Liang Wan knows that Hikari Sakura likes her, and she admits that Hikari Sakura is indeed a very good woman. However, no matter how good she is, she is still a Japanese woman.
She almost knew about Hinata Sakura coming to China on the first day she arrived in Nanjing, but she came as a representative of the Japanese royal family.
In Liang Wan's impression, Hina Sakura was a pure and picturesque woman, like a cherry blossom. But now, after being apart for so many years, she couldn't find a trace of her former self in this woman.
And when she heard Liang Wan still calling her "Ying" as before, Hina Sakura shed a tear, partly excited and partly satisfied. That tear was very crystalline, just like her feelings towards Liang Wan, pure without any impurities, the most genuine. It can be said that because of this emotion, she still retained some of the original Hina Sakura, the naive girl she hadn't completely killed with her own hands. But what she didn't know was that this goodness she preserved was completely unnecessary for Liang Wan.
Liang Wan didn't mind.
Cao Hai walked to the backstage and called Qin Xuan aside.
Zou Ling furrowed his brow, but remained silent.
Cao Hai: "You performed well. Lao Zuo didn't recommend the wrong person."
Cao Hai first exchanged some pleasantries, his smile so greasy that it almost seemed capable of oozing oil.
Cao Hai: "Let's go back with Miss Liang tonight."
Qin Xuan was at a loss, standing still and completely bewildered.
Qin Xuan: "What?"
She seems to have not yet realized just how great a fortune has befallen her. Cao Hai patiently explained, "The entire Shanghai community knows that Miss Liang loves to listen to operas, so all the famous actors in Shanghai are eager to catch a glimpse of her, hoping to transform from a chicken into a phoenix -"
As he spoke, Cao Hai made funny faces, hoping that she would understand.
However, obviously Qin Xuan did not.
This straightforward girl who just arrived from the countryside in Hunan today, although she sings well and has a fair complexion, but it seems her brain doesn't work very well. She looked at Cao Hai and said, "Boss Cao, even I can't sing on my own."
Cao Hai originally thought that if this girl became famous in the future, he could still benefit from it, so he didn't want to have a hostile attitude towards her. However, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Cao Hai: "Such a grand display."
Cao Hai's eyes narrowed, filled with anger.
Cao Hai: "The person outside is requesting your presence. They are giving you face, so you shouldn't refuse it!"
Seeing how angry he was, Qin Xuan wisely remained silent.
She knew that from today onwards, her impression of being brainless had been etched in Cao Hai's mind.
Cao Hai: "Let me tell you, be sensible and quickly remove your makeup. Take the things and follow Miss Liang back. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite to you! Honestly, you are so arrogant even before achieving anything. How can you handle it if you actually achieve something?"
After Cao Hai finished speaking, he left in a huff.
Qin Xuan sighed as she watched his receding figure.
And just at this moment when Ri Xiangya and Liang Wan were speaking, Du Chongshan arrived late.
Du Zhongshan lived a somewhat absurd life. When he was young, he had a passionate spirit, but unfortunately reality was too cruel and extinguished that passion. He despised and hated the invaders, but he was just a powerless scholar. He couldn't abandon his studies to join the military; he didn't have the courage, and his passion had long gone cold. Just when his patriotic fervor couldn't find an outlet, Wang Jingwei's "collaborationist" approach provided him a glimmer of hope. He felt he saw a possibility and thus joined Wang Jingwei's Nanjing government without hesitation. However, in the end, he discovered that there was no real "collaborationist" approach, just willingly becoming the Japanese's puppet. In this way, even the last hope was shattered.
Liang Wan: "Uncle Du has arrived. Long time no see."
When she saw him coming, Liang Wan immediately spoke out to greet him.
Although she said "long time no see," Liang Wan had actually never met this Du Zhongshan before. There were too many people trying to ingratiate themselves with her, and she couldn't meet them all.
However, Liang Wan's calling "Uncle Du" had given Du Zhongshan enough face, and as a result, he even straightened his back a little.
Du Zhongshan: "Oh, Miss Riyu is here too."
Hinata Sakura didn't seem very pleased with Du Zhongshan's appearance, but she still maintained a smile on her face and slightly nodded as a polite gesture. "Minister Du, you came very quickly, and you've done a great job."
Du Zhongshan also had a smile on his face, but his eyes were not smiling.
Du Zhongshan: "No, no matter how fast, it's still slower than Miss Riyoko."
Hearing him say this, Sakura's eyes sharpened.
It seemed like they wanted to start arguing in front of her. Liang Wanqing cleared her throat and said, "Are the two of you here to let Liang Wanqing listen to your quarrel?"
Du Zhongshan, Ri Xiangying: "!"
And at this moment, Cao Hai walked over.
Upon seeing that Hinata Sakura and Du Chongshan were also present, he was startled for a moment before walking over to Liang Wan's side.
Cao Hai: "Miss Liang, the person has already been sent according to your instructions."
Liang Wan's smile deepened as she looked at the two tense individuals. Letting out a sigh, she said, "Both of you, Liang Wan has just returned from Nanjing and is quite tired today. I apologize, but I will host a private banquet to entertain both of you tomorrow."
Ri Xiangyin originally wanted to catch up, but due to Du Zhongshan's presence, she could only give up.
As she sat back in the car, Liang Wan pulled the car curtain closed. While unbuttoning the first button, she let out a cold laugh.
Liang Wan: "People will ultimately change, as the ancients honestly warned me."
Afterward, the car started and left Tingxiao Tower.
