Today Xie Yuan was dressed very solemnly, his suit tailored appropriately, his tie was neatly tied, and Lu Meng walked into the VIP box of the Art Hall as he sat down.
The West Lake Longjing had been served on the table, and smoke was curling up from the cup.
Lu Meng took a sip of tea and said, “Watching ballet and drinking Longjing, you really know how to enjoy it.”
“I also prepared a soda, if you are not used to it, you can change it.”
“You drink the five-figure Longjing, and I drink five yuan soda, it seems like I am so impeccable in your eyes.”
“The realm of the rich is not to drink the five-figure Longjing.” Xie Yuan said calmly: “Instead, drink soda and Longjing as you like, just by your own heart.”
Lu Meng blinked and slapped Xie Yuan on the back: “Yes, you are indeed a person who has been in love with the real Miss Jin. This realm is different.”
These two were brothers in trouble who had shared the joys and sorrows together in the early years, and Lu Meng was also a rare friend of Xie Yuan, so when the two talked, there was no taboo.
They weren’t from a wealthy family like the Bu family, but the huge amount of capital they accumulated in just a few decades, made them have their present wealth empire.
They couldn’t bear the taste and attitude of the elder brother of the family, so they talked and chatted very sincerely, with the taste of hard work.
Lu Meng asked Xie Yuan: “Your daughter is going to perform today?”
“No, she is a substitute.”
“Ah!” Lu Meng’s eyes widened: “You specially booked a plane ticket to invite me from Haicheng to watch your daughter perform. And…she is just a substitute!”
“What’s wrong with being a substitute?”
Lu Meng looked dumbfounded: “No…the key is that she won’t perform, you invited me to see something.”
Xie Yuan said blankly: “Look at Swan Queen, you can just imagine her as my daughter.”
Lu Meng: “…”
Looked lonely.
Xie Yuan bowed his head and sent a message to Jiang Yu, asking her about her state and asking her not to be nervous, but Jiang Yu did not reply.
It was Assistant Xiao Liu who walked over and whispered a few words in his ear, and told him about the spare suit.
Xie Yuan frowned: “Is he here?”
“Well, it’s raining, maybe there was a traffic jam on the road.”
“Now they are in the same room?”
Assistant Xiao Liu nodded very gossipingly: “Well, the door is still closed.”
Xie Yuan slapped the teacup on the table again, slightly angrily: “Smelly boy.”
A few minutes later, Xie Yuan felt like sitting on pins and needles, so he got up to go backstage to take a look. Lu Meng stopped him: “The young couple are meeting behind closed doors. What are you going to join in the fun? The wattage is too big!”
Although Xie Yuan knew that he shouldn’t interfere too much, he just couldn’t sit still. The daughter he had finally recognized, had not had time to treasure her for a few more days, and she was about to be taken away by another man.
Xie Yuan just couldn’t swallow this breath.
He got down the VIP staircase and came to the first floor, but he heard a voice that he couldn’t be more familiar with–
“How come, this ticket is okay.”
“I didn’t buy it online, but a friend gave it to me.”
“Excuse me, please check again. This must be a ticket bought through a regular channel.”
Hearing this sound, Xie Yuan’s heart stopped beating.
He turned around and saw the shadow engraved in his memory at the entrance.
That was his unforgettable back view anyway!
“A Tan!”
Xie Yuan almost fell under his feet, staggered towards her, and hugged her tightly from behind: “A Tan! I missed you so much.”
However, he clearly heard the voice of the woman in his arms that took a breath.
The woman broke away from the man’s embrace, turned around, and looked at him in horror: “What are you doing?!”
Xie Yuan saw clearly that her facial features that did not belong to Bu Tanyan. Bu Tanyan’s eyes were very flavourful phoenix eyes, which looked particularly like classical beauties, while the woman in front of him had double eyelids, slightly inset, with well-defined facial features.
“You are…” He thought of the woman he saw at the “Wandering” bar that night: “Are you Liu Ye?”
“Mr. Xie?”
“Extremely sorry.” Xie Yuan knew that his behaviour just now was not just abrupt, but almost aggressive. He bowed to her ninety degrees and solemnly apologized: “I mistook you for my former lover, I’m sorry, I hope you will forgive me for being abrupt.”
Liu Ye was originally very angry, but seeing Xie Yuan’s sincere apology and seeing that it was not false, she waved her hand: “No, not a problem, forget it, it is common to have such mistakes.”
Xie Yuan saw that she was being stopped, and simply asked, “Did Ms. Liu encounter any trouble here?”
“You can just call me Liu Ye.” Liu Ye took the ticket stub in her hand and said, “This is the admission ticket my colleague gave me, but they said there was a problem with this ticket and I’m not allowed to enter.”
Seeing Xie Yuan’s arrival, the staff member, for fear of getting into trouble, quickly explained: “The QR code of this ticket cannot be scanned.”
Xie Yuan took the ticket stub in Liu Ye’s hand and looked at it and said, “That’s right, there is no problem with this ticket, but it’s not a seat in the hall. You should be in the VIP box on the second floor. I’ll take you there.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Please trust me.”
“Then, I’ll have to trouble Mr. Xie.”
“You can call me Xie Yuan.”
He took Liu Ye to the VIP channel on the second floor, but stunned all the staff and the spectators in line.
All of them knew that Xie Yuan, the diamond-level single president of Yuefang Group had never offered any kind of hospitality to any lady!
He calmly resolved Liu Ye’s embarrassment in front of everyone, and took her to the VIP box himself.
This was really a rare sight in Beicheng.
Xie Yuan took Liu Ye into the VIP box, and a staff member immediately came over, added a comfortable table and chair, and moved Lu Meng to the side to let Liu Ye and Xie Yuan sit together.
“Huh? Huh! What’s going on?” Lu Meng didn’t react at all. Why did Xie Yuan go to arrest his daughter and son-in-law, only to bring back a woman?
This woman…
The figure was pretty good.
Lu Meng still wanted to ask, but Xie Yuan gave him a look and he immediately stopped his conversation.
He took another sip of tea, watched the show in silence, and stopped asking questions to spoil the atmosphere.
“Liu Ye, what do you drink?”
Liu Ye said politely: “Anything is fine.”
Xie Yuan poured a cup of West Lake Longjing in a purple sand tea bowl and handed it to Liu Ye: “Taste this tea.”
Liu Ye just sniffed the tea, frowning her eyebrows slightly: “Sorry, Mr. Xie, I am not so used to drinking tea.”
“You don’t like tea either?”
“Well, I don’t like tea, I’m afraid of astringency and bitterness.”
Xie Yuan’s eyes changed slightly, and the hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly.
“Then I’ll change your drink, I guess you like it…like to drink cold soda, right?”
Liu Ye’s eyes were slightly surprised: “How did Mr. Xie know that I like soda?”
“Who doesn’t like soda.”
Xie Yuan smiled bitterly, and his thoughts seemed to be brought back to those youthful years.
Bu Tanyan was a soda fanatic. Every time she came to him, she held a bottle of Coca-Cola in her hand, as she sipped on a straw, and smiled at him while standing in the sun.
Xie Yuan always wanted her to quit soda, not only would she gain weight by drinking it, but also it was particularly unhealthy.
But Bu Tanyan loved to drink soda. She said that she was scolded by her grandmother for stealing soda when she was a child. Since then, the seeds had been planted. If she was not allowed to drink, she just wanted to drink it, all of it was secretly bought.
Xie Yuan said that she shouldn’t really drink soda, but she was a rebellious kid who hadn’t grown up yet.
“Yeah, I’m a kid so I like to drink soda, you have to care about me.”
Xie Yuan touched her bangs and smiled indulgently and said: “I don’t care about you, I’ll drink with you.”
“No, no, you should take care of me.” Bu Tanyan put her arms around his neck: “If you don’t care about me, no one may be able to control me.”
Later, Xie Yuan thought about it more than once, maybe he was really wrong and shouldn’t have indulged her. Perhaps, he should have refused at the beginning, and then many things would not have happened, and she would not have died.
But she…was she really dead?
Xie Yuan stared at the woman in front of him, and a little confusion appeared in his clear eyes.
“Liu Ye, do you like ballet too?”
“I can’t talk about liking too much.” Liu Ye said with a smile: “I know how to dance anyway, so I can make a living from it. The teachers in our hobby class said that I dance well, and I can win prizes every year.”
She laughed very sweetly and looked like she had a lively and sunny temperament, just like Bu Tanyan.
Xie Yuan’s heart gradually became active, and he felt more and more…that maybe A Tan was not dead yet, maybe the woman in front of him was…
“Liu Ye, you said you suffer from intermittent amnesia?”
“Ah, yes, I am very forgetful, and I often can’t remember things, such as where the key is, whether the door is locked or not.”
“You said you still have a child?”
“It should be, I remember it, but I seem to have lost him. I have been looking for him for years, but I haven’t found him. But I believe that if I see him, I should be able to recognize him. That kid is very smart. I still remember that every time the kindergarten evaluated the little red flowers, he could get all five.”
“It’s a daughter.”
Liu Ye shook her head and said with certainty: “It’s a son, he’s very smart. I remember he loves to play puzzles, and he can finish one in two hours.”
“Then what do you remember?”
“I still remember…one day it seemed that there were a lot of police officers at home. Since then, I have been in the hospital for a long time and have never seen my son again.”
“What about your husband?”
“Husband…” Liu Ye shook her head: “I don’t remember.”
At this time, the performance began, and Liu Ye stopped talking about herself and began to watch the performance seriously.
Lu Meng couldn’t help it anymore, winked at Xie Yuan, and walked out of the box.
Soon, Xie Yuan also followed.
“What’s the matter, old Xie, you looked at this girl, are you having a blind date here?”
Xie Yuan explained: “I doubt that A Tan is not dead.”
Hearing this, Lu Meng was stunned, and couldn’t help but shiver: “You…do you think that this woman is Bu Tanyan?”
“She also likes to drink Coke.”
“Don’t scare me, old Xie, you are thinking of your girlfriend, right? You ask on the street, nine out of ten like to drink Coke.”
Xie Yuan shook his head: “No, it’s not the same, she and A Tan are so alike.”
Not only the back, but also the feeling she gave him, exactly the same as Bu Tanyan.
Lu Meng questioned again: “Then how do you explain, she and Bu Tanyan look completely different.”
“Appearance can be changed. The current plastic surgery technology can completely transform a person into another person, but a person’s personality, habits, subconscious movements and even temperament will never change.”
These words of Xie Yuan were not so much to be told to Lu Meng… it was more like he was telling it to himself.
“Xie Yuan, don’t be stupid.” Lu Meng really couldn’t listen anymore: “For so many years, it’s enough, don’t be obsessed with it anymore. She is not Bu Tanyan.”
“Why is it impossible?” Xie Yuan looked at Lu Meng: “I don’t believe that A Tan is dead. If she hasn’t died and hasn’t come to me for so many years, there must be a reason for not being able to come. Maybe it’s amnesia, didn’t you listen to her, she suffers from amnesia, and she has forgotten her own child.”
Lu Meng was really stunned: “Okay, let’s not care if this woman is Bu Tanyan or not, what are you going to do now?”
Xie Yuan looked at the familiar figure of the woman in the box, and said in a deep voice, “I want to heal her.”
