Chapter 22 22
Mingjing is actually a lively person, and with Minglou's "survival after the catastrophe", she deliberately made this New Year's Eve more lively, as if they could forget how many people with malicious intentions outside the Ming mansion Eyes and how many open and dark arrows are facing them, and they can forget the so-called position, justice and all contradictions and doubts.
For this purpose, Der Spiegel asked Gu Qingming to invite Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun for a very simple reason, "These brothers and sisters are alone in Shanghai and have no relatives. , everyone can still be lively together. Besides, there are plenty of rooms at home anyway, so it’s convenient to go to bed when it’s late.”
In this way, although Mingtai was not very happy that someone would forcefully compete with him for Gu Qingming's attention, he still compromised under the threat of Gu Qingming's sharp eyes.
When seeing Yu Manli for the first time, although Ming Jing felt the girl's disgraceful past, as a mature enough older woman, she still smiled and took Yu Manli's hand to let her sit down instead of Showing any gesture of contempt—this is why Ming Lou always felt that his sister was not suitable for fighting against the enemy.She is always soft-hearted, and she can't help but think about other people's helplessness and difficulties.
For this, Yu Manli was very grateful.She knew very well that many seniors who had seen countless people would not be fooled by her, so she was really worried about Ding Jing's attitude towards her before she came.She smiled gratefully at Ming Jing, and exchanged a tacit message between the two, "Thank you for inviting me and my cousin over." She thanked softly, but it wasn't all about this matter.Ming Jing shook her hand, "It's better to come here more often in the future. I usually go out except for company business, and I'm basically at home the rest of the time. If you have nothing to do, just call and let's drink tea and chat together. "
Seeing that the two seemed to be having a good chat, Guo Qiyun became worried, and said to Gu Qingming in a low voice: "Young Master Gu, is this really okay? Chairman Ming is notoriously hard to fool, if something happens Let her see some flaws... Isn't that the end?"
Gu Qingming hummed softly, "It's okay. Don't you know yet? Manli is very smart, she knows what she can say and what she can't say."
While the two were talking here, the two ladies over there chatted freely.At the beginning, Ming Jing really cared a little bit about Man Li's temperament, but after chatting, he felt that this child might have gone astray because she had no choice but to sympathize, "Hey, when will you Come over if you have time, my name is Miss Cheng... Oh, that is Mingtai's friend. You are about the same age, so you might be able to chat."
Hearing Cheng Jinyun's question, Minglou, Mingtai and Gu Qingming all quietly changed their expressions, only Ah Cheng turned his head to the side and rolled his eyes nonchalantly, can we talk?It's probably considered friendly if you don't fight.Minglou kept paying attention to Ah Cheng's expression, and was relieved to see that he had no other reaction. He smiled and said to him, "I think Eldest Sister likes Man Li, which means that Qingming met her first. It's time to give it to Mingtai."
What grudge do I have against you?Mingtai roared at Minglou in his heart.He quickly turned his head to look at Gu Qingming, "Qingming..."
No, Mingtai pressed the pause button for himself, he should be angry with Gu Qingming at the moment.Why should he show his loyalty?He immediately stopped talking, pursed his lips and snorted, looked at Gu Qingming from the corner of his eye, and wanted to wait for Gu Qingming to bow his head.But Gu Qingming didn't know what he meant at all, he just took a sip from the teacup as he thought it was Young Master Ming going crazy again.
Minglou was no luckier than his younger brother. As if he didn't hear him at all, Ah Cheng turned to Gu Qingming and said, "Ceylon's black tea still tastes good, and you should drink some black tea in winter."
Minglou and Mingtai glared at each other, then parted ways to try to talk to Ah Cheng and Gu Qingming.
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Guo Qiyun felt that he was superfluous.
The illusion of peace will be shattered sooner or later—although Ah Cheng originally did not intend to contribute to the maintenance of this illusion.
And the reason why this illusion can be maintained is that Minglou decided to take poison on a temporary basis to achieve the purpose of adding drama to himself. A big deal.
So is Minglou.
So when it took Minglou an hour to let Ah Cheng look at him at the dinner table on New Year's Eve, he didn't realize why Ah Cheng's smile only lasted for a second.
"Huh?" Mingtai looked at the old woman who was dragging her luggage into the door, made a questioning exclamation, and looked at the embarrassing elder sister and elder brother suspiciously.Gu Qingming's family had a lot of contacts with the Ming family in the early years. He seemed to have a little impression of this old woman, but he didn't remember who she was. He just felt that she should not be a welcome guest of the Ming family, so he pulled He glanced at Mingtai and signaled him not to ask more questions.He shook his head slightly at Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli, implying that they just pretended not to see it.
Gu Qingming hasn't given Mingtai a good look for a while, but now that he is willing to take the initiative to touch him, he is naturally too happy, so how can he care about an old woman?He hastily stepped forward, grinning and fawning.Gu Qingming gave him a sharp look, telling him to pay attention to the occasion.Mingtai rubbed his nose, but didn't dare to speak any more, just looked at Minglou who looked embarrassed and Ah Cheng who didn't say a word.
Ah Cheng looked at Minglou with a cold face for a while, then put down his chopsticks with a snap and went upstairs.
Ming Jing agreed to let Aunt Gui come back because he felt that Minglou and Ah Cheng were not staying at home anyway, so it would be okay to keep her.Later Minglou had an accident, she was so focused on her younger brother that she had long forgotten about Aunt Gui's return, and never mentioned a word to Minglou or Ah Cheng.Ming Jing felt a little bit sorry for this matter, so he hurriedly pushed Minglou, "What are you doing in a daze? You go..." She paused, "Forget it, you are not flattering me, let Mingtai and Qingming take a look Right." She reminded, "This is Ah Cheng's adoptive mother."
Although Gu Qingming didn't know what Aunt Gui had done to Ah Cheng back then, he had indeed heard that she had done some intolerable things to Ah Cheng and was kicked out of the Ming family.He didn't understand why such a person asked her to come back, but he also knew that it was not easy to ask these questions at this time, so he nodded and dragged Mingtai to find Ah Cheng.
"Brother Ah Cheng." Knocking on the door, the first person to speak was Gu Qingming, who knew a little bit about the inside story, "You and Brother Ming had been living outside, and the eldest sister probably didn't expect so many things to happen later... That's why I let you She came in. Don't blame the elder sister."
Ah Cheng looked down at his trembling hands, but didn't speak.If he loses his temper, Gu Qingming may be able to persuade him, but he is silent like now, which only makes Gu Qingming unable to do anything.After a long time, Mingtai couldn't bear to keep silent and said: "Brother Ah Cheng, although I don't know what's going on, but if you don't like her, at worst, give her some money and let her go. .Does the eldest sister still make you unhappy because of her?"
Mingtai's logic is very simple. A former servant woman who has never appeared or been mentioned for so many years is obviously an unpopular character, and she may even be driven away.Since this is the case, it means that she must have some unforgivable stains on her elder brother and elder sister.If such a person is placed with Ah Cheng, who will the siblings of the Ming family turn towards?
Of course it was Ah Cheng.If Ming Jing didn't regard Ah Cheng as her own family, why would she let Mingtai and Gu Qingming come to have a look?
Gu Qingming gave Mingtai an appreciative look, thinking that what he said was good, Mingtai was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly moved closer.Gu Qingming didn't care about this, "Brother Ah Cheng, I just saw that the elder sister asked Ah Xiang to buy fireworks back, let's go and set off the flowers together." He felt that Ah Cheng didn't want to talk about this person, but he didn't know that There was nothing else to say, so I had no choice but to start a conversation.
Ah Cheng smiled, an ugly and forced smile.He said: "You guys go, I don't really want to go out." He didn't want to go out, and he could see Aunt Gui if he didn't want to go out.
Gu Qingming was not a person who was very good at words, so he didn't know how to communicate for a while, so he hurriedly looked at Mingtai, hoping that he would come to the rescue.Mingtai thought, I don't know what's going on, how can I save it?But since it was Gu Qingming's rare call for help, he was still willing to help, "That...Brother Ah Cheng..."
"You don't need to say anything, I know what you mean. I'm fine, I'm just a servant of the Ming family, and I don't dare to do anything." Ah Cheng seemed angry, but also seemed really sad.
And this sad feeling, the last time he experienced it seemed to be the first time he was whipped by his adoptive mother for no reason.
I don't know what I did wrong, and it seems that I didn't do anything wrong, but I was punished.The difference is that he was still a child that time, and he could cry and beg for mercy, but this time, he felt that he had no right to cry or beg for mercy.
He is just a servant of the Ming family, and he is only able to be what he is today because of their favor.
So, it's really strange that in the 'dream' he dared to throw face at the young master for such a small matter.How dare he?
