Chapter II
As soon as Liu Jingui finished speaking, he felt that Sister-in-law Luo's eyes looked at him more fiercely, and his voice would become louder as soon as he was excited, just listening to the old man ask Gu Xinran, thinking that the opportunity had come, he was proud for a moment and forgot Sister-in-law Luo's warning, and now the eyes of the people in the entire living room looked at him a little unkindly.
Liu Jingui shrank his neck and quietly raised his eyes, just in front of the old man's eyes, which frightened him.
Old Man Rong knocked on the ground with a cane, and said in a deep voice: "Two hundred thousand, people stay, you can go, from today on, she has nothing to do with you, boss, write a check." ”
Rong Zhentian bowed his head and answered, took out the check book from his jacket pocket, signed it cleanly, and handed it to the servant standing aside, who took it and walked up to Liu Jingui and handed him the check.
Liu Jingui rubbed his hands, hunched over and took the check from the servant, not caring at all about the contemptuous smiles on the faces of the people around him, "Don't worry, master, from now on, I will treat this daughter as if I have never given birth to this daughter." "I wasn't born anyway.
Old Man Rong nodded and said, "Take the money and leave." ”
"Yes, yes, the little one is leaving, you're busy. Liu Jingui turned around and opened the door and walked out, Gu Xinran stood in a daze for a while, and couldn't help but go out with him, Sister-in-law Luo looked at Old Man Rong, and saw that the old man didn't react, so she went with her.
Liu Jingui walked halfway only to find that Gu Xinran had been following him, he was immersed in the joy of a windfall from heaven at the moment, and it was rare to look kind to Gu Xinran, after all, he had just "sold" others, and it was inevitable that he was a little weak-hearted, "Xiao Ran, you also know the situation of our family, in the future, your younger brother will need money to go to school and study, and you may already know some things, you are not my biological child, it is not easy for me to raise you so big, the Rong family is a big family, you will not suffer here." ”
Gu Xinran lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, so he only asked him in a low voice: "Dad, don't you want me......?"
Liu Jingui frowned, "Don't call me dad, the two of us have nothing to do with each other from now on, when I first picked you up, there was a note on your body with your name written on it, your surname is Gu, your name is Gu Xinran, I haven't changed it for you, if you have a chance in the future, find your biological father and mother, I'm leaving, don't follow me anymore." ”
Gu Xinran moved her mouth, wanting to open her mouth to stop him, but found that she couldn't make any sound, what else could she say? She had nothing to do with this person at all, he just said that her surname was Gu, not Liu.
She stood outside the door for a long time, until Sister-in-law Luo saw that she had not come back for a long time and came out to look for her, only to see her standing alone in the middle of the road, looking like she didn't know where to go.
Sister-in-law Luo sighed, she had seen this girl before, four or five years old, but she was already more sensible than the teenage children in the village, she had a pair of big black eyes since she was a child, but there was never innocence and liveliness in those eyes, she seemed to know that she was an outsider, her eyes were full of fear and anxiety about the unknown fate, afraid of being abandoned, so she tried to prove that she was a useful person.
If you don't grow half a broom high, you already know how to sweep the floor, and if you can't wash your clothes, you wipe the table with a rag......
Sister-in-law Luo has always known that this girl is very well-behaved and pitiful, this time the master asked her to go back to the countryside to find a suitable girl to come back to serve the eldest young master, and she remembered Gu Xinran.
God seems to be particularly fond of torturing those who are already unfortunate, as if he is afraid that they will not live a miserable enough life, and he will have to torture them as much as he can.
Sister-in-law Luo looked up at the room on the third floor with the curtains drawn, and there was Rong Ze, the eldest young master of the grandchildren of the Rong family, who was disfigured and broke his leg due to a car accident.
Rong Ze was originally an arrogant and domineering character, he was petted by Lin Mei in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and he never encountered anything unpleasant since he was a child, but now he suddenly suffered such a blow, and the whole person became very violent, it has been more than a month since he came back from the hospital, and he lost his temper and threw things in the room almost every day, and the servants at home were basically injured by him, and now no one wants to serve him anymore.
Old Man Rong still felt sorry for this grandson in his heart, so he took him to his side after he was discharged from the hospital, ate and drank well every day, and tried to find a kind and sensible girl for him from the countryside, just to take good care of this grandson.
Sister-in-law Luo sighed at Gu Xinran's thin back, walked up to her and said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”
Gu Xinran nodded, obediently followed behind her, she had already figured it out at this time, she didn't have the right to make her own choice since she was a child, she lived for eighteen years, but she was just thrown from one place to another, since she was powerless to resist, she could only accept her fate first.
It was getting dark, it looked like it was going to rain, and the sticky humidity in the air was overwhelming. Gu Xinran looked up at the tall villa in front of him, which was more like a depressing prison than a place to live.
As soon as Gu Xinran entered the door, she saw Lin Mei standing in the center of the hall, looking at her with a frown, "I don't care who you were before, what kind of life you lived, since the old man let you enter the Rong family, then you are a member of the Rong family, and your task in the future is to take care of Xiao Ze, follow him in everything, don't make him angry, do you hear?"
Gu Xinran nodded.
Lin Mei suddenly raised her voice, "Speak!
Gu Xinran was taken aback by her, and hurriedly said, "Know...... Got it. ”
Lin Mei: "Sister-in-law Luo, take her to change her clothes, dress like this, my eyes hurt!"
"Yes, Madame. Sister-in-law Luo pulled Gu Xinran, took her to the second floor, and picked out a set of old clothes from the wardrobe and gave it to her, "Let's change it first, it may be a little big, the family is busy during this time, I'm afraid it's too late to make clothes for you for a while, let's wear it first." ”
Gu Xinran nodded, silently walked to the bathroom and changed her clothes, Sister-in-law Luo couldn't help but sigh when she saw her come out, stepped forward to cut her collar, and said softly: "The Rong family has a big business and many rules, during this time, the eldest young master and the eldest lady will live here to take care of Young Master Ze, you have to be careful when you talk and do things, the eldest lady is usually strict, you don't appear in front of her if you are fine, Young Master Ze...... Something happened, your temper is not very good, you should be careful yourself. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Thank you, no matter what you say, it's also the person I found, if something really happens, I can't escape. ”
Next, Sister-in-law Luo introduced all the people who live in this house to Gu Xinran: Old Man Rong gave birth to three sons, in addition to the eldest Rong Zhentian, there are also the second Rong Zhenyu and the third Rong Zhenyun, and the three sons have several properties outside, and they almost don't come back to live for a long time except for the Chinese New Year. This time Rong Ze had an accident, and the old man called everyone back.
The second Rong Zhenyu has two children, the son is called Rong Yi, the third young master, the daughter is called Rong Fei, the fourth lady, the third Rong Zhenyun divorced in his early years, and has never been married and has no children since then. The eldest lady has always regarded herself very highly, and she is not very close to the other two families, and it is rare to meet each other, and there are many other side relatives.
Gu Xinran felt a little strange after hearing this: "What about the second young master?"
Sister-in-law Luo was silent for a moment before she said, "You will know in the future, in the Rong family, don't mention the second young master, you just don't know." ”
Gu Xinran nodded as if he didn't understand, thinking about the few TV series he had watched, and felt that the original TV series were not all deceptive, and the world of rich people was really complicated.
The two changed their clothes and went downstairs, and everyone was already sitting in the dining room ready to eat.
The dining room is separated from the living room on the left, and the doorway is covered by a beaded curtain.
For the first time in her life, Gu Xinran saw so many people sitting together to eat, and more than 20 people were sitting on both sides of a long table, filled with all kinds of dishes she had never seen before, a scene she had only seen on a small TV in a supermarket.
Sister-in-law Luo went downstairs to the kitchen, and Gu Xinran stood alone in the dining room, not knowing what to do.
Lin Mei felt bored when she saw her cowering appearance, "What are you doing there, why don't you go to the kitchen and bring the food to Xiao Ze?"
Gu Xinran answered "yes" and trotted into the kitchen, Sister-in-law Luo handed her a tray with a few delicate dishes and a cup of soup on it, and she could smell a fragrance through the lid.
Gu Xinran swallowed her saliva without a breath, and under the instructions of Sister-in-law Luo, she carefully walked to the door of the leftmost room on the third floor with the tray.
Gu Xinran knocked on the door, waited for a while and didn't hear any sound from inside, and when he opened the door, he saw that the room was pitch black, making it impossible to tell whether there was someone inside.
"Yes...... Is anyone there? I ...... I'm here to deliver the food......"
Gu Xinran's words were not finished, only to hear the sound of "pop", the room suddenly lit up, so frightened that she was immediately silenced, and when her eyes adjusted to the sudden light, she first saw a person who was wrapped in gauze and only had only one pair of eyes left, staring at her half-sitting on the bed, the eyes were dark and dull, revealing a frightening cold feeling, Gu Xinran was slightly trembling by him, and her hands were soft and almost dropped the tray on the ground.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and there were some glass shards scattered on the floor, and the whole room looked like a mess.
Gu Xinran carefully avoided the glass on the ground, walked to the lying person, and whispered, "Ze...... Young Master Ze, should you ...... It's time to eat. ”
As soon as she put the tray on the bedside table, before she could take her hand back, she saw Rong Ze reach out and overturn the tray, and a full cup of soup was poured on Gu Xinran's hands and feet, which made her hands and feet red in an instant.
Gu Xinran screamed, instinctively took a few steps back, but still couldn't dodge, blisters immediately appeared on his hands and feet, and he squatted on the ground in pain with his hands in his hands.
Rong Ze seemed to be still angry, and threw all the things that could be picked up on the bed table to Gu Xinran, fortunately, he had almost smashed everything in the past few days, and in the end there was nothing left to throw away, so he could only slap the bed while making a rough and fuzzy sound from his mouth like a crazy madman, "Get out——!
Gu Xinran squatted aside, she was so frightened by him that she didn't dare to come out, she was so frightened this day that she was so frightened that when she looked at Rong Ze like this now, her heart was numb, she only squatted on the side, not crying or making a sound.
The people downstairs were all eating quietly, and suddenly heard a huge movement from upstairs, they had been accustomed to all kinds of movements made by Rong Ze in the past few days, but they didn't show any hurry, only Lin Mei stood up and walked upstairs as soon as she heard the sound.
Old Man Rong was still eating unhurriedly, and only turned his head to look at Sister-in-law Luo, who understood, turned around and followed Lin Mei up.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Rong Ze's room, Lin Mei saw that Rong Ze was slapping the bed hard, leaning in the direction of Gu Xinran, there were overturned meals everywhere on the bed, and the damn woman was just squatting aside without any reaction!
Lin Mei walked to the other side of the bed, held Rong Ze's hand, and coaxed him softly, "Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze, you are good, don't be so excited, if you are unhappy, you tell your mother, ah, be good, don't be angry, the doctor said that you have just been discharged from the hospital, you must not be angry." He glanced at Gu Xinran and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze!
