Ji Rongke's thirteen red faces
The reeds outside Huaxi Women's Prison have been dry for three years.
The sun sets, pouring rain, snowstorms, spring breeze and willows.
No matter what the season, it is desolate and withered at a glance.
In the past three years, not a single grass has grown, not a single flower has not bloomed, there has never been a major drought in South China, the rain is abundant, the climate is humid, and the terrain is very low, and no one will go down to trample on the injury, and it can still die in such a situation, which has become a miracle.
The huge field that could not be seen at a glance was now left with dried seedlings, lying on their stomachs in the mud puddle, looking lazy that they could not hold up the wall.
The prison guards said that it may have been soaked in alkali or acid by the nearby river, and the corrosion did not last long, in short, this originally very inhospitable soil has become a forgotten corner of the whole city after the snow has been worse.
Feng Jin and a group of female prisoners squatted at the entrance of the courtyard, packing a batch of goods, three of her ten fingertips were tied with tape, her little finger was already a little bent under the accumulated work, the prison was cold and warm in winter, and it was very wet in summer, she was only 30 years old, and she often had back pain because of bad weather, and her joints seemed to be injected with ice, and the pain was so cold.
She packed the last one in her hand and threw it into the box, she rubbed her soreness knees for a moment, got up from her position, found the prison guard to check the results of the work, and then returned to the room to rest early.
She sat on her bed, staring at the mirror and wooden comb placed next to the pillow, Ji Rongke would send a new one every year, but the style was the same, and even the color was exactly the same, he knew that Feng Jin was in love with the old, and he himself was not willing to change it, even if it was changed, it would be exactly the same.
Her little cabinet had accumulated countless of the same things, everything, and he thought of everything, even if she didn't need it, he would never miss it.
She doesn't know how much she threw away during the period, every year she sends in batches of new ones, where can she still put it, when she throws it, she feels like she has been poked a hole, and she feels that what she throws away is not the same item, but the youth that she can never find back after she dies.
The clear and translucent mirror reflected her slightly pale face at this time, she had wrinkles, the corners of her eyes and lips, and a hint of shallowness on her forehead, which would climb up when she smiled, but fortunately, Feng Jin didn't like to laugh in the first place, so she rarely saw it.
But she knew that her best years were all shattered silently within this iron wall.
The bracket under the mirror is gold and copper, inlaid with dark red gemstones, a phoenix flies on it, the dragon is staggered at the bottom, with a peony flower in her mouth, embroidered with the word red face on one side, she stared at the vigorous and upright handwriting, she knew that this mirror is difficult to find in the world, it must be Ji Rongke looking for someone to customize, that red face is his word, Phoenix is the most beautiful and fastest flying bird, her surname is Feng, is the homonym of phoenix, Ji Rongke wants to tell her, even if the white horse is red and easy to grow old, she is still the peony with a bright crown in his eyes, He was still willing to take her in his mouth.
Feng Jin's fingers trembled and touched the mirror, she looked at herself returning from the glass, she didn't know how old she would become in another seven years, and such an ugly self, would he feel disgusted at a glance.
On the day of the beginning of spring, the auction of the He Mansion was held in the auction hall outside the court, and due to the determination to win, Ji Rongke did not entrust others to attend on his behalf, but personally arrived at the auction site with He Yichi.
Almost all of the auction items exhibited by the court are held by He Gui Ancestral Hall, which was searched from the secret compartment of the study and basement when the house was seized not long ago, except for the house, only those famous antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade and gold are worth several hundred million, and almost all the treasures in the world are readily available, so that countless businessmen present are amazed, and they are also shocked that He Gui Ancestral Hall has been in politics for most of his life, and he has turned his house into a treasure house.
Ji Rongke was not interested in everything before, he also had those that he had, not even worse than He Gui Ancestral Hall, his only purpose was only in the finale of He Mansion, he promised He Run, he must hand over the ownership of He Mansion to her intact, and he will do what he promised at all costs.
He has owed too much in his life, this woman is very stubborn and stupid, he can think that she will not be happy in the second half of her life, it is difficult for her to open her heart to accept men other than him, and a woman without a husband has no home, her life is stumbling, there are cliffs and thorns everywhere, no one helps her to cut and kill, and no one allows her to blue sea and blue sky.
But He Run is like this, she has a tendon in her head that is more stubborn than Feng Jin, and she won't look back when she hits the south wall.
The special host of the auction is the first fast mouth in South China, in her early forties, very dignified in appearance, she has been working behind the scenes from the TV station for many years, and she is about to feel tired, and she quit to take over major activities in the province, and she is also half a celebrity, and she is very prestigious in the business field. When she turned around on the stage, she inadvertently saw Ji Rongke, who was sitting in the first row of VIP seats but was always silent, he never raised his card, and he rarely even looked up at the auction table, as if he ignored everything and was completely an outsider.
This auction is coming to an end, the final highlight is about to be staged, the host wants to liven up the atmosphere, so naturally hit Ji Rongke's thoughts, she asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Ji here to watch the show today?" You didn't move the whole time, so you don't think I can't see it. ”
The upper class in South China all know that Ji Rongke's father-in-law is He Guici, that is, the owner of all the items in this auction, considering He Run's safety, the divorce has always been hidden from the outside world, so everyone still thinks that Ji Rongke has never gotten rid of the identity of the He family's son-in-law, even if the He family falls, this identity will hang for a lifetime.
Everyone knows very well that the source of these things in the He Gui Temple is not pure, and the solemn and heavy law is desecrated, and the unpredictable battle between Ji Rongke and him finally ended with him plundering two businesses under the name of the He family and assigning his mistress and wife to completely overthrow the He family.
Such an inextricably linked delicate relationship makes everyone curious and stunned, not only these, but also Ji Rongke's ability to use women's wrists, and can make these women understand each other and still cooperate with him before and after the saddle, and even ruined his own family and his own life, which makes many men who are unhappy in love secretly blush.
So the calm that the auction has been running through was suddenly broken at this pass, and everyone focused on Ji Rongke, wanting to see how he skillfully responded to deal with the past, and Ji Rongke obviously didn't care about any reputation, he had seen a lot of winds and waves, and no matter how tricky people were, he had also faced it, not to mention that it was an occasion to see money to determine the outcome of the game, he didn't care about it, he only smiled at it, and said very bluntly, "I want He Zhai." ”
The host was stunned for a second without concealing his thoughts, "Mr. Ji is fully capable of getting all the auction items today, isn't this the best comfort for Mr. He in prison?" Presumably Mrs. Ji is also very happy, but you don't seem to have this idea, is there anything we don't know? ”
Ji Rongke turned her head to look at the last lady of etiquette, she walked up from the backstage with a red plate, stood next to the host and lifted the black cloth covering the plate, revealing the model of the He house, she bowed and signaled, and then returned to the same way to step down, Ji Rongke then moved his gaze back to the host's face, "Is there a difference." The foundation of all things is sunshine, and the foundation of people is food and housing, I will bring the foundation back, and call her Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Wang, shouldn't they all think that this is the way of a generous man? Those antique jades, which one is more valuable than the He Mansion. ”
The host was stunned, and there were laughter and applause in the crowd below, applauding and exclaiming for Ji Rongke's wealth, everyone echoed within three seconds, and the host immediately laughed, "Mr. Ji is wise-minded, and I will ask you more if I have time another day." ”
Ji Rongke put away the smile on his face, he picked up the auction card, looked at the model, and said in a calm and gentle tone, "But I don't have time to advise." ”
For this set of houses, interested people abound, and there are not a few who can afford the money, but there are almost no people who rush out to fight against Ji Rongke, not because they don't want to, but most of them are quite jealous of his power and prestige, and some people continue to chase the price in the first three rounds, and in the fourth round, there are only two or three who still hold on, and in the end, Ji Rongke auctioned the He house for 130 million without any suspense, becoming the last holder, and it is also the highest price item in the entire auction.
After the auction, Ji Rongke walked backstage to sign the documents, He Yichi waited outside the door, when he came out, a large number of reporters flocked to him, and quickly blocked the exit, He Yichi and the bodyguards tried their best to block it, it was still difficult to find a way out, several reporters rushed out of the encirclement and ran to the closest place to Ji Rongke, handed the microphone to his lips, and struggled hard to resist the other reporters behind him who wanted to replace him.
"Mr. Ji, can we interview you with some questions, someone saw that you took Mrs. Ji back to Picheng and appeared in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Mrs. Ji does not live in your manor at present, is there a change in your marriage?"
The reporter's question was like a needle in the sea, and all the noise and crowding were suddenly repulsed, and they were silent for a moment, and they all looked at Ji Rongke, who didn't seem to have grasped this blockbuster news, and were curious about its fiction and reality.
Ji Rongke did not avoid it coldly, he knew that there was no need to avoid, many things would always come to light one day, he didn't want to wait until Feng Jin was released from prison six years later, but he had to endure the infamy of being accused of sabotaging his marriage by his side, he wanted to clean everything up, let her live a quiet life after she came out, live the best life, be free without being disturbed, let her like and hate, let her be presumptuous and laugh.
He did not deny it, saying, "I and Ms. He Run, both in the initial union and in the relationship, are mutual consensual, and it cannot be said that there are no commercial interests at all, but I am an unrestrained and very arrogant person, and everyone knows very well that I will not bet on what I want to do with my marriage, not to mention that this also involves the life of an innocent girl, of course I will be cautious." Every marriage has a certain reason for whether it continues or comes to an end, and this reason does not have to be humane to outsiders, and I hope everyone can respect it. ”
The reporter persevered and put the microphone closer to his lips, "Mr. Ji, can you tell He Zhai if he will give you Mrs. Ji's parting gift?" ”
Seeing that Ji Rongke was silent, He Yichi raised his arm and pushed away the microphone, "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to answer in private matters, Mr. Ji is not an entertainment star, he is a businessman, and he doesn't want to expose his life status too much." ”
The reporter was pushed to the back by other reporters who were struggling to crowd behind him, and someone shouted in the noisy crowd, "Is the woman Mr. Ji loves so much your wife or Miss Feng, who is rumored to be in prison for you?" ”
The Miss Feng in the mouth of the world is Ji Rongke's only fragility and unspeakable pain over the years.
He almost never mentions it in front of the public, and no one dares to ask, he says little in private, there was a period of time, which lasted for about two years, Feng Jin, everything related to her, seemed to disappear out of thin air, never intervened in his life and years, and tacitly never mentioned it, if it weren't for Yiyi, he probably wouldn't really mention it.
It's not that he forgets, but he doesn't want to, what's the point of talking about it, he just wants to wait until she stands in front of him, to show the world, how he will treat the woman who has tasted the extreme pain in the world for him, no matter how beautiful the promises and oaths are, they are not just as miserable as they are defeated by reality, and what has never been said, but uses its powerful power to show the world what is stable happiness.
After so many years, He Yichi still didn't dare to mention her for no reason, let alone a stranger who had never known her life, everyone thought that Ji Rongke was annoyed by this question, so they scattered around, leaving the reporter who asked the question, and watched the development of the situation as if they were isolated.
But Ji Rongke was unexpectedly not annoyed, he squinted at the bustling neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the venue was full of people, every winner of the auction was surrounded by a group, all parties congratulated endlessly, as if it had become a place of human communication, Ji Rongke was silent for a long time in this colorful noise and constantly changing communication space, and suddenly said emotionally, "The one I love deeply has always been that woman." ”
