Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and many major events have happened at home and abroad in the past few years. Even Hong Kong, far away in the southeast, can feel the aftershocks of the current situation.

Two years ago, the Japanese organized dumping in Hong Kong, and the Chinese asset industry was greatly affected. Although the Chinese in Hong Kong have organized many boycotts of Japanese goods, due to various reasons, they have had little success and can only end in failure. Today, the shelves of department stores are still full of Japanese goods, and there are many sneaky Japanese people in the streets and alleys, and the smell of mountain rain is everywhere.

But these have little to do with Wen Jianning for the time being.

In the past three years, she has been busy writing in addition to studying.

At that time, she did not completely follow Mr. Qi's intention and directly gave up Mandarin Butterfly's writing, but still changed her pen name to contribute to various tabloids, so as to save a sum of money.

On the other hand, half a month ago, Wen Jianning finally sent the revised draft of "Flowers on the Sea" to Shanghai.

This one is based on her own observations, and Mr. Qi helped revise it. She has been preparing for this novel for almost three years.

Now that half a month has passed, there should be news from Mr. Qi's side.

At the same time, she and Feng Yi, who was far away in the United States, had been in correspondence.

Although Wen Jianning was entrusted by Feng Ling at first, after three years, the two have become friends. Wen Jianning occasionally asked Feng Yi some academic questions in the letter, and the other party would answer them carefully, and the two sides always maintained a gentleman's friendship as light as water.

It's just that Wen Jianning still didn't dare to let people send the letter to the villa, and every time he went to the post office to pick up the letter himself.

She knew very well that once Wen Jingshu and the others knew about it, they would definitely find a way to make a big fuss.

Wen Jianning didn't want to cause trouble for Feng Yi.

When she returned to the villa that day, the dance party was still going on in the living room as usual.

Wen Jianning was about to sneak upstairs while people were unprepared, as usual, but was suddenly stopped by Wen Jingshu from behind: "Jianning, you just came back, and you want to go upstairs again?"

There was palpable displeasure in her slightly raised tone.

The people around who were originally talking stopped and looked over, Wen Jianning had no choice but to turn around.

Mei Shan, who came to the front, smiled and groaned: "I talked about you just now, you stayed in the room all day, and I deliberately wanted to look for you today, but I didn't see anyone, come and see Boss Chen, he has long wanted to see you." ”

Wen Jianning, the man beside them, had noticed it before, and he would be able to formally look at each other.

This Boss Chen is about forty years old, with high eyebrows and introverted eyes, and he looks like an old and sophisticated figure. He is tall and strong, with a rough temperament, even if he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a black Western-style dress, he still does not feel half polite, but looks nondescript.

Wen Jianning said politely: "Hello Boss Chen." ”

Her attitude was too restrained, which made Wen Jingshu on the side frown, but she couldn't say Wen Jianning in front of Boss Chen, so she only ordered: "You go upstairs to change your clothes and come down, there are distinguished guests today, and you are not allowed to stay in the room anymore." ”

Wen Jianning looked down at the tip of his shoe and did not respond.

Mei Shan pushed her: "This kid is stupid, don't go quickly." ”

Wen Jianning turned around and went upstairs at this time, his movements were slow and stiff, and he was reluctant just by looking at his back.

When she came down from upstairs to change into her dress, she was dragged to the corner by Jianxiu first, and whispered to her the origin of Boss Chen.

This person's name is Chen Hongwang, who was originally a tobacco and soil dealer, who made a windfall in the years of war and chaos, and then operated in the mainland for many years, and now has a rich fortune. Recently, he went to Hong Kong to do business, and he was eager to open the door in the social arena, so he got in touch with Wen Jingshu and them.

Although he is a mud leg that has not been washed, he can neither speak English nor understand social etiquette, but he is quite knowledgeable and interesting, and he is bold and generous, and he has won the favor of Wen Jingshu and them.

After Wen Jianning listened, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "Isn't it enough for this Boss Chen to have two people, Aunt Mei and Aunt Mei Shan?"

Seeing that Xiu paused for a moment, he still explained in a low voice: "I heard that although Boss Chen has a lot of money, his wife at home has long passed away. He came to Hong Kong this time, in addition to opening the door for business, he also intended to find a lady in Hong Kong to be his wife, not specifically to have fun. ”

Obviously, neither Mei Shan nor Wen Jingshu can be a candidate for wife.

Although the old lady Wen in Huaicheng is in her last years, she is still breathing, so Mei Shan's current identity is still the aunt and wife of the Wen family; It's okay to play with these two people, but no one with brains will marry them and go home to be a serious wife.

But this Boss Chen is not young anymore, and his net worth is still so rich, rather than cheapening others, it is better to leave it to his own family, and it can be regarded as fat and water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders. So, in order to win over the big customers, they hit them with the idea?

Wen Jianning sneered in his heart.

She turned to Jianxiu and said, "If they let you do something, you don't pay attention to them." ”

Wen Jianning knew that the days of embroidery had not been easy in the past few years.

Although the three sisters are almost the same age, the difference between Jianxiu and Jianwan is only one year old, and the two go to various dance parties together on weekdays, and they often accompany a group of middle-aged people downstairs to drink and have fun. Seeing that Wanshang has Lu Jiajun's justifiable boyfriend behind his back, seeing embroidery is different. She has a soft temperament, and she is often called by Wen Jingshu. Wen Jianning had persuaded her several times before, but she didn't listen.

Seeing Xiu, she persuaded her instead: "Jianning, as the saying goes, it is easy to break, don't be too stubborn." My aunt has been quite dissatisfied with you for the past few years, so you must not contradict her again. Annoyed her, we didn't have a good life. ”

Wen Jianning shook his head: "There are some things that can't be backed down." If you take a step back, they will gain an inch. Don't be afraid of them, give me a little more time. "When she has saved enough money, she will find a way to take Jianxiu out of here. Although she hasn't figured out where to settle down yet, at least they can have a way out of the Wen family.

The two were talking, and Wen Jingshu on the other end walked over again, and naturally there was still the Boss Chen beside them.

Wen Jingshu glanced at Wen Jianning, "I still look like a girl after changing my clothes, so why don't I come over and toast Boss Chen." ”

Chen Hongwang said with a smile: "Where is there a reason to let the master's family be courteous, it should be me to toast the third lady." ”

He raised his glass in front of Wen Jianning and took the initiative to clink glasses with her.

"I'm sorry, I don't drink," Wen Jianning casually picked up a glass of juice from the table, neither humble nor arrogant, "I'm young, so I can only use this as a substitute for wine, I hope Boss Chen won't blame." ”

After speaking, she didn't clink glasses with Chen Hongwang, she raised her head and drank it all, completely ignoring Wen Jingshu's already blue face.

Although Wen Jianning drank juice, seeing that she was neat and unashamed, even if he knew that the other party did not give face, Chen Hongwang still praised her: "The third lady is really a bold person, I admire it." ”

After speaking, he also raised his glass and drank it all.

Mei Shan was afraid that Wen Jianning would make another rude move, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't introduced Miss Zhao to Boss Chen yet, and it's not good to leave the beautiful woman aside, so let's move over there first." ”

Chen Hongwang glanced at Wen Jianning and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if I get close to the other person, I will snub the person in front of me again." ”

Having said this, he turned and left with Mei Shan.

Wen Jingshu turned around as she walked and gave Wen Jianning a warning look.

Jianxiu was already frightened by Wen Jianning's actions, and hurriedly warned her: "Jianning, when the meeting is gone, you can say a soft word to your aunt, don't do it again." Looking at Wen Jingshu's expression, it is obvious that she wants to settle accounts after the autumn.

Wen Jianning looked down at the hands that had been clenched into fists on his laps, and said softly, "Sooner or later, there will be this day." ”

Because her previous attitude was too obvious, until the end of the dance, Wen Jingshu and the others didn't dare to take Chen Hongwang over here. After the end of the show, Wen Jingshu and the others personally went to the villa to see Chen Hongwang away.

As soon as she turned around, Wen Jingshu sank her face: "Give me back to the living room to talk." ”

Several girls knew what would happen next, and they all glanced at Wen Jianning.

When she returned to the living room, Mei Shan gave Wen Jianning a look first, and said first: "Boss Chen's impression of you today is very good, but you are such an adult, and you only drink juice, which is too childish, you will have to change it in the future." ”

Wen Jingshu on the side was still angry: "In my opinion, you are used to her, a teenager, and she still treats herself as a child." In the past, she was already married and had children at her age. ”

Wen Jianning bowed his head and said, "I'm still a student, and I hope to focus on my studies." By the time I go to college in two years, it's never too late to socialize. ”

Wen Jingshu sneered instead: "You are a girl, what's the use of reading so many books." That is, our Wen family has a lot of money, so we can raise a girl who used to sell fish to be a female student. But you have to know what you are, you have to go to school for a few years, and it is difficult to let good people wait for you for a few years. ”

Wen Jianning got up directly, turned around and walked back upstairs quickly, and locked the door of the room.

This attitude obviously angered Wen Jingshu, she followed her all the way to the outside of Wen Jianning's room, and slammed the door: "Your mother shamelessly climbed my fourth brother's bed and gave birth to you a wild seed! If it weren't for the Wen family to get you back, you would still be selling fish in the countryside now! You eat me, wear me, live in mine, but now you are used to taking on the appearance of a tall lady, and you don't look at what you are!"

The others followed Wen Jingshu upstairs, and their faces changed when they heard her words.

Even Jianwan was a little gloating when she heard Wen Jianning being scolded at first, and the expression on her face changed when she heard the last few words.

In addition to Jianyu who was present, she and Jianxiu were both concubines, and they were also sent under the fence. If it weren't for the fact that she had a stable relationship with Lu Jiajun in the past few years, there was a chance that she would marry into the Lu family in Zhejiang in the future, and maybe who would be scolded today.

Wen Jingshu scolded a few words, but there was no movement from the people in the room, and she angrily called the maid: "Bring me the key." ”

Before the servant could retrieve the key, the door inside clicked open.

Wen Jianning ran out of it directly, slammed Wen Jingshu into a stumble, and then ran downstairs without looking back.

The people behind him panicked to help Wen Jingshu, and when Wen Jianning rushed out of the living room, he could still hear Wen Jingshu's scolding upstairs: "Don't stop any of you, since she has the ability to run, don't go back to my mother in the future!"
