Chu Qiao had learned the drum set in her previous life. 

She had previously only taken piano lessons from the Gu Wen brothers. Her piano instructor had complimented her on her musical ability and even recommended that she pick up a couple other instruments.

Chu Qiao signed up to learn the guzheng and the drum set because she had a lot of free time at home at the time.

She thought it would be good to learn a little bit herself after seeing women playing the guzheng on TV, who appeared ethereal and graceful.

Regarding the drums, she signed up after witnessing a female perform in such a wild and free-spirited manner.

Fortunately, she truly had a talent for music and picked things up quickly. 

While she might not have mastered them completely, she was already quite proficient, and performing a piece was no problem at all. 

Chu Qiao’s shift in stance immediately piqued the audience’s interest.

Seeing a lady play the drums, especially one with such beauty, was quite uncommon. That was a draw in and of itself. 

Tang Yaozu was accompanying Zhao Qian, discussing matters about the pharmaceutical factory while also enjoying the performance. 

When he saw Chu Qiao move over to the drum set, he couldn’t help but smile and said to Zhao Qian, “Xiao Chu is pretty skilled in drumming.”

Zhao Qian looked over, his eyes lighting up. 

In the past, Chu Qiao didn’t really stand out on stage and typically wore plain, light-colored clothing.

Today, however, she was entirely different from her usual soft and modest personality. She was radiant and striking, with a hint of untamed beauty, wearing a bright red dress and makeup.

She captured everyone’s attention on stage by shining even brighter than the spotlight. 

“Miss Chu can play the drums too?” Zhao Qian asked with a smile.

“Yes. She has some talent, she learned from the drummer and plays quite well.” Tang Yaozu explained.

Zhao Qian smiled, a hint of amazement in his eyes. 

It would be impossible not to be moved, beauties like Chu Qiao were rare even in the capital. 

But a friend’s wife was off-limits. Since he was already in business with Gu Ye, he naturally couldn’t break that rule.

Between beauty and wealth, he still preferred the latter. 

With money, what kind of beauty he couldn’t have?

The music started, and Chu Qiao began to play the drums. 

The opening beats were dense and rapid, and she struck them skillfully. 

She had practiced Shy Girl many times, she could play it even with her eyes closed.

To make herself stand out even more, Chu Qiao decided to perform some flashy drumming techniques.

She had learned them from watching TV, they looked impressive, though Tao Wei had once said they were just showy tricks meant to fool amateurs. 

That suited Chu Qiao perfectly, she was doing it precisely to impress people like Xuan Hongxia, who weren’t experts.

Below the stage, Xuan Hongxia and the others watched in fascination as Chu Qiao shone brilliantly. 

Their bodies began to sway unconsciously to the rhythm of the drums. 

More and more men and women poured onto the dance floor, moving wildly to the beat. It was a disco song, with a bright and lively rhythm.

“Xiao Chu plays so well, how amazing she is!”

“What kind of drum is that?” 

“It’s a drum set!”

Gu Ye answered loudly, his eyes never leaving the stage, fixed firmly on his wife. 

It was also his first time seeing her play the drums. 

At this moment, Chu Qiao seemed completely different from her usual self, as if her true nature had been fully unleashed, both wild and beautiful. 

He felt like he liked her even more now, utterly captivated, unable to pull himself away.

Every guest rose to their feet, swaying to the beat of the drums.

The same was true of Xuan Hongxia and the others. Their blood seemed to be boiling, and they had forgotten all of their everyday grievances and complaints.

They just wanted to dance and be joyful right now.

Once upon a time, they too had been young and lively girls who loved singing and dancing. 

However, after being married and starting a family, life’s hardships had eroded their genuine character, making them into so-called “yellow-faced wives” who were always whining.

They ate simple rice porridge with fermented tofu every morning in order to save a few cents, woke up early and worked late in order to win a six-yuan monthly attendance bonus, and squeezed pennies over grocery expenditures every day.
