Chapter 501: Life Shouldn't Be Like This
In fact, Sun Ruiyang learned about the existence of "Vivian" earlier, which can be traced back to the time when he and Qiao Lin returned to their hometown to visit Old Joe.
In 2015, various short video platforms have sprung up. As the "outdated uncle" in his sister's mouth, Sun Ruiyang did not install those apps on his mobile phone. But Sun Jiaoyang, who dreams of becoming an Internet celebrity, has become a short video expert long before "Douyin" became popular.
It was through his sister that Sun Ruiyang met that "Vivian". In my sister's mouth, it is a beauty expert who has a good family, but does not rely on her family, and makes money on her own. The most important thing is that although her family is very rich, she is very low-key, no one has found out who her parents are, and she rarely shows off her wealth.
Sun Ruiyang thought she was an inspirational Internet celebrity, and just wanted to praise her sister, saying that she had grown a little, but when she saw the video of "Vivian", she suddenly felt sick to her stomach.
Sun Ruiyang still remembers her previous appearance, not only in the second middle school, even if you look at the entire port city, she is also the most outstanding school flower-level beauty. She's already beautiful enough, so why do she need plastic surgery?
Sun Jiaoyang didn't allow his brother to slander this hard-working young lady, Sun Ruiyang pushed his glasses and said seriously: "It is difficult for normal people to have such a perfect mandible line, unless there is a top retoucher, or she has sharpened her bones; her breasts are extremely rounded, her waist is too slender, and there are obvious black pinholes on her left and right thighs, which are suspected of being left by liposuction." ”
Sun Jiaoyang was stunned for a long time, and finally gave a cold war: "Damn, it's really a cold-blooded and ruthless medical student, terrible!"
"There's nothing to attack about plastic surgery, the point is that this person has a terrible character. Sun Ruiyang was worried that he had recognized the wrong person, so he was more conservative: "Do you remember a few years ago, when your sister Min Jia made a fuss about committing suicide several times? If I am not mistaken, this Vivian is the one who killed her back then." ”
In the year of Min Jia's accident, Sun Jiaoyang was not yet ten years old, she only remembered that the case caused a sensation in the city, but she didn't remember the appearance of those masterminds. As a neighbor who went up and down the stairs, she had witnessed the pain Min Jia endured. She couldn't believe that the person who harmed her was living so chicly.
Sun Jiaoyang was about to run to the Internet to scold her, but was stopped by her brother: "Can you calm down?" I said it, although the intuition is her, but she has changed too much, and I may recognize the wrong person. If only you were to know that she wasn't a person to be admired. ”
When she returned to her hometown that time, Sun Ruiyang also met Min Jia, who was walking in the community with her husband pushing a stroller. She looks very happy, she is not very old next year, but she exudes the light of motherhood all over her body, and she is well cared for by her family, calm and gentle. She had found the perfect home, and she had forgotten the painful past.
Sun Ruiyang was happy for her and chatted with the couple for a while. Min Jia said she was going to the supermarket to buy something for her two babies. With that, she naturally took out a mask from her down jacket pocket and expertly put it on her face.
Maybe it's because there are too many people in the supermarket, and she's worried about getting the flu! Or maybe it's because the shadow has been hanging over her, and she habitually wears a mask whenever she goes to crowded places.
Looking at her distant back, Sun Ruiyang thought to himself, I hope she thinks too much, she wears a mask just out of health considerations.
Sun Ruiyang didn't tell Qiao Lin about this episode, but she didn't expect that she went to Hong Kong and actually met "Vivian", who had changed her face and changed her name. In the few days since she came back from Hong Kong, she has never been able to lift her spirits.
Her new boyfriend is the son of a jeweler who grew up abroad and wants to come back and invest in movies...... looks like a talent and is full of luxury, this kind of man will actually become her boyfriend...... I really don't understand how worthless it feels for Min Jia and her ex-boyfriend. ”
People often need to feel less guilty in order to live more freely. Take Sun Ruiyang as an example, in fact, he has little to do with the doctor's death, but the guilt makes it difficult for him to sleep. He wrote two doctoral dissertations in almost a year, and his parents asked him more than once, "Why do you want to do this?"
In the final analysis, isn't it just a matter of peace of mind? And the price of "peace of mind" is indeed too great.
He comforted Jolene: "You have to think of it this way, there will always be a day when the lie will be exposed, and then she will lose more." There is also a possibility that the two of them are cheating on each other, and after using them, they will go their separate ways!"
Jolene was finally amused, laughing at him for being a showman with a bad stomach. Sun Ruiyang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's someone you hate, I want to curse her for you." ”
Within a few days, someone in the high school group posted messages about "Vivian". What comforts Jolene is that most of her classmates' three views are still very positive, and they all express the same worries - such people can become famous, so what will become of those children who watch her and imitate her all day long?
Some people also broke the news about her past on the Internet, but she didn't seem to care, and the frequency of showing her face became higher and higher. Behind her smile, she seemed to be challenging the bottom line of her former classmates' patience - I knew you would expose me online, but I didn't care. I also know that you will be angry, but I can still make a lot of money, what can you do with me?
Qiao Lin once clicked on her Weibo cheaply, which was similar to what she imagined, it was all a pretentious text, accompanied by beautiful photos she carefully selected. On the day of their chance encounter in Hong Kong, she also posted a text: "Those who called for wind and rain when they were students must have a better life than you? I am afraid of that time, but fortunately, I am doing well now." ”
It was as if the text had been specially sent to Jolene, and after reading it, Jolene really couldn't concentrate. But after thinking about it, she was not right, Jolene only started to counterattack in her second year of high school, and she has always been a popular figure in the school. As she said, she is doing so well now, why should she force herself to pretend to be a victim?
Jolene wanted to comment on her, "Justice is at ease, I hope you can do it yourself", but she typed it several times and deleted it all. Jolene thought to herself, she was doing well, so why bother arguing with her again?
Approaching the end of the year, there are more class reunions. Qiao Lin took the chocolates she bought from Hong Kong back to school to see rhubarb, and met her old classmate Liu Zheng. It stands to reason that it is basically impossible for her to return to China in the first year of her official assignment, but she can't hide the joy in the corners of her eyes, she said that she won a grand prize in a debate tournament before, and this time she returned to China to win the award, and by the way, she came to see her former mentor.
After Liu actively went abroad, he had a proud spring breeze and became more confident than before. With a high scholarship, she has no financial worries and can do research as much as she wants. In addition, her excellent leadership skills have also been fully utilized, and she has become the backbone of local Chinese students in just half a year. Jolene often sees the event photos she posts in the circle of friends, and although she is not pretty, she will always stand in the C position.
Liu Cheng asked about Qiao Lin's current situation, and Qiao Lin replied with a wry smile - that's it! Liu Zheng was obviously not satisfied with this answer, she said: "You have never been a person who can get by, and 'just like that' is not suitable for you at all." ”
But Qiao Lin really couldn't find a suitable expression, and she didn't even dare to tell Liu Zheng that she was preparing for the doctoral exam. In some ways, she has a strong sense of self-esteem, and if she fails, she will not be ridiculed by others, and she will be very uncomfortable herself.
"Jolene, you're confused, and when you find your way, you won't be like this. Last time, you were really a pity...... You have to believe that your life wasn't meant to be like this. ”
If Liu Zhengxin was her opponent, then she can indeed be called a good opponent who knows herself and her opponent, and she can see through Qiao Lin's mind at a glance. Jolene spoke less, not because she was jealous of her, but because she was confused.
After saying goodbye to Liu Zheng, Qiao Lin walked around Weiming Lake again and again, and the words always echoed in her ears - life should not be like this.
When she was tired of walking, she sat by the lake, silently in a daze.
That night, Min Jia updated a video. Since a long time ago, Min Jia has been filming dance tutorials. At first, she just wanted to Amway with others with the combination she liked, hoping to become a senior "technology fan" and let more people know about her idol. Unexpectedly, he actually made a name.
She has a deep dance foundation and meticulous teaching, and soon gained a large number of fans online. Min Jia is scarred in real life, but she has gained a lot of warmth on the Internet. Soon, Min Jia no longer only teaches her idol's dance, as long as it is a popular dance, she will jump and give a tutorial as soon as possible.
When she was a student, Jolene often helped her cousin record videos during the holidays, and a video of about 20 minutes often had to be recorded for a whole day, and she had to edit it later. It's completely unpaid to do this, but Min Jiale is tired of it. She likes to be called "Sister JIA" by others, and she is also happy to serve her little fans.
If Min Jia wants to be famous, it probably won't be difficult, but she is unusually low-key. Not to mention that during the period of pregnancy and childbirth, she stopped working for a year without saying a word, and every time she recorded a video, she would cover herself tightly with a baseball cap and mask. She said she didn't want the videos to disturb her daily life, but Jolene knew that she was still afraid of facing strangers and hearing the gossip that broke her heart again.
But in the video released that night, Min Jia took off her mask and deliberately approached the camera, her eyes did not dodge at all, as if she was looking at someone in front of the screen, as if to say - it's you, not me, why can you live an upright life? The words "dignified" should belong to me, not you!
