Chapter 170
14.13
Various styles of invitations were spread out on the table. Zhou Yunsheng and Xue Yanzheng carefully selected them. There was a laptop on the sofa, and a piano piece was playing. Disgusting. After listening to it for two minutes, Xue Laosi couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted, "Xiaoyi, can you turn off this piece, it's too ugly! You are such an elegant person, and your performance level is the best in the world. How can you like to listen to it in private? Crazy music? Who played it, and posted it on the Internet, not afraid of being drowned by spittle stars."
As he spoke, he handed the owner the information of several flower shops. Yesterday, was joking about bringing them the style of invitations. never thought that before 8:00 in the morning, the boss would call and ask why didn't bring the invitations. These two people deserve to be a couple. They say that the wind is the rain and their personalities are exactly the same.
"Just listen, there are so many words!" Zhou Yun Sheng gave him a grinning look, and handed an ancient-style invitation to Xue Yan, "How about this?"
"Okay." Xue Yan spread the promotional materials of a flower shop on the table and smiled, "Only use roses of various colors at the wedding site, not roses."
"Okay, I like Chinese roses." Zhou Yun Sheng made a final decision. They didn't plan to make a big deal, just invite Xue Yan's close friends and clansmen over for a meal, and then write down the genealogy. China does not recognize same-sex marriages, but the Xue clan admits that in ancient times there was a record of a patriarch marrying a male wife. Although it took a lot of twists and turns, he finally got what he wanted. This shows that the Xue clan is very tolerant. powerful.
"Hey, what the fuck, I said which Daxian'er is playing the ghost, it turns out to be your sister Xue Jingyi. You two are really born from the same mother? Why is she playing the piano so badly? Go to her after listening to your performance, I just want to die!" Xue Lao Si couldn't stand the noise pollution, he ran to the sofa to turn off the computer, glanced at the screen, and his eyes almost popped out.
"In the past, Xue Er held a birthday party at the Splendid Banyan Garden and asked his son and daughter to perform the piano. At that time, I thought that the little girl was very talented and played very well. Why does she seem to be disabled now?" Xue Laosi reluctantly listened. After a while, he asked, "Is this "My Empire"?"
"Well, did you hear it?" Zhou Yun Sheng turned on the surveillance camera he had set up at Xue's house early in the morning to check on Xue Jingyi's situation.
"To be honest, I didn't hear it at all. I didn't know it until I saw the words on the score." Xue Laosi found that Xue Jingyi's expression was terribly distorted, and couldn't help shaking his head, "If you can't play it, stop playing it, this is not You're asking for your own guilt." Thanks to Zhou Yunsheng, he now has a certain appreciation for classical music, knows what a masterpiece "My Empire" is, and also knows what level Xue Jingyi's playing is at. . To put it poorly, it is only better than a beginner.
"She has to play. I have left the Xue family. She has to perform at the Ten Nations Summit instead of me."
"Pfft, to perform for the leaders at this level? Is Xue Er's brain alright? He is tired and crooked." Xue Laosi laughed out loud.
"I hope she will go, but Xue Li Danni and Xue Zixuan are not easy to fool, they will definitely stop it." Zhou Yun Sheng shook his head slightly regretfully. He didn't intend to use the performance to harass Xue Jingyi. Xue Jingyi was crazy, but the Xue family was not crazy and would never let her make such an international joke.
Xue Yan smiled and said, "Then wait for the second brother of Xue to come and beg you. When he comes, I will tell him the good news that we are going to get married."
"Remember, I'm a pure white lotus flower, which comes out of the mud and is not stained. I don't know anything." Zhou Yun Sheng wrapped his arms around his neck, biting his lover's lips while explaining, his eyes flashing with a sly light.
"Okay, you don't know anything. You are a little daisy blooming in the warm room, a little chick hiding in my wings. As long as you accept my protection obediently, you don't need to know the cruelty of the world." Xue Yan stretched out His tongue pried open between his teeth, murmuring indistinctly.
Unexpectedly, the always grumpy boss would say such kind of love words that are not worth their lives. Xue Laosi said that he really couldn't stand it. Also, what little daisy, little chick, are you really describing Huang Yi? He is obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing, okay, didn't he see Xue Rui's family being played around by him?
Three days later, the Xue family.
Xue Rui called his son to the piano room and said, "Your sister has been practicing for the past few days. She did not play very smoothly at first, but now it is much better. You can help her find out what is wrong and correct her as soon as possible. Diplomacy The ministry told me to take her to the rehearsal tomorrow."
Xue Zixuan kept himself locked in his room, he lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and his face was even more haggard. His voice was hoarse, "Dad, when will you bring Xiaoyi back?"
"Where can he run to? Xue Yan's temper is ruthless and ruthless. It's a coincidence to give him a good face a few times. After a few days, he will get tired of throwing him out. I'll go and let him know what's going on. I feed him and clothe him, and he still has the face to offer me conditions, a wild bastard with light bones."
Xue Zixuan was very dissatisfied with his father's vicious words, and sneered, "What are you feeding him for? To dig out his heart! How does he know what's wrong? Take the initiative to lie on the operating table and let you all open up?"
"Why, you can't bear it?" Xue Rui stared at his son suspiciously.
"Yes, I can't bear it." Xue Zixuan looked back calmly.
"We are here to save your sister!"
"Then find another heart. If you dare to touch him, I will report you to the police station."
Xue Rui was so angry that he was about to have a seizure, but Xue Zixuan calmly pushed open the door and walked towards Xue Jingyi in front of the piano. Xue Jingyi is a very persevering person. She will go forward bravely if she recognizes one thing, otherwise she will not have a heart attack in her previous life and still insist on performing on stage. In the past three days, she practiced day and night, and finally she was able to finish "My Empire" smoothly. What she thought she could never do, in fact, she could climb to a new level by forcing herself a little bit, which made her depressed. For a long time, she was very pleasantly surprised.
"Brother, listen to my performance." She raised her head and smiled.
Xue Zixuan glanced at her indifferently, walked to the window and opened all the curtains.
Xue Rui put away his angry expression in time, and forcefully twitched the corners of his mouth, "Jingyi, play it well for your brother. Hurry up and practice a few more times today, and tomorrow Dad will accompany you to the rehearsal in the Congress Hall."
"Okay." Xue Jingyi nodded. During this time, she had been living in Zhou Yunsheng's shadow, watching him play during the day, and dreaming at night that she would become him wearing a tuxedo on stage, she almost became Zhou Yunsheng's shadow, fantasizing about being able to possess the talent and glory of her body, plus I kept looking at some reports about the big change in personality after the heart transplant, and gradually lost my mind and formed a very paranoid mentality. In front of Zhou Yunsheng, she would show a shadow-like vulnerability and inferiority, and when Zhou Yunsheng was away, she would think she could replace him.
She had already stepped into the trap that Zhou Yun Sheng had laid out for her early in the morning, becoming more and more crazy and paranoid, which made her unable to judge herself and others correctly. She lives in an illusion, but believes that the illusion is the real. In the past, she would never be too hot-headed to think that she could play "My Empire" perfectly and perform on behalf of China in front of so many leaders.
Xue Zixuan put his hands in his pockets and stared at the confident father and daughter with mocking eyes. They are crazy.
Xue Li Danni turned off her job and hurried back because her colleague told her that Xue Rui had accepted the invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and would take Xue Jingyi to the rehearsal tomorrow. Xue Jingyi is going to play "My Empire" in front of the heads of various countries? What a joke! She nearly fainted.
When she got home, Xue Jingyi had already played the third measure. She stared at the score with a very serious expression. This time, she did not press a single wrong note, and the melody was very coherent. Xue Rui shook his head and was intoxicated. In his opinion, as long as it is a coherent piano piece, it is good enough to be on the international stage.
But the mood of Xue Zixuan and Xue Li Danni can only be described by the word "ridiculous".
Not being able to endure until the end of the song, Xue Zixuan walked over and pressed down the lid of the piano. Xue Jingyi's hands were almost crushed, and she let out a mournful howl, her eyes filled with tears instantly, and looked at him with an expression of disbelief and fear. Xue Rui and Xue Li Danni recovered from their shock, and hurried over to pull him away, asking, "Why are you hurting your sister like this? Crazy?"
"I'm crazy? It's you who are crazy! You want to perform in the Congress Hall at this level, do you think everyone else is deaf?" He slowly took off his gloves and said coldly, "Get out of the way, I'll give it to you. You play it again."
Xue Jingyi was so frightened that her heart was throbbing, and she quickly retracted into Xue Li Danni's arms while covering her red and swollen fingertips, her eyes blinked, and many tears fell. Xue Li Danni originally wanted to blame her for being whimsical, but when she saw her pitiful appearance, her heart softened.
Xue Rui was angry with his son twice, and he was already impatient, but the performance was a big deal, and he couldn't be sloppy. Since his son said no, it was okay for him to stay and listen, even if he thought his daughter's performance was perfect.
Xue Zixuan took a deep breath and pressed the keys hard. He tried his best to return his mind to the war-torn era, and tried to understand the feelings of the Chinese people in crisis who rose up to resist and defend their homeland, but he still failed. This is the only piece he can't perform, and even though he's been practicing for five years, he still doesn't dare to play it in public.
But his level is there, no matter what, he is countless levels higher than Xue Jingyi. His piano sound is very firm, and it contains an unyielding power. Even people who have no discernment can easily distinguish the difference between him and Xue Jingyi. His piano sound is like a stone, which can be used to tap people's hearts, but Xue Jingyi's piano sound is like soft candy, more than sweet, but not firm enough. But "My Empire" is not a romantic and sweet waltz, but a tragic roar and cry.
In this way, Xue Jingyi's previous performance seemed like a joke.
Feeling her husband's ignorance, Xue Li Danni searched for the information of "My Empire" on her mobile phone, handed it to him, and silently shook her head and sighed. She also told her husband in a euphemistic way that her daughter was no good.
Xue Rui's disapproving expression gradually became solemn, and when his son finished playing, his temples began to throb in pain. It turns out that playing the piano is not just about fluency.
Xue Zixuan was silent for a moment, placed the phone on the music stand, and said lightly, "Do you hear the difference between me and Xue Jingyi? Now I'll let you hear how Xiaoyi and the original author of this piece played. It doesn't matter if you don't understand music, as long as you are not deaf, you should be able to hear the pros and cons."
He raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, and then clicked the play button. This is a short clip edited by a netizen in the Levin Empire. He edited the video of Ivanov playing in the trenches with the video of Zhou Yunsheng playing in the finals. The two played two bars each, with one, three, and two and four interlaced, but there was no sense of incongruity when they were combined. . The fierce and heroic sound of the piano shook the crystal lamps above his head. If Xue Zixuan's performance was like a stone, the performance of these two people was a symphony of blood and fire, steel and lava, life and death. The powerful force can pierce the eardrum, shake the soul, and ignite the blood.
Before that, Xue Rui had never seen Zhou Yunsheng's performance. He didn't know that he was in this state sitting in front of the piano, as if he was indestructible, as if he could do anything. He walked to the sofa and sat down, his expression slowly becoming distorted and hideous.
It turned out that this was the reason why the head of the Levin Empire indicated that Zhou Yun Sheng would perform, and he finally knew. Fortunately, his son stopped him, otherwise his daughter would risklessly lose the rehearsal in the Congress Hall. What face does he have in the imperial capital? Even someone like him who knows nothing about music can hear three, no, strictly speaking, the difference between four kinds of piano tones, let alone others.
Xue Jingyi hid in Xue Li Danni's arms, covering her cheeks with her swollen hands, daring to look at her father's expression. As soon as the video was played, it was like a slap in the face, which woke her up from her self-expansion. Now she can't wait to dig a hole and get in. Why did you have to replace Huang Yi before? Simply obsessed!
"Jingyi, didn't you say that you can do it? If I take you to the Congress Hall tomorrow, I will become a joke in the entire imperial capital! Do you still have any brains, ah? Can you agree to this kind of thing? "Xue Rui questioned in exasperation.
"She's been sick all the time, where did you get the time to practice the piano. What are you doing so loudly? Isn't it your bad idea to let her perform in place of Huang Yi? Why is it all her fault now? Solve the trouble you caused yourself!" Xue Li Danni protected her shivering daughter behind her.
Xue Rui's eyes were about to bulge out, and he pointed at the mother and daughter who were in anger and couldn't speak for a long time.
Xue Zixuan closed the lid of the piano and said coldly, "Xue Jingyi, I will interrupt your hand if I touch the piano again."
"What did you say? You dare to threaten your sister like this! If you can't play well now, it doesn't mean she won't play well in the future. You treat everyone like you and Huang Yi, and you can play the piano from birth?" Xue Li Danni started to teach her lessons after dealing with her husband son.
"She will never be able to play well. Her obsession with music is gone, only her dirty selfish desires are left. If you heard her playing the piano just now, you should be very clear about her current state. She was a little spiritual before. Right now, there is only hostility left." Xue Zixuan spoke slowly.
The blood on Xue Jingyi's face faded in an instant, and she hugged Xue Li Danni's waist tightly to prevent herself from fainting. Xue Li Danni opened her mouth, but she couldn't find any reason to refute. She is also a musician and can hear a piece of playing well or badly. It doesn't matter if you don't have skilled skills, but you can't be without dedication and love for music. Without these two things, the melody played will lack soul and will never be able to move people's hearts. If the daughter can't adjust back to her original state of mind, she will not achieve anything in this life.
But can she adjust back? There is a Huang Yi for comparison, it is difficult for her to reach the sky. She seems to be accustomed to enjoying the benefits and honors that Huang Yi has brought her. Xue Li Danni put her arms around her daughter, feeling very regretful. After the preliminaries, Huang Yi was brought back, and now the Xue family will not be involved in such a thing.
Xue Rui walked around two irritably, pointed at his son and said, "Zixuan, can you perform in place of Jingyi?"
"You think the person named above can be replaced by opening your mouth? Who are you? The president?" Xue Zixuan was fed up with such a family, so he took his mobile phone and left.
Xue Rui stood frozen for a while, and had to pick up the phone to negotiate with the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Replace? No, we can't. We only need Miss Xue, and don't consider others. No, neither can Mr. Xue, we just want the best."
"Is it serious? If it is not serious, you can rehearse for a while and then rehearse. The summit will be held in two months, and there is still time. We plan to use 3D technology to reproduce Mr. Ivanov during the Great Patriotic War. Ms. Xue will compete with the music master at that time. The leader likes the idea of ββgoing back in time and has designated this show as the finale of the party. If Ms. Xue cannot be on the stage, it will be difficult for us to do it, so please Be sure to attend. If necessary, we can take care of Miss Xue's body conditioning, please rest assured that we have the best medical technology."
"No, no, don't bother, Jingyi is an old problem, it's not serious, just rest for a few days. I'm worried that her physical condition is unstable and there will be an accident on stage."
"We will naturally take care of her health when she comes. The rehearsal room has medical staff on duty 24 hours a day, so you don't have to worry. Miss Xue's performance in Vienna is very good, and she can perfectly interpret "My Empire". , must have a will of steel like Mr. Ivanov, and we have great confidence in her."
The more the staff praised Zhou Yunsheng, the more Xue Rui broke into a cold sweat. He realized that he had no room for rejection, so he hung up the phone with a dry smile.
"No wonder you want Huang Yi to play for you. It turns out that you have no ability. If you have no ability, go back to your room and don't come out to make trouble. If I was really fooled by you, I would lose my face abroad." Turning to face his wife and daughter , he scolds wickedly.
Xue Jingyi put her face on Xue Li Danni's back and wept silently, her father had never spoken to her in such a disgusting tone.
Xue Li Danni glared at her husband, but she also knew that her daughter was in the wrong, and hurriedly hugged her and left.
"Mom, when can I have surgery?" Xue Jingyi asked Xue Li Danni in a low voice after walking far. If Huang Yi's heart is transplanted, what difficult piano music will she not be able to play? This morbid obsession had taken over all her mind.
"Not now." Xue Li Danni's eyes darkened and she pondered, "At least another two months." Now her husband will definitely go to Huang Yi in a hurry, and wait until the end of the Ten Nations Summit before the Xue family can move him, otherwise who will Performing on stage?
Seeing her daughter's disappointed look, she quickly comforted her, "Tomorrow, mom will take you for a medical examination. It's not bad for you to take good care of your body in the past two months. You don't have to worry about other things."
Xue Jingyi nodded, barely suppressing her anxiety.
As soon as Xue Rui changed into his suit, he saw his son standing at the door, "Go pick up Xiaoyi?" He raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm and determination.
"Yeah." Xue Rui's face was ashen. Now there is no other way but to coax Huang Yi back.
"I'll go with you." Xue Zixuan put on snow-white gloves and went downstairs first.
The father and son visited Xue's house overnight and were led to the living room by the servants to wait.
As soon as Xue Yan heard the knock on the door and sat up, he was tightly entangled by the naked boy, and muttered in a daze, "Where are you going?"
"Xue Rui is here, I'll go down and see you, you continue to sleep, I'll be right back."
"Give you ten minutes." Zhou Yun Sheng opened one eye and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
"Okay, I'll be back in ten minutes." Xue Yan set the alarm clock with a low smile, and then kissed the boy's round and lovely shoulder. The boy couldn't leave him for a moment, especially at night. Xue Yan remembered one time when he got up in the middle of the night to drink water and stayed in the kitchen for a few more minutes. The teenager ran out to look for it with nothing on. The panicked expression, the eyes full of despair, and the two lines of tears running down his cheeks. , Looking back now, it still makes Xue Yan heartache. He cross-examined him for a long time before realizing that it was because of a nightmare, and suddenly he was dumbfounded.
"Why are you so clingy?" Xue Yan complained, actually wishing that the boy would stick to himself for 24 hours.
Zhou Yun Sheng snorted dissatisfiedly, struggling to sit up as if remembering something, rubbing his eyes and saying, "I'll carry you out of bed."
"I can do it myself, you can continue to sleep. When I didn't meet you before, I did all the things like bathing, changing clothes, and getting in and out of bed. Don't make me a waste." Xue Yan smiled helplessly, using The strong arms prop up the body, slowly move to the wheelchair placed by the bed, then put on the nightgown and fasten the belt.
"Yan Ye (uncle)." Xue Rui and Xue Zixuan both stood up.
"Sit down, come to see me so late?" Xue Yan motioned to the servant to light a cigar for him.
"We're here to pick up Xiaoyi." Xue Zixuan said straight to the point.
"What are you doing to take him back? Dig out a heart for Xue Jingyi?" Xue Yan took a cigar, and the dark red fire burned violently, which made his face even more terrifying.
Xue Rui suddenly sweated like rain, Xue Zixuan clenched his fists and said calmly, "Does Xiaoyi know about this?"
"I won't pollute his ears with this kind of thing. You'd better stop as soon as possible, or I'll dig out the hearts of your family. You must know what kind of person I am, Xue Yan."
Xue Rui nodded again and again, knowing too well how ruthless Xue Yan was. He should have thought that the entire Xue clan had no secrets to Xue Yan. What he wanted to know, the most detailed information would be delivered to him within an hour. Even if Xue Zixuan hated Xue Yan again, he had to thank him for maintaining Xiaoyi's behavior. He looked up at him, then froze.
Xue Yan was only wearing a silk nightgown, and the front of the shirt was wide open, revealing his strong chest muscles. An ambiguous red mark spread from the chest muscles up to the neck. There were even clear tooth marks. How passionate people are.
However, there was no woman or man beside Xue Yan, only Xiaoyi.
Xue Zixuan seemed to have fallen into a hole in the ice, feeling extremely cold in body and mind, and even more desperate and confused. He slowly looked away and saw a stack of invitations scattered on the table. The top one was written in the words of dragons and phoenixes: Presented to Mr. Xue Zhaohan, on October 1, 2013 in the Gregorian calendar, on (Monday) On August 16, 2013 in the lunar calendar, a wedding ceremony was held for Mr. Xue Yan and Mr. Huang Yi, and a happy feast was prepared. Welcome, Xue Yan invited. Location: Xue Residence in Longquan Mountain.
To hold a wedding for Mr. Xue Yan and Mr. Huang Yi? Are they going to get married? two men! ?
Following his son's horrified eyes, Xue Rui also saw the invitation and almost jumped up from the sofa.
