I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Sha Zhu had been wandering on Chang'an East Street for a long time. Across the street from him was the Kyoto Hotel.

The feeling he had now was just like he was standing opposite Heizhima Hutong Primary School more than ten years ago, waiting for Teacher Ran.

He still couldn't forget the feeling he had at that time. He had no idea if he would encounter that kind of situation again today.

Let’s do business first and deal with emotional issues later.

After thinking it over, Sha Zhu ran over from the other side of the street. Kyoto Hotel is a foreign-related hotel, and ordinary people cannot enter this gate.

He arrived at the entrance of Kyoto Hotel and told the guard in the reception room that he wanted to go in and look for the guest staying there. The guard asked for the guest's name and room number, and a phone call was made to the service desk in the lobby.

He didn't have to wait long before he saw Lou Xiao'e coming out of the building. He waved to her in a relaxed manner, but he was extremely nervous.

"I came to you today to ask about Xiao Huaihua's situation." Before Lou Xiao'e could open her mouth to ask, Sha Zhu rushed to explain.

"Did Qin Huairu ask you to ask?"

As soon as Lou Xiao'e finished her words, she felt a little regretful. What was she doing? She was acting like a grudge woman.

She motioned for Sha Zhu to follow her! Sha Zhu showed his work permit to the guard in the reception room, then filled out the visitor registration book and was taken to a tea room by Lou Xiaoe. Sha Zhu couldn't be taken into the room, because her mother Tan Yali's room was next to hers.

"The main reason is that Huaihua was abducted fifteen years ago, and her family missed her very much. So they asked me to ask you about her current situation."

After the waiter brought the tea set, Sha Zhu started explaining again.

"You also think that I kidnapped Huaihua? You should know best that I left Sijiu City overnight that night and never came back."

When Lou Xiao'e talked about this, she felt very aggrieved. Now everyone regarded her as a kidnapper, and her character was ruined!

"That night, if I had known that we would be separated for more than ten years, I should not have let you go."

When Sha Zhu saw Lou Xiao'e mentioned the incident, he immediately took advantage of the situation. He immediately looked heartbroken and tried to win back Lou Xiao'e's heart.

"It's too late to say anything now! No one knows what will happen in the future!"

Lou Xiao'e was also a little depressed. If she had taken Sha Zhu with her, the outcome would not have turned out like this.

"How are your parents doing in Hong Kong? Are they in good health? I heard that Hong Kong's economy is very developed, and your father must be a big boss there."

Sha Zhu started playing the family card again! He was the one who rescued the two elders. With this relationship, Lou Xiaoe had to treat him differently.

"My father has been dead for more than three years! This time I came to Sijiucheng with my mother to take back the house in Dongdan. You and Qin Huairu have been married for more than ten years, but you don't have your own children?" Lou Xiao'e also wanted to know the marital status of the two, and couldn't help asking.

When Sha Zhu heard that Lou Xiao'e could ask him this question, he immediately started to complain bitterly!

"You know what life the Jia family lived in the past. They couldn't even get enough food to eat! At that time, I couldn't bear to see her three children starving, so I helped her family a little more. I didn't expect that I would end up getting hurt too!"

Sha Zhu grinned and laughed at himself. His face was filled with indescribable sadness and inexplicable grievance.

"According to what you said, Qin Huairu forced you two to get married? How can a grown man like you be threatened by a widow? It must be that your will is not strong enough."

Seeing Sha Zhu's funny expression, Lou Xiao'e burst out laughing.

"Ah! It's hard to explain in a few words, so I won't talk about it. What's Huaihua's situation now?"

Sha Zhu also knew that he couldn't rush things. He could just take his time. It would take some time for the two of them to get back on track. He also didn't forget the task Qin Huairu had given him. He would finish it first.

"Huaihua went to Europe to participate in a piano competition some time ago, and she should be back in Hong Kong now. Let me tell you, under my training, Lou Xiao'e, Huaihua is very outstanding. She is now a doctor! By the way, she has the same last name as me, Lou Jingyi."

When talking about her adopted daughter Jingyi, Lou Xiao'e immediately became beaming with joy and became very proud.

"You rich families raise your children differently. Huaihua is also lucky. Her older brothers and sisters all graduated from junior high school. Her brother Banggeng would still be sweeping the streets if I hadn't found him a job!" Sha Zhu couldn't help but curl his lips.

If it wasn't for marrying his mother Qin Huairu, he wouldn't be willing to be such a sucker! That ungrateful bastard had been eating his food since he was a child, but in the end, he had been stuck for more than eight years. If he hadn't waited in vain for these eight years, he would have had his own child long ago!

"I'll make an international call tonight and ask her to come back to the city. This girl is also very busy. She just came back from studying in the United States a while ago."

Lou Xiao'e would never hide Jingyi and monopolize her, but instead hoped that they could be reunited as a family. She and her adopted daughter had a very good relationship, and she would never consider that her adopted daughter would no longer need her as a foster mother because she already had a biological mother.

"Her family wants to ask you for Huaihua's address and phone number. Her mother wants to write a letter and send it to her personally." Sha Zhu quickly stated the mission of his coming here.

What's the point of your calling? Her Jia family doesn't believe you. If I fail to complete the task today, Qin Huairu will give me a cold shoulder when I go back.

Without thinking, Lou Xiao'e immediately borrowed a pen and paper from the waiter and wrote down Jingyi's name, her address in Repulse Bay, and her phone number. She also wrote down the switchboard number of the Kyoto Hotel, so that if Sha Zhu had something important to talk to her about, he could call her and get transferred to her room.

The two chatted in the tea room for a while. Lou Xiao'e saw that it was almost dinner time, so she invited Sha Zhu to have dinner at the restaurant of the Grand Hotel. Sha Zhu then reluctantly said goodbye and left!

Lou Xiao'e returned to her guest room, and before she could close the door, her mother Tan Yali came over from next door.

"You've been out for the whole afternoon! Who called you just now?" Tan Yali couldn't help but come over and ask.

Lou Xiao'e ran out for most of the day yesterday, and she looked unhappy when she came back. Tan Yali knew where she went at a glance! It's been more than ten years since we last met, who would be so stupid as to wait for you for so many years?

"I went to the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang yesterday. Don't worry! I went to talk to the Jia family in the middle courtyard about Jingyi's current situation, but they all suspected that I had kidnapped Jingyi. I really can't explain it even if I have a mouth full of mouths!"

Lou Xiao'e concealed Sha Zhu's identity. The family education in their Lou family would never allow her to have any emotional involvement with a married man.

"You are in a thankless position! Can you explain such a bizarre thing clearly? As long as Jingyi goes back to visit her family, all doubts will be solved."

Tan Yali had considered this a long time ago, but Lou Xiao'e insisted on asking for trouble. Who can she blame?

"There is one more thing! Jingyi is already an adult and she has her own considerations. You can't make decisions for her on your own initiative!" Tan Yali warned her daughter again.

Lou Xiao'e was shocked! She hadn't even asked Jingyi before she gave her address and phone number. But they were blood relatives after all, so this shouldn't be considered as acting on one's own initiative, right?

I should make an international long-distance call first to tell Jingyi so that she can have some peace of mind.

Lou Xiao'e went to the lobby service desk of Kyoto Hotel again and paid to make an international long-distance call. However, when she called the villa in Repulse Bay, no one answered the phone.

There were Wang and his wife working as servants in the villa, so why was there no one answering the phone? Lou Xiao'e was puzzled and could only hang up the phone.

Jingyi ignored everything outside the window and stayed in the station to practice singing. The twelve classic European and American songs were nice to listen to, but they required a variety of singing techniques.

Especially for the high notes involved in these songs, everyone resonates in different parts. Jingyi needs to try them one by one! The resonance of the head cavity must be divided into the front, middle and back. The nasal cavity, oral cavity and chest cavity also have different ways of resonance.

She returned three years later. Although the singers in the Hong Kong music scene have not changed much, the songs have changed a lot.

Take Frances Yip for example. She used to sing European and American pop songs. But last year, she sang the theme song of "Shanghai Beach" in a magnificent and soul-stirring way. She has now transformed into a Cantonese singer!

Although the Hong Kong music scene is booming, some negative factors have also emerged. After songs in their own language have gained a place in the pop music scene, they actually look down on Mandarin songs and begin to reject Mandarin songs.

Some singers even think that Mandarin songs are too rustic and unworthy of Hong Kong culture. Those singers who came from the beautiful island of Lion City to develop their careers can only follow the local customs and learn to sing Cantonese songs.
