In the dance hall, Sun Chenxian hurried over after receiving a call from the dancer, took the drunk Man Lu back to his home, and threw him on the bathroom floor.After that, she didn't have the slightest thought of pity and pity, and directly poured a basin of iced water on Manlu's head.

"Are you awake? Stand up for me when you wake up! Do you still want me to help you?" Sun Chenxian threw the basin on the ground, turned and left.

"Sun, Dr. Sun?" After being poured with ice water, Man Lu was half awake, and looked around in confusion, "Why am I here?"

"Why are you here? Hmph, you are really courageous. You didn't come home at night and went to the dance hall to drink. If Luna hadn't called me, you might crawl on the bed of some wretched old man tomorrow. Get up." Sun Chenxian said.

Man Lu is not stupid after all, so she naturally knows that this is a good word.At that moment, she was also a little scared.I am a helpless single woman, drunk in such a place where fish and dragons are mixed, then...

Thinking of drinking, Man Lu once again thought of Li Xia who left her to go abroad, and she couldn't hold back her tears, just like a faucet turned on.

"She left... She went to the United States, and she actually left me like this. I thought we just had a quarrel, but I didn't expect that she really wanted to break up. Why? My father also quarreled with my mother before his death She was so nice, so gentle and considerate, and so tolerant of me, why did she leave so simply and so unfeelingly? Why?" Manlu sat on the ground, crying like a child.

Sun Chenxian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.Thinking of Li Xia's lonely figure and pale face when she went abroad, she just felt that a good cabbage was given to a pig (of course the cabbage was Li Xia), and the pig didn't appreciate it.

"Because you only love your big family in your heart, and you don't love Dr. Li at all." Sun Chenxian said, "Anyone would choose to leave you."

Then, she told Man Lu all the grievances, bitterness, and dissatisfaction that Li Xia had suffered in the past year.

Li Xia did promise Man Lu to support the family for her, that's right.But what counts as support?Could it be that just because Li Xia and Man Lu are together, the Gu family will live in a big house, hire servants, charter drivers, and the children of the Gu family will all dress like young masters and ladies from rich families?

In order not to affect Man Lu's studies, Li Xia didn't tell her anything.And after Man Lu learned about this from Sun Chenxian, she was also extremely shocked.She always felt that although the Gu family had spent Li Xia's money, there was nothing they could do. After all, the old and the young were unable to work, and they had to maintain the life of the whole family.But from the looks of it now, where are they sustaining their lives?They clearly regard Li Xia as a cash cow!

In other words, they actually used Manlu as a money-making tool.By default, Man Lu and Li Xia live together in exchange for Li Xia's financial support.To put it more bluntly, it is to "sacrifice" Man Lu in exchange for their affluent life.

"If you don't believe what I'm saying, you can go to Gu's house and take a good look for yourself." Sun Chenxian said, "The food, clothing, supplies, houses, and furniture they now have are not as good as those of the little rich people? After all, you have been a dancer in a dance hall for a while, and you have entered the society. You are not a simple student girl who doesn't understand anything, right? You can also try to observe whether your so-called family members Li Xia has been a family member? Not to mention family members, have they ever thanked her from the bottom of their hearts? Thanks to this "golden master" who has raised them for so long. Especially your little brothers and sisters, you should observe carefully Bar."

"I'm going to the United States next month. You can take care of yourself in the future. If you pass out drunk in a dance hall, no one will come to rescue you."

"The members of the Gu family are your family, not mine. I don't need to whitewash them. To be honest, they are a group of out-and-out vampires."

After returning home by rickshaw, Man Lu sat on the bed all night.

Since that incident, Manlu never let her family come here again.Because she believed that Li Xia would come back one day.And she wanted to keep the house as it was, so that Li Xia would feel better when she came back.Today, Li Xia's aura can still be vaguely felt in the huge house, and traces of Li Xia remain.

That night, Manlu thought about many things.At the beginning, she dropped out of school and became a dancer, supporting her younger siblings to go to school, and also feeding and drinking for the whole family.And although my mother loves herself, she always complains in her ears that the tuition fees of her younger brothers and sisters are not enough.She didn't seem to know that this would subtly drive her daughter into the abyss from which she could not turn back.Perhaps, she has acquiesced that the eldest daughter "should" sacrifice for the whole family.

Being a dancer is not a glorious profession, and the neighbors gradually began to point fingers.The little brothers felt that they had humiliated them, and gradually, they never gave themselves a good look.Whenever something goes wrong, he still loses his temper at himself.The eldest sister Manzhen is a little more sensible, comforting herself from time to time.However, she never asked herself not to be a dancer, she dropped out of school to work with herself.

For some reason, she remembered the "vampire" that Sun Chenxian said.

The Gu family are all vampires in essence.Man Zhen is a vampire with a conscience, and several younger brothers are vampires without a conscience, but there is not much difference in essence.They all trampled Manlu into the soil, and absorbed the nutrients from the soil to nourish their noble young masters and ladies.

The next day, Man Lu came to the place where the Gu family lived now.

This house is bigger than the one the Gu family used to live in. At first, Li Xia rented it for them, and then bought it directly for them.When Man Lu arrived, there was another guest at home—her former fiancé, Zhang Yujin, who was also the son of Man Lu's grandma's niece.She was the same age as her, and since she dropped out of school for more than a year, Zhang Yujin is now in college.

When Zhang Yujin was studying in Shanghai and lived in a dormitory, Man Lu and him have been writing letters and seeing each other often.Knowing her father's death, Manlu went out to be a dancer, so she proposed to dissolve the engagement.She knew that it was impossible for the Zhang family to want a dancing girl as their daughter-in-law, and no good family would be willing to marry a dancing girl.

This time when I went home, my younger brothers treated me a little better, and even my grandmother seemed to be a lot kinder.

"Man Lu, why are you here? Come on, let's see who is here." Mrs. Gu introduced with great joy. Her husband had believed that Zhang Yujin would be promising in the future, and she had always been optimistic about this son-in-law.Now that Man Lu is no longer a dancer and Dr. Li has left, it is a good time to match them up.Grandma naturally approves.

Zhang Yujin had already heard Manzhen and others talk about their experiences at home during this time, and she felt a little emotional.Although he could understand that Man Lu sacrificed for the family and had no choice but to be a dancer after all, Zhang Yujin felt that she was somewhat prostituted or vulgar.

And when Man Lu really appeared in front of her, the strong contrast surprised him.At this time, Manlu looked pure and beautiful, and she looked full of youthfulness.She was wearing a white dress that Li Xia ordered for her, with long hair and shawls, and she looked like a young beauty on campus.Although his face was slightly haggard, it also added a bit of melancholy beauty.At this time, he vaguely recalled that dreamy and beautiful shadow back then, but the real Man Lu was even more charming than the shadow in his memory.He couldn't help but hope in his heart.

"Man Lu." Zhang Yujin greeted her.

"Yujin." Man Lu responded casually.Immediately, she looked at Mother Gu: "Mom, I have a few things I want to ask you."

"If you have anything to say, you can talk to your mother at any time. Yujin, on the other hand, won't be able to live here for a few days. You should go out with him when you have time." Grandma interjected.

Man Zhen also stood up, took Man Lu's hand and said, "Sister, you are going to college soon, and brother Jin has become estranged a lot these years, why don't we go to the movies together?" Man Zhen said to her sister On the contrary, there is a bit of concern from the heart, and he has matured a lot after experiencing family changes.She purposely emphasized that her sister had already entered university, just to hope that Zhang Yujin would not underestimate Man Lu.In her heart, she also thought that Zhang Yujin would be a good home for Manlu.More importantly, she always thought that Zhang Yujin still had a sister in her heart, and her sister also liked Zhang Yujin.

Man Lu looked at Zhang Yujin, and various scenes of Li Xia and her appeared in her mind.But in the end, she still has some shortcomings in her heart. It is not a decent thing to question her mother in front of outsiders.As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized.She thought to herself, let's talk about it after sending Zhang Yujin away.

But she never thought that Zhang Yujin would live here for nearly a month.

The children are very friendly to Zhang Yujin.Knowing that he was also a medical student, they forced Zhang Yujin to show him and taught him to act as a doctor for them.Zhang Yujin told them what she had learned in college, and after a while the children adored him immensely.There was laughter in the room.

From time to time, Manlu was ordered by her mother to deliver tea to the guests, or do other things.She was thinking about Li Xia in her heart, and seeing how much the children loved Zhang Yujin, she began to feel aggrieved.Zhang Yujin is just in college now, and she only learns superficial things, what kind of Li Xia can't do it?Why couldn't the siblings be as enthusiastic as they were to Zhang Yujin when Li Xia came to the house?Thinking of this in my heart, the expression on my face was not right.

Zhang Yujin seemed to have noticed the angry look on Man Lu's face, and she couldn't continue talking.

"Sister is here?" Manzhen stood up, "Come in, we're hearing about Brother Jin's going to be a doctor. It's so interesting."

Man Lu snorted coldly: "No matter what you want to hear, Sister Xia can speak better than him." Man Lu remembered that when Li Xia came to the house, her younger siblings often gave her a look, showing no respect at all.At that time, she only felt that children were ignorant, so there was no need to worry too much, but now she felt sad for Li Xia, and also for herself.

Why, why should they pay to support these people, and then be looked down upon by them in turn?Thinking of how she used to persecute Li Xia for them, Man Lu wished she could find a way to get in.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

When Li Xia's name was mentioned, Zhang Yujin was also like thunder.Not to mention him, even his teachers were full of respect when they mentioned Li Xia.From Zhang Yujin's point of view, if she can achieve half of the other's achievements in medicine in the future, she will be considered very successful.

But anyway, it was a woman.Even if she is talented and famous, even if she is rejuvenated and dignified, as long as she is a woman, there seems to be a head missing somewhere.If the same achievement was placed on a man, and that man fell in love with Man Lu, Zhang Yujin felt that she would definitely feel ashamed of herself, and would never miss Man Lu again.

But she happens to be a woman.At least in Zhang Yujin's opinion, he is more able to give Manlu happiness than Li Xia, because he is a man.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Man Lu, you are right. It is difficult for me to surpass Dr. Li in medical achievement." Having said this, he paused for a moment, and glanced at Man Zhen and the others.

Manzhen's heart moved, and he stood up immediately: "Qiangmin, Weimin, Jiemin, little sister, go to bed quickly, brother Jin and big sister have something to say."

Before Zhang Yujin could speak, Man Lu spoke first: "Yujin, I don't know what my mother and grandma are planning, but I hope you understand that I am no longer the same person I used to be."

Zhang Yujin's first reaction was that Man Lu was referring to the fact that she had been a dancer and lived with Dr. Li, so she quickly said, "I understand, you are here to support your family. I'm also to blame, and I'm unable to help you." There was a pause After a while, he said again: "Man Lu, now those unpleasant things are over, we can still start again."

Man Lu glanced at him and said, "Come with me."

Without knowing it, Zhang Yujin went in and followed.

Man Lu led him into the Paramount, and found a seat to sit down.The strong perfume filled the tip of her nose, and various teasing voices sounded in her ears from time to time, making Zhang Yujin frowned.

Man Lu casually pointed to a courtesan with stage makeup, and asked, "If I am like that now, do you think we can start over?" Zhang Yujin looked over, the woman's face was colorful, with two bright red patches The cheeks, the dark eye circles, and the blue ointment are still smeared, making them look extremely hideous.She seemed to be quite old, and her sharp voice carried an old feeling.

However, she is not yet 25 years old.

Zhang Yujin said: "Man Lu, how did you become like that? You..."

Man Lu suddenly laughed, and laughed for a long time.

"If you like me now, then you also like me after I was saved by sister Xia's love." Man Lu looked at him and said every word.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Xia, who came to the United States, soon got on the right track with her study and life. As time went by, she gradually forgot the hysteria when she broke up with Man Lu, and began to recall the sweet things when they were together.However, at that time, communication conditions were backward, and there were no mobile phones, so Li Xia naturally had no way of knowing Manlu's situation in China.

In the past four years, Sun Chenxian has never given up pursuing her, and she has also tried to associate with her.However, she didn't know why, but she couldn't let Man Lu go, and she couldn't accept Sun Chenxian.Thinking of the jade pendant left by her mother, Li Xia felt the pain at first, but now it is not so uncomfortable.Of course, that's not to say she's completely free of grievances.

However, these grievances will not affect her yearning for Manlu.

Walking on campus, looking at couples of lovers, Li Xia felt a little melancholy and a little lonely.

"Sister Xia!"

The voice from behind made Li Xia stop.After a while, she smiled in her heart, did she have auditory hallucinations thinking about Man Lu?Looks like I'm going to seek counseling.

However, the next moment, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind and hugged her tightly.

"Sister Xia." Man Lu buried her head on Li Xia's neck and shouted affectionately, "I finally found you."

"You..." Li Xia looked at the other party in disbelief, "Why did you come back here?"

"I'm here to study abroad." Man Lu said, "I have already paid off my debts to my family, and there is nothing to stop me."

Li Xia held Man Lu's face and remained silent for a long time.After a while, she said one word: "Go."

"Yes." Manlu replied firmly.

Clothes were scattered from the living room to the bedroom, Li Xia hugged Man Lu and kissed her forehead lightly, using her body to tell her how much she missed.

Man Lu suddenly thought of something, and stretched out her finger: "Sister Xia, please bring my bag here."

"This one?" Li Xia took Man Lu's bag.

Man Lu opened the bag and took out a jade pendant.It only took Li Xia three seconds to recognize her.

"This is..." she exclaimed.

"The little sister was playing with the jade pendant back then, and it fell into the crack of the bed and got stuck, and she forgot about it. Later, when the maid was cleaning the room, she accidentally found it." Man Lu said, "I finally returned to Zhao today, I hope Don't hate me any more." What Man Lu didn't say was that her mother and grandma found out that this jade pendant was actually a valuable antique, and proposed to sell it several times, but Man Lu naturally refused. It was very unpleasant with the family.Later they proposed to let Manlu move in with them, rent out or sell the house left by Li Xia, so that they could send their elder brother Qiangmin to study abroad, but Manlu also refused.After coming and going, Man Lu almost cut off contact with her family.

Li Xia held the lost and recovered jade pendant, and pressed it tightly to her chest.Mom, dad, sister...

"Sister Xia..." Man Lu said.

Li Xia hugged Man Lu into her arms: "Thank you, Man Lu, I have no more regrets."

Since then, there will be no knots in their hearts, and their lives will definitely be sweeter than honey in the future.
