At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 242, Not Yet... (Please Subscribe)
Shen Qiushan looked at Lin Moxuan speechlessly. The other party had indirectly dragged him into this matter, and this was all for this?
Sure enough, among men, the little blue bottle is the real currency!

What is the little blue bottle?

Lin Jiayu looked at her father and brother-in-law Shen Qiushan with suspicion.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingzhu and her daughter Lin Xiamo silently lowered their heads and began to eat.

"Children shouldn't ask random questions."

Lin Moxuan replied with a straight face.

"I'm already 20 years old."

"I'm not a child anymore!"

Lin Jiayu gently pursed her lips.

Lin Moxuan naturally wouldn't explain this to his daughter. He turned to Shen Qiushan and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Hmm, three bottles at most."

Shen Qiushan hasn't been participating in lotteries much lately, and he doesn't have much stock on hand, so he needs to be more frugal.

"Okay, deal!"

Lin Moxuan immediately nodded. In fact, he was just taking a chance. Although he did not agree with Lin Xiamo's resignation, the matter was already settled and could not be changed.

Moreover, Lin Xiamo also got the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, which can be considered as bringing honor to her family!

Red Rose Tavern.

Although the weather is already very cold.

But customers kept coming to check it out, and there was still a long queue at the entrance.

Luo Yao, who had returned to Sanjiang for winter break, met up with her high school friend Liu Meiyu, who had been admitted to the Sanjiang Conservatory of Music. The two had also interacted when Lu Xingchen held a concert in Sanjiang last time, because Shen Yixiao appeared on the big screen at the venue.

"I didn't expect it to be so popular!"

Do we need to queue?

Looking at the long queue, Liu Meiyu frowned.

"Let's line up, we're already here."

Luo Yao came to the Red Rose Tavern for two reasons: one was to repair her relationship with Shen Yanran, and the other was to see if there was any possibility of getting back together with Shen Yixiao.

After returning to Sanjiang for winter vacation, her mother gave her a severe scolding.

After all, Luo Yao was just a hair's breadth away from "marrying into a wealthy family"!

Luo Yao herself was also extremely regretful. After breaking up with Shen Yixiao, she discovered that her "future father-in-law," Shen Qiushan, was becoming more and more arrogant.

She couldn't even imagine how much money the other person had made, or how terrifying their net worth must be now.

"How about I call Yanran?"

"Looking at her WeChat Moments, it seems she's been helping out at the bar lately."

Liu Meiyu and Shen Yanran also knew each other; they were friends during high school.

However, at that time, Shen Yanran and Luo Yao had a better relationship.

"Yeah, that's okay."

Luo Yao nodded, because Shen Yanran had blocked all her contact information, so she couldn't reach the other party.

Liu Meiyu immediately dialed Shen Yanran's number.

After waiting for a while, the call was finally answered: "Meiyu, what's up?"

"Yanran, are you at the Red Rose Tavern?"

"Yes!"

"I'm in line outside, can I cut in line?"

Liu Meiyu asked with a smile.

"what?"

You're outside!

"I'm going out now!"

Although Shen Yanran broke off her friendship with Luo Yao, she still cherished her friends from high school.

"Yanran, tell her to come out now."

"Didn't you say I was here?"

Before I could explain in detail, Yanran hung up the phone.

Liu Meiyu shrugged.

Just as the two were talking, Shen Yanran, wearing an apron with the "Red Rose Tavern" logo, rushed out of the shop.

She glanced at the crowd waiting for a table and immediately spotted Liu Meiyu and Luo Yao.

Shen Yanran raised her eyebrows slightly; clearly, she hadn't expected Luo Yao to be there as well.

However, now that she's out, it's impossible for her to ignore Liu Meiyu just because Luo Yao is there.

"Yanran, over here!"

Liu Meiyu waved to Shen Yanran with a big smile.

Shen Yanran took a deep breath and walked over quickly.

"Yanran, long time no see."

Luo Yao took the initiative to speak.

"Well, long time no see."

Shen Yanran nodded slightly. When she blocked Luo Yao, she was also in a state of anger.

Looking back, there was no need to be so extreme. After all, the two were once friends, and all we needed to do was let it go.

Only children act impulsively!
Adults often say goodbye quietly.

You've been in touch with a friend you used to be very close to, less and less, month after month, two months...

One day you suddenly realize that you haven't been in contact for a year or two. Your former friends have slowly drifted apart in the quiet passage of time.

"Yanran, I hope our relationship won't be affected by my breakup with Shen Yixiao."

"If what I did hurt you, I apologize to you now!"

Luo Yao said with a sincere expression.

"Go in and talk."

Shen Yanran waved her hand casually, knowing that her relationship with Luo Yao could never go back to what it was before.

However, since we are classmates, we will still have opportunities to meet, such as the class reunion during this winter break.

Even before the holiday started, class monitor Zhou Yu had already started organizing a class reunion in the class group chat.

The chubby boy who had pursued Shen Yanran for three years was admitted to a university in Shanghai. Although he and Shen Yanran were separated by distance, he still harbored feelings for her.

He would still occasionally send WeChat messages to Shen Yanran. This time, he organized a classmate reunion during the winter break, which could be said to have ulterior motives.

He knew it was unlikely he could ask Shen Yanran out alone, so he organized a classmate reunion.

Actually, these kinds of high school reunions are quite normal, especially in the first year or two of college.

During holidays, there's always someone organizing a high school reunion.

In the first couple of gatherings, the students are usually very enthusiastic about participating, but the number of participants decreases as the gatherings progress.

Gradually, these class reunions disappeared. This is an inevitable trend, because as people get older, most people's social circles are reduced.

Shen Yanran probably doesn't realize now that many of her high school classmates, whom she thought she would always have contact with, might be people you can't even remember the names of many years later.

But at this age, she still values ​​friendships with her classmates.

Enter the tavern.

Shen Yanran led the two of them behind the bar.

Xu Pipa was busy mixing drinks at the moment. She naturally knew Luo Yao, but she also knew that Shen Yanran and Luo Yao no longer had any contact because of Shen Yixiao.

So when she saw Luo Yao, she was quite surprised, but still greeted her politely.

"Loquat, you can mix drinks?"

Luo Yao looked shocked.

In her memory, Xu Pipa was an introverted little girl who didn't like to talk.

She could never connect bartending with Xu Pipa.

"I only know some simple ones."

Xu Pipa replied modestly.

"Loquat, do you still remember me?"

Liu Meiyu naturally knew Xu Pipa, the top student at the school, but the two didn't have much interaction during high school.

"Yes, you are Liu Meiyu."

As a key member of the school's arts and culture group, Liu Meiyu frequently appeared in various cultural performances, and Xu Pipa also remembered her. "Haha, it seems that the activities I participated in during high school were still somewhat useful."

Liu Meiyu smiled.

Xu Pipa nodded slightly and continued with her work.

"Yanran, I saw a poster at the bar advertising for a resident singer. What do you think of me?"

Liu Meiyu then turned to look at Shen Yanran.

With the winter break approaching, many students in the pop music club will be going back to their hometowns.

There were naturally fewer singers during the daytime hours, so Hu Tingting wrote an advertisement on the small blackboard at the entrance of the bar to recruit resident singers.

Are you looking for a part-time job?

Shen Yanran looked at Liu Meiyu with considerable surprise.

"Have you forgotten that I studied at the Sanjiang Conservatory of Music?"

"I'd consider myself a semi-professional singer, you know!"

Before coming here, Liu Meiyu had never thought about working part-time.

However, after seeing the job posting at the entrance of the Red Rose Tavern, she had the idea of ​​coming here for a part-time job.

Firstly, it allows you to accumulate performance experience and hone your singing skills.

Secondly, the Red Rose Tavern is very popular, and she can ride on its popularity.

And most importantly, working part-time at the Red Rose Tavern might give you the opportunity to meet Shen Qiushan.

In most people's eyes, Shen Qiushan is a famous writer.

However, in the eyes of music professionals, Shen Qiushan is a famous musician.

Although he has only composed three songs so far, all three have become wildly popular.

Moreover, each song has a different style, so it's no exaggeration to call him a musical genius!

For music students like Liu Meiyu, the biggest goal is naturally to become a famous singer.

So, the best way to become a famous singer is to have a signature song.

Such representative works are rare and hard to come by. If one is lucky enough to get a song by Shen Qiushan, that would be even better.

"Then you can try it in a bit!"

Shen Yanran pointed to the stage. It wasn't evening yet, and Cheng Yuanyuan and Yao Shutong from the Pop Music Club were performing on stage.

Both are core members of the pop music club, possessing good looks and singing skills. With their recent experience at the Red Rose Bar, they have become quite mature resident singers.

The two are currently singing a classic old song together, and the atmosphere in the bar is very pleasant.

"Okay!"

Having participated in countless cultural and artistic activities since childhood, Liu Meiyu was naturally not intimidated and readily agreed.

"Then I'll tell Aunt Tingting."

Shen Yanran picked up the walkie-talkie under the bar and communicated with Hu Tingting, who was busy in the bar.

"okay!"

Liu Meiyu smiled and agreed, she hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain this time.

When the next performance session began, Liu Meiyu actually took to the stage.

As a music academy student and a semi-professional singer, Liu Meiyu's performance was quite good, no worse than Cheng Yuanyuan and Yao Shutong's.

"Meiyu sang so well!"

Luo Yao made conversation by expressing her feelings.

Shen Yanran remained silent, still feeling somewhat awkward in front of her former friend.

"Yanran, I really know I was wrong."

Can we still be friends?

Under the cover of the singing, Luo Yao turned to Shen Yanran and said.

"To be honest, given how things have turned out between you and Shen Yixiao, as his sister, I can't stand on the same side as you."

Shen Yanran shook her head first: "However, I don't want us to act like strangers."

Let's go back to being classmates.

"This kind of relationship is better."

In fact, Shen Yanran had no idea how to handle this kind of relationship.

Her idea was that they would meet again sometime in the future, and she wanted to maintain appearances and avoid making the relationship too strained.

"okay!"

Luo Yao nodded. She knew that it was impossible to repair her relationship with Shen Yanran all at once; she had to take it slowly.

However, this is already a good start.

So after hearing Shen Yanran's words, Luo Yao was in a very good mood.

"I heard Shen Yixiao has a new girlfriend?"

Luo Yao asked again.

"Yes, I've talked to one."

Shen Yanran didn't hide it; when Shen Yixiao and Lin Yufei confirmed their relationship, Shen Yixiao posted it on her WeChat Moments.

His high school classmates all knew this, so it was impossible for the news not to reach Luo Yao's ears.

"How are they?"

"Very good?"

Luo Yao pressed for an answer.

"It should be good!"

Shen Yanran nodded: "Shen Yixiao went to see her parents as soon as her vacation started."

"Luo Yao, I think since you've broken up with Shen Yixiao, it's best to avoid any further entanglements."

"After all, you all have your own lives now!"

"Ok, I know."

Luo Yao nodded with a gloomy expression, then added, "However, I still want to say that I really regret breaking up with Shen Yixiao!"

"This must be the stupidest decision I've ever made in my life!"

"Ugh……"

Luo Yao sighed, wanting to say something more.

Shen Yanran waved her hand and said, "Let bygones be bygones."

Just as the two were talking, Xiao Sinian came to the bar with a tray: "Loquat, two glasses of Blue Impression."

Having worked part-time, Xiao Sinian quickly adapted to the tavern's working environment and became a very qualified waiter.

Upon seeing Xiao Sinian, Shen Yanran's eyes lit up instantly: "Senior Xiao, how do you feel?"

"Are you getting used to it yet?"

Shen Yanran took the initiative to start a conversation.

"I'm adapting quite well; it's easier than I expected."

Xiao Sinian may seem like a cool and aloof male god, but that's not actually the case.

His situation is somewhat similar to Xu Pipa's; his poor family background indirectly contributed to his introverted nature.

Once they got to know each other, Xiao Sinian was quite talkative. At the moment, he didn't know what Shen Yanran was thinking, but he still had some good feelings towards this beautiful junior who was also the "boss's" daughter.

"That's good!"

Shen Yanran nodded with a smile, then whispered, "Senior Xiao, it's okay to slack off a little."

"Uh……"

Xiao Sinian looked at Shen Yanran with considerable surprise, thinking to himself: Isn't this your family's business?
Shen Yanran giggled: "Just kidding!"

"I took it all seriously."

Xiao Sinian shrugged, and at that moment Xu Pipa placed the two glasses of mixed wine onto the tray.

"I'll get busy first."

He nodded to Shen Yanran and carried the tray to serve wine to the guests.

"Yanran, is this your boyfriend?"

Luo Yao keenly noticed that Shen Yanran's attitude towards the boy from earlier was quite unusual.

"Not yet..."

Shen Yanran blurted out.
