The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Mr. Lan panicked instantly, his face twitched and spasmed, and he kept shouting for mercy——

He originally thought that Shen Xian was an ordinary piano player, but he never thought that this person actually had a strong background, a British family background, and had a close relationship with the Jinling Xu family. Now the entire Lan family would suffer.

“Ms. Xu, have mercy on me, have mercy on me, this villain is too blind to see Mount Tai.”

Xu Ziyu sneered. Now she wanted to cut this man into pieces, let alone spare his life!

However, Xu Ziyu also knew that the Lan family was one of the famous families in Yangzhou. Although it was not as good as the Xu family, it was still famous far and wide.

She can kill people and seek revenge, but her family doesn’t allow her to be so presumptuous!

If Mr. Lan is dealt with on the spot today, her family will definitely suffer, and both her father and brother will be blamed!

She is first the daughter of the Xu family and the daughter-in-law of the Du family, and secondly Shen Xian’s “sister”!

“If Chen Xian is okay, your family still has a chance to survive. If something happens to her, be prepared to be buried with her.”

After leaving these harsh words, Xu Ziyu stood up and left the place.

After leaving Lan’s house, Xu Ziyu asked the driver to drive to the hospital to see Shen Xian!

The morning glow slowly rises in the east, and the night has passed——

Looking at the sunny weather and the golden light on the ground, Xu Ziyu’s anger decreased a bit, and her eyebrows became gentle.

As the car continued to drive forward, she remembered the day she first met Shen Xian——

Going back to a year and a half ago, Qian Pei always loved to share beautiful cheongsams with Xu Ziyu. During that time, she always praised the clothes made by Hunter Cheongsam Shop for being very good.

Xu Ziyu had nothing to do, and out of curiosity, he wanted to see the master’s craftsmanship.

How ingenious it must be to be blown up to the sky by Mrs. Zhao!

According to the address given by Qian Pei, Xu Ziyu arrived at the place and felt that the store looked ordinary.

Pushing open the store door, he heard the sound of wind chimes, which was crisp and moving. After taking a look at the swaying posture of the wind chimes, Xu Ziyu suddenly felt that there might be something special in this store!

After a lot of shopping, Xu Ziyu found that there was only one girl in the store. She was quite thin and sitting at the front desk, playing with a pen, bored——

The girl has shoulder-length short hair, casually tied into a small braid, with broken hair scattered on her forehead. She wears white short-sleeves and looks independent from the world.

“Hello, I’m looking for Master Hunter to make a cheongsam.”

The goddess leisurely came out from behind the counter and greeted the customers, “Hello, the boss has gone out of town to place an order and will be back tomorrow.”

Only then could Xu Ziyu see the girl’s whole body. Her short sleeves were tied into jeans, which made her figure look good. Her waist was very thin. She was wearing cloth shoes. She was simple, natural, clean and refreshing.

Although the boss is not here, Xu Ziyu can see that the fabrics in the store are quite fashionable and novel, which at least shows that the owner has good taste. Looking at the sample clothes in the window, he should be good at craftsmanship.

“I like this piece of cloth.” She said, pointing to a piece of dark green cloth.

“This is the last piece of cloth left. Do you want to make it? I can reserve it for you. The style will be discussed with you when the boss comes back.” Shen pulled the cloth over and let her take a closer look.

“Can’t we restock it?” Xu Ziyu wondered how he couldn’t buy an ordinary piece of cloth.

“Because I dyed it myself, just this one piece.” Shen Xian explained.

“Can you dye cloth?” Xu Ziyu became curious.

“Actually, it’s the boss – my uncle. He knows how to do it. I helped him and learned a little bit.” Shen Xian was modest.

She had nothing to do when she came back from England, so she learned to dye fabrics in the back room every day.

“Then you have a good talent.” Xu Ziyu suddenly wanted to stay in this store for a while. It was rare to meet someone who looked good.

“Would you like tea? There are coffee, black tea, and water. What do you like?” Shen Xian greeted the guests.

“Is the coffee freshly made?” Xu Ziyu asked as he sat down.

Chen Xian maintained his usual patience with customers, “I can cook it for you freshly.”

“Then I’ll drink coffee.” Xu Ziyu smiled back. She thought this girl was very interesting.

“Don’t cook it too sour, I don’t like it.” Xu Ziyu gave an extra blessing.

“It’s hard to guarantee, I’ll try my best.” Shen Xian said helplessly, “My skills are average.”

It was the first time he saw someone so honest. Xu Ziyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She was even more curious about what kind of coffee this person could make. “You go ahead and do it.”

If it doesn’t taste good, don’t drink it!

Shen Xian ran upstairs and made fresh coffee for Xu Ziyu.

Xu Ziyu sat downstairs and waited slowly, not feeling bored. She looked around the room. There were a Leica camera and a piano model on the corner of the table, as well as a string of wind chimes near the door.

She somehow felt that these were things that belonged to this girl.

“Do you want some milk and sugar?” Shen Xian asked as he stuck his head upstairs.

“No milk, no sugar.” Xu Ziyu only likes the strong bitterness of coffee because it is pure.

Shen Xian brought the coffee downstairs and placed it in front of Xu Ziyu.

“The craftsmanship is okay.” Xu Ziyu took a sip. In fact, the coffee tasted quite sour, but she didn’t want to offend anyone. She somehow softened towards this unknown girl.

It was the hottest day in August. Seeing Xu Ziyu sweating slightly on her forehead, Shen Xian picked up the paper fan on the table and blew her some air.

Xu Zi noticed this thoughtfulness and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Chen Xian.”

“Which string?”

“The strings of the lyre.”

Chen Xian likes pianos, and even more so the strings made of wool in the piano. They are the most primitive and pure things, without impurities or stained by dust.

“It’s also a string that reminds me of my good years.” Xu Ziyu added.

“Is it a line from an ancient poem?” Shen Xian seemed to have heard his father read this poem.

“Li Shangyin’s poem, your name contains affection.” Xu Ziyu said with a smile, a smile that was beautiful and natural.

Normally she is a red rose, but today she showed tenderness.

Chen Xian silently repeated this poem again in his heart, and developed a good impression of the sister in front of him. This person looked particularly warm.

“Your coffee is very good. I’ll make clothes again in a few days. Goodbye.” Xu Ziyu walked out of the door.

After getting in the car, Xu Ziyu recited the name three times in her mind. The ups and downs of the syllables inexplicably made her mood excited.

When she returned home, she still thought about Shen Xian. She felt that what Qian Pei recommended was not only a good place to make clothes, but also a good place to hide in peace.

That Shen Xian, she had no desire for her in her heart, no flattery or flattery, she had instinctive respect and politeness, her eyes were innocent, and she was very attractive. Xu Ziyu liked her very much.

A few days later, Xu Ziyu came to the store again, but she just made clothes in order to meet people. She was well-connected, so she was obviously driven by the former.

After getting out of the car, a figure suddenly flew past him, walking quickly, and another figure flew past him.

Xu Ziyu took a closer look and realized that Shen Xian was being chased and beaten with a feather duster by a middle-aged man. But seeing that the man’s life was not in danger, he quietly watched the fire from the other side.

Shen Xian actually had such a lively and active side. Xu Ziyu smiled inadvertently. She thought Shen Xian was a quiet and steady person.

“Why did someone hit Miss Shen?” she asked the flower girl opposite the tailor shop.

“We are all used to it. Shen Xian occasionally fails to settle accounts and makes Uncle Hunter lose a lot of money. Uncle will pretend to be angry. In fact, they have a good relationship.” The flower girl explained.

so it is!The corners of Xu Ziyu’s mouth raised again inadvertently. Shen Xian was not good at math, but she looked very smart.

Just silently happy like this, Xu Ziyu returned to the car and sat down, waiting for ten minutes before the two of them came back.

For the first time, she took the initiative to wait for someone else!

“Aren’t you afraid of being stolen in such a big store if you don’t keep an eye on it?” Xu Ziyu got out of the car again to talk to Chen Xian.

She thought they were both silly and cute, and it was not a peaceful time. No one in the store was easily stolen, and the loss would be even greater.

Seeing that there was sweat on Shen Xian’s forehead, Xu Ziyu took the initiative to pass her handkerchief to her, “Wipe the sweat.”

Shen Xian remembered Xu Ziyu’s face, “Uncle, this is the beautiful sister who came to you to make clothes last time, but at that time you went to other places to purchase goods.”

“Hello.” Hunter regained his composure and said hello to Xu Ziyu.

The three of them entered the store together, and Xu Ziyu discovered that the record player in the store was playing piano music.

“My uncle made the freshly brewed coffee. It’s not sour this time.” Shen Xian went upstairs and gave it to her that Hunter had just brewed for himself.

After sending Xu Ziyu away last time, Shen Xian tasted the coffee he made and it was very sour. He felt very sorry for Xu Ziyu!

Xu Ziyu noticed this time that Shen Xian’s hands were very beautiful, long and thin, with well-defined joints. Moreover, they looked even younger when wearing overalls. He looked at least seventeen or eighteen years old.

“It’s a pity that you can’t play the piano with your hands!” Xu Ziyu felt that dyeing cloth with Chen Xian’s hands was a waste.

“She just learned to play the piano, studied in the UK, and recently came to my place to relax.” Hunter interjected.

“Can you play the piano for me someday? I have a piano at home, and it’s almost gathering dust.” She looked at Shen Xian, her red lips were so pretty, and she wanted to get closer to Shen Xian for no reason.

Chen Xian is not particularly interested in the piano now, but he doesn’t refuse, “The store has been busy recently, so I will definitely play it for you if I get the chance.”

“Okay!” Xu Ziyu laughed. She believed that Chen Xian’s piano must sound good.

Then Hunter and Xu Ziyu communicated about the style of cheongsam and discussed some details.

Half a month later, Xu Ziyu came to pick up the cheongsam and saw Shen Xian again. She was sitting at the door, eating butterfly cakes, holding an iron box with snacks, looking carefree.

“How old are you?”

The sun was very bright. Xu Ziyu got out of the car, covered Shen Xian’s head with an umbrella, and stepped forward to talk.

“Twenty.” Shen Xian looked up at Xu Ziyu and answered seriously.

“Enjoy life while you are young. Don’t imitate me. You will already be married when you are twenty.” Xu Ziyu’s words were full of regret for the loss of youth.

“Is my sister already married?” Shen Xian asked.

“I’m twenty-seven, and I’ve been married for seven years.” Xu Ziyu sat next to Shen Xian.

“Sister looks to be at least twenty years old, and she is well-maintained!” Shen Xian told the truth, Xu Ziyu is the most beautiful person she has ever seen, exquisite and fashionable.

Xu Ziyu smiled. She also felt that she had taken good care of herself, “Thank you for your sweetness.”

“Is sister happy?” Shen Xian saw that Xu Ziyu was alone every time and could not see her husband by her side.

Xu Ziyu shook his head, “I don’t know what happiness is!”

“Happiness means not feeling empty in your heart and being able to sleep until dawn!” Shen Xian said with a forced smile.

“According to you, then I shouldn’t be very happy.” Xu Ziyu pretended to be happy, and his smile was full of irony about the past, just like a person crying and saying that he was very happy.

“Here’s a piece for you. Sweets can make you feel better. I’m not happy either, so I eat this!” Shen Xian gave the snack box to Xu Ziyu and asked her to eat whichever piece she wanted.

“However, this method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, but why does it need to be cured? Even if it only lasts for a second, it can be considered a good experience.” Shen Xian added.

Xu Ziyu noticed the sadness in Shen Xian’s eyes, took a bite of butterfly cake, and continued to ask: “Why are you unhappy?”

“Because my father killed someone.” It was easier to speak to strangers, and Shen Xian revealed the secret in his heart.

Xu Ziyu didn’t know how to comfort him for a while.She regretted asking this question!

“Colorful clouds are easy to disperse and glass is broken. I have to look forward to the future. I am trying to come out slowly. After the darkest time, there must be light. The most important thing is to cherish the beauty in front of me.” Shen Xian was afraid of scaring this sister, so he quickly comforted her and comforted himself at the same time.

Xu Ziyu felt warm inexplicably when she saw Shen Xian pretending to be strong to comfort herself even though he was obviously weaker than her, as if two broken people were hugging each other, exchanging wounds and healing each other.

Shen Xian also saw the bottomless desolation in Xu Ziyu’s eyes, as if they had found the same kind. On the summer afternoon, their hearts were inexplicably close to each other.
