Chapter 165, Experience the Bitterness of Love! (Please Subscribe)

"Shen Qiushan!"

"You just wait, you brat!"

Lin Moxuan roared and then hung up the phone.

Chen Xiaohua, who was standing to the side, was startled, because Director Lin rarely lost his temper, especially not in such a state. This was the first time he had ever seen him lose his temper like this.

"Director Lin, please don't be angry."

"I've already checked. University faculty and staff are allowed to work part-time in their spare time, as long as it's not illegal."

"Secretary Lin was just singing a few songs; it's not against the rules!"

Chen Xiaohua quickly offered words of comfort.

Lin Moxuan remained silent for a while before looking up at his secretary, Chen Xiaohua: "Xiao Chen, are you married?"

"Uh……"

"Director Lin, I got married the year before last, and you were my witness!"

Upon hearing the reply, Lin Moxuan rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, you can go out now!"

He felt a surge of self-mockery: "I'm just grasping at straws when I'm desperate."

They even forgot about Xiao Chen's wedding!

However, Lin Moxuan felt that his approach was correct, and he wanted to prevent Shen Qiushan, that "old geezer," from harming his daughter any further.

The best solution is to get Lin Xiamo married as soon as possible!

Actually, Xiao Zhang is not bad either.

Lin Moxuan picked up his phone, found Zhang Chaofan's number in his contacts, and dialed it directly: "Hey Zhang, do you have time after get off work today?"

"Come over for dinner, and then play some chess with me..."

Sanjiang University.

Shen Qiushan and several roommates went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Coincidentally, I ran into my sister-in-law Lin Jiayu and Xu Pipa, who were eating in the cafeteria together.

"Brother-in-law, have you seen the news online?"

"My sister is secretly running a band!"

Upon meeting, Lin Jiayu immediately started talking about her sister.

"Yeah, I saw it."

Shen Qiushan nodded slightly.

"Brother-in-law, you're too calm."

"Don't you find it surprising?"

"Moreover, my dad was firmly against my sister forming a band. I remember when my sister formed a band in college, my dad gave her a severe scolding!"

"I can't even imagine what my dad's reaction would be if he knew my sister is still in a band!"

Lin Jiayu stroked her chin and said softly.

After seeing the video online, she called her sister Lin Xiamo, but her sister seemed calm and collected, much like Shen Qiushan was currently acting.

"Is it possible that your dad might blame someone else for your sister joining the band?"

"Uh?"

"how is this possible?"

Lin Jiayu shook her head: "Besides, who can he blame for this?"

Shen Qiushan gnawed on his ribs, remaining silent.

Little Mushroom, standing to the side, pointed at Shen Qiushan with her chopsticks: "Sister Jiayu, Uncle Shen is talking about himself."

"what?"

Lin Jiayu then realized what was happening and blinked her bright eyes: "Brother-in-law, did my dad call you?"

"15 minutes ago."

"What did he say?"

"They said it was me who encouraged your sister to form a band."

Shen Qiushan shrugged: "I only recently found out about your sister forming a band, and the earliest videos that have surfaced online are over a year old."

"What does it have to do with me!"

"That's right."

Lin Jiayu nodded in agreement, then felt something was off: "Wait a minute, so you do know about my sister forming a band!"

"But even I didn't know!"

"There's a secret between the two of you!"

Lin Jiayu pouted, clearly displeased.

"I didn't tell you because I was worried you'd leak the information."

"I won't!"

"No one is better at keeping secrets than me!"

"If you don't believe me, tell me a secret!"

Lin Jiayu pouted, looking completely confident.

"Okay!"

Shen Qiushan waved to her, signaling her to lean over.

Lin Jiayu readily moved closer, and then she heard Shen Qiushan whisper in her ear, "I'll be performing at Pulse Bar tonight."

After saying that, Shen Qiushan lowered his head and continued eating.

After a moment, Lin Jiayu looked at Shen Qiushan in astonishment and asked, "Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Remember to keep this a secret!"

Shen Qiushan made a shushing gesture.

Lin Jiayu stopped asking questions, but frowned and began to think. During the rest of the meal, she would occasionally glance at Shen Qiushan.

This brother-in-law, who had just won the Nebula Award not long ago, actually said he was going to perform at a bar.

It’s incredible!
She wanted to ask more questions several times.

But the people eating together right now, besides Little Mushroom Head Xu Pipa, are Shen Qiushan's three roommates.

Out of a sense of responsibility to keep the secret, she simply couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Senior, is it convenient to add each other on WeChat?"

Just as Lin Jiayu was wondering whether what Shen Qiushan said was true or false, the chubby boy sitting to Shen Qiushan's right handed her his phone with a smile.

Shen Qiushan has already introduced him; I think his name is Bao Beibei.

For Lin Jiayu, being asked for WeChat by boys is a common occurrence, and she almost always refuses.

But the situation is different now. Bao Beibei is Shen Qiushan's roommate, and we might need her in the future.

Lin Jiayu did not refuse.

"Senior, count me in."

Seeing that Bao Beibei had successfully obtained Lin Jiayu's WeChat, Feng Sicong quickly followed suit.

Seeing this, Shen Qiushan shook his head slightly. These two boys were either trying to make a move on his daughter or his sister-in-law.

You've really lost your mind!

Had lunch.

Lin Jiayu and Xu Pipa returned to their dormitory together.

On the way, Lin Jiayu hesitated several times before speaking, the feeling of having a secret in her heart was too painful.

She especially wanted to discuss with Xu Pipa whether Shen Qiushan could really perform at the bar.

But when she thought of what Shen Qiushan had said earlier, she suppressed her strong urge to share.

Who says I can't keep a secret?

I can keep secrets!

Yeah, I'm super tight-lipped!

Lin Jiayu is brainwashing herself.

I finally made it back to my dorm.

"Jiayu, your sister's performance videos are getting more and more popular!"

"The Red Rose Band's Kuaishou account already has 12 followers."

Fang Xiaoya approached with a smile.

"Oh, that's normal!"

"My sister has always been a very good singer."

Lin Jiayu gave a perfunctory reply, still thinking about the secret Shen Qiushan had told her.

"Jiayu, what's wrong?"

"What's on your mind?"

Fang Xiaoya, as Lin Jiayu's best friend, knew Lin Jiayu all too well; her behavior was clearly not right.

"Uh……"

Lin Jiayu scratched his head, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoya, I have something to tell you, but you must not tell anyone!"

"what?"

"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"

Fang Xiaoya looked at Lin Jiayu with curiosity.

"You must swear that you will keep this a secret."

"Okay, okay, I swear I won't tell anyone!"

"Otherwise, I'll never see Lao Shen again!"

Fang Xiaoya held up three fingers and solemnly swore an oath.

"Is it okay this time?"

"Hmm." Lin Jiayu nodded slightly, then said in a low voice, "My brother-in-law said he's performing at the Pulse Bar tonight."

Do you think this is a reliable idea?

"what?"

Fang Xiaoya was surprised: "Can our Lao Shen sing?"

"I think I know a little bit."

Lin Jiayu tried hard to recall, and Shen Qiushan had sung at the previous gathering, but his skills were just so-so.

"That's not impossible."

"Pulse Bar..."

"Let me search!"

Fang Xiaoya immediately took out her phone, opened the map, and searched for "Pulse Bar".

"It's less than 10 kilometers from our school. We'll find out if it's true or not tonight!"

"But the bar performances go on until very late, what am I going to do if I can't get back to my dorm?"

Lin Jiayu said with a worried expression.

"At worst, we can just run away once."

"And they might not be unable to come back!"

Fang Xiaoya was determined to go and see.

"This……"

Lin Jiayu was somewhat conflicted. Her family was very strict, and if her father found out that she had skipped class, he would definitely control her even more strictly in the future, for example, she had to come home every weekend.

Half past five.

Lin Moxuan returned home.

Hearing the door open, Chen Qingzhu came out of the kitchen: "Old Lin, Momo didn't like that Xiao Zhang, did she?"

"Why did you invite him to your house for dinner again?"

In the afternoon.

Chen Qingzhu received a call from her husband, Lin Moxuan, saying that Zhang Chaofan was coming over for dinner that evening and asked her to prepare.

Lin Moxuan was in a hurry to go to a meeting at the time, so he didn't say much.

"You saw the news online, right?"

"MoMo has secretly formed a band again, and it has caused quite a stir in the media."

"There's been a lot of criticism and condemnation, and look at those videos, what kind of outfit is Momo wearing?"

"People say she has corrupted the ethics and conduct of teachers, and that's not without basis!"

Lin Moxuan said angrily, "I think she's just been single for too long and has nothing better to do."

"Get married and have a baby quickly, then you won't have time to do such ridiculous things!"

Chen Qingzhu disagreed with her husband's point of view. She wiped the water droplets from her hands and said, "Although there are criticisms online, I see that there are quite a few people who support her."

"If she likes to sing, let her sing. Everyone needs a hobby!"

"If you ask me, those who criticize her are being unfair! Singing part-time in her spare time, how does that violate a teacher's ethics and conduct!"

"MoMo and the others are a band, so their stage image naturally needs to be a bit exaggerated."

"The most important thing for a band is to have its own style!"

Chen Qingzhu, after all, was a professional singer and understood music, so she could understand her daughter forming a band to sing.

"I initially thought it was that brat Shen Qiushan who instigated it!"

"Now it seems that you, as the mother, were also secretly fueling this?"

Lin Moxuan retorted angrily.

"Why are you like a mad dog, biting anyone you see!"

"I only found out about Momo forming a band today!"

Chen Qingzhu rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You just said you thought it was Qiushan who instigated it. What does this have to do with Qiushan?"

“I’ve watched all those videos online. The earliest one is from over a year ago, when Momo was still working at the Education Bureau!”

"I think you're prejudiced against Akiyama; you can relate everything to him!"

Lin Moxuan was speechless after being rebuked. In fact, he knew that it was a bit of a stretch to say that Shen Qiushan had instigated it.

But what was Shen Qiushan's attitude at noon?
"He admitted it himself!"

"Anyway, that Shen Qiushan kid is up to no good!"

"You've probably forgotten about sleeping in the same room with Momo a while ago, haven't you?"

Lin Moxuan said with a sullen face, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about his nonsense for now."

"Let's talk about Xiao Zhang!"

"I think this kid is pretty good. He comes from a good family and has a good job, but his appearance is just average."

"But when it comes to marriage and living together, character is the most important thing. I think he should get to know Momo more..."

Lin Moxuan knew he had no advantage in discussing Shen Qiushan, so he simply changed the subject.

"We should ask Momo for her opinion on this."

"She doesn't agree, no amount of eloquence will change her mind!"

Chen Qingzhu shook her head. She didn't have a good impression of Zhang Chaofan. It wasn't that he was a bad person, but Shen Qiushan, her eldest son-in-law, happened to be there on the day of the blind date.

The contrast between the two is just too stark.

When Zhang Chaofan arrived, he brought a gift box worth a few dozen yuan.

Shen Qiushan not only gave her a large gold bracelet, but also gave his wife an antique inkstone.

Besides the two large items, the case of Moutai, the case of Langjiu, and several cartons of cigarettes are still in Lin Moxuan's study.

Of course, given their different social statuses, it would be unfair to judge solely by the gifts they brought.

However, in all other aspects, Zhang Chaofan did not have an advantage.

No wonder her daughter Lin Xiamo didn't like it; she didn't like it either!
They even thought it would be nice to let Shen Qiushan stay in their family as their son-in-law.

"We can't always let her have her way with these things!"

"Besides, she's become a controversial figure now, so it's hard to say whether Xiao Zhang would even want to be with her!"

Lin Moxuan sighed, then took out his phone and said, "Alright, you can continue with your work."

"I'll call Momo's boss. We can't let this jeopardize Momo's future..."

Pulse Bar.

This is a quiet bar with entertainment facilities.

The bar is open from afternoon until 3 a.m.

The performance started at 7 p.m. and lasted until midnight.

There are different performances at each time slot, mostly singing and dancing, with occasional magic and acrobatics.

The Red Rose Band performs at this bar four days a month, basically one day a week.

Because they performed yesterday, the Red Rose Band wouldn't normally perform here today.

However, in order to cooperate with Shen Qiushan's plan, Hu Tingting made a special arrangement with the boss that the band would also perform today.

Around six o'clock, Shen Qiushan met up with the trio from the Red Rose Band.

"Brother Shen, did you really write 'Red Rose'?"

Upon meeting, Hu Tingting immediately asked.

"if not?"

Have you heard of this anywhere else?

Shen Qiushan smiled and asked in return.

"I checked."

"I couldn't find it, but it still seems unbelievable!"

"How come a writer like you can also write songs?"

Hu Tingting expressed her shock.

"If you can write such long novels, is it really that difficult to write lyrics of a few hundred words?"

Shen Qiushan shrugged, his gaze sweeping over the three of them: "So, what do you think of that song?"

"Cow!"

“That’s awesome!”

Zhu Xinyue tossed her long, wavy hair and then gave a thumbs up.

"That's awesome!"

Fang Di, the girl with the blond hair, nodded in agreement.

Hu Tingting puffed out her ample bosom and said with a smile, "Brother Shen, I just got married too early, otherwise I would definitely have won you over!"

"For no other reason than to lock you at home to write songs!"

"It's not too late to get a divorce now!"

Zhu Xinyue teased with a grin.

"forget it."

"I'm afraid Momo will kill me."

As she spoke, Hu Tingting winked at Shen Qiushan: "Brother Shen, your trick of diverting trouble might work, but it could also backfire on you!"

"At that time, everyone will stop criticizing Momo and start criticizing you!"

"You're trying to be a hero by saving a damsel in distress, aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?!"

Shen Qiushan smiled without saying a word.

He silently thought to himself: What am I afraid of, a man with a cheat code?

Zhu Xinyue chimed in, "What do you know? This is true love!"

Fang Di, the little blonde girl, couldn't help but sigh, "Mo Mo, this time there's no escaping it!"

"It's finally her turn to suffer the bitterness of love!"
