On the other end, Jianwan was very happy when she received a call from a department store inviting her to try out a new fragrance in Paris.

She originally wanted to take Wen Jingshu and them with her, but the other two were not interested today, and the department store repeatedly emphasized that she was the only one who obtained the qualification, so she had to go by car alone.

But when she arrived at the place, she was directly invited by the Feng family to get into the car and ran all the way to the Feng Mansion.

Although Jianwan quickly understood that Wen Jianning would not be okay and called her out so much, she was still in a bad mood after being tricked. As soon as she entered the Feng family's living room, she saw Wen Jianning, who was already sitting on the sofa waiting for her, and she didn't have a good face.

She took off her lambskin gloves and said with a smile: "Say, what is the matter with Young Lady Feng looking for me today?"

Wen Jianning didn't have the heart to go around in circles with her, so she got straight to the point: "Do you know about seeing embroidery and becoming addicted to smoking?" ”

Her words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she was suddenly frightened by Jianwan, and said in a panic: "You, what are you talking about......

Wen Jianning sneered: "It seems that you don't know, seeing that there is such a big problem with embroidery, and I don't know what your so-called sister has been doing all day, and you haven't even seen any clues!"

Seeing that Wan came back to his senses, he didn't hesitate to distinguish for himself: "I, how do I know this, I haven't been in Hong Kong for the past few years, and I only come back two or three times a year, and each time I only stay for a few days." Besides, she's an adult anymore, you, haven't you seen her halfway, haven't you seen it too, why are you blaming me?"

In the end, she consciously grasped Wen Jianning's loophole and raised her chin again.

Wen Jianning's mask frost: "Okay, I don't care about these things with you, the question now is what to do when I see embroidery?"

Seeing Wan hesitated for a moment, his voice became lower and lower: "I can't control this matter, if you want to take care of it, you can do it yourself." But I can remind you, go back and discuss it with your aunt, don't let us get caught in the middle of it again......"

Before she finished speaking, she found Wen Jianning staring at her coldly.

Just when she was seen covered in hair and sat on pins and needles, she saw the person opposite slowly raise a sarcastic smile: "Don't you think that she is willing to touch those things in private, and those people who get along with her day and night in the villa in the middle of the mountain don't know?" Miss Wen, you might as well use your empty head to think about it." ”

Jianwan's face finally turned white.

At this moment, the servant suddenly came to report, saying that he had woken up when he saw embroidery.

Wen Jianning didn't care about the suspicious Jianwan, and went upstairs alone to check the situation of Jianxiu.

Seeing Xiu lying on the bed, her face pale and lifeless, only her godless eyes were still staring at her: "You already know." ”

Wen Jianning lowered his head and tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "You don't have to think about it, you don't have to go back to the Mid-Levels Villa, just stay in the Feng Mansion to recuperate in peace." Whatever happens, wait until you're well. ”

Seeing Xiu sneered, his emotions became a little excited: "You are being amorous again, do you think I need your pity? From the past to the present, you will always show that you Miss Wen San are right, and you are the most different from us mediocre people." Do you know that I hate you the way you look, don't be coy in front of me, I don't need your charity!"

Wen Jianning looked at her deeply: "I know." ”

This sentence made all of Jianxiu's anger seem to hit the cotton, she was angry at first, and then saw the indifferent look on Wen Jianning's face, and felt a little dazed. She thought that these words would at least stab her hard, but she didn't expect that the other party had no reaction. In contrast, her agitation and accusations seemed so ridiculous and self-righteous.

Since when did she say such excessive words, she couldn't hurt the other party.

This made her inexplicably a little depressed, but also a little unwilling.

After a long time, I saw Xiucai slowly struggling to get up from the bed: "So I should go." ”

After all, she is still a person from the Mid-Levels Villa, and she will not let her go easily until Wen Jingshu can squeeze out her use value. The two of them are already on the same page, and her stay here will only make their relationship worse. What's more, although she married into the Feng family, the life of such a family must not be easy, she has no ability to protect her, and she is still talking big things, which is really naïve as always.

Seeing Xiu thinking like this, he got out of bed and was about to bump Wen Jianning's shoulder.

Probably because the effect of the medicine has not passed, or maybe because her body has already been hollowed out, she was about to leave before she could stand firmly, but she tripped over herself, and suddenly fell heavily on the stall, and she couldn't get up for a while.

She also probably sensed her embarrassment, struggled a few times and lay on the ground with her head buried in it, as if as long as she never looked up or got up, she could pretend that she had never had such an embarrassing moment in front of the other party.

Wen Jianning didn't help her, but asked lightly: "Then what are you going to do when you go back, continue to be at the mercy of our good aunt?" You would rather continue to be someone else's puppet than stay with me." If you want to compete with me, at least take care of your body. Otherwise, as it is now, it will always be me who looks down on you, not you who will give me charity. ”

As she finished, there was a long dead silence in the room.

Wen Jianning thought that if she was stimulated like this, it might be more effective than gentle persuasion.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the man lying on the ground to curl up and sobbed silently.

She sighed slightly in her heart, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to Jianxiu on the ground, but was tightly held by the other party. She couldn't tell for a moment whether she wanted to push away or accept it, only to feel a large cold teardrop hit the back of her hand

After Jianxiu's mood stabilized, Wen Jianning gently closed the door of the room, leaving her alone to rest.

When she got downstairs, the maid told her that she had left.

Wen Jianning was angry in her heart, so she simply didn't bother to care about her anymore, and concentrated on taking care of it.

Seeing that Xiu's temper is capricious and unpredictable, she was provoked by her words that day, but she only settled for two or three days, and then changed her mind to escape and return to the villa in the middle of the mountain. But Wen Jianning resolutely refused to let go, and at most she could only flee to the courtyard, and she couldn't even approach the gate. At first, Jianxiu just accused Wen Jianning of being nosy, and then it turned into hysterical spilling, but a group of servants suppressed her, and no matter how much she struggled, it was useless.

After repeating this for a while, she finally calmed down and stayed in the Feng Mansion to quit her addiction.

Out of the mood of taking care of Jianxiu, Wen Jianning did not ask her how she was forced to become addicted to smoking.

However, she roughly calculated that it could only be after she escaped from the Mid-Levels Villa, at most in that year or two. Wen Jingshu always has something to control the young girls, some with the so-called love, some with money, if neither is enough, it will be like seeing embroidery, she will be firmly controlled in the palm of her hand in this yin way.

Thinking of this, Wen Jianning hated this so-called aunt even more.

In the following days of recuperation in Jianxiu, Wen Jingshu once came to the door to ask for someone in a menacing manner, but she was stopped when she arrived at the door of the Feng Mansion, and she didn't even see Wen Jianning's face, so she could only leave angrily.

Another time, Wen Jianning was followed by a car from a distance when she went out, and when she simply asked people to go in the direction of the British police station, the car finally disappeared and never appeared again for several days.

Later, she received a call from Feng Ling, only to know that this incident had alarmed Feng Ling. She asked people to say hello to the villa in the middle of the mountain, and warned Wen Jingshu not to say goodbye, and the other party was honest.

Wen Jianning was a little surprised, he didn't expect Feng Ling to take the initiative to help.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to guess her confusion and incomprehension, and snorted coldly: "How can I say that I also taught your sisters back then, and I am also half of your teacher." If you see that this child is willing to fall, but your aunt's methods are too inferior, you will only see that my road is uneven. ”

Wen Jianning paused for a moment, and said sincerely: "Sister Feng Ling, I really appreciate your help......

Before she finished speaking, the person on the other side hung up the phone without giving face.

Wen Jianning looked at the telephone in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and turned his head to take care of the second uncle and Jianxiu.

Most of the days of November were spent slowly in the process of seeing the painful addiction of Xiuxiu.

When Wen Jianning was in Kunming, he also heard about the situation of people who were addicted to cigarettes.

It's one thing to know, but when you witness the embroidery with your own eyes, it's another mood.

She never thought that Jianxiu, who behaves elegantly on weekdays, would have such a hysterical moment, the whole person was struggling in bed like crazy, if she hadn't been tied up in advance, she was afraid that it would be turned upside down. But Rao is a person is tied, and he still has to toss for a long time when he sees the embroidery. It wasn't until this period had passed, and she gradually calmed down, that her whole body seemed to have been drained of her soul, and she was left with only a pale shell, lying motionless on the bed.

During this period, Jianxiu also begged her bitterly when she had a sudden attack, and tried to scold Wen Jianning when she was confused, but no matter what she wanted to say, she was blocked by the soft towel stuffed into her mouth.

Although this process is long and painful, under Wen Jianning's iron-hearted heart, although there is a voluntary component in the embroidery, it is more forced to quit little by little. It wasn't until more than half a month had passed that the situation gradually improved.

However, the Feng family's personal doctor told Wen Jianning that once this addiction is infected, I am afraid that it will not be completely quit in a day and a half, and it is very likely to relapse in the future. However, if I am in a good mental state and resolute enough, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

A few days later, after Jianxiu and Aunt Zhou returned to the room after their afternoon tea, they saw Wen Jianning directing the servants and setting up an easel in the corner of her room. Looking at the paintbrush oil paint on the table, it is obviously newly bought.

Seeing her come back, Wen Jianning pushed her to the easel and sat down, signaling her to use painting to pass the time when she was occasionally fine.

Jianxiu was a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't touched a paintbrush for many years, I'm afraid I can't draw well." ”

Wen Jianning pushed her to the easel, handed her the paintbrush and encouraged: "Even if a really talented person is unfamiliar, as long as he practices for a while, he can quickly pick it up." I remember you drew a cartoon when you were in middle school, and it was in the school newspaper,"

Seeing Xiu bowed his head and smiled for a while before he said, "It's been so long, if you don't say it, I don't remember it." ”

She said this, but she still followed Wen Jianning's advice and gradually picked up the paintbrush.

Sure enough, as Wen Jianning said, Jianxiu is indeed much more talented than her in painting, and after a few days, I will look at her sketches, and she will already look very good. After having a career that I can concentrate on, Jianxiu's mental state is really much more stable.

Wen Jianning secretly submitted several cartoons drawn by Jianxiu to various newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong, and within a few days, good news came that one of the cartoons was about to be published in the new issue of the weekly "Public Life".

Jianxiu's first reaction after hearing it was incredulous, and even a little uneasy: "Are you not lying to me, or are you asking someone to put my graffiti on it...... There's no need for that. ”

Wen Jianning smiled: "If you don't deceive, you won't be able to know when the publication comes out in two days." As for asking the editor to release your paintings, I haven't stayed in Hong Kong for three or four years, so where do I still have such connections? ”

Seeing that Xiu wanted to talk about the Feng family, but considering Wen Jianning's temperament, he would definitely not use the relationship of the Feng family as a favor at will, and slowly believed it. She first turned around excitedly for a while, and then suddenly sighed and laughed at herself: "When you said that I could paint to support myself, I still didn't believe it. Now that I think about it, I wish I had really gone with you back then. ”

She said that on the rainy night when Wen Jianning escaped from the villa in the middle of the mountain, she asked her to leave with her.

Wen Jianning was also silent for a while before smiling and patting her on the shoulder: "It's all over, it will be fine in the future." ”
