Chapter 120 The Pianist
"Kobayashi, tell me what happened?"
Not only Tang Jia was curious, but Aunt Xiao was also very curious.
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and then gave a brief explanation.
"Gnawing at him by poisonous insects, enduring nine rounds of steaming and refining—could this person still survive?"
After Fatty Lin finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations erupted.
Everyone's face showed curiosity, and not a single person showed even a trace of pity.
"More than twenty young girls died in the Gangren furnace, but when we arrived, one girl was still alive on the earthenware urn!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said in a deep voice."
"If we had arrived a little later, Gangren might have succeeded!"
"Gangren is too obsessed. He's already lived two lives, why is he still crafting magical artifacts? Can't he just enjoy life?"
Aunt Xiao clicked her tongue, somewhat puzzled.
"Old Xiao, don't try to guess what the master is thinking!" Ye Yingzi teased.
They chatted and drank as the conversation was about to end when Aunt Xiao suddenly nudged Ye Yingzi and said, "Old Ye, you know Li Xixi, right?"
"I know, he's a great pianist!"
Ye Yingzi took a sip of her drink and said, "What's wrong with him now?"
"I recently heard that he's hooking up with the daughter of the An family!" Aunt Xiao said with a mocking smile.
"From Lao An's family?"
Ye Yingzi muttered to herself, then remembered and said, "The little princess you mentioned who gave you face last time?"
"Yes, that's her!"
Aunt Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "Li Xixi is no good. I know everything about him. Who would have thought that a pianist would like to keep male lovers!"
"Yes!" Ye Yingzi echoed, not daring to continue the conversation.
"An Huaijie misjudged this time. She thought Li Xixi was a treasure. If she marries Li Xixi one day, I'll make fun of her. Her man keeps male lovers. It's shameful!" Aunt Xiao was obviously drunk. She gritted her teeth as she spoke, and her eyes were a little dazed.
Ye Yingzi gave an awkward laugh twice, not daring to continue.
Mary and the others initially laughed along, but after they learned who An Huaijie was, their smiles became strained.
This is a battle of gods. Even if the An family has fallen on hard times, they are not the ones who can laugh at them. If this gets out, none of them will be able to escape unscathed.
I didn't laugh either, mainly because I didn't find it funny.
An Huaijie isn't very famous now. The most famous thing she did in her later life was that she kept a young man from a certain proton group as her sugar daddy, and was known as the "Big Sister".
As for Li Xixi, there are many scandals surrounding him. His story with a certain male celebrity who sells bottled water could be written into a tragic romance novel.
As Aunt Xiao said, An Huaijie was blind to have fallen for him.
After listening for a while, I understood.
The feud between the two was actually quite simple. An Huaijie mocked Aunt Xiao as a mistress, saying that she didn't even know where the Hua family's front door was.
The reason for mocking Aunt Xiao was due to a long-standing grudge.
If it weren't for the Hua family, An Jia would be incredibly wealthy!
As Aunt Xiao's words became increasingly outrageous and her revelations more and more explosive, Sister Mary dared not listen anymore. She gave Ye Yingzi a wink, and Ye Yingzi immediately understood. She also dared not listen; some of the information was not something we should hear.
So, with a mix of coaxing and deception, we took Aunt Xiao downstairs and told her to go to sleep.
Mary took the opportunity to say goodbye and left with Gu Jun and Tang Jia.
"What's going on with those three?"
After Mary left, I asked in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Ye Yingzi scoffed and said, "We've ended up making movies together!"
"Is Gu Jun any good? Can he take on two opponents at once?"
"I asked, Fatty Lin."
Mary is no pushover, and Tang Jia doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with either.
"Hey, the key to this kind of thing is variety!"
Ye Yingzi blinked, her expression conveying a feeling that was better left unsaid.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from Mary that she and Gu Jun originally didn't plan to bring Tang Jia along; she insisted on joining in!"
Ye Yingzi continued.
"Did she want to join in herself?" Fatty Lin asked.
"right!"
Ye Yingzi smiled and said, "That's just how the entertainment industry is!"
"Awesome!" Fatty Lin slowly uttered two words.
"Is that what you call awesome?"
Ye Yingzi scoffed, glanced at us, and said, "This is nothing. Do you know what else Tang Jia has done?"
"What can you possibly do in this state?" Long Nier asked.
"What else can they do?"
Ye Yingzi patted Long Nier's arm and said, "Nier, there's nothing they can't do, only things you can't imagine. The director of the movie your sister Mary and the others made is Tang Jia's boyfriend!"
"Her boyfriend is a director, and she still dares to do that?" Long Nier was shocked.
"hehe!"
Ye Yingzi smiled and said, "Your sister Mary said that not only did she have fun by herself, but she also asked her boyfriend, that director, to join in. The director didn't agree, and she said that he, a grown man, wasn't as open-minded as her!"
"Your sister Mary is always outgoing, and Gu Jun is a seasoned veteran. Since Tang Jia offered herself up, they naturally had no reservations!"
"This is such a mess!" Long Nier murmured.
"Gu Jun has completely moved on from the movie 'Green Rain'!" I said.
"That's a long way off!" Ye Yingzi said.
"Oh, right, I heard from Mary that Gu Jun's wife even went to the film set to catch him cheating!" Ye Yingzi added.
"Did you catch them?" Fatty Lin asked hurriedly.
"Gotcha!"
Ye Yingzi nodded and said, "But it's not very useful. Gu Jun doesn't really care about his wife. Mary said that Gu Jun's relationship with his wife is somewhat similar to her relationship with Liang Yongren!"
"Do Gu Jun and his wife also have their own separate lives?" I asked.
"No, that's not it!"
Ye Yingzi shook her head and said, "I heard from Mary that Gu Jun was quite innocent when he was in school, but his girlfriend, who is now his wife, had several abortions in order to climb the corporate ladder and get a government job!"
"From then on, Gu Jun let loose, and his wife couldn't control him anymore!"
"This time, when they caught his wife cheating, Gu Jun didn't let it slide. It was only after Mary intervened and promised compensation that the matter was resolved!"
"The old soldier's wife knew when to stop; she took the compensation and left, completely abandoning him!"
"With Gu Jun's wife gone, the three of them are completely free now!"
"Someday I'll make a movie, find a couple on set, and see what it's like!" Fatty Lin said, smacking his lips.
"Xiao Lin, if you go to the film set, and all the women there find out who you are, they'll be throwing themselves at you! Even if you were made of iron, you wouldn't be able to handle it in less than two months!"
Ye Yingzi said with a smile, and at the end, she even pinched Lin Pangzi's arm.
"It's alright, the madman has tiger bones, I can make up for it!" Fatty Lin said.
