"... Overtime." Ningning took out a stack of money from her bag and handed it to him, "There are overtime pay."
Papaya leaned against the wall with her arms in her arms, looking at the money in her hand coldly, suddenly turned around and walked towards the room, her footsteps were so heavy, so heavy, so fast, like a drum beating on the surface of a drum, an urgent sound once.
A clatter—what fell to the ground
Ning Ning kicked off his shoes and followed.
Standing at the door of the room, she saw the papaya inside turning around, carrying the schoolbag in her hand upside down. The small bills, paper money and coins in it poured down like water in a bottle, covering the floor all at once.
"Enough?" He raised his chin and looked at her.
Seeing him with such indifferent eyes, Ning Ning suddenly felt angry.
"Enough?" She sneered, walked over, put her foot on the ground, and set aside part of the money, "This is your tuition fee."
Set aside another part: "This is the money for your meal."
"That's what you'll pay to rent a house."
"This is your money for clothes and shoes."
…
After allocating the last sum of money, Ning Ning patted the empty ground with his foot, and sneered with his arms crossed: "This money is not enough to feed yourself, what is it enough? Is it enough to feed my mother or me?"
Papaya's face was blue and white for a while.
"...Then you can't do this either." He stammered out a sentence, "You quit your job long ago, and you didn't earn the money from washing dishes at all..."
Ning Ning held the banknotes in his hand tightly, and laughed angrily: "How do you think I earned my money? Do you think... What am I doing outside?"
For a moment, she wanted to throw the money in his face, but she held it for too long and exhausted her strength, so she fell weakly on the bed, a few pieces of money fell in front of her, and she raised her hand to cover it. Shun face: "Do you think I like to be a cow and a horse? The weather is so cold, I don't want to wash the dishes at all, I don't want to say welcome in a low voice, and I don't want to be home at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Earn overtime pay…”
In the movie, the frostbite on the hand is just a cosmetic effect, but here, it is a real pain.
"...I'm a girl." She covered her face, her hand with the frostbite still trembling slightly, "I'm spoiling myself like this now, what will I do when I get old? I'm not literate, I'm old, I'm not beautiful, I can't even work hard. What should I do when I can't do it... I didn't think about it."
She suddenly put down her hand and looked at Papaya with tears in her eyes: "I'm thinking of you all."
Papaya stood on the spot embarrassed as if she had been punched.
After a long time, he took a step forward and raised his hands slightly, as if he wanted to hug her, but Ning Ning reached out and pushed her back.
"Sister..." Papaya looked at her hurt.
"...Don't touch me." Ningning lowered her head and said.
After saying those words just now, Ning Ning suddenly found that as a sister, as a fungus, she loved him and hated him. He is younger than her, weaker than her, he needs her, so after an accident at home, as a sister, she should shoulder all the burdens, take care of his food and daily life, work hard to make money for him to study, and have to endure His incomprehension and bad temper.
He dragged her down, bound her, trapped her, Ning Ning suddenly looked up and looked around, such a small, dirty, cold room, to save money, she lived here all the time, even after turning off the lights, she could hear mice on the ground The sound of running around, she worked hard here night after night, she clearly had money in her hand...
Ning Ning shivered and looked down at the money on the ground.
"Take it, overtime pay. Too much? Hehe, not much. When you become the lady of the Lian family, it will be your turn to tip me."
Ning Ning smiled bitterly in her heart, she knew why Pei Xuan gave her this overtime pay.
This man is accompanied by desire, and what he is best at is probably not deceiving people, but prying open a hole in people's heart, and then gently singing evil songs to lure the desire inside to stick its head out like a snake.
After all, the human heart has two sides, and he is good at guiding the dark side of a person...
A few days later, even home.
Family and career seem to be a pair of eternal rivals in love. One is proud and the other is frustrated. Ning Ning's family is in a mess. In contrast, she performed very well in the Lian family drama.
"I don't have your daughter." Er Shao said coldly to Ning Ning.
"I don't have your son." A colder voice came from behind him.
The second young master turned his head and called to the old man who was lying on the bed, "Dad!"
"Go out." Old Master Lian said briefly and forcefully.
The Second Young Master originally wanted to play tricks and leave, but he was taken away by the bodyguard of the old man. After he left, the old man raised his hand to greet Ning Ning in front of him, and looked at her kindly: "Child, tell me about you. thing."
Her character design has already been written, Ning Ning sits in front of him, not too far away, but not too close, occasionally glances at him, but more often she is playing with her clothes: "Me? Me and me. My mother lives together, but I don't know if that is my real mother, because she doesn't like me at all, only my brother."
"Love sons over women, many people are like this." The old man asked again, "Have you ever read?"
"I have read it, but I haven't read it now." Ningning said blankly, "My mother said that girls don't need to read so many books, anyway, they will marry and have children at home."
"Do you hate them?" Master Lian asked.
Ning Ning glanced at him in surprise, as if someone was poking at the center, then frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No, it's my relatives after all."
"Yeah, I can't talk about it." Old Master Lian sighed and looked straight at the ceiling above his head. After a long while, he turned his head to Ning Ning and said, "Call me grandpa."
Ningning: "Grandpa?"
"Hey." The old man clapped her hand and said with a smile, "Grandpa sent you to study, and he will send you to study whatever you like. You don't need to marry after graduation. There is still a word in this world called entourage..."
"Stop, stop!" Ning Ning hurriedly called to stop, and then got a little excited, more anxiously looking at him, and asked cautiously, "Grandpa, you are so kind to everyone in the family...?"
Even the old man's eyes flashed a shadow, he smiled, his smile was a little light: "Of course, I am equally good to everyone, all equally good..."
People are distant and close, even a family of only three or four people, sometimes they can't have a bowl of water, and even the old man? He can't handle a bowl of water now, let alone before.
After answering this question, even the old man was a little nervous all the time, and after chatting with Ning Ning for a few more homely things, he smiled and winked at Lawyer Huang beside him. Lawyer Huang immediately said to Ning Ning, "Mr. Lian is a little tired. Come here today and let him rest."
Ning Ning got up with a smile: "Goodbye grandpa, have a good rest."
The door closed behind her, she knew they were going to discuss the second round of auditions next, even the old man tired? No, he is not tired at all, he will keep tossing until he finds the closest relatives in his mind, just like the group of people downstairs.
Ningning walked down the stairs step by step, she looked at the people downstairs, and the people downstairs looked at her, not the eyes of her relatives, but the eyes of her competitors.
Even the old man longed for family affection, but turned it into a competition. Since it was a competition, it must be bloody, cruel, and destined to compete. If you want to find love from it, you are destined to gain nothing.
"How is it?" Pei Xuan's voice came from the side.
Ning Ning turned to look at him, thinking: It's this person who brought out the dark side of the old man, making him long for family love, but he doesn't believe in family love.
"The old man said he wanted to send me to school." Ning Ning said.
Pei Xuan snorted, with a half-smile but not a smile: "I can't tell, you are quite able to please the middle-aged and elderly people."
"Just to please the elderly." Ning Ning corrected his statement.
"It's also quite pleasing to me." Pei Xuan put the cigarette in his mouth, "I'm a middle-aged man."
The corners of Ning Ning's mouth twitched and she felt a little nauseous.
Looking at this person really hurt her eyesight, Ning Ning hurriedly turned her eyes to the group of people in the living room, who were either in groups of three or five, or brought their own huge think tank, she suddenly exclaimed: "Why? One person missing?"
Ning Ning asked, according to Lian Lian's memoirs, although a total of five people were invited today, only four were present, the eldest son and his son, the third daughter, and Ning Ning. The fourth son won't come because there is an accident on his way...
"Who knows." Pei Xuan said lightly beside her, "Maybe there was an accident on the road."
As soon as the voice fell, someone rushed in from outside, and shouted to the crowd anxiously: "No, there is something wrong with the Fourth Young Master!"
Ning Ning suddenly turned his attention to Pei Xuan.
She had read the memoirs before she knew it was going to happen. What about him? How did he know
At the same time, at Pei Xuan's house.
Papaya sat on a chair in the living room, with a book on her lap, and did not turn a page for a long time.
Finally, irritably closing the book, he raised his head, looked around, and wondered, "Where have everyone gone?"
There are many people in Pei Xuan's family. These people are nominally his chefs, gardeners, and servants, but Papaya thinks that their occupations may not be like this, because chefs who can't make fried rice without eggs can't tell the difference between roses and roses. gardeners, and no servants who can't make tea.
Today these people are gone, only him and a fat maid are left.
The maid told him to stay downstairs, while she herself guarded the upstairs. What's upstairs? Papaya, who has never been upstairs, does not know.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from upstairs.
Papaya was startled by the sound, looked up, and was hesitating whether to go upstairs to have a look, when chaotic footsteps came from upstairs.
A figure in a white nightdress appeared on the stairs with a bloody hammer in her hand. When she saw the papaya, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then pointed the hammer at him with both hands. Shaking and saying, "Let me go!"
Papaya looked at her face in surprise, suddenly took off the mask on her face, and took a step closer to her: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?"
Wearing a white nightdress, the girl with the exact same face as Ning Ning was taken a step back by him.
Papaya suddenly stopped, looked at her suspiciously for a while, then slowly backed up and said, "No, you are not my sister."
He retreated to the table in the living room, there was a fruit bowl on the table, and he pulled out the fruit knife stuck on the apple with his backhand... By the way, he threw away the apple on it, and pointed the knife at the other side.
The girl in the white dress swallowed her saliva. Although both of them had weapons in their hands, Papaya was a boy, and she was a girl, and he was strong and she was weak, so she could not fight him.
"How's Sister Li?" Papaya saw the blood on her hammer and asked coldly, "You beat her to death?"
Sister Li is the fat maid. The white-skirted girl was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook her head: "I didn't kill her, I knocked her out, and I had no choice but to... Wait, sister? Do you have a sister who looks exactly like me? You are her brother. ?"
Papaya frowned: "So what?"
The girl in the white dress suddenly laughed.
Her smile made Papaya a little irritated, he took another step towards her and asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm an actor." The girl in the white dress restrained her smile and said to him, "One day Pei Xuan found me and said that I looked a lot like an illegitimate daughter from a wealthy family. The illegitimate daughter died unexpectedly, and he gave it to me. Money, let me play her."
Hearing this, Papaya understood a lot in an instant, such as why Pei Xuan found his sister, and why he dressed her up to make him think that the two of them...
"Later, I accidentally had an accident and was hit by a car and turned into a vegetative state." The girl in the white dress said, "He just found your sister, because your sister looks just like me. Ha, I guess he must be too. I said to her, 'Wealth and wealth are at risk, if you work normally, you have to wash dishes for ten years before you can afford the shoes you wear on your feet', 'You have to work from the Republic of China to the present before you can buy them. Start this house''Now if you just nod your head, it's all yours'…”
"I don't understand." Papaya frowned, "Since there are so many benefits, why are you running?"
The girl in the white dress was silent for a moment and said, "Because he lied to me."
Papaya: "… What do you mean?"
"...I woke up a month ago." Seemingly remembering something terrible, the girl in the white dress said with trembling lips, "At that time, in Pei Xuan's eyes, I was already a dead person, and there were many things he wouldn't say. To the living, but to the dead..."
This matter is related to his own sister, Papaya hurriedly urged: "What did he say?"
"I heard too much, so much that I didn't dare to open my eyes at all, so I could only continue to pretend to be a vegetative person." The girl in the white skirt said slowly, "Especially when I heard him say that he came to me, and he didn't know what to do at all. I was going to be a living Miss Lian, but I was going to be a dead Miss Lian… "
Papaya's head buzzed, he shook his head: "How could..."
"Don't you understand yet?" the girl in the white dress screamed at him, venting her fear and anger, "He found someone to train us, only to teach us how to look beautiful in front of the camera, just to make us die in a row. home, and then have the reporter take a nice photo and put it in the newspaper with the title—"
When she said this topic, Papaya didn't stay in the room again, and quickly rushed out of the villa door.
Even at home, in the living room.
"What? Are you arrested at the police station?"
"Reported by someone? Killed someone? Is it true?"
"Wait, I remembered, it seems like this happened, but wasn't it suppressed? Who stabbed it out?"
There was a lot of discussion among a group of people, but the discussion was just a discussion, no one was willing to come forward to protect him, but rather gloat over the misfortune.
Looking at the scene in front of Ning Ning, she couldn't help frowning.
tricky...
There is no accident in the morning, no accident in the evening, but it happens at this critical time, no matter how you look at it, it looks like someone is doing something.
"For us, it's a good thing." Pei Xuan smiled softly at her beside him, "There is one less competitor, are you right?"
