Wang Minglan is already dissatisfied with Dong Xue in her heart. This kind of woman who does not hesitate to harm her son to achieve her goals will always make people scared. She hopes that her son will be happy and have a happy marriage, but she is definitely not bound by love, so selfish , so scary.
Wang Minglan was dissatisfied with Dong Xue after all. She even mentioned it to her husband Sheng Shihua: "I think the Dong family is interested in a marriage. Mrs. Dong has also been flirting with me. If Mr. Dong mentions it to you, you must not agree."
Sheng Shihua smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't you think highly of Miss Dong's family before? You were angry for a long time because your son didn't understand the style. Why can't you accept it now?"
Wang Minglan said: "Dong Xue is very good, but her love is really terrible. In order to achieve her own goals, she actually chose to drug Xiaolun and frame him. If Dong Xue really succeeds, Xiaolun doesn't know how painful it will be?"
Sheng Shihua smiled and looked surprised: "What? Drugged? What on earth is going on?"
Wang Minglan had no choice but to relay to Sheng Shihua what Sheng Lun had said to her: "Dong Xue went too far this time. It is understandable that Xiao Lun hates her. He made it clear to me that he no longer has any affection for Dong Xue. I I'm also afraid that Dong Xue will do something more terrible if she lingers for too long, and I'm afraid that Xiao Lun will be hurt. From now on, when Dong Xue comes to the house again, we will just close the door and thank guests, and if the Dong family mentions it to you, don't respond. "
Sheng Shihua also sighed for a moment. No wonder he saw that his son's face was wrong when he came back today and his steps were sloppy. It turned out to be because of this: "I know, don't worry. But Dong Xue did such a bold thing, the Dong family should be embarrassed to propose marriage again." ?”
"I'm just afraid that Dong Xue won't tell the truth when she goes back. How dare her daughter's family tell such a thing? She didn't succeed. Xiao Lun won't admit it. If she told it, she would only ruin her reputation for innocence, and it would also make my son's innocence worse. name."
"That's true. Why is this Dong Xue so confused?"
"It's in vain that I thought she would become famous only after she returned from studying abroad, but it's just mediocre."
Wang Minglan sighed a few times, suddenly thought of something, and stood up hurriedly: "You should be busy first, I will go to the kitchen to take a look."
So there were a lot of kidney-tonifying soups on the dinner table. Sheng Jing Sheng Hui didn't understand it, so she ate more when it looked delicious. She was even slapped on the head and told to eat less. She felt aggrieved for no reason.
Sheng Lun understood, but he looked cool and elegant, and ate quietly. There was really no sign of discomfort at all. Only when you looked carefully, you found that the roots of his ears were a little red, and the hand holding the chopsticks was inexplicably hard. He didn't take the initiative to pick up the food. Wang Minglan gave it to him personally: "Eat more quickly, I think you don't look good."
Sheng Shihua also secretly took a few more bites and said honestly: "It's better to take more supplements."
Sheng Lun: "..."
He took a deep breath and turned his head to see the pretty girl holding the bowl and chopsticks with her eyes folded and smiling, like a little fox that had stolen something. Her long hair was straight and smooth, hanging softly on her shoulders.
Sheng Lun remembered that the woman's hair seemed to be as dark as ink, smooth and soft. When she pressed it on his chest, a few strands of hair fell down and fell on him, giving her a cool, scratchy itch. However, her hair does not seem to be so straight. It is a little curly and messy. The scattered hair gives people a wild and gorgeous beauty.
He had heard her voice, and what he remembered most deeply was the few times she chuckled in his ear.
It comes out from the tip of the nose, it is casual, lazy and sexy, even if it is a touch of ridicule, it only adds to the charm.
She should be a very charming and charming girl.
There is the most extreme difference from the little girl who is as green as a green apple in front of her.
Seeing him looking at her, she blinked in confusion and seemed to be asking him if he had something to do: "Cousin?"
He said calmly: "Eat quickly."
"oh."
After eating the kidney-tonifying soup for two days, even when Sheng Lun was reading at night, the soup brought to the study was very nourishing. Sheng Lun was helpless, and even more helpless when he saw Wang Minglan staring at him earnestly, hoping that he would drink it. It is very inappropriate to take both deficiency and tonic at the same time.
Wang Minglan said: "Son, don't be afraid. Mom has consulted an old Chinese doctor for advice. These are all the prescriptions he gave. They are definitely correct."
Sheng Lun: "...Mom, please go first. I'll drink the soup later."
Wang Minglan said yes and said seriously: "Then don't forget to drink it. This is good for your health."
"I understand, go and have a rest."
After Wang Minglan left, she also visited Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen was writing letters to her family, one letter a week, saying that her life in Wancheng was very good. Her aunt and uncle took good care of her, and she got along well with her cousins. She did well, so there’s no need to worry about her; she also talked about her grades, and said that her cousin would give her extra lessons every week when he came back from college. She was doing much better at studying now than before, and she hoped she could improve during the final exam; and that the teachers in the school were very good. Responsible, the English teacher Jack is a bearded man. He speaks English so well that she feels like she is listening to heavenly scriptures. However, the two brothers Sheng Jing and Sheng Hui will help her. When the three of them get along, they mostly use English, but now they can no longer speak it. As hard as before...
Finally, he wrote about missing his parents and asking them to take care of themselves. My daughter cannot fulfill her filial piety when she travels far away. When she comes back during the summer vacation, she will definitely serve her.
There were a few pages of paper, which were enough to read for a long time. She carefully put them into the envelope and prepared to send them out tomorrow.
Wang Minglan came over and said, "Are you writing a letter to your family again? Is it finished?"
Ye Zhen nodded: "Well, I was afraid that my parents would miss me, so I wrote more."
Wang Minglan touched Ye Zhen's head, smiled and praised Ye Zhen for being good, and then told her to go to bed early. She didn't leave until she watched Ye Zhen go to bed and turned off the lights herself.
Here Ye Zhen fell asleep, and over there Sheng Lun was still drawing. With a few simple strokes and a few pages of white paper, he recorded everything that happened that night. He sorted it out and put it into a notebook with white needle and thread, and carefully collected it. stand up.
She didn't leave any contact information and preferred to come to him. She definitely didn't want to get too entangled with him.
Mingming told him when she left in the morning that he lived in Sheng Mansion and could go to him at any time.
He rubbed his forehead and frowned slightly.
Half a month after this incident, Wang Minglan's kidney replenishing plan finally stopped. The effect was still quite strong, because Sheng Lun would feel hot in his body from time to time, and it was human nature to have desires in his body. He was not ashamed of this, let him be ashamed. Yes, he will think of another pair of hands, soft and boneless, sometimes tight and sometimes loose, which can give him heaven or send him to hell.
In fact, not long after that day, he went to Peach Blossom Village again, holding a portrait of her back to ask someone if they had seen her? The store receives countless customers every day, and they really don't have much memory of this little figure, so they all shake their heads and say they don't remember. Only one male waiter said that he seemed to have seen someone wearing this outfit and came to the front desk that night. He said that a guest had broken a vase in the room and asked someone to clean it up. He went and knocked on the door but there was no response. After a while he left.
Someone questioned him: "Is it true? It's been so long and you still remember?"
The man said: "It's not that I want to remember it, it's because this man was wearing men's clothes, and his hat was pulled down so that only half of his face was visible. At first I thought it was a young master who ran away from home, but later I found out after talking to him. She is a woman and her voice is very nice, so I naturally remembered her."
Sheng Lun asked him: "Has she been here since then?"
The man shook his head no.
Sheng Lun was not without disappointment. Later, he asked the man to describe the woman's appearance in detail. He finally lifted up half of the square handkerchief and saw the delicate chin and small cherry mouth. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised. He could almost imagine her raising her lips when she chuckled. The appearance is a little delicate and a little bit bad.
It's just that this was what he drew after hearing someone describe it. I'm afraid it's far from the real person.
Sheng Lun had never been so interested in any woman, but it was a pity that she didn't know her name and it was difficult to meet her.
It's the weekend again, Ye Zhen got up early, today Wang Minglan said that she would take her, Sheng Jing and Sheng Hui to a tailor shop to customize new clothes. Summer is coming, so she needs to make two beautiful dresses to look good. Sheng Jing is also changing this year. It took a lot to make two suits.
Ye Zhen asked: "What about cousin?"
Wang Minglan said: "Your cousin is not growing any longer, so the measurements have been sent over a long time ago for someone to do it first. Maybe it will be done this time."
Sheng Lun didn't go with them, but this time when he went out, he unexpectedly met Dong Xue. She also came to make new dresses. She even drew the drawings herself for the master to make according to her requirements. After all, she had studied abroad, so this The drawings are really beautiful when they come out. If you modify the cheongsam, you can see the dignity and charm just from the drawings.
Dong Xue didn't expect to meet Wang Minglan here. She was surprised and smiled and called Aunt Wang. Dong's mother also came over to greet her warmly. She also said that since they met for lunch, how about they go to a nearby restaurant together? Let’s go to the department store in the afternoon, it’s so lively with so many people.
Ye Zhen glanced at Dong Xue, who was dignified and confident with her hands folded in front of her belly. She really couldn't connect the woman that night with her. She was smart at other times, but she was easily confused when faced with the relationship she had been chasing for many years and wanted. .
If a man doesn't like you, even if he offers his body, he still doesn't like you, and what he will get in return is contempt.
Ye Zhen glanced at Dong Xue a few times, and Dong Xue also looked at Ye Zhen and said with a smile: "Sister Ye Zhen, I have designed a new skirt. If it turns out well, I will have someone make it for you too." ?”
Ye Zhen: "Thank you, Miss Dong, no need, aunt will make me a skirt."
"It doesn't matter. Women should dress up beautifully. Wouldn't it be better to have more beautiful dresses?"
"No, I'm still studying. I can't let such trivial matters disturb my mind. Otherwise, I will not only be sorry for my family's ardent expectations, but also sorry for the teachers' hard work."
Ye Zhen spoke clearly and eloquently, even the talented Dong Xue could not refute her. If people want to study in peace, she would be disrespectful if she talks too much.
Dong Xue smiled and said, "Then tell me when you think about it." Ye Zhen was so rude to her and so close to Sheng Lun. Dong Xue really didn't believe that she had no other thoughts.
Wang Minglan was very happy with Ye Zhen's attitude and said: "We won't have lunch together later. There are still people waiting at home. We can get together as a family every weekend and won't play outside. I have just enough time today. I’ll take the kids at home to measure the size, and then I’ll be back.”
Dong's mother said disappointedly: "Isn't it a pity that we left like this after such a rare encounter? It won't be too late for you to get together for dinner."
Wang Minglan: "Let's wait until the next opportunity. Let's go first. Goodbye."
He called Sheng Jing and Sheng Hui who were playing nearby, pulled Ye Zhen into the Buick, and left without rolling down the windows.
Mother Dong was confused and a little angry: "What's going on with Minglan? We would definitely have lunch together when we met before. Not long ago, we visited a department store together. Why did we go so fast this time? I still want to go with you She’s talking about you and Sheng Lun!”
Dong Xue frowned. She also felt that Wang Minglan was alienated from her. She was not as close and kind as before. Could it be...
She suddenly dared not think about what would happen if Sheng Lun told Wang Minglan about the matter and Wang Minglan distanced herself from her... Dong Xue's cheeks suddenly turned red and white, and she was no longer in the good mood to go out in the morning. She had been suffering every day for the past few days, and finally convinced herself not to think too much. Brother Sheng Lun was angry for a moment. When he got too angry, she would apologize to him, and he would definitely forgive her.
Now that he has told the matter to his family, he is determined not to have anything to do with her anymore!
Dong Xue once again felt the despair of being scolded by Sheng Lun that day. As expected, he had no sympathy or tenderness towards her, only ruthlessness and indifference.
She covered her face in pain, and the overwhelming heartache almost swept her away.
Mother Dong looked at her and said worriedly: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
After a while, Dong Xue said: "No problem, let's go home first."
"Okay, let's go back first." After getting into the car, Mother Dong said again, "Although Sheng Lun is good, he is just a weak scholar. There are thousands of good men in the world. Xiaoxue, if Sheng Lun doesn't want to , just give up, okay? My daughter is so good, it doesn’t have to be him."
Dong Xue looked at the magic outside the window and felt melancholy. The gauze hat she wore slanted made her look mysterious and beautiful: "I know that I have met many talented and powerful men, but that is the one who makes me attracted. "
"Why are you bothering?"
"Mom, please stop talking. I feel uncomfortable. Just leave me alone."
Seeing her daughter like this, Dong's mother was naturally dissatisfied with Sheng Lun, and she was also angry with Wang Minglan. She didn't understand why she deliberately avoided her today
But she said that Wang Minglan took Ye Zhen, Sheng Jing, and Sheng Hui into the car. After the car started, she looked back a few times. When she saw that they were far away, she said to her children: "You can't know what Miss Dong will give you in the future." Really? Zhen Zhen did a great job today, you should learn from your cousin."
Sheng Jing yelled: "Before, you said Miss Dong was so talented that we should learn more, but now we have to keep a distance?"
Sheng Hui was also confused and asked why
Wang Minglan said: "I shouldn't tell you these things, but you can see that Miss Dong's thoughts are with your eldest brother, but your eldest brother has no intention. For the sake of both parties, we must keep a distance. I know you are all You sensible adults, I am telling you this just because you know in your heart that you should not do bad things in the future. Don’t talk about this outside, as it will ruin other people’s reputations, you know?”
Sheng Jing rolled his eyes: "I'm not interested in the love between children that hinders my development." He wants to be the boss, he is ruthless, and Fengyue has nothing to do with him.
Wang Minglan raised her hand and wanted to poke his raised head, but unfortunately she couldn't hit him while sitting in the back seat. Sheng Hui said: "Okay, I understand, this is Luohua's intention to be ruthless."
Wang Minglan poked her ear and said, "Children, please study hard for me."
Sheng Hui pouted and said, "In the early decades, I should have been looking for a husband at my age."
"Okay, let your father look for you when you get home."
"Yes, yes, just marry my sister off and let her rob me every day."
"Oh mother, I told you that you still took it seriously! Shu Shengjing, I don't want to care about you."
Sheng Jing made a face, and Wang Minglan said, "I didn't say anything here. Every sentence is the truth."
"Shut up, Shengjing! I was wrong, mother, cousin, you won't help me either..."
The group of people returned to Sheng Mansion after a fight. The Buick parked in front of the house. Sheng Jing jumped out of the car and ran away. Sheng Hui followed and chased her, pulling Ye Zhen to help her. Wang Minglan shouted from behind: "Slow down, everyone, run away." Slow down! I don't care if you fall!"
Sheng Jing ran straight home, saying in a cowardly manner that he could not catch me if he hit me. Sheng Hui was so angry that he bared his teeth and claws and threatened to beat him to death. He also asked Ye Zhen to run faster and chase after him, "Your legs are like this." You are taller than me, so why do you run slower than me?"
Ye Zhen was helpless. She had not played this kind of child's game for many years.
Sheng Hui urged her: "Hurry up, hurry up, we girls must unite."
Yes, it has all risen to the level of unity.
However, as soon as Sheng Jing ran into the house, he disappeared. I didn't know where the brat was hiding. The aunt quietly pointed in the direction and said it was in the yard behind. Sheng Hui took Ye Zhen and went there aggressively. Sure enough, she saw him hiding in a In the grand scene behind the flowers, Sheng Hui said: "Cousin, if I go this way and you go that way, I must catch him."
Ye Zhen nodded and promised to complete the task.
But she didn't expect that when she took a detour to catch the beautiful scenery, another person stood out from the flowers on one side. The person was tall and slender, with black hair like ink, and cold eyebrows. His facial features could be seen better from the side of his face. Shen Shen, now wearing a dark blue overalls with sleeves, looked like he was pruning flowers and plants. Ye Zhen ran over and he stood up, and the two of them suddenly bumped into each other.
Sheng Lun only saw Ye Zhen running towards him. He was surprised for a moment and immediately reacted to protect her in his arms. She ran very fast and had great momentum, and he was unprepared. They both fell into the lawn beside her, and she lay on top of him. Unscathed, Sheng Lun frowned and warned: "Don't be naughty. What should I do if I get hurt?"
But in the next moment, he smelled a sweet aroma that lingered around the tip of his nose. It was very clear and light, not as strong as that night, but vaguely familiar.
He was slightly startled.
Ye Zhen raised her head from his arms, hurriedly climbed up and sat on the lawn aside, but Sheng Lun felt the girl's soft hair brushing against his chin and cheeks. It was very light, itchy, and numb...
Ye Zhen looked at him carefully and said worriedly: "Cousin, I'm sorry, I didn't see you. Get up quickly and let me see if you are hurt?"
Sheng Lun came back to his senses. Although he felt inexplicably familiar, it was impossible.
He looked at the pretty girl beside him and thought it was impossible.
He was definitely in a daze, maybe he was thinking too much, so he mistook others for her.
But how could she be his cousin
"Don't worry, I'm fine." He stood up, and the girl next to him also stood up and patted the grass clippings behind his shoulder. Sheng Jing and Sheng Hui, who saw the surprise there, also gathered around and asked worriedly if everything was okay. Bar? Was it hurt
Ye Zhen shook her head and said she was not injured: "My cousin protected me."
Sheng Lun returned to his previous coolness and elegance: "You have to be careful when playing around, don't go too far."
Ye Zhen, Sheng Jing, and Sheng Hui all responded, wringing their hands and lowering their heads. In front of him were primary school students being scolded by the dean.
Sheng Lun looked at Ye Zhen's hair and felt more and more that she couldn't be her.
…
Sheng Lun went back to his room to take a shower and changed into clean clothes, which also refreshed his dazed mind.
How could he mistake her for his cousin
Although if you think about it carefully, Ye Zhen and she have the same long hair, even the length is very similar, and they have the same petite body. Looking from the back, except for the different clothes, they seem to be very similar to each other.
But their voices are different. One has the clear and crisp voice of a girl, like an oriole, while the other seems to be more mature.
More importantly, his cousin is cute and cute, but also so timid. How could she be... like him
The woman in Sheng Lun's memory was a bit bold, very bold, and she was even more bold and bad when she deliberately held her tightly to make him come out and laughed.
So it's just a misunderstanding.
Sheng Lun didn't think too much about it, even though they seemed to have many similarities.
Although he didn't think about it, when he saw Ye Zhen, he couldn't help but compare her with her in his memory. He couldn't help but look at her - this was the first woman who gave him similar feelings.
Recently, when he saw a woman at school and on the roadside, he couldn't help but take a second look. Her hair was not the same, no; her back was not the same, no; her height was not the same, no... And her hands, her hands were petite and soft.
Sheng Lun's eyes fell on Ye Zhen's hands. The girl's hands were clean and white, with slender fingers. The neatly cut nails were cute and round half-arcs, and the nail caps were all pink.
… Such cute hands can’t be that bad.
He lowered his eyes and ate his food, silently reciting the Heart-Cleaning Mantra several times in his heart.
He shouldn't associate his good cousin with her bad one.
Ye Zhen was being looked at by Sheng Lun. No matter how calm he was, she still had feelings. She had experienced many worlds and her soul and spirit were in a better state. She could naturally detect Sheng Lun's gaze. He wondered and explored, and finally denied himself. , thinking about it is also confusing.
Ye Zhen's attitude was natural and she just pretended that she didn't notice anything. However, she thought that Sheng Lun was too sharp to put suspicion on her so quickly. Apart from that fall, she had never done anything that could cause trouble. The thing that makes people suspicious—the clothes are still well hidden in the cabinet.
Wang Minglan talked about the matter at the dinner table and said that she met Mrs. Dong and Dong Xue when she went out today. They invited them to have lunch together, but she refused. Sheng Shihua nodded and said that she did a good job. Sheng Lun's attitude was normal and she just pretended not to hear anything. .
After taking a short break after lunch, Ye Zhen went to Shenglun's study to write test papers.
She was lying on the desk writing, and the elegant man in front of her was leaning on a wooden chair, holding a blue-covered book in his hand. He looked at the book, glanced at her from time to time, looked at her hair, chin and lips, and then It's the hand.
He remained calm, watching and finally rubbing his eyebrows, his cold eyes filled with confusion.
Ye Zhen: "Cousin, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." He closed the book and raised his eyes to look at her. She was clean and looked at him very naturally. She didn't look like she had ever done anything before...
This afternoon was a bit tense. The man's eyes always glanced at her, cold and cold, which made everyone a little nervous. He is too keen, maybe he will really see something
Moreover, Ye Zhen noticed that the book he held in his hand was not a book at all, but a bound sketchbook. The pages looked like a short story, but the content of the story was a bit incomprehensible to outsiders.
After staying up all afternoon, as soon as Sheng Lun said he would take a break, Ye Zhen immediately threw down the pen, said thank you for your hard work, cousin, and ran away. Her impatient look could make people laugh out loud.
Sheng Lun thought again, could such a girl be her
He had told himself countless times that it was not possible, that the two people's personalities, words and deeds were very different, but he couldn't help but chase Ye Zhen. Maybe he should hold her hand and confirm whether it was true or not. Not the pair he remembered.
But shaking hands became a problem again. He and Ye Zhen were not in a relationship where they could shake hands casually.
