Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 651 - 653: Music Moves the Heart

Xu Nian’an left Beining University and did not rush back to school but went to the Liunian Factory instead.

In the past six months, Liunian’s products had exploded in popularity. Whether it was perfume or hand cream, they had received widespread recognition. Even Xu Nian’an, a man, had learned about Liunian’s hand cream through other students’ recommendations. It was exceptionally good at preventing frostbite and cracks. Particularly, some students suffered from cracked heels, but after applying the hand cream, their heels would return to normal within a week. They weren’t as delicate as a girl’s, but at least they looked like normal skin and not dry and flaky as before.

Thus, through word of mouth, Xu Nian’an had also come to know about Liunian.

Xu Nian’an, who had always been in touch over the phone, was visiting the factory for the first time, and the factory building was quite impressive.

He was lucky; just as he arrived at the factory entrance, he ran into Ling Dong, who was coming out to fetch some items.

"Brother Ling Dong," Xu Nian’an immediately greeted.

"Aren’t you supposed to be in school?"

Ling Dong looked at Xu Nian’an somewhat surprised.

"I have afternoon classes, but I have some urgent matters and need your help," Xu Nian’an said, appearing slightly embarrassed. It seemed awkward to ask for help since they weren’t related.

"Come with me."

Ling Dong led Xu Nian’an into the office, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Brother Cheng will be back tomorrow, tell me what’s the issue slowly, there’s no hurry."

"It’s like this," Xu Nian’an prepared his words carefully before speaking, "My younger sister is not biologically related to my parents. She was found and brought home twenty-one years ago. Now, her biological parents have come forward, but I suspect they aren’t sincerely looking to acknowledge her as their daughter. So, I hoped to find someone to gather some information. I don’t know anyone who could help with this, which is why I wanted to ask for your assistance, Brother Ling Dong. We can discuss the price."

Xu Nian’an turned to Ling Dong because of what Ji Shuqin had told him – even the local thugs lending money at high interest rates were afraid of Ling Dong and would respectfully call him ’Brother Dong’.

He thought, if he wanted to find out about the Gu Family’s issues discreetly, Ling Dong was the right person to approach.

"Nian’an, if Brother Cheng knew I took money from you, he would give me a hard time," Ling Dong rolled his eyes at him and said, "I’m heading to South City tomorrow and will make sure to clarify things as soon as possible."

...

Xu Nianhua was aimlessly wandering around the school, trying hard to recall the past. It had been so long that she could only remember fragments of those memories.

Moreover, they were not particularly pleasant memories. After her revenge, Xu Nianhua had not heard anything from the Gu Family again.

Thus, it really was hard for her to recall those initial details all of a sudden.

Her brows were deeply furrowed when suddenly, a wave of beautiful music reached her ears, and she found herself involuntarily stopping. She followed the sound to the music classroom. It wasn’t the official class time, and in the classroom, only Su Xi sat in front of the piano.

Su Xi wore a bright red dress, its fiery hue stark against the black and white piano keys, and the delightful musical notes seemed like little sprites diving into the deepest corners of one’s heart, bringing a serene calm to her entire being. In this piano melody, she felt as though she too was being lifted to a higher plane.

Xu Nianhua stood at the doorway, her whole being immersed in the piano music, dispelling the irritations and entanglements deep within her heart. Her restless mind, in this moment, also became tranquil.
