Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Chapter 55 "Half Life"

That day Shen Shijun went to look for Shuhui after get off work, and it happened that Shuhui went to Mr. Ye's office, so Shijun waited.Unexpectedly, Shijun's gaze swept across a desk. The documents and things on the desk were the same as before. There was a young girl tidying up the desk. Seeing Shijun, she smiled politely.

Shen Shijun was suddenly disappointed.

This desk originally belonged to Gu Manzhen. Since Gu Manzhen resigned, the factory has recruited a new clerk. She is still a girl who has not graduated from college for a long time.Sometimes Shen Shijun would be in a trance, as if it was still Gu Manzhen sitting there, and the first meeting that he thought was insignificant, but in retrospect it was still vivid in his memory.He still remembers the day when they met in the restaurant outside. She was wearing a light gray sheepskin coat and holding a pair of red wool gloves. She was sitting in the restaurant alone, touching the gloves, waiting for the meal bored.Later they went to take pictures, and she lost one of her gloves. For some reason, he always cared about it. Later, she found it quietly by herself. When she saw the lost red glove, her surprised expression was so It's contagious and makes him happy together.

"Shijun is here, let's go." Shuhui came back, looking unhappy.

It wasn't until he was in the small restaurant where he used to eat that Shen Shijun asked him: "What's wrong?"

Xu Shuhui sighed: "I'm planning to switch to another factory to do things. Mr. Ye is getting more and more excessive, and I can't do it any longer."

Mr. Ye is in charge of the general affairs of the factory, relying on his relationship with the factory manager, planting the party for personal gain, wantonly quarreling, anyone who doesn't deal with him will have a hard time.Shen Shijun and Xu Shuhui both studied engineering in university, but Shen Shijun is an intern engineer, working with workers all day long, and changing places when he is familiar with a department, while Xu Shuhui works upstairs and often deals with Mr. Ye, how can he not friction?Xu Shuhui had complained several times before, but this time he spoke out, obviously he has another plan.

Shen Shijun asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have a friend who works in the factory in Yangshupu. He has always wanted to introduce me. As soon as I quit my job, I will go there. It's just that it is inconvenient to go back there. I have to live in a dormitory, and I go back once a week."

Shen Shijun knew that he had considered it carefully, so he didn't persuade him, but felt empty, and he was left alone in the future.

Xu Shuhui acted quickly, resigned the next day and went to Yangshupu.

Back home on Friday night, Shen Shijun asked about his new job.

But Xu Shuhui said: "Shijun, you definitely can't imagine who I met."

"Huh? Former classmate?"

"It's Gu Manzhen!" Xu Shuhui himself was also surprised: "She has been working as a clerk in that factory for more than three months, and it should have passed not long after she resigned from here. You said she Why did you resign in the first place?" Without waiting for an answer, Xu Shuhui said: "There is another strange thing, I think the current Gu Manzhen is just like the previous Gu Manzhen."

These words were hard to pronounce at first, but Shen Shijun understood, and his heart moved slightly.

Xu Shuhui just talked about it as news, then put it aside, and talked about the personnel working there.Shen Shijun was a little absent-minded, and wanted to ask more questions, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

Gu Manzhen was also very surprised to meet Xu Shuhui. It was supposed to be a happy event for the reunion of old friends, but because of the past, she felt guilty every time she faced Xu Shuhui, and they seemed more polite than enthusiastic.At this time, it is not so easy to find a good job, and the resignation was not all to avoid Shen Xu and the two, and now he will not resign because of this.

When she got home on the weekend, Mother Gu asked her to see "Manlu" again. Manzhen couldn't keep hiding, so she bought some fruit snacks and went to Zhu Mansion on Saturday morning.

It was 08:30 when we arrived at Zhu's mansion, Gu Zhenzhen was still sleeping, the servants performed their duties, Zhu Hongcai was not at home.Ever since the first business was successful, Zhu Hongcai seemed to have a turn of events, and his fortune was prosperous. At the same time, he became more and more busy, not only busy with speculative business, but also busy with various entertainments, and enjoyed the sensuality outside when he was free.Zhu Hongcai didn't come back last night. Now that he is rich, he is admired everywhere. Recently, he is having a hot fight with a dancer named Lily.

"Second Miss is here." Zhou's mother is an old man, relying on her seniority, she often teases Zhu Hongcai, and these people later dare not offend her.She also saw that his wife was a formidable person who kept flattering her, but Gu Zhenzhen didn't bother with her, and often used her to do things, so she could be regarded as a proud person.

Zhou's mother was very attentive to Manzhen who came to the door for the first time, she quickly poured tea, and then went to inform Gu Zhenzhen.

"Since my sister is still sleeping, don't wake her up." Manzhen didn't want to face the counterfeit face to face, and asked about Gu Zhenzhen's condition in a formal manner.

Zhou's mother often watched coldly and saw that his wife did not want to recover from her illness, so she said: "Oh, my wife suffered a lot in the early years and hurt her body. Now this disease is fierce. I'm afraid I have to take good care of it. The master is very happy." Caring for my wife, I can buy whatever my wife wants, and take whatever medicine is effective, no matter how expensive it is.”

At this time, Jin Lai, the driver of the family, came in, carrying a suitcase in his hand, followed by a little girl with a yellow and thin face, wearing a calico shirt, black trousers and red cloth shoes, and her little hands kept twisting the corners of her clothes. , eyes timidly looked around.

When Zhou's mother saw it, she was taken aback for a moment, and then greeted her with a smile all over her face: "Hey, is this the eldest lady? You came so soon? Hurry up, come in, you must be tired from the car ride all the way. Take a rest, the wife is about to get up, and the master will come back later."

Manzhen suddenly understood the girl's identity, she was the daughter of Zhu Hongcai's original wife.

Manzhen didn't want to stay any longer, so he came out after finding an excuse.

Leaving Zhu's mansion, Manzhen thought that she hadn't seen her sister for a long time, and she didn't know what happened to her sister, and when she could return to her body.Knowing that Tao Shuobai owns a cardboard shop, he hailed a rickshaw and went there.

When I got out of the car, I saw a plaque hanging on a small wooden building on the street—Taoji Paper Goods Shop. Although I knew this place a long time ago, it was the first time I came back.As soon as he entered the shop, Manzhen felt that the atmosphere was not right. Several young female students gathered together and chatted, commenting on the paper products in the shop, and looking towards the direction of the stairs from time to time.When Manzhen saw the scene in the shop clearly, he took a deep breath, the shop layout is really unique!

Manzhen had something on his mind, so he didn't have the time to watch, so he went to the counter and asked Uncle Mu, "Is Mr. Tao here?"

Uncle Mu naturally knew her, raised his hand and pointed towards the stairs: "Upstairs."

Manzhen went down the stairs to the second floor, the door was open, and there was a living room in the middle, which was very elegantly furnished, and there were several pots of bluegrass on the window sill facing the street.Tao Shuobai is still wearing a snow-white gown, sitting by the window, playing Go with his left and right hands, the sun shines on his body, as if time has stopped here, and Manzhen, who is full of anxiety, involuntarily slows down his steps.

"Ask your sister?" Tao Shuobai stopped the chess pieces and got straight to the point.

Manzhen nodded, inexplicably feeling that something must have happened to her sister.

Tao Shuobai said: "Your sister's condition is unstable now, I let her stay here, and there will be a good time in the near future, and I can let her go back."

"Really? Mr. Tao, thank you!" Manzhen was very happy, and asked tentatively, "Can I see my sister?"

"not now."

Manzhen was worried, but she couldn't force it because it was related to her sister's safety.

Coming out of the cardboard shop, Manzhen wandered aimlessly along the side of the road, when suddenly he heard someone call "Miss Gu", the voice was still familiar.Manzhen raised his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was Shen Shijun. They looked at each other, speechless for a while.

Neither of them expected such a reunion.

Shen Shijun originally spent the weekend with Xu Shuhui, but Xu Shuhui had just arrived at the new factory not long ago and needed to get to know his colleagues. A colleague asked Xu Shuhui to ride a horse on the weekend, and there were several other male and female colleagues with him, which was a bit of a friendship.Xu Shuhui originally wanted Shen Shijun to go with him, but Shen Shijun didn't like socializing, let alone strangers, so he declined.I'm bored at home on weekends, and I don't want to read a book. I plan to go out for a cup of coffee, but I saw Gu Manzhen while walking casually.

With just one look, Shen Shijun knew that the girl in front of him was the girl he had a crush on at first.

Shen Shijun suddenly said: "Miss Gu, long time no see, let's go have a cup of coffee?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shen Shijun felt that they were too abrupt, and hoped that the other party would agree.He had a vague premonition that if he missed this time, he might never see her again in the future.He has never been a very decisive person. This invitation was blurted out on impulse. If it was another time, he might not have the courage to open his mouth after weighing up and down.

Manzhen's face was slightly hot, and she was very surprised by Shen Shijun's invitation, but she also wished for the opportunity to repair the other's impression.

At this moment in Zhu's mansion, Gu Zhenzhen was woken up by Zhou's mother. Knowing that Zhu Hongcai's daughter was here, she didn't pay attention, so she just let Zhou's mother follow the arrangement she had given earlier.Hearing that Gu Manzhen had come and gone, she frowned, but she wasn't too angry, after all, she had changed her mind now.

"Ma'am, Miss Wang is here."

The corner of Gu Zhenzhen's mouth curled up: "Please come in."

Not long after, a girl with a graceful figure came in, wearing a satin sleeveless cheongsam with green fields and red flowers, high-heeled shoes, curly hair, fair skin, and a small leather bag in her hand.This woman is Wang Lina, who is not too tall. The makeup on her face is the same as that of Manlu before. She has dark eye circles, bright red cheeks, and thick colorful makeup on her face. It looks good from a distance, but it is a bit scary when viewed up close. of.This is because of the working environment of the dancers. The lights in the ballroom are flickering, like a stage. In order to make themselves look good and attract guests, the dancers wear heavy stage makeup. This habit is brought into life, but not many.

The dancing girls are not stupid, but this Wang Lina...

Gu Zhenzhen took a closer look and saw that Wang Lina was out of her mind and full of thoughts.Sweeping from the opponent's waist again, the lower abdomen is very flat, no trace can be seen.

When the servant brought the tea, only Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Lina were left in the room.Gu Zhenzhen didn't go back and forth, she didn't know anything about Man Lu's experience as a dancer, she had a hard time prevaricating last time, and she would definitely reveal her story again.

"Lina, your complexion is not very good, what's wrong?"

"Sister Manlu, I, I'm pregnant again." Wang Lina didn't shy away from being pregnant, which was normal for dancers, even though they were very careful, they still couldn't avoid bad luck.Manlu had had two abortions before, which also hurt her body, causing her to suffer from old diseases and unable to have children.Wang Lina's unspeakable words are behind, but she really has no other way out, so she can only come to ask Manlu, after all, Manlu is now married to a rich man and has become a rich wife. "Sister Manlu, I don't have any money, can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back when I get my salary next month."

Gu Zhenzhen asked back, "How long have you been pregnant?"

"Two months."

Gu Zhenzhen calculated the feasibility, and said, "Lina, you can't always be like this. The people in your family are all vampires, and no matter how much money you make, it won't be enough for them. Let me tell you, you should Plan more for yourself."

Wang Lina thought she was showing off, and smiled wryly, "I don't have the good fortune of Sister Man Lu."

"If you want, you can marry our master." Gu Zhenzhen finally said this sentence, and before Wang Lina was surprised, she whispered more details and promised: "You think clearly, just do as I say, In the future, when you give birth to a son, you will be relied on for the rest of your life. I don’t expect anything else, but I am afraid that when I get old and have no son to rely on, he will dislike me, so I came up with this idea. I originally wanted to find a girl with a clean net worth, But you came to me suddenly, I think you are quite suitable, as long as you can have a son, our master doesn't care about your background." He sighed again: "To tell you the truth, our master has a first wife in the country, and I don't care about it. It's a concubine. If you really marry in, after the country woman dies, it's not sure who will be the real wife. You and I are sisters, and I will help you. I don't ask for anything else. In the future, your son will also have to give me a pension. It can be considered that I did not help you in vain."

Gu Zhenzhen is very cunning, she didn't say that this was her plan to escape, but said that she was seeking to rely on an alliance, such a selfish plan for profit is more in line with human nature, and Wang Lina's defense is low.

Sure enough, Wang Lina was undeniably tempted. After all, Zhu Hongcai is very rich. She is most short of money now and has a good life. Who wants to be a dancer.But she was also afraid, she always felt that Gu Manlu was plotting something, even a simple girl, after a few years of being a dancer, would be able to have some success.

Wang Lina rubbed her stomach and said, "This is not Master Zhu's. I lied to him. If I'm found out..."

"You're stupid! Who said you're going to keep this child? You just use this child as a bargaining chip and enter the Zhu Mansion. When this 'child' is accidentally lost, you can conceive another one. I think you are young and in good health , Pregnancy is fine." Gu Zhenzhen said something extravagant, which made Wang Lina dizzy, and fell into this dream and couldn't get out.

For this reason, Wang Lina resigned from the ballroom and lived in Zhu's mansion in the name of visiting a sick person. Zhu Hongcai never cared about these things, even if his daughter Zhaodi picked him up, he didn't necessarily care about it, let alone get close to her.Zhaodi was timid, afraid of Zhu Hongcai, followed Zhou Ma's instruction and called Gu Zhenzhen "Mom", Gu Zhenzhen frowned, and Zhaodi was too scared to go forward.

Gu Zhenzhen wouldn't make things difficult for a little girl, but she wouldn't waste her time on girls, she couldn't take care of herself, so she wouldn't have the time to take care of Zhu Hongcai's daughter.

On this day Zhu Hongcai came back drunk, Gu Zhenzhen personally made a cup of tea in the kitchen and asked the servant to deliver it.Zhu Hongcai drank tea and fell asleep.Gu Zhenzhen asked the servants to go down, and after confirming that no one was there, she called Wang Lina out, and together they dragged Zhu Hongcai to the next room, and took off her clothes, shoes and socks. The whole process was not gentle, but Zhu Hongcai slept soundly, without frowning one time.

Gu Zhenzhen snorted coldly, but she had put enough sleeping pills in the tea to ensure that Zhu Hongcai could sleep until dawn.

After finishing all this yesterday, Gu Zhenzhen told Wang Lina: "Remember what we said before, don't miss anything."

"Don't worry, I remember everything clearly." This is a major event related to a lifetime of wealth, and Wang Lina dare not be careless.

After Gu Zhenzhen left, Wang Lina took off all her clothes and lay down next to Zhu Hongcai who was also naked.

In the morning, Zhu Hongcai woke up rubbing his dizzy head, and was taken aback. This is not his room, why is it in the guest room?Looking again, there was still a faint smell of face powder in the room, as if Wang Lina lived here.Zhu Hongcai also knew Wang Lina earlier, but he was not familiar with her. Wang Lina was not the most beautiful, nor was he the type he liked. He was also a little surprised to learn that Wang Lina lived at home.Thinking that Man Lu can only recuperate at home now, it is probably boring, and it is not very strange that the former sisters came to chat and catch up.

But as soon as he sat up, he was dumbfounded.

Zhu Hongcai was a veteran at the party, seeing the clothes were messed up and naked, he guessed what happened last night, couldn't help but patted his head, and cursed secretly: I'm really drunk and passed out.This was something he took advantage of, and the reason why she sighed was because she was afraid that Manlu would make trouble with him if she found out.

It was almost ten o'clock at this time, Zhu Hongcai came downstairs to ask Zhou Mama to get something to eat, after a while Gu Zhenzhen also came down.Gu Zhenzhen rarely came downstairs, especially when Zhu Hongcai was at home, but this time it was different.Gu Zhenzhen first asked the servant a few words, and then muttered suspiciously and dissatisfied: "What's the matter with Lina, she lived well, but suddenly she left without a word."

Zhu Hongcai said casually, "Probably something happened at home."

Gu Zhenzhen curled her lips and said nothing.

One day in the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Hongcai was forced to go home by a phone call from Gu Zhenzhen. Zhu Hongcai was annoyed at first, but when he saw Wang Lina sitting on the sofa in the living room, he felt guilty.Although Zhu Hongcai always thought that Gu Zhenzhen was infertile and didn't care about his extravagant spending time outside, but sleeping with the sister who was invited by the other party as a guest was unreasonable in the end.Especially today when Wang Lina came to the door suddenly, and Gu Zhenzhen's expression and tone were very wrong, which made Zhu Hongcai worry.

Zhu Hongcai laughed and said, "Man Lu, why are you calling me back so urgently?"

"What's the matter with you and Lina?" Gu Zhenzhen made an angry and sad face, pointed at Wang Lina and said, "Just now Lina came to tell me that she is pregnant with your child!"

"What?" Zhu Hongcai was first surprised, then delighted, and then full of doubts.After all, Wang Lina is a dancer, and there are all kinds of guests, but she can't do what the other party says. Although he hopes for a son, he doesn't want to raise a son for others.

Wang Lina didn't raise her head, she was wearing a gray woolen coat, she seemed very reserved: "Mr. Zhu, I don't want anything else, I just want some money for abortion to support my health. I left the ballroom for some reason and have no income. , there is really no other way, otherwise I would not be able to come to Sister Man Lu."

Gu Zhenzhen immediately objected: "How can the child be destroyed..."

"Okay!" But Zhu Hongcai cut off her words, raised his legs, took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and threw them on the table like a rascal, and said, "It seems that Miss Wang is a smart person. Know current affairs. Although I don’t know whose seed is in your belly, but since I slept with you, I can’t sleep in vain. 100 yuan! Take the money and leave!”

"Hongcai!" This Gu Zhenzhen imagined differently at first, didn't Zhu Hongcai always wanted a son?Even if you don't believe what's in Wang Lina's stomach, it's still possible, so how can you just get rid of it so easily?After killing this child, Wang Lina will no longer have the chance to enter Zhu's mansion, so how can she escape?

"Not everyone can raise Zhu Hongcai's son." Zhu Hongcai's words were already very blunt.

Wang Lina blushed. She had never done such a thing before. After all, she was afraid. Seeing Zhu Hongcai's temper, she was afraid that revealing the truth would cause trouble, so she immediately changed her mind.She took the money on the table and left in a hurry with her head bowed without saying a word.

"... Lina? Wang Lina!" Gu Zhenzhen almost died of anger.

Zhu Hongcai changed his expression again, gently pressed Gu Zhenzhen on the sofa, and said, "Man Lu, I know what you're thinking, but that Wang Lina can't do it. If you really want to find someone to give birth to a son for me, let alone you A college student like my sister should at least be clean, right?"

Gu Zhenzhen took a deep breath, trying to suppress her fury, and did not defend Zhu Hongcai's misunderstanding.I gave 100 yuan in vain, and the result?Gu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth angrily, her whole body ached.Zhu Hongcai said it nicely, he wants someone with a clean family background, and a girl with a clean family background may not be willing to be his concubine of a nouveau riche!Even though he cursed like this, there were traces in his heart.

Gu Zhenzhen tossed and turned for several days, and this day Gu's mother came to see her and talked about A Bao who used to serve her.

"I met Abao on the street that day, and she asked about you. Abao hasn't found anything to do yet, and she is very worried. She has been by your side for several years, so she still wants to serve you."

"A Bao..." Gu Zhenzhen thought of A Bao's appearance, and remembered that Zhu Hongcai was a little cautious about A Bao in the past, but he probably doesn't like her now, but no matter what, A Bao is fair-looking, can talk and laugh, Another big girl with yellow flowers, not the same as Wang Lina.Gu Zhenzhen took her heart, and with the lesson of Wang Lina's incident, she will never repeat the same mistakes.

She wanted to go to Abao's address, and Abao came to Zhu Mansion two days later.

She didn't tell A Baoming, but whenever Zhu Hongcai was at home, she asked A Bao to serve Zhu Hongcai. The two were old acquaintances, and they talked and laughed on weekdays. This made Zhou's mother jealous, but with Gu Zhenzhen's backing, Zhou Mom was helpless, and really suffered a lot.

In private, Gu Zhenzhen made it clear to Zhu Hongcai: "Hongcai, you also know that I wanted my second sister to follow you, but the second sister seems to have noticed something, and even avoided my elder sister. Wang Lina, you don't like me, ah Bao is a clean girl, I will be your concubine, will I not wrong you?"

Zhu Hongcai has a good friend outside, but he is afraid that Gu Zhenzhen will not let go, and dare not say it, and it would be terrible to make a scene.Anyway, since he doesn't come back usually, it means that he has multiple places to stay. In addition, he still has thoughts about Manzhen, so he endures Gu Zhenzhen.Now seeing Gu Zhenzhen surrendering in secret, I also feel refreshed. Although Ah Bao is not as knowledgeable as those women outside, she is indeed innocent. The woman who gave birth to a son should be innocent.
