Chapter 7: Eight Years of Bitterness

Two voices sounded at the same time, one doting and domineering, the other hurried and panicked.

Huo Tianyu looked sideways at He Xiuli's eyes full of displeasure, "It's just a painting, it seems that I have to ask Qin Zhong, is the Qin family so poor?" ”

"Huo Shao, don't be angry, this is not an ordinary painting, this is an heirloom of our family, and we really can't let you take it. Huo Shaoruo has other eye-catching ones, just take them. He Xiuli hurriedly smiled, she knew Huo Tianyu's status in the business world, if it wasn't a last resort, she wouldn't offend him.

But this painting must not be taken away by Qin Mengshi.

He Xiuli regrets her death now, why is she in a hurry to hang this painting out! She still thought that Qin Mengshi's little slut was really so backbone and wouldn't come back, who knows......

"You can't be deaf, it's the painting I want, I only fancy it, I want it." Qin Mengshi looked at He Xiuli stubbornly and did not retreat.

At first, Qin Mengshi just thought that this painting was familiar, but she must have never seen it at home, so she asked for it on a whim. If He Xiuli gave it to her directly, she might not like it much when she took it back. can see He Xiuli's reaction so much, Qin Mengshi is more interested, this painting must not be simple.

"If I say no, I can't." He Xiuli stared at Qin Mengshi's eyes as if they had been quenched with poison.

Qin Mengshi let go of the hand that was holding Huo Tianyu's arm, walked directly under the painting, and reached out to pick it up.

As soon as He Xiuli saw Qin Mengshi's move, she immediately went up to stop her, but was blocked by Huo Tianyu. In a hurry, He Xiuli kept glancing at Qin Mengyi, but in front of Huo Tianyu, how could Qin Mengyi do something to fight with Qin Mengshi. Therefore, Qin Mengyi not only did not help, but grabbed He Xiuli with a shyness on her face, obviously as long as the man did not want a mother.

Qin Mengshi was tall, and the painting was short, Qin Mengshi only used a little force to take the painting off. With his fingers flying, Qin Mengshi stuffed it directly into Huo Tianyu's arms, and then jumped upstairs.

Ten minutes later, Qin Mengshi came down with the box, and saw the three people downstairs like wax figures, motionless, and their posture was still the same as just now. Qin Mengshi suddenly felt in a better mood, and hummed two small songs.

"Let's go."

Huo Tianyu nodded, naturally handed the painting to Qin Mengshi, took the box in Qin Mengshi's hand with one hand, and pulled Qin Mengshi out with the other.

"You said that if I get married, should that nominal father prepare some dowry for me?"

"You're still worried about that little money, it's not profitable."

"But I don't want it, won't it be cheaper for others?"

"Then I'll help you get it."

"Forget it, I don't want to spend it when I take it, I'm dirty."

"Good, my money is for you to spend, my money is clean."

……

Listening to the flirting and scolding of the two drifting apart, Qin Mengyi's beautiful face was almost distorted, "Qin Mengshi, you wait for me!" ”

He Xiuli seemed to have just come back to her senses, and grabbed Qin Mengyi's arm tightly, "Good daughter, you will go to Huo's house early tomorrow morning, you must find a way to get that painting back, you must get it back." ”

Qin Mengyi was a little painful when she was caught, and frowned and broke away from He Xiuli's hand, "Mom, isn't it just a painting!" When I snatch Huo Shao back, I don't want to buy as much as I want! ”

"You don't understand, that's not ordinary, hey, I can't tell you that I don't understand, you just need to remember that you must take it back, otherwise our family will be finished, it's over...... I've got to talk to your dad about it. He Xiuli said incoherently, holding the handle and walking quickly upstairs.

Qin Mengyi felt inexplicable, and left this matter behind after a while.

Qin Mengshi's good mood lasted for a long time, until sitting in the restaurant, Qin Mengshi's eyes were still bent like crescent moons.

"So happy?" Huo Tianyu pushed the cut steak in front of Qin Mengshi and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Of course." Qin Mengshi took a sip of red wine, "You don't know, since I was brought here at the age of fourteen, I haven't had a day of comfort. Today is the straightest day I've had in the past eight years. ”

Qin Mengshi knew in her heart that this was all because of Huo Tianyu's support for her. Raising her wine glass, Qin Mengshi looked at Huo Tianyu and smiled, "Thank you." ”

Two elegant goblets collide together to make a crisp sound.

"Tell me about your life over the past few years."

"My bitter history of blood and tears in the past few years is really comparable to Cinderella." Qin Mengshi laughed self-deprecatingly, "From the first day I was brought back, He Xiuli's mother and daughter looked at me unpleasantly, but it is clear that they are juniors and illegitimate daughters, why am I like a ...... who asks for food?"

Qin Mengshi's intermittent narration is probably that Qin Mengyi will always cut her new skirt with scissors, even if it is a new skirt that she only has in two months. And Qin Zhong basically buys Qin Mengyi new clothes every week.

Qin Mengyi would ask someone to buy mice and small snakes, and put them in her room in the middle of the night. Once she was woken up by the cold touch on her neck, and reached out to grab it in a daze, it turned out that it was a half-meter-long snake wrapped around her neck, she was scared and ran directly to Qin Zhong's room, Qin Zhong saw seven or eight small snakes coiled in her room, and reprimanded her without asking about thirty-seven twenty-one, saying that she brought everything dirty to the house. Qin Mengshi remembered that it was the second day she came to this home.

Qin Mengyi will also take the gangsters to rob her of her meal money, Qin Mengshi doesn't remember how many steamed buns she ate in those years, she ate them almost every day at noon.

No one has ever held a parent-teacher conference for her, and Qin Mengyi is two years younger than her. The high school and junior high school are next to each other, and every time she has a parent-teacher meeting, she can see Qin Zhong smiling and hugging Qin Mengyi, coming out of Qin Mengyi's class. Fortunately, the teacher always thought she was an orphan and never felt sorry for her.

The university's admission letter was sent to her home and was thrown away by He Xiuli. If it weren't for Aunt Zhang, who picked up the garbage, and secretly picked it up for her, she wouldn't even be able to go to college.

Qin Zhong didn't give her a penny in the four years of college, and she was stubborn to ignore what he wanted, and she worked and studied to save money, so she didn't starve to death. But Qin Zhong spent money to build a building in the school, just to let Qin Mengshi skip a grade smoothly.

This year, the two of them graduated at the same time, and Qin Mengyi was held in the palm of her parents' hands to help Qin Mengyi open a studio and expand her network. And she still looks like an orphan.

All the boys who like her, whether they are tall or short, rich or not, Qin Mengyi can find a way to make them regard her as a flood beast and avoid her. So, her first kiss, the first time, was left until yesterday.

……

"My own father sold me to a fat-headed old man for a contract, but fortunately you saved me. There are many, many more, I seem to remember them all, but I don't seem to remember clearly, sometimes I really wonder if Qin Zhong is my father after all. Qin Mengshi pistled her chin, her cheeks flushed.

Qin Mengshi said to herself, not realizing that every time she said something, Huo Tianyu's eyes darkened. The big hand on his lap had been clenched into a fist, and if he had found her earlier, she wouldn't have suffered so much.

Finally noticing that Huo Tianyu was in a daze, Qin Mengshi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Huo Tianyu's eyes, "Did you listen to me?"

"I hear you." Huo Tianyu retracted his thoughts and looked at the little girl in front of him, Huo Tianyu told himself in his heart that her future happiness would be guaranteed by herself.

Huo Tianyu took a sip of wine and chuckled, "Qin Mengyi has done a good job. ”

"What?"

"She dispelled all the rotten peach blossoms around you, and made you wait for me, the true son." Speaking of this, Huo Tianyu's mood suddenly became very good.

"Shameless......" Qin Mengshi stared at Huo Tianyu, and before she finished speaking, her phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, "goblin", Qin Mengshi suddenly had an excited smile in her eyes, and hurriedly picked up the phone, her voice full of excitement, "Ranran, you are returning to China!" ”

I don't know what to say over there, the smile on Qin Mengshi's face suddenly converged, and was replaced by a full of worry.

"What? Don't worry, I'll be right here. July flowers, right, you wait for me! ”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mengshi grabbed her bag and rushed out, completely ignoring the man sitting opposite.

Huo Tianyu's "I'll send you" to his mouth can't be swallowed like that, and it's like a fish in his throat.

Yet? Chu Ran? July flowers? 7021?

Huo Tianyu secretly scolded shit, and said in his heart why he has such a good memory!

Quickly grabbed the phone and walked out of the restaurant, and with one foot on the accelerator, Huo Tianyu rushed in the direction of Qiyuehua.

Before he arrived at the door of Qiyuehua, across the street, Huo Tianyu saw Qin Mengshi crossing the road with a man dressed like a dog.

Huo Tianyu almost broke the brake with one foot, tugged on his tie impatiently, and threw the car door slammed on, ignoring the traffic police who were running towards him because of his illegal parking. Stepping on the shiny leather shoes, Huo Tianyu strode towards Qin Mengshi.
