Forced to focus on daily life [Comprehensive English and American]

Rosie stared at Bruce Wayne's face, and hesitantly put down her hand, but the other party smiled and nodded after seeing her put down her hand, as if quite satisfied, then turned her head and looked at the previous bidder. Thomas, Thomas raised his head slightly to look at the master of ceremonies, and did not raise his hand to bid again.

When the master of ceremonies took the auction hammer and announced that the diamond necklace belonged to Bruce Wayne, the chairman of the Wayne Group, Rosie still hadn't recovered. She frowned and watched Bruce take the auction item with a smile on his face. , Listening to the comments of the collectors nearby about Bruce, most of them said that he has a terrible vision, is so profligate, and that sooner or later he will ruin the Wayne Group's family fortune, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. These people think that the Wayne Family is just Ordinary people who are rich can be ruined so easily.

She withdrew her gaze and was about to check the time on her watch when she suddenly heard a middle-aged man whisper behind her: "What do you know, Bruce Wayne is so poor-sighted, he is going to get the time from Elliott." Let's grab something and give it to the little girl who bid before..."

Rosie: "..."

The others let out exclamations of sudden realization, and then lamented that Bruce Wayne is indeed a famous playboy in Gotham City, and the woman he can fall in love with must be a stunner, and he must see her after the auction is over. Allow.

Rosie: "..."

There was a small reception after the auction, but Mrs. Mathers declined Elliott's invitation on the grounds that she had to rush back to New York, and took Rosie away from the venue.Rosie held Mrs. Mathers' arm and lowered her head. She neither looked at nor talked to anyone along the way. When someone greeted Mrs. Mathers, she would ask what was wrong with her. Mrs. Mathers could only look at the other party, and said awkwardly: "Rosie...had a stiff neck last night."

other side:"……"

Rosie: "..."

With this excuse, she managed to offend several groups of people. Rosie was relieved when she got to the car outside the clubhouse. Just when she was about to get into the back seat of the car, a voice with a smile came from behind: "Miss Mathers."

When Rosie heard this voice, she felt a dull pain in the back of her head. Under the surprised eyes of Mrs. Mathers who had already sat in the car, she turned her head to look at Bruce standing behind her, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Wayne ,Hello."

Bruce put his left hand in his pocket, and his right hand was hanging by his side naturally and leisurely. He looked down at Rosie, his eyes looked very gentle against the soft light at the entrance of the clubhouse. He raised his right hand slightly, and only then did Rosie realize that He holds a very delicate wooden box in his right hand.

"You forgot that." He winked at Rosie.

Rosie looked at the wooden box in his hand, then at him, thought for a while, and asked, "Why is Mr. Wayne..."

"Why bid?" Bruce filled in the rest of the words for her, and before she nodded, he smiled and said, "I grew up with Elliott, and I know exactly what he is thinking, probably in Before the auction started, I saw me chatting with Miss Mathers, thinking that Miss Mathers was mine..." He dragged out his voice, and his eyes were a little more playful, "So I deliberately gave Miss Mathers what she wanted. Raise the price, wait for me to bid with him, as long as I don't bid, he can keep raising it with you."

Rosie's eyes widened when she heard this, and it took her a long time to say: "...Mr. Elliot really loves you."

Bruce was taken aback for a moment, then laughed a few times, shook his head, and said, "Well, it's a pity that I'm doomed to disappoint his love for me." He shook the wooden box in his hand, "I don't know what to give to Ma today." How much it would hurt him that Miss Thurse photographed this thing."

Rosie smiled, took the box he handed over, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Mr. Wayne today, and I will mail the check to your office another day."

Bruce froze for a moment, and said, "No need..."

And before he finished speaking, Rosie had already slipped into the rear seat, lowered the window, and made a goodbye gesture to him with a smile, but he didn't know that at the same time, Rosie's other hand The hand was signaling the driver to drive quickly, the driver got the instruction, let go of the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator in one go, so Mr. Bruce Wayne could only see a black Mercedes roaring away with a little blond girl, leaving him with a firm and unfeeling back.

Rosie only raised the car window when the car turned the corner, sat up straight, and leaned against the back seat of the car. She turned her head slightly to the side, and when she saw Mrs. With a flattering smile on his face, he took Mrs. Mathers's arm and said, "Mom, I really have nothing to do with Mr. Wayne. He just helped me. I will pay back the money tomorrow." To him, there will never be any economic entanglements!"

Mrs. Mathers snorted: "That's the best." She patted the back of Rosie's arm, and softened her voice, "My baby Rosie is so simple, please don't go to those old girls. It’s the same with men, including your boss.”

Rosie lit a wax in her heart for the "old man" Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, and then continued to smile at Mrs. Mathers: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely find a pure and unaffected honest boyfriend."

She raised her hands to promise that she would never have anything else to do with the playboy, and Mrs. Mathers' expression finally softened. She casually took the wooden box that Rosie brought from Bruce, opened the box, and said : "Rosie, you seldom have a fancy to things, why did you suddenly fall in love with this necklace?"

The moment Mrs. Mathers opened the box, Rosie's eyes were almost tied to the diamond necklace. Her eyes swept from the silver chain to the three connected ginkgo leaves, and only later did she know. Answering Mrs. Mathers' question consciously: "Probably... it was also a momentary eye contact."

After the alcoholic uncle knew that Natalia had exchanged his diamond necklace for Rosie's chance to study again, he beat her up violently.

Rosie was still in Spanish class at school that day. She listened carelessly and kept turning her head to look at the light rain outside the window. Helson painted decaying fences covered in illogical graffiti and nasty puddles of sewage beneath them.

After school, she held an umbrella and slowly moved back to Helson's house. Before she entered the house, she heard the scolding of the man and the crying of the woman inside. what happened.

The umbrella was thrown aside by her, and it fell lightly into the sewage beside the roadbed. She rushed into the house with her schoolbag in her hand. When she saw the stool held high in the hands of her uncle and Natalia who was in the corner of the wall covered with bruises, she felt angry. Spreading from her chest to the back of her head, she almost didn't think about it, so she picked up the vase with the blue hyacinth on the dining table and held it up high.

The hyacinth, together with the water in the vase, fell from the mouth of the vase and hit her feet. The coquettish blue-purple petals were thrown into a mess and slumped, like a helpless corpse lying on the ground.

For so many years, everyone in Herson knew that Rosie was desperate in fights. The alcoholic uncle put down the stool in his hand cursing, looked at Natalia who was huddled in the corner, and threatened: "Let me know next time." If you sell something secretly, just wait for your death."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Rosie, spat, and strode out of the room.

After he left, Rosie came back to her senses and put the vase back on the dining table. After thinking about it, she bent down and picked up the hyacinth that was no longer beautiful.

"Rosie, stop using violence to solve all problems. You know what will happen if you drop that vase." Natalia said in an extremely soft voice behind her.

Rosie didn't look back, she put the hyacinth back into the vase, listened silently to the drizzle outside the window, and said, "Where did you sell that necklace?"

Natalia froze for a moment, but didn't reply.

She turned, looked at Natalia, and said, "I'll put it back around your neck later."

Natalia smiled and nodded.

Rosie, dressed as a night witch, lay on the heaven in the room opposite Brooklyn's largest nightclub "Hudson River", holding the ginkgo leaf diamond necklace between her fingers. The low-quality diamonds are indeed not very crystal clear, but she has no reason thought of Natalia.

To this day, Rosie still remembers how beautiful the moment Natalia's wounded mouth was raised. Even without the diamond necklace, she is still the most beautiful woman in Helson in her heart.She herself became a desperate lunatic in the slums, and Natalia was still the gentle, kind and smiling woman for decades, and she never complained until she died of an accident.

When Rosie played the gentle and shy Rosie Mathers in the daytime, she subconsciously imitated Natalia's smile, but her hostility has been around for a long time. Every time she sees herself smiling in the mirror, They all feel unusually inconsistent.

She put away the diamond necklace and bent the corners of her mouth in an arc like that, but before she was completely successful, she heard a slight sound of wind coming from her side, and then a clear boyish voice said: "Night Witch, are you going to Are you going to confess to Miss Mathers?"

Rosie froze suddenly, then quickly sat up, looked towards the edge of the roof, and saw Spider-Man sitting on the edge of the roof not far from her with his legs crossed, his chin resting on his hand, as if he was observing her.

Rosie's half-smile turned into a twitching movement: "Why are you here?"

"Prevent the Night Witch from doing bad things," Spider-Man said.

Rosie frowned: "If you don't keep an eye on so many criminals in New York, why do you want to keep an eye on me?"

Spider-Man scratched his head, then said, "Miss Mathers will be upset if you keep doing bad things."

Rosie: "..."
