"Wang Ma, accompany me to the music business, I'm going to buy a piano." Zhou Manzhen said decisively, a confident smile still hanging on her delicate face.
"Madam, I'm making your favorite tart right now. In ten minutes, the tart will be out of the oven. Can we wait a little while longer?" Wang Ma smiled and said, with her kind eyes.
Zhou Manzhen straightforwardly said, "Sure."
Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell rang in the living room. Wang Ma walked over to open the door.
"Come, come, move in." Shi Mingge strode forward with his long legs, his mouth still mumbling.
A few muscular men entered together, carrying large and small bags.
Zhou Manzhen blankly stood next to the sofa, watching as the few brawlers arranged the things in an orderly fashion.
"Wait... Wait, why did you bring so many things to my house? " Zhou Man pulled Shi Mingge, who was standing by the side, and asked in confusion.
Shi Mingge didn't hold back. He shrugged his shoulders, sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "This is your wedding present."
"If you have nothing to offer, then just take it. I won't take it, take it back." Zhou Manzhen muttered to herself in a low voice. She had a nagging feeling that Shi Mingge was harboring malicious intentions. Coming to her house in broad daylight to give her a wedding present, it definitely wasn't a good thing.
"You really have no conscience, now that you are married to Jin Beisheng, we are family after all. According to seniority, I am your big brother, come and listen." Shi Mingge leaned back comfortably on the sofa, not treating himself as an outsider at all. There was a trace of laziness in his roguish tone.
"Are you really here to give me a present?" Zhou Manzhu looked at the bags and boxes on the floor, they were all famous brands.
"Of course, these are all new winter models. They can't be bought in the country." Shi Mingge looked at the bag and shoes on the floor, and said lightly.
"If I can't buy it, I can't buy it. Take it back, I don't want it." After all, their relationship wasn't that good. Although the two of them were brothers, their current situation was no different from enemies.
"Zhou Manzhen, you're making me angry!" Shi Mingge glared at Zhou Manzhen and suddenly said with a serious tone.
Zhou Manzhen nervously pursed her lips and sat down. She smiled and said, "Alright, then tell me, what is your purpose in giving me these?"
Shi Mingge smiled in a boastful ma er and said with a light surprise, "What if I said it was to win the hearts of others?"
"I'm sorry, but you should take it back."
Shi Mingge's expression began to turn stiff, but in less than five seconds, it eased up a bit, "I was kidding. These are really gifts for your wedding. Thank you for being my father's personal doctor a while ago??" and take care of my illness."
He spoke with a bit of seriousness. Zhou Manzhen was half-believing and half-doubting. He narrowed his eyes doubtfully as he sized up Shi Mingge shrewdly.
"This is what I should do." Zhou Manzhen said humbly.
"There's nothing to accept, just accept it."
She suddenly thought of something. She pursed her lips and asked, "All the drugs should be taken regularly, you can't smoke, you can't drink, do you understand?"
Shi Mingge's complicated gaze suddenly turned somewhat gloomy. With a hint of patience, he said, "Someone like me, even if I die, no one will feel sorry for me. I don't deserve to die."
"Don't speak nonsense!" She really didn't like others to say such words. Living was a type of happiness, how many people expected to live one more day, but she didn't expect that Shi Mingge would live so lightly. This thought made her uneasy.
"Do you feel any heartache?" Shi Mingge stared at her with his bright eyes, putting away his usual playful smile and asked seriously.
"Don't ask such a hypothetical question, I won't answer." Zhou Manzhu frowned. He was not in a good mood when he was asked by Shi Mingge.
Shi Mingge lowered his head, a hint of disappointment flashed across his dark eyes, "I knew you wouldn't answer."
Zhou Manjing was silent. She raised her eyes and looked at Shi Mingge, who was standing in front of her. Shi Mingge's eyes were bright like the stars in the night sky, but he seemed to be a bit troubled and a bit depressed.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you free?" Take me to buy a piano." Zhou Manquan stood up. His red lips were slightly raised as he lightly smiled and said.
"Alright." Shi Mingge agreed. He had nothing better to do anyway.
Although he was the general manager of JS International, he did not have any substantive rights. Jin Beisheng would not hand over important matters to him, and his rights were not even as big as those of a director, so Shi Mingge spent all day doing nothing at JS International, strolling around, coming and going as he pleased, and leaving as and when he wanted.
"Then let's go." Zhou Manzhen led the way through the kitchen and shouted to Wang Ma who was busy inside, "Wang Ma, I'm going out to buy a piano."
"Eh, madam, do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, she has someone to accompany her." Shi Mingge smiled and answered for Zhou Manzhu.
Zhou Manzhu wore a pink down jacket. She walked to the hallway and put on her knee-high boots. Since her stomach wasn't big and she wasn't bloated, she decided she should hurry up and show off her beauty.
Shi Mingge swapped cars. A black Land Rover was parked in the yard. He opened the car door and invited Zhou Manzhu in.
As soon as he got on the car, Shi Mingge was afraid that Zhou would turn on the heater as soon as the car started.
"Which zither industry should I go to?" The Singer turned his face sideways as he took the wheel.
"You can do it." Zhou Man said indifferently as he fastened his seat belt.
"Why did you buy a piano?" Shi Mingge asked with a smile on his face, once again acting very naughty.
"Leave it as a decoration." Chou Man was joking. He thought back to the "Midsummer Night's Dream" incident.
After so many years, she had never thought that she would ever touch the piano again, but this year, she made an exception. Perhaps it was because there was still a throbbing in her heart, but she had never truly let go of Lin Xingyan, nor the music that she had loved for so many years.
"Preparing for the 'Midsummer Night's Dream' piano competition, right?" There was a trace of seriousness on Shi Mingge's sharp and clear face. That Weibo search was something he had asked for, including the comments about Zhou Manzhen from below. They were all from the troll army hired by Shi Mingge.
"Eh? How do you know? " Zhou Manzhen looked at him with a suspicious look in her eyes.
"I saw it on Weibo." Shi Mingge said expressionlessly as he continued to drive the car.
