no ambiguity

The background of the photo is the Yale University library. It is about autumn, and the leaves of the trees behind have fallen bare, leaving only yellow-brown shriveled branches.The four people in the photo looked like they were only in their teens and 20s. They were just young, and they were very different from the present. They were completely opposite.

Wen Ning used to be not as indifferent as she is now. Her eyes were gentle and deep, her hair reached her shoulders, she was wearing a long black windbreaker, a scarf, and pointed boots that are currently in fashion. She had a cool and cool demeanor. hypothermia.

The strange girl held her arm, turned her head slightly, and looked at the camera with a smile, her eyes seemed to be shining.This girl was very good-looking, with long curly hair, almond eyes, and a delicate face, without makeup, clean.

Wen Ning is tall, Qi Rui'an and Lian He Min are also tall, only girls are shorter, about 1.6 meters.Due to a certain height difference, the girl involuntarily turned her body sideways when taking pictures, almost leaning on Wen Ning's shoulder, her posture was quite intimate.

No need to guess, the relationship between the two of them must be very good, far better than Qi Rui'an and Lian Hemin.

Qinghe picked up the photo frame and looked at it carefully for a while.

In fact, she never knew Wen Ning, she didn't know about this person's past, let alone what was hidden in the other's heart, what kind of person Wen Ning was, and what things he had experienced, she didn't know at all.She only knew that Wen Ning was rich, had a good temper, could bear herself, and was barely a qualified wife. The two of them had very little communication in private, and they would never ask each other about each other's personal life, let alone those who had something to do with her. everything in the past.

The two of them have the deepest communication on the bed, and everything else is too shallow, unimportant, and not worth mentioning.

Scratching the edge of the photo frame twice with her fingertips, after a while, Qinghe still put the things back in place.

This photo is an old photo, and the corners are still yellow with age. It must have been there for many years. It is probably preserved by Wen Ning, or it has been kept somewhere, in an album, in the pages of a book... and then Someone in the family found out, so he kindly framed the photo and put it away.

Anyway, it wouldn't be Wen Ning himself. This person was on a business trip in France before, so he didn't have free time to make a special trip here.

Thinking of this, Qing He hesitated for a while, but finally did not stay in the room, and only stood there for two or three minutes, then went out as if he had never entered before, closed the door, and found a place where no one was there to stay alone with.

The rest of the Wen family were busy downstairs, chatting, and doing homework, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Wen Encheng's tea could not be delivered to the study on the second floor, the child had no guts, and the tears were spent for a long time, nothing to do, only dared to sit quietly on the sofa and wait.He was always worshiped by the stars, no matter at school or at home, but every time Wen Ning got angry when he came home, he couldn't please the old man, as if everything he did was wrong.

The child is very jealous, he can't think about things, and he doesn't understand some truths. The more he thinks about it, the more he gets into the horns. From the bottom of his heart, he feels that Wen Ning robbed his father and took away the love that should belong to him. .He was in a lot of pain, but he couldn't cry, so he held back his tears in a useless manner, as if he was low-key and didn't fight or grab.

Shi Nianying felt sorry for her son, and was furious, but it was inconvenient to explode in front of relatives, so she forced a smile on her face, greeted everyone gracefully, and then called Wen Encheng, asking the child to go over and pour tea for the elders .

Wen Encheng listened to his mother very much, and did what he was told.

It is very pleasing for a ten-year-old child to be able to do this. The act of pouring tea won the praise of everyone, and everyone liked him very much.

Qinghe happened to bump into this scene when she was going downstairs, and she immediately felt clear about it.

Even though he only met Shi Nianying once and was not familiar with him at all, Qing He had figured out Shi Nianying's nature the first time he came here and knew who he was.

Shi Nianying's native family is still good, not considered rich, but not to the extent of lack of money, she graduated from Nancheng University, majored in medicine, met the old man in the city hospital, and married into the Wen family less than half a year later. family, and then became a rich wife.

It may be that the sudden change in the living environment brought many discomforts, and the sudden increase in the quality of life blinded her eyes. Shi Nianying gradually became hostile to Wen Ning, for fear of being robbed of everything she has now.

Some things are not easy to say on the bright side, but everyone knows that the old man is 56 this year, and he will be 14 in [-] years. At that time, he will no longer be able to manage a huge family business, and he still has to pass it on to his children, but at that time There must be another difficult choice.

To daughter or to son?

More than ten years later, Wen Ning is bound to be even more powerful than now, and his methods will naturally be tougher. How can Wen Encheng, who is in his twenties by then, be able to compare?What can a fledgling kid do against it?

Not to mention that time, if you compare the siblings at the same age, Wen Ning stopped crying when he was ten years old. Once, he went to play the violin in a large-scale performance abroad.On the other hand, Wen Encheng, the child's grades are mediocre, he can't do anything except be obedient, he has no talent, and he is deformed and guided by such a bad mother. It is not certain what he will grow up in the future.

So Shi Nianying is not unreasonable to guard against Wen Ning. After all, according to her educational philosophy, if she instills some hostile thoughts that shouldn't be in her children all day long, I am afraid that two more children will still be far behind.

Qinghe has seen too many people like this, and she knew Shi Nianying's mother and son thoroughly the first time she entered the door.When she entered the living room, she didn't talk to Shi Nianying, nor did she chat with other relatives. She just sat in the corner of the sofa and worked hard, killing every minute and every second.

Wen Ning and the old man came down after a short time, and the father and daughter talked about it, and it was rare for them to be amicable.

Eating for a family is not as troublesome as the dinner party outside. The banquet can be held when all the people arrive. The food is home-cooked food, and the big round table is full of relatives, so the atmosphere is still relatively relaxed.

Qing He sat on Wen Ning's left, only one seat away from the old man.She didn't join the family's chatting camp very much, she was eating all the time, and she would only answer a few questions when someone asked her a question.There are not many words, just deal with it briefly.

Wen Ning added a chopstick dish to her, which was to defend her in public.

She picked up the bowl silently and took it, but she didn't eat a bite, but buried the chopstick dish under the rice bowl without any trace, leaving it to the end.

You can't leave after dinner, you have to stay here in the afternoon, drinking tea and playing chess with the elders.Besides, Qing He and Wen Ning are fine at night, so they have to have a meal here.

Qinghe doesn't know how to play chess, and doesn't like to drink tea. She just watches when everyone gathers and chats, just to join in the fun.She didn't have anything to do in this family, and the others didn't know how to talk to her, let alone bring the topic up to her, until Shi Nianying suddenly asked, "It's been a while since I saw her, what is Xiaohe doing recently?"

The rest of the people were suddenly quiet and looked over one after another.

Qing He was startled, she was distracted, she didn't recover for a moment, she didn't notice what Shi Nianying was asking at all.

Shi Nianying was considerate, smiled slightly, and asked again: "Are you still helping Aning's company?"

Qing He regained consciousness, and said slowly: "Yes, I will be a secretary and do some chores."

Shi Nianying nodded, "That's pretty good, as a good housemate for Aning, I can work together and see you often, so it won't delay the relationship between you two."

These words are impeccable, but they are not very pleasing to the ear, especially the words virtuous and internal help, as if there is something in the words.

Cannibalism is short-mouthed, soft-handed, Qinghe doesn't argue, even though she is a little uncomfortable, she still endures it for the time being, doesn't care too much, and hums like a formality, which is all in response.

Shi Nianying smiled, and asked some other questions. There were a lot of things about life and work. He also asked about Wen Ning's last business trip to France. I don't know if he didn't think carefully or asked the question intentionally. Shi Nianying was puzzled by Qinghe. As a secretary, why don't you follow me? Are you busy with other things?

People around were listening, but Qinghe remained silent.

Patience has a limit, crossing that line is deliberate offense, not speaking is already the biggest concession.

However, Shi Nianying didn't seem to know how to look at his face, he muttered to himself, but his expression was kind.

Wen Ning, who was sitting next to the old man, said at this moment: "She has her own job as a secretary. She just comes to help me when she is free."

Shi Nianying stopped talking instantly, because she didn't expect this person to interrupt, so she was startled.

With a calm voice, Wen Ning raised his eyes and said unhurriedly: "She is making music, it's not like she has nothing to do."

There are only two people in this living room who have nothing to do, one is Wen Encheng and the other is Shi Nianying. It is natural for children not to work, and it is only natural for adults not to work, and they only spend money to enjoy life.

Of course, to put it nicely, this is Mrs.

Some people just don't have self-knowledge, they don't know what kind of role they are, and they still have the nerve to judge others.

Shi Nianying's face turned blue and white, it was really embarrassing.

Qinghe lowered her eyes and stopped participating.

What were the people behind talking about, she didn't pay attention, thinking of other things in her mind.

Until he left Wen's house, went back to Jiangting by car, entered the room, and grabbed Wen Ning's shoulder again.

The lights in the room were turned off as usual, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Wen Ning pinched her chin, and her moist lips fell to the side of her face.

"I've been absent-minded all day, what's wrong?"

Qing He hid, "No..."

Wen Ning's hands slightly exerted force, stroking her back.

"do not lie."

Qinghe put her face against the man's neck, and answered in a muffled voice for a long time, then whispered, "Boss Wen, I have a performance next week, two competitions in July, and I have to prepare for the music festival in City G." , I may have to take a long vacation, and I won’t be back.”

Wen Ning paused, but said nothing.

Qing He raised her head slowly, and after a while, her lips were next to this person's, exuding their warmth and breath, reaching out to touch her earlobe, and said: "I want to take a bath..."

In the dead of night, the lights in the bathroom came on.

The breeze was blowing outside, and the branches of the treetops shook. After half an hour, everything returned to calm.
