On the side, Er Mazi quickly finished mopping the floor of the hall, throwing away the mop and quickly followed.
One advantage of the cleaners is that they can move around here as they please. If the cleaning is incomplete, they need to be cleaned. It would be troublesome if they have to show their identity everywhere.
Er Mazi followed Meng Yan into the performance hall. He wanted to see what Meng Yan was doing here today.
The performance hall in the institution is not large, but it is very exquisitely decorated. There is a grand piano on the antique performance stage. The first row of the auditorium under the performance hall is the piano teacher of each student, and those behind it are
Parents of all primary school students.
The welcoming lady brought Meng Yan into the performance hall and said goodbye politely before leaving. At this time, a young student on the stage had just finished talking about his own piece of music. After a burst of warm applause, it was Duo'er's turn to take the stage.
Duo'er obviously didn't notice Meng Yan. She was sitting on the stage wearing a white princess dress. She seemed a little nervous, but she still tried to calm down by taking deep breaths. She put her small hands on the piano and fumbled with the fingering techniques taught by the teacher.
, the focused and cute look makes people unable to help but smile.
There was another round of applause from the audience. The teachers and parents of other students applauded and encouraged Duoer. Meng Yan stood behind the performance hall and also applauded to encourage his daughter.
"Tch, I'm not your daughter. Why are you so excited?"
Meng Yan suddenly heard a sudden sarcasm in his ears. He turned around and saw that Er Mazi had stood next to Meng Yan at some point and was looking at him with a playful look on his face.
Er Mazi was a gangster in the market, and Duo'er was the apple of Meng Yan's eye. Naturally, it was impossible for Duo'er to meet such a person, so Er Mazi didn't know that the person on the stage was Meng Yan's daughter.
"Your daughter is still lying in the hospital, and she is still in the mood to watch other people's children play the piano. What do you want me to say? You are really heartless."
Meng Yan's ears automatically blocked Er Mazi's words.
Seeing Meng Yan remain calm, Er Mazi felt that he was asking for trouble. At this time, Duo'er's playing had already begun, so he simply turned his head and pretended to appreciate it.
The sound of the piano is melodious in the concert hall. Although Duo'er has only learned the piano for a few weeks, there are many soothing and simple piano songs. As long as you learn the fingering and practice diligently, it is not a problem to be able to play it in a few weeks.
The clear and coherent sound of the piano made many people in the hall intoxicated. At this time, Er Mazi couldn't help but say.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this girl is really nice and pretty. I don't know whose baby she is. It would be great if she could become mine."
"If I had such a daughter, how could I let her learn piano or even study?"
"A woman should obey the three virtues. If I were to keep her at home, she would serve me for the rest of her life!"
Meng Yan couldn't hold back when he heard this. What kind of speech was made by the nobles of the ancient Xia Kingdom?
A feeling of complete disgust for this person arises from deep within.
"What disgusting things are you talking about?" Meng Yan responded sternly: "It's a good thing that a girl is willing to follow you. I don't know what kind of punishment the child will have to suffer when it is born."
"What does it have to do with you when I talk about other people's daughters?" Meng Yan's rebuke clearly hit him where it hurts.
"That's what I thought, do you care?" Er Mazi counterattacked.
Meng Yan didn't want to talk nonsense with this person anymore. If Er Mazi looked down on him before, he could still ignore it.
But Meng Yan would never agree to his daughter learning piano here and having such a disgusting person staying here.
Er Mazi looked at the lovely Duo'er sitting on the piano, her eyes shining brightly.
The landlady here comes to pick up this girl every day. She must be the landlady's daughter.
If he could kidnap her and blackmail her, he could pay off his gambling debt!
Meng Yan noticed a strange light in Er Mazi's eyes, and a chill rose from his back.
We must discuss this matter with Tang Yuyan and fire this guy!
After a while, the piano performance ended, and melodious applause broke out from the audience.
Er Mazi seemed to have thought of something, slapped his head, and ran out the door in a hurry.
Duo'er walked off the stage, and several piano teachers walked up to her and patted her head affectionately. They lowered their heads and seemed to discuss a few words with her, and then recorded Duo'er's results in their notebooks.
Amid the applause of the crowd, Duo'er looked left and right, and suddenly spotted Meng Yan standing in the corner.
The little princess's eyes lit up, she threw away everyone, and ran towards Meng Yan happily.
"dad!"
Seeing Duo'er's innocent smile, Meng Yan felt that his heart almost melted, and he immediately opened his arms and raised his feet to greet her.
But after taking just a few steps, he was suddenly stopped by a figure, blocking his way.
Er Mazi stepped in front of Meng Yan, took Duo'er's schoolbag that was stored outside, and handed it to Duo'er.
Er Mazi's eyes shone brightly, he knelt down slightly and looked at Duo'er with a lewd smile.
"Ah, thank you...thank you, uncle." Duo'er obviously knew Er Mazi, and took the schoolbag from his hand with a somewhat embarrassed look, but as soon as she touched Er Mazi's hand, he grabbed it.
Regardless of the strange looks from the people present, Er Mazi pinched Duo'er's little hand with both hands and rubbed it vigorously.
"Uncle, let go, Duo'er's hand hurts from being pinched." A trace of pain appeared on Duo'er's face.
As if Er Mazi didn't hear anything, he stretched out his other hand to touch Duo'er's head to estimate her height and to know how big a sack could fit the girl.
"Who are you? Let go!" A male teacher behind Duo'er shouted, raising his feet and preparing to step forward to pull Er Mazi away from Duo'er.
However, before the male teacher could step forward, a figure flashed past, and Meng Yan ran up and kicked Er Mazi to the ground.
"Go away, don't touch my Duo'er!" Meng Yan held Duo'er in his arms and angrily stared at Er Mazi who fell on the ground and roared.
Faced with what happened suddenly, the current parents immediately stood up, protected their children, and stepped aside to look at the two people.
"Meng, what are you doing?!" Er Mazi covered his waist and stood up from the ground in pain.
Meng Yan knelt down and looked at Duo'er, and asked with concern: "Duo'er, are you injured anywhere?"
Duo'er shook her head, hugged Meng Yan's arms, pointed at Er Mazi beside her and said, "Dad, this uncle has been staring at Duo'er with strange eyes the past few days."
"Every day when I come home from school, I pass my school bag to Duo'er. Sometimes I touch Duo'er's hand suddenly, and sometimes I pinch Duo'er's waist, as if I'm counting something. It causes Duo'er a lot of pain."
At this time, Er Mazi stood up unsteadily. Hearing Duo'er's name to Meng Yan, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly and looked at Meng Yan in surprise.
"Are you her father?" Er Mazi asked.
"Isn't your daughter still lying in the hospital? She should be half dead."
"Dad collected the medical expenses for me, and Duo'er's illness has been cured!"
