The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 70

Chapter 70

After Shen Xian came out, Lan Yuan noticed that the years had not left any trace on Shen Xian’s face——

Her face was still as bright and attractive as before, and her lines became more obvious after she lost weight. She was wearing a black trench coat, underneath was the white dress she had just played in, and she was wearing black high-heeled shoes. She was incomparably beautiful.

“Why did it take you so long to buy me wontons? I’m so hungry.” Shen Xian walked up to Hunter, took the lunch box, and ignored Lan Yuan, treating the person as nothing.

“It’s still a bit cold now. You’re wearing thin clothes. Let’s get in the house quickly.” Hunter pulled Shen Xian into the house. He was afraid that the two of them would meet again, which would be harmful to Shen Xian.

“Chen Xian.” Lan Yuan called out to the person who was about to enter the room. She didn’t know why she called out to Chen Xian, but she thought so in her heart and shouted out.

“Uncle, please go in first, I’m fine.” Shen Xian waited for Hunter to enter before turning around and looking at Lan Yuan.

Now there are only Lan Yuan and Shen Xian outside——

“Long time no see, Miss Lan.” Chen Xian greeted politely.

“Okay… okay… long time no see.” Lan Yuan almost stuttered. She didn’t expect that Shen Xian would pay attention to her, but she also didn’t expect that Shen Xian would be so unfamiliar, as if she really didn’t know him.

“Your husband is probably waiting for you to come home. This is the backstage, not the place you should be.” Shen Xian said coldly, then turned back, held the door handle, hesitated for two seconds, and opened the door.

Lan Yuan grabbed Shen Xian’s windbreaker sleeves, preventing her from entering.

While pulling, he accidentally saw the scar on Shen Xian’s wrist, and his heart was touched again, as if he had been stabbed by a knife.

“Have you not eaten? Let me treat you.” Lan Yuan timidly tried, although she knew that Shen Xian would probably refuse.

Shen Xian politely opened her hand and said, “Sorry, I’m not free.” Then he shut the door directly.

Then, Lan Yuan heard happy conversations coming from inside——

“Okay, finish the wontons while I’m talking to outsiders.” Shen Xian scolded Lisa in aggrieved manner.

This time Lisa returned to China with Shen Xian.

outsider?Are you actually an outsider?Lan Yuan felt that this word was extremely harsh.

“Uncle, help me, Lisa is so bad.” Shen Xian acted coquettishly to Hunter.

“Okay, I’ll go out and buy another bowl. It’ll be at the door soon.” Hunter said with a smile. He felt that these two people were already in their twenties, but they still looked like children.

“No, I’ll go home and eat noodles later.” Hunter had severe rheumatism, and Shen Xian was reluctant to let him walk more.

Zhao Wencheng found Lan Yuan at the backstage door and took him out.

Lan Yuan glanced at the wonton seller at the door. She thought that Shen Xian hadn’t eaten yet, so she wanted to buy a bowl for Shen Xian.

“Grandma, I’ll give you two silver dollars. I’ll guard the stall for you. How about you go to the backstage of this hotel and give a bowl of wontons to a friend of mine.” Lan Yuan walked to the wonton shop and spoke patiently, and took out the money and gave it to the old lady.

When the old lady selling wontons saw that the customer was paying so much money, she immediately agreed and left with a bowl of freshly cooked wontons.

Lan Yuan looked at the wonton stall with mixed feelings in her heart. She still remembered that after Shen Xian confessed his love that Christmas, he brought her to eat wontons. But now, the grandma who sold wontons has passed away, and she and Shen Xian have also parted ways.

The old lady came back soon and was polite to Lan Yuan, “Don’t worry, madam, I’ve already sent it over.”

“Okay, thank you.” After Lan Yuan learned that the old lady had settled the matter, she was about to get in the car and leave.

As soon as one foot stepped into the car door, Lan Yuan saw Shen Xian walking over with a bowl, and immediately retracted her foot without intending to leave.

Chen Xian poured the wontons directly in front of Lan Yuan. The soup and water splashed directly on the two of them, and Lan Yuan did not avoid it.

“What’s our relationship? Miss Lan will give me wontons. I won’t eat anything you buy with money, especially don’t disgust me with wontons.”

Shen Xian said angrily to Lan Yuan, then put the bowl back on the table of the wonton shop, threw down a silver dollar, turned around and left with a determined back.

Lan Yuan didn’t care about Shen Xian’s humiliation at all, and immediately caught up with Shen Xian, “I’m sorry, I apologize to you. I didn’t want to make you sick, I was afraid that you would be hungry.”

“Why do you have to be so hypocritical, Miss Lan?” Shen Xian stopped, looked at Lan Yuan’s face coldly, and thought of those painful scenes seven years ago.

“And your husband is right behind you. Can you pay attention? Do you really want your husband to know about our relationship?” Shen Xian angrily reminded Lan Yuan that she was a married woman.

Zhao Wencheng had never seen Lan Yuan lose control again and again. She was very curious about this short-haired woman who ignored Lan Yuan, and in public, he didn’t want Lan Yuan to ignore him like this.

“Lanyuan, our son is still at home waiting for you to tell a bedtime story.” Zhao Wencheng reminded deliberately.

When Shen Xian heard Zhao Wencheng’s words, his face became even uglier, and he felt even more disgusted with the couple, “Your child is still waiting for you. You are the only mother, so go home quickly.”

After saying that, Shen Xian walked away without giving Lan Yuan a chance to explain.

The driver drove the car, with Lan Yuan and Zhao Wencheng sitting in the back.

Zhao Wencheng closed his eyes and rested, with many questions hidden in his mind, “Do you know the lady just now?”

Lan Yuan bit her lip and had no intention of telling the truth, “She was my former piano teacher. I wasn’t good at studying, so I didn’t want to admit that I was her student.”

“I see, but your teacher has a bit of a weird temper.” Zhao Wencheng sneered.

“She has always been very good and has a good temper. It’s because I didn’t study hard, so she was so disappointed. She didn’t want to recognize me again after a long absence.” Lan Yuan said with her head lowered.

After seven years, Lan Yuan never thought that she would reunite with Shen Xian after a long absence, but when she saw that person, she still couldn’t help but get closer. She endured it for seven years, but she didn’t expect that her love for Shen Xian only increased, and Shen Xian was affected by every move she made.

Zhao Wencheng could see that Lan Yuan valued this teacher very much, so he could only comfort her, “You play the piano very well. It sounds good to me, but your teacher is too strict.”

Lan Yuan smiled helplessly. She didn’t want to talk to Zhao Wencheng too much about Shen Xian, “I’m tired. I’ll take a nap for a while and call me when I get home.”

The next day, Lan Yuan was still thinking about Shen Xian and wanted to take another look, so she went to Hunter’s cheongsam shop, but she didn’t see anyone and ran away empty-handed.

“Where has she gone?” Lan Yuan asked.

“None of your business, who are you to her?” Hunter teased Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan realized that she had indeed violated the rules, so she stopped asking and turned to talk about other things, “Chen Xian made the coffee that day, right?”

Hunter acknowledged with a nod.

So that’s it, Lan Yuan sighed in her heart, no wonder she could feel the familiar feeling after drinking it.

“Can you give me some coffee beans? Uncle.” Lan Yuan knew that she would never be able to drink the coffee made by Shen Xian again, so she wanted to keep a few beans.

“No.” Hunter refused directly. “If I give it to you, you will want to get closer to her even more, and you will be more aggressive. Don’t get close to her. It will be good for you and her.”

“I promise not to get close to her.” Lan Yuan said excitedly.

Hunter sneered, “Is your promise useful? You promised me that you would not abandon her, why didn’t you just leave her at that pier, only to turn around and marry someone else?”

In seven years, it was the first time that Hunter got angry at Lan Yuan, the first time he spoke loudly to Lan Yuan, and the first time he was so emotional.

“I was really sorry for Chen Xian back then.” Lan Yuan lowered her head in shame and allowed Hunter to criticize her. She had done something wrong and deserved to be scolded.

“If you are married and have children, don’t give up and don’t pretend to be deeply in love. Stay away from her and don’t hurt her again.” Hunter reminded Lan Yuan.

“I will continue to keep a distance from her, thank you uncle for reminding me.” Lan Yuan endured the pain and promised Hunter, and walked out of the cheongsam shop lonely.

Lan Yuan herself also knew that neither her current identity nor the harm she had inflicted on Shen Xian made her qualified to approach Shen Xian.

Watching Lan Yuan leave, Hunter remembered what happened at Yangzhou Pier seven years ago –

17:00, July 15, 1929——

The ship to Yangzhou arrived, but Shen Xian didn’t get on the ship at all. The whistle sounded, but Shen Xian still sat there, motionless.

Hunter also understood at that moment that as long as Lan Yuan didn’t come, Shen Xian would never return to England.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Shen Xian was still sitting there, and Hunter stood in the distance to accompany her quietly.

The weather was unfavorable and it started to rain heavily. Shen Xian was soaked all over and still sat there motionless. Hunter quickly bought an umbrella and put it on Shen Xian’s head.

“Uncle, she didn’t come, she didn’t come, I thought she would come.” Shen Xian knelt on the ground and cried, letting the rain wash away him.

Hunter noticed that Shen Xian’s wrist began to bleed again. It turned out that Shen Xian cut his wrist again and mutilated himself.

“Go to the hospital with uncle, get up quickly, don’t wait any longer.” Hunter threw away his umbrella and tried to pull Shen Xian away.

Shen Xian insisted on staying there and not leaving, “I will continue to wait for her.”

After saying this, Shen Xian suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground in a coma.

Hunter felt that Shen Xian’s forehead was hot and he had a high fever, so he quickly carried him to the hospital.

Lan Yuan’s wedding night, Chen Xian’s death.

The doctor diagnosed Shen Xian with internal hemorrhage in his liver. His liver had been injured before, and the old disease relapsed due to staying up late and drinking too much. It was more serious than last time and required partial liver resection.

The hospital does not have the specific drug sulfonamide, so it cannot perform surgery. It can only give Shen Xian temporary anti-inflammatory injections and anti-pyretic injections. Shen Xian’s illness cannot be delayed and he is in danger.

Moreover, sulfa drugs generally only appear in the military, and ordinary people cannot buy them at all.

Hunter contacted Xu Ziyu overnight, and Xu Ziyu went to ask Du Yunhe overnight.

Du Yunhe originally wanted to suppress Xu Ziyu, but finally took the opportunity and deliberately refused to administer the medicine.

Xu Ziyu kept bending over to apologize and threatening her unborn child before asking for sulfonamide.

After getting the medicine, Xu Ziyu set off to Yangzhou overnight and delivered it early the next morning.

Shen Xian had no consciousness at that time, and the doctor quickly arranged the operation after getting the medicine.

Half of his liver was removed, and Shen Xian slept for three days and three nights before waking up.

Hunter was guarding the hospital at the time and almost fainted when he heard it was said that Lan Yuan was married. Shen Xian almost had an affair. She had a flowing mat over there to celebrate her wedding.
