Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

In the auditorium where the cultural performance was held, people were coming and going, and Bai Xiaoyu was very eye-catching among the crowd.

She was wearing a simple beige dress and holding a bouquet of gorgeous pink lilies.

When her eyes fell on Qin Shi and Yan Lan not far away, her steps suddenly stopped, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly regained her composure.

Her eyes were as quick as a flash of lightning, quickly moving back and forth between the two of them. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

"Xiaoyu? Why are you here?"

There was a hint of surprise in Qin Shi's voice. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

"Brother Qin, I'm here with Vice President Shen." Bai Xiaoyu's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"It was all thanks to you, Brother Qin, for recommending me to the Qin Corporation."

Bai Xiaoyu was lucky. When she went there, Shen Yunzhong's original secretary was fired because she offended Mr. Qin. Since she studied a related major, she was assigned to the secretariat to work under Vice President Shen and temporarily replace the secretary.

Yan Lan only then realized that Bai Xiaoyu had originally come to Qinqi for an internship, and the sudden drawing leak scandal almost caused her to be fired by Qinqi.

Qin Shi was afraid that it would delay her internship career, so he recommended her to the Qin Corporation through Zhao Nan's channels.

No one else in the Qin family knew about the special relationship between Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Shi.

Yan Lan thought to herself that Qin Shi was indeed doing his best for Bai Xiaoyu.

"Vice President Shen's daughter is participating in a cultural performance at this school.

He originally wanted to come and show his support, but had to leave due to something urgent.

He asked me to stay and give flowers to his daughter on his behalf."

As Bai Xiaoyu spoke, she gently tidied the hair by her ears, a gentle smile on her face.

Vice President Shen is usually gentle and caring towards her, which makes Bai Xiaoyu, who has just entered the workplace, full of admiration.

Qin Shi nodded slightly, without revealing his relationship with Qin Shengsheng. He just said lightly: "I'm here to see my sister's performance too."

At this time, Bai Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Yan Lan. A trace of inquiry flashed in her eyes, but her face still had that sweet smile on it, pretending to be curious.

"Sister Yan Lan, why are you here too?

What a coincidence, we meet again."

Bai Xiaoyu had inquired privately and found out that Qin Shi had recently been transferred from Qinqi. Logically speaking, the car project had ended, and he and Yan Lan should have no more contact.

“It’s quite a coincidence indeed.

I happen to have a younger sister who studies here, and she's also going to participate in the cultural performance today."

Yan Lan said this and subconsciously took a step back.

She and Qin Shi are in a secret marriage. Today, many parents from Beijing's upper class circles are attending the art performance at the No. 1 Middle School. If they are not careful, their relationship may be exposed.

She was secretly alert and cautious in every move, for fear that others would see her flaws.

Her deliberate alienation made Qin Shi frown.

Because of Qin Shengsheng's arrangement, the three of them sat right next to each other.

Yan Lan sat at the very edge, and Qin Shi was in the middle.

Bai Xiaoyu was just about to sit down when she saw Liu Jinnian and Yan Xue coming over.

Yan Xue was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in her hand.

When Liu Jinnian saw Yan Lan and Qin Shi, he stopped in his tracks and a complicated look flashed across his face.

"Sister Yan Xue, are you guys coming to watch the cultural performance too?"

Bai Xiaoyu had a perfect smile on her face.

She had long heard from Yan Xue about the complicated relationship between Liu Jinnian and Yan Lan in the past. At this moment, in this subtle atmosphere, she keenly sensed that something good was about to begin.

Yan Xue held Liu Jinnian's arm tightly, and her posture seemed to declare to the world her ownership of Liu Jinnian.

She deliberately raised her voice, and said in a clear and somewhat boastful voice,

"Brother Jinnian's sister is also studying here. She has a solo dance today, and as her sister-in-law, of course I have to come and support her."

As she spoke, her face, which was delicately made up, was full of pride, and her eyes swept towards Yan Lan intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was provoking or demonstrating.

Then, Yan Xue raised her lips in a slightly sarcastic arc, glanced at Yan Lan, and continued,

"Sister, you are here to watch Qin Shengsheng's performance, right?

But I think you may not be able to see it. I just saw Cheng Cheng Lingling communicating with the host, saying that Qin Shengsheng was not feeling well and asked if her performance could be cancelled.

Alas, some people, even though they know they are not capable of it, still insist on pretending to be capable.

It's not even time for the performance, and you're trying to back out. How can you just cancel such a big performance with so many people coming to see it?"

Her words were full of gloating.

As soon as Yan Xue finished speaking, Yan Lan, who had been sitting quietly, stood up instantly, his eyes full of worry.

At the same time, Qin Shi also frowned. When Qin Shengsheng went out in the morning, he was still lively and energetic. How come he suddenly felt unwell?

A sense of unease welled up in his heart, and an inexplicable premonition told him that things might not be that simple.

Without time to think, the two of them quickly walked towards the backstage, one in front and the other behind, their steps hurried and eager.

Various situations that Qin Shengsheng might encounter kept appearing in Yan Lan's mind.

Qin Shize's face was stern and his eyes revealed worry.

Bai Xiaoyu stood there, watching the two people leaving, a hint of hesitation on her face.

She subconsciously glanced at the bouquet of delicate pink lilies in her hand...

At this time, the lights in the auditorium began to flash, indicating that the performance was about to begin.

Yan Lan and Qin Shi went to the backstage of the auditorium together. The performance was about to begin, so the backstage was very busy.

Yan Lan immediately saw Qin Shengsheng, who was sitting there in a daze with red eyes.

"Shengsheng?"

Qin Shi walked up.

Qin Shengsheng sat there, Cheng Lingling's anxious voice still echoing in her ears.

"Shengsheng, we've looked everywhere, but we can't find Ji Qingchuan."

"No one answered his phone. Where did that guy go when the cultural performance was about to start?"

She came back to her senses when she heard her brother's voice.

"Brother, Ji Qingchuan stood me up.

How could he do that to me?

Why did he disappear at this moment?

I'm about to go on stage, but I have no one to accompany me."

Qin Shengsheng felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.

For this performance, she practiced hard for more than half a month, just to prove to her father that she was better than Liu Shiyu at the art performance.

But in the end, all her efforts were in vain.

"Shengsheng, don't be anxious.

We’ll think of something else.”

Qin Shi looked at his sister and felt very angry. If he found Ji Qingchuan, he would never let him go.
