Back To The Age Of The '80s

Extra Story - Chapter by Zhao Qiuhua

"Come on, baby girl, take whatever you like, grandma will buy it for you!" Yang Wanru pointed to the rows of neatly arranged children's clothes in front of her, and said to the little girl in her arms.

The little girl looked about three or four years old, with big eyes, a small nose, and a delicate princess dress, which looked very cute.

"Mom, I have enough clothes for you. I came out today to buy clothes with you." Zhao Qiuhua walked up to the little girl and rubbed her hair. "Be good, tell grandma that you have enough clothes."

As Shen Hongji officially took over Shen's Media, Shen Hongji and Zhao Qiuhua also moved out of the Shen family's old house and moved to the center of Xiangjiang.

Because of the mistakes he made with his first two children, Zhao Qiuhua attached great importance to Shen Jiayin's education.For example, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Zhao Qiuhua's philosophy has always been advocating simplicity and avoiding extravagance, which is completely different from Yang Wanru's ideas.

"Enough? How can a girl's clothes be enough? Qiuhua, I have no objection if you want to be thrifty. This girl is the daughter of our Shen family, and she is born to enjoy it." She looked down on Zhao Qiuhua very much. Such a petty look.

I heard my granddaughter telling her in a waxy voice that my daughter has enough clothes and she doesn't need to buy any more.While Yang Wanru felt sorry for her sensible granddaughter, her dissatisfaction with Zhao Qiuhua also reached its peak.

She even had the idea of ​​taking her daughter into the old house and taking her with her. When Zhao Qiuhua took her down, she took away her daughter's demeanor as the eldest lady of the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Yang Wanru stood up, hugged Shen Jiayin and turned around in front of the children's clothes, then turned her head and said softly to the shopping guide: "Except for those few items that are too exaggerated, I will send the rest."

The joy on the face of the young shopping guide was almost overflowing, and she nodded hastily, "Okay, Mrs. Shen. Then, should this dress be sent to Mrs. Shen or to Mrs. Shen?"

Yang Wanru glanced at Zhao Qiuhua and snorted coldly, "Send it to me!"

A group of shopping guides bowed to send Yang Wanru and Zhao Qiuhua away. The grand scene of two rows of people bowing at the same time attracted many people's attention.

Among them is a cleaning lady in the mall.

"Who is that person? Such a grand style." Yang Zhaodi cautiously asked the colleague beside him.

Yang Zhaodi is from the inland. She ran to Xiangjiang with her husband two years ago. When she arrived in Xiangjiang, she realized that the legendary Xiangjiang was not as good as the people in the town said.

There are indeed big cars and big houses here, but these are not affordable by the people at the bottom of Xiangjiang. The shopping malls here cost hundreds of dollars a pair, and the houses here are even more expensive. The director of their logistics department usually Bullish, living in a small house of [-] square meters, which is far worse than their yard in the town.

Yang Zhaodi sometimes really regrets it, what's wrong with staying in her hometown, but she has to imitate people smuggling, it would be difficult to go back now.

"You mean them?" At the same time, he raised his head and took a look, "Does Hong Kong Daily know? They belong to the Shen family, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xiao Shen."

"Xiangjiang Daily? Is that the Xiangjiang Daily that is sold at the magazine stand? Isn't that the government's? Is it personal?" This simply overturned Yang Zhaodi's three views. Such an important newspaper, can it be private?

"Of course, Xiangjiang Daily is the Shen family's signature. In Xiangjiang, except for the media king Shao Qidong, no one can compare to the Shen family in the media field."

The Shen family, the Shen family.Yang Zhaodi murmured, staring at Zhao Qiuhua's back without blinking. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he looked.

"That, is Mrs. Xiao Shen?"

"That's right. Mrs. Rich. Look at our age. We are about the same age as Mrs. Shen. Different people have different fates." The colleague sighed and continued to wipe with a rag.

Yang Zhaodi frowned slightly, and dragged the floor absently, Shen family?Mrs. Xiao Shen?

After get off work, Yang Zhaodi got busy.

Xiangjiang is a place with a well-developed news industry, especially entertainment news.Xiangjiang paparazzi are famous all over the world.

The Xiangjiang giants have always been one of the key targets of the paparazzi.Because of Shen Hongji's outstanding appearance, coupled with the aura of being a top student since he was a student, he has been widely concerned by the Hong Kong media since he was a child, and his marriage partner is naturally also the focus of the media.

A student classmate, from the inland, his father is a high-ranking official in the inland.Yang Zhaodi watched all the way, and when she saw the Chinese name of Mrs. Shen Chris, Zhao Qiuhua, she jumped up suddenly.

is her!It's really her!

"Old Deng! Old Deng! We are rich!"

On the second day, Yang Zhaodi waited early at the gate of Xiangjiang Daily, stretching her neck to watch a car drive by.

This is not possible, it is impossible to tell whether the person in the car is Zhao Qiuhua.

Yang Zhaodi was anxious and took two steps into the building.

"Hey, who are you looking for?" The security guard dutifully stopped the sneaky woman.

He looked Yang Zhaodi up and down, "This is the office area of ​​Xiangjiang Daily, non-staff are not allowed to enter."

Yang Zhaodi was glanced at by the security guard's contemptuous eyes, and couldn't suppress her anger. She puffed up her chest, "I'm a friend of your little Mrs. Shen, and I'm here to find her!"

Mrs. Shen's friend?

The security guard looked at Yang Zhaodi again, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't connect the woman in front of him with Mrs. Xiao Shen.

"I've seen people like you a lot. Mrs. Shen is not something anyone can meet if they want to. Hurry up, get out, get out!" The security guard waved impatiently, trying to drive her out.At the same time, another security guard also came in this direction.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yang Zhaodi yelled, "Zhao Qiuhua, Zhao Qiuhua, I am the sister-in-law of the Deng family, come out quickly, come out quickly."

Yang Zhaodi was full of energy, the voice was so loud that it could be heard from the first floor.It's working time now, and many people looked over and made soft discussions.

Zhao Qiuhua has been in charge of the editorial department of Xiangjiang Daily for a while, so she naturally has her own confidants, and Yang Zhaodi's actions quickly reached her ears.

Zhao Qiuhua's heart skipped a beat at first, followed by not panic and fear, but a sense of trance that finally came.

"Bring her up." Zhao Qiuhua ordered softly.

"Okay, editor-in-chief." The secretary went out in response.

When Yang Zhaodi was brought to Zhao Qiuhua's office, she was almost overflowing with jealousy.

Why do you think this woman's life is so good? When he was in Qinghe Town, Qiangzi regarded her as his treasure in the palm of his hand. He didn't even go to the kitchen. This abandoned husband and son came to Xiangjiang and became a wealthy wife.

Rich wife, does that gentleman of hers know that his wife came to Xiangjiang after abandoning her husband and son?

"Oh, Qiuhua, it's really not easy to see you now." Yang Zhaodi didn't seem to be polite to Zhao Qiuhua, and sat down on the chair in front of her desk.

"It's leather, it's so comfortable to sit on!" She touched the armrest of the chair and let out a sigh of admiration.

After reading a press release, Zhao Qiuhua put aside the work at hand and poured a cup of tea for Yang Zhaodi, "Sister-in-law is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Yang Zhaodi took the cup and flicked it with her fingers, "Crystal, I work in a shopping mall, so I know what to buy!"

"Wealthy wives are different, they use good things." She said meaningfully.

Zhao Qiuhua didn't answer, she looked at Yang Zhaodi calmly, and she understood Yang Zhaodi's intentions in her heart.

A few years ago, when Zhou Sitian and Li Zheng reappeared in her life, she was delighted but also terrified.Fearing that the nightmare-like past would haunt her again, she was so frightened, day after day, and now she was already numb.

"If my sister-in-law is fine, now is my working time." Zhao Qiuhua has never been a person who is good at dealing with the world. This is true in Qinghe Town, and it is also true in Xiangjiang.

Seeing Zhao Qiuhua's "superior" appearance, Yang Zhaodi laughed angrily.

"Are you really showing me the profile of your wealthy wife? Zhao Qiuhua, don't you understand the situation? A college student studying in France, the daughter of a high-ranking official? I know very well about your messes. You are not afraid that I will tell you Shake it out?"

Since Zhao Qiuhua refused to do even a little superficial effort, Yang Zhaodi stopped being polite to her, and directly put the threat on the surface.

Zhao Qiuhua suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at her steadily, "I'm not lying, I am indeed a graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in France, and my father is indeed a public official in Huajing."

"What about your husband! What about Li Qiang! Your current husband knows that you have abandoned your husband and son and came to Xiangjiang, that you have had two children, and that you have been raped..." Yang Zhaodi's voice was so sharp that it seemed to be running at high speed. The saw makes people sick to their stomach.

"Shut up." Zhao Qiuhua looked at the woman in front of him coldly, as if a layer of ice had formed in her eyes. That incident had always been her backlash, and Yang Zhaodi had obviously stepped on Zhao Qiuhua's restricted area.

"Yang Zhaodi, how long have you been in Xiangjiang? Do you know what a wealthy family is? If you don't know, I suggest you go and find out how much effort it takes to clean up a person." Zhao Qiuhua put his hands on the desk and slowly approached Yang Zhaodi's face.

Yang Zhaodi felt a chill rise from her back, "You have something in my hand, you...you can't threaten me, if you dare...to attack me, I will tell the whole world about you."

When Yang Zhaodi spoke, her lips were trembling.The Zhao Qiuhua in front of her seems to be different from the noble female college student she met in Qinghe Town.

The mother and daughter Zhao Qiuhua and Zhou Sitian hate each other, but sometimes they have to admit that they are the most similar people in this world, and they both know clearly what they want.

Zhao Qiuhua sneered, "By the way, the entrance of this office is the editorial department of Xiangjiang Daily, the heartland of the largest paper media in Xiangjiang. If you have anything to disclose, please feel free."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the phone without even looking at Yang Zhaodi, "Linda, see off."

When Yang Zhaodi stood up from her seat, cold sweat had already soaked her back.

Dazed, she was supported by Linda to the elevator. The moment she stepped into the elevator, Yang Zhaodi's face flushed instantly, her eyes turned red, and she shouted loudly to everyone in the office: "That's a A bad woman who abandoned her husband and son, and her husband died of anger because of her smuggling!"

Yang Zhaodi was pushed into the elevator by Linda, and the elevator door closed, causing an uproar in the editorial department of Xiangjiang Daily.

Who is she in that woman's mouth?Reminiscing that the man had just come out of Mrs. Shen's office, everyone couldn't help but gasped. They seemed to have heard some terrible secret.

Zhao Qiuhua in the office naturally also heard Yang Zhaodi's shout. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she sat back in her seat and did her own thing.

"Divorce! Divorce is necessary, she is a liar! Where is Hongji! Tell him to come back immediately! And Mrs. Niu, go and pick up your daughter. This is a child of our Shen family, and you must not be brought to that woman!" Looking at her hands Yang Wanru was trembling with anger at the information sent by her servant not long ago.

When receiving the call from Shen Hongji, Zhao Qiuhua felt a sense of relief that finally came. She had lived for too long as Mrs. Shen, and she had even forgotten what Zhao Qiuhua looked like back then.

"Mom got it, Qiuhua, I'll pick you up later. When you get to the old house, you don't have to say anything. Let me tell you, okay?" His wife was married and had a son before. He knew it, and he was the one who advocated keeping this matter from the Shen family.

"Well, I got it." Zhao Qiuhua was silent for a long time, but finally agreed. She really liked Shen Hongji.

When Shen Hongji and Zhao Qiuhua walked into the old house, Yang Wanru had already asked Aunt Niu to pick up her daughter, who was very happy to see her parents, and climbed down from the sofa as if to run towards them.

Yang Wanru winked at Mrs. Niu, and Mrs. Niu quickly picked her up and hugged her, "Be good, Aunt Niu will take you to play in the yard."

Nannan was not happy, and stretched out her two little hands to "hug" Zhao Qiuhua.

Zhao Qiuhua took two steps forward.

"Qiuhua, let's talk about your business first, you don't want my daughter to listen." Yang Wanru said.

Shen Wannian also came back, sitting on the sofa with a dark complexion.

Zhao Qiuhua pursed her lips, stopped in her tracks, and watched her crying as she was carried out of the living room.

"Mom, I know about Qiuhua."

"Know? You know?!" Yang Wanru stood up abruptly, looked at her son, her eyes almost popped out, and he actually said that he knew, he knew that his wife had two children with other men, and was raped ...and got passed by that.

Yang Wanru seemed to know her son for the first time, "Hongji, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Mom, this is a matter between me and Qiuhua. I've sent someone to say hello to the media, and I'll suppress it in the next few days. You don't have to worry about the rest."

Zhao Qiuhua was married and had children, but he never told Shen Hongji about it.It's just that he never knew that Zhao Qiuhua's daughter came from this way.

Shen Hongji was very clear about how proud his lover was when he was a student. Before he knew it, she had encountered so many things.

"Don't worry about it?" Yang Wanru turned her head angrily, "Don't worry about it, how do you let your mother go out to meet people? Press down on the media, yes, our Shen family can talk about the media, but the magazines and tabloids that have already published it , can you take it back?"

"My Shen family's daughter-in-law is a woman who abandoned her husband and son. Where do you let our Shen family face, how do you let your mother and I face the friends in the wives, and your father, your father's old face is all there. Lost you."

"I've discussed it with your father. You don't need to say anything, get a divorce right away. Mrs. Shen must not be a woman who abandons her husband and son."

When Yang Wanru said this, she sneered, "Maybe the marriage relationship in the inland area has not yet been dissolved."

"Mom, this is my family matter. I brought Qiuhua here today just to tell you that I knew about this matter, and I voluntarily married Zhao Qiuhua as my legal wife to Shen Hongji. She is now She will also be the only Mrs. Shen in the future." Shen Hongji said word by word.

"I disagree!"

"Old Shen, you should say something!" Seeing that her son was as stubborn as a cow, Yang Wanru couldn't help looking at her husband for help.

Shen Wannian stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and raised his head.

"In the past two hours, my office has received no less than ten calls from your uncles and uncles. Hongji, you must know that this embarrassment is temporary, but you may be forever. Can you bear the humiliation of being laughed at behind your back?"

"I……"

"Don't answer in such a hurry, talk about it in two days. During these two days, I won't force you to divorce Qiuhua." Shen Wannian said slowly, and at the same time glared, blocking Yang Wanru's mouth.

"Nannan is staying in the old house these few days, go back and take care of it."

Seeing that his father did not force him to divorce, Shen Hongji heaved a sigh of relief. He thought it was over with his parents, so he patted Zhao Qiuhua's hand to comfort him. He smiled and said to the two elders: "Parents, since this is the case, we Go back first."

Shen Wannian didn't give Yang Wanru a chance to speak, and nodded, "Go back."

Seeing her son and that woman walking away together, Yang Wanru blushed to her husband for the first time, "Forget it, you really want to make me ashamed! I, Yang Wanru, can't afford this kind of daughter-in-law! "

Shen Wannian glanced at Yang Wanru, "You don't know the virtues of the son born to you? Zhao Qiuhua is proud, Hongji is not proud? Mr. Shen, who was raised as the pride of heaven since he was a child, has a smooth journey, Hongji He looks gentle and refined, but he is actually more proud than anyone else."

Yang Wanru was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

It is indeed Mr. Shen who has been in charge of the Shen family for many years. If they force their son to divorce Zhao Qiuhua today, it may be counterproductive, but if the son wants to divorce by himself, how about they give it another step?

Knowing a son is like a father, or in other words, a person with smooth sailing is far weaker than he imagined.

On the first day, Shen Hongji's complexion was dark, but he would forcefully smile when he saw Zhao Qiuhua.

The next day, Shen Hongji saw her eyes dodge a little.

On the third day and the fourth day, as each day passed, Zhao Qiuhua clearly felt that her husband was avoiding her.

The media has already suppressed it. Zhou Sitian, who has always been at odds with her, is the current Mrs. Shao. She unexpectedly personally came forward to shut up all Xiangjiang media. The Shao and Chen families are the only two in the Xiangjiang media industry. Dashan, the two families opened their mouths, and they stopped even if they were ignorant.

But Yang Wanru is right, they can't stop the mouths of the people of Xiangjiang by blocking the mouths of the media.Although most of the first batch of magazines were bought back by the Shen family at a high price, the upper echelons of Xiangjiang knew everything they should know.

Shen Hongji had a wide circle of friends. More than once, he heard someone discussing the color of his head behind his back. He even felt that his friends looked at him in a wrong way. This made the always proud Mr. Shen a little bit unbearable.

Shen Wannian knew Shen Hongji, and Zhao Qiuhua naturally knew it too.

If Jun has no intentions, I will quit. She can endure the cold words of the Shen family couple because of Shen Hongji's persistence, but if Shen Hongji is also shaken, then she has no reason to persevere, isn't it?

"Let's... let's get a divorce." When he said this, Zhao Qiuhua realized that making this decision was not as difficult as imagined.

"Qiuhua, you..." Shen Hongji looked at the wife in front of him in astonishment. Indeed, he was not used to it these few days, but he thought that these could be completely overcome, as long as he was given time...time.

Looking at his wife's calm gaze, he opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"This is my decision, just treat it as my complete." He signed the divorce agreement coolly, and went home as quickly as possible to organize his things and move out.

It is impossible for a family like the Shen family to let her daughter be with her, and she doesn't want to become the talk of Xiangjiang because of the custody lawsuit that is impossible to win.

So Zhao Qiuhua wisely agreed in the divorce agreement to visit time, two days a week.She was never a good mother, maybe this is her retribution, she didn't cherish when she had it, and now she doesn't even have the chance to be a good mother.

After leaving Xiangjiang Daily, Zhao Qiuhua joined Xinghua News Agency's Xiangjiang Office, became the head of Xinghua News Agency's Xiangjiang Office, and began to be active in Xiangjiang society as a reporter from Huaguo.

At this time, the Xiangjiang talent really saw clearly the woman who used to live under the halo of Mrs. Shen.

Later, the relationship between Zhou Sitian and Zhao Qiuhua was exposed, and everyone realized that the two sons and daughters of Mrs. Shen who were widely rumored at that time were actually biologists Li Zheng and Mrs. Shao Zhou Sitian, and the whole Xiangjiang River was boiling.

The Shen family, the Shao family, the Liang family and Li Zheng's special status, the two marriages actually involved the three big families in Xiangjiang.For a while, Zhao Qiuhua became synonymous with "legendary".

Of course, only she knows how much this "legend" has cost her.

"I'm sorry to come to see you now. Both Xiaozheng and Sitian are doing well, they're amazing. I'm doing well too. I owe you an apology, Li Qiang, if people really have a next life, don't like it For a woman like me."

Another year of Qingming, two bouquets of flowers were placed in front of Li Qiang's tomb, presumably Li Zheng and Zhou Sitian had already been there.

Zhao Qiuhua poured the wine in the glass in front of the tombstone, and quietly looked at the black and white photos on the tombstone for a long time.I am destined to be sorry to you in this life, but I have never regretted my decision.

People live a lifetime, and they can't just accept it.Many people clearly hold the steering wheel of fate all their lives, but never turn it hard, and just watch the car of fate go farther and farther under the randomly set track.

Zhao Qiuhua put the wine glass in his hand in front of the tombstone, then bowed deeply, turned and left.

On April 4, Xiangjiang Airport.

Zhao Qiuhua walked out of the airport pushing his luggage.

"Qiuhua."

She turned her head, it was Shen Hongji...
