When the song ended, Wei Nian, Wei Yin and Qin Shu all left the stage to rest.
Qin Shu also said, "Second sister-in-law, didn't you go down to dance?"
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Someone invited me, but I'm not very experienced, so I didn't feel comfortable going."
Wei Yin said, "This is easy. Sister-in-law, since you are here, you can dance with brother and I will find another partner."
Chen Xuan hurriedly stopped her, "That's not possible. We don't know them, how can we dance together?" She also whispered to Qin Shu, making him more cautious. Qin Shu smiled, "Everyone comes here to dance, sister-in-law, this is nothing. In Shanghai, if a lady or a girl can't dance, everyone will think it's strange. After all, there are often dances when going out for social events, and every gentleman will bring his wife with him."
After hearing what Qin Shu said, Chen Xuan also felt that it would be bad if others could do it but she couldn't. Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a try later."
Qin Shu and Wei Yin both agreed.
Qin Shu and Wei Yin were both good-looking and knew how to dress up, so when the next dance started, a young man came over to ask them to dance. Originally, Chen Xuan saw Wei Yin, who didn't know how to dance, learn it after one dance, so she thought it was easy. In the end, she almost broke Wei Nian's toes before she could barely learn it.
Chen Xuan felt really bad about it, but Wei Nian had an idea in mind, so he didn't mention his foot pain, and said to Chen Xuan, "You need to practice more often."
Because they were with Wei Yin and Qin Shu, they couldn't stay too late. Even Miss Shao would not stay until late. Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Nian said something to Miss Shao, and Miss Shao said, "That's great, I'll come with you." Before leaving, she took out a lipstick from her handbag and touched up her makeup.
Miss Shao had her own driver, and they parted at the entrance of Beijing Hotel. After Miss Shao got in the car, Wei Nian and the other three also got in the rented car, first sending Wei Yin home, and then returning to Wangfucang Hutong.
After returning home, Wei Nian did not change his clothes, and wanted to hug Chen Xuan to practice again. Chen Xuan first closed the curtains and pushed Wei Nian away, "Don't you see that other dance halls have music? I can't step to the right time even with music, and I can't step to the right time even without music."
Wei Nian pulled her hand and said, "Just put the same precision you use when stepping on my feet into stepping on the rhythm, and it will be fine."
Chen Xuan was also a little embarrassed and asked Wei Nian, "Did it hurt you, Brother Nian?"
"It's okay. If you don't step on me and step on others, I will be unhappy."
"I won't dance with anyone else. This kind of Western dance is too close. Oh, you can't tell the old lady that Yin danced with another boy. If she knew, she would be furious."
"Who will tell the old lady?"
Chen Xuan asked, "Brother Anian, who did you learn dancing from?"
"I used to go to a dance hall with Cheng Su. We were still young at that time. We were like bumpkins and didn't know how to dance. We drank a glass of wine at three yuan each and even asked an elderly mother to flirt with us." Wei Nian laughed when he talked about the embarrassing things in the past. "I thought, I can't be ignorant of everything. Cheng Su and I paid five yuan each and spent ten yuan to hire a White Russian teacher to learn. In fact, when it comes to dancing, you can do everything once you get the hang of it. If you want to learn, I'll teach you tomorrow."
"I'll just learn something simple. I won't be going to the dance hall often anyway." Chen Xuan thought clearly, "I still have to focus on study and business. The drinks at the Beijing Hotel are also very expensive. Wine costs five yuan a glass. I'll just broaden my horizons this time."
Wei Nian didn't say much. Chen Xuan came in to fetch water for him to wash up, and told Wei Nian about Ms. Chen's proposal.
Wei Nian said quietly to Chen Xuan, "I think that corny sign was built by Mr. Rong for Ms. Chen when he was a love saint."
Chen Xuan, "What's going on? Ms. Chen told me about this specifically and said she doesn't want any agency fees."
"It's not our turn to worry about this. I'll write a letter to Mr. Rong and let him make his own decision. Daxingsheng is a famous store in Beijing anyway. It's good for Siqing to move into Daxingsheng, but it's not a must." Wei Nian gloated, "I didn't expect that Mr. Rong was so infatuated when he was young."
"Is infatuation bad?"
"It's not that being infatuated is bad, it's that being infatuated with the wrong person." Wei Nian said, "This Ms. Chen is also funny. Since she broke off the engagement in the first place, she should have done it cleanly. If she wants to come back now, it depends on whether both parties can come back. If Mr. Rong was interested, Ms. Chen would not be in the situation now? It's not a good idea for her to keep getting entangled by relying on the past relationship."
Chen Xuan sighed, "Ms. Chen's own conditions are also very good. Since Mr. Rong is unwilling, if she wants to get married, why not make other plans?"
"But among the men she has met now, how many can compare to Rong Yang?" Wei Nian was speechless when he thought of Rong Yang's four-word telegram, which was very much to my liking! It also shows Rong Yang's momentum! Wei Nian was fair and admired Rong Yang's talent. Therefore, even though he felt a little uncomfortable, Wei Nian's words showed enough respect for Rong Yang.
Chen Xuan shook her head, not understanding Ms. Chen's heart.
It is said that this is a new era, an era of gender equality, where women can earn a living for themselves. With Ms. Chen's talent of studying abroad, why is she staring at Mr. Rong unwilling to let go? Even though Chen Xuan has always respected Rong Yang as a teacher, Chen Xuan privately thinks that Ms. Chen's behavior is actually not worth it. Everyone is an independent person. Ms. Chen should concentrate on walking her own path. Isn't it better to walk her own path well? At least, she will not become a person that people feel pity for. Ms. Chen's current situation is a bit pathetic, even Chen Xuan feels.
Although the dance party delayed her for some time, Chen Xuan washed up and took out her book to study for an hour before going to bed. Wei Nian was influenced by Chen Xuan, mainly because Chen Xuan was so hardworking that Wei Nian couldn't sleep either, so he followed her to read. After removing the small kang table, the two spread out the bedding, and Wei Nian wrapped himself in the quilt and moved closer to Chen Xuan, "I think if I continue to study like this, I don't know if I can really get into college one day."
"Of course it's true. How could it be false? We work so hard just to go to college, get a master's degree, and a doctorate." Chen Xuan's eyes sparkled even in the night. Chen Xuan said, "If I go to study abroad alone, won't you come with me, Brother Nian?"
"Then we must go together." Wei Shichang thought, "It won't just be the two of us, but also our daughter and son."
Chen Xuan's face was hot, and she hid her face in the quilt shyly. Then she put her dishonest hand into her quilt, but was slapped back by Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan said angrily, "If you don't behave, I will put the small kang table back."
Wei Nian sighed, leaned closer and said, "You really misunderstood me, Axuan, that was not what I meant just now, it was our son's idea."
Chen Xuan was so worried that she said, "Brother Anian, why are you so shameless?"
"It's not that I'm thick-skinned, Xuan'er, you don't have any thoughts about me? Didn't you really want to abuse Brother Anian before? Brother Anian is right next to you, why don't you make any move?"
Chen Xuan, "Aren't you sleepy yet? Don't you want to sleep?"
"Kiss before going to sleep."
Chen Xuan really couldn't stand Wei Nian's clinginess, so she had to kiss him, and then the two of them had to get close to each other before Wei Nian would stop making noise.
The next day, Wei Nian wrote a letter to Rong Yang. There was only one sentence in the letter: She said to my wife, you know, I was able to get the shop in Dong'an Market thanks to the help of Mr. Rong. Since Siqing is Mr. Rong's brand, I should repay his previous help.
Rong Yang’s reply was very concise, just two words: No need.
Wei Nian concluded for Rong Yang and said to Chen Xuan, "Do you know how Mr. Rong made his fortune?"
Chen Xuan looked at Wei Nian, who flicked the two cold and ruthless words on the white letter paper and said to Chen Xuan in a serious tone, "Be thrifty with words."
