The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 71
byChapter 71
After Chen Xian woke up, he also knew the fact that Lan Yuan was married, and finally accepted the fact that Lan Yuan had abandoned him.
“Uncle, let’s go back to Jinling.”
Yangzhou was sad. She didn’t want to stay longer, and she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to help but pester Lan Yuan.
Because even if Lan Yuan married a business woman, Shen Xian still wanted to see that person one more time.
Hunter accompanied Shen Xian back to Jinling. At that time, Shen Xian was too weak and did not live at home. He continued to stay in Jinling General Hospital for three months.
Three months later, Shen Xian gradually regained his color, but after returning from Nanjing, he was completely gloomy.
Hunter also knew that all this was because of Lan Yuan. He couldn’t persuade Shen Xian to relax, so he stayed with her quietly, hoping that time would make her let go.
Shen Xian felt that her health was much better and she missed Lan Yuan much more deeply. She didn’t want to just look at Lan Yuan’s photos every day. She wanted to go to Yangzhou to take a look in person to see if Lan Yuan was happy.
“Uncle, I’m just going to take a look. I promise to come back obediently and not seek life or death.” Shen Xian begged Hunter.
After hearing this, Hunter and Xu Ziyu scolded Shen Xian for being spineless behind his back, but he still accompanied Shen Xian.
Because he knew that if Shen Xian was not allowed to go, that person would still sneak over.
It was just autumn and it was not too cold yet. Shen Xian still needed to wear a thick coat to keep warm. The train was bumpy and Shen Xian’s face was pale when he got off the car.
Without taking a break, Shen Xian quickly inquired about the situation of the Zhao family, wanting to know where Lan Yuan and her husband would go on weekdays, so that they could take a sneak peek in the dark.
As a result, I didn’t find out where the person was going, but I heard that Lan Yuan and Mr. Zhao were very much in love and were two months pregnant.
Lan Yuan actually became pregnant one month after their marriage. Shen Xian stood by the Slender West Lake and looked at the withered willows and found it unbelievable, even ridiculous!
Chen Xian never believed that Lan Yuan would like the person named Zhao, but Lan Yuan was really pregnant, which meant that Lan Yuan had really abandoned him!
Shen Xian kept throwing stones into the river to vent her emotions. She felt that she was the stone and would be sunk to the bottom of the river by the blue kite forever!
Chen Xian was no longer obsessed with looking at Lan Yuan, and was even afraid of seeing Lan Yuan’s bulging belly. She returned to Jinling overnight and couldn’t afford to fall ill again.
Xu Ziyu and Hunter were also sad about this——
Xu Ziyu originally thought that Lan Yuan was a love interest, but he didn’t expect that he was even more outrageous than himself. He was actually a master who could injure Shen Xian completely and still escape completely.
Hunter looked at Shen Xian lying on the hospital bed and wished he could go to Yangzhou to settle the accounts with Lan Yuan himself. But he also knew that this had nothing to do with Lan Yuan, so he gave up the idea. He simply felt that it was not worth it for Shen Xian.
Later, Xu Ziyu was also admitted to the hospital, partly to give birth to a child smoothly, and partly to accompany Shen Xian.
The two became sick friends and encouraged each other in the autumn when the phoenix trees turned golden.
“Don’t be afraid, you and your son will be safe.” Shen Xian said to Xu Ziyu while sitting on a bench outside the hospital.
“Why aren’t you afraid? This thing in my belly is getting bigger and bigger like a monster. I feel very uneasy, and I am older than the average age when giving birth.” Xu Ziyu sat next to Shen Xian and confessed her worries.
Shen Xian smiled helplessly, “How can anyone say that their child is a monster!”
“She is, but I hope she is a girl.” Xu Ziyu said with a smile, with the glory of maternal love.
“I like girls too.” Shen Xian looked at Xu Ziyu’s belly with a smile, and thought of Lan Yuan in a daze.
“She will always be gentle and kind, and she will be careful about herself. If she is a girl, she will be called Wen Shu. I hope she will be gentle, brave, prudent and independent.” Xu Ziyu touched her belly and said, giving her best wishes and blessings to this child.
“It’s a nice name, then I’ll call her Awen.” Shen Xian also touched Xu Ziyu’s belly. She was also looking forward to Awen’s arrival.
“This is your child too. You have to give me a big red envelope when the time comes. My godmother can’t be stingy.” Xu Ziyu knocked on Shen Xian’s head to remind her.
“Okay, okay, I will definitely give Awen a big red envelope, but we, Awen, must love her biological mother.” Shen Xian hoped that this child could warm and heal Xu Ziyu and bring her new hope. Her sister Ziyu was too miserable.
“Okay, the wind has picked up, let’s go back to the house and play cards.” Xu Ziyu grabbed Shen Xian’s arm and stood up. She was more than eight months pregnant and could no longer move independently.
“Okay!” Shen Xian carefully helped Xu Ziyu back to the ward.
In order to make Shen Xian happy and facilitate his own entertainment, Xu Ziyu changed the ward into a chess and card room and invited different card friends to play cards.
However, it is no longer like before. When playing cards, you are not allowed to smoke or drink, you are only allowed to eat some melon seeds and peanuts, and you are not allowed to say bad words, for fear that Awen will receive a bad prenatal education.
At the end of November, Xu Ziyu’s first child was about to be one month old, and she was pushed into the delivery room after shouting “What a mess!”
On the day of giving birth, Xu Ziyu had particularly good luck with cards and won everything.
Xu Ziyu also gave birth to a girl, and she chose the same name. The child was named Du Wenshu, and neither the Xu family nor the Du family had any objections.
Even though Du Yunhe was not satisfied with the fact that she was a girl, she was still his own flesh and blood, so he was not very disappointed!
Du Wenshu cried loudly at that time. This was the first time that Shen Xian felt that life was so vital.
“Sister Ziyu, there is another person who loves you in this world!” Shen Xian congratulated Xu Ziyu. She was sincerely happy for Xu Ziyu and put a big red envelope next to Xu Ziyu’s pillow.
“Awen will love you too in the future, and there will be one more person in the world who loves you.” Xu Ziyu told Chen Xian in a weak voice.
Seeing that Xu Ziyu almost lost half her life after giving birth, Shen Xian was also worried that Lan Yuan would have an accident during the birth. Later, he felt that this worry was unnecessary. Lan Yuan naturally had people who felt sorry for him, so he was not needed.
After Xu Ziyu gave birth to her child, Shen Xian also bought a boat ticket back to the UK. After that, the mountains and rivers were up and down, but she only left Xu Ziyu and Hunter with a word of respect!
In mid-December, Shen Xian dragged his illness back to the UK and spent this Christmas with his parents. It was also the last Christmas that their family of three spent.
With the bang of a gun, there is another person in the world who abandons Shen Xian!
For the next three years, Hunter never saw Shen Xian again, until the summer of 1933, when Shen Xian suddenly appeared in the tailor shop and gave him his graduation photo.
And four years after that, only a few days ago, Hunter saw Shen Xian for the second time.
In the past seven years, Hunter and Shen Xian had only had a two-way relationship.
He felt that Shen Xian had become more mature and steady, and also became more gloomy and silent. Even though Shen Xian still looked as happy as before, after all, he felt a little bit more like things were different than others!
Saying goodbye to those memories, Hunter continued to be busy. He had to continue making cheongsams for guests.
After Lan Yuan left Hunter’s store, she let the driver drive around aimlessly. After thinking about it for a long time in the car, she decided to go find Feng Jia.
Feng Jia moved out from home and lived alone, right next door to the home where Chen Xian and Lan Yuan once lived.
After Lan Yuan knocked on the door, Feng Jia immediately opened the door.
“Cousin, why are you here suddenly?” Feng Jia asked.
“Shenchen is back.” Lan Yuan said with her head lowered.
Feng Jia was stunned for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“Have you met?” Feng Jia asked.
“See, she is very cruel to me.” Lan Yuan sat on the sofa and sighed.
Feng Jiaqing understood Shen Xian. After all, her cousin was too cruel at the time. She and Lan Yuan had discussed the details of their breakup, and they both felt that Lan Yuan was too heartless, but she didn’t dare to say anything because she was her cousin.
“Drink a glass of water and take it easy. It’s normal for your ex to be extremely jealous when you meet her.” Feng Jia poured a glass of water for Lan Yuan.
“I know she won’t forgive me, but it’s still sad to hear those harsh words.” Lan Yuan said, holding the cup.
Before yesterday, Shen Xian had never been angry with her. When they had a quarrel, Shen Xian would always take the initiative to coax her and give in.
It was only after listening to Chen Xian’s angry words yesterday that Lan Yuan realized how heartbroken Shen Xian would be when she scolded those unpleasant words!
“Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Shen Xian may also be angry.” Feng Jia sighed to comfort Lan Yuan.
“Yeah, after all, I was so cruel to her, so it’s normal for her to scold me.” Lan Yuan smiled helplessly.
“What are your plans next? Do you plan to continue meeting her?” Feng Jia asked tentatively.
Feng Jia was vaguely afraid that Lan Yuan would cheat on her because she always felt that her cousin would do anything for Shen Xian.
Lan Yuan sneered, “She must be willing to see me!”
When Feng Jia heard this, he felt that Lan Yuan might choose to cheat!
“But I don’t want to see her either. My appearance will only ruin her life. I don’t want to hurt her anymore.” Today, after Hunter reminded her, Lan Yuan also gave up the idea of meeting Shen Xian. She really shouldn’t pester Shen Xian anymore.
Feng Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his cousin could carry it clearly!
“This is actually good. It’s good for you and her.” Feng Jia said calmly. She was glad that her cousin could see the current situation clearly.
“By the way, is the factory still going well?” Lan Yuan asked.
In the past seven years, Lan Yuan, Qian Pei and Feng Jia have jointly operated a textile factory to provide employment opportunities for women.
“It went very smoothly. It wasn’t affected by the war. Besides, Sister Pei has connections with the Police Department, so no one dared to cause trouble.” Feng Jia explained.
“Xiao Jing has just started school. I have some other things to do here. I will go back to work in a few days.” Lan Yuan felt bad knowing that Feng Jia was busy with things in the factory these days.
“I’m in the factory and I’m free. You go about your business first.” Feng Jia understood the trivial matters at Lan Yuan’s home.
And now that Shen Xian appeared, Feng Jia knew that it would be difficult for Lan Yuan to avoid chaos.
“Okay, thank you cousin.” Lan Yuan said gratefully.
After spending the weekend, Lan Yuan continued to send her son Zhao Jing to school on Monday. As usual, she dressed intellectually and elegantly.
“Goodbye, mom.” When they arrived at the school gate, Zhao Jing and Lan Yuan waved goodbye.
“Okay, mom will pick you up after school.” Lan Yuan also waved to Zhao Jing.
Although he is not his biological son, he still has some feelings for him.
“Goodbye, godmother.” Du Wenshu kissed Chen Xian and ran into the school.
This scene happened to be seen by Lan Yuan. Lan Yuan felt sour in her heart and continued to look at Shen Xian——
Shen Xian is wearing black corduroy pants, a camel-colored windbreaker, and a black turtleneck sweater underneath. He has a tall and slim figure, and with neat short hair, he looks sharp and beautiful!
Lan Yuan thinks Shen Xian looks particularly good in this kind of clothes, and even today, she still feels excited.
When Shen Xian saw off the child and turned to leave, he also noticed Lan Yuan’s gaze.
Separated by seven or eight parents, they looked at each other and read in each other’s eyes that times had changed and things were no longer the same.
“I took the liberty of disturbing you that day, and I would like to apologize to you again.” Lan Yuan walked through the crowd and walked to Chen Xian and said.
Chen Xian took a step back because of Lan Yuan’s approach, continued to keep his distance, and said coldly: “Since you know it’s presumptuous, don’t bother me again!”
“I accidentally drank the coffee you brewed that day, and I wanted to replenish it for you. Can I buy you a cup of coffee today?” Lan Yuan asked politely.
After all, she still wanted to have some interaction with Shen Xian, which went against what she and Feng Jia had said.
And seeing that Xu Ziyu and Xu Ziyu’s daughter have such a good relationship with Shen Xian now, Lan Yuan also wants to try to get along as friends.
Besides, it was not sure whether Shen Xian would stay in Jinling for a long time when he returned this time, so Lan Yuan wanted to seize the opportunity.
“Does Miss Lan feel that she only owes me a cup of coffee? After seven years, Miss Lan actually feels that she only owes me a cup of coffee!” Shen Xian said sarcastically, with fierce words.
Lan Yuan read disgust, complaints and dissatisfaction from Shen Xian’s eyes!
