The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 31

Chapter 31

In order to prevent Su Wan from getting into trouble again, Lan Yuan came to her parents’ courtyard to have dinner with everyone this morning.

Eat without talking and sleep without speaking, this is the Lan family’s consistent rule.

In the past, Lan Yuan thought this was not a big deal, but after getting used to talking and laughing with Shen Xian during meals, she became disgusted with this kind of solemnity at the dinner table.

Of course, Lan Yuan didn’t dare to show it in front of her parents. Today she even took the initiative to serve porridge and rice for her parents, and she said more nice things than usual.

“We, A Yuan, have also reached the age of marriage, and it’s time to consider life-long events!” Su Wan said, staring at Lan Yuan thoughtfully.

“My daughter-in-law is right, Xiao Yuan should think about it.” Mr. Lan wiped his mouth and held Su Wan’s words.

The rule of saying nothing while eating or sleeping is of no use to Su Wan. The Su family has a great business and Mr. Lan is good at calculating, so he gives in to his daughter-in-law.

Halfway through the bowl of porridge, Su Wan’s words completely made Lan Yuan lose her appetite.

“My mother knows some young talents with good family backgrounds. I can help introduce them.” Su Wan kept talking with a cunning light in her eyes.

When Mrs. Lan heard this, her ears perked up: “Thank you, Xiaowan, I’m still worried about this girl’s marriage!”

“You’re welcome, mother-in-law, our family should help each other.” Su Wan said with a smile.

“I’m done eating, let’s go to class first!” Lan Yuan said expressionlessly, stood up and left. She didn’t want to listen to these noisy voices.

“I happen to be full too. A Yuan and I will walk together to eat!” Su Wan put her arm on Lan Yuan’s arm.

After leaving the restaurant, Lan Yuan was too lazy to be kind and took out her hand.

Su Wan didn’t take it seriously, Lan Yuan always didn’t like contact with others.

“It’s said in the house that you and Shen Xian have a good relationship. We eat and live together.” Su Wan sneered and looked at Lan Yuan, there was something in her words.

“I just respect my teacher.” Lan Yuan looked directly at Su Wan.

“Really?” Su Wan smiled, with deep meaning hidden in her eyes.

“We have known each other for more than ten years. I know you better than your mother. You can’t lie to me.” Su Wan patted Lan Yuan’s shoulder and shook her index finger.

Su Wan knew that Lan Yuan was always cold and distant towards others, but she was different from Shen Xian and was able to eat and live together, which meant that there must be something going on.

Whether Lan Yuan’s partiality and support for Shen Xian is out of respect for her teacher or out of other emotions, Su Wan already has the answer.

“Chen Xian does have a good face. He not only seduced your eldest brother, but also seduced you.” Su Wan directly poked through the window paper.

When Lan Yuan heard this, she felt frightened. She was afraid that Shen Xian would be harmed, “I can’t understand what my sister-in-law said. Teacher Shen and I are innocent.”

“Innocent?” Su Wan thought it was ridiculous, Lan Yuan was still protecting that person, “You should have even tried grinding mirrors, after all, we slept together.”

Lan Yuan clenched her fists and her brows furrowed, hinting at her anger. If she could, she would like to hit someone directly now, but her reason told her that Su Wan could not be offended.

“Spill too much dirty water and it will backfire. Sister-in-law, be careful.” Lan Yuan was silent for a long time and only replied this sentence.

Su Wan didn’t believe in gods, Buddhas, or curses. She looked up to the sky and laughed. She never pretended to be in front of Lan Yuan: “I don’t care if you have this kind of thing. I just want to remind you that Shen Xian is just coveting the wealth of the Lan family.”

In Su Wan’s heart, Shen Xian was just a vixen, a seductress, and a poor man who tried to climb up a high tree and become a phoenix.

“She is not this kind of person. A sister-in-law has a villain’s heart and a gentleman’s heart.” In Lan Yuan’s heart, Shen Xian is upright and upright.

Su Wan feels that Lan Yuan is hopeless, what is there to care about that kind of person.

“Anyway, she will leave after the New Year. Shen Xian is now a grasshopper after autumn and can only jump around for a few days.” Su Wan is determined to do her best to drive away Shen Xian.

“You…” Lan Yuan was furious, and her face could not calm down.

“When the time comes, you will see her pleading face, and see that all her kindness to you is for money. When you see her true nature, you will wake up.” Su Wan is sure that Shen Xian is a vain person. When the time comes, she will definitely give Lan Yuan a pillow to beg her not to be driven away.

“Sister-in-law has to come back today. It’s a big day, so be careful with your mouth.” Throwing these words away, Lan Yuan walked away.

Su Wan looked at Lan Yuan’s background and felt indignant. She vowed to expose Chen Xian’s true face.

In the afternoon, Lan Yuan asked Jasmine to go to the post office to mail a letter. Shen Xiannian was very likely to leave after the new year, so she had to act quickly.

After half a month, I finally got a reply.

In the evening, Lan Yuan came to the front yard to visit, carrying a food box containing the bird’s nests that her mother loved to eat.

Mrs. Lan was leisurely eating bird’s nest, and Lan Yuan was making plans in her mind.

After her mother finished eating, Lan Yuan promptly handed her a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.

“Cousin Feng Jia invited me to Nanjing for a few days. Do you think I should go?” Lan Yuan said cautiously.

Mrs. Lan knew her daughter’s thoughts, but she still wanted to test whether her daughter was still as obedient as before. She always felt that her daughter had become more unpredictable in the past six months.

“If I tell you not to go, will you not go?” Mrs. Lan looked at Lan Yuan.

In the past, if her mother disagreed, Lan Yuan would have given up directly, but this time her request was just out of politeness, and she already had the answer.

“My daughter wants to go. My cousin and I haven’t seen each other for a long time and I miss her very much.” Lan Yuan avoided the question and expressed her attitude first.

People are in high spirits during happy events. Her son has just got married. Mrs. Lan is in a good mood: “Then you go, but don’t make friends with unscrupulous people when you go out.”

“Okay, thank you, mother.” Lan Yuan held her hands excitedly.

“By the way, when you go, take the ginseng I prepared for your uncle with you.” Mrs. Lan reminded.

“No problem.” Lan Yuan took the food box and left, feeling windy in her steps as she walked.

“By the way -” Mrs. Lan stopped Lan Yuan again, “Give Shen Xian a holiday and let her go home. Your sister-in-law doesn’t want to see her.”

Mrs. Lan’s words were exactly what Lan Yuan meant, and she immediately agreed: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Lan Yuan walked quickly back to the yard. It was cold in the late autumn, but she didn’t care.

Lan Yuan came to Chen Xian’s house and knocked on the door in the middle of the night. Lan Yuan couldn’t bear to tell Chen Xian such good news tomorrow. She wanted to tell Chen Xian immediately.

“Teacher Shen, it’s me.” Lan Yuan called out.

Chen Xian put down the book in his hand and immediately came over to open the door.

“Teacher Shen, does the promise you made before that we go out together still count?” Lan Yuan’s face was full of spring breeze, and her tone was full of joy.

Chen Xian had never seen Lan Yuan look so happy. He nodded seriously and said, “Of course it counts. Where do you want to go?”

“Let’s go to Nanjing.” Lan Yuan has already thought of her destination. She wants to see the place where Shen Xian lived.

Britain is too far away now and has no chance, but Nanjing can.

“Will your mother agree?” Shen Xian thought of the various restraints Mrs. Lan had on her daughter.

“She agreed.” Lan Yuan said excitedly.

“Shall we set off tomorrow?” Lan Yuan shook Shen Xian’s arm.

“Of course.” Shen Xian agreed immediately as he didn’t expect it to come so suddenly.

“Then you pack your things and go to bed early. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Lan Yuan waved her hand to say goodbye.

Early the next morning, Lan Yuan was waiting for Shen Xian in the yard with her suitcase.

Shen Xian originally thought that he got up very early, but he never thought that Lan Yuan would wake up earlier.

“Have you had breakfast?” Shen Xian spoke first.

Lan Yuan shook her head. She was so excited that she didn’t want to eat.

“Wait for me.” Shen Xian turned around and ran back into the house, taking out a bag of toast.

Shaking the toast bag, “Take this with you to eat on the way.” Shen Xian said.

“Okay, let’s go quickly.” Lan Yuan urged.

“Come on!” Shen Xian and Lan Yuan walked out of the door side by side, got in the car, and arrived at the train station.

“I’ll buy the tickets. You wait for me here.” Shen Xian told Lan Yuan. There were too many people buying tickets, and she didn’t want Lan Yuan to crowd into the crowd.

“No, I’ll go with you.” Lan Yuan took Chen Xian and went out together. We should bear the hardships together.

Moreover, these hardships and tiredness were once part of Shen Xian’s life, and Lan Yuan also wanted to experience it.

“Then hold me tight, don’t get lost.” Shen Xian took the initiative to hand the corner of his clothes to Lan Yuan.

“Okay!” Lan Yuan obediently held the corner of Shen Xian’s clothes and walked behind.

When there were two people in line, the conductor asked them which class of seats they bought——

Shen Xian didn’t want to suffer in Lan Yuan’s car and wanted a first-class ticket.

“Two second-class seats.” Lan Yuan spoke first, paid for the ticket, and took the ticket.

Lan Yuan used to sit in first class when going out, but now she just wants to experience Shen Xian’s life and Shen Xian’s world for herself.

The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of cigarette smoke and the mixed smell of various foods made Lan Yuan very uncomfortable. She took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.

After passing through the huge crowd, they finally found their seats.

Chen Xian kept Lan Yuan behind him and walked in front to clear the way for others. Knowing that Lan Yuan didn’t like to be in contact with others, he directly asked her to sit by the window while he sat in the middle to isolate her from the outside.

The three people opposite Chen Xian are all female students. On the right is Lan Yuan by the window, and on the left is the mother holding the infant child.

“The two sisters are so beautiful!” said a female student opposite.

Lan Yuan looked at them. They were dressed in simple and monotonous clothes. They looked innocent and had clear eyes.

“It’s okay, okay, you guys are so complimentary!” Shen Xian replied.

Lan Yuan ignored them. She didn’t know how to get along with outsiders.

Then, Shen Xian put the hat on Lan Yuan’s head. There were many people in the second-class carriage, and she was afraid that someone would covet Lan Yuan.

“Why are you putting a hat on me?” Lan Yuan’s big eyes were full of doubts.

“Because you are so good-looking, I’m afraid you will attract bad luck.” Shen Xian explained.

Lan Yuan smiled, half at Shen Xian for being childish, and half at Shen Xian for being confused. Standing together, Shen Xian was more beautiful, and it was obvious who was more attractive.

“Do you have an appetite to eat now?” Shen Xian saw that Lan Yuan occasionally covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Lan Yuan shook her head, “No appetite.”

“Have you eaten?” Shen Xian asked the students opposite and the nursing mother next to him.

The three students shook their heads. The mother next to them said they were not hungry.

Chen Xian directly took out four pieces of six pieces of toast and gave one to each of them.

“Eat some of it to cushion your stomach.” With the remaining two pieces, Shen Xian tied the bag to prevent them from hardening.

“I’ll get you some hot water.” Shen Xian said to Lan Yuan.

“Okay.” Lan Yuan nodded.

After Shen Xian stood up and left, Lan Yuan’s eyes followed Shen Xian, watching her pass through the crowded crowd again, and suddenly felt that it would be better to buy a first-class carriage, so that she would suffer less, and Shen Xian would suffer less.

“Is that your sister?” The passenger next to Lan Yuan took the initiative to chat, “Thank you for the food.”
