Zhong Lingyu felt deeply aggrieved and powerless.
Mu Denglan was like this at the beginning. After her mother Yun Suqing and Zhong Yuming got married, she secretly seduced Zhong Yuming.
With her pregnant belly held out, she entered the Zhong family's house majestically.
Mu Denglan not only made the Zhong family uneasy, but also caused her mother to lose her foothold.
Although Zhong Lingyu is not like Mu Denglan, who deliberately destroys other people's feelings.
But now her shady relationship with Shen Huaizhou made her feel that she was no different from Mu Denglan.
She clearly despises the mistress the most, but now she is forced to become the person she despises the most.
This was more painful than stabbing her.
Therefore, the words "catch an adulterer in bed" are not only a deliberate attempt to spite Shen Huaizhou, but also a self-mockery by Zhong Lingyu.
She has no dignity.
Shen Huaizhou pulled her into his arms, put his chin between her eyebrows, and scolded her unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhong Lingyu was furious, "Even if you don't like Huo Fanshu, she is still your fiancée in name. She is the only one who is aboveboard. I am not talking nonsense."
"Are you concerned about your status?"
Shen Huaizhou's voice came from above.
Their conversations are like two parallel lines that never meet.
She just didn't want him to pester her anymore, but he threatened and refused, thinking that she only cared about her status.
Zhong Lingyu did not reply to him.
And her silence fell in Shen Huaizhou's eyes, like acquiescence.
A trace of unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting. "In this uneven world, status is just red tape. It has no use except adding shackles."
Lifting her chin, Shen Huaizhou lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, "Or do you want to be trapped in the deep house compound by me?"
"Can you give me a title? Madam? Or concubine?" Zhong Lingyu tugged at her lips and sneered.
Shen Huaizhou ignored this question, but he repeated the sentence, "His status is not important, Lingyu, it is enough that I like you!"
He buried his head in her hair and held her tightly.
Zhong Lingyu felt that he seemed to be shaking, but he didn't seem to be shaking.
She turned her head to look at him.
Before she could take a closer look, he kissed her on the lips.
He was hurried and restless.
Zhong Lingyu was in a daze. Would someone like Shen Huaizhou be uneasy?
Will not.
This must be her imagination.
He had nothing to be upset about.
Anyway, he only cares about whether he gets what he wants, and never considers others.
Zhong Lingyu didn't struggle and let him kiss her, feeling numb and powerless.
After a long time, Shen Huaizhou let her go. He carried her to the bed and lay quietly.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, Zhong Lingyu suddenly felt a chill coming from his neck.
She opened her eyes slightly, looked down, and saw a bead hanging on her collarbone.
The outer layer of the beads is made of silver, and the inner layer is made of thick glass. The glass is round and contains gray-white dust.
Zhong Lingyu touched it and said, "What is this?"
"I sealed some of your mother's ashes in the necklace, and you wear it to remember her. I specially asked a craftsman to make it. Do you like it?" Shen Huaizhou raised his body slightly and looked at her eyebrows.
Zhong Lingyu looked down at the necklace, her eyes gradually turned red and filled with mist.
The cold necklace seems to have warmth. When it falls on the neck and shoulders, it can warm the heart.
Such a gift that was given with care rather than money made her feel that Shen Huaizhou was abnormal.
But she still wanted to thank him, "Thank you."
"Are you moved by me?" Shen Huaizhou chuckled.
Zhong Lingyu was slightly moved, but more importantly, she missed her mother.
She slowly closed her eyes, held the bracelet in her hands, and gradually fell asleep amidst the sourness.
One hand patted her back.
Although that hand was not as soft as my mother's hand, it was very warm.
Patting it gently on the body brings peace of mind.
Her frown gradually relaxed.
Shen Huaizhou looked at her happily.
She is a ghostly little girl.
Sometimes he is bold and bold, sometimes he is as timid as a mouse, he can stretch and bend, and he has so many little tricks that he can't guess.
Only when he is asleep, he is well-behaved and quiet.
He hoped that she would stay with him peacefully like this.
Until the day he unfortunately died on the battlefield, she could escape unscathed.
Shen Huaizhou smelled the sweet fragrance on her body and slowly fell asleep.
Near noon, Zhong Lingyu woke up from his arms. She ate with him before being allowed to leave.
Zhong Lingyu returned to Zhong Mansion.
However, before entering the door, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Zhong Lingyu turned around and saw an unkempt girl holding on to her.
Judging by age, this girl is almost as old as her.
He looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were bright.
The clothes were stained with dust, but you could vaguely tell that they were from Yi'an Department Store.
Zhong Lingyu came to the conclusion in her heart: This girl's family was well-off and she might have run away from home.
She said kindly: "Miss, what do you want?"
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"I have it at home, you can come in with me to eat."
She must have been very hungry, because the girl followed her through the door without hesitation.
Zhong Mingyuan was in the living room. She said to Zhong Lingyu with a sinister look on her face: "You stayed out all night and brought back a beggar. Do you think Zhong's house is a shelter?"
Zhong Lingyu smiled calmly, "Third sister, are you still in the mood to talk to me about these things? The second aunt is still staying in the woodshed. She is so uncomfortable, why don't you go and take a look?"
"You..." Zhong Mingyuan was so angry that there was a sweet smell in his throat.
Zhong Lingyu ignored Zhong Mingyuan and pulled the girl upstairs.
There were a lot of snacks in the room, and soon the girl had eaten them all.
She was really hungry and devoured it.
Zhong Lingyu handed her a glass of water, "What do I call you?"
"Alan." Chen Tinglan raised his head and drank the water, then burped again.
Zhong Lingyu laughed, "My name is Zhong Lingyu, why are you... wandering outside?"
"I had a quarrel with my family and ran away." Chen Tinglan looked irritated.
She obviously didn't want to say any more, and Zhong Lingyu didn't force it.
At this time, the servant knocked on the door, "Miss, I want you to go down."
Zhong Lingyu asked Chen Tinglan to rest in her room while she went downstairs.
Zhong Yuming's face turned gloomy, and next to him was Zhong Mingyuan who looked gloating about his misfortune.
Zhong Lingyu shouted: "Father."
"What's the matter with you?" Zhong Yuming scolded him, "I went out yesterday and accidentally got into a fight. I stayed out all night and was admitted to the hospital. Don't you think it's unlucky? That's all. Today I brought back a beggar. , eating and drinking for free at home, do you think the Zhong family is engaged in charity? "
Zhong Mingyuan pouted at the side and instigated, "When my sister and my aunt lived outside, I guess they got used to being wild. Now, I have long forgotten the rules of the Zhong family and even brought strangers into the house at will."
Zhong Yuming's ears were weak, and he became even angrier when he heard it. He ordered Zhong Lingyu, "Go and think about it for an hour. The beggar must be driven out before the sun goes down."
How could a poor beggar deserve to step into the Zhong family's door? He would be unlucky for nothing, and it would also affect his fortune.
At this moment, Zhong Yuming was angry. Zhong Lingyu knew his nature, so he did not refute, but just stood silently in the corner.
Zhong Mingyuan's sarcasm came from the side, "You deserve it!"
She acted like a clown, and Zhong Lingyu didn't bother to pay attention to her.
An hour later, Zhong Lingyu went upstairs.
A-lan was lying on her bed, sleeping deeply.
Zhong Lingyu felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Alan was sick and his forehead was burning hot.
Thinking of the attitudes of Zhong Yuming and Zhong Mingyuan just now, Zhong Lingyu went to the vicinity of Zhong Mansion after settling Alan.
The two people sent by Shen Huaizhou to protect her were wandering around in casual clothes.
She found them, gave them some money, and asked them to do something for her.
