Extra Story - Zhao Qiuhua
"Come on, nan, take whatever you like, and grandma will buy it!" Yang Wanru pointed to the neat rows of children's clothes in front of her and said to the little girl in her arms.
The little girl looked three or four years old, with big eyes, a small nose, and a delicate princess dress that looked very cute.
"Mom, I have enough clothes for nan, I came out today to accompany you to buy clothes." Zhao Qiuhua walked to the little girl and rubbed her hair, "Nan, nan, tell grandma that you have enough clothes."
As Shen Hongji officially took over Shen's Media, Shen Hongji and Zhao Qiuhua also moved out of the Shen family's old house and moved to the city center of Xiangjiang.
Because of the mistakes he made with his first two children, Zhao Qiuhua attached great importance to Shen Jiayin's education. For example, when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation, Zhao Qiuhua's philosophy has always been to advocate simplicity and avoid extravagance, which is completely different from Yang Wanru's idea.
"Enough? How can a girl's clothes be enough? Qiuhua, I have no objection to you being diligent and thrifty. This girl is the daughter of our Shen family, and she is born to enjoy it." She looked down on Zhao Qiuhua in particular. Such a homely look.
When she heard her granddaughter tell her in a Nuo Nuo voice that she had enough clothes for Nan Nan, there was no need to buy any more. While Yang Wanru felt sorry for her sensible granddaughter, her dissatisfaction with Zhao Qiuhua also reached the highest point.
She even had the idea of bringing Nannan to the old house and taking her to the old house. When Zhao Qiuhua took her down, she took away the spirit of the eldest lady of the Shen family.
Thinking like this, Yang Wanru stood up and turned around in front of the children's clothes with Shen Jiayin in her arms. Then she turned her head and said softly to the shopping guide, "Don't send the rest except those that are too exaggerated."
The joy on the young shopping guide's face almost overflowed. She nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Mrs. Shen. Are these clothes sent to Mrs. Shen for you or Mrs. Shen?"
Yang Wanru glanced at Zhao Qiuhua and snorted, "Send it to me!"
A group of shopping guides bowed to send Yang Wanru and Zhao Qiuhua away, and the grand scene of two rows of people bowing at the same time attracted the attention of many people.
Among them is a cleaning aunt in the mall.
"Who is that, with such a grand style." Yang Zhaodi cautiously asked the colleague beside him.
Yang Zhaodi is from the inland. She went to Xiangjiang with her husband two years ago. When she arrived in Xiangjiang, she realized that the legendary Xiangjiang was not as good as the people in the town said.
There are indeed big cars and big houses here, but these are not affordable for the people at the bottom of the Xiangjiang River. The shopping malls here cost hundreds of dollars a pair, and the houses here are even more expensive. The director of their logistics department, on weekdays He was arrogant, and he lived in a small house of 20 square meters, which was far worse than their yard in the town.
Yang Zhaodi sometimes really regrets it. What's wrong with staying in her hometown, but she has to learn to smuggle it. It's hard to go back now.
"What do you mean by them?" At the same time, he raised his head and glanced at it, "Does Heung Kong Daily know? They belong to the Shen family. Those are Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xiao Shen."
"Xiangjiang Daily? Is it the Hong Kong Daily that is sold at the magazine stand? That's not the government's? It's personal?" This simply subverts Yang Zhaodi's three views. This newspaper is so important, how can it be private
"Of course, the Hong Kong Daily is the signature of the Shen family. In this Hong Kong, apart from the media king Shao Qidong, no one can compare to the Shen family in the media sector."
Shen family, Shen family. Yang Zhaodi murmured and stared at Zhao Qiuhua's back without blinking. The more she looked, the more familiar this person became.
"That, is Mrs. Xiao Shen?"
"Yes. Mrs. from a wealthy family. Look at our age. We are about the same age as Mrs. Shen. We are different from others." The colleague sighed and continued to wipe it with a rag.
Yang Zhaodi frowned slightly, and dragged her to the ground absentmindedly, the Shen family? Mrs. Shen
After get off work, Yang Zhaodi was busy.
Hong Kong is a place with a very developed news industry, especially entertainment news. Xiangjiang paparazzi are famous all over the world.
The Hong Kong giants have always been one of the key targets of the paparazzi. Because of his outstanding appearance and the halo of being a scholar in his student days, Shen Honggene has been widely concerned by the Hong Kong media since he was a child, and his marriage partner is naturally the focus of the media.
A classmate from the school days, a mainlander, and his father is a senior official in the mainland. Yang Zhaodi watched all the way, and when she saw the Chinese name of Mrs. Shen, Chris Zhao Qiuhua, she jumped up abruptly.
is her! It's really her!
"Old Deng! Old Deng!, we have made a fortune!"
The next day, Yang Zhaodi waited early at the gate of Heung Kong Daily, stretching her neck to watch a car drive by.
This can't be done, it's impossible to tell if the person in the car is Zhao Qiuhua.
Yang Zhaodi was anxious and took two steps into the building.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" The security guard dutifully stopped this sneaky woman.
He looked up and down at Yang Zhaodi, "This is the office area of Heung Kong Daily, and non-workers are not allowed to enter."
Yang Zhaodi was glanced at by the contemptuous eyes of the security guard, and her heart couldn't contain her fire. She held her chest out, "I'm a friend of your Mrs. Shen, I'm here to find her!"
Mrs. Shen's friend
The security guard looked at Yang Zhaodi again, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't associate the woman in front of him with Mrs. Xiao Shen.
"I've seen people like you a lot. Mrs. Shen can't be seen by anyone who wants to see her. Hurry up, get out, get out!" The security guard waved impatiently, trying to drive people out. At the same time, another security guard also walked in this direction.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Yang Zhaodi couldn't care less, and shouted: "Zhao Qiuhua, Zhao Qiuhua, I'm the sister-in-law of the Deng family, come out quickly, come out quickly."
Yang Zhaodi was full of anger, and the voice was so loud that it could be heard on the floor. It's working time now, and many people look over and make a soft discussion sound at the same time.
Zhao Qiuhua has been in charge of the editorial department of Hong Kong Daily for a while, and naturally has her own confidants. Yang Zhaodi's actions quickly spread to her ears.
Zhao Qiuhua's heart throbbed at first, and what followed was not panic and fear, but a sense of trance that finally came.
"Bring her up." Zhao Qiuhua ordered softly.
"Okay, editor-in-chief." The secretary went out in response.
When Yang Zhaodi was taken to Zhao Qiuhua's office, her heart filled with jealousy almost overflowed.
You said that this woman's life is so good. When he was in Qinghe Town, Qiangzi regarded her as a treasure in the palm of his hand, and he didn't even go to the kitchen. She abandoned her husband and abandoned her son to Xiangjiang and became a wealthy wife.
A wealthy lady, her husband knew that his wife was from Xiangjiang who abandoned her husband and abandoned her son
"Oh, Qiuhua, it's really not easy to see you now." Yang Zhaodi didn't seem to be polite to Zhao Qiuhua, and sat down on the chair in front of her desk.
"It's real leather, it's really comfortable to sit on!" She touched the armrest of the chair and exclaimed.
After reading a press release, Zhao Qiuhua put aside the work at hand and poured a cup of tea for Yang Zhaodi, "Sister-in-law looking for me, what's the matter?"
Yang Zhaodi took the cup and flicked it with her fingers, "Crystal, I work in a shopping mall and know the goods!"
"The wealthy wives are different. They use good things." She said meaningfully.
Zhao Qiuhua didn't answer, she looked at Yang Zhaodi calmly, she knew something about Yang Zhaodi's intention.
A few years ago, when Zhou Sitian and Li Zheng reappeared in her life, she was delighted and at the same time terrified. Fear of the nightmare-like past will entangle again, and she is so terrified. Day after day, she is now numb.
"If there is nothing wrong with my sister-in-law, now is my working time." Zhao Qiuhua has never been a person who is good at sophistication. This is the case in Qinghe Town and also in Xiangjiang.
Yang Zhaodi laughed angrily when she saw Zhao Qiuhua's "high above" appearance.
"Are you really showing your wealthy wife's profile in front of me? Zhao Qiuhua, haven't you figured out the situation? A student studying in France, the daughter of a high-ranking official? I know very well about your crap, so you are not afraid that I will give it to you. Shake it out?"
Since Zhao Qiuhua refused to do even a little superficial work, Yang Zhaodi was no longer polite to her, and directly put the threat on the bright side.
Zhao Qiuhua restrained the smile on his face and looked at her fixedly, "I'm not lying, I am indeed a graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, and my father is indeed a public official in Huajing."
"What about your husband! What about Li Qiang! Your current husband knows that you are from Xiangjiang who abandoned your husband and son, that you have had two children, and that you have been raped..." Yang Zhaodi's voice was sharp like a high-speed saw , makes people feel nauseated.
"Shut up." Zhao Qiuhua looked at the woman in front of him coldly, as if there was a layer of ice in his eyes. That incident has always been her backlash, and Yang Zhaodi obviously stepped on Zhao Qiuhua's restricted area.
"Yang Zhaodi, how long have you been in Xiangjiang? Do you know what a wealthy family is? If you don't know, I suggest you to inquire about how much effort will it take if I want to clean up alone." Zhao Qiuhua supported the desk with both hands and slowly approached Yang Zhaodi's face.
Yang Zhaodi felt a coolness rise from behind her, "You have a handle on me, you... you can't threaten me, if you dare... dare to attack me, I will tell the world about you."
When Yang Zhaodi spoke, her lips were trembling. The Zhao Qiuhua in front of her doesn't seem to be the same person as the lofty female college student she knew in Qinghe Town.
Zhao Qiuhua and Zhou Sitian, mother and daughter, hate each other, but sometimes they have to admit that they are the most similar people in this world, and they all know exactly what they want.
Zhao Qiuhua sneered, "By the way, at the entrance of this office is the editorial department of Heung Kong Daily, the heart of the largest print media in Heung Kong. If you have anything you want to reveal, please feel free."
After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Yang Zhaodi, picked up the phone, "Linda, see you off."
When Yang Zhaodi stood up from her seat, cold sweat soaked her back.
She was dazedly supported by Linda and walked towards the elevator. The moment she stepped into the elevator, a flush flashed on Yang Zhaodi's face. She blushed and shouted loudly to everyone in the office, "That's a A bad woman who abandoned her husband and son, and her husband was pissed off because of her smuggling!"
Yang Zhaodi was pushed into the elevator by Linda, the elevator door closed, and the editorial department of Heung Kong Daily was in an uproar.
Who is that woman talking about? Thinking that the man had just come out of Mrs. Shen's office, everyone gasped, and they seemed to have heard some great secrets.
Zhao Qiuhua in the office naturally heard Yang Zhaodi's shout, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she sat back in her seat and did her own thing.
"Divorce! Must get divorced, she's a liar! Where's Hong Ji! Let him come back right away! And Niu-san, go and take over Nan Nan, this is the child of our Shen family, and you must not bring it to that woman!" Yang Wanru was trembling with anger at the information sent by the servant not long ago.
When receiving the call from Shen Hongji, Zhao Qiuhua had a sense of relief that she had finally arrived. She had lived for the identity of Mrs. Shen for so long that she had even forgotten what Zhao Qiuhua looked like at the time.
"Mom got it, Qiuhua, I'll pick you up later. When you arrive at the old house, you don't have to say anything. Can I tell you?" His wife once married and had a son. Yes, and it was he who advocated hiding this matter from the Shen family.
"Well, I see." Zhao Qiuhua was silent for a long time, but finally agreed, she really liked Shen Hongji.
When Shen Hongji and Zhao Qiuhua walked into the old house, Yang Wanru had already asked Niu to pick up Nannan. Nannan looked very happy when she saw her parents, and climbed down from the sofa to run towards them.
Yang Wanru winked at Sister-in-law Niu, and Sister-in-law quickly picked up Nan Nan, "Be good, Aunt Niu will take you to play in the yard."
Nan Nan was not happy, and stretched out two small hands to "hug" Zhao Qiuhua.
Zhao Qiuhua took two steps forward.
"Qiuhua, let's talk about you first, you don't want to listen," Yang Wanru said.
Shen Wannian also came back, sitting on the sofa with a dark face.
Zhao Qiuhua pursed his lips, stopped, and watched Nannan crying and being carried out of the living room.
"Mom, I know about Qiuhua."
"You know? You know?!" Yang Wanru stood up abruptly and looked at her son, her eyes almost popping out. He actually said that he knew, he knew that his wife had given birth to two children with other men, and she was also raped. ... also been that one.
Yang Wanru seemed to know her son for the first time, "Hongji, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Mom, this is about me and Qiuhua. I have asked people to say hello to those media, and they will be suppressed in the next few days. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Zhao Qiuhua was married and had children, and he never concealed from Shen Hongji. It's just that he never knew that Zhao Qiuhua's daughter actually came like this.
How arrogant her lover is, Shen Hongji knew very well when she was a student, and she actually encountered so many things when she didn't know it.
"Don't worry about it?" Yang Wanru sighed in anger, "Don't worry, how do you ask your mother to go out to meet people? The media is suppressed, yes, our Shen family can talk about the media, but the magazine tabloids have already been published. , can you take it back?"
"My Shen family's daughter-in-law is a woman who abandoned her husband and children. Where do you let our Shen family's face go, how do you let your mother and me face my friends in the wives group, and your father, your father's old face is all Lose you."
"I discussed it with your father. You don't have to say anything and get a divorce immediately. Mrs. Shen must not be done by a woman who abandons her husband and children."
When Yang Wanru said this, she sneered, "Maybe the marriage relationship in the inland has not been dissolved."
"Mom, this is my family business. I brought Qiuhua here today, just to tell you that I knew about this matter, and I voluntarily married Zhao Qiuhua as my Shen Hongji's legal wife, she is now She is also the only Mrs. Shen in the future." Shen Hongji said word by word.
"I disagree!"
"Old Shen, you have to say something!" Seeing that her son was as stubborn as a cow, Yang Wanru couldn't help but look at her husband for help.
Shen Wannian snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and raised his head.
"In the past two hours, my office has received no less than ten calls, all of which are greetings from your uncles and uncles. Hongji, you have to know that our embarrassment is temporary, and you may have it all your life. To be laughed at behind your back, can you bear this shame?"
"I… "
"Don't answer in such a hurry, I'll talk about it in two days. In these two days, I won't force you to divorce Qiuhua." Shen Wannian said slowly, and at the same time glared, blocking Yang Wanru's mouth.
"Nan, I'll be in the old house these few days, go back and take care of it."
Seeing that his father did not force him to divorce, Shen Hongji breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that his parents had passed, and patted Zhao Qiuhua's hand to express his comfort. Go back first."
Shen Wannian didn't give Yang Wanru a chance to speak, and nodded, "Go back."
Seeing her son and that woman go together, Yang Wanru blushed at her husband for the first time, "Forget it, you really want to make me shameless! I, Yang Wanru, can't afford such a daughter-in-law! "
Shen Wannian glanced at Yang Wanru, "Your son, you don't know what virtue is? Zhao Qiuhua is proud, Hongji is no longer proud? Young Master Shen, who was raised as a proud son of the sky since childhood, has a smooth journey, Hongji. He looks gentle and refined, and he is arrogant than anyone else."
Yang Wanru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
As expected of the old Mr. Shen who has been in charge of the Shen family for many years, if they forced their son to divorce Zhao Qiuhua today, it might be counterproductive, but if his son wanted to leave, would they give him another step
Knowing son Mo Ruofu, or in other words, the ability of a person who is smooth sailing to resist attacks is far weaker than he imagined.
On the first day, Shen Hongji's face was dark, but he still forced a smile when he saw Zhao Qiuhua.
The next day, Shen Hongji saw her eyes dodging a little.
On the third and fourth days, as the days passed, Zhao Qiuhua clearly felt that her husband was hiding from her.
The media has already suppressed it. Zhou Sitian, who has always been at odds with herself, is the current Mrs. Shao, who unexpectedly came forward to shut up all the Hong Kong media. The Shao and Chen families are the only two in the Hong Kong media industry. Dashan, both of them opened their mouths, and they stopped their hands no matter how ignorant they were.
But Yang Wanru was right, they blocked the mouths of the media and the people of Xiangjiang. Although most of the first batch of magazines were bought back by the Shen family at a high price, the upper classes of Xiangjiang knew everything they should know.
Shen Hongji has a wide circle of friends. He has heard people discussing the color on his head more than once, and even he felt that his friends were looking at him in the wrong way, which made this proud son Shen a little unbearable.
Shen Wannian knew Shen Hongji, and Zhao Qiuhua naturally understood too.
If you don't mind, I will leave. She can endure the cold words of the Shen family because of Shen Hongji's insistence, but if Shen Hongji is also shaken, then she has no reason to persevere, right
"Let's... divorce." When he said this, Zhao Qiuhua realized that making this decision was not as difficult as he imagined.
"Qiuhua, you..." Shen Hongji looked at his wife in shock. It was true that he was a little uncomfortable these days, but he thought it could be overcome, as long as he was given time... time.
Looking at his wife's calm gaze, he opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
"This is my decision, you can take it as my own." He signed the divorce agreement smartly, and went home to organize things and move out as quickly as possible.
In a family like the Shen family, it is impossible for Nan Nan to be with her, and she also does not want to become a talking point for Xiang Jiang because of a custody lawsuit that is impossible to win.
So Zhao Qiuhua wisely agreed to visit time in the divorce agreement, two days a week. She has never been a good mother. Maybe this is her retribution. When she has it, she doesn't cherish it. Now she doesn't even have the chance to be a good mother.
After leaving Hong Kong Daily, Zhao Qiuhua entered the Hong Kong office of Xinghua Society and became the head of the Hong Kong office of Xinghua Society, and began to be active in Hong Kong society as a journalist of Huaguo.
At this time, the talents of Xiangjiang really saw this woman who used to live under the halo of Mrs. Shen.
Later, the relationship between Zhou Sitian and Zhao Qiuhua was exposed, and everyone realized that the two sons and daughters of Mrs. Shen, who had been rumored at that time, were actually biologists Li Zheng and Mrs. Shao Zhou Sitian, and the whole Xiangjiang was boiling.
The Shen family, the Shao family, the Liang family, and the special status of Li Zheng, the two marriages actually brought in all the three big families of Xiangjiang. For a time, Zhao Qiuhua became synonymous with "legend".
Of course, only she knows how much this "legend" cost her.
"I'm sorry I only came to see you now. Xiaozheng and Sitian are doing well, they are amazing. I'm doing well too. I owe you my apologies, Li Qiang, if people really have a next life, don't like them Get a woman like me."
Another year of Qingming, two bouquets of flowers were placed in front of Li Qiang's tomb, thinking that Li Zheng and Zhou Sitian had already come.
Zhao Qiuhua poured the wine from the wine glass in front of the tombstone and quietly watched the black and white photos on the tombstone for a long time. I am destined to be sorry for you in this life, but I have never regretted my decision.
People live a lifetime, and they can't always be resigned. Many people have clearly held the steering wheel of fate all their lives, but never turned it hard, and watched the car of fate go farther and farther under the randomly set track.
Zhao Qiuhua put the wine glass in his hand in front of the tombstone, then bowed deeply and turned to leave.
April 27, Xiangjiang Airport.
Zhao Qiuhua walked out of the airport with his luggage.
"Qiuhua."
She turned her head, it was Shen Hongji...
