Chapter 37 The Scattered Flowers Are as Promised
The sky finally lit up while waiting, Gong Mengshu saw through the cracks in the branches of the woods that the door of his house was open, Erniang Wu had unkempt hair, sleepy eyes yawning, dragging embroidered shoes out to pour spittoons.
Gong Mengshu turned around and said to Huang Qilun: "You go, my family is up, I have to go home." Huang Qilun was interrupted from napping, and immediately bounced up in reaction and said, "Okay." As he spoke, he was about to go down the hill in a daze, but was stopped by Gong Mengshu: "Can you go down from the back of the hill?"
Huang Qilun saw a worried expression on Gong Mengshu's face with messy hair in the morning light, although her little face was pale, but her picturesque eyebrows and graceful posture made his heart ripple, his heart began to beat wildly again, and he nodded involuntarily: "Yes, okay-" In fact, he didn't know what Gong Mengshu said.
Gong Mengshu urged Huang Qilun to walk to the back mountain, and after taking two steps, he remembered the coat on his body, quickly took it off and returned it to Huang Qilun, and hurriedly said, "Thank you." Then he walked in the opposite direction to Huang Qilun.
Huang Qilun was holding his coat, and the fragrance left on Gong Mengshu's body was in his nose, he looked back at Gong Mengshu's slender figure stupidly, and suddenly called Gong Mengshu in a ghostly manner, "Miss Gong, I, can I still come to you in the future?"
Gong Mengshu stood still, Huang Qilun said that he felt that he was a little greedy and insufficient, and was about to change his words and repent of his sins, but Gong Mengshu turned his head slightly and said, "Yes, Huang Qilun, we are friends, aren't we?" After speaking, he hurried away.
Huang Qilun stood in place, the originally simple and monotonous small dirt slope seemed to have become his paradise in an instant, and he was almost not excited to jump up on the hillside. He forcibly controlled his excitement, but finally couldn't help it, and celebrated by rolling on the grass a few times in a row.
Gong Mengshu hurriedly entered the house, Erniang Wu was feeding her little brother in disheveled clothes, and saw Gong Mengshu, who was thin and haggard and pale in the early morning, suddenly flashed into the door like a ghost, and was so frightened that he just opened his mouth with the bowl, and looked at Gong Mengshu and her politely bowed his head, and touched his little brother's head casually, and then entered his father Gong Hongwen's study.
Erniang Wu came to her senses from her shock, quickly stopped the feeding action in her hand, stood up, and tiptoed to the root of the window in the study to eavesdrop on the movement inside.
There was a conversation between the father and daughter in the study, and Wu couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, so he leaned into the window. Suddenly, she heard a crisp "pop" cracking sound, like the sound of the teapot on the table being smashed, and she was so frightened that she stroking her chest again and again. The son who also came to listen to the corner next to her whispered to her, "Mother, what are you listening to?"
Wu hurriedly covered his son's mouth and motioned for him not to make a sound. After a while, I heard the sound of the study opening the door, and Gong Mengshu ran out of it with tears on his face. Gong Hongwen's scolding voice came from behind: "You dead girl, I'm angry in the morning, this dead girl who doesn't know what to do!
Gong Hongwen's loud rebuke alarmed Wu Peisi, the eldest lady who was in retreat and a vegetarian Buddha, and she pushed open the window to see what was going on, but saw Gong Mengshu standing in the small courtyard wiping her tears. At this time, Wu Peisi was anxious, and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?" Mengshu?"
Gong Mengshu looked at her mother through the window, just crying. Gong Hongwen was still angry, chased him out and scolded Wu Peisi angrily: "It's all the good girls you taught! The good young grandmother of the Cheng family is not appropriate, and she doesn't want to go to school in a golden opportunity, not only does she have to cut off relations with Cheng Ruikai, but she doesn't even want to graduate from middle school!"
Wu Peisi's heart sank, and he didn't care about talking to Gong Hongwen, so he hurriedly opened the door, his legs that were used to futons were still sore, and he chased out in three steps and two steps at the moment, and said in his mouth: "Mengshu, is what your father said true?"
Gong Mengshu burst into tears and hissed at his mother: "Yes, yes, I want to separate from Cheng Ruikai, and I don't want to go to school! Mother, please understand me and agree to my request?"
"Child," Wu Peisi saw Gong Mengshu crying, her heart was sour, and she also cried, "I can agree to any other requests you have, but you can't cut off contact with the Cheng family." You've been in the Cheng family for ten years, what happened to make you so sad and sad? If you have any grievances, you can talk to your mother, don't rush or say angry wordsโโ"
"I didn't say anything angry," Gong Mengshu felt that her heart was clogged, she was almost suffocated, she retreated to the gate, looked at her father and mother who caught up, and it was difficult to suppress the pain and grievances that she had endured for so long, and cried: "Mother, I really can't stand it, I can't stay in the Cheng family anymore......"
"Is it Cheng Ruikai who wants to marry a wife?" or Wu Peisi understood her daughter, and asked Gong Mengshu with tears in her eyes.
Gong Mengshu described it as withered, she closed her eyes and didn't answer, and tears kept rolling down her face. Wu Peisi choked up and said, "Why don't you understand that this is your life, and you can't force it." You have to be content with the destiny of heaven and be a good helper to Ruikai...... It's an opportunity that no one else can get......"
"Why do you say that, mother, I thought you were the one who knew me best......" Gong Mengshu shook his head with tears in his eyes, and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
"Because you have no choice but this way! You listen to your mother's words, if you have an awkward relationship with Ruikai's child, go back and apologize, Ruikai is a man who can be entrusted for life, and you will regret it in the future if you give up-" Wu Peisi persuaded Gong Mengshu bitterly.
But Gong Mengshu didn't listen at all, and her father and mother's overreaction to this incident was far beyond her imagination, making her both sad and disappointed. The hope of returning home to find solace was dashed, and she regressed in frustration, not wanting to hear her parents say the same about her.
"Mengshu, Mengshu, where are you going?" Wu Peisi saw Gong Mengshu's intention to escape, and hurriedly chased after two steps, trying to hold Gong Mengshu.
"Yes, eldest lady, where are you going? Don't you even listen to your parents?" Wu, who was standing in the corner of the courtyard, led his son, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, quite gloating.
Seeing this, Gong Hongwen shouted: "Let this unfilial girl go! If she is still obsessed and insists on going her own way, she will never have to go home, and I will give birth to this daughter for nothing!"
Gong Mengshu's heart hurt even more, she turned her head, turned around and rushed out. The anxious shouts of her mother Wu Peisi behind her gradually faded away, and she ran all the way while crying, full of grievances and shame, and even more helpless and sad.
The world is so big, there is no place for her, Gong Mengshu, who is nineteen years old, suddenly lost all her support, and even the world became dark.
She walked around the alley near her home like a ghost, and the passers-by saw her lost soul, fearing that she was a neurotic patient, and hurriedly dodged. She wandered the streets alone, like a lamb that had been separated from the flock, helpless and confused when she couldn't find a home to return to the plateau.
Blankly turned to the street, facing a menacing black car that was driving at a high speed, Gong Mengshu came out of the alley coldly, the car suddenly didn't have time to brake, just right on the opposite side of her, and rolled towards her fiercely!
Gong Mengshu couldn't avoid it, thinking that this would be dead, dead and dead, but she heard a long emergency brake movement, and the black and shiny high-end car stopped no less than ten centimeters away from her. A man hurriedly got out of the car, Gong Mengshu was waiting to be scolded by the driver, but the man suddenly held her in his arms and called her eagerly to her face: "Mengshu, Mengshu, you are really here!"
Like Cheng Ruikai's voice, Gong Mengshu, who had not slept all night and was physically exhausted, was already crumbling, her eyes were wide and unfocused, and she wanted to see the future person clearly, but it was dark in front of her, and the whole person fainted softly in the arms of that person.
