CHAPTER XXVIII
Mrs. Rong silently put the long spoon with the golden handle of stirring coffee on the coffee saucer, then grabbed the ear of the coffee cup with two fingers, slowly picked up the cup and brought it to her mouth, and took a sip gently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info her fingers were a little white and transparent, and her slender nails were neatly trimmed and undyed with dancome. There is a jade bracelet on his wrist, which glows green, and his complexion is more and more pale, and his wrists are like snow. She slowly lowered the cup, frowning slightly: "This coffee is a little cold." ”
"Then I'll change your glass." I subconsciously wanted to get up, but I regretted it when I said it. Is this a professional instinct on my part? People didn't pay attention to coffee.
Mrs. Rong smiled knowingly and stretched out her hand to stop me: "It's okay. Actually, I don't like coffee. She pushed the coffee cup farther away and turned her gaze to me, "How long has Miss Wu been here?" ”
“…… It's been four or five months. I replied.
She nodded, "I can see you like the job." Moreover, it can be seen from the attitude of your boss and colleagues towards you that you get along very well. She glanced behind me and said, "Most of the reason for their probing observation is that they care about you." Of course, there are also curiosities about me. ”
I looked at her, I really didn't know what she was trying to express, was it a greeting before getting to the point? Or do people of their class like to beat around the bush when they speak? "I'm having a great time working here." I replied quickly. Seeing that she lowered her head and began to be silent, I really couldn't hold my breath anymore, and said loudly: "Mrs. Rong, there is something I want you to say directly." You see, I'm at work right now, and I don't have that much time to spend with you. ”
Mrs. Rong raised her head and looked at me in surprise, but instead of being angry, she nodded appreciatively, and said, "It seems that the girl is still a cheerful person, very good." Then I'll call a spade a spade. She paused for a moment and said, "I'm here today to clarify your relationship with our family." I'm referring to Renjie, of course. You're already familiar with him now, aren't you? Seeing that I didn't deny it, she continued: "I heard Renjie say that you are a smart child, so at one time, I also hoped that you would be able to retreat. She said meaningfully, "But obviously, you didn't grasp my intentions. ”
I bit my lip and didn't speak.
Mrs. Rong continued: "In the last seamen's strike, your father gave his life for no reason in order to help Renjie. In this matter, as Renjie's sister, I always feel that I owe you something in my heart. ”
Her words were so lightly said that the anger in my heart "poofed" well. I just wanted to speak, but Mrs. Rong preemptively said: "So, our family has done our best to do what we can and compensate." We helped with your father's funeral and wanted to fund your education, but you refused. Because according to Renjie, you want to be self-reliant. Thereupon...... My husband helped you find your current job. ”
My eyes widened and I repeated mechanically, "Your husband helped me find ......"
"Of course." Mrs. Rong smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "I think, you have counted all these favors on Renjie's head." Miss Wu, you are still too young. A job that is right for you takes into account both the distance to work, your age and experience, and the working environment. What connections do you think can help you find such a job with a student who has not yet graduated? ”
I was speechless.
Mrs. Rong said, "There is one more thing, I'm afraid you don't know. The military policeman who wounded your father and killed him has been found by all means. He was sent to prison for other crimes, and the sentence was only five years, but it was a revenge for your father. You must know that the military police were sent by the government to carry out the crackdown, and your father was not the only one who was killed and injured on the dock, so it is really difficult for him to be sentenced for this incident. Therefore, my husband had to go through a lot of trouble. Fortunately, evil is rewarded, and finally the effort was not in vain. It is also a consolation to your father's spirit in heaven. As for the truth of this matter, Miss Wu, you can completely disbelieve my words and leave it to yourself to verify later. ”
Mrs. Rong's voice was soft and pleasant, and she spoke of it in a tone as if she were repeating a small matter that had nothing to do with her, without the slightest wave. But her words were like a thunderbolt hitting my feet on a sunny day, and I couldn't help but tremble all over. Avenging my father is something I never dare to hope for. I think of my father's unjust death, of his eyes that never closed with hatred, but what can I do? I couldn't stand up to the government, I couldn't fight the police, and I couldn't even find the killer who killed my father. But it's such a thing that I can't even think of, someone has already done it for me, and it has already been done quietly!
I don't know when, my tears have flowed unconsciously. Mrs. Rong sighed and handed over a snow-white handkerchief.
I shook my head and wiped my tears from the back of my hand, unable to tell what it was like.
"I'm not saying this to blackmail favors." Mrs. Rong continued, "I just wanted you to know two things. First, your father's death was an accident, and although it was not caused by us, it was indeed caused by a great person. So, we've been trying our best to make up for it. I think you are also a sensible child, and you should know that we no longer owe you anything in this matter. ”
Mrs. Rong's words were unforgiving, and I could not refute them at all, because it did make sense of every word. My father was injured by the military police, and from their point of view, to be able to do it to the extent that he is today is really much more than they should bear.
"As for the second point." Mrs. Rong said slowly: "If because of what happened before, you feel that Renjie is shrewd and capable, and you have admiration for him, then he can remove this halo in your eyes." He's just an ordinary kid too. With Renjie's current situation, separated from his family, he doesn't have the abilities you imagined at all. Of course, I don't mean to belittle my own brother, I'm just trying to be realistic. At what age, what kind of things to do. At this stage, all his energy is to study, and he was not required to take on responsibilities that were not appropriate for his age. Some things, when they reach a certain age, will naturally come with the growth of seniority and social experience. It's just that he really isn't now. I want you to recognize clearly, Miss Wu, I'm afraid that Renjie is not as good as you think. And on your terms......" she looked at me: "You are more beautiful than I thought, you can find one that suits you better." ”
