Wu Heng had carefully observed the entire journey from Feiyun Ferry.
Ye Lan never mentioned Xiao Yunting, as if the past had disappeared with the seven years of sleep.
The look of Xiao Yunting losing his memory when he woke up was still vivid in his mind, so Wu Heng had hoped for luck more than once. Even when he entered the imperial capital and saw evidence all over the city that Xiao Yunting was in love with another woman, Ye Lan remained indifferent and calm.
He thought Ye Lan really didn't love him anymore, or that she had also lost her memory.
So when Wu Heng checked into the hotel owned by the Xiao family, he didn't think much about it.
But now that he heard that she was going to attend Qu Yueqing's concert, Wu Heng was sure that she had not forgotten anything, and even came back this time just for Xiao Yunting.
Ye Lan was afraid that the concert would be boring, so she gave Wu Heng a day off so that he could go alone.
"I have nothing to do anyway, let's go together." Wu Heng came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head to show his interest.
So at seven o'clock in the evening, the Scott Concert Hall in the capital, a venue known as the Oriental Arena, was crowded with guests.
The Xiao family generously sponsored the installation of millions of new lights, making the once solemn building as bright as day. With free admission, both business celebrities and ordinary people were happy to patronize the venue. However, at the entrance, the two groups of people would separate. The upper class aristocrats would sit directly in the front row and enjoy VIP service, while ordinary people could only listen to the performance from the back.
Ye Lan and Wu Heng were stopped by staff before entering.
"Please use another passage. Thank you for your cooperation." The other party pointed to a smaller side door on the other side, where a long queue was waiting.
Wu Heng was dissatisfied with this discriminatory treatment and was about to pay for the ticket himself, but was stopped by Ye Lan.
"Let's get in line. Xiao's probably won't accept cash." She gestured to the boy to look at the words 'Free for All' next to it.
Wu Heng also knew that the Xiao family was wealthy and powerful. Moreover, Xiao Yunting had always been arbitrary and domineering. If he caused trouble here, he would only be expelled.
He didn't want to ruin Ye Lan's plan, so he could only follow behind the group of ordinary people.
After a while, a long queue formed behind the two of them.
The crowd was chattering and starting to gossip out of boredom.
"It's really lively. I came here before dinner and I didn't expect there would be so many people."
"What's that? Those paparazzi have been here since morning. Who in the entire capital doesn't want to dig up some gossip about the Xiao family's head and Qu Yueqing's love affair? Aren't you the same?"
"I'm mainly interested in listening to music. Hehe, so it's true that Chairman Xiao is going to propose after the concert tonight."
…
As a practitioner with keen five senses, Ye Lan could hear all the sounds from all directions clearly.
Wu Heng, who was standing next to him, had a gloomy face and couldn't help asking, "Do you need to call someone?"
Ye Lan looked back at him, her expression calm, "What are you doing?"
Wu Heng gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Break his legs."
Even if he didn't want the two of them to be together, it was not Xiao Yunting's turn to hurt Ye Lan's feelings.
Hearing this, Ye Lan was a little amused. He shook his head and said calmly, "No, I'll just go in and take a look."
Half an hour later, they entered the venue and sat in the third row from the back. Looking at the stage from a distance of more than 100 meters, no matter how good their eyesight was, they could only see a small black dot.
Ye Lan didn't mind and sat with a group of old men and women who came to join in the fun.
"Hey, little girl, are you here to listen to gossip too? If you're here to listen to music, we'd like to switch seats with you. On the contrary, we old men and women can't appreciate Western things." The old men and women in the front rows were even more enthusiastic to offer their seats.
However, these were seats earned through hard work, so Ye Lan did not accept them. He said indifferently, "I'm just here to join in the fun."
"Hey, that makes sense." The old men and women immediately perked up when they heard it. They even took out some melon seeds to share with her and took the initiative to talk about this passionate love affair that was sweeping the city.
The old men and women even formed a debate team, each with their own opinion on this relationship.
"I've never seen the chairman of the Xiao Corporation dating before, but now that the old iron tree has blossomed, it must be true love."
"I think the man wants to start a family when he's old enough, so he picked a wife who's of equal social status."
"Mr. Xiao is not like you stinky men. He is very self-disciplined and wholeheartedly treats Miss Qu well. This is called following the trend and being in love."
"That must be because Miss Qu is beautiful."
"Speaking of beautiful women, the girl sitting here is also very pretty. Why doesn't Mr. Xiao like her?"
As the two sides were arguing, Ye Lan became the target of criticism.
When it comes to appearance, Ye Lan is truly impeccable. Even when she was queuing outside without makeup, she attracted a lot of media attention. Several scouts from talent agencies came to ask her if she was interested in debuting as a star.
The old men and women were being careless with their words, but Ye Lan didn't care and lowered his head to check the repertoire of the concert.
Qu Yueqing graduated from a foreign art school, majoring in Western musical instruments. Because she comes from a scholarly family, she has been proficient in traditional instruments since childhood. This performance will have a total of ten songs, and there will be ten different instruments, which will be a complete show of skills.
Ye Lan looked at the sponsorship fee, which was 80 million.
Well, quite rich.
About fifteen minutes later, the stage lights dimmed, and the moment the melodious piano music sounded, a spotlight shone in the center of the stage, landing on a graceful figure.
The young girl sat in front of a valuable piano, her long hair tied up to reveal half of her gentle and distant profile. Her swan neck was white and slender, and it looked even more outstanding against the backdrop of the silver suspenders.
The silver halter dress reached the ground and was embellished with sparkling diamonds.
This custom-made dress, which cost over 10 million yuan, sets off her snow-white skin, making her look as unreal as a princess in a fairy tale.
