Chapter 288: Changing face so fast
Chapter 288: Changing face so fast
Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but look at the person who made the sound. He was a man with a rather gorgeous appearance, like a purple mandala, charming and mysterious.
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry." She apologized again.
Qingluan was still angry, wondering who was the one who was so blind. But when he looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Qingyuan standing in front of him with an apologetic look on his face, he was stunned for a moment.
Was he mistaken? The woman he had accidentally seen today was the one he had bumped into here.
Seeing that he was silent, Gu Qingyuan thought that she had knocked him silly. It was true, the other party was a weak man, and she had practiced martial arts, so it was a good thing that she didn't knock him down with that collision just now.
"I'm fine." Qingluan lowered his head and said.
At this moment, a man who had been taking care of Qingluan ran over. Seeing him here, he urged, "Hey, why are you still here? The boss only asked you to come back for a while. You need to continue the performance later."
The "big boss" the man was referring to was the madam. Originally, he just wanted Qingluan to play a song to whet the people's appetite, but perhaps after seeing his performance, everyone else's performance seemed a little inferior.
Qingluan asked in confusion, "Wuyan, but didn't the boss say that I could only play one song today?"
Wu Yan explained, "Someone just paid a large sum of money and said they wanted to see you play again. So the boss asked me to come and get you. Go change your clothes."
Qingluan suddenly felt some pain in her abdomen, and her face turned pale for a moment.
Wu Yan looked at him, then looked at Gu Qingyuan beside him.
I saw that this person had an extraordinary demeanor and was different from the other women who came to the building.
Could it be that Qingluan’s top performer just now wanted to seduce this girl?
"Wu Yan, I'm not feeling well today..."
Qingluan said this weakly, but with a hint of pleading.
"So, could you please tell the boss for me? I'm afraid I can't continue to perform on stage like this."
Wuyan was a little embarrassed. He was just a messenger, and the nobleman had paid fifty taels of silver and specifically asked Qingluan, the top performer, to perform a song.
Gu Qingyuan heard from their conversation that the person she had just accidentally bumped into was a waiter in the Zuihonglou. He looked so uncomfortable that it didn't seem like he was pretending.
Helplessly, Qingluan had to turn around and follow Wuyan back to change clothes.
Gu Qingyuan looked at Qingluan's waist slightly bent due to pain and felt a little guilty.
Could it be that the stomachache was caused by the bump I made? From this perspective, I am the culprit.
Moreover, Zuihonglou is now her business, and it is not a good behavior of a boss to let "employees" go to work while sick.
Therefore, Gu Qingyuan went downstairs to find the madam without hesitation.
The two came to a secluded place.
At present, only the madam knew her true identity. After seeing her, the madam became much more polite.
Gu Qingyuan asked straight to the point, "Is there a man in your building who likes to wear purple clothes and has purple eyes?"
The madam thought she had taken a fancy to Qingluan and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, his name is Qingluan, and he's our top prostitute. Could it be that Young Master Gu has taken a fancy to him?"
Gu Qingyuan shook his head and said, "I didn't notice him when I went downstairs just now and bumped into him. Now he has a stomachache and I wonder if it's related to this. I think we should let him have a good rest today."
The madam's eyes rolled and she knew what Qingluan was planning.
Instead of staying in his room, he insisted on coming out and happened to run into Young Master Gu.
He thought Qingluan was really itching for trouble and deserved a beating.
"Oh, it's just a stomachache, you won't die." The madam said nonchalantly.
After all, he had seen many men killed by women in the building, as well as all kinds of disabled people. Some people like disabled people, and it's called "Mu Can".
Even he himself often felt uncomfortable when disciplining those people.
Gu Qingyuan continued, "But I don't think he's pretending to be upset, so let's forget about it today."
The madam was a little anxious.
"But today a nobleman paid fifty taels of silver just to listen to Qingluan play a piece of music."
Gu Qingyuan took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and said, "So?"
The madam immediately smiled and said, "If you're not feeling well, you should rest well. Besides, today should be his menstrual period. I'll have someone make him some brown sugar water."
The speed at which his expression changed shocked Gu Qingyuan.
In the room upstairs.
Even after applying a lot of powder, it was difficult to hide Qingluan's haggard face.
He placed his hands on his lower abdomen, trying to ease the pain.
Wuyan persuaded: "Just bear with it for a while, I will redraw your eyebrows for you."
Qingluan didn't say anything, and let Wuyan fiddle with his face like a beautiful ornament.
He changed into a new set of clothes. Compared with the previous one, this set of clothes outlined his waist well, and his hair was also braided.
After drawing the eyebrows, Wuyan took out several boxes of lip balm of different colors, tried the color on him first, and then wiped it off and applied another one if he felt it was not suitable.
Cold sweat broke out on Qingluan's forehead because of the pain.
He pinched his palms and found it difficult to breathe.
Finally, Wuyan finished putting makeup on him and planned to take him downstairs.
However, at this moment, Wangcai, who was beside the madam, appeared.
Wu Yan said flatteringly: "I have already packed up the top star, and he will be going down to perform soon. Go back and tell the boss not to be angry."
Qingluan tried hard to control his emotions. The pain in his body had not eased. He had just played a wrong note. He just hoped that this performance would go smoothly.
However, Wangcai said, "The boss said that Qingluan's top performer is on her period today, so let him have a good rest."
Qingluan began to doubt her ears.
Even Wuyan was stunned. "But didn't the boss say that the top performer must go today? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"
Wangcai said impatiently, "I've delivered the message. Someone will come over to bring you some brown sugar water later."
After that, Wangcai went downstairs.
Qingluan and Wuyan were left standing there, looking at each other.
When did the boss take care of them so much? You know, even though Qingluan is the top girl, she has never been allowed to rest because of her menstrual period.
Even when other men in the building were tortured to death by guests, the boss would only say that it was what they deserved. Taking care of the guests' feelings was the most important thing.
Wuyan saw with his own eyes that when a young waiter was carried down, there was not a single part of his body that was intact and he was only breathing his last breath.
Their boss was reluctant to call a doctor, so he threw the dying man out.
