Chapter 2311: Meeting on a Narrow Path

Regarding things like ballet that sound high-end, to be honest, Su Xinghui hadn't personally been to the scene to watch them in his previous life. After all, such things were not in Chinese culture and were too far from his life. He had only occasionally seen them once or twice on TV.

However, he had to accept the favor of the siblings Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu. One must know that getting these tickets was not easy.

Moreover, ballet is actually very watchable, and its artistry is also very high. For Su Xinghui's art, there are of course things he can learn from. And the Bolshoi Theatre's ballet company is a world-class dance company, so their interpretation was of course very wonderful. Aiming at this, Su Xinghui had to go.

Lu Xiaoya hadn't seen a ballet performance on the scene either, but for such a top-level performance, she naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Besides the Yu siblings and the Su couple, Fan Xinyun also went to watch this ballet performance. She had learned ballet when she was young, but later her ligaments were seriously injured, and she couldn't dance. However, she still had feelings for ballet. So in a sense, the Yu siblings getting tickets for this ballet was not just for Su Xinghui, but even more for their mother.

Being able to watch a world-class classic ballet performance at close range, how lucky was Fan Xinyun?

People like Yu Yan'an had no interest in ballet, and with their status, if they appeared at the scene, it would be too exaggerated. So none of them went to watch this dance drama.

This ballet was performed at the Beijing Grand Theatre. After eating, the group drove to the Beijing Grand Theatre with Yu Ruizhi driving. Now there was still more than half an hour before the dance drama started. It was mainly because Fan Xinyun was very excited and said she wanted to go to the Beijing Grand Theatre after eating, so they arrived a bit early.

The tickets Yu Ruizhi bought were of course the best. Their seats were in the middle of the fifth row. When they arrived here, the theatre was still sparse, with few people.

After Fan Xinyun sat down, Yu Ruoqiu said, "Mom, you have learned ballet, so tell us how to watch ballet."

Fan Xinyun nodded with a smile and said, "Fine, then I will tell you, so you don't act recklessly later and be called country bumpkins by others. Ruizhi, the seats you bought today are good; they are the best positions to watch ballet. Did you find someone to buy them yourself?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "I don't know which positions are good. I told someone to buy me the best positions, and he bought these tickets."

Fan Xinyun said, "The positions here allow you to see the full view of the stage without being too tired. It can be said to be the best position."

Yu Ruizhi said, "As long as the position is good, that means others didn't fool me."

Fan Xinyun said, "When watching ballet, don't applaud recklessly, especially after the actors appear, until the slow movement; you can't applaud. Not only can you not applaud, but you can't talk, and you even have to hold your breath to appreciate it silently."

Yu Ruoqiu asked, "Mom, what is a slow movement?"

Only then did Fan Xinyun realize that her children basically didn't understand these terms. It wasn't that she didn't teach her daughter, but the daughter's personality was completely different from hers. The daughter had liked dancing with swords and sticks since she was a child and had no interest in these girls' things.

Fan Xinyun had once thought about letting her daughter learn ballet because her daughter's physical condition was very good and she was good material for learning ballet. But the daughter just wasn't interested in this, playing with boys every day, even cutting her hair very short. Fan Xinyun could only give up.

Unexpectedly, now the daughter had grown long hair, which was already waist-length, and there was much more feminine softness on her body. Now she was even watching ballet and diligently asking her about those ballet terms, which made Fan Xinyun very happy.

However, for some reason, Fan Xinyun felt a bit of inexplicable sadness. She understood her daughter's thoughts a little, but her daughter's thoughts were destined to have no results. And the boys suitable for her daughter were really too few. She once thought You Jiayu was a suitable candidate, but facts proved that she had misjudged him.

Now Fan Xinyun no longer forced her daughter to go on blind dates. She was afraid that if she found someone as unreliable as You Jiayu again, it would ruin her daughter's life. It was better to let her daughter find someone she liked herself.

Fan Xinyun couldn't help but glance at Su Xinghui. She collected her thoughts and began to tell them some knowledge about ballet.

What is a fouetté, what is a pirouette, what is a grand pas de deux, how the ballet dancers' techniques fit with the music, what are the etiquette for watching the performance, where you can applaud, and where you must be quiet—she explained them all in great detail.

As the performance time was about to start, more people entered. Just as Fan Xinyun was explaining ballet knowledge, a voice came from behind, "Yo, Xinyun, you are also here to watch the dance drama?"

Fan Xinyun looked back and saw it was Jiang Yinghui. Her face had a smile, and she seemed to be happy to see a friend. But Fan Xinyun, who was familiar with Jiang Yinghui, could naturally see that there was a trace of a sneer between Jiang Yinghui's eyebrows, as well as bone-deep hatred.

Fan Xinyun couldn't help but frown. She naturally knew why Jiang Yinghui had such an expression because of You Jiayu's matter. The two former friends had now almost reached the point of turning into enemies.

Fan Xinyun didn't come alone. Beside her was a young woman who looked to be about thirty years old. The young woman looked very much like Fan Xinyun and was very beautiful. However, her lips were very thin, making her look a bit mean, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

This was Jiang Yinghui's youngest daughter, You Jiayu's sister, You Jiayao.

Fan Xinyun's frown only lasted for a second. The next second, her frown relaxed, "Yinghui is also here? I remember you didn't seem to like ballet very much."

Jiang Yinghui said, "Why, only you are allowed to watch ballet, and I am not?"

Fan Xinyun certainly didn't mean that. It was just that when the two met, she had nothing else to say; it was just a way of greeting. But who would have thought that Jiang Yinghui's words were full of thorns.

Fan Xinyun hurriedly said, "Yinghui, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that."
