Wen Liang didn't expect Ye Yuting to be here. His shoulders lightly touched Zuo Yuxi's and he asked in confusion, "What's going on? Let me make it clear that if you two start fighting, I won't help either of you..."
Ye Yuting walked over here. Zuo Yuxi rolled his eyes at him and whispered, "I think with you here, Yuting might listen to me patiently. Otherwise, she will get angry again after just a few words and make everyone leave unhappily."
Wen Liang chuckled and said, "So, Director Zuo, you have to change your temper! Even Teacher Ye, who has the best temper in our No. 1 Middle School, can't stand you. What's going to happen if you continue like this?"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Yuting immediately demonstrated with her actions what it meant to have a good temper. She walked closer, suddenly twisted Wen Liang's ear, and snorted coldly, "You've skipped classes for three days in a row, Wen Liang, you're getting bolder and bolder, huh?"
Zuo Yuxi blinked, and the smile that could not be suppressed on her lips made Uncle Wen feel very ashamed. Wen Liang tilted his head and shouted, "Teacher Ye, if you don't let go, I will expose our relationship..."
Ye Yuting was used to being teased by him, and she didn't take such threats seriously. However, she couldn't pull her face away in front of Zuo Yuxi. She let go and said viciously: "Shut up!"
Zuo Yuxi seldom saw Ye Yuting like this, and asked with interest: "Oh, what's the relationship? Tell me about it."
Wen Liang rubbed his ears, stared at Ye Yuting and laughed. Ye Yuting thought of the awkward encounters with Wen Liang, and couldn't help but blushing. Just as she was about to rush over to cover his mouth, Wen Liang laughed and said, "What else can it be? Once a teacher, always a teacher. Of course, it's a pure teacher-student relationship."
Ye Yuting was teased by him repeatedly and was very angry. She said, "Starting tomorrow, report to my office every day, otherwise I will notify Director Wen and ask your parents to cooperate with the school's work. I will put you on the spot!" She was used to calling Wen Huaiming by his previous position, which sounded somewhat intimate.
After saying that, Ye Yuting went upstairs first. Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zuo, I tried to create a relaxed and active environment for your reconciliation, but ended up paying for it myself. Tell me, how should this account be settled?"
Zuo Yuxi lifted the hair beside her ears. Her skin was as white as jade and her lips were as red as dye. She glanced at Wen Liang half teasingly and half shyly, and said, "Is that so? How about I make it up to you tonight?"
Wen Liang was overjoyed and came over to say, "How about a compensation method? It won't count if it doesn't meet my requirements!"
Zuo Yuxi smiled softly and said nothing. She turned and went upstairs gracefully, her figure swaying and her steps light. From behind, she could see mountains and hills winding and undulating, which was truly beautiful. Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, made a cross on his chest, and hurriedly followed.
The three of them sat in a triangle in the suite, separated by a marble coffee table, and were silent for a while. The atmosphere that Wen Liang had painstakingly created disappeared the moment he entered the room. Zuo Yuxi was confused and didn't know where to start, while Wen Liang was hesitant and couldn't find a suitable reason to start a conversation. Ye Yuting was completely immersed in her own world, her fingers gently sliding along the edge of the marble, her eyes drifting around the room, as if catching some fragments of memory, her expression sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
The air was filled with such a strange smell, making them look more like a three-way meeting between countries than a communication and clarification between friends. Time ticked by, and Zuo Ye and the other two were still silent. Wen Liang secretly complained, "Brother, I knew you would be a panacea today." He clapped his hands to attract the attention of the two and said, "Let me ask first... What is your relationship?"
The two looked at each other, Ye Yuting snorted and turned her head away, Zuo Yuxi sighed softly: "We are sisters, half sisters with the same father!"
Wen Liang had guessed this long ago, so he wasn't surprised. He looked around and asked jokingly, "Which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?"
Two sofa cushions were thrown at him at the same time, and Wen Liang shouted, "OK, OK, keep talking, keep talking!"
The following story is like the real drama "The Debt of Sin" that made a sensation in 1995. It is a helpless choice about educated youth, returning to the city, love, life, promise and betrayal more than 20 years ago. The only difference is that when they set out on the journey home, they both knew clearly that there was no future. Three months later, Zuo Jing followed the arrangement of his parents and completed a political marriage. But not long after, he got the news that the girl who often fetched water and washed clothes by the small river outside the village was pregnant.
Things in the world are so unpredictable, but the matter is done and cannot be reversed. Zuo Jing can only do his best to take care of the mother and daughter and never lose contact. Many years later, the former washerwoman and later single mother died of illness under the dual torture of the secular world and life. The helpless 15-year-old girl followed her mother's will and entered this family she had never set foot in. Fortunately, she was greeted by the love of her father, the care of her stepmother, and a little hostility from her sister.
Ten years passed quickly, Zuo Jing became more and more powerful, but Ye Yuting's identity could not be revealed. In order to avoid suspicion, she announced to the public that she was the daughter of a deceased comrade-in-arms, who was entrusted to him for care before his death. Therefore, she took her mother's surname.
However, Ye Yuting never minded these things. She was only happier to be able to keep her mother's surname.
In this new big family, Zuo Jing, who had always been stern and cold, almost doted on her. And her stepmother, who had made her uneasy for a long time, was born into a prominent family, a lady from a noble family, elegant and kind. She sympathized with her life experience and doted on her in every way, caring for her and taking care of her in every detail, just like her biological mother, and even better.
Even her younger sister, who became more and more beautiful, but also more and more aloof and arrogant as she grew older, was more gentle and patient than ever before when she was with her. You know, even when facing her parents, Zuo Yuxi might not smile.
Ye Yuting always behaves dignified and self-reliant in front of outsiders. In fact, she is indeed half a year older than Zuo Yuxi, but in the ten years that they grew up together, Zuo Yuxi always regarded herself as an older sister, and Ye Yuting was just a willful and naughty younger sister.
Hearing this, Wen Liang secretly praised: Character determines destiny. No wonder Yuxi is always so strong. She even became someone else's elder sister because she was restless. What else is there to say
"In 1991, my father was promoted to the secretary of the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee. I started working early and was transferred to the Municipal Education Bureau. Two years later, Yuting graduated from Jiangdong University and went to Qingyi Middle School. Only three or five people in Qingzhou knew about our relationship. Tao Ran was a college classmate of Yuting..."
Zuo Yuxi said this, and Ye Yuting stood up and went to the balcony. She crossed her arms, and her back looked lonely and delicate. Wen Liang thought for a moment and said, "Then what?"
Tao Ran was struck by Ye Yuting in college. He was tall, handsome, and eloquent. He was one of the school's most popular men and had no problems pursuing girls. But Ye Yuting didn't like his philandering and vanity, and had always been rude to him. But after graduation, Tao Ran resolutely gave up the opportunity to work in Guanshan and followed her back to Qingzhou. At that time, to be honest, Ye Yuting was indeed a little touched.
However, just as Tao Ran didn't know that she was Zuo Jing's daughter, Ye Yuting didn't know that Wei Dongchang from Qingshi was his uncle. Tao Ran's so-called sacrifice for love was actually a lie to deceive the girl.
In Qingzhou for a year, Tao Ran used all his skills to pursue her. Although Ye Yuting still had no feelings for him, she felt sorry for his feelings and planned to give this man a chance to get along with her.
Tao Ran was ecstatic, but he didn't expect that Ye Yuting was very conservative because of her mother's experience. They had not even held hands for half a year, let alone other intimate behaviors. However, Tao Ran endured it. He may not have much love for Ye Yuting, but he had never tasted the taste of being rejected by a woman, so he wanted to get Ye Yuting at all costs. As for whether he would continue to cherish her after getting her, it depends on whether he can find the next prey.
The prey will appear soon!
At an academic exchange meeting sponsored by the municipal government, municipal education bureau, literary federation, Youth Normal College and other units, Tao Ran met Zuo Yuxi as an official representative for the first time. Her stunning beauty, cold temperament, and background that was envied and hated by everyone all made Tao Ran's eyes light up.
The flowers of Qingzhou are countless times more beautiful than rumored!
This was the most ideal object in his mind. Although Ye Yuting was not bad, she lacked the most important condition—her status, which was enough for him to rely on and save ten years of hard work! At this time, Tao Ran was famous in Qingshi, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a young talent. When he learned that this flower of Qingzhou did not have a boyfriend, he felt that he was at least 70% sure.
But it was obvious that Tao Ran overestimated his own charm. He had several meals with Zuo Yuxi under the pretext that the hospital needed to communicate and coordinate with the Education Bureau. He spoke eloquently and wittily, but Director Zuo was so cold from beginning to end that water could freeze into ice. His indifferent attitude almost made Tao Ran lose the courage to continue speaking.
After learning his lesson, he changed his strategy and carefully studied Zuo Yuxi's likes and dislikes. He began to talk only about work and not about love, and occasionally extended the subject and led the conversation to interesting things. After a while, he clearly felt that Zuo Yuxi's attitude towards him had changed. Although it was far from a good impression, at least he did not dislike him.
This was a good start, until that day, when the one-month exchange meeting ended and the organizers were hosting scholars from all walks of life at Bishui Bay, Tao Ran suddenly made an amazing move that completely changed the fate of many people.
Zuo Yuxi turned to look at Ye Yuting, the love and care in her eyes were clearly visible, and she whispered: "Don't think that Yuting is always happy. In fact, since Aunt Ye passed away, I know that she has never been truly happy!"
(I see how charming the green mountains are, and I think the green mountains see me the same way. This is a metaphor for sisters)
