Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Does Liu Peijun know about this?" Xia Qingqing asked curiously.

"Lin Yaozu suppressed it. Liu Peijun only suspected it, but he had no evidence."

Xia Mingchen felt itchy and reached out to Qingtuan again, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he pulled his hands back.

Have to save room for dinner, there are so many delicious dishes.

Xia Qingqing couldn't help but sigh, "Lin Yaozu is too ruthless."

From this point of view, Liu Peijun is also a pitiful person. She was exploited by her parents' family, deceived by her husband's family, her son is not ambitious, and now she has such a powerful enemy.

It's a sin.

"Their marriage was originally a business partnership. If they talked about feelings, they would lose. Besides, Liu Peijun had no feelings for Lin Yaozu."

Xia Mingchen had a mocking look on his face, they were both the same kind of people.

Xia Qingqing's mind moved, and she couldn't help asking, "Does Liu Peijun have a man outside?"

Xia Mingchen rolled his eyes, "She doesn't have the guts. If she finds a man outside, the Lin family will divorce her immediately, and the Liu family will no longer support her."

In places like Southeast Asia, the status of women is extremely low. Even though Liu Peijun is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she must abide by the rules and remain a virgin for her husband.

Xia Qingqing sneered and said sarcastically, "Lin Yaozu can have a life of debauchery outside, but Liu Peijun has to keep her chastity for him. What a good rule!"

What a bullshit rules! They are shackles that oppress women!

"So what if you are dissatisfied? Can you fight against this society? People can only live better by going with the flow. Fighting against the whole world will not end well!"

Xia Mingchen spoke in a condescending tone and lectured Xia Qingqing.

"If everyone thought like you, society would not progress, and there wouldn't be so many changes of dynasties."

Xia Qingqing actually agreed with his point of view, but she just wanted to say a few words.

She is just an ordinary person. She doesn't want to be a savior hero. She just wants to live well with her brother, so she won't be a maverick.

"I don't care whether society is progressing or not. I only care about making money."

Xia Mingchen doesn't want to be a savior hero. He is not that great. He is just a vulgar man who is obsessed with money.

The dinner that day was unusually sumptuous. Xia Mingchen ate voraciously. His throat was full of food, but he still wanted another bowl of rice. His belt was loose by three holes, and he drank a large bowl of digestive soup before he could walk.

Xia Qingqing really couldn't bear to watch. Although he had been taking refuge inland for the past few years, Xia Dechang had not treated his precious son badly. He even had a cook and a driver. It was too embarrassing to let him act like he had not had a full meal.

"belch……"

Xia Mingchen burped long and went home happily.

The next morning, Xia Qingqing called the military region. Shen Qiubai hadn't called for more than ten days. She called him two days ago and he said he had gone on a mission and she didn't know if he had returned.

"Captain Shen hasn't returned from his mission yet, sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing, is Shi Tieniu here?"

"He's on a mission, too."

Xia Qingqing had no choice but to hang up the phone, but she was not too worried. Shen Qiubai often carried out missions and was very experienced. He also brought the medicine she prepared for his injuries and a few life-saving pills.

The main ingredient is ginseng grown in space, and a large amount of spiritual spring water is added to make a life-saving pill. As long as there is still a breath left, the person can be saved by taking the life-saving pill.

In the evening, Xia Qingqing, Song Chunlan, Zhuang Hongye, and Xiao Zhifei and his wife all went to see Xiao Yingyue's drama.

It was still A Doll's House, which opened on the 14th day of the first lunar month. Xia Qingqing was in Beijing at the time and was unable to watch it, but Song Chunlan and the others went to see it and said that the performance was very successful and Xiao Yingyue's acting was particularly good.

This time it was a gala for International Women's Day, and the theme of Xiao Yingyue and her group's play was the awakening of women's independent consciousness, which was very relevant, so they were invited to perform.

However, due to limited time for the evening party, only a small clip was selected. Xiao Yingyue initially played a supporting role, but because her acting skills were the best among all the actors, she was cast as the heroine Nora this time. In order to play the role well, Xiao Yingyue put in a lot of effort.

Xia Qingqing and her friends had tickets for the front row, and Xiao Yingyue's performance was scheduled for the end. The previous programs were all singing and dancing performances, which were quite exciting. When the party was about to end, it was finally Xiao Yingyue's turn to perform.

After more than ten minutes of performance, warm applause broke out from the audience. The audience's performance fully proved that the performance was very successful. Xiao Yingyue and all the actors bowed to express their gratitude.

Xia Qingqing was also surprised that Xiao Yingyue's talent in acting was better than she expected.

This girl was born to be an actress. As long as she doesn't get dragged down by her love life and concentrates on her career, Xiao Yingyue will definitely win a big prize in the film industry.

Xia Qingqing and the others went backstage. Xiao Yingyue was removing her makeup and was very happy to see them.

"How did I perform?"

"That's great. When you go to film school, study hard. After you graduate, I will invest in a movie for you." Xia Qingqing praised generously.

Children should be praised when they do well, and she hates repressive education the most.

"Ok!"

Xiao Yingyue nodded vigorously, her eyes particularly bright.

She didn’t have a particularly concrete concept of acting before, but she was willing to take this path because Xia Qingqing asked her to.

But now she has fallen in love with acting. She creates a character on stage that is completely different from her own personality, and then receives warm applause from the audience. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction she feels is something she has never experienced before.

She wants to step onto a bigger stage, have more people see her performance, and get more applause.

At this moment, the image of an actor began to take shape in Xiao Yingyue's mind, and she also set a goal for herself to become an excellent actor known by many people.

Xia Qingqing looked around and asked, "Zuo Yang is not here?"

"He has been busy with cases lately and is not available."

Xiao Yingyue pouted, looking a little regretful.

After all, it was Zuo Yang who brought her to this stage, but a few days ago Zuo Yang told her that he would no longer perform in a drama because he was too busy with work.

Xia Qingqing didn't care. The criminal police were indeed very busy, and Zuo Yang's acting in dramas was just a hobby.

After Xiao Yingyue removed her makeup, the family walked out of the theater and met Zuo Yang at the gate. He was riding a bicycle and looked a little haggard, with red eyes.

"The show is over? No matter how hard you try, you still can't catch up!"

Zuo Yang smiled, his tone somewhat regretful.

Xiao Yingyue snorted, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come to see it?"

"After all, I was your mentor, so I'm half your master. I have to come and see how you perform. Don't embarrass me!"

Zuo Yang joked deliberately.

"I performed so well that the applause from the audience was louder than thunder!"

Xiao Yingyue was very proud.

"Great!"

Zuo Yang gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Yingyue was immediately cheered up and chatted with him, telling him about the interesting things that happened during the rehearsal. Zuo Yang kept yawning and looked so sleepy that he could fall asleep on the ground at any time, but he did not forget to respond with a few words.

Xia Qingqing glanced at them for a few seconds and asked Song Chunlan in a low voice: "When did they become so familiar with each other?"

"We rehearse together every day, how can we not be familiar with each other?" Song Chunlan said with a smile.

Xia Qingqing glanced at the two of them again, and felt something was not right no matter how she looked at them. Could it be that they had developed feelings for each other during the rehearsal?
