Chapter 193 Old Lover! (Part 2)
Shen Ruoyan wiped away her tears and followed Jiang Chengfeng to leave. But just as she reached the door, she heard the sound of a piano. Turning her head, she saw Su Yueqing kneeling in front of the table, playing the piano, and singing.
Twenty-eight years later, Su Yueqing's voice is no longer as ethereal and clear as when she was young. Her voice is now a little deep and hoarse. However, such a voice, coupled with the sad lyrics, is a true portrayal of her at this moment. Without any embellishment, it can arouse more resonance among people.
After twenty-eight years of ardent waiting and deep anticipation, the wish has finally come true, but the face has aged. All the hardships endured during this period are fully displayed in this song.
Listening to Su Yueqing's singing, Shen Ruoyan, who had just stopped crying, couldn't help crying again. Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help feeling a little sad, and sighed: "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world!"
"Jiang Dazhu——" Shen Ruoyan suddenly looked at Jiang Chengfeng and asked, "You——you will definitely not learn from Mr. Bohu, right?"
"Learn from him?" Jiang Chengfeng was stunned, and said with a sly smile: "Why would I learn from him? Speaking of which, he should learn more from me about this kind of thing."
"Learn from you?" Shen Ruoyan was stunned for a moment.
"That's right! Learn from my love and tenacity. When you see a beautiful girl you like, go for her. No matter what method you use, you must get her! Speaking of which, this old man Tang is really stupid!"
A sad and beautiful love story, after being mixed up by Jiang Chengfeng, suddenly changed its flavor. Shen Ruoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know what to say to this man.
At this moment, I heard the sound of a string breaking. I turned around and saw Su Yueqing standing up and said resolutely: "Mr. Tang, 28 years ago, you gave me this guqin. Today I will play a song on the guqin and return it to you. This can be regarded as paying off the 28 years of friendship!"
After that, Su Yueqing laughed miserably, staggered out of the hall, and actually wanted to jump into the lake. Jiang Chengfeng rushed over, pulled Su Yueqing's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, if you want to jump into the lake, you should go over there! The water is deeper over there!"
"You - what do you mean?" Su Yueqing asked in surprise.
"Fulfill your wish!" Jiang Chengfeng said with a smile.
At this time, Tang Yin had already trotted forward, holding Su Yueqing's hand, his face flushed with excitement, his gray beard trembling constantly, "Yueqing, twenty-eight years ago, I failed your love. Today, if you give me another chance, I will never fail you again!"
Su Yueqing burst into tears and choked up, "How many twenty-eight years can a woman have? What's the point of you saying these hypocritically now? I don't want to live anymore!"
Tang Yin didn't care that his niece Ruoyan was watching him, and hugged Su Yueqing with all his strength.
Jiang Chengfeng was very puzzled. It was obvious that these two were lovers, so why did they have to make it so life-and-death? They were already quite old, so there was no need to make it so exciting, right?
Shen Ruoyan walked to Jiang Chengfeng's side and asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"
Jiang Chengfeng suddenly had an idea and said with a sly smile, "Oh, right! Where is your red thread?"
Shen Ruoyan blushed and said, "Why are you asking this?"
Jiang Chengfeng pointed at Tang Yin and Su Yueqing who were hugging each other and crying, and said with a smile: "How about we play the role of the matchmaker?"
Shen Ruoyan was also a smart person. She immediately understood what Jiang Chengfeng meant and couldn't help but chuckle, "I knew I couldn't defeat you!"
Jiang Chengfeng took the red thread handed to him by Shen Ruoyan with a smile, walked over and grabbed Tang Yin's left wrist and tied it up with the red thread, while Shen Ruoyan grabbed Su Yueqing's right wrist and tied it up with the red thread.
Su Yueqing was puzzled. She wiped her tears and asked, "Young Master, who is——"
"I'm just a small servant, my name is Jiang Dazhu!" Jiang Chengfeng tied the red string around their wrists, smiled and said, "I'll play the role of matchmaker. If you two are going to get married in the future, you have to treat me to a thank-you drink!"
"Mr. Jiang, you are joking! How dare a dying person like Yueqing say this?" Su Yueqing was obviously still a little angry, and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
Jiang Chengfeng smiled and said, "I admire Sister Su's infatuation. She waited for twenty-eight years! But since she has waited for twenty-eight years, do you still care about such a short time?"
As he spoke, Jiang Chengfeng turned to look at Tang Yin and said, "Master Tang, do you really not love Miss Su Yueqing anymore?"
"No!" Tang Yin's face flushed red when he spoke of this, and he said hesitantly, "I still love Yue Qing very much, and for the past 28 years, I have sent letters to Huazhou almost every month!"
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly shocked and continued to ask, "Why don't you come to find Miss Su in person?"
Tang Yin's face was filled with bitterness as he said, "That little note from Yue Qing was circulated all over the city, which meant that my escape route was blocked. Even if I wanted to come, I was powerless!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded to show his understanding, then looked at Su Yueqing again and asked, "Miss Su, do you no longer love Mr. Tang?"
Su Yueqing raised her eyes and glanced at Tang Yin, but she said nothing. Jiang Chengfeng smiled and said, "Why don't you let me tell you! In fact, for the past 28 years, Miss Su has been closed to visitors, missing you and hating Mr. Tang. After 28 years of brewing, you don't even know whether you love or hate him!"
Su Yueqing was surprised, her cheeks slightly red, and then she let out a sigh.
"Mr. Tang is coming to Huazhou this time. Does your wife know about this?" Jiang Chengfeng asked.
"My wife passed away a long time ago!" Tang Yin sighed.
"Since she has passed away, you still refuse to come to see me. You have no conscience!" Su Yueqing said sadly.
"Alright, alright!" Jiang Chengfeng interrupted Su Yueqing's complaints, "Since you have loved each other for 28 years, but couldn't be together for various reasons, now that you finally meet, why do you want to commit suicide? Life is like a dream, why leave regrets in life?"
"It's impossible for you two to separate now!" Shen Ruoyan giggled, "Because Yue Lao has tied the red thread for you!"
Tang Yin and Su Yueqing were stunned. They looked down and found that the red strings on their wrists had been tied together and formed a bow.
The two looked at each other, both with ruddy complexions. Although Tang Yin had been an official for many years, he was still a man after all. He knew that this was Brother Jiang creating an opportunity for him, so he did not hesitate and immediately held Su Yueqing's hand, saying affectionately: "Yueqing, in fact, I have always loved you very much!"
Su Yueqing lowered her head in silence, her cheeks were pale, and tears fell one by one.
Jiang Chengfeng laughed and left quietly, telling Shen Ruoyan that it was time to leave. Shen Ruoyan nodded, said a blessing, and followed Jiang Chengfeng out of the hall.
