Chapter 30 King Xiang has a dream but is ruthless
Cheng Ruikai held a cigar in the corner of his mouth and sat in the car waiting for Gong Mengshu to come out. He leaned back in the saddle, his eyes narrowed, and the smoke covered his three-dimensional face, making it impossible to see his thoughtful expression. After a while, Gong Mengshu's figure finally appeared from behind the woods, she walked with her head down, her slender figure was slender and moving, and her body was elegant, but the hem of her shirt and skirt was a little wet and dirty, and a few strands of hair fell off her shoulders, and she didn't look as neat and energetic as before she came here.
Seeing Gong Mengshu walking in the opposite direction of the car in a trance, Cheng Ruikai pressed the horn, Gong Mengshu was like waking up from a big dream, his whole body shook, and he looked back at Cheng Ruikai, and then walked over slowly with his head down.
Cheng Ruikai snuffed out his cigar, sat up straight, and waited for Gong Mengshu to get into the car. Seeing that she went to pull the back door again, he finally laughed in a low voice without patience: "Are you afraid that I will eat you? If I really want you, do you think you can escape?" He said the truth, Gong Mengshu's movement of pulling the car door stopped, and his face turned red.
Cheng Ruikai saw from the side rearview mirror that Gong Mengshu's face was not only red, but even her eyes were slightly red. Did she cry? His heart moved, but he still refused to be gentle, and coldly ordered, "Sit ahead!"
Gong Mengshu finally didn't be stubborn anymore, she hesitated for a moment, and finally got into the car from the front door, carefully tidied up her skirt, and then sat down. Then he looked at his eyes, his nose looked at his nose, his head was lowered, and he didn't move.
Cheng Ruikai also drove the car by himself, and the two remained silent, and neither of them was willing to break the deadlock.
The car stopped at the door of Cheng's house, Cheng Ruikai threw the car key to the doorman of the Cheng family, and then took Gong Mengshu to the yard. I didn't take two steps, a figure came out of the courtyard, and when I saw the two of them coming in, I stopped and greeted with a smile: "Second brother, are you back?"
"Is it you, big brother? Oh, I'll go for a walk in the suburbs," Cheng Ruikai saw that it was the eldest brother Cheng Ruitai, and he also stopped, and talked to the eldest brother under the eaves porch.
"Yes, it's a sunny spring day, and the weather is so good, you really should go out for a walk......," Cheng Ruitai echoed, his gentle but keen eyes swept to Gong Mengshu, who had been standing far away from them, and his floating eyes were tightly attracted by a few strands of green leaves stuck to the tail tips of Gong Mengshu's braids, and the smile on the corner of Cheng Ruitai's mouth suddenly froze.
Cheng Ruikai also glanced at Gong Mengshu, who was silent, turned his head to look at Cheng Ruitai, and said to him, "Big brother, are you about to go out?"
"Oh, no, um, I ...... Just as he was about to go out, something suddenly happened at the end of the trading house. Cheng Ruitai's words were a little messy.
Cheng Ruikai smiled and said, "Such a coincidence, then don't bother the eldest brother to do things, I'll go in first." ”
"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" I'll let you have a meal in the kitchen," Cheng Ruitai saw that Cheng Ruikai was about to enter the courtyard with Gong Mengshu, and hurriedly asked behind them.
"Oh, thank you, big brother," Cheng Ruikai said, standing in place and waiting for Gong Mengshu to follow his footsteps, while bowing his head to thank his eldest brother Cheng Ruitai. Cheng Ruitai watched the two of them enter the courtyard, and couldn't help but be stunned, and only exhaled imperceptibly for a while, and then walked out of the courtyard slowly. The carriage was prepared for him outside, and he did not rush to get into it, but hesitated under the carriage for a while, and his figure looked a little lonely under the street lamp.
Cheng Ruikai walked in front, Gong Mengshu lowered his head, silently tried to keep up with his footsteps, the two bypassed the corridor and were about to go down the steps, but they saw the butler of the Cheng family coming towards him, and when he saw Cheng Ruikai, the housekeeper bowed respectfully and said, "Second young master, are you back?"
Cheng Ruikai raised his eyebrows and said, "I know, I'll go right away-" When the housekeeper saw that the word had arrived, he stepped aside and waited for Cheng Ruikai to walk over. Cheng Ruikai turned back to Gong Mengshu as he walked, "You go to eat first, I'll go find my father-"
Before Cheng Ruikai's words fell, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second young master, not only the old man is looking for you, but the old lady is also looking for Miss Gong......"
Cheng Ruikai stopped and said, "Can't you finish all the words at once?" After blaming, he asked the housekeeper: "Old housekeeper, there is no one now, can you reveal it, the old man and the old lady are looking for me and Mengshu, are they asking the same thing?"
The housekeeper smiled and said: "This little one is not clear, but I heard that the master has mentioned it, probably the matter of Miss Lu's family, I heard that the master and his wife are going to invite the troupe to perform at home——"
Cheng Ruikai frowned and said, "Is this little thing worth making a big fuss?" said and glanced at Gong Mengshu, and saw that she pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows, and said nothing. Cheng Ruikai suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, and said to the housekeeper: "You went back to my father, and said that I came back from outside, and I was not feeling well, so I went back to the room to rest first." If it's for Miss Lu's arrival, you let him make his own decisions—"
The housekeeper only agreed, and looked at Cheng Ruikai and turned his head away with a low mood. The housekeeper secretly complained in his heart, and suddenly thought of Gong Mengshu, so he hurriedly turned to Gong Mengshu and said, "Girl, the young master doesn't listen to the master's arrangement, so do you want to go to the old lady's head to reply?"
"Old butler, don't worry, I won't embarrass you, lest the old lady have something to say, I'll go!" Gong Mengshu replied a little tiredly. Cheng Ruikai could have walked away and not listened to the admonition, but the blind date between him and Miss Lu was ironclad. Since the old lady and the lady are looking for her, they must need her help to take care of the place, and she can't avoid it, unless she leaves the Cheng Mansion!
Thinking of the word "leaving", Gong Mengshu's heart seemed to have been hit by something, his heartbeat accelerated sharply, a little panicked, and a little faintly painful. This was the first time she had the idea of leaving Cheng Mansion after living in Cheng Mansion for so long, and this thought brought her infinite tremor and panic once she had come to mind.
"Then dare to be kind, girl, please go right away," the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gong Mengshu.
Gong Mengshu let out an "um" and turned around and walked towards the big wing where Mrs. Cheng lived.
Mrs. Cheng's room was lively, and when Gong Mengshu entered, the room was already full of people. In addition to Mrs. Cheng, the second lady Manzhen, the eldest and youngest grandmother Lin Xuexian, the third aunt Peng Wanru and the fourth aunt Peng Yueru, even the third lady Cheng Molin and the third young master Cheng Ruiming were also there, everyone was talking about it, and Mrs. Cheng was just so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Seeing Gong Mengshu, Mrs. Cheng's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned her to come over, and handed her a red list from the table. Gong Mengshu took the list, opened it and saw that it was indeed the program list sent to Cheng Mansion by the troupe.
Gong Mengshu's heart sank, and before he could speak, someone had already chuckled and said, "Miss Gong, you just went out with the second young master to have enough time before you were willing to come back?"
Gong Mengshu took the program list and lowered his head to look at it carefully, never raised his head and pretended not to hear the third aunt's too sneering words, but his heart was as sad as frying.
