duan songqiao had rarely appeared in public in recent years, and most of the company’s affairs had been handed over to duan linbai.

even though they had never seen him in person, everyone had seen him on many financial news.

he was the richest man in the country.

only the school leaders smiled and went over to greet him. ” ” president duan, mrs. duan, when did you arrive? ”

“it’s been a while,” duan songqiao was very polite to him. ” vice-chancellor fang, i’m really sorry. the two children have caused you trouble. ”

“i’m really sorry for wasting everyone’s time.”

“for such an accident to happen in such a setting.”

” this … ” no one had expected that the duan family would be the first to apologize.

duan songqiao and duan linbai looked very similar, but due to the passage of time, he appeared very reserved. he wore a suit and spoke without any airs.

“mr. xu, what else do you have to say that we can talk in private? if you’re worried that the duan family will take advantage of our power to bully you, you can let the reporters you trust follow you. we’ll just talk about the two children.”

“don’t worry, i won’t bring any bodyguards with me. i won’t do anything to you.”

“and i won’t be so rough with you.”

duan songqiao had been in the business world for many years, so he naturally knew how to control his words.

she knew what to say that would hurt her, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

in comparison, the duan family was obviously here to support xu jiamu, and the other party was completely destroyed.

at this time, xu peimin had already lost all face. he even used his last trump card, but xu jiamu was determined, so he couldn’t gain any advantage.

“mr. xu, this way please.” xiaojiang walked over and motioned for him to leave through the side door.

” mr. xu, ” the school said, ” if you continue to be unreasonable and behave like this in school, we’ll call the police immediately! ”

xu peimin gritted his teeth and left with little jiang.

“mrs. xu?” someone had invited mother xu and xu xin to leave together, so the reporters who were previously hesitant did not dare to approach. they took a few photos from a distance and immediately disappeared into the crowd.

“mu zi?” lin yuxian walked to xu jiamu’s side. ” follow me. ”

xu jiamu didn’t expect the duan family to come either. he felt ashamed and angry. although he followed her, he couldn’t face her.

however, the two of them did not follow the group of people in front of them into the lounge of the stadium. lin yuxian led her directly into the bathroom.

” wash your face. i’ll do some makeup for you. you’re usually busy, so you should dress up for such an important day. you’ll be going on stage later. are you going to go on stage without any makeup? ”

lin yuxian didn’t mention it at all. instead, he took out a powder air cushion, an eyebrow pencil, and a lipstick from his bag.

xu jiamu was a little ill at ease. ” … they … ”

after all, xu peimin and the others had been taken away by duan songqiao.

” leave these things to these men to handle. don’t worry about it. it has nothing to do with you. hurry up and wash your face. your graduation ceremony is about to start … ”

music started playing outside, probably a short film.

xu jiamu tucked his hair behind his ears and washed his face with water.

the cold water fell on her face and stimulated her. she was finally awake …

she knew that everything just now was true.

“one must look forward, don’t always think about whether the decision you made was right or not. you’re the only one who knows how comfortable your life is.”

“don’t be afraid of anything. you have to believe that you are stronger than anyone else.”

“there’s nothing i can’t get over …”

xu jiamu only listened carefully, letting lin yuxian tease his face.

when she returned to the museum, the master’s student representative was giving a speech, and there was a little undergraduate girl in a black bachelor’s uniform, holding a manuscript, ready to go on stage.

when she saw her, she only sweetly called her ‘senior’.

xu jiamu smiled at her and bent back to his seat. her classmates urged her to quickly put on her uniform, as she was about to go on stage to award her degree.

after the student and teacher representatives finished their speeches, it was the ph.d. students ‘turn to go on stage. the principal would personally award them their degrees and complete the plucking ceremony.

when xu jiamu reappeared in front of everyone.

she was wearing a red and black academic robe and a black academic hat with red tassels hanging on one side. in addition, she had put on a little makeup. her eyes were firm and indestructible.

he went on stage, shook hands with the leaders, bowed slightly, and let them pluck the tassels. then, it was time for the group photo.

“congratulations, good luck.” the principal, who was plucking her tassels, held her hand.

“thank you,” he said.

she nodded and smiled …

the soft waves were like spring water, so beautiful that it dazzled the eyes.

this photo was posted online by many media outlets from different angles.

the girl in the photo was smiling like a flower, but her eyes were glistening with tears. under the camera, it was as if she had rubbed the stars in the milky way into her eyes. her expression was solemn, but you could always see a little tenderness on her face.

what happened at the scene was not broadcasted live by the media. it was only a simple statement of the conflict and the broken family relationship.

everyone could always piece together some truth from the bits and pieces of the media.

many photos of xu jiamu appeared on the university’s campus forum and weibo.

she was probably the most beautiful graduate of the medical university this year.

she was impeccable in terms of both her looks and education. some people criticized her family, but no one could choose where she came from, so they always took pity on her.

xu jiamu had to go around fu chen to get off the stage. he glanced at his seat from the corner of his eye, but duan linbai wasn’t there.

she bit her lip and suddenly felt a little disappointed.

“congratulations,” xu yuanfei was the closest to her, and she mouthed her congratulations to her.

xu jiamu nodded at her, but he still felt a little anxious in front of fu chen and the others. after all, what had happened before was really embarrassing.

when she returned to her seat, she sent a message to duan linbai, asking him where he was and how things were going.

before he could reply, he received a message from xu xin.

[ sister che, congratulations on your graduation. we’ll be going back first. ]

although he used to work, his salary was mostly to pay for the broken plates. he didn’t have much money, but he still gave her a 520 yuan red packet.

[ just accept it. i’ll treat you to a meal. i’ve spent a lot of money all these years … ]

[ sister che, i’m sorry. ]

xu jiamu stared at his phone screen, his eyes starting to sting.

at this time, music came from the stage. she looked up and saw someone dancing. they were not at a degree awarding ceremony or a graduation ceremony. they had to celebrate. the school had also chosen a few programs, mostly singing and dancing, praising the school and celebrating their graduation.

this kind of song and dance was usually more formal. to be honest, there was nothing special to watch.

xu jiamu sniffed and caught a glimpse of the duan family’s parents sitting nearby. he smiled and greeted them, but duan linbai still hadn’t returned.

where did this person go …

at this moment, the teacher in charge of the interlude said, ” ” next, let’s welcome the young musician, duan linbai, with a warm round of applause. he will be performing a piano solo for us. ”

ha?

a young performer?

duan linbai?

the audience completely exploded.

even xu jiamu was dumbfounded. when was he going to participate in a performance? why didn’t she know?

” damn, are you guys really big brother duan’s fans? before he went into the sea, he was the most famous artist in the country, okay? ”

” he has won countless awards and even represented the country in competitions. you guys don’t even know all these and you’re still saying that you’re his fans? ”

“we mainly look at the face.”

……

at this moment, song fengwan also incredulously moved to fu chen’s side. ” “performer? are you serious?”

fu chen narrowed his eyes. ” in fact, according to his age, he’s considered a performing artist of the older generation in this industry. ”

song fengwan almost vomited blood. what the hell?

however, at this time, duan linbai, who was wearing a white suit, had already appeared on the stage. at this time, whether it was the students present or the audience in front of the computer, they were all excited.

this was because it had been many years since duan linbai’s last public performance. after all, a certain someone was not in that circle now.

at this moment, there was a spotlight on him on the stage, and there was a man and a woman in charge of dancing behind him. when he sat by the piano, he placed his index finger on his lips and gestured for the audience to keep quiet.

a certain someone was good-looking and was dressed in white, handsome and ethereal.

the main thing was that this action didn’t stop everyone from cheering. instead, it caused an even louder wave of cheers …

many of the school leaders shook their heads.

what’s wrong with these children now? they’re giving a speech on stage, but they’re not so excited!

however, the music soon stopped as he played the piano …

this was xu jiamu’s first time seriously watching duan linbai play the piano. she suddenly understood why so many people on the internet wanted to marry him.

” gamu, what’s lord duan doing? is he going to propose to you? ” someone mumbled.

xu jiamu’s pupils shrank, and his entire body trembled.

propose?

that can’t be, they haven’t even reached that stage.

“third master fu is here, his friends are here, and even his parents are here. i’m telling you, he’s definitely going to propose.”

at this moment, duan linbai’s heart was filled with anxiety.

he’d practiced this song for many days, but at this moment, he knew that xu jiamu was looking at him. he also had many important things to do next, so he was really nervous.

whoosh!

” duan linbai, don’t be nervous. you can do it. you love music and you were born for music. how can you not be able to control a tune?

you are a music prodigy!

fu chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him. propose?

he wanted to leave the scene …
