Chapter 839: What to Do with Life?
The toiling masses are willing to spend the fruits of a year's hard work. For example, a few small bets, such as the purchase of New Year's goods before the end of the year. Another example is the New Year's money that you don't want to give but have to give.
In recent years, various magazines and television have frequently appeared in the argument that the Spring Festival is unaffordable. As for whether it is really great, it is up to everyone.
It's different from the toiling masses. Ling Hong and Chen Xueqin are such top daughters in China. There is no such thing as distress after irrational spending. When the Chinese New Year is over, I always have to buy a few decent clothes for the party. Even though Chen Xueqin has changed a lot, Ling Hong has rarely participated in public activities since Mai Changqing's death. But a rich lady like them. If you don't buy a few sets of clothes before the Spring Festival, it is really unreasonable.
The twenty-sixth day of the lunar month. There are only three days left before the Spring Festival. Chen Xueqin asked Ling Hong to go out shopping with great interest. The latter came as scheduled. I didn't miss the appointment.
Like Chen Xueqin, her home is also deserted. Even in the face of the Mai family's elders forced a smile. But after that false smile, it was replaced by an increasingly intense coldness and emptiness.
Feed your child. Ling Hong drove out with Chengcheng in her arms.
As usual on dates, Chen Xueqin always likes to take the initiative to be sincere. Ling Hong did not resist this. also released her motherhood by Chen Xueqin.
Compared with ordinary working women, they are more heroic and less hesitant to shop. It is more popular with salespeople.
There is a good saying that reincarnation is the most technical work in the world. In a word.
After a crazy shopping morning, the two chose an elegant Western restaurant for dinner. With the appearance and aura of these sisters, it is easy to attract some attention from the opposite sex. Especially Ling Hong, holding a baby in her arms, but she couldn't hide her graceful and plump figure at all. For some animals with different tastes, the man and the wife are king.
After Chen Xueqin sat down, she stirred the coffee with a smile, staring at Ling Hong without a glance, revealing a sense of banter.
Ling Hong snorted lightly and said, "Xiao Nizi, are you planning to laugh at me?" β
"How can you?" Chen Xueqin said with a smile. "Sister Hong, your market is so big, it's too late for me to be happy for you. How can it be a joke? β
Ling Hong chuckled and shook her head, noncommittal.
She will not remarry in this life.
On the day Mai Changqing died, she made up her mind.
After a little recuperation, he saw Chen Xueqin staring at him expectantly. couldn't help but smile: "Have something to say?" β
"Hmm." Chen Xueqin nodded slightly, bit her lip and said. "Sister Hong, how are you going to spend the Spring Festival?"
"What's going on?" A hint of discoloration flashed in Ling Hong's beautiful eyes, but she still asked as usual.
"I heard that Uncle Mai took his wife and children back to the army during the Spring Festival in previous years." Chen Xueqin plucked up her courage and said. "Sister Hong, are you going to go with you?"
Ling Hong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." May stay at home. β
"Isn't that a person?" Chen Xueqin was suddenly in high spirits.
"Don't you have children with me?" Ling Hong said.
"But that's not fun." Chen Xueqin's face was a little gloomy, and she put down the spoon and sighed softly. "My father passed away. The Chen family is also a lot deserted. In previous years, he couldn't get out of bed during the Spring Festival, but he would still accompany us for Chinese New Year's Eve after all. This time, it was just me and my brother. Alas..."
"You've at least got a company." Ling Hong comforted. "It's better than me alone, I don't even have someone to chat with."
"Otherwiseβ" Chen Xueqin asked tentatively. "Sister Hong, are you celebrating the Spring Festival with me and my brother? On the one hand, it is more lively, and on the other hand, there is also a companion. β
"Are you still afraid of not having a companion?" Ling Hong said indifferently. "After the New Year's dinner, how many parties are you going to?"
"I'm not going to these boring parties now." Chen Xueqin saw that Ling Hong did not reject her brother for mentioning, and she was overjoyed and pleaded. "Sister Hong, you just promise me. It's a big deal that I'll take care of the children for you, you can play mahjong with peace of mind, okay? β
When Ling Hong heard this, her expression became a little complicated. The spoon in his hand gently stirred the coffee for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "No." β
"Why?" Chen Xueqin hurriedly asked. "It's been so long, are you still angry with my brother?"
"Actually, you don't have to curry favor with Chen Yifei all the time." Ling Hong shook her head lightly. "There's no need for that. Some time ago, I was really angry with him, why it was not him who died, but my husband. It's been a long time, but I've figured it out. If my husband is in danger, he will not stand idly by, and if it is your brother who dies, I will do the same thing that you are doing. β
"Compare hearts to hearts. I slowly understood Changqing's mood at that time. Ling Hong smiled bitterly and said. Perhaps, this is the brotherhood between men? β
"yes." Chen Xueqin's expression looked a little lonely. In her heart, Mai Changqing has always been a character in the image of a big brother. When she is in trouble and her brother is not around, she always thinks of Mai Changqing. He died, and Chen Xueqin was just as sad and sad. Now that Ling Hong can figure it out, she is also deeply comforted. Tightening the spoon in his hand, he said with a little force. "Sister Hong, in the future, treat our Chen family as your own home. If you have any difficulties, my brother and I will do our best to help you. After all, find a few friends in this circle. It's much harder than finding a few enemies. β
Ling Hong smiled slightly, brushed the green silk in front of his forehead and said, "I won't bother you on Chinese New Year's Eve." On the first day of junior high school, I took Chengcheng to visit the New Year. Remember to seal a big red envelope for my son. β
"It's natural." Chen Xueqin smiled.
I don't know if it was because Ling Hong's heart knot was opened that made Chen Xueqin extremely excited, or if the two were a little tired after a morning of hard work. Chen Xueqin hurriedly stuffed her clothes into the car, said hello to Ling Hong, and went home.
Ling Hong waited for her car to leave, and the smile that was originally the big sister's strong taste suddenly converged. got into the car with cold eyes, and said to Mai Zhicheng, who was staring at the roof with wide eyes: "Son, on the first day of the new year, let's go to pay New Year's greetings to the enemy." Do you feel aggrieved? β
"No way. Before you do something you want to do, you always have to do something disgusting. Ling Hong tightened her collar for her son, and a soft smile appeared on her beautiful face. Wait for revenge. Mom just treats you well, okay? β
Seeing that her face was becoming more and more like her husband's son, Ling Hong's vision gradually blurred. He pursed his lips and said no more.
β¦β¦
In the study, Chen Yifei sat on a chair with a smile on his face. Even the habit of practicing calligraphy after the lunch break was given up exceptionally. Just sit in a chair in a daze.
Across from him stood a man in pitch black. In Chen Yifei's study, not many people can come in and stay for a long time. Mai Changqing counts as one, and the second in the world in front of him counts as one.
"She doesn't seem to hate me anymore." Chen Yifei smiled. His expression was a little sluggish.
"I just heard Chen Xueqin say it." The second in the world said lightly.
"She will come to Chen's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year." Chen Yifei said.
"I heard that, too." The second nod in the world.
"She'll bring the baby." Chen Yifei looked a little excited. "You say, what gift should I prepare for Chengcheng? No matter how big the red envelope is, it can't make him happy. After all, neither the Mai family nor the Ling family was short of money. As for toys, he shouldn't be short of them. But what else can I give him? β
"You're asking me?" The second in the world asked coldly.
Chen Yifei was stunned. Even though he was dumbfounded, he smiled.
Oh, yes. He's asking the second in the world. But he shouldn't have asked the second in the world.
In addition to being good at killing, the second in the world can't give Chen Yifei any advice.
Trying to recover his emotions, Chen Yifei tensed his muscles and said, "There are only a few days left." I had to conceive a gift for Makoto. Otherwise he would be unhappy. β
"He's only half a year old." The second in the world frowned slightly.
"Half a year is enough." Chen Yifei smiled a little happily. "Half a year old can play with toys and smile at people."
"You seem to have forgotten that you killed his father?" The second extreme in the world said with all his cruelty.
As soon as this statement came out. Chen Yifei's expression changed greatly.
The smile on his face was all retracted, replaced by a terrible coldness.
Chengcheng's father was killed by his own hands. He deliberately forgot about it. But he knew that that scene, the words of the man before he died, he would never forget it in his life, and he could not wash it away.
The last thing he wanted to kill was Mai Changqing. One of his most cherished friendships is Mai Changqing. His only friend is also Mai Changqing. But he knew too much. There are so many that Chen Yifei can't tolerate him.
So he's going to die.
Chen Yifei stabbed him to death with a knife. to death, Mai Changqing did not believe that he would die at the hands of his brother. But he doesn't hate. Not hateful at all. How could he hate his own brother, the only brother?
"I remember. How could I forget? Chen Yifei said in a cold tone. He was dying, and he was begging me to take him home. He's so stupid, since he wants to go home. Why leave home? How do you go back when you leave home? β
"So far, we are not completely sure that Ling Hong does not know." The second in the world reminded.
He didn't like Chen Yifei to kill Mai Changqing. Morally disliked.
But he is still on Chen Yifei's side. Whether voluntarily or not, he is Chen Yifei's subordinate. Eating the king's fortune and bearing the king's worries is the most basic moral integrity of every person who knows how to be grateful.
In his opinion, Chen Yifei's current mentality has deviated.
His vigilance was shattered in that instant. Chen Yifei in that state is extremely dangerous.
Chen Yifei listened to the second kind reminder in the world, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said meaningfully: "You mean, Ling Hong may be pretending to approach me?" β
"There are no absolutes. After all, her husband was killed by you. It's okay if I don't know, I know, she's a fierce woman until she dies. The second in the world said.
"You said, I understand." Chen Yifei's pupils contracted slightly, and he said word for word. "But I can't do anything to her just yet."
"Because you can't confirm if she knows?" The second in the world asked.
"That's just part of the reason." Chen Yifei shook his head. "She is a sincere mother. Chengcheng is still young, he can't become an orphan. I know all too well what it's like to be an orphan..."
"What ifβ"
"If she didn't have sincerity - Chen Yifei slowly stood up, glanced at the world for the second time with a bewitching gaze, and said lightly." Mai Changqing is dead, what is she doing alive? β
