Proofread by Liang Yaping

The joyful note of piano echoes in the piano room, which even pleases the servants downstairs.

Originally, they worried that this daughter of Song family would be hard to get along with. However, unexpectedly, this girl is not only delicate and gentle, but also noble and elegant in speech and action.

Song Qinghuan is always gentle and polite even in the presence of the servants. In this hot summer, she impresses others in such a pleasant manner that they feel like bathing in a gentle breeze.

After Song Qinghuan’s rebirth, her memory becomes more and more amazing. She rewrites all the songs she wrote in her previous life, revises and polishes them. After her revisions, the songs are much better than those she wrote in her previous life.

The Song family also has several properties in Wanning City, the capital city. The villa where Song Qinghuan lives now is under the name of the old lady. After Qinghuan’s admission to Xinghan Conservatory of music, servants are ordered to serve her in the villa. The instruments in the piano room including piano, violin and cello were set here under the order of the old lady before Song Qinghuan came, all of which are famous brands.

However, Song Qinghuan plans to give up playing the piano. In her previous life, all her hobbies and even her life were planned by Song family. She had no freedom and lived like a puppet at the mercy of others.

Song Qinghuan decides to live for herself after her rebirth.

The screen of the mobile phone next to the music score lights up. There is a text.

“Playboy: leaving me alone? ”

Song Qinghuan glances at her phone and continues to practice. This piece of music is cheerful. Song Qinghuan is familiar with every scale.

Maybe it is Xu Ningzhou’s message that interrupts her, and suddenly the scene of the afternoon at the seaside comes to her mind.

The warm sea wind blew her long black hair. When Song Qinghuan realized it, Xu Ningzhou’s face was suddenly within reach. However, when Xu Ningzhou was about to kiss her, Song Qinghuan pushed Xu ningzhou’s head away with her fingers on his forehead.

Not long ago, she just regarded Xu Ningzhou as a gentleman. But, just now, Song Qinghuan changed her attitude and named him playboy!

Xu Ningzhou blinked his eyes with confusion. When he saw Song Qinghuan’s joking eyes and smiling face, he finally woke up and understood how flirty he was.

Xu Ningzhou wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by the ring of Song Qinghuan’s cell phone. The call was from the old lady who worried a lot about Song Qinghuan in that the housekeeper told her Song Qinghuan had not arrived.

At first, the old lady had planned to send someone to pick up Song Qinghuan at the airport, but she refused.

Song Qinghuan coaxed the old lady softly. After hanging up the phone, she smiled at Xu Ningzhou and said, “My family is worried about me. Please give me a ride, Mr. Xu.”

She was gentle and polite, but there was much alienation in her eyes. Xu Ningzhou was frustrated for the first time. He also knew that the more he said, the worse his situation was, so he obediently sent Song Qinghuan back.

“Knock.”

The knock on the door interrupts Song Qinghuan’s thoughts. The door of the piano room is not closed tightly.

“Come in.” Song Qinghuan stops playing the piano. She is sitting on the piano bench, holding a pen in her hand and scribbling on her personal music book.

An old man in black suit with grey opens the door of the piano room. He is the housekeeper in the villa. The old man comes in and bends down, saying “Miss, dinner is almost ready. You can have a rest first.”

After his words, he is still slightly drooping his eyelids. His tone is cold but respectful, but from the beginning to the end his eyes never fall on Song Qinghuan.

Song Qinghuan pauses her hand for a while and raises her head, saying with a smile, “Got it, Mr. Rong.”

After Mr. Rong’s leaving, Song Qinghuan has no interest at all. She squints her eyes and looks at the direction where he leaves.

Mr. Rong, the old housekeeper, has been in Song family for many years. Before that, he was in charge of the old house. This time, the old lady sends him to Wanning not only to take care of Song Qinghuan, but also Song Mingxiu and Song Shuyao, who will arrive here by plane in a few days.

In her previous life, the old housekeeper was a great help who helped Xia Runan to fight for status in Song family. When she intended to run from Xia Runan who locked her up, this old housekeeper took her back with others and nearly broke her legs, which made her dare not to escape anymore.

Seemingly, the old man comes with the permission of the old lady, but in fact, he is an “eye” of Xia Runan, an evil woman who penetrates every corner of her life.

However, it doesn’t matter. Song Qinghuan closes her composition book. She has already given Song Lan, her aunt in name only, some evidence that Xia Runan trapped the old lady.

In Song family’s struggle for power, Ms. Song Lan is much stronger than her two brothers.

Song Qinghuan has finally met Song Shuyao the night before the school day. As expected, Song Mingxiu postpones his trip.

Song Shuyao’s face is pale. She looks so tired that the concealer fails to cover the dark circles under her eyes. Surprisingly, they do not quarrel at all this time.

Although Song Qinghuan didn’t spend her days with Song family, she has learned from Nanny Wu what happened in Song family these days. Song Lan is an iron lady who has been able to hold a leading position in the foreign branches of Song family these years.

Maybe they are of the same kind, so Song Lan hates Xia Lunan extremely. Although she has been abroad in recent years, her ambition has outreached foreign branches. After receiving the anonymous email from Song Qinghuan, she doesn’t confront Xia Lunan immediately. Instead, she begins to investigate Xia Lunan in private.

Song Lan digs deeper than the private detective employed by Song Qinghuan, bringing out more sensational things.

Xia Lunan, who takes 5% of Song’s shares, initially serves as general secretary of Song Yueming and later is promoted as the company’s chief financial officer.

Song Lan obtains the evidence that Xia Runan abused her power for kickbacks.

Now comes out the hard fact that Xia Runan bribed the old lady’s personal doctor to change the medicine for her. In the early stage, this kind of medicine will only make her in low spirits and reduce her immunity. But after a long time, it will cause harm to the old lady’s brain and nervous system.

To put it in a professional way, the old lady will have Alzheimer disease much sooner!

Song Lan takes all the evidence and goes to find the old lady directly, so in less than a week, changes befall Song family.

In her previous life, Song Lan failed to come back from abroad after the old lady died of illness. This time, it turns upside down.

Song Qinghuan, under the surveillance of Mr. Rong, spends every day either in the piano room or in the gym doing a series of aerobic exercises, pretending that she is oblivious of the outside world, even Xu Ningzhou can’t find her.

As the top-notch music institute in China, Xinghan has its own management system, and one of the clear regulations is that students must live on campus.

Other people may not be satisfied with this one, but Song Qinghuan feels that God blesses her. Because living on campus is a stepping-stone for her to escape from the control of Song family.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Song Qinghuan has completed the enrollment procedure, and when she opens her dormitory door with the key, unexpectedly, she sees a familiar face.
