The Pretender--Liang Yan Dangshuanggui

Chief Ming is not happy recently.

Chief Ming has been very unhappy recently.

Liang Zhongchun and Liu Zheng who came to report on their work had a deep understanding.

"Director Liang, the small treasury has made a lot of money, have you put your mind on the right path? In the past month, the action team has taken action five times and arrested three people. One of them is a relative of Mr. Zhou. Mr.'s secretary personally called me, an important person, and asked me if his cousin was an anti-Japanese member. What do you want me to say, huh?" Minglou threw a report on the table.

"Director Liu, you've been injured again. You've been injured a lot in the short time since you took office, and you've been shot a lot. But can you explain to me why the intercepted telegram has not been cracked yet? Password book, Director Liu Long, can you get a code book!"

Another report fell on the table.

Minglou sat on a chair and took a sip of tea. "I was assassinated in Hong Kong, how did the investigation go?"

Liu Zheng took a step forward, "It was done by someone from the Hong Kong military command station. They are humble and incompetent."

Ming Lou waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm used to the life on the tip of the knife." He glanced at the two of them, "It's better for the two of you to have a clearer division of responsibilities in the future. Actions belong to actions, and intelligence belongs to intelligence. Make it a little more efficient."

Liang Zhongchun and Liu Zheng nodded yes.

"Go out."

As soon as Liang Zhongchun went out, he stopped Ah Cheng.

"Brother Ah Cheng, why is Chief Ming so unhappy?"

Ah Cheng glanced at the closed office door.

"The empress dowager at home is angry, and the empress dowager in the apartment is angry, so the husband can only vent his anger on work."

Liang Zhongchun's face turned bitter again in an instant.

Minglou and Wang Manchun had dinner outside at noon.

When the steak was served, Ming Lou specially cut up Wang Manchun's plate and handed it to her. This was their habit of dating a long time ago.At that time, Minglou was always pampering her.

Wang Manchun pursed his lips, feeling that he was a bit in the mood for food, but this was obviously one of his favorite restaurants.Some things cannot go back, they are all aware of this, but they are also working hard to avoid it.The quarrel in Hong Kong brought out the irreconcilability between them. She didn't like his acting, and he didn't like her calculations.

Wang Manchun was eating the steak, thinking about how much love he had for this person.

She couldn't figure it out.

She knew that what Minglou did was not wrong in terms of the righteousness of the family and the country. His fault was that he had lost responsibility for love as a man, and that he was taking advantage of the relationship between the two of them. emotion.As for myself, why didn't I take advantage of his feelings, take advantage of his guilt, and let myself shrink back into my shell to reject his kindness time and time again.

She secretly ridiculed the two people in their hearts for taking advantage of their emotional similarities, and at the same time sighed how all the good things would become like this.

"What are you thinking about?" Ming Lou who was sitting opposite put down his knife and fork.The things on Wang Manchun's plate didn't move much.

"No, I was just thinking. Actually, it's a pity that the wedding photos were not taken." She found an excuse and started eating.

"The wedding dress, I have someone bring it back from Hong Kong." Minglou took a sip of the red wine in his glass, "Let's find a place to take pictures in two days."

Wang Manchun gave him a surprised look, as if he didn't expect that Minglou would still take wedding photos.

"My eldest sister wants to set the wedding date on the tenth of next month, what do you think?"

"Isn't there still one month left? Is it too late?"

Minglou looked at her and smiled, "There's still time. We'll start preparing from today."

After a while, seeing that Wang Manchun put down the knife and fork and didn't want to eat any more, he brought her plate in front of him and ate the rest of the steak.

"Tonight, come home with me to meet Eldest Sister. She has always wanted to see you." Ming Lou said to Man Chun.

Wang Manchun froze for a moment after hearing this, "You won't tell her everything."

"Yes, I told her everything."

"Minglou, this is...then does she want to see Wang Manchun or Wang Zuiqiu?"

"She wants to meet the person who is going to be my wife. It's up to you to decide which name you use to face her." Ming Lou looked out the window and saw his own car coming, "Ah Cheng is here to pick us up, let's go."

Ah Cheng was well aware of the recent undercurrents between his elder brother and Wang Manchun, so he said that he was not a light bulb, and after a hasty lunch, he went to the customs to help Liang Zhongchun.At the same time, he wanted to slander Liang Zhongchun for falling into the money hole. In this situation, all he could think of was money, money, and an amnesty order.

When he drove back to the restaurant to pick up people, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Mingcheng?"

Then he was hugged by someone around the neck.

"Yuanyuan."

The girl opposite showed him a bright smile, "I really never thought I'd see you again." Yuan Yuan took Ah Cheng's hand, "It's been almost three years since we separated in Paris."

"Yes, almost."

"I'm currently translating and proofreading the French part of the declaration." She raised her hand and looked at the time. "I'm going to be late for work. Where are you working now? I'll find you another day, okay?"

"I……"

"Ah Cheng." Minglou and Wang Manchun came out of the restaurant.Wang Manchun's eyes stopped on Ah Cheng and Yuan Yuan's hands, and he smiled slightly, which meant a lot.

"Professor Ming."

"This is a student of mine in Paris, named Yuan Yuan." Minglou pointed to Yuan Yuan and introduced to Wang Manchun, "This is my fiancée." Then he introduced Manchun to Yuan Yuan.He whispered in her ear, "This little girl clings to Ah Cheng tightly in Paris." Wang Manchun laughed even deeper after hearing this.

Ah Cheng pulled out his hand, "Sir, we should go."

Wang Manchun walked up to Yuan Yuan, "Is Miss Yuan new to Shanghai?"

"Yes, my hometown is Hangzhou."

"Then Miss Yuan, if you have anything to do, you can come to Shanghai Daily to find me. My surname is Wang. Nice to meet you."

"Then thank you Miss Wang."

"That Yuan Yuan, what's wrong?" Minglou felt a little abnormal when Wang Manchun greeted Yuan Yuan, but when he came to the door of the newspaper office, Ah Cheng asked.

I saw Wang Manchun shaking his head, "No. I don't think all the accidents in this situation can be explained as coincidences. These so-called coincidences will often become fatal crises." Wang Manchun looked at Minglou, and Minglou was also thinking about why I will meet my students in Paris right now.

He said to Ah Cheng, "Go and investigate."

Ah Cheng nodded yes.

For seeing the mirror, Wang Manchun thinks he is not afraid.Although it is said that she once knelt at the gate of the Ming Mansion for a whole rainy night, although it is said that Jing broke up her and Minglou, although she once said that "there are unpredictable things", although she once said that she will be on the first day after Ming Jing's death. In two days...

Wang Manchun recalled his relationship with Ding Jing in the past many years, and he came to the conclusion that they were irreconcilable.

She admits that she has resentment towards Der Spiegel, even though she was acting in some places back then, but her resentment is not fake.In the ten years since Minglou left, she thought that if Mingjing hadn't obstructed her, she would not have fought alone on this isolated island in Shanghai. She would have fought with a like-minded husband, had lovely children, and had her own family. .

She even thought that if Ming Jing let go once during those long ten years, she and Minglou would not be in the present state, embarrassed and sorry for each other.

If she had no feelings for Minglou at all, she could take revenge on Mingjing for the dignity and love that was trampled on at the beginning.However, it was precisely because she loved Minglou that she couldn't hurt his only blood relative in the world at all.

It turned out that she still loves Minglou.

She couldn't figure out how to face the relationship between Minglou and herself, and she couldn't figure out how to face Minglou as Minglou's fiancée.

She felt that the conflict between her and Ding Jing was irreconcilable like the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that had lasted for thousands of years.

An afternoon really flies by.Wang Manchun never thought that he stepped into Ming's house again in this way.

To everyone's surprise, Ming Jing did not wait inside the house, but stood at the door of the house.

Mingjing watched as Minglou helped Wang Manchun out of the car. The woman who had been confronting her sarcastically for more than ten years now had lost her cold makeup and was wearing a pink and white cheongsam, which gave her a more gentle temperament.

"Miss Wang's first visit, but our Ming family has neglected us." Ming Jing stepped forward to take Wang Manchun's hand.

Wang Manchun glanced at Minglou in confusion, thinking that he planned to use Wang Zuiqiu's identity to act.After thinking about it, he quickly put on a charming look, "I have heard Ming Lou explain that the family is headed by Ming Jing, but now that I see her, Miss Ming really has the aura of a strong businessman. Zui Qiu admires it very much."

"Stop standing here, let's go in." Ming Jing said, pulling Wang Manchun through the door, "Ah Xiang, people are here, let's set the meal."

Ming Lou and Ah Cheng looked at each other in blank dismay at the door, and they didn't want to understand what kind of medicine their eldest sister was selling in the gourd.

A meal was a joy for the guests and the host. Ming Jing talked about many things about Minglou's childhood that Wang Manchun didn't know about. For example, when he was a child, Taipi was taught by his father. I am impatient when learning something.It all happened before Wang Manchun met Minglou.Wang Manchun lowered his head to eat to cover up his smile, explaining that Lou was not so perfect since he was a child.

After the meal, the group of people fell silent.

Ming Jing sighed and said, "Miss Wang, please come with me."

Wang Manchun glanced at Minglou, but Minglou nodded to her.

What I went to was a small ancestral hall.After the two sat down, Ah Cheng came in with two cups of tea, turned around and left.In that small house, only Wang Manchun and Ming Jing were left.

Wang Manchun looked around, it was dark and lifeless.The ranks are enshrined in the front direction, and Wang Manchun and Ming Jing are sitting on chairs facing each other below.

"This is the place where I severely injured Minglou more than ten years ago." Mingjing looked at the mat on the ground and said leisurely.

Wang Manchun's hands clenched into balls instantly.

"I still remember the way Minglou knelt here at that time, with a look of 'I will persevere to the end' all over his body. How much blood of the Ming family is stuck to this horsewhip, I am afraid that Minglou has the most He just knelt there, begging me to let me agree to your marriage, begging me to let me go, let him go to see you, begging me not to send him away from Shanghai..."

"Enough, you let me in because you want me to listen to these old things?"

Ming Jing looked up at her, ignored her, and said to herself: "Eldest sister is like a mother. Since the Ming family had an accident, it was the first time Ming Lou disobeyed me. It was because of you." She took a deep breath, " I hate Wang Fuqu. He taught at Minglou School and became Minglou's teacher. I can't help it. The Ming family was weak back then, and I couldn't beat the Wang family. I pass on the hatred for Wang Fuqu to you For an ignorant little girl, I admit that I am indeed sorry for you. I gave up my love and my ideals for the sake of the whole family, so I hope that my family can live in peace , live a normal life. Wang Fuqi leans towards politics, and you are the obstacle to my hope. So I can't let you be together..."

"Mingjing, you gave up your love and your ideals, so you are going to force your brother to give up his love and his ideals, in order to fulfill the stability you want, and fulfill your great dedication?" Wang Manchun heard this, and then I can't listen anymore, "Minglou asked me if I thought about his feelings when I designed myself to die. I would like to ask you, did you think about his feelings for your so-called dedication? Didn't you use him? Did the guilt for your devotion kidnap his love and his ideals?"

Ming Jing lowered his head, turned the bracelet on his hand for nearly 20 years, and ignored Wang Manchun's words, "Later, you entered No. 76, and all the places you had that made me look good back then are gone. I thought at the time that Minglou must not be allowed to marry a traitor and lackey."

"Later, you caught Mingtai and forced me to kneel in front of you. I hated you in my heart, but I began to know how much you hated me back then. You humiliated me because I was too mean to Mingtai. Take it seriously. And when I humiliated you, it was because I knew that you loved Minglou too much, so much that you would not hurt his relatives. I was wrong."

Wang Manchun felt like he had returned to that rainy night more than ten years ago. He was only 16 years old and kneeling in the rain. He loved Minglou and hated Mingjing. He couldn't do anything except kneel outside.Helpless, desperate, gradually becoming a ruthless self in the days that followed.

She is no longer the 16-year-old Wang Manchun, her hands are no longer clean, her mind is no longer pure, she lives wearing a mask, smiling on her face, but cursing in her heart, talking nonsense when seeing people, talking nonsense to the devil, in this world The treacherous Shanghai Bund can be mixed like a fish in water.

"If you want to hate," Ming Jing continued, "you can hate me. It was my persistence that delayed you for more than ten years, ruined your youth, and ruined Minglou's happiness." When she said this, she suddenly choked up. After a while, "Minglou, it's too hard. Fortunately, you are still alive."

Hearing this, Wang Manchun stood up, holding back the grief and indignation in his heart, "So you are here today to persuade me not to resent him."

"Mingjing, after all, you still don't think you are wrong. You are just trying to please me for Minglou. You will never understand how I feel about you. I hate you, but I can't touch you, and even To protect you. In your heart, I’m afraid you never wanted to agree with me. With you, hatred is such a thing, father dies, brother dies. You look down on me from the bottom of your heart. "

"I'm here today because I hope you don't resent him, understand him, marry him, and stay with him. You are his fellow traveler, and you will be the one who will accompany him for the rest of his life. Minglou, I suffered here a few days ago Three lashes, to accuse the ancestors, and want to marry you in."

"Ha, should I be grateful to Dade now?" Wang Manchun said mockingly, "Mingjing, I will marry Minglou and become his fellow traveler, because this is the need of the current situation in Shanghai, and Minglou needs an identity that is biased toward the Japanese." But our marriage is entirely for the sake of mission. I don't need such understanding and gift. I, Wang Manchun, don't need your charity and pity, nor your approval." After finishing speaking, he asked Go to the door.

"Do you blame him?"

Wang Manchun's hand rested on the doorknob.

"Yes, I blame him." She paused for a while. "I blame myself too. If I would tell him everything, I might not blame him as much as I do now."

He opened the door, only to see Ming Lou and Ah Cheng standing outside the door, not sure how much he had heard.

Ah Cheng walked past the relatively silent Minglou and Manchun, walked in the door, and helped the crumbling Mingjing.

After a long silence, Wang Manchun opened his mouth and said, "Let me go first."

Minglou grabbed Wang Manchun's hand, "I'll take you back."

The result was only sent downstairs.

"Just send it here, the apartment is not too far away."

"Manchun, it's still me..."

"Minglou, I don't know how much you've heard." She looked down at her toes, "We are no longer what we were more than ten years ago. We have grown up too much, changed too much, and thought too deeply." Too much, too much anxiety." She looked up into Minglou's eyes again, "When the things I wanted so much in the past were in front of me, I didn't desire so much anymore. I am no longer the Wang Manchun I used to be, and you are no longer It’s the former Minglou. We can’t go back.”

She spoke calmly, and he was afraid of her calmness and calmness.

In the end, Wang Manchun walked onto the cold street by herself, while Minglou watched her go away.

Standing in the wind until his hands were cold, Minglou remembered to turn around and go in.

Ming Jing and Ah Cheng stood there looking at him.He walked over, Ming Jing took his hand, and he patted the elder sister's hand lightly.

"It's okay, sister, go to bed early."

After that, he turned and went to his room.

Later, Wang Manchun returned to the apartment, exhausted physically and mentally.

She turned on the radio, and tonight was a fixed time to accept tasks. If there were no tasks, there would be a dance song at her time.She especially hopes to hear a dance song today, because she wants to leave the time tonight for herself to mourn in silence.

God does not fulfill one's wishes.

"Jianjia, Wintersweet arrived in Shanghai, I will take care of it for you, please contact me as soon as possible."
