While she was putting on her makeup and quietly repeating the host lines in the backstage, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind her, footsteps that were very soft and accompanied by the sound of people talking.
Su Qiuzi’s attention was drawn to it, at which the makeup artist who did her makeup smiled and said, “The musicians from the orchestra are here.”
While speaking, the band members came in. People who learned music have an exceptional temperament and carry a high pride in their bones. This kind of arrogance was not derogatory, it was similar to the host’s essence, making people look at them with extra distance, but at the same time feel that the other party was magnificent.
During the make-up time, the make-up artist said that their team had been working with the orchestra quite a few times. However, only a few people in the orchestra greeted them. The makeup artist was so embarrassed, Su Qiuzi also did not take the initiative to greet them, but only smiled lightly.
While she was smiling, a girl with big eyes and a high ponytail walked over. She was carrying a violin case on her back, she should be a violinist, she looked at Su Qiuzi first, when she smiled there were two small dimples, she looked about twenty years old.
“Are you the host of this concert?” the girl asked with a smile, her voice clear.
“Yes.” Su Qiuzi looked at the cellist standing behind her who was watching her, to which the violinist replied.
The girl looked up and down and finally commented, “It’s not much more beautiful than Sister Jiang Ye ……”
“Xiao Fen!” A woman interrupted Xiao Fen, and as soon as her voice came out, the musicians who had gathered together automatically made a way and a woman with an elegant air came over.
She was dressed simply in jeans and a tight black sweater plus a pair of brown leather boots, yet the beautiful woman was able to exude a sense of elegance even with the simplicity of the style.
She raised her eyes and swept Su Qiuzi, who looked at her, she withdrew her eyes and said to the musicians in front of her, “Disperse and go get ready, the rehearsal will start soon.”
The crowd scattered in response, and Xiao Fen seemed to have something to say, but was stopped by the woman with a glare. Su Qiuzi locked eyes with Xiao Fen as she watched her leave resentfully.
“She is Jiang Ye, the pianist of the orchestra, and she used to be the host of the concerts.” The make-up artist gossiped in a whisper with Su Qiuzi after the orchestra had dispersed.
After saying that, the make-up artist suddenly remembered something and said to Su Qiuzi: “Oh, right, she and Mr. He were……”
People were sometimes so wonderful, always speaking only half of the words, the remaining half left in the stomach, so that the listener gripped their ears. Su Qiuzi maintained the surface calmness, raised her eyes to look at her and asked, “Well?”
The make-up artist was aware of Su Qiuzi’s relationship with He Yu, after all, she and He Yu were so high-profile at Xu Zhi’s concert back then. So today, she treated Su Qiuzi very politely. A moment ago she did have something to say to Su Qiuzi, but before she could say it all, she felt guilty about gossiping behind her back. In front of Mrs. He, the make-up artist felt she should be more honest.
Problem truly comes from the mouth.
The makeup artist decided to come out clean, Su Qiuzi’s eyes faintly picked up, heart twisted a string, not budging on the surface. She took the phone, turned on the lock screen, and finally, put the phone away.
When He Yu called Su Qiuzi, Su Qiuzi had just changed her dress. She took a look at the phone, pressed the answer, and said in a flat tone, “Hello.”
He Yuan was very busy today and didn’t have time to contact Su Qiuzi until now. Hearing that her tone was a bit off, the man laughed in a low voice and asked, “Are you ready?”
“Hmm.” There was a slight weariness in He Yu’s voice, the fact that he was still running on fumes outside, but would slack off a bit in front of her. This kind of treating herself differently softened her heart a little.
“You are also going to attend the dinner tonight.” He Yu said, “Grandpa also had the hotel make a few dishes that you love to eat.”
Tonight’s dinner was in the form of a buffet, and the meal was provided by the Ji Li International Hotel, which was owned by the He Group. Hearing this, Su Qiuzi laughed and said, “He wants to raise me white and fat so that I can have big grandchildren.”
[TL/N:The body stores two main types of fat : white and brown. White dominates. It sits on our waist, hips and thighs and stores energy]
It was merely a joke, the old man would mention it from time to time recently, but he didn’t mention it head-on, rather, he would mention it in passing, and even used the bitter pill trick. When she accompanied the old man to play chess, the old man pounded his arms and legs, saying that he was old, his body was not functioning well, and he did not know when he could experience having a fourth generation living together.
The man’s low laughter came from the end of the phone.
Just listening to him laughing, Su Qiuzi’s smile also crept up to his eyebrows, but soon, someone next to him prodded, saying, “Ready?”
Su Qiuzi heard the voice, it was Jiang Ye, and her tone was light.
A while ago, the makeup artist told Su Qiuzi that in the past, when the orchestra performed, the host was always Jiang Ye. This time, she was suddenly replaced, so it’s no wonder that Jiang Ye and the several people who were good friends with her in the orchestra came to voice their grievances.
What does it mean to diss her for not looking as good as Jiang Ye? And there is also He Yu ……
When Su Qiuzi came out of the dressing room, Jiang Ye was standing outside with her performance clothes in her hands. As she came out, Jiang Ye’s eyes fell on the gown she was wearing, and for a moment her eyes were inexplicably wandering. But she was much more capable than Xiao Fen, and quickly hid her emotions.
“Are you ready?” Jiang Ye asked.
“Mm.” Su Qiuzi answered and then got up to leave. Behind her, there came Xiao Fen’s exasperated voice: “Her gown is a high-definition from X Group, it costs a small hundred thousand. If it weren’t for her, this gown would be yours to wear!”
After Jiang Ye scolded her, Xiao Fen clamped her mouth shut.
Su Qiuzi looked down at the gown on his body and raised his eyebrows. It was prepared for his wife Su Qiuzi to attend a dinner party, and it had nothing to do with the orchestra host, okay?
Hearing the voice over there, He Yu asked, “You’re with Jiang Ye?”
Indeed, He Yu knew Jiang Ye, which caused Su Qiuzi to frown, as if a spoonful of sour plum soup had been poured on her heart. After she echoed, she asked, “People in the orchestra don’t know that the two of us are a couple, huh?”
As soon as her voice fell, He Yu was silent for a while, and said: “They perform internationally all the year round, and there are very few domestic performances. So I guess they have not looked at the hotline news. But they do know that I am married.”
