Song Shuying's hand, which was wiping her hair, paused for a moment, "Did you hit me?"

  Song Yuqiao nodded slightly.

  It's not just Song Shuying, Song Yuqiao himself is also a bit guilty. Because the divorce from Ye Zenan was not told to his mother, separated by a phone line, he didn't know what to say.

  However, Song Yuqiao knew that her sister Song Shuying was now likely to be even more nervous, because it was possible that Er Yi had already told their mother about Song Shuying's pregnancy.

  Song Shuying tossed the towel in her hand to one side, "You take it. Just say I'm taking a bath, don't mention anything else, I'm currently working at a securities company."

  Song Yuqiao nodded and organized his language before answering the phone.

  "Mom, it's me."

  Xī Měi Yù immediately recognized it was her younger daughter's voice and thought she had dialed the wrong number. After glancing at her phone screen, she asked: "Where's your sister?"

  Song Yuqiao repeated what Song Shuying had just said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, I'll pass it on to my sister."

  Xī Měi Yù asked: "What is your sister doing now?"

  Song Yuqiao said: "Nothing, still working at that securities company."

  Just saying this, let alone Xi Mei Yu, Song Yu Qiao himself found it hard to believe. Really don't know how sister can make up such an unreliable lie.

  Xīměi yù "ě" le yī shēng, "Wǒ zhīdào tā zài zhèngquàn gōngsī shàngbān ā, wǒ wèn nǐ jiě xiànzài zài gàn má?"

  Song Yuqiao: "......"

  Song Shuying rolled her eyes directly and really wanted to go forward and knock on her sister's head, was she blocked?

  "She is taking a bath."

  "I knew it, you two sisters are together to cheat me. One says she works in a securities company and the other says her marriage is happy and fulfilling, thinking I'm too far away to touch you two, right?"

  Xīměi yù really hit the nail on the head.

  "No. Mom, sister is really taking a bath, otherwise I would have given her phone from the bathroom?"

  In fact, as soon as the phone was connected, Song Yuqiao had already put it on speakerphone, and all of these words were heard by Song Shuying.

  "No need, I just called to tell you two that Yu Huan will be going back in a couple of days. You two sisters take good care of your little brother."

  "Oh."

  As soon as Song Yu hung up the phone, Song Shuying hooked her lips and picked up the towel to wipe her hair again. "Song Yuheng is going to come over as a spy for Mom again, maybe she already knows what's going on between us two. Second Aunt is a big mouth, now it's just letting Song Yuheng come over to explore first, you watch, in less than a week and a half, after she finishes handing over her work at the institute, she'll be coming too."

  Song Yuqiao didn't catch the underlying tone of Xi Mei Yu's words, but she was still very happy to think that her brother was coming back. She wondered if Song Yuhang had grown taller or become more mature.

  "Alright, you're just mom's good daughter, she feels most at ease with you."

  Song Yuqiao smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face.

  In fact, Song Yuqiao has always been a very obedient and well-behaved daughter. Xi Mei Yu has never worried about her second daughter because she is too obedient.

  But it's only the quiet, unobtrusive dog that bites. Only those who have always been obedient will suddenly rebel in an unexpected way, such as having the courage to give birth to a child alone.

  ………………

  The next morning, Song Yuqiao woke up early and turned to see that her sister, Song Shuying, was still asleep.

  It's really hard to be pregnant, Song Shuying got up twice at night, both times were supported by Song Yuqiao. A pregnant woman alone at home without anyone to help is truly a difficult thing.

  Song Yuqiao quietly went to wash up, then went to the kitchen to cook, specially making a few small dishes that her sister liked to eat, and also made pig liver congee to nourish blood and energy.

  Before leaving, Pei Si Xian went downstairs to get the car, Song Yu Qiao and Han Jin Yu exchanged a glance, calling out "Brother Han".

  Han Jinyu nodded, "I'll give it to Qiao."

  Song Yuqiao had already opened the door with one hand and heard Han Jinyu's cry, then turned back, "Huh?"

  "I bought a house on the east side, it was renovated two weeks ago. My sister and I are planning to move in two days later. The place is bigger, my sister's intention is to leave a room for you," said Han Jinyu, "You can go live there whenever you want."

  Song Yuqiao thought that her sister Song Shuying had no intention of moving out, otherwise she wouldn't have told herself about it yesterday. However, if Song Shuying and Han Ge moved out, they could vacate a room to let Lu Lu move in, and they would probably need some baby supplies, but Lu Lu's son was not sure if he had been brought back from the countryside yet.

  Song Yuqiao could see that Lu Lulu seemed to have had a tough time abroad in recent years, and the conclusion she and Hua Zhen came up with was that maybe it was because they had been living abroad for too long, so when they returned, they would feel uncomfortable.

  But it's really like what Hua Zhuan said, it's been many years since we last met, and when we meet again, it feels like everything has changed. Fortunately, good friends are still by my side.

  ………………

  In Jia Ge, today is the last recording session. In the backstage, Song Yuqiao saw Du Jiayin and went forward to greet her.

  She put on very delicate makeup today, it can be seen that she is dressing up with care. She wore a red skirt with fine workmanship and subtle floral patterns on it, high-waisted, making her whole figure look tall and slender.

  This skirt seems familiar to Song Yuqiao, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

  Lu Jingzhong was not by her side and should also be changing into performance attire backstage.

  Due to the tight schedule, Song Yuqiao was arranged to stay by Du Jiayin's side, mainly because of Jiayin and Lu Jingrong's two children.

  Under the noise of these two kids, Du Jiayin's makeup was a bit smudged. Song Yuqiao walked over to the ice cream and squatted down, "Don't keep bothering your mom, your mom is going on stage to perform soon."

  Behind her back, a soft and tender childlike voice said: "I've heard my mom play the piano, it sounds especially good."

  Song Yuqiao smiled and pulled Yan Yan over, gently pinching her soft little face, "Good kid."

  She was watching the two kids in the background while staring at the scene, Zheng Qing wasn't too busy either, since his promotion, he had a special assistant who could take care of everything for him.

  This time's recording still shows Zhang Menglin, and if the judges were to change places, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among the audience, so for this round's last episode, it was still her.

  However, she has obviously become very docile now. Even when looking at Song Yuqiao, there is jealousy in her eyes, but she doesn't dare to provoke her.

  It seems that this kind of person who can't even figure out who they are, like a clown, needs to be knocked around from time to time, and Zhang Menglin is just that kind of person.

  "Third sister-in-law."

  Liang Yi has been with Jia Ge recently, so it was easy for him to see Song Yuqiao. "Have you thought about it, Third Aunt?"

  Song Yuqiao suddenly thought of the last time, Liang Yi told her to call and ask about the decision, but Song Yuqiao didn't answer that phone call, and afterwards she didn't go back to it either.

  "I'm fine with anything, I've already asked your third brother, where do you guys want to go, you decide."

  Liang Yi looked very happy, with a smile that lit up his entire face, his lips red and teeth white like an underage student. It's really true, if you threw Liang Yi into a group of high school students, it's unlikely anyone would be able to pick him out.

  "Thank you, Third Aunt."

  The recording started, due to Lu Jing's identity, the recording sequence was to let Lu Jing go on stage first, and then start the competition of the singers, the rest were left to the editor.

  In the background, Du Jia-yin walked out of the dressing room and looked refreshed. On the other side, Lu Jing-chong had also changed into his performance attire, a black outfit similar to a tailored tuxedo that fit him perfectly, giving off an air of a stage king.

  Xuegao suddenly broke free from Song Yuqiao's hands and ran to hug Lu Jingzhong's legs, happily calling out "Daddy".

  On the other side, Liang Xiaoliu pouted, Snowy was indeed Lu Jingzhong's son, and he had sent gifts and bought delicious food, but none of them had captured this little guy's "heart", which made him a big man very frustrated.

  However, Yanyan, who was being held by Song Yuqiao's left hand, did not move and remained standing steadily, her bright eyes fixed on the front.

  It's no wonder that Pei Hangyu likes Yan so much, because this little girl seems to have a kind of magic power, Song Yuqiao really can't help but want her to grow up and be his daughter-in-law.

  Song Yuqiao was startled by his own idea, Pei Haoyu was only five and a half years old, he really was possessed.

  When Lu Jingzhong and Du Jiayin came on stage from the backstage, Song Yuqiao held one hand of a little kid and followed Liang Yi to the second floor's viewing platform, where they could see the situation on the stage below very clearly.

  The host reported with a very simple four words "The King Returns."

  For an instant, the stage went black.

  Then, on the pitch-black stage, a spotlight suddenly lit up and shone on Lu Jingzhong who was leaning against a white piano.

  However, Du Jiayin was nowhere to be seen on stage.

  There were screams from under the stage.

  Although it was recorded, when it was broadcast on TV, the audience for this concert had already snapped up all the tickets on the day Lu Jing reappeared on stage. The people sitting in the auditorium, although it had been three years, still gave him a warm welcome as their former king of heaven and song god.

  Lu Jingzhong smiled, "Thank you everyone for remembering me. Actually, this time I came here, at first it was just a friend's request, but now it's my own sincere intention, however, not for myself, but for another person."

  At this moment, there was not a sound from the audience, as if in the entire darkened broadcasting hall, there was only one beam of light, and only one Lu Jingzhong.

  "Everyone should know who this other person is in my mouth."

  Lu Jingzhong deliberately paused for a moment, and someone in the audience had already shouted out "Du Jiayin" in unison.

  If Song Yuqiao hadn't participated in some of the processes of this competition, she would have thought it was pre-arranged, but it was actually spontaneous, which shows the shocking force.

  Song Yuqiao's two little ones beside her also fell silent, Xuegao and Yanyan, both of their small heads were stuck to the glass of the second floor viewing platform, looking down at their dad in the middle of the stage.

  Lu Jingzhong continued: "Three years ago, I never thought that one day I would have the ability to make my loved ones appear by my side, not behind the scenes, but standing shoulder to shoulder with me, and give her everything she wants."

  "I remember, at my last concert, the one I loved most was standing behind the stage. She had always looked at me with admiring eyes, watching me, gazing at me. Once, I asked her and she told me that I was her idol. I also told her that she was my battlefield, but once, on this smoky battlefield, I became a deserter, I escaped for three years..."

  Song Yuqiao listened very carefully, and recently she has been easily moved to tears, especially when others show their true feelings. This is because she had once heard from Pei Si the story of Lu Xiaowu and Du Jiayin, and knew about the ups and downs between them. Now hearing these words again, she felt a strong emotional impact, as if her entire heart was trembling.

  Just then, on the second floor staircase, a small black head first appeared.

  Pei Haoyu's little friend, a pair of shiny black eyes, turned around twice and saw Qiaoqiao! And also Yanyan! Locked onto the target! Just about to move his feet, he was picked up by a big hand from behind.

  Pei Si Cheng directly grabbed his son's collar and threw him forward, "Don't sneak around like a thief."

  "You're the thief!" Pei Haoyu puffed out his cheeks, turned his head, let out a hum from his nose, and when he turned back around, he saw that Dad was already almost at Qiaoqiao's side.

  Pei Hangyu quickly chased after, but his little brain was in a dilemma. This time, should he go pull Qiaoqiao's hand or try to please Yanyan? It's so hard! Can't he have both Qiaoqiao and Yanyan?

  On the stage, Lu Jing's mouth was curved with a smile, but the photographer close to the stage could already see the tears flashing in his eyes. A man has tears and does not easily shed them, whether it was in the past or now.

  "......Finally, thank you, after seven years, I still love you, and you are still here."

  Lu Jingzhong turned around and made a welcoming gesture with his hand, "Now, I invite my only pianist Du Jiayin."

  Three years ago at a concert, Lu Jing said: "Now, please welcome my pianist."

  Due to some concerns, Lu Jingzhong didn't even mention Du Jiayin's name, but now, finally, he not only can say Du Jiayin's name, but also the entire audience can shout out Du Jiayin's name without any scruples.

  And in front of the pianist, "the only" was added.

  A spotlight shone on Du Jiayin, who was wearing a red skirt.

  Song Yuqiao suddenly thought, why did he find this red dress so familiar, because in the video tape Zheng Qing showed her, three years ago at the farewell concert, Du Jiayin was wearing a red dress just like this one.

  Red skirt, black clothes, and white piano, on the stage, three colors contrast especially bright.

  The piano sound flowing from Du Jia-yin's fingertips, Lu Jing-zhong's song with texture, seems to be a tight net, enveloping the entire broadcasting hall.

  "Distant place, you're in a distant place, dreams are blooming..."

  However, throughout the entire process, Du Jia-yin was just bowing her head and playing the piano, without raising her head to exchange a deep gaze with Lu Jing. It wasn't until the song ended and the applause from the audience lasted for a long time that Du Jia-yin raised her head, her face shining brightly, that Song Yu-qiao realized she had been silently crying with her head bowed.

  Song Yuqiao let out a breath of relief, took a step back, and suddenly stepped on someone's foot. She quickly turned around and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

  As it turned out, the one standing behind was actually Pei Si Cheng.

  "When did you arrive?"

  Perhaps even Song Yuqiao herself didn't realize that when she saw Pei Cheng standing behind her, her tone of voice became slightly coquettish, and there was a fleeting sparkle in her eyes.

  Pei Si Cheng directly stretched out his hand and used his fingertips to touch the moisture at the corner of Song Yu Qiao's eyes, "Cried?"

  Song Yu Qiao tilted her head, a playful smile spreading across her face, "I was slightly moved."

  Pei Si's eyes fluttered slightly, because Song Yuqiao's mouth was curved into a playful smile at this moment, just like when they first met in Vancouver. He directly wrapped his arms around Song Yuqiao's waist, "Then I've been searching for you for five years, don't you want to be a little moved?"

  "Of course, I've been moved all along," Song Yuqiao seemed to have really been influenced by the two people on stage. It's easy to fall in love but hard to stay together. He also stretched out his arm to hug Pei Si Cheng's neck and kissed him on the face. "You said, in these five years, you really haven't had any other women?"

  "Of course not, I've always only had you, I said it before, I only sleep with you."

  "All day saying some improper words." Song Yuqiao turned her face away, her eyes could see the lights on the stage above, colorful and bright, shining out a rainbow in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth had already begun to curve upwards.

  "I'm also only being naughty with you."

  It's true, when emotions run deep, it's not just women who can guard their chastity for the one they love.

  Just then, Pei Hao Yu, Pei Chi's little friend, also imitated his dad's actions and stood behind Yan Yan. Perfect timing, when Yan Yan turned around, he could hug her just like his dad hugged Qiao Qiao, and who knows, maybe even get a kiss.

  Mumu da.

  Unfortunately, Lu Yuanyan's little friend turned around and ran directly, directly knocking Pei Hangyu over.

  Pei Hangyu plopped down on the ground with a thud, and then, the person who had been knocked over by him, looked at Pei Hangyu with his head lowered, and ran away quickly.

  Bae Ho-young: “......”

  So, on the way home, Pei Hangyu and his little friends were extremely disappointed.

  When I heard Dad say that he would go back home to change his clothes and then head to Grandma's house tonight, I felt even more frustrated. "He wants to send me to Grandma's house again? No way!"

  Pei Si Cheng directly picked up his son and threw him into the car, "You have to go even if you don't want to."

  Pei Hangyu started to stomp his short legs behind the car, scrunched up his face like a bitter melon flower, narrowed his big eyes and even squeezed out tears. "Waaahhh, I won't go! You guys always dump me at grandma's house and then you all go out to have fun by yourselves! I don't want to go! Unless Qiaoqiao comes with me!"

  Song Yuqiao turned around, smiling at her son who was fidgeting in the back seat, "Yes, Auntie is going with you this time."

  This sentence is a magic pill, Pei Hangyu immediately stopped struggling, and his big eyes turned to stare at Song Yuqiao: "Really?"

  Song Yu nodded slightly, comforted the little guy, and turned to look at Pei Si Cheng who was driving beside her. His calm and steady face brought her a sense of security.

  Pei Si's eyes, shining with spirit, stared straight ahead at the windshield, one hand grasping the steering wheel, while his other hand reached out to grab Song Yuqiao's sweaty hand. "Don't be nervous, I'm here."

  "Hmm." Song Yuqiao nodded slightly.

  Pei Si Cheng held the steering wheel steadily in his hand. He hadn't told Song Yu Qiao, and maybe, possibly, Pei Yu Ling would go too.

  Throwing diamonds, and in one more day, the diamond will be useless ^_^
