, "Don't look at me. I'll be embarrassed if you find out."

It was more than just embarrassment. If Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan's affair was discovered, it would be very serious. As long as someone wanted to get Ye Zhongping, this incident could completely ruin his future.

If Ye Zhongping found out that Qin Hanshu knew his secret, there was no telling what he would think.

By then, Qin Hanshu's life at work will be difficult.

Qin Hanshu was a little puzzled. Ye Zhongping should be a very cautious person. How could he bring Xue Duoyan to watch Yue Opera openly? The theater is so close to the unit.

Qin Hanshu asked Rumei: "Where did you get your ticket?"

Rumei's attention had returned to the stage. When she heard the question, she answered casually, "I got it from my father's desk. I heard that the tickets are not sold to the public. They are only distributed to some units in the city, but each unit has very few tickets."

The department store obviously also got the ticket, but Qin Hanshu had never heard of it, which shows that it was intercepted by Ye Zhongping.

In the department store, as long as the secretary and the general manager are excluded, it is no big deal for Ye Zhongping to monopolize a few theater tickets.

That's why he is not afraid of meeting acquaintances.

Even if we take a step back and say that he met someone he knew, he would not be afraid. Catch the thief and take the dirty tricks, catch the adulterer in bed, he and Xue Duoyan did not have any intimate behavior on the surface, so he could just deny it.

Thinking of this, Qin Hanshu suddenly felt uneasy.

She had accidentally overheard Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan's affair, and this was a fact that could not be changed.

If Ye Zhongping eventually knew this fact, she would appear passive.

Because she didn't have any substantial evidence.

However, even if she said that she overheard it by accident, Ye Zhongping probably would not let down his guard.

Qin Hanshu has this problem. He doesn't like things that are not in his hands, even if the probability of this happening is very small.

It seems that we need to pay more attention to Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan.

Have some evidence to be prepared.
