At nine o'clock in the morning, Sheng Manru came to the musical instrument store to learn how to play the pipa.
An Ran's store manager's office has been transformed into a music classroom, but it still focuses on her comfort. It has all kinds of facilities, and there is also a partitioned lounge specially made for her lunch break.
Sheng Manru was amazed by the sunshine at nine o'clock in the morning, and couldn't help but sigh: "In the pedestrian street where land is at a premium, it is not easy to see the sunshine at this time! Store rent is definitely very expensive, you are really willing to do it."
An Ran's clear eyes flashed with embarrassment, and she explained: "I didn't rent it... I also work for others."
"You can work directly as a store manager while working? And this musical instrument store is named after you. It's safe and sound. What a blessing." Sheng Manru obviously didn't believe it. "Your husband is the big boss, right?"
An Ran stopped talking.
"Okay, let's get started." Seeing that An Ran didn't want to talk about this topic, Sheng Manru wisely stopped asking any more questions.
The two practiced pipa for an hour. An Ran found that Sheng Manru was quite savvy, so he praised her a few words, and the two ended the class.
Sheng Manru smiled and said: "I just sold a painting yesterday and I want to go shopping in the mall to celebrate. But I don't have anyone to accompany me. Can Teacher An come with me?"
An Ran raised the corners of her lips, somewhat curious: "What works have you painted? Can I go and see them?"
"Of course. You are the store manager. If you skip work in the middle of the day, no one would dare to check on you." Sheng Manru asked with a playful smile.
"My name as store manager is actually just a false one." An Ran told the truth: "Zhou Han handles all matters in the store."
"Then let's go." Sheng Manru turned around in an elegant manner, making An Ran a little curious about her background.
Sheng Manru is not a native of the imperial capital and speaks with a Hong Kong accent. She should be from the Hong Kong city.
As for the other person's detailed life background, the two had just met and it was inconvenient for them to talk in depth, so An Ran didn't ask much.
The two of them packed up, carried their bags and went downstairs chatting and laughing.
At this time, the front desk lady was receiving two female customers.
The two young women were dressed in luxurious clothes. They were fashionable and noble. They looked like two wealthy daughters.
"...Our Xuechun also knows classical music. She can play many instruments and is considered an expert. So your guzheng teacher must be above her! If you are not good at it,
Don't show it and make yourself look embarrassed!" One of the short-haired women spoke a little fast and had a domineering attitude.
The lady at the front desk kept a polite and official smile: "Our musical instrument teachers here all have professional teaching qualification certificates and are very accomplished in musical instruments. Please rest assured..."
At this time, An Ran and Sheng Manru had passed by the front desk, and she glanced at them casually.
An Ran never had to worry about the business in the store, and she had no intention of getting involved. This glance was just out of curiosity.
"An Ran!" Unexpectedly, one of the two young women recognized An Ran. She was a beautiful long-haired woman. She maintained a perfect and decent smile and greeted warmly: "An Ran, do you still remember me?
"
An Ran stopped and looked at the other person suspiciously. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Don't you know me?" The woman smiled like a flower and reminded her kindly: "I am Song Xuechun. We met last time at Aunt Liu's birthday party at the Mid-Levels Villa."
An Ran finally remembered who Song Xuechun was, but the memory was not pleasant.
The last time she attended Liu Meijun's birthday, the whole process was an uproar.
At Liu Meijun's birthday party, this Song Xuechun seemed to have been sitting next to Liu Meijun, playing the role of a good girl.
An Ran remembered that Liu Meijun liked Song Xuechun very much. And that day Liu Meijun suddenly refused to let herself call her mother in public, maybe because Song Xuechun was present.
It was just a brief encounter. If Song Xuechun had not announced her family status at this time, An Ran would not be able to remember what she looked like.
Unexpectedly, the other party could recognize him at a glance, which surprised An Ran.
"Well, it turns out to be Miss Song." An Ran's tone was quite polite, but there was no smile on her face.
"Xuechun, who is this girl?" Song Xuechun's female companion asked in an aggressive tone.
Song Xuechun maintained a perfect personality and introduced each other enthusiastically: "Yin Zhu, this is Miss An Ran; An Ran, this is my best friend Yin Zhu."
An Ran had no interest in Song Xuechun, let alone her best friend. She nodded reluctantly and said to Sheng Manru beside her: "Let's go."
"Hey, why is this person so rude!" Yin Zhu shouted loudly, "Xuechun, thank you for treating others with courtesy, they don't seem to take us into consideration at all!"
"She is brother Qingyu's woman..." Song Xuechun "quietly" told Yin Zhu in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. "It's natural to have a big temper."
Yin Zhu was obviously taken aback and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes showing shock.
Of course she had heard that Nie Qingyu had a new love interest that he loved recently, and that he also injured the eldest son of the Liang family. The recent Normandy race not only made Nie Qingyu famous in the racing circle, but also made him more famous.
More people got to know the women around him.
Among the rich and famous ladies in the upper class circle, there is no one who does not secretly have a crush on Nie Qingyu, the overlord of the business empire, and who does not secretly envy and envy the new love beside him.
Only then did Yin Zhu realize that An Ran was Nie Qingyu's new love.
Song Xuechun didn't expect Yin Zhu to be so useless. He usually kept talking and was fearless, but when he heard that An Ran was Nie Qingyu's woman, he became mute.
Seeing that An Ran was about to leave the musical instrument store, she quickly called out to him: "An Ran, are you here to choose an instrument or to learn an instrument?"
An Ran was almost reaching the door, but Song Xuechun was lingering behind her. She wanted to leave directly, but felt that doing so was rude.
After all, the other party looked very tutored, so she couldn't be compared to her.
"I am the teacher of this musical instrument store." An Ran had no choice but to stop and responded.
"Wow, you are also an instrument teacher!" Song Xuechun exclaimed and followed over. "Oh my God, that's amazing. An Ran, can you teach me the guzheng?"
An Ran didn't understand. She only met her once. Are they that familiar? "No, my courses are already fully booked."
Song Xuechun seemed to be shocked. She lowered her head sadly and whispered: "That's really... such a pity."
An Ran didn't feel any regrets, but because the other party was so reluctant to leave, she had to say politely: "We also have many musical instrument teachers here, you can choose whatever you want."
After saying that, she took Sheng Manru and left the musical instrument store.
Song Xuechun followed to the door and saw An Ran and the woman going to the three-frame gallery diagonally opposite.
"Xuechun, is this woman one of Master Nie's?" Yin Zhu walked over and asked in a low voice.
Song Xuechun couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard the cautious tone in her tone. However, she still maintained a perfect obedient character on the surface. "That's probably it."
"Oh my god!" Yin Zhu patted her heart and continued to whisper. "I almost offended her. Do you think she will file a complaint with Master Nie..."
Nie Qingyu dared to hit even the eldest young master of the Liang family for this woman, let alone others.
I heard that not only Liang Kai was beaten that day, but also Miao Sisi, a member of the Miao family, was almost maimed. One of his faces was swollen into a pig's head, and he became a laughing stock in the upper class circles. He has no face in the circle since then.
Mixed up.
A flash of anger flashed through Song Xuechun's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and continued to smile obediently: "Aunt Liu has always loved me as her own daughter, and brother Qingyu is my biological brother. What are you afraid of when I'm here?
.”
Only then did Yin Zhu come back to her senses and couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that the one who is most favored by Master Nie is not An Ran, but our little princess Xuechun!"
Song Xuechun said with a reserved smile, "Brother Qingyu just treats me as his sister, mainly because Aunt Liu loves me."
"Mrs. Liu is the first mistress of a wealthy family. She treats you like a daughter and says you are not a little princess!" Yin Zhu warmly hugged Song Xuechun and regarded her as her supporter. "Xuechun, if you can do it in the future,
If you accept Mrs. Liu as your godmother, don’t forget that we are best friends!"
Song Xuechun secretly sighed that this Yin Zhu was just a pig-headed person. She would recognize whatever she said. Wouldn't she be able to draw inferences from one instance? "An Ran is brother Qingyu's woman, why is she working as a musical instrument teacher here?"
"Yes!" Yin Zhu was reminded by her and felt something was wrong. "Does Master Nie not love her so much?"
