After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant
Chapter 035
Wen Yibei walked back to his relatives from the stage, with a gentle smile as always, "Grandpa, what do you think?"
Shi Yunnan met his gaze, and couldn't stop his proud glance, "That's needless to say? Who dares to have an opinion on the performance of cellist Wen?"
Wen Yibei let out a low laugh, and couldn't help but move back to his younger brother, "You,... you have too much filter on me, please keep a low profile for me."
"What are you low-key about? Your excellence is not a day or two away." Shi Yunnan replied.
Old Mr. Wen, who was close, heard the conversation between the two brothers, and said with a smile, "You two brothers are both excellent in the eyes of grandpa. Don't be afraid that these guests will listen to jokes!"
Mr. Wen knew that the two brothers had supported and encouraged each other over the years, and they had never had any conflicts.
Even though Shi Yunnan failed to embark on the path of a 'violinist' in the end, it did not affect Mr. Wen's attitude towards him at all. He was unspeakably satisfied and loved his two grandsons.
Guests around responded, "That's right, Young Master Wen's cello, that's really nothing to say!"
Another young voice rang out, "I've already acted as my elder brother. Second Young Master Shi, as my younger brother, shouldn't I also go up and perform?"
When Shi Yunnan heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly.
He immediately looked towards the source of the sound, and it was a young man with an unfamiliar face.
Wen Yibei also sensed something was wrong, he was just about to politely refuse on behalf of his younger brother, but there was a reply from the crowd first, "It's necessary."
Wen Chenglang appeared out of nowhere, and replied instead of Shi Yunnan, "My two cousins, one played the cello and the other played the violin when they were young, and they were famous back then."
When the two brothers were seven years old, they signed up for the most authoritative "Huaguo Instrumental Music Competition". One won the champion of the cello special group, and the other won the violin special group champion.
Even the ensemble project of the two won the championship from the mixed group of young players.
As soon as the news got out, everyone learned that they were Mr. Wen's grandsons.
It’s just that the good times didn’t last long. Less than two months after the game, the brothers’ mother, Wen Min, passed away unexpectedly. Wen and Shi’s family had a big fight, and their relationship was completely broken. In the end, each of them brought back a child.
Most of the guests in the arena are in the music circle, and they are not very sensitive to the gossip of wealthy families, so——
Wen Yibei lived in Wen's family, and they had heard about his outstanding achievements since childhood, but they didn't know much about Shi Yunnan's experience in Shi's family these years.
A middle-aged guest remembered the glory of the two brothers back then, and added a suggestion with a smile, "Yes, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't Second Young Master Shi come on stage and play a song to cheer up the fun."
"..."
Shi Yunnan didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Wen Chenglang.
Wen Chenglang met his gaze without fear, and walked slowly back to Song Zhiqiu's side. The moment he raised his wine glass and made a slight gesture, it was obviously a malicious provocation.
When Luo Lingsheng and Wen Yibei saw this scene, their expressions changed in unison.
Luo Lingsheng's deliberately restrained aura instantly turned cold and heavy, while Wen Yibei silently protected his younger brother.
It's fine if outsiders don't know, how could the Wen family not know what happened to Shi Yunnan these years, and how could they not know that Shi Yunnan had already been 'forced' to give up the violin?
Wen Chenglang deliberately took advantage of the interest of other guests to propose, to put it bluntly, he wanted Shi Yunnan to ride a tiger and make a fool of himself in front of all the guests after he took the stage!
Mr. Wen realized that his grandson's words were wrong, and his brows frowned slightly, "Cheng Lang, I just have this time today, why don't you play a song for everyone first? So that Grandpa can see if he has made progress."
Old Mr. Wen didn't want to embarrass Shi Yunnan, nor did he want to reprimand Wen Chenglang for not saving face in public, so he had to find a way to move the topic away.
But what I didn't expect was that Wen Chenglang deliberately refused to accept the offer.
He replied in a good voice, "Grandpa, now everyone is waiting for my cousin to come on stage to add to the fun, how can I have the nerve to steal his glory?"
"After he finishes playing, if everyone still wants to watch me play, it's not too late for me to play."
Wen Chenglang changed from his usual meanness to a good-natured appearance, as if he was thinking of Shi Yunnan in every word he said.
As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling face with your hand, even if someone sees something, they won't blame him on this occasion.
Wen Chenglang is two years younger than the two brothers, and he chose the violin as an entry-level instrument since he was a child.
When he was seven years old, he participated in another Huaguo Instrumental Music Competition, but he was eliminated in the preliminary round because he pulled the wrong score.
Because there is such an excellent example as Shi Yunnan before, others will always use it for comparison intentionally or unintentionally, and Wen Chenglang always feels ashamed.
Later, when Shi Yunnan lost his voice in the field of 'violin', Wen Chenglang regained his pride.
But the bad thing is that Wen Yibei, whose musical system is similar to his, is even better than him.
Over time, Wen Chenglang's dissatisfaction turned to jealousy, and then from jealousy to disgust and targeting, and he has come to the present step by step.
Just because outsiders can't see it doesn't mean that the Wen family can't see it.
Wen Yanfeng saw his son's deliberation, and immediately frowned, "Wen Chenglang, have you forgotten what I said?"
He deliberately lowered his voice, but the warning in his words was still very obvious.
As soon as Song Zhiqiu heard his attitude, he immediately began to defend his son, "Why are you yelling at him? Xiao Lang is doing well today, and besides, everyone wanted Yun Nan to play the violin."
She looked past her husband, looked at Shi Yunnan and smiled and changed the topic back, "Yunnan, don't spoil everyone's interest."
After going back and forth, everyone present finally saw some tricks - Shi Yunnan is not planning to go on stage?Has he given up the violin?
But soon, someone in the crowd took over and replied, "I think Second Young Master Shi hasn't touched musical instruments much in these years abroad, so don't make things difficult for him."
"Third young master, why don't you just do it yourself! I heard that you have been shortlisted as a new member of the Huaguo Violin Association?"
The one who said these words was the strange young man who suggested that Shi Yunnan play the violin.
Feeling the cooperation between him and Wen Chenglang, Shi Yunnan smiled without saying a word.
"A new member of the association?" Song Zhiqiu was overjoyed, "Xiao Lang, why didn't you tell your family members about this kind of good news earlier?"
The complexions of Mr. Wen and Wen Yanfeng also changed, as if they couldn't believe the sudden news.
After all, the new members of the Huaguo Violin Association are definitely not so easy to be shortlisted.
Compared with Song Zhiqiu's blind recognition of Wen Chenglang's playing ability, the father and son obviously understand Wen Chenglang's upper limit of ability better.
The surrounding guests finally understood——
Shi Yunnan had such a great talent when he was a child, but now he has given up on the violin?
On the contrary, Wen Chenglang, who was compared with mediocre talent when he was young, will soon become a new member of the Huaguo Violin Association with his own efforts?
Is this really 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi?
In front of many guests, Wen Chenglang responded with a sense of composure, "I'm not sure about being shortlisted. After all, there are so many excellent people competing with me."
"However, the result is not bad..."
Compared with those young violinists who are only 19 or [-] years old, his playing time is obviously longer and he has more experience.There are five spots, no matter how he can get one, right?
Hearing Wen Chenglang's reply, all eyes from all directions were focused on Shi Yunnan for a moment, some expressed deep regret, some plainly lamented, as well as those who secretly belittled the excitement.
Shi Yunnan didn't feel ashamed of such remarks.
Not to mention that he has harvested jewelry design, a field that can continue to shine, just on the violin——
Skills are not as good as people's skills are not as good as people's skills. He regretted giving up the violin at the beginning, but he also understands that the past cannot be recalled.
The most important thing is that Luo Lingsheng still likes the sound of his violin even if he is not as good as before, and that is enough.
As for this deliberately provoking Wen Chenglang, Mr. Wen doesn't want to care about his [-]th birthday for the time being, but once again, he can't guarantee where his fist will land.
In contrast to Shi Yunnan's calmness, Wen Yibei saw his younger brother being baptized by such gazes, and suddenly felt an unknown anger towards the perpetrator.
Just as he was about to speak, there was another commotion outside the crowd——
"Teacher Mo Qin is here!"
"Hello, Mr. Mo."
The crowd automatically bypassed a side path, revealing the figure of the person who came out.
The man was wearing an iron gray suit, his beard and hair were graying, but he looked hale and hearty.
Shi Yunnan recognized the other party, and murmured, "...Teacher."
Luo Ling whispered, "Teacher?"
Shi Yunnan bent down and explained, "Mo Qin, the most outstanding violinist in China."
When Mo Qin was young, he was the first Chinese violinist to win an important international award, which shows his identity.
"I won the first prize in the competition back then. Mr. Mo took the initiative to take me under his tutelage for a while, but it's a pity..."
It's a pity that Wen Min died suddenly unexpectedly, and the teacher-student relationship between the two was also forced to end, and it took only two months.
Mo Qin walked straight to Mr. Wen with a roll of paper and ink, and congratulated Mr. Wen, "Old birthday star, I wish the sun and the moon a prosperous future, and Songhe Changchun!"
"I still have to go to other provinces to attend a seminar. If I drive to this area in a temporary car, I can still catch up to wish you a birthday."
"That's enough, it's good that your old friend can come." Old Mr. Wen said.
Seeing this, Wen Yanfeng accepted the ink scroll instead of his father.
Mo Tan looked around, and his piercing eyes suddenly focused on Shi Yunnan, "Who is this?"
"Old..." Shi Yunnan's word 'teacher' got stuck in his throat, and he just called out in a regular manner, "Mr. Mo, I'm Shi Yunnan."
Mo Tan recognized his appearance, and immediately put on a surprised face, "Yunnan? Let the teacher see, it's been almost 20 years since we last met, right? He looks so handsome!"
Mo Qin patted Shi Yunnan on the shoulder, and said to Mr. Wen as if speaking to everyone, "Yunnan is one of the most outstanding students I have ever met in this industry."
"This kid's talent back then, even I have to give a thumbs up."
"..."
Mo Tan is known for his straightforwardness in the industry, and he has achieved this to the extreme after getting older.
In his mouth, good is good, bad is bad, and he never tells a lie.
At this moment, not only did he have an impression of Shi Yunnan back then, but he was able to boast in public as soon as he met, obviously he liked and remembered this student from the bottom of his heart.
When Wen Chenglang on the side heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He finally felt that Shi Yunnan was going to lose face in front of everyone, but as soon as the old man came, he praised Shi Yunnan to the sky with a few words.
I bother!
So what if the talent was outstanding back then?Isn't it that you can't even hold the bow now?
Some guests noticed Wen Chenglang's subtle reaction, and asked with a mentality that watching the excitement is no big deal, "Mr. Mo, if I remember correctly, Third Young Master Wen also stayed under your door for a while?"
Wen Chenglang took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a little more uneasy.
Compared with Shi Yunnan's excellence that attracted Mo Tan back then, he was able to learn the piano under Mo Tan's hands only because Song Zhiqiu showed Mr. Wen's face, and the other party had to accept it.
And within three months, Wen Chenglang was persuaded by Mo Qin to quit.
In the next second, a guest answered, "Which one of the students brought out by Mr. Mo is one of the best? Didn't you just say that Young Master Wen San is about to be shortlisted as a new member of the Huaguo Violin Association?"
"...This is also one of the most powerful!"
Wen Chenglang's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and when he met Mo Tan's gaze, he suddenly felt guilty.
You know, Mo Qin is the chairman of the Huaguo Violin Association, and he is one of the core judges in charge of this selection.
"Cheng Lang, you haven't received the notification from the association yet? You..."
The results of the preliminary examination for the shortlisted selection have come out, and Wen Chenglang was not selected. As the person involved, he should know this news all too well.
Mo Qin's doubts only stayed for two or three seconds, as if he understood something, his eyes were full of disapproval, but after all, he did not tear down Wen Chenglang's stage in public.
"Old Wen, I didn't say that."
Mo Tan turned his eyes back to Mr. Wen's face, and whispered his heartfelt advice, "Good music under the sun cannot tolerate deceit, and so does being a human being."
"..."
As soon as these words are spoken, everyone who understands them will understand.
Mr. Mo didn't expose Wen Chenglang's lie in public because of Mr. Wen's face, but the instructions that followed were more punitive than exposing Wen Chenglang in public.
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng looked at each other, then bent down, "Luo Lingsheng, do you see that? You must be self-aware, so as not to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone."
Luo Lingsheng saw the undisguised schadenfreude in his eyes, and responded, "Well, he is not as good as you."
At first, Shi Yunnan just wanted to complain about Wen Chenglang, but he didn't expect to be praised by Luo Lingsheng for no reason. The corners of his mouth curled up, not to mention how good he was.
Mr. Wen and Wen Yanfeng glanced at each other, unable to hide their disappointment with Wen Chenglang, but they both hid their thoughts well.
Facing the eyes of everyone in the audience, Wen Chenglang's mind was buzzing, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and go straight down.
You know, he has reserved room for himself - he only said that he has a chance, but he may not be selected as a new member, just to save himself in the future.
The results of it?
As soon as Mo Qin came, he demolished him!Invisibly, it was disassembled for him steadily and accurately!
This old man!
Wen Chenglang was angry and regretful in his heart. If he knew that Mo Tan would come, he would definitely not say that in front of everyone.
Song Zhiqiu also knew that her son had lied, and the pride in her heart was completely relieved immediately, but she didn't want her son to lose to Shi Yunnan in front of everyone.
"Cheng Lang, since it's grandpa's birthday, as the eldest grandson, go up and play a song to cheer you up."
How could it be better before?Anyway, Shi Yunnan no longer knows how to play the violin.
As long as Wen Chenglang's performance later is good enough, who cares about those remarks?Strength is the hard indicator to attract attention.
Wen Chenglang has practiced the violin for more than ten years, although he has not been able to shine as well as Wen Yibei, but in the eyes of her mother, her son is definitely not bad!
Wen Chenglang thought about it, and had no choice but to agree.
If he turns his face away at this moment, it will only make his situation more embarrassing.
Wen Chenglang played on the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone. For Mr. Wen's birthday banquet, he also practiced the piano music up and down, just to not lose too much to Wen Yibei.
It's a pity that he was still restless and made several wrong sounds at the beginning.
Such a mistake is too obvious.
Not to mention the guests who have been soaking in the music all year round, even Qin Jian and Yuan Meng could hear the flaws.
The whole audience gave Mr. Wen enough face, everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter, but they all sighed in their hearts——
Whether it is beautiful jade or broken porcelain, you can tell with a diamond test.
It's just a pity that Shi Yunnan didn't continue his violin career, otherwise, with his talent back then, he would definitely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with his brother.
Instead of just talking big words like Wen Chenglang!
……
At 04:30 in the afternoon, the guests in the banquet hall slowly dispersed.
Shi Yunnan accompanied Luo Lingsheng back to the private room, sighed softly and sat on the sofa, "I'm tired."
"According to Mr. Wen, there will be a dinner later?"
"It's a family banquet. I heard from my brother that Second Aunt and his family can only come here at night." Shi Yunnan explained.
Mr. Wen has three children under his knees, the eldest son Wen Yanfeng, the second daughter Wen Xiu, and the third daughter Wen Min.
Wen Xiu was married to a woodcarver from other provinces in the early years, and now she lives very happily and contentedly. She even had a little grandson last month. She just wanted to take this opportunity to bring Mr. Wen, the "grandfather" look.
"so many people?"
There was a hint of surprise in the corner of Luo Lingsheng's eyes.
Shi Yunnan captured it accurately, leaned forward and said, "If you don't feel comfortable, you can actually go back to Luo's directly, it's okay."
Originally, he wanted to bring Luo Lingsheng to meet old Mr. Wen so that they could let each other know.
As for the next family banquet, it was indeed too close in terms of distance, and the relationship between the two was still on the 'contract marriage', Shi Yunnan didn't want to embarrass him.
"No." Luo Lingsheng replied.
Since he had already promised Wen Yanfeng, he would not run away.The most important thing is that he had almost no communication with Mr. Wen at the banquet just now, and he still hasn't fully understood his thoughts on this elder.
Seeing that Luo Lingsheng planned to stay, Shi Yunnan unconsciously revealed a burst of joy in his heart, as if he really had a subtle feeling of 'introducing your husband to relatives'.
Taking advantage of the absence of outsiders in the private room, he couldn't help but clenched the arms on both sides of the wheelchair and leaned forward, "Luo Lingsheng, are you nervous?"
"nervous?"
Shi Yunnan gave an 'hmm' and said, "For me, the Wen family only has grandpa, uncle and my brother to care about. The latter two should have no objection to you, so only grandpa's attitude is not clear."
Shi Yunnan said this for Luo Lingsheng, more like he said it for himself.
Luo Lingsheng's heart was focused, and he asked, "Are you afraid that Mr. Wen will have opinions on me?"
"Not afraid."
Shi Yunnan shook his head, and moved closer, "I just want to tell you that no matter how grandpa treats you, I will unconditionally favor you."
From agreeing to get married to being moved with sincerity, Luo Lingsheng is the person he likes.
Shi Yunnan hoped that the only three family members he cared about would like Luo Lingsheng. Of course, even if the family really didn't like him, he would not change his inner choice.
——I am unconditionally partial to you.
Luo Lingsheng pondered over these words silently, raised his lips slightly, "Got it."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Jian's voice came, "Patriarch, the group has an urgent document that requires you to review it and sign it electronically."
Shi Yunnan moved back, Luo Lingsheng said at the same time, "Come in."
In fact, Tuesday was scheduled to be very busy, but Luo Lingsheng spared four hours for Shi Yunnan's words.
Now there is an extra dinner temporarily, which has caused the accumulation of urgent affairs.
Qin Jian pushed the door open and passed the electronic version of the report to Luo Lingsheng.
Shi Yunnan glanced at the time, "I'm going out for a walk, so I won't disturb you."
"Up to 15 minutes." Luo Lingsheng gave the time succinctly, "I'll find you when I'm done."
"it is good."
Shi Yunnan curled his lips, and simply left the quiet private room to them.
Not long after he went out, he ran into Wen Yibei who was looking for someone, "Yunnan, why are you alone? Where's Mr. Luo?"
"The family banquet is on the sixth floor. The guests are almost gone. You can go down first at any time."
"Don't worry, he has some business to deal with."
Hearing this, Wen Yibei nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The two brothers walked side by side into the side corridor, when they approached the corner, they suddenly heard a low-pitched curse.
"Damn it, I've seen the devil. Every time I meet Shi Yunnan, nothing good will happen! I am ashamed today!"
"Did you see his gloating expression just now? If it wasn't for my grandpa's face, I would have punched him."
When Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei heard this, they stopped at the same time - the owner of this voice was Wen Chenglang.
"Brother Lang, don't be upset, what's the big deal, go to the bar to drink at night, and get a few more beautiful girls?"
"No, there will be a shit family dinner later. It's not like you don't know about my mother's competitive nature. I didn't know what kind of cramp I had since I was a child. I'm afraid that the two brothers will take my position."
"If I don't go tonight, she can directly debit my bank card, so where will the young master go in the future?"
"Then I'll go first?"
"Ah."
Wen Chenglang responded, as if he still felt that the aggrieved energy in his heart had not been vented enough, and continued to curse in a low voice, "Shi Yunnan, a bastard, is he called worthless?"
"With a mother but no mother, the Shi family can't get along anymore, and now they find a disabled person to live, I..."
The cursing stopped abruptly.
Wen Chenglang faced the two figures of Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei, and almost choked.
Probably because of insulting behind his back, he was caught by the righteous master, and Wen Chenglang's face soon became pale, and he shouted outrightly but confidently.
"What's wrong with you two brothers? Hiding here and listening to the corner?"
Wen Yibei looked at the person next to Wen Chenglang, as expected, it was the strange young man who just asked him to play the violin at the banquet.
From now on, it seems that this person is Wen Chenglang's good friend. The two of them sang together just now, trying to embarrass Shi Yunnan in front of the guests.
At this moment, Shi Yunnan's eyes had completely darkened.
He could barely endure other things at Mr. Wen's birthday banquet.But Wen Chenglang scolded 'Luo Lingsheng is a disabled person', he couldn't stand it!
"Wen Chenglang."
Shi Yunnan's right hand fingers twirled around and then clenched into a fist, his eyes were so cold that they could kill someone.
Wen Chenglang was horrified by his cold gaze, and unconsciously took a step back, "Shi Yunnan, you..."
"Yunnan, wait!"
At the same time, Wen Yibei also stopped Shi Yunnan's actions, "Today is Grandpa's birthday, don't let him have a second chance to make trouble with what happened back then."
"elder brother?"
Shi Yunnan's mind froze.
Seeing that the two brothers had a disagreement on this matter, Wen Chenglang immediately snorted and said, "That's right, it's Grandpa's birthday, and if you get mad at him for something, don't even think about it..."
"Just because I won't let Yun Nan hit you, doesn't mean I won't hit you!"
--boom!
Before Wen Chenglang could finish his words, he was stunned by Wen Yibei's sudden punch, and he took two steps back and fell into the arms of his companion.
Shi Yunnan was surprised, he didn't expect that Wen Yibei's hand that could only draw a bow would hit someone for the first time.
"Brother, you..."
"Don't worry about it." Wen Yibei stood in front of his younger brother.
His gentle and accustomed expression has now been dyed red with anger, and there is an uncontrollable tremor in his tone.
"Today is grandpa's birthday, so I will take care of it if something goes wrong! Don't you want to drag my brother into the water like you did back then!"
"Wen Chenglang, you apologize to me!"
Shi Yunnan met his gaze, and couldn't stop his proud glance, "That's needless to say? Who dares to have an opinion on the performance of cellist Wen?"
Wen Yibei let out a low laugh, and couldn't help but move back to his younger brother, "You,... you have too much filter on me, please keep a low profile for me."
"What are you low-key about? Your excellence is not a day or two away." Shi Yunnan replied.
Old Mr. Wen, who was close, heard the conversation between the two brothers, and said with a smile, "You two brothers are both excellent in the eyes of grandpa. Don't be afraid that these guests will listen to jokes!"
Mr. Wen knew that the two brothers had supported and encouraged each other over the years, and they had never had any conflicts.

Shi Yunnan didn't feel ashamed of such remarks.
Not to mention that he has harvested jewelry design, a field that can continue to shine, just on the violin——
Skills are not as good as people's skills are not as good as people's skills. He regretted giving up the violin at the beginning, but he also understands that the past cannot be recalled.
The most important thing is that Luo Lingsheng still likes the sound of his violin even if he is not as good as before, and that is enough.
As for this deliberately provoking Wen Chenglang, Mr. Wen doesn't want to care about his [-]th birthday for the time being, but once again, he can't guarantee where his fist will land.
In contrast to Shi Yunnan's calmness, Wen Yibei saw his younger brother being baptized by such gazes, and suddenly felt an unknown anger towards the perpetrator.
Just as he was about to speak, there was another commotion outside the crowd——
"Teacher Mo Qin is here!"
"Hello, Mr. Mo."
The crowd automatically bypassed a side path, revealing the figure of the person who came out.
The man was wearing an iron gray suit, his beard and hair were graying, but he looked hale and hearty.
Shi Yunnan recognized the other party, and murmured, "...Teacher."
Luo Ling whispered, "Teacher?"
Shi Yunnan bent down and explained, "Mo Qin, the most outstanding violinist in China."
When Mo Qin was young, he was the first Chinese violinist to win an important international award, which shows his identity.
"I won the first prize in the competition back then. Mr. Mo took the initiative to take me under his tutelage for a while, but it's a pity..."
It's a pity that Wen Min died suddenly unexpectedly, and the teacher-student relationship between the two was also forced to end, and it took only two months.
Mo Qin walked straight to Mr. Wen with a roll of paper and ink, and congratulated Mr. Wen, "Old birthday star, I wish the sun and the moon a prosperous future, and Songhe Changchun!"
"I still have to go to other provinces to attend a seminar. If I drive to this area in a temporary car, I can still catch up to wish you a birthday."
"That's enough, it's good that your old friend can come." Old Mr. Wen said.
Seeing this, Wen Yanfeng accepted the ink scroll instead of his father.
Mo Tan looked around, and his piercing eyes suddenly focused on Shi Yunnan, "Who is this?"
"Old..." Shi Yunnan's word 'teacher' got stuck in his throat, and he just called out in a regular manner, "Mr. Mo, I'm Shi Yunnan."
Mo Tan recognized his appearance, and immediately put on a surprised face, "Yunnan? Let the teacher see, it's been almost 20 years since we last met, right? He looks so handsome!"
Mo Qin patted Shi Yunnan on the shoulder, and said to Mr. Wen as if speaking to everyone, "Yunnan is one of the most outstanding students I have ever met in this industry."
"This kid's talent back then, even I have to give a thumbs up."
"..."
Mo Tan is known for his straightforwardness in the industry, and he has achieved this to the extreme after getting older.
In his mouth, good is good, bad is bad, and he never tells a lie.
At this moment, not only did he have an impression of Shi Yunnan back then, but he was able to boast in public as soon as he met, obviously he liked and remembered this student from the bottom of his heart.
When Wen Chenglang on the side heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He finally felt that Shi Yunnan was going to lose face in front of everyone, but as soon as the old man came, he praised Shi Yunnan to the sky with a few words.
I bother!
So what if the talent was outstanding back then?Isn't it that you can't even hold the bow now?
Some guests noticed Wen Chenglang's subtle reaction, and asked with a mentality that watching the excitement is no big deal, "Mr. Mo, if I remember correctly, Third Young Master Wen also stayed under your door for a while?"
Wen Chenglang took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a little more uneasy.
Compared with Shi Yunnan's excellence that attracted Mo Tan back then, he was able to learn the piano under Mo Tan's hands only because Song Zhiqiu showed Mr. Wen's face, and the other party had to accept it.
And within three months, Wen Chenglang was persuaded by Mo Qin to quit.
In the next second, a guest answered, "Which one of the students brought out by Mr. Mo is one of the best? Didn't you just say that Young Master Wen San is about to be shortlisted as a new member of the Huaguo Violin Association?"
"...This is also one of the most powerful!"
Wen Chenglang's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and when he met Mo Tan's gaze, he suddenly felt guilty.
You know, Mo Qin is the chairman of the Huaguo Violin Association, and he is one of the core judges in charge of this selection.
"Cheng Lang, you haven't received the notification from the association yet? You..."
The results of the preliminary examination for the shortlisted selection have come out, and Wen Chenglang was not selected. As the person involved, he should know this news all too well.
Mo Qin's doubts only stayed for two or three seconds, as if he understood something, his eyes were full of disapproval, but after all, he did not tear down Wen Chenglang's stage in public.
"Old Wen, I didn't say that."
Mo Tan turned his eyes back to Mr. Wen's face, and whispered his heartfelt advice, "Good music under the sun cannot tolerate deceit, and so does being a human being."
"..."
As soon as these words are spoken, everyone who understands them will understand.
Mr. Mo didn't expose Wen Chenglang's lie in public because of Mr. Wen's face, but the instructions that followed were more punitive than exposing Wen Chenglang in public.
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng looked at each other, then bent down, "Luo Lingsheng, do you see that? You must be self-aware, so as not to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone."
Luo Lingsheng saw the undisguised schadenfreude in his eyes, and responded, "Well, he is not as good as you."
At first, Shi Yunnan just wanted to complain about Wen Chenglang, but he didn't expect to be praised by Luo Lingsheng for no reason. The corners of his mouth curled up, not to mention how good he was.
Mr. Wen and Wen Yanfeng glanced at each other, unable to hide their disappointment with Wen Chenglang, but they both hid their thoughts well.
Facing the eyes of everyone in the audience, Wen Chenglang's mind was buzzing, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and go straight down.
You know, he has reserved room for himself - he only said that he has a chance, but he may not be selected as a new member, just to save himself in the future.
The results of it?
As soon as Mo Qin came, he demolished him!Invisibly, it was disassembled for him steadily and accurately!
This old man!
Wen Chenglang was angry and regretful in his heart. If he knew that Mo Tan would come, he would definitely not say that in front of everyone.
Song Zhiqiu also knew that her son had lied, and the pride in her heart was completely relieved immediately, but she didn't want her son to lose to Shi Yunnan in front of everyone.
"Cheng Lang, since it's grandpa's birthday, as the eldest grandson, go up and play a song to cheer you up."
How could it be better before?Anyway, Shi Yunnan no longer knows how to play the violin.
As long as Wen Chenglang's performance later is good enough, who cares about those remarks?Strength is the hard indicator to attract attention.
Wen Chenglang has practiced the violin for more than ten years, although he has not been able to shine as well as Wen Yibei, but in the eyes of her mother, her son is definitely not bad!
Wen Chenglang thought about it, and had no choice but to agree.
If he turns his face away at this moment, it will only make his situation more embarrassing.
Wen Chenglang played on the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone. For Mr. Wen's birthday banquet, he also practiced the piano music up and down, just to not lose too much to Wen Yibei.
It's a pity that he was still restless and made several wrong sounds at the beginning.
Such a mistake is too obvious.
Not to mention the guests who have been soaking in the music all year round, even Qin Jian and Yuan Meng could hear the flaws.
The whole audience gave Mr. Wen enough face, everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter, but they all sighed in their hearts——
Whether it is beautiful jade or broken porcelain, you can tell with a diamond test.
It's just a pity that Shi Yunnan didn't continue his violin career, otherwise, with his talent back then, he would definitely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with his brother.
Instead of just talking big words like Wen Chenglang!
……
At 04:30 in the afternoon, the guests in the banquet hall slowly dispersed.
Shi Yunnan accompanied Luo Lingsheng back to the private room, sighed softly and sat on the sofa, "I'm tired."
"According to Mr. Wen, there will be a dinner later?"
"It's a family banquet. I heard from my brother that Second Aunt and his family can only come here at night." Shi Yunnan explained.
Mr. Wen has three children under his knees, the eldest son Wen Yanfeng, the second daughter Wen Xiu, and the third daughter Wen Min.
Wen Xiu was married to a woodcarver from other provinces in the early years, and now she lives very happily and contentedly. She even had a little grandson last month. She just wanted to take this opportunity to bring Mr. Wen, the "grandfather" look.
"so many people?"
There was a hint of surprise in the corner of Luo Lingsheng's eyes.
Shi Yunnan captured it accurately, leaned forward and said, "If you don't feel comfortable, you can actually go back to Luo's directly, it's okay."
Originally, he wanted to bring Luo Lingsheng to meet old Mr. Wen so that they could let each other know.
As for the next family banquet, it was indeed too close in terms of distance, and the relationship between the two was still on the 'contract marriage', Shi Yunnan didn't want to embarrass him.
"No." Luo Lingsheng replied.
Since he had already promised Wen Yanfeng, he would not run away.The most important thing is that he had almost no communication with Mr. Wen at the banquet just now, and he still hasn't fully understood his thoughts on this elder.
Seeing that Luo Lingsheng planned to stay, Shi Yunnan unconsciously revealed a burst of joy in his heart, as if he really had a subtle feeling of 'introducing your husband to relatives'.
Taking advantage of the absence of outsiders in the private room, he couldn't help but clenched the arms on both sides of the wheelchair and leaned forward, "Luo Lingsheng, are you nervous?"
"nervous?"
Shi Yunnan gave an 'hmm' and said, "For me, the Wen family only has grandpa, uncle and my brother to care about. The latter two should have no objection to you, so only grandpa's attitude is not clear."
Shi Yunnan said this for Luo Lingsheng, more like he said it for himself.
Luo Lingsheng's heart was focused, and he asked, "Are you afraid that Mr. Wen will have opinions on me?"
"Not afraid."
Shi Yunnan shook his head, and moved closer, "I just want to tell you that no matter how grandpa treats you, I will unconditionally favor you."
From agreeing to get married to being moved with sincerity, Luo Lingsheng is the person he likes.
Shi Yunnan hoped that the only three family members he cared about would like Luo Lingsheng. Of course, even if the family really didn't like him, he would not change his inner choice.
——I am unconditionally partial to you.
Luo Lingsheng pondered over these words silently, raised his lips slightly, "Got it."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Jian's voice came, "Patriarch, the group has an urgent document that requires you to review it and sign it electronically."
Shi Yunnan moved back, Luo Lingsheng said at the same time, "Come in."
In fact, Tuesday was scheduled to be very busy, but Luo Lingsheng spared four hours for Shi Yunnan's words.
Now there is an extra dinner temporarily, which has caused the accumulation of urgent affairs.
Qin Jian pushed the door open and passed the electronic version of the report to Luo Lingsheng.
Shi Yunnan glanced at the time, "I'm going out for a walk, so I won't disturb you."
"Up to 15 minutes." Luo Lingsheng gave the time succinctly, "I'll find you when I'm done."
"it is good."
Shi Yunnan curled his lips, and simply left the quiet private room to them.
Not long after he went out, he ran into Wen Yibei who was looking for someone, "Yunnan, why are you alone? Where's Mr. Luo?"
"The family banquet is on the sixth floor. The guests are almost gone. You can go down first at any time."
"Don't worry, he has some business to deal with."
Hearing this, Wen Yibei nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The two brothers walked side by side into the side corridor, when they approached the corner, they suddenly heard a low-pitched curse.
"Damn it, I've seen the devil. Every time I meet Shi Yunnan, nothing good will happen! I am ashamed today!"
"Did you see his gloating expression just now? If it wasn't for my grandpa's face, I would have punched him."
When Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei heard this, they stopped at the same time - the owner of this voice was Wen Chenglang.
"Brother Lang, don't be upset, what's the big deal, go to the bar to drink at night, and get a few more beautiful girls?"
"No, there will be a shit family dinner later. It's not like you don't know about my mother's competitive nature. I didn't know what kind of cramp I had since I was a child. I'm afraid that the two brothers will take my position."
"If I don't go tonight, she can directly debit my bank card, so where will the young master go in the future?"
"Then I'll go first?"
"Ah."
Wen Chenglang responded, as if he still felt that the aggrieved energy in his heart had not been vented enough, and continued to curse in a low voice, "Shi Yunnan, a bastard, is he called worthless?"
"With a mother but no mother, the Shi family can't get along anymore, and now they find a disabled person to live, I..."
The cursing stopped abruptly.
Wen Chenglang faced the two figures of Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei, and almost choked.
Probably because of insulting behind his back, he was caught by the righteous master, and Wen Chenglang's face soon became pale, and he shouted outrightly but confidently.
"What's wrong with you two brothers? Hiding here and listening to the corner?"
Wen Yibei looked at the person next to Wen Chenglang, as expected, it was the strange young man who just asked him to play the violin at the banquet.
From now on, it seems that this person is Wen Chenglang's good friend. The two of them sang together just now, trying to embarrass Shi Yunnan in front of the guests.
At this moment, Shi Yunnan's eyes had completely darkened.
He could barely endure other things at Mr. Wen's birthday banquet.But Wen Chenglang scolded 'Luo Lingsheng is a disabled person', he couldn't stand it!
"Wen Chenglang."
Shi Yunnan's right hand fingers twirled around and then clenched into a fist, his eyes were so cold that they could kill someone.
Wen Chenglang was horrified by his cold gaze, and unconsciously took a step back, "Shi Yunnan, you..."
"Yunnan, wait!"
At the same time, Wen Yibei also stopped Shi Yunnan's actions, "Today is Grandpa's birthday, don't let him have a second chance to make trouble with what happened back then."
"elder brother?"
Shi Yunnan's mind froze.
Seeing that the two brothers had a disagreement on this matter, Wen Chenglang immediately snorted and said, "That's right, it's Grandpa's birthday, and if you get mad at him for something, don't even think about it..."
"Just because I won't let Yun Nan hit you, doesn't mean I won't hit you!"
--boom!
Before Wen Chenglang could finish his words, he was stunned by Wen Yibei's sudden punch, and he took two steps back and fell into the arms of his companion.
Shi Yunnan was surprised, he didn't expect that Wen Yibei's hand that could only draw a bow would hit someone for the first time.
"Brother, you..."
"Don't worry about it." Wen Yibei stood in front of his younger brother.
His gentle and accustomed expression has now been dyed red with anger, and there is an uncontrollable tremor in his tone.
"Today is grandpa's birthday, so I will take care of it if something goes wrong! Don't you want to drag my brother into the water like you did back then!"
"Wen Chenglang, you apologize to me!"
