Around 8:30, Zhou Jiyun quietly left his seat. Xie Jing shifted her posture slightly, her eyes following Zhou Jiyun. She had a guess about what Zhou Jiyun would perform, and she had even guessed it. But precisely because she had guessed it, she felt even more excited.
She always feels happy when someone takes the trouble to prepare a surprise for her, provided that the person preparing the surprise is someone special.
At this time, the host also began to introduce the program flow: "Next program is Zhou Jiyun and Jay Chou's piano solo "Adelina by the Waterside". Applause, please welcome Mr. Zhou Jiyun!"
Before the employees could come to their senses, Yun Xu had already stood up and applauded vigorously, even shouting loudly: "Good!"
With his encouragement, the whole banquet hall immediately responded. For a moment, there was applause, as if Zhou Jiyun was some top star.
Zhou Jiyun just stood by the piano and bowed slightly towards the people below, showing his gentlemanly etiquette. Xie Jing's eyes were blurred for a moment. Looking at this scene, she suddenly thought of Zhou Jiyun's childhood.
When he was little, Zhou Jiyun, wearing a well-fitting suit, played the piano under the guidance of his mother...
While his thoughts were floating, Zhou Jiyun had already sat down on the piano stool, his slender fingers fell on the keys, and soon crisp and melodious notes flowed in the banquet hall.
A beam of light shone on Zhou Jiyun, making him, dressed in formal attire, look incredibly dignified and elegant as he sat on the piano stool. At that moment, the only people on the stage were Zhou Jiyun and the piano.
Xie Jing sat up straight, a rare bright smile between her eyebrows. She wasn't a natural artist, but after years of studying music, she had developed her own level of appreciation.
Of course she could hear the tenderness, infatuation and longing in the piano music.
Yun Xu and Yun Zhao didn't understand, but Zhu Li did. She couldn't help but sigh, "Your brother-in-law is so infatuated."
Yun Zhao glanced at her sideways and asked, "I'll find someone for you someday too?"
Zhu Li declined politely: "Pick up cotton?"
Yun Xu burst out laughing: "You are really funny. Alas, I am the most pitiful one. My brother-in-law abuses me on stage, and I have to look down on you two off stage."
Zhu Li said openly: "You will also meet your moon, no need to envy others."
Yun Xu: "For Jiyun, Jingjing is his bright moon?"
Zhu Li nodded: "It's obvious, don't interrupt, I'm listening to music, it sounds like I've practiced for a long time, it's really not easy."
Yun Zhao was also a little surprised: "I don't know when he started practicing."
Yun Xu: "Ask me, I know."
Zhu Li's curiosity immediately disappeared: "I'm not that curious. That's between Jingjing and him."
When Zhou Jiyun was performing, naturally some people's eyes fell on Xie Jing. In fact, there were indeed many people looking at Xie Jing. Someone like Zhou Jiyun, who had a background, ability, good looks and a good figure, was undoubtedly very attractive.
There are always people who dream of being Cinderella, but Zhou Jiyun is very cautious and doesn't give the opposite sex any chance to touch him.
Before, Xie Jing was the daughter of a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times, so naturally, people looked down on her. But later, no one expected that she actually came from a well-established family in the capital, and as a result, the envy and jealousy immediately subsided.
From the perspective of practical interests, Xie Jing's biggest shortcoming now - family background - has been made up. Unless Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing really have a breakdown in their relationship, their marriage should be unbreakable.
After all, from a secular perspective, power is always more fascinating than money, and it is also more mysterious. In ancient times, Zhou Jiyun was a merchant, and the Yun family were officials.
Marriage between officials and merchants has occurred in history, but most of the time, it was merchant women marrying into officials' families, and even this was considered marrying into a higher position.
In modern times, Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun's marriage, in the eyes of discerning people, is a complete marriage of inferior status. If she separated from Zhou Jiyun, she would be able to find a new marriage partner immediately based on her family background.
None of them is worse than Zhou Jiyun, of course this is from a practical and utilitarian perspective.
If Zhou Jiyun left Xie Jing, his career would definitely be severely damaged. So from a utilitarian point of view, how could Zhou Jiyun leave Xie Jing?
Of course, up to now, Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun have a good relationship. Even after Xie Jing returned to the family, there is no sign of divorce between them. Otherwise, Zhou Jiyun would not be playing this song so affectionately on the stage.
Those who wanted to get promoted could naturally see Zhou Jiyun's deep affection for Xie Jing, which made them feel even more bitter. How come Xie Jing always got all the good things in the world?
Originally an unloved daughter of a wealthy family, she unexpectedly married the most promising grandson of the Zhou family. It was just an arranged marriage, and he was also loyal to her.
Now, she's become a third-generation Red. Being a third-generation Red is fine, after all, she's been living on the sidelines for so many years. But how prestigious is she? Her two cousins ​​personally showed up to support her and stay by her side at all times, a declaration to the outside world.
Although Xie Jing didn't grow up in the family, the family undoubtedly valued her greatly. Seeing all these things, one can't help but sigh that life is indeed more exciting than fiction.
Zhou Jiyun's performance on stage also came to an end. After playing the last note, Zhou Jiyun stood up and took the microphone handed to him by the host: "It's been a long time since I played the piano. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me."
The host was also very good at reading people's expressions: "Of course, we don't have that kind of elegant bones, but as an outsider, I can hear the affection in Jay Chou's piano voice, and I'm sure Mrs. Zhou can hear it too."
When he was cueing Xie Jing, the cameraman also cut to the main table, which was facing Xie Jing. The main table was also projected onto the big screen on the stage, and everyone's expressions were very clear.
Xie Jing just looked at Zhou Jiyun and smiled. She believed that Zhou Jiyun understood what she meant, just as she could hear the emotions in Zhou Jiyun's piano playing.
Zhou Jiyun held the microphone and said, "This piano piece is my mother's favorite. She taught me to play it when I was a child, and my father sometimes followed her to learn."
"I remember my mother once told me that if I ever meet the love of my life, I must play this song for her."
When Zhou Jiyun mentioned his eldest daughter-in-law, Mr. Zhou inevitably thought of the past. The scene of his eldest daughter-in-law and eldest son sitting on the piano bench and playing the piano seemed to be still in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
The little boy who had once watched his parents playing the piano has now grown up and is expressing his affection to his wife. Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou closed his eyes. Time is indeed unforgiving.
Now he recalls more and more the time when his eldest son and daughter-in-law were still alive.
