Compared to the tenderness and affection of the Zhou family, the atmosphere in Chengli's family was as cold as freezing point.
Mother and daughter Cheng Ningning and Su Qing were sitting on the sofa in the living room, their faces gloomy.
"Okay Ning Ning, don't be angry. It's her thing. If someone wants to take it away, there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Su Qing comforted her daughter.
Cheng Ningning said sternly: "Why? I am also your and dad's biological daughter. Why should she, Cheng Xiang, live in fine clothing and food, and have whatever she wants? Why should I grow up in a pile of yellow mud? "
Su Qing quickly stopped her daughter: "Keep your voice down, little ancestor. If others hear us, we will be screwed."
"Why? Am I so shameless?" Cheng Ningning's tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
"Your dad said that now is not the time. When the time comes, he will definitely announce it to the public." Su Qing comforted her daughter.
Cheng Ningning sneered: "Him? Is he willing? Isn't he afraid of losing his future?"
When she first entered the city, the bustling city had less of an impact on her than the first time she saw Cheng Xiang. She was noble, dignified, and stunningly beautiful, making her look like a clown when she wore a floral skirt for the first time.
Growing up, she had whatever she wanted. As long as she acted coquettishly in front of her grandparents, she could get beautiful clothes and expensive jewelry at her fingertips.
There was also her uncle who loved her to the core and almost answered his every request.
Once, her uncle gave them each a box of chocolates. When Cheng Ningning took a small bite, the mellow and sweet taste was something she would never forget.
But Cheng Xiang just threw it aside and said with a pout, "I don't like this anymore, it's too sweet and greasy."
The uncle said dotingly: "Okay, if you don't like it, don't eat it. Think about what you want? Uncle will buy it for you, okay?"
Cheng Xiang hid in his uncle's arms and said coquettishly: "Uncle, my bed is too small and hard to be comfortable. I want a princess bed that is springy and soft. Can you buy me one?" As he spoke, he shook his uncle's arm.
The uncle looked at her dotingly and said, "Okay, of course the princess wants to sleep in a princess bed, and uncle will buy it for you."
Cheng Ningning had seen that bed in a store before. It cost 300 yuan. The mattress alone cost 200 yuan, which was equivalent to two months' salary of a state-owned enterprise employee. She didn't even dare to think about it.
In the building in the military compound, Cheng Xiang was the only one sleeping on the princess bed, while Cheng Ningning, separated by a wall, had been sleeping on a hard bed that was only 1 meter wide.
Growing up, Cheng Xiang would throw away clothes, school bags, or shoes if he didn't like them.
Cheng Wanshan always blamed: "How can she throw away such good clothes?"
But there was nothing she could do, so she had to give those clothes to Cheng Ningning, and Cheng Ningning always took them out to admire and try on them as if she had found a treasure.
She was born in the countryside, and her appearance is that of the best in the village. She has been followed by little boys since she was a child. Although she hates their filth and vulgarity, she knows how to use her own advantages to coax them with snacks and candies. , white mask.
One time, a boy stole two kilograms of white flour from home and gave it to her just to touch her hand. When she got married, her mother scolded her from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, calling her a bitch, a coquettish fox, and a playboy. Husband, I have used almost all the dirty words in the world.
She hid at home, huddled on the crib, listening to her mother scolding the woman outside, trembling all over, closing her eyes and letting tears fall. She swore in her heart that she must, must leave this place.
Maybe God heard her prayer, and one day her mother asked her if she wanted to go with her?
"Where to go?"
"Go to a big city and go to a place where you can eat steamed buns every day."
"Okay, I'll go"
When she was 11 years old, she left everything behind and followed her mother here. She left without any regrets. The big city, the bustling streets, the dazzling array of shops, the enviable military compound, no one knew their past. , everything is a new beginning.
But her excitement suddenly died down the moment she saw Cheng Xiang, and she was extremely depressed. Over the years, she followed Cheng Xiang everywhere, imitating her dressing, imitating her behavior, and even took advantage of her countless times when she was not at home. , secretly wear her clothes, sleep on her big bed, imagining that she is the princess.
But no matter how she learns, she will always live in Cheng Xiang's shadow. As long as she and Cheng Xiang appear at the same time, she will be reduced to a foil, as humble as grass, not even a green leaf.
Cheng Xiang has a cousin named Jiang Yi, who is 5 years older than Cheng Xiang. He is the most handsome boy he has ever seen. He is tall, clean and sunny. Although he comes from a high-ranking family, he is not aloof at all. Laughing and joking with them.
Every time Cheng Ningning saw her, her heart was in turmoil, and she carefully paid attention to her every move, for fear of showing her timidity in front of him.
At a family gathering, Cheng Xiang commanded Cheng Ningning to help her bring tea and water. Jiang Yi immediately severely criticized Cheng Xiang and told her that everyone is equal. Why should someone else have to drink water by themselves? fall.
Then, regardless of Cheng Xiang's crying, he came over to rub her head and gently said to her: "Ignore her and go play."
At that moment, Cheng Ningning felt that Jiang Yi was like a savior, nourishing her desert-like heart, and she loved him even more.
Later, she learned to show weakness in front of Jiang Yi in front of Cheng Xiang, and even deliberately caused trouble to make Cheng Xiang angry in front of Jiang Yi, while she behaved submissively, weakly and easily bullied. At this time, Jiang Yi will stand up to defend her.
She knew that Jiang Yi liked to read foreign classics, so she read them too, bracing herself to memorize the obscure names and trying to understand the abstract contents.
Then I found an opportunity to communicate with Jiang Yi. Every time Jiang Yi heard her point of view, he would smile slightly and say gently: "It's good to like reading. If you can't read, don't force it."
At this time, Cheng Xiang would pop up and say: "Do you know why you can't read it? Because your knowledge and experience are too superficial, you can't understand these contents. Do you know where Notre Dame de Paris is? Do you know the Essepbean Cathedral?" What is a tower?
You actually only understand that Anna Karenina is an elegant lady. I think this means you are taking the role of yourself, right? Hahaha"
At this time, Cheng Ningning wanted to strangle that little bitch Cheng Xiang to death.
Jiang Yi would scold Cheng and say, "It's better than you, a little girl who falls asleep whenever she reads a book."
"Ignore her." Jiang Yi did not forget to comfort Cheng Ningning. Cheng Ningning was full of love and gratitude to him.
When Cheng Ningning was 15 years old, Jiang Yi went abroad, and she secretly cried countless times.
She secretly hopes that one day she can be by his side. For that day, she has been studying hard. Now she has been admitted to university and majored in finance. However, Cheng Xiangxiang is devoted to Gu Minglang and does not want to go to domestic universities. , who only wanted to go abroad with Gu Minglang.
She once thought to herself, let her go far away, and no one would block her glory.
Unexpectedly, she ended up marrying in the countryside.
When she learned that she was going to marry in the countryside, she went to the temple and burned several sticks of incense to thank the Bodhisattva for showing up and helping her drive away the god of plague.
"Cheng wants to go to the countryside, a rural area with poor mountains and rivers and countless unruly people. The place she fled from is really a cycle of reincarnation, and evildoers will be punished by evildoers." She felt that her world had become clearer, the sun was beautiful, the air was sweet, and even the community The dogs here have become cute.
