The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

If I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to perform in front of so many people, as if I were being stared at naked. It made me feel so uncomfortable, but at that time I had no other choice.

Yun Yatou was indeed very different from me. The things I resisted facing, she could do so calmly. The things I was afraid to say and dared not do seemed to pose no obstacle to her at all. She could solve them easily. She even held her own when facing Boss Li. How could I not admire her?

If I didn't really know, probably no one would believe that she was someone who had many similar experiences to me and had also gone through so much pain. In that sense, there was indeed a big gap between us, and no wonder Miss Tong felt that she was not good enough to be by her side.

Actually, when we get to this point, we have to mention what Yun Yatou said in front of so many people before: that Kui'er would have some good news. Tong Qian originally thought that no matter how unwilling Kui'er was, she would at least want to have a basic farewell to her regular customers, so that some people could stay at the teahouse.

However, I didn't expect that after the final discussion with Boss Li, when I brought up that matter with her, all I could see on her face was resistance. If I didn't understand why she made such a choice, I would be puzzled, but I could understand her attitude at this moment, though I didn't really agree with it.

However, in order to get Kui'er in, we had already told so many people that we would tell them good news. If we didn't get that result, who knows what kind of trouble would happen. So, we had no choice but to let Yun'er act as our spokesperson again and go out to explain these things to the guests.

Hearing Tong Qian's request, Yun Yatou got up and went outside. Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of so many people, she shook her head slightly. In fact, if she didn't care, no one could really do anything good or bad to her. But thinking about what she had to do, she walked back to the place where Kui'er had been sitting and coughed lightly.

"Esteemed guests, I believe the reason you've been waiting here without leaving is because of the good news I just mentioned. However, Miss Kui'er, whom you've all been longing for, is still a bit surprised and needs some time to adjust. She will personally give you an explanation later."

"And I am here now to tell you about that matter. After careful consideration by Miss Tong and Boss Li, since Boss Li plans to add new activities for everyone's entertainment in the teahouse, Miss Kui'er will leave here temporarily at Miss Tong's request. However, she will return to play the zither for everyone on special occasions in the future."

"Everyone can look forward to what kind of activities Mr. Li will have next. However, as far as I know, they will be no different from our play over there. Moreover, if you still want to hear Miss Kui'er play the zither, you should come to the teahouse more often. Otherwise, when she comes back, if you don't come to support her, you won't be able to see Miss Kui'er again."

Having said that, listening to the murmurs below, I could only smile wryly. It seemed somewhat different from what I had expected, but amidst the minor differences, I heard too many voices expressing reluctance to part. What Miss Tong said was indeed true; many people here had come for Kui'er.

After the noise subsided slightly, he continued, "There will be other things to come, so please come to the teahouse often. It would be a shame to miss the news you're all looking forward to." With that, he didn't linger, leaving behind a group of people who were still confused and asking around what had happened.

Kui'er had actually been watching from the window the whole time. In Yun'er's words, she saw a side of herself that she didn't have, and she also saw the things she had always longed for.

Tong Qian looked at Kui'er's pale face, which had become pale because of these things, and then her eyes gradually filled with determination. She knew that Kui'er had understood something and made the right choice. So she continued what she had said before: "Although it is undeniable that your piano skills have indeed reached a superb level, that alone cannot change the established situation."

“The pieces you play must have been taught to you by someone, so they all existed before that. And you’ve played them so many times, so many people have already heard them. If you continue playing them, nothing new will happen. So I don’t want to keep using the pieces you already know.”

"To be honest, I had planned to teach Yun these things before, but there was never enough time. Now that you've appeared, there's much less for Yun to learn. Also, because of that plan, I have some other pieces on hand, and I'll get them for you when the time is right."

"Then you practice according to that, and after I combine that sheet music with it to write a suitable piece for Yun Yatou, the two of you can work together to create a form where the music blends together. I think it will be a different situation than combining storytelling and drama."

"At that time, we can see what other effects are, and make more accurate decisions about what might be used later."

As he said this, he turned to Yun and said, "Yun, you should talk to Kui'er about what I told you before. After all, she is the same person you were at the beginning. She has experienced more than you, so there shouldn't be many problems."

"You must remember, what I want to see is someone who can stand calmly in front of others, just like you, and even in front of the teahouse owner without any fear, not someone who becomes afraid to do or say anything because of some unnecessary emotions."

"Right now, let her stay in the teahouse, watch you sing, and check on the drama class. Remember, just let her keep you company. She doesn't need to play the piano right now. That should be saved for later, when she appears unexpectedly, to achieve the best effect."
