“I want to ask if Shi Jin has any good medicine to remove scars.” Yue Yu was still looking forward to Shi Jin having a method.
“I was going to ask for you, but I was afraid that Shi Jin wouldn’t have time, so I haven’t asked yet. Let’s wait until after her concert.”
***
Shi Jin’s concert had been a success.
She was already very good at singing live. So a concert performance was not difficult for her.
There were no empty seats in a venue holding 50,000 people. There were light signs with her name under the stage.
The guest performers took up half an hour of the nearly three-hour concert. And she sang for more than two hours.
Below the stage was a grand and lively crowd.
She could not see their faces in the glittering light, but she knew that all kinds of people she cared about were sitting in the front row.
When it was over, the crowd cheered and the applause was thunderous.
Filled with excitement, Shi Jin headed backstage.
She unhooked her equipment as she headed for the makeup room.
Fu Xiuyuan walked toward her, keeping pace with her.
Her footsteps quickened until she flew over and into Fu Xiuyuan’s arms.
Excitement made her a little breathless.
Fu took her in his arms and patted her shoulder.
“It’s a success. A happy ending.”
“Mm, you deserve the glory.”
Shi Jin smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.
The concert ended successfully, leaving Shi Jin and the fans with an unforgettable experience.
Therefore, when she received the news that Yue Lanchen had invited her to the Yue family for a meal to celebrate, she agreed without thinking.
In the tub, she lay quietly, enjoying the relief of the massage.
When she felt sleepy, Fu Xiuyuan picked her up and placed her on the bed. “Sleep well.”
He dropped a kiss between her brows.
The next day, Shi Jin woke up. After washing up, she scrolled through the exciting videos left behind last night.
After she had eaten breakfast, Fu Xiuyuan brought over a document and handed it to her.
“You had a lot of questions about Yue Yu before. I looked up some stuff. Take a look.”
Shi Jin saw his serious expression and reached out to take it.
She thought for a moment but still opened it.
After two pages, she frowned. “I can’t believe that’s what happened.”
Her fingers clenched the document so tightly that she was actually powerless to turn the next page.
Fu Xiuyuan reached out and covered the back of her hand, clasping her fingers back.
She pressed her lips tightly together.
“Why would that be?” The question came out dry.
Knowing that Fu Xiuyuan couldn’t answer for the time being, she spoke more to herself than to him.
“I can continue to investigate. Or you can find them… and ask them,” Fu Xiuyuan said softly. “You can do whatever you want.”
Shi Jin lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

The office.
Yao Jiahong handed Shi Jin the various data reports from yesterday’s concert.
As Shi Jin flipped through it, Yao Jiahong smiled and said, “Your various statistics are very eye-catching and have become the benchmark of the industry. It’s time to put your concert in another big city on the agenda.”
“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you to arrange it.” Shi Jin read the report and thought it was fine.
“Then let’s discuss it next.”
Shi Jin was about to speak when she received a WeChat message from Madam Yue.
“Shi Jin, I have a headache. It didn’t work after I went to the hospital. Can you come over and take a look for me?”
“No problem. I’ll be right there.”
“Come to the house. Just come straight to my room.”
“Okay.”
Shi Jin said to Yao Jiahong, “Brother Yao, make the arrangements first. I have something to do.”
“Go on. I’ll get the driver to take you.”
“No, I can drive myself there.”
Shi Jin picked up her bag and went straight to her car.
Perhaps this was a good opportunity to question Madam Yue.
She was confused, so when she reached the Yue residence and saw that the door was ajar. She didn’t suspect anything and pushed it open.
The house was silent. None of the servants seemed to be there.
Madam Yue did not like to use servants either. She only had a maid who cleaned and cooked every day and would leave the Yue residence at night.
Shi Jin did not mind. She was thinking about how to ask Madam Yue. She went upstairs to Madam Yue’s room.
The door remained ajar. She pushed it open and stepped inside.
“Godmother? Are you there?” Shi Jin asked.
Yue Feng walked out as he was getting dressed. “Shi Jin, why are you here?”
“Sorry, I thought it was Godmother in there.” Shi Jin immediately turned her back and walked out.
He finished dressing in two or three quick movements.
Madam Yue was about to drive away when Yue Yu ran over.
“Why, are you coming to afternoon tea with me?” Madam Yue said with a grin. “Come along, then.”
“Sure, but I forgot something. Come with me to get it.”
Madam Yue smiled. “Okay, okay.”
The mother and daughter headed upstairs.
When they reached the elevator, they actually met Madam Lan and Old Madam Yue. They walked over together.
“What a coincidence, Grandma, Auntie Lan!” Yue Yu said with a smile. “My mother even said that we should go for afternoon tea together. It looks like we can only drink at home.”
Old Madam Yue said, “Lass, didn’t you say that you wanted to invite us over for afternoon tea?”
“Look at my memory. I almost forgot. Let’s go, let’s go. Together,” Yue Yu said.
The four of them entered the house together. When they heard movement upstairs, they immediately looked up and saw Shi Jin walking out of Madam Yue’s room with an unnatural expression.
And Yue Feng followed her out.
At first glance, such a scene was nothing. Even Madam Yue did not think too much about it.
However, Old Madam Yue’s expression immediately darkened. She said, “Shi Jin, where did you come from?”
As soon as she asked this, the atmosphere became a little awkward and stiff.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Madam Lan immediately said, “Old Madam, Shi Jin might be here to look for Xiao Yu’s mother, right, Shi Jin?”
Madam Lan also doted on Shi Jin a lot. What she said was intended to help Shi Jin. However, this happened to fall into the trap in Old Madam Yue’s words. If there was really nothing going on, why did she have to hide it?
Shi Jin immediately said, “Yes, I’m here to look for Godmother. Godmother asked me to come. You said that you were feeling a little unwell and asked me to go straight to your room, so I went over. I didn’t expect to not see you.”
It would have been better if she hadn’t said anything. Once she did, she fell further into Old Madam Yue’s impression that she was covering something up.
This time, even Madam Yue’s expression changed slightly because she did not contact Shi Jin at all!
Yue Yu said softly, “We were all planning to go out for afternoon tea. I didn’t expect you to come to see my father alone. Is there something work-related?”
