Lulu was one of the dance hall’s top earners, selling a significant amount of alcohol every night. 

Her absence for at least a week would mean substantial losses for the business, and all of this thanks to Zheng Wei.  

Moreover, he deeply despised Zheng Wei’s ungrateful behavior. 

In his view, a person should have a conscience and a sense of integrity. 

Zheng Wei fell short as a person, though she might have been decent as a hostess.  

Zheng Wei was so frightened that she stopped crying, even letting out a hiccup. 

Her expression was one of sheer terror. 

Tang Yaozong’s tattoos of the Four Symbols, such as Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Scarlet Phoenix, and Black Tortoise, added to his intimidating presence, making him seem even more formidable. 

Combined with his tall, sturdy build and stern expression, Zheng Wei trembled in fear, her legs going weak.  

“If you don’t want to work, don’t show up so early. It’s not your shift yet. If you want to sell drinks, go sell them, but don’t cause trouble here!” 

Tang Yaozong barked.

Though he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, Tang Yaozong had spent enough time in the dance hall to develop a keen eye for people. 

Zheng Wei was clearly the type who could be easily swayed by a bit of money, any man who married her would undoubtedly be cheated.  

“Wahhh……”  

Unable to bear the humiliation, Zheng Wei burst into tears and ran off. 

Tang Yaozong snorted dismissively before turning to Chu Qiao with a smile, his demeanor completely shifted.  

Chu Qiao smiled back, grateful for Tang Yaozong’s intervention. 

She took the opportunity to ask about Lulu, who had been working at the dance hall for quite some time. 

Tang Yaozong might know something about her situation.  

“She’s definitely single. If she were married, she wouldn’t be here selling drinks. She has a daughter who’s sick. She’s from out of town and came to Shanghai years ago to seek treatment for her child.” 

Tang Yaozong explained.

His older brother had even referred a few specialists, but the little girl’s condition was difficult to treat. 

Lulu had spent all her earnings, yet her daughter’s health showed no improvement. 

The doctors said a heart transplant was the best choice, but donor hearts were rare, the child was too young for such a high-risk surgery, and the cost was far too much beyond Lulu’s budget.  

“Is it a heart disease?” Chu Qiao asked.  

Tang Yaozong nodded. 

“Congenital heart disease, quite severe. It cost a fortune just to keep her alive, and now she needs medication every day.”  

Chu Qiao sighed softly. 

It was just as she had suspected, An’an had congenital heart disease.  

“Where is the child’s father?” Chu Qiao asked curiously.  

Tang Yaozong shook his head. 

“I’m not sure. Lulu never mentions her father. Her household registration records list her as  single.”

He guessed she had probably been deceived by a man. 

Many young women fell for smooth-talking scoundrels, some girls just had a thing for pretty boys, not realizing that those charming faces often hid maliciousness. 

A steady, reliable man like him was far more dependable, but unfortunately, young women rarely understood that.  

Once the break was over, Chu Qiao returned to playing the piano. 

Backstage, she spotted Zheng Wei sitting in a corner, looking dejected, with two young men comforting her, the band’s drummer and guitarist, who seemed quite close to her.  

When Zheng Wei saw Chu Qiao, her eyes reddened, and she suddenly buried her face in her hands, sobbing as if she had suffered a great injustice. 

Chu Qiao responded with a cold laugh, seeing right through the act.  

Just then, a tall, strikingly beautiful girl walked in. 

She was the band’s lead singer, Jian Yun, dressed in trendy fashion, shoulder-length wavy hair, bold red lips, and earrings as large as fists that glittered under the lights. 

She wore a tight-fitting short dress and knee-high boots, an outfit which remained stylish even thirty years later.  

“If you want to cry, you can cry at home. You’re bringing down the mood!”  

Jian Yun snapped impatiently in Zheng Wei’s direction. 

Her voice was slightly hoarse but magnetic, with a unique quality. 

Yet, she always ended up singing Teresa Teng’s soft, sweet love songs. 

Chu Qiao felt that this girl wasn’t really suited for Teresa Teng’s style, it didn’t let her true potential shine. 

But she hadn’t quite figured out what genre would suit Jian Yun best either. 

Jian Yun didn’t know either, bouncing between dance halls and bars, making a respectable livelihood but never quite finding her niche.
