The wealthy man who wears books

Yu Tinglan listened to the girl's embellished words, and her mood, which was gradually getting better in the past few days, unexpectedly became chaotic again.

The girl said that the Sixth Young Master probably died because he slept with someone else's wife. It was just a malicious guess, but Ting Lan heard the words, but it just hit the beat.

Ever since she gave birth to her child, she has been depressed and insane, but during this period she has suffered from Zhong Yi's indifference and torture, and the hatred for him in her heart is no longer as strong as usual.

Over the past few days, the main reason why she has recovered somewhat emotionally is that that day in Bochun Garden, she was still the sixth child, and when Zhong Yi wanted to do something to her, he held up the opponent's arm fist.

So in Ting Lan's somewhat half-crazed heart, Zhong Zhi at this moment is like her only hope subconsciously suffering in this Zhong family.And at this time, even this last bit of hope is gone.

And the person who cut off her hope, without thinking too much, was naturally Zhong Yi who hated Zhong Zhi for putting a cuckold on him, and who was vicious and wanted to seek revenge from him.

She was already insane at this time, since Zhong Yi was used as the murderer who secretly framed Zhong Zhi, there was only one thought left in the madman's mind, which was to find him to avenge Zhong Zhi.

It was a rainy day, but she had already ignored it, carrying a pair of scissors in her pocket, and went into Zhong Yi's bedroom, only to see Zhong Yi sitting on the rattan chair in front of the table with his back to her, talking on the phone.

Yu Tinglan's body was soaked by the rain, but her eyes were full of anger ignited after many days of depression. At this time, she took out the scissors from her arms, clenched her teeth, and walked towards Zhong Yi step by step.After walking behind him, I vaguely heard Zhong Xiu's sweet smile coming from the receiver. This laughter seemed to add fuel to the fire, causing Yu Tinglan, who was covered in fire, to instantly raise the scissors and slammed at Zhong Xiu. After righteousness, my heart is pierced.

Zhong Yi was talking softly with Zhong Xiu on the phone. I don't know what Zhong Xiu said with a smile.

Just as he was turning sideways, Yu Tinglan's scissors just stabbed over, deviated from his back, and only stabbed at his weak side.

Zhong Yi suffered from pain, subconsciously yelled, and lost the microphone in his hand. Zhong Xiu, who was on the other side of the microphone, called him anxiously on the phone because of his sudden yell.

At this time, Zhong Yi reluctantly rolled away from the rattan chair, avoiding Yu Tinglan's second attack.While yelling at her to stop, he circled the table to dodge the maddening opponent.

Yu Tinglan couldn't stop at this moment, she only cursed Zhong Yi that she was worse than a beast, and even wanted to harm her own brother, so she waved the scissors in her hands and kept chasing after him.

It's just that Yu Tinglan is a woman after all, so she failed to catch up with Zhong Yi several times, and obviously lost her physical strength.Although Zhong Yi was stabbed and cut off by her, it was not at the vital point of his body. Seeing the right moment, he suddenly counterattacked, snatched the scissors away while tearing, and even grabbed Yu Tinglan's neck, using all his strength. , pinched her unconscious in a few strokes, and fell limply to the ground.

At this time, it was stormy outside, and it was late at night, so the two of them fought, but no one knew about it.

Zhong Yi stood there gasping for breath, looking at Yu Tinglan's unconscious face under his feet, feeling resentful in his heart, he couldn't help but kicked her twice, but unexpectedly pulled the wound on his ribs, and grinned in pain.

At this moment, there was a flash of a figure at the door, and it was Zhong Xiu, who was soaked through, hurried in.

It turned out that she heard Zhong Yi yelling through the microphone, followed by a burst of chaotic cursing, and she probably heard that it was the second sister-in-law Yu Tinglan who was fighting with Zhong Yi.She had a keen mind, and just from Zhong Yi's screams, she guessed that he must have been plotted against, so she rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing that Ting Lan was unconscious on the ground at this time, and her second brother's left side was still bleeding, she rushed up, found a medicine box in the bedroom, and started to stop Zhong Yi's bleeding.

Seeing that she was wet all over unseemly, Zhong Yi was trembling, but his heart ached, and he only told her to quickly find her own clothes to change, so as not to catch a cold.

Here, one of the siblings gave each other medicine to stop the bleeding, and the other cared about her younger sister regardless of her own pain. Unexpectedly, Yu Tinglan, who was on the ground, had unconsciously turned around and saw both of his words and deeds.

At this time, she gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, her hands and feet felt weak for a while, so she supported the table and said with a sharp sneer:

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful, really, this scene of brother and sister's love is so beautiful! Zhong Laoer, I have a solid proof today. I have been married to you for several years, and I am so tender and tender like this." It looks like you didn't even give it to me once, but you kept it for your own sister. Okay, very good, the Zhong family has you two low-spirited sons who don't want human relations, it is enough to honor the ancestors, and wait for you in the future If the two of you give birth to a few bastards without assholes, that will wake up your Zhong family ancestors from their ancestral graves!"

When Zhong Yi heard her suddenly swearing such vicious and dirty words, he couldn't help being furious, and wanted to get up and beat that bitch to death.Unexpectedly, his movement involved the wound that had just been bandaged, and immediately a gust of blood spurted out, piercing through the white gauze, and staining Zhong Xiu's hands with blood.

At this moment, Zhong Xiu's face was somber, a cold light of embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes, his chest heaved violently, obviously very angry at Yu Tinglan's words.At this moment, I suddenly saw streams of blood spurting out from my brother's body, splashing all over my tender hands.I don't know if she was stimulated by the blood in front of her eyes, she straightened up suddenly, rushed to Yu Tinglan in two steps, stretched out her blood-stained fingers, and immediately grabbed Yu Tinglan's neck.

Yu Tinglan had just woken up from a coma, she was already weak, she was leaning on the table and yelling at the pair of dog brothers and sisters, but unexpectedly, Zhong Xiu, who was always gentle and soft like water, came in like a sharp arrow, and she didn't respond at all Opportunity, those bloody hands had pinched her until she couldn't breathe. She was scratching wildly with both hands, but after a while, she rolled her eyes and stuck out half of her tongue.

Zhong Xiu's hands and face were scratched by Yu Tinglan's nails, but she still gritted her teeth and did not let go. Seeing that she was getting weaker and weaker in his hands, and she fell down like a puddle of mud, she slowly let go. He opened his hand and stretched out his hand under her nose to try it out. Fang straightened up, and after taking a long breath, he suddenly smiled and said faintly:

"Since you married the Zhong family, I thought you were so domineering, and I endured you for a while, but it seems that it is nothing more than that. Now that I have endured enough, you should... go on the road."

Zhong Yi at the side saw this thunderous change with his own heart, and when he saw Yu Tinglan's two eyeballs protruding slowly under Zhong Xiu's hands, he couldn't help closing his eyes slightly.

At this moment, while covering his wound, he looked at Yu Tinglan who should have died on the ground, and said softly to Zhong Xiu:

"How should we deal with her?"

Zhong Xiu looked at the pouring rain outside the window, and said softly:

"I've heard that my sister-in-law's postpartum depression is unstoppable. She's half-mad and half-crazy. I'm afraid she's suffering from hysteria, and the hysteria is most likely to become more serious when it suddenly changes to cloudy and rainy days. She looks for death and life, and throws herself into a river or well. some."

Hearing her words, Zhong Yi understood what she said, and only nodded slightly.

"After you and I put on raincoats and cover up a little, I'll carry her out."

Zhong Xiu nodded, walked up to Zhong Yi, and patted him on the shoulder lightly. The two didn't say a word, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding, which was evident in their eyes.

At this scene, Yu Tinglan on the ground still had a dead expression on her face, her eyes were half-opened, and her neck was covered in blood, it was really horrifying.

The strong wind blew the curtains in the room through the window lattice, and floated over her body. Indistinctly, the left toe that had lost the flower shoe seemed to move slightly.

In the back garden under the wind and rain, except for the trembling flowers and plants in the storm, there is no one figure.

In front of the deep ancient well, Zhong Yi and Zhong Xiu joined forces and threw Ting Lan into the cold well water. Zhong Yi's complexion was ashen, and he didn't dare to look into the mouth of the well, so he turned and left.On the other hand, Zhong Xiu stretched out his head and took a last look inside, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, the dark night engulfed the figures of the two of them going away, and there seemed to be a rush of running in the woods by the well.

***********************************

In this stormy night, Qin Huai only felt that he had a dream.

In the dream, he seemed to see Zhong Xin go out in the rain, and after a long time, he went back to the room dripping wet.

But when I woke up from the dream, I saw him lying quietly on the other side of me, and it didn't look like he had gone out.

Thinking about it, I was overly excited because of the unexpected glory of "Four Seasons Brocade", so I kept dreaming.

To be honest, if Bren hadn't called suddenly that day, saying that he wanted to visit the house for the second time, he really felt that the results he had gained that day would be just a dream of his own.After all, this kind of surprise of becoming famous all over the world can only be seen in novels or TV dramas in many cases.

But Qin Huai felt relieved after thinking about it.

Since I can transmigrate into such a wonderful book full of blood and blood, and fight with so many people every day, I can be safe, so I can use my knowledge of chemical engineering in reality to get along with the Zhong family's incomparably rich family. Why not develop a perfume that transcends the times based on the background of spices.

When Zhong Xin heard that Bu Lun was going to visit Zhong's house again, Qin Huai clearly saw his dissatisfaction.

It's strange to say that I didn't know this man for a while. It can be said that after so many bloody things, big and small, I really rarely see any clear emotions on him.

Most of the time, this man always bowed slightly, hiding himself in an unnoticed corner.On his face, there are seldom too obvious expressions.His emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy seemed to have been frozen in his heart with strict control, and he would never reveal them easily.

But just when facing this handsome and romantic Frenchman Bren, Qin Huai found that Zhong Xin could not always control his emotions.

At least, he could clearly feel that when he heard the name of that foreign devil, he would frown.Occasionally he was mentioned when talking about perfume, and he seemed to bypass him inadvertently and change to other topics.But now that he heard that he was going to visit again, Zhong Xin directly lowered his face and said in a deep voice:

"Our competition is already over, and he has nothing to do with him. The reason why this foreign devil wants to come is probably because he wants to recruit talents and invite you to his group office."

At this time, Qin Huai was looking at the newspaper in his hand.It was a tabloid that had just been delivered that day, and there was a column on it that published a manuscript for a perfume contest, and the photo attached was actually a photo of himself and Zhong Xin.It's just that the photo was snapped by a reporter privately, and neither he nor Lao Qi was aware of the photo.

Qin Huai stared at the photo for a long while, and now he heard Zhong Xin guessing the purpose of Brun's visit, suddenly he was a little lost in his thoughts and didn't know what to say.

Because in that slightly blurred black-and-white photo, the one who occupies most of the frame is himself listening to Bren's speech and concentrating on it, but what makes his heart move suddenly is Zhong Xin, who only shows half of his face next to him .

On that seemingly expressionless face, Qin Huai saw Lao Qi's eyes that were completely focused on him, captured by the reporter.

Qin Huai shivered involuntarily.

Because in his intuition, it was a look of a wild beast guarding its prey and absolutely not allowing outsiders to violate it.

And Qin Huai, who often watched the animal world when he was a child, knew that those ferocious beasts often have a seemingly beautiful hobby, which is to repeatedly play with the prey they get. At first glance, it seems like their favorite plaything. With the general.

But in the end, once the beasts encountered irresistible hunger, or were tired of playing with the prey, they would definitely swallow the prey in one gulp.

So in front of me, the uncle from back then, the husband in name now, will he just treat himself as a prey like those wild beasts?

For a moment, Qin Huai was in a daze.

While speaking, Bren had already arrived.

The blue-eyed Frenchman had suffered from Zhong Xin's blows about last time, but this time in front of Qin Huai, he didn't open his arms in disappointment, but shook hands with the two of them reluctantly.

"Qin, Zhong, it's really great to see you two again! By the way, Qin, please come closer to me and feel, is there any difference between me and before?"

Although Brun didn't dare to hug Qin Huai, he smiled and moved his body closer to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai dodged to the side very naturally without showing any signs, and said with a smile: "You don't need to get so close, I can already feel it. You are covered with the perfume of Four Seasons Brocade, right? Hey, it seems that it is not completely In this way, you seem to have other perfumes on you."

Bren nodded his head in surprise, and said with a thumbs up:

"As expected of the person who can invent this magical perfume, you are really amazing Qin, do you know that in addition to Sishijin, I also use some perfume produced by our family on my body, the purpose is to make things difficult for you A little bit, but it's not hard for you at all. Sigh, the more powerful you are, the more I feel that I really like you and need you so much!"

Zhong Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.

This foreign devil didn't know if he hadn't really learned Chinese well, and he would always use these offensive words in his speech.

Qin Huai asked Bu Lun to take a seat while smiling and asked Xiang Er to bring the tea.

"Mr. Brun, Mr. Zhong and I are very grateful for your appreciation of our craftsmanship. I also know that the need you said means that you want me to join your group. Am I right? It's not that you just came, I want to splash Your cold water, but I think I have made it very clear last time, we really will not go to France, because there are people from our big family here, and the career that my husband wants to complete. It's something we can't give up."

When Zhong Xin heard the last sentence, he seemed to turn his head slightly and glanced at Qin Huai, but the teacup in his hand remained motionless.

When Brun heard him talk about this straight to the point, he nodded excitedly and said:

"Qin, I really appreciate the way you speak. It's very direct and frank. It's not like too many oriental people who are always so reserved. There is only one sentence, and you have to go around to make it clear."

As he said this, he glanced at Zhong Xin, as if the person he was talking about was just like Zhong Xin.

"So I'm going to get straight to the point and talk about my thoughts. I know what you said just now, and I also understand the family concept of many Orientals. 'Parents are here, don't travel far' or something, am I right?"

Seeing that he dropped his schoolbag again, Qin Huai smiled and nodded.

Brun continued: "So this time I came here, not to invite you to France to join our group like last time, but to make both of us into a relationship of partners. To put it bluntly, The two of us jointly contribute capital and technology, and jointly acquire the eastern and western markets, forming a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. In this way, my family can open up the eastern market, and you can also take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the western market. Think about it , is this kind of cooperation the best of both worlds?"

After listening to Bu Lun's words, Qin Huai glanced at Zhong Xin who was beside him, and the latter's frown still did not open.

But in Qin Huai's heart, he was already moved by what Bu Lun said.

After all, from the point of view of a modern person, he knows that the proposals made by Brun are nothing more than the operations and alliances of the global layout that he has become accustomed to.And this kind of business method, as Brun said, can maximize the advantages of both partners, and achieve a good effect of one plus one greater than two.

For myself and Zhong Xin, although they have a very distinctive perfume in their hands and have a certain reputation, but relying on the second room of Zhong's family to control the current situation of the company, and the current position and status of the seventh child in the family, we must I am afraid it is still an extremely difficult process for this perfume to really enter the market and achieve the reputation of "Zhong Osmanthus".

However, if we break out of the pattern of the Zhong family and boldly combine "Four Seasons Brocade" with the French perfume family, the situation of "the good wind sends me to Qingyun by force" is completely possible.

So, since I had an idea in my heart to help him reach the summit, why didn't I accept Bren's idea, which was already very advanced at that time.

So Qin Huai secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Mr. Brun, I think your current proposal is very attractive to me, but you also know that I have to discuss this matter with Mr. Zhong before I can answer you, so you can go back now. Wait until tonight, and you will definitely get my reply on the phone."

Bren left with great anticipation.

In the room, there were only two people with their own concerns left.For a moment, no one spoke.

After a long time, the man who had been silent all this time spoke first:

"Seeing my sister-in-law like this, do you want to cooperate with that foreign devil and get closer?"

Zhong Xin raised the teacup in his hand, but found that there was no more tea.

With sharp eyes, Qin Huai lifted the teapot to refill him with some water, and said softly:

"There is an intention to cooperate, but it's just a word of intimacy, but how to talk about it, after all, in this house, there is no one who can make me closer than my uncle."

Qin Huai suddenly realized that he himself seemed to be a contradictory person.

Just now, he was still worried that he would be the prey in someone's eyes, but at this moment, unconsciously, he blurted out the word "get close to him".

Could it be that this night after night of not sharing the same bed has made me used to his existence?

Zhong Xin drank half a cup of the tea in one gulp, and vaguely sighed.

"My sister-in-law also said that even if you and I are close, we are only in this small world. If we cooperate with that foreigner, the world will be far and wide, Dongchuan and West Lake. My sister-in-law doesn't know how big the world will be. By then ..."

For some reason, at this point, Zhong Xin cut off the conversation, and continued to drink the remaining half cup of fragrant tea.

Although Qin Huai couldn't fully understand the slightly gloomy thoughts of the man in front of him, he also vaguely seemed to understand something.

He knew that it was time to tell him what he thought was beneficial to him.

When the fragrant tea in the pot was almost exhausted, Qin Huai felt that he finally saw the word "agree" in the eyes of the other party.

Fang wanted to let out a long sigh of relief, and when he finally let Zhong Xin understand his painstaking efforts to relax, the man across from him put down his teacup and opened his mouth quietly again.

"Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean just now, and I won't stop you from cooperating with that foreign devil. It's just that I have one more sentence, but you have to remember it. As you said, the world is so big that not only the Zhong family The sky above my head, one day, if my sister-in-law still doesn't dislike it, Lao Qi is willing to go with her to see the outside world. But before that, what Lao Qi wants to do is still the obsession in his heart No matter how big the sky of the Zhong family is, it's just that the person covering the sky with his hand must be changed!"

***************************

There are foreign guests visiting in Bochun Garden here, but there is a news that shocked the Zhong family in the Zhongxia Garden in the second room.

The second wife's grandmother, Yu Tinglan, has followed in the footsteps of the sixth young master Zhong Zhi and disappeared.

It was the girl who served her who was the first to learn of Second Mistress's disappearance.

These days, because the maids know that Yu Tinglan has no status in the second room, and even the second young master no longer has sex with her, so these servants with red tops and whites are naturally much more lazy.The girl who obviously usually got up early and went to serve in the room, but she didn't enter the room until the sun was high.

But who knew this scene, only to find that there was no one in the room, but there was an open copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" on the bedside of the second grandmother. Bullying, the child is miscarried again, so all thoughts are lost, the chapter of committing suicide by swallowing gold.

The girl first searched for her in the yard for a while, and then in the garden, but she was nowhere to be found. She inevitably became anxious, so she reported it to the second young master.

At this moment, Zhong Yi seemed to be afraid of the coolness of autumn. It was obviously not a very hot day, so he was wearing several layers of clothes.Hearing that Second Mistress had disappeared, she was not as indifferent as usual, so she hurriedly mobilized her servants to search around.According to him, after all, Second Grandma has a nervous breakdown and has hysteria again. Yesterday it was windy and rainy, and she is the most prone to seizures. Don't run out in the middle of the night. Get sick from the cold.

When everyone heard what he said, they all searched around the garden, and the second lady heard the news and sent someone to help, and reminded the maids and women that it was raining and windy last night, and the stream in the garden Be careful in river ditches and other places.

After everyone heard this, some people remembered that the step-son of the big house, Ju Sheng, fell into the well at night, and hurriedly assigned a few maids to check the wells in the garden one by one, to be careful that the second grandmother accidentally fell in the rain down the well.

But it was strange, not to mention that the wells were clean, even the whole garden was searched, not even a tree or flower was left, and there was no sign of Second Mistress everywhere.

All the maids and women were relieved, no matter what, it was the first-class happy event that no corpse was found in the garden.

After all, the Second Mistress is a woman, not like the Sixth Young Master, who is flirtatious and easy to make enemies. Although she can't see anyone, she will not be harmed by others. Maybe she just walked out of the corner door while no one was paying attention, it's unknown .

When Zhong Yi learned from his servants that the Second Mistress had not been found in the entire Zhong family, he was stunned for a while, and couldn't help asking whether he had searched in those wells and ditches.

The servants knew clearly that wherever there was water, they had looked carefully, especially those wells. of.

Zhong Yi's face seemed as gray as the color of the wall, and while dismissing the servants, he picked up the phone and pulled it out for Zhong Xiu, but the fingers trembled subconsciously.

"Xiu'er, it's a hell of a thing. I didn't find her body in that well..."
