the landlord is a former

Chapter 51

July 2010, 7, London.

"Maomao, where did you put my panties?"

Early in the morning, Shi Jinzhi packed his luggage in a hurry, forgot to take his underwear in the panic, searched everywhere but couldn't find it, and yelled in a hurry.

She is usually busy, either attending school or performing around the world, staying in hotels more often than living at home, and Fu Baiqiu takes care of all the items in the house, ranging from furniture to dental floss, including her underwear.

"In the cabinet, the second drawer outside." Fu Baiqiu's voice came from the study.

She held a few music books, a stack of manuscripts, and a stack of typed drafts in her hands, and repeatedly confirmed that they were all in order, and carried them back to the room.

"did you find it?"

There was a flurry of noises in the room, the large double bed was full of clothes dug out from the closet, half of Shi Jinzhi got into the closet, and muffled: "I found it."

"Here's the score. I've got it all for you. Check to see if there's anything missing."

"Just look at it."

Shi Jinzhi's tone was a little impatient, his delicate and fair face was flushed with anxiety, and fine beads of sweat were seeping from the corner of his forehead.She didn't even look at it, and threw the clothes into the box hastily, and then remembered that she didn't bring the toiletries, and hurried to the bathroom to get them.

Seeing her busy coming and going, Fu Baiqiu couldn't pack a suitcase for a long time, Fu Baiqiu sighed helplessly: "I'll come, 10 minutes."

"Well."

"Go and sit next to me and see your sweaty head." She couldn't see Jin Zhi's distressed appearance the most, and would rather do all these tedious chores by herself, so she took out a wet towel to wipe her sweat.

——Pop chirp!

Jinzhi kissed her, and smiled broadly: "My wife is the best~" After speaking, he obediently sat aside and sorted out the scores.

Next Saturday, on the 24th, there will be a large-scale concert in Paris. Starting tomorrow, all those involved in the performance will have a week-long closed rehearsal, and Shi Jinzhi is among them. This is her first time with She attaches great importance to the cooperation with the Paris Symphony Orchestra, and this concert has a very important position in the classical music world. If she can successfully complete the cooperation, her status in the industry and international reputation will be greatly improved.

For Shi Jinzhi, who has just made his mark in the industry at a young age, this opportunity is once in a lifetime, and he must treat it with great vigor, without any sloppiness.

Fu Baiqiu was quick with his hands and feet, and he packed the luggage for his wife in a short while.

She understands Jinzhi's living habits, what he likes to use and what he doesn't like to use, what things are essential when going out, and what things are necessary or not, she is simply a caring little housekeeper.

"My wife, why are you so good?" Shi Jinzhi hugged her like a kiss, "I love you so much, mua~"

"Fool."

Fu Baiqiu's face was glistening with her saliva, and the smile in his eyes was gentle and doting, "Do you want to take another bath? You're sweating, can't you take it?"

"Wash before you go."

"Well, what do you want for lunch? I'll cook." She squeezed her face.

Shi Jinzhi hooked her neck and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to school? Graduation ceremony today."

"Going to the afternoon show." Fu Baiqiu held her face in both hands, his eyes were as gentle as water, "You will leave in the afternoon, and you won't be able to use your phone for a week. I want to cook you a meal at the end."

This closed rehearsal cannot use any communication tools, cannot access the Internet, and is completely isolated from the world. It lasted for a week, and it is very difficult to think about it.

Since they fell in love, they have never been separated for such a long time at one time, it is too exhausting.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, as if parting from life and death.

Shi Jinzhi frowned: "Maomao, you say that, it feels like I'm going to die."

"Bah, bah, bah, nonsense."

"That's right. Anyway, it's only seven days. Soon, you will be able to see me on TV on the day of the celebration. The most beautiful and most eye-catching pianist is your wife. Are you proud? Are you proud? Just tell everyone, Envious of others, hum."

"Little fool." Fu Baiqiu was amused by her, and he pinched the tip of her nose affectionately, "I'll tell people wherever I dare. Although I'm in a corrupt country, it's better for public figures not to expose these things lightly."

"Didn't you agree to come out publicly at the music festival in August?"

"..."

"I want to announce to the whole world that you are my wife." The little fool raised his chin proudly, owning Mao Mao is something worth showing off to the world.

"I still have to tweet, post on Facebook, post on Weibo, and post a lot."

It was supposed to be announced at the summer concert in Berlin last month, but it had to be postponed because both of them were too busy, but this time it can't be postponed anyway, and she can't wait to let people all over the world know that she has a precious daughter-in-law .

Seeing her naive and persistent appearance, Fu Baiqiu's eyes were a little red, and he wanted to cry despite his sweet heart.

Over the past few years in foreign countries, they love each other very hard, because they are busy, because they are young, because of all kinds of complicated and trivial matters, because of the uncertain future, they always quarrel, and there is a cold war after the quarrel, and every time they bow their heads first.She often suspects that there is no pure love between the two of them in high school, and often thinks that she is not good enough, not worthy of the dazzling Jinzhi, but the words and deeds of this little fool really show that she is the only one in her heart—— — After all, even talking in sleep is "I have Mao Mao", "I am Mao Mao's hibiscus".

In my heart, besides her is the piano.

How could such a good-looking idiot with a lot of money be picked up by her?

"Maomao?"

When his thoughts returned to reality, Fu Baiqiu met Shang Jinzhi's expectant eyes, and the string in his heart was pulled. He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied softly: "Okay."

——Pop chirp!

Another kiss.

"It's all saliva, go and go." She frowned pretending to be disgusted.

At that time, people are stupid and have a lot of money and good looks. Jin is obedient: "Okay, then I will wipe it off for my wife."

"Just kidding, fool."

"If you keep saying I'm stupid, then I'm really stupid. Then you'll be a fool and her wife!"

"Aren't I already a fool and her daughter-in-law?"

"you--"

"Hahahahaha..."

Hibiscus got angry obediently, went to practice the piano, didn't talk to the foolish wife for a long time, and finally coaxed her on the bed in broad daylight.

In the afternoon, manager Sherly Ye and assistant Josie came over.

Fu Baiqiu helped his idiot to check the luggage for the last time, and the two of them got bored in the room for a while, and they didn't want to separate more and more.

"Maomao, can you go with me?"

"You can't live together even if you go, you have to rehearse in a closed room, idiot."

"Yes, uh."

Hugging and snuggling, kissing and inseparable.

"And my parents will come to play the day after tomorrow, so I have to stay here to pick them up."

"Uncle and aunt come?"

"Well, the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, NK309."

Shi Jinzhi was surprised, and opened his mouth slightly: "Then you have to let them stay for a few more days, I will return to London on the morning of the 25th at the latest, and midnight on the 24th is also fine!"

"Yes, you can perform at ease, don't worry." Fu Baiqiu rubbed her head to comfort her.

This time the parents came here mainly for fun, and the elderly on both sides brought them along, as well as the younger brother, who happened to have no homework during the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, and the family accompanied her through the summer of graduation, and discussed buying a house here by the way.

Jinzhi plans to go to the United States to study in graduate school, and to go to the Juilliard School that she had missed. The two are basically sure that they will settle in Europe after graduation and will immigrate here. The house must be ready.

"Okay then, say hello to uncle and aunt for me first."

"Ah."

In Shi Jinzhi's eyes, the daughter-in-law's parents are simply model parents in the world. They are gentle, kind, patient, tolerant, open-minded and educated. This is how they can raise such a good daughter, and they were picked up by her.

At present, she is still afraid to come out to her family, so she is very envious of her daughter-in-law's parents. When she heard that her daughter likes girls, she immediately expressed respect and support, fairy parents.

"Well, I can't bear Mao Mao."

—— tuk tuk tuk

Shi Jinzhi still wanted to get bored with his wife for a while, when the manager knocked on the door, "Jin, are you okay?"

"..."

Jin obediently and reluctantly responded, Fu Baiqiu pinched her cheek, and comforted her softly: "Hey, time flies."

The door opened and the two walked out.

Ye Zixiao's eyes fell on their clasped hands, her eyes darkened, and she immediately returned to her motherly smile: "It's time to go."

As he said that, he hugged her shoulders calmly and pulled her to his side. Assistant Josie stood up with the suitcase and walked out the door first.

Fu Baiqiu took it for granted, and said to his manager, "Sister Ye, please take care of Jinzhi."

They communicate more in Chinese in private, and the same is true between Jinzhi and Sister Ye. Although the latter has half Chinese blood, but lives in Europe and the United States all year round, it is easier to express in English, and occasionally switches between Chinese and English seamlessly.

In Ye Zixiao's words, communicating with Jinzhi in Chinese can make her feel more cordial and trust her.

"Don't worry." Ye Zixiao smiled.

"Call me when you arrive in Paris." Fu Baiqiu held his wife's hand, and couldn't help laughing when he saw her being protected by his manager like a good baby.

Jin nodded obediently: "Yeah."

——Pop chirp!

In front of the manager, he kissed him without any shyness.

"My wife, I'm leaving~"

"Go, come on."

Jin put on a grimace obediently, carried the small bag on her back and put on her shoes, and was led away by Ye Zixiao like a daughter.

The car was waiting outside the door, Fu Baiqiu stood on the balcony and watched the car go away, feeling lost in his heart.Until the car disappeared from sight, she returned to the house, packed her things and prepared to attend the graduation ceremony.

When he arrived in Paris, the first thing Shi Jinzhi did was to call his wife.

The two got tired of talking on the phone for more than half an hour, and then she was taken by Ye Zixiao to meet with the orchestra members, had dinner in the evening, and checked into the hotel arranged by the organizer. The next morning, she and her assistant handed in their mobile phones , began a week of rehearsals.

Put your heart and soul into it, and the time does pass quickly.

On the morning of July 7, Fu Baiqiu made a video call with his younger brother while his family was at Rongcheng Airport.

"Sister, we're boarding the plane, remember to pick us up at the airport." The younger brother smiled silly in the video, with his grandparents walking like flying beside the camera.

"Okay." Fu Baiqiu smiled while lying on the sofa with his mobile phone in his arms.

It is evening in China, and the family has just boarded the plane, and they will arrive in London in the evening. She just took advantage of this time to clean up the house, buy some ingredients, and have dinner with the family in the evening.

I was in a good mood, so I sent a text message to my daughter-in-law: I miss the second day when Hibiscus is obedient, kiss.

Then I didn't touch my phone all day.

Until the evening, she memorized the landing time and was about to set off to pick up someone at the airport. She took out her mobile phone to check the flight status, but she didn't want to hear the most desperate news in her life.

[Flight NK309 from Rongcheng to London crashed in Ukraine five hours after takeoff, the number of casualties is still unknown]

— Pata

The phone fell to the ground and the screen was torn apart.

Five hours after takeoff...

That is, it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon in London time, four hours had passed since now.

She picked up her phone and rushed out the door like crazy.

Meanwhile, Paris.

Ye Zixiao was sitting on the single sofa by the window, the slender cigarette in her hand was sparkling with sparks, her plump red lips exhaled a wisp of green smoke, the aroma was lingering, she picked up Shi Jinzhi's cell phone with the other hand, stared at Looking at the nasty text messages in the inbox, the eyebrows are so twisted that they can kill flies.

7.17: I miss the first day when Hibiscus was obedient, hug.

7.18: I miss the second day when Hibiscus was obedient, kiss.

Her deep brown eyes set off turbulent waves, and her knuckles painted with Dan Kou slightly curled up, hesitating between deleting and not deleting.

It's really annoying.

When she thought that the little cabbage that she had carefully cultivated belonged to her, she became very angry, and wished that the person surnamed Fu would disappear in place.

Xiaobaicai is innocent and easy to coax, but the surname Fu is not easy to fool. She is looking forward to their breakup every day, breaking up, and taking Xiaobaicai out for activities as much as possible, so as to reduce the time the two spend together.

Asian girls are all treasures, with fair skin and beautiful skin, tender meat, and the taste of hands. I don’t know how wonderful it is. In order to gain the trust of Xiaobaicai, she just held back and found countless substitutes. , no one can compare to Xiaobaicai.

Crazy.

To delete text messages or not to delete them?

Ye Zixiao took a sharp puff from the cigarette holder, and a large part of her long and slender mouth burned instantly. The aroma of roses was so strong that it was a bit choking. She put down the phone irritably, closed her eyes and rested her mind.

Last year, I changed the contract for Xiaobaicai. If I really want to do it, it is not impossible.

I endured so hard.

--Ding

Jinzhi's cell phone rang, Ye Zixiao opened his eyes, picked it up casually, and saw that it was Fu again.

[The flight my parents took had an accident. I am in contact with the airline company. I may have to go out in the next two days. Wait for me to come back]

Ye Zixiao: "!!!"

She quickly picked up her mobile phone and searched for news online.

There was indeed a plane crash today, in Ukraine, flying from Rongcheng, China to London, the number of casualties is unknown.

An idea gradually took shape in her mind...

She deleted the text message.

On July 7, the number of casualties in the air accident was determined, and all 20 people including the crew were killed.

Shi Jinzhi's mobile phone received another text message, only six words:

【I went to Ukraine】

Ye Zixiao leaned against the window and smoked, and deleted the text messages casually, her deep facial features were as cold as a blade in the sun.

On July 7, another text message:

[I'll go back to China to deal with insurance and compensation...I don't know what to do, I miss you so much, cub]

delete.

On the last day of rehearsal, Jinzhi and the members of the orchestra got to know each other well, and the effect was very satisfactory. Thinking that she would be able to go back to reunite with her daughter-in-law after the concert tomorrow, she couldn't wait to use her mobile phone to call Maomao.

Ye Zixiao refused straight away, saying that only seven days would be enough, and she would give her the phone tomorrow morning.

"How do you say it in the Chinese language, those who achieve great things don't care about small things, and think about the love of their children all day long, how can they achieve success in their careers?"

She preached earnestly, and Shi Jinzhi felt that it made sense, so she worked hard at work, so that she would not disappoint her lover's expectations. After the busy time, she planned to go out for a good vacation with the two of them.

March 7, early morning.

Shi Jinzhi got the phone, and excitedly searched through the inbox and social software, but found that Mao Mao hadn't sent a word in the past seven days.

She was a little disappointed.

Maomao knew that he couldn't answer the call, so at least he would send her a text message so that she could see it immediately.

But nothing.

Before going to the concert hall, Ye Zixiao confiscated her mobile phone again in the name of not being able to be distracted, and asked her assistant to follow her to the concert hall first, and then she can move freely after the end.

Hibiscus was very obedient, thinking about enduring it for seven days, and then left with the assistant.

On the way, the assistant was reading the news.

"Oh my god, the Ukrainian plane crash." Josie exclaimed.

In the news a week ago, she felt like she had just connected to the Internet.

Shi Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, the direction of the place was not peaceful, maybe it was a fighter accident, she didn't care, and continued to turn over the sheet music.

"All those who took off from China and arrived in London were killed..."

"what?"

"Look." The assistant handed over the phone.

The dense capital letters came into view, and the lines in the news report were stern and serious. Seeing the flight number, Shi Jinzhi's brain buzzed, and his pupils suddenly dilated...

【Well, the day after tomorrow afternoon, NK309】

Her lips parted slightly, trembling, her hands and feet were cold, and she suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

The driver braked and turned to look at her suspiciously.

"No, go to the airport, go to the airport quickly...!" Shi Jinzhi's eyes were flushed, he slapped the seat desperately, and shouted hoarsely, "Hurry up!"

Assistant: "Jin, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Driver was at a loss, but he did it anyway. If Sherly was there, he would consult Sherly first before deciding whether to go to the airport or not.

The car turned around and headed towards the airport.

Shi Jinzhi grabbed the assistant's mobile phone, pressed the landline number at home in London with trembling fingers, but no one answered, and then dialed Fu Baiqiu's mobile phone number, but it turned off after waiting for a long time.

The news said that the family members rushed to the crash site on the 20th, and returned to their home countries on the 23rd to deal with follow-up compensation matters. If Maomao was at home in London, he should have answered the phone, but in the current situation, most of them have returned to China.

But why shut down?

The daughter-in-law had such a big incident, and she didn't know anything about it. Now she can't get in touch with anyone. She feels that the sky is about to fall. It's hard to imagine how desperate Mao Mao is.

Shi Jinzhi sat in the car crying, and the assistant was stunned, thinking that her empathy was beyond the mark and it was hard to understand.

"Jin, what are you going to do?"

"Jin?"

Arriving at the airport, getting off the car, Shi Jinzhi rushed in like a gust of wind, ran to the counter to buy a ticket, the assistant caught up while answering the phone, "Jin, where are you going? Sherly called..."

"Go home."

Shi Jinzhi wiped his face, shook off the assistant's hand, and went to change the boarding pass.Fortunately, she was in Paris at the moment, with all her documents and enough money, so she could take the nearest flight back.

"Going back to China?" The assistant was confused, "Why did you suddenly want to go back to China? What about the concert?"

Shi Jinzhi ignored it and lined up with tears in his eyes.

"No, Jin, you have to explain to Sherly, she will come right away." The assistant pulled her back, causing the people around to stare at him for a while.

"Let go of me...I'm going to find Mao Mao..."

When people are in a panic, they can instinctively speak their mother tongue. Shi Jinzhi struggled with tears in his mouth, which attracted the attention of the police.

When Zi Zixiao arrived, the two of them were almost taken away by the police, and they had to explain and prove it before giving up.

"Are you crazy? What's the fuss?" Ye Zixiao pulled him into a corner, and got angry for the first time.

Facing her agent who she trusts like a mother, she is willing to patiently explain, "My girlfriend has an accident, and I have to go back."

"You go back now, what about the concert? Do you know how much impact your temporary absence will cause? Do you think the orchestra is run by your family? Come and leave as you want? Do you want your reputation? If you are absent today, next time Who will cooperate with you next time? Why don't you hang around in this circle!"

"But my girlfriend is more important, she needs me now."

Ye Zixiao got angry when she heard this, and worried that this was a public place, she suppressed her anger and said in a low voice: "Yesterday she called me and said that she would go back to China to deal with the compensation first, so that it might affect your condition, let me I'll let you know after the concert."

"Really? What else did Mao Mao say?"

"It's gone." Ye Zixiao's face was calm, and he didn't blush when lying, "It's not a bad day for you to go back, and you can fly back immediately after the concert is over, but today, I tell you, you are not allowed to be absent, your hard work is hard work, The same goes for others, including the orchestra and all the staff. And the people here today are all big shots, not just about money, I ask you to have a little contract spirit, okay?"

"But......"

"On a big scale, if you are absent today, you Chinese will lose face. On a small scale, if you are absent, it will cause a lot of psychological burden to your girlfriend. Do you have the heart?"

"..."

Mao Mao is her lifeline.

"Then give me your mobile phone, and I'll tell her first." Sending a text message is also fine.

"It's in the hotel. Return the phone? Do you know how much time you've been wasting running over? Come back with me!"

Ye Zixiao angrily dragged her into the car, holding the boarding pass in his hand, it was useless.

The concert was very smooth, Shi Jinzhi performed steadily, successfully completed his first cooperation with the Paris Symphony Orchestra, and became famous.

There was no excuse for the dinner, so I had to attend the dinner. I didn't see the assistant during the dinner, and Ye Zixiao was too busy with socializing, so I didn't have time to talk to her. She smiled elegantly on the surface, but inside she was like an ant on a hot pot.

After finally waiting until everything is over, I can set off back to London.

"Sister Ye, mobile phone!"

"I put your suitcase, oh, just now I asked Josie to take the suitcase back first." Ye Zixiao frowned, looking remorseful.

Shi · Stupid Ba Ji · Jin Zhi did not doubt that he was there, "Then let me use your mobile phone."

"I'll talk about it when I go back. I'll be there in a while. What's the rush?"

"..."

From Paris to London, it takes just over two hours by Eurostar train.

After arriving in London, the car came to pick her up, but the driver did not take Shi Jinzhi back to the apartment, but drove directly to her own home under Ye Zixiao's order.

"Josie put the luggage with me." One sentence blocked Xiao Bai Cai's mouth about to ask questions.

"..."

Ye Zixiao's house is in the suburbs, it's very big, it's a three-story detached house, and the surroundings are quiet and deserted.

Shi Jin couldn't wait any longer, saw her suitcase, hurriedly opened it and took out her cell phone, and was about to call Maomao.

A hand reached out and snatched the phone away.

"???"

Shi Jinzhi raised her head in a daze, and saw Ye Zi with a gloomy face, snapped her fingers, and four bodyguards in black appeared out of nowhere and stood behind her.

"Sister Ye?"

"Hold her down." Ye Zixiao said coldly, a trace of hostility flashed in his dark eyes.

The bodyguards in black rushed up and pressed Shi Jinzhi firmly on the carpet. She panicked and didn't know why, "What are you doing? Sister Ye, you...?"

Ye Zixiao sneered, walked forward slowly, knelt down and flipped through the small bag in front of her, took out all the documents inside, squeezed them in her hand, and patted her face lightly: "Want to go back to China? Dreaming, give me Stay here honestly, do what I ask you to do, do you understand?"

"You..." Shi Jinzhi looked at her in disbelief, "You are breaking the law! I want to call the police!"

"Report." The slender fingertips pinched her small chin, and the deep brown eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you think the police|the police arrested me, or you, eh?"

After speaking, he got up, put away his documents, took out a small white bottle from the cabinet, unscrewed it, poured out two white pills, and brought a glass of water.

"Come on, take some sedatives and take a rest."

Her smile didn't catch her eyes, she was as dark as a cobra spitting out a red letter, and then she glanced over, and the bearded bodyguard pinched Shi Jinzhi's chin, forcing her to open her mouth.

"Let me go...I won't eat...put...um...vomit..."

The pure white tablet fell into the throat, and the cold liquid flowed down. Shi Jinzhi struggled desperately, choked on a mouthful of water, and swallowed instinctively, and the tablet was swallowed just like that.

The turbulent tears, the heart-piercing cries, the gradually double vision, the ferocious and distorted face of the middle-aged woman.

The seven-year nightmare begins now.

……

"I don't take medicine... let me go..."

"what!!!"

Shi Jinzhi screamed, and opened her eyes suddenly, panting heavily, staring blankly at the snow-white ceiling, with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

The sound woke Fu Baiqiu who was lying on the bedside to take a nap. She raised her head, held the man's trembling hand firmly, and leaned over, "Jinzhi?"

In a trance, a familiar face appeared in sight, Shi Jinzhi thought he was dreaming, his lips opened and closed, and tears burst out: "Maomao..."

"I'm here, I'm here." Fu Baiqiu bowed his head against her face, soothing her gently.

Thank goodness I finally woke up.

"Ugh...Maomao...she won't let me go back...don't let me see you..."

"what?"

"But you don't want me anymore...I can't find you...I can't find you anywhere..." Shi Jinzhi struggled to get up, and hugged her tightly, as if It seems to disappear after a second.

Fu Baiqiu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Jinzhi—"

find her?

Is it...

"Oh, Mao Mao, she gave me medicine, I don't know what it is, once I take it, I can't find it." Shi Jinzhi snuggled into the familiar embrace, crying with tears and snot in his nose.

"Would you blame me...it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to her like that, I shouldn't have signed that contract, I shouldn't have left you alone, woo woo... ..”

My mind was muddled, and my memory was all frozen in July of that year, and then it was all chaotic, with broken pictures one frame after another.

Fu Baiqiu was shocked all over, and said pleasantly: "You remember?"

"what?"

"..."

Empty joy.

With tears in the corners of Shi Jinzhi's eyes, he sniffed his nose, blushed, stared at Fu Baiqiu for a long time, dazed, and gradually calmed down.

She had a dream and went back to seven years ago.

And how to spend these seven years, how to find Mao Mao, many things happened, until now——

"I remember."
