Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career
Chapter 21 Wind and Rain
Mu Qing asked people to keep an eye on Zhihe and the Li Mansion, and reported to him as soon as there was any movement from Li Shaowen.But the news came that Li Shaowen didn't see the end of the dragon at all, Zhilan's cold never recovered, and visits were always evasive.Coupled with the sudden shortening of the marriage period, the time became more and more tense and insufficient, and Mu Qing was feeling irritable. He already had an inexplicable premonition, but he didn't dare to think about it in a worse direction.
His work attitude was suddenly severe, and the servants in the family and the staff in the silver building had to be cautious, for fear of being punished by him for doing something wrong.
Li Shaowen returned to the city on the morning of the third day.As soon as he got off the train, he asked the servants at home to take the things back.He asked the driver to drive directly to the Zhou mansion, and picked up Zhilan for a light meal.
Today I took her to the Faxing Western Restaurant next to the French Concession on Zhanqian Road to eat western food.
"The steak here is very good, Lan'er, please try it. Guess where I have been these few days?" Li Shaowen was full of interest and smiled.
And Zhilan looked at him indifferently, without any desire to guess.
"Forget it. Just tell you, I went to Shanghai and brought you back the most fashionable wedding dress. Look!" He said, handing her a packed box.
Zhilan unwrapped the silk knot of the packing box, and the white wedding dress was neatly folded, decorated with decorative silver beads, and the veil seemed very long.
"I bought it according to your body size. You can take it home and try it out. If it doesn't fit, I'll ask the master to change it."
Zhilan's fingers touched the roughness of the white gauze, and her heart was full of bumps. There was an indescribable feeling, a little panic and a little uneasiness. This wedding dress was reminding her that the wedding was just around the corner, and she had completely lost the love in her heart. Although she no longer has the ability to grasp what is left in her hand.
After eating, this time he sent her directly back to the Zhou mansion, and when Zhilan got out of the car, Li Shaowen hugged her halfway and said, "Oh, I really don't want to be separated from you. These days, I have never tasted the taste of being unwilling to eat and can't sleep at night." I miss you so much."
Zhi Lan couldn't get excited, so she just replied casually, "Yes."
"Heartless Lan'er." Li Shaowen was not satisfied with her answer, he hugged her suddenly, and whispered in his ear: "I miss you so much, I love you so much, as a reward, kiss me before you go in, okay?"
Zhi Lan was hugged suddenly by him, and she was at the door of the house again, she was unprepared, and said in a low voice: "I haven't recovered from the cold, are you afraid of being infected?"
Li Shaowen tightened his grip on her waist, said with a smirk, "I'm not afraid, why are you ashamed? Don't forget that in the garden..."
What Zhilan was most afraid of was bringing up that matter, so she had to compromise, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips perfunctorily. Li Shaowen didn't think it was enough, so he wanted to kiss her back.
"Li Shaowen, what are you doing? Let go of Lan'er!" Mu Qing suddenly saw this scene when she got off the car.
"It's the second brother. Lan'er is my fiancée, why not make out with her?" Li Shaowen asked with a half-smile.
"Lan'er, she doesn't want to marry you. I just want to talk to you, so it's best to take this opportunity to talk about it. You and my Lan'er are not suitable, and we will divorce you." Mu Qing was depressed for many days and couldn't find it. The target's words finally came out.
"Oh? Really? Why didn't I hear her talk about it? Marriage is a matter between me and her, and I want Lan'er to tell me." Li Shaowen turned to look at Zhilan with an expression of being convinced of her.
"Lan'er, tell him what you think!" Mu Qing stared at her eagerly.
"I..." Zhilan didn't want to tell her true feelings, but she lost all her way out.Even if Mu Qing didn't mind, she still felt sorry for him, there was nothing she could do, there was nothing she could do!
She and Mu Qing looked at each other with moist eyes and said, "Brother... I'm sorry..."
"You heard me, second brother. My brother-in-law is leaving first." Li Shaowen saluted intentionally, and said, arching his hands and raising his legs to get into the car.
Zhilan turned around and ran, tears dripping out of her eyes unstoppable.
Mu Qing finally understood, something must have happened during this time, otherwise how could she have changed her mind so quickly?He was determined to find out.
"Let's go, let's go to the lake." Mu Qing caught up with her, pulled her towards the door.
Fenghuang poked her head out and saw Yan Cui packing the fallen wedding dress box.Mu Qing dragged Zhi Lan to go out, the third lady seemed to be crying, she had already intuited that there was something wrong with the two of them, so she quietly followed behind.
Mu Qing pulled and dragged Zhilan to the gazebo by the lake, and asked emotionally: "Why didn't you reject him in front of Li Shaowen? You don't love him at all. Besides, because of your background, You are not the daughter of the Zhou family, you should have corrected all this and found your true life and happiness..."
Zhi Lan murmured: "I know, but it's not important."
"It's not important, what's important? What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Shaowen give you?"
Fenghuang found a hidden bush and squatted down.Just in time to hear the conversation in the gazebo. "What! Miss San is not..." She covered her mouth with so much information.
"It's not...I..." Zhilan defended, but her words were so weak.
"Then why? What position do you put our feelings in, and what should you do?" Mu Qing got angrier and angrier when she got her unclear answer.
Zhilan can't speak, even if he tells Mu Qing clearly, what can be changed, what he gets is nothing more than increased sadness, will he be disappointed in himself?If the old man forces him to go out, Li Shaowen's aggressive wedding will be imminent next Wednesday.She must not push Mu Qing into a desperate situation, and she does not want to leave the impression that she is not perfect in his heart.But she will still shrink back because of reluctance, it is really too late.
"Tell me, Lan'er!" Mu Qing pressed repeatedly, causing the thoughts she had imagined recently to emerge: long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Since Mu Qing can't change the result of marrying Li Shaowen, he is doomed to miss him in this life, so he might as well just break up. Read his thoughts!Let him forget to live a good life by himself.As soon as the thought came out, her heart trembled and bled, and she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand up.
She made up her mind cruelly and said: "Brother, I'm sorry. I can't tell Li Shaowen about retiring the engagement, because I just like that you all love me, and you can't do without my feeling. Watching you be my servants , I am very happy." As soon as she said those words, she felt her heart constricting violently, and her whole body was cold and desolate.She and him are definitely over like this.She was about to shed tears, but she viciously ordered herself not to shed tears, as long as there was such a tear, he would see through her lie.
"What are you talking about Zhou Zhilan? From the beginning to the end, what do you think of me as an abandoned child who comes and goes when you call him?" Mu Qing couldn't believe it.
"That's right." Zhi Lan gritted her teeth fiercely.
"You!" Mu Qing was such a gentle person, his words aroused his temper, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.Suddenly he hugged her, took a deep breath, and said with a different tone and expression: "I don't believe what you just said. Look at me, Lan'er, I don't believe you think so, I don't believe you don't know what's going on in your heart." Me, everything before was just pretending and acting." Mu Qing's tone was gentle and quiet, with the power of bewitching and hypnotic, Zhi Lan was completely intoxicated by the eyes of this vast lake.
He covered her lips logically, and lightly pecked the outline of Lan's lips: "Tell me, Lan'er, you love me."
"No—" Zhilan hastily pushed him away.
"You don't want to? He, but you are willing?..." Mu Qing fell silent, and the enthusiasm was swept away, "I completely understand. When did you start to fall in love with him, I was just pretending to be passionate."
Zhilan read his loneliness, her heart was twisted like a knife, her lips trembled, and she only uttered three words: "Yes... yes... no... sorry."
Fenghuang had a panoramic view of all this, and in an instant, her emotions fell from surprise to loss, and she couldn't help being sad. After hearing Zhilan's cruel words in the end, she secretly looked at the disillusioned second young master, secretly hating Zhilan.
She didn't know when she had already silently liked Mu Qing.Even though her status is humble, she can't stop her love for him, as long as he asks her to do it, she is willing.Even if she knew that the second young master fell in love with the third young lady, she was still willing to settle for the next best thing, as long as she could serve by Mu Qing's side.When she witnessed and heard the words of the third young lady deeply hurt the second young master, she was willing to bear this kind of pain on his behalf.She hated Zhi Lan even more for hurting her sweetheart.She gritted her teeth secretly, resisting not to rush out to question Zhilan on the spot.
"Let's go." Mu Qing waved his hands weakly, "I'll be alone for a while."
Knowing that her heart was bleeding, Zhi Lan looked at him quietly, hesitated for a while, and sighed.She turned around and clenched her fists, and walked away with soft steps.
Seeing her leaving, Mu Qing's legs softened and her body swayed, almost falling down.
Phoenix rushed out at the right time and supported him.She tried her best to help him sit down on the stone bench in the gazebo.
"Why are you here? Did you hear what I said to Miss San?" Mu Qing asked inquiringly, thinking that if she really heard their conversation, she might not be able to keep this girl.
"No. I came to the lake to find the earrings I lost. Just as the third lady was leaving, Shunyan noticed that you almost fell down. Did you quarrel with the third lady? How could there be any overnight feud between brothers and sisters? Second young master, don't think too much about it." Fenghuang replied with a forced smile.
"Hey... help me back to my room." Mu Qing understood her voice, and did not suspect her.
After that day, Zhilan never saw Mu Qing at home again, it hurt him so deeply, she didn't know how to face him, maybe this is good.The Li family came to change the date, and it will be next Wednesday.Time was running out, so the family had no choice but to set aside Zhilan's dowry for Yuehua's wedding.
Li Shaowen is very accurate in seeing women, and Zhilan tried on the wedding dress and it fit her well.In the mirror, she seemed to be a different person, beautiful and dignified.She looked at herself in the mirror, fantasizing that the groom was Mu Qing, a smile curled up on her lips.
The days are uneventful, and I live step by step.Mu Qing resented Zhi Lan, so she put all her mind on work and slept in the guest room of the silver building at night.
Fenghuang couldn't see Muqing for several days. Seeing the lights and festoons at home beaming with joy, and the heroine Zhilan living peacefully, she was full of lovesickness and hatred, and fell on Zhilan.Someday... she thought, frowning.
His work attitude was suddenly severe, and the servants in the family and the staff in the silver building had to be cautious, for fear of being punished by him for doing something wrong.
