Fall in love with your enemy

The next time, the old man gave me a whole pair of pearls used in my grandma’s wedding. At first, I just thought that this thing was valuable and had some status in the Fu family. It wasn’t until after the dinner that my mother-in-law took me out to chat, I didn’t know …

What the hell? ! Can this thing's status in their circle be on the same level as the hovering golden dragon piercing the cloud bracelet given to me by the Gao family's grandma? ? ? No...the Gao family and the Fu family are not of the same standard?

My mother-in-law took me to a long corridor and sat down. The breeze blew by. She stroked my wind-blown hair and tapped my forehead: "Silly girl, you underestimate the Fu family too much. Remember back then?" Your grandfather has made a fortune from scratch. My father has to thank him for his support before he can sit on the throne of the head of the Gao family. You are young and are not very close to him. It is possible that you don’t understand him. Then you see Look at your father and two uncles. They are said to be in the middle level of the Chamber of Commerce. They are usually quiet and seem not to cause any trouble. But if you go out and ask, who doesn't know them? Who dares to provoke them? They all want to The power of the Fu family is not considered offending. On the other hand, the Gao family is said to be the pinnacle of the business world, but those who dare to cause trouble are like leeks, which cannot be cut off! It is just internal fighting. The five families are not related by blood. Harmony, if there is a slight disturbance, it will cause chaos."

"That's it..." I seemed to understand and nodded.

"So, it's not that the Fu family is not top-notch, it's just that it's low-key. The old man suffered the consequences of being high-profile, and he changed his style of doing things when he was older. You know, he was nicknamed 'Grocery Store Owner' in his early years. 'Well, it's because he is involved in all aspects of business and can speak well in all aspects. Because of this, he can let your father and uncles take charge of several different fields and still be able to handle them with ease." The mother-in-law smiled slightly and pinched He pinched my palm and said: "My good daughter, in fact, even if the Fu family is not that powerful, the Gao family still has your backing. You will always be the daughter-in-law recognized by the Gao family. With the coiled dragon bracelet in your hand, you can measure up to no one." I don’t dare to bully you.”

"That's true." Suddenly I heard something I liked, and I instantly let go of everything I was unhappy about, and I even felt a little proud.

I also have Gao Xinci. I have already experienced how kind he is to me. Being Mrs. Gao is indeed a refreshing job!

However, Gao Xinci's avoidance of me still made me very dissatisfied!

"Okay, I won't disturb your time to recuperate. There are still some things to do at the shipyard. Mom has to go back after she goes to put some incense sticks on the old man." My mother-in-law said and was about to get up. I quickly accompanied her, but at the last moment she suddenly came back. Turning around: "I almost forgot! One more thing, from time to time, when you look at your home from your perspective, you may feel a little aggrieved and want to take revenge. No one has the power to persuade you to let go, but you must remember In a word, even if you hate someone again, don't let him see it."

"Why... don't you let him know?" I was a little confused.

"If the other party knows about it, they will definitely be wary of you at every turn. If your competition is evenly matched, there will still be risks. If the enemy is strong and you are weak, it will not be an advantage. This may be a bit of a conspiracy theory and not very gentlemanly, but the reality is In this way, high-profile people often lose miserably at the hands of conspirators. Mom said this is not to make you wary of anyone, but to teach you how to protect yourself in a big house. You must also learn to respond at the right time. Scenario usage, do you understand?”

"understood……"

I silently reasoned carefully about what my mother-in-law said, and found that it was indeed the truth. It was a pity that I didn't understand it earlier. In the past few days, I was so feverish that I almost went to heaven. I smiled bitterly and wanted to complain. Mother-in-law, why didn’t you tell me earlier?

My mother-in-law pinched my face and smiled: "This is what Xin Ci said. He is worried about it, so he asked me to tell you."

Ugh! It turns out to be Gao Xinci! Then I'm not welcome. I'll call him later and bombard him with why he didn't tell me earlier! ! !

"Let's go." My mother-in-law waved her hand, turned around and strode towards the ancestral hall. I looked at her back and couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. Sometimes I wonder how strong I have to be to live like my mother-in-law. appearance?

Her original family was unhappy. Her father raised her single-handedly and never allowed her to have a youth. He trained her to become a family boss. Later, she finally got married, and her married life was not happy. She was excellent in all aspects. However, she happened to meet a supercilious wolf like Shang Mingyu. Fortunately, her son was still up to par. Now that she was over forty, she could finally see hope for the future.

As I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly vibrated several times. When I looked down, I saw that it was Liang Sen who was bombarding me with text messages. The content was reduced to one sentence: Liu Zonglan's matter has somehow calmed down. Now even her parents have disappeared. Southwest Nursing Home Calm as if this person had never been there.

"See you in Guiyanting in ten minutes." I called Liang Sen. Without further ado, I rushed to Guiyanting as fast as I could.

When I went back, all the guests had left, but the old man, the second uncle, the cousin, the second grandma and the third grandma were still sitting there, their faces were ashen, and no one spoke, but their eyes could tell. Seeing how terrible the killing was, I didn't dare to say anything, so I had to hide behind the barrier and prepare to see what mime they were going to perform.

It was my old master who took the lead and broke the silence with a smile: "Some children just don't know their own abilities. Now the world has changed. The most valuable thing is life. Do you think her life can get any good results? For 'Beautiful', it's really not worth making such a joke."

"Cough cough!"

The uncle coughed in embarrassment, and all the eyes of the audience immediately turned to him, and then...it became even more embarrassing!

"Brother, you are making insinuations... It makes me feel awkward. If you have something to say, just say it. But it's really not my fault. What does it have to do with me..." The uncle muttered with a dry smile, After he finished speaking, he looked around and found that no one agreed with his point of view.

Well, it's obvious that they were talking about Liu Zonglan. In fact, I also think that Liu Zonglan's accidental death was probably a suicide.

First, everyone present and Liu Zonglan actually don’t have much hatred. The only thing that can be said is that the third grandma and I are absolutely impossible to do anything. As for the third grandma, Liu Zonglan just did not complete the task well. That's it, she didn't sell the third grandma. There is no need for the third grandma to do such a thing. Even if it is to harm me, there is no need to risk the reputation of the whole family. Yu Ting just died. If another Liu Zonglan dies, what will the outsiders do? Look at our Fu family?

Secondly, the guards at the Southwest Sanatorium are very strict. Family members cannot enter the nursing home at all. Moreover, I heard from Liang Sen that there is a lot of power behind the nursing home. It is unlikely that someone from the Fu family would threaten him and then join in harming others to cause trouble for him. .

Third, there was a reason for Liu Zonglan's death. She often used perfume that attracts snakes and insects. If someone was really planning it, a human life could obviously be put to better use. No matter who did it, they would not leave such an obvious flaw, unless it was someone else. Liu Zonglan was isolated and helpless. She had no choice, so perfume was naturally the only way.

Liu Zonglan originally had a bright future, but she was willing to come to Fu's house to be a girl cleaning the garden. She had to pretend to be pitiful on the surface, but secretly worked hard to do things for the third grandma. Uncle, so I don’t believe it if you say that your uncle is completely innocent!

After all, being beautiful is also a sin...

"Who said anything about you, please don't put too much gold on yourself, okay? How old are you and still pretending to be delicate? You are not afraid of children laughing at you. I'm talking about Shu Chen!" However, my old man does not take the usual path, and my uncle As soon as the words of responsibility came out, Lao Fu immediately gave him a look of disdain and disgust.

The uncle's whole face wrinkled into the shape of "囧", and he let out a confused "Ah". The cousin who was suddenly cue was also completely confused and shook as if he was electrocuted.

The old man pointed to a repair dog sticking out his tongue at the door: "That's Shuchen's puppy, named Doudou. He's a little hooligan. When he saw my Laifu, he jumped up to me. My Laifu Already matched with Wangcai, I don't want to pay attention to him at all, okay? Doudou still shamelessly clings to it, even pretending to be dead. It's up to my Laifu's sharp eyes to see this kid's treacherous plot, otherwise it will be over! Shuchen, you must have taught Doudou these things, you have always been narcissistic!" The old man looked distressed, and it looked more sad to marry a dog than to marry me! He even took the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge!

The cousin got the idea of ​​Lao Fu, and by the way, the guardian began to quibble: "You are narcissistic! This is the self-confidence I should have. Also, Doudou is very well-behaved, uncle, your Laifu's legs are so short and long It's so ugly, even if my Doudou is interested in wealth, he won't like Laifu!"

"Wangcai and Doudou are both little male dogs, how can they be a pair!" Old Fu knocked the water cup.

"Why not!" The cousin raised his voice and pointed at the old man: "Uncle, you said that you are open-minded and reasonable, but you can't even accept the sincere feelings of a cute puppy?" The cousin said, making a heart gesture with his hands. He came up to Old Fu and said solemnly: "Respect love."

The old man is stupid, and so am I. Although it is right to respect love, this is too outrageous!

"Anyway, Doudou will definitely not pester Laifu. How can a Teddy and a Corgi go together? Teddy! I can't even imagine it!" My cousin's eyes widened and he gave Laifu a With a look of contempt, he grabbed his baby Doudou and kissed it twice.

Although it is indeed inappropriate to laugh in such a scene, I can't help it.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Only my brother-in-law couldn't laugh. What was originally a good discussion about the conspiracy theory about Liu Zonglan's death suddenly turned into a discussion about dogs. How embarrassing for him, a cat-like teacher! His face is so dark now, and what did the old man mean when he said he was old!

"Hey, wait, wait! Where did you go! Brother, what do you mean? As the saying goes, a good man is worth thirty-one flowers. Why am I pretending to be young when I am in my early thirties!" The uncle has never been so excited, and his mouth is watering. It's about to squirt on Lao Fu's face.

However, my old man...

Caressing my uncle's face with sincere eyes! The uncle's expression was like a centipede crawling on his face, and he instantly became a low-end version of the God of War with a crooked mouth. The old man spoke very kindly and gently: "Yanyan, look at you, you have been busy for a few days, and your face is sallow and thin! My face is full of wrinkles! In the past, when we went out together, we both thought I was your dad. Now that we go out again, we finally deserve the title of brothers. Be good, go back to your wife and ask for two facial masks, or else we will live forever. In two days, you will be my brother!”

At the last sentence, the old man used a little force and bared his teeth to push the uncle's face away.

The uncle was stunned, tremblingly took out the mirror from his pocket, looked at it, and then suddenly got up and sprinted 100 meters! I guess I went to ask my aunt for a facial mask.

It was really interesting and really made me laugh. I was scared outside. After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that this was not a big deal to Lao Fu and the others! Fortunately, I had the self-knowledge and didn't interfere. It's just a pity that human life is so worthless.

Forget it, Liu Zonglan brought it upon herself. She insisted on looking down upon herself and fluttering into the flames. Who could save her? It's me who's the poor one! No one in the old house is doing anything serious. They are all fighting over the little assets in my name, which is shameless.

At this moment, Liang Sen, who appeared out of nowhere, nodded at me and motioned for me to go out and talk. I thought about it, even if my role with Lao Fu was over, there was no need to stay, so I followed Liang Sen. Going out, according to the old man's request, I am going back to the small courtyard. What awaits me next is probably another long period of confinement.

"Miss, I just went to inquire about the situation. They said that there was a sudden amount of money in the account of Liu Zonglan's parents. It's unclear where the source is, but it is most likely given by our manager." Liang Sen said.

"No need to guess, it must be Lao Fu. Not only that, I also know something else. Where do you guess Liu Zonglan's body went?" I turned around and smiled at Liang Sen, slightly tired.

He was stunned for a while, and then his expression became exaggerated. Thinking about it carefully, where have we seen something that seemed to be a corpse?

Why did Shao Qin go to the door of Xiuchun Building and scatter a box of ashes for no reason? What does that box of ashes mean? I feel chills and creeps on my back just thinking about it now. I really didn’t expect how I would die. It's still the most painful thing in the family. It's better than breaking up the ashes. When I catch the murderer in the future, I have to hold his hand and say a friendly thank you.

"Then there can only be Liu in that box..." Liang Sen murmured.

"Shh, just know it, don't say it." I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

Liang Sen was shocked for a while and then returned to silence. After all, he had seen more than me and was somewhat calmer than me. But despite this, he still got a lot of goosebumps.

"Don't be afraid, miss." Liang Sen patted me on the shoulder.

"I'm not afraid, I just didn't expect that just a trip back to my old house would cause so much trouble. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come back. Oh, by the way, I told you before that Yun Yan and the others should go to school. ?"

"It's done, let's go tomorrow."

"Also, the old master's order came down. It was originally said that except for the closest stewards to the master's family, all other stewards in the family should be driven away, including the steward Li Yuanye. But I thought about it carefully. These people After staying in the old house for such a long time, I knew a little bit about the dirty things inside. It was inevitable that one or two people would want to take revenge on the Fu family if they were all kicked out. So I asked the old man to change, and only removed them from their posts and let them return from their posts. Starting from the bottom, I also left the last bit for the second wife and the third wife. The election of the new steward has been given to me by the old man. I thought about the balance of power and decided on three housekeepers. We and the second and third housekeepers each If one comes out, there will be nothing to say except that the second uncle has kept Qi Cheng, and the rest of the management will be left to you, just pick a few that are easy to handle."

"clear."

After arranging the business, Liang Sen and I had a quiet walk together again. As the sun set, the silhouettes of people gradually lengthened.

As soon as I entered the Qianhe Hall, the door was locked again. I watched helplessly as Shao Qin led others to block the door. People stand in front of me.

"Miss, we really can't stop you if you want to go out, but I beg you to be merciful and think about it for the brothers. Last time the hospital didn't keep you safe, half of your salary was deducted, and next time it won't be about money. Come on, brothers really need this job." Shao Qin looked at me coldly and said, the uncles behind him looked more sincere and almost cried.

Of course I know that it is not easy for them. Most of them are unemployed vagrants with no skills, and most of them have some kind of illness or family difficulties, so it is difficult to find a job. Fortunately, my old man has a compassionate heart, and in the spirit of The concept that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda keeps them by their side. Even if they sometimes get into trouble, they will still be paid as usual, but the premise is that the content of the trouble has nothing to do with me.

I was really the apple of my eye, but it made him look stern and embarrassed. I sighed.

"Sorry everyone, it was my fault before. I will double the salary for everyone. Don't worry, everyone, I won't go out, just to enjoy the wind and look at the moon." When I said this, I wanted to laugh at myself.

"Thank you, miss." Shao Qin still looked cold, but underneath the cold appearance was a warm and loyal heart, otherwise it would be none of his business if the old man deducted the bodyguard's salary.

I smiled bitterly, this time not out of instinct, but bowed to Shao Qin with sincere admiration, and added by the way: "It was my fault for being rude before, and I will change it in the future."

I don’t know whether Shao Qin laughed or not, but after saying this, I turned around and left in a cool manner.

Later, the nurse sister came over to give me medicine. As soon as I pulled down my clothes, there was another knock on the door, and my uncle's voice came from outside: "Shishi, are you asleep?"

"No." After a moment of confusion, I quickly put on my clothes and motioned to the girl guarding the door to open the door. Outside the door was my uncle who was in high spirits after applying a facial mask.

"Have you taken any medicine?" my uncle asked standing at the door.

"Not yet." I replied.

My uncle was chatting surprisingly little at the moment. After entering the door, he pulled me in, took the medicine from the nurse sister’s hand, and left. I didn’t ask anything, and I vaguely guessed what he meant.

Shao Qin and the others didn't stop me when they saw that I was being taken away by my uncle. It seemed that it was under the instructions of the old man. Therefore, my uncle wanted to take me to solve the big problem of the third mistress.

When we arrived at the door of Xiuchun Tower, we could still hear the third grandma cursing inside through the door. But as soon as my uncle and I entered, she was silent again. She sat on the Taishi chair in the main hall, watching her uncle pull her I looked so angry that I stopped pretending and turned my back to ignore us.

My brother-in-law was optimistic, and his playful smile made the third grandma look back.

"Mom, Shishi is injured and hasn't applied any medicine yet. Please help her."

The third grandma rolled her eyes at her uncle angrily: "That's your good niece. You love her, so you can do it for her."

"This is just a joke. The girl is old, do you think I'd like to be your uncle?" The uncle paused, then suddenly felt a little sad out of nowhere, and his eyes were red, "Mom, we have too few girls in our family. If If there is one less, it will be even more pitiful, right?"

The third grandma’s expression changed for a moment. She wanted to cry but couldn’t, and she couldn’t get angry even if she wanted to. I don’t know how to describe this scene. I don’t know why, but I was infected inexplicably. In an instant, my liver and intestines were broken, and I couldn’t bear to die.

The third grandma finally gritted her teeth and picked up a tea cup on the table and threw it at her uncle. The uncle did not protect himself, but just raised his hand to block me. The cup fell on his elbow, It fell to the ground, and the crisp and sweet cracking sound broke the deathly tranquility of the old house, followed by the third grandma's hysterical roar and deafening cry.

I suddenly felt that she was also pitiful.

Every soul locked in a big mansion is pitiful. Even if it is already the 21st century, as long as greed and hatred in the world do not end, the miserable people will never disappear.

The third grandma cried for a while and finally came down from the hall and pulled me by my sleeves and took me to the room. I didn't resist and let her pull me in and throw me on the small sofa. She took a deep breath behind me. In one breath, I wiped away the tears on my face. When I looked back, she put on her usual loving expression towards me and said softly to me: "Girl Shi, please change the dressing."

I pulled down my top and turned my back to her. Although I couldn't see it, I could still feel her surprise after seeing the purple scars all over my body. The mask was taken off again. She forgot that I was her biggest enemy. With her cold fingertips, she gently stroked each of my scars. She asked me in a low voice, "Is this... your father's injection?"

She never thought that the meal of baguette she gave me could trigger so many shocking old wounds.

I shook my head and said softly: "No, it's mom."

She was stunned again and did not ask me the next question. When she came to her senses, she just dutifully applied medicine to me, and then sent me out again, as if I had lost my soul.

My uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I came out unscathed. He called me to his side and pinched my face. His face was full of bitterness but he forced himself to smile and forced me to smile. He was silent for a long time. , finally condensed the thousands of words in my heart into one sentence: "Go home, I will go back tomorrow."

I nodded, and he wiped the tears from my eyes and pushed me out of Xiuchun Tower.

I stood at the door and could still see his tall figure, my hand gently placed on the door.

"You did it on purpose, son. You are truly worthy of being born by my mother. You are truly the person who knows my mother best in this world. You know your mother's weaknesses very well and how you can let her go. You win." .”

"Mom means, Shishi can leave tomorrow, right?"

"You've already made your promise, how can I stand up to you?"

"Thank you mom."

The white paper window revealed the figures of the uncle and the third grandmother. The third grandmother walked towards the uncle slowly, gently caressed the uncle's face as if caressing my wound, and said in a deep voice like the ultimate mother who loves her child: " Mingyan, my son, it would have been nice if it was you who died twenty years ago. Now, I don’t have to deal with the gangsters in Lao Zhai anymore.”

The paper window caught two drops of bitter tears falling quietly.

My uncle still said the same thing: "Thank you, Mom."

I was almost out of breath, so I hit my heart several times with all my strength, but it still didn't go smoothly, and I almost scratched it through my clothes, leaving a bloody mark.

Forget it.

I'd better be obedient, just be obedient.

go home.

It's time for me to go home.
