Chapter 159: Eagle Chick
Lying on her back on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, she was in a daze, feeling that everything was so unreal.
This is the mansion of the richest man in Lucheng and the bedroom of the heir of the Ogu Group. And she is as light as a feather, as small as dust, a nobody who can be trampled to death with one foot......
The reason why she was in a trance was not because the luxury here was comparable to a palace, and she didn't dare to compare herself to a delicate woman hidden in a golden house. She had come here with other intentions, and this intention, which could be called a thief's heart, gave rise to an incomparably heavy oppression, resting on her chest like a boulder.
She was ashamed of what she had done, she took advantage of He Chong, and she took advantage of a heart that loved her, protected her, and loved her. This behavior ruthlessly trampled on the humble and self-sustaining moral bottom line, but she also began a journey of self-destruction from the moment she made this decision.
There was a vibration under the pillow, and he took out his mobile phone to see that it was a message from He Chong.
"Did you sleep, are you still used to it?"
She replied, "Not yet." ”
If you can't reply in time after sleeping, He Chong understands that this "yet" means that he hasn't gotten used to it.
"Do you want me to come and accompany you?"
Eight ordinary words were so red-faced, she hurriedly replied: "No, you go to sleep, I'm almost going to fall asleep." ”
"Oh, good night, love you."
A false alarm.
It's not that she wasn't ready to materialize her relationship with He Chong, but she never thought about it. She is selfish, pretending to be in love with He Chong, but she is reluctant to sacrifice her chastity to make the fake show real. She has self-esteem, and she can do things against her will for revenge, but she still can't "break the boat". The huge self-denial and contradiction made the old insomnia recur, and it took more than an hour to reluctantly close his eyes.
She dreamed of that place again, of Clearwater Town. Arched bridges, canopy boats, blue sky in the water town, dark blue stone roads, a quiet and undercurrent floating era.
She saw the old man sitting outside basking in the sun, his slightly closed eyes with a sense of serenity. I also saw a group of fair girls, all of them with flowers and faces, giggling and walking towards an old mansion. She hurriedly caught up, but the door of the old mansion creaked shut, and a pair of copper rings shook a few times and quieted down. So she leaned against the door and listened closely, and there was a not-so-loud knock in the house, as if something was being processed with a delicate and compact tool......
Yes, it's gold ornaments, and those girls are apprentices of goldsmiths in Qingshui Town, known as the "Twelve Golden Flowers".
Her face against the door suddenly tickled, like someone was scratching, and she opened her eyes.
"Ahh
She sat up screaming, shocked by the sight of Xin Mu sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank face, a hand gently caressing her cheek, eerie as a ghost.
She subconsciously grabbed the quilt and lifted it to her chin, her body trembling like a sieve.
"Ah...... Aunt. ”
Her voice was out of tune, and she beckoned and stepped back, eventually standing down from the other end of the bed.
Xin Mu put the two pillows together, leaned his back slowly, hugged the back of his head with both hands, and his eyes shone with a daunting light.
"The bed is made of pine, with soundproofing linen, horsetail and wool in the mattress, handcrafted by 10 top artisans for 450 hours. At that time, I spent 130,000 yuan when I bought it, not in yuan, but in euros...... How's that, comfortable, right? ”
Her tone was extremely arrogant, and even though she was lying on the bed, that condescending aura still pushed Chiba into a corner.
"Comfortable, comfortable......"
Xin Mu touched the futon again, and made a smack sound in his mouth: "Tut, the global limited edition of 100 sets really feels extraordinary, much better than my side." She lifted the sheet and pointed the golden hem against Chiba, "These are gold threads, 24K, which are said to bring courage and strength, as well as a calming effect, so that those who sleep on them feel positive emotions and stable protection." Do you feel it? ”
"I ...... I don't understand any of that. ”
Xin Mu will be thrown singlely, clapping his hands.
"Oh forgot, you're not the daughter of a rich family, so naturally you don't know this. But I know a lot about gold, and I like it very much, as if I have an inseparable love affair with it. She held up her hand, which was indeed adorned with three gold rings of different shapes, "but platinum and diamonds can't get into my eyes, those things are expensive but have no background, and they are only for the nouveau riche to decorate." ”
"What the hell are you trying to tell me?"
"It's nothing, just talk about it, don't be nervous. You are now He Chong's girlfriend, and if you have a good relationship, you can have a good relationship with him, and indirectly you can have a good relationship with my husband. You know, I'm not his real mother, and the relationship is very delicate. ”
"You are serious, He Chong has always respected you very much, and mentioning you in front of me is full of praise, only he thinks about how to have a good relationship with you......"
"What about you, do you want to have a good relationship with me too?"
"When, of course."
"It's a good wish, but it's not easy to do...... Help me up. Xin Mupi looked at her with a smile and stretched out an arm.
Chiba didn't hesitate, he stepped forward to help her up, and when he touched her hand, it felt like he had touched a snake.
"I heard that as soon as you moved in, He Zhanting made the idea of requisitioning Ina's room?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, when my uncle said that casually, He Chong refused as soon as possible."
He didn't dare. Although Ina has no status at home, as long as I'm still a mother, I can't allow her to be wronged. ”
Xin Mu sat down on a couch, crossed Erlang's legs, and lit a cigarette. Seeing Chiba's cramped expression, she raised her hand and waved it lightly, and ordered, "Sit down, let's have a good chat." ”
The sheets woven of linen and real gold were not comfortable at all, and at this moment, she finally understood what it meant to sit on pins and needles.
"You're not like a vain girl, who doesn't seem to have much interest in money. Tell me, why did you get along with He Chong? ”
Chiba's face was blue and white for a while.
"He was kind and warm-hearted, and he was very good to me." She lowered her head and rubbed the edge of her pajamas, constantly searching her mind for all the words that could describe He Chong without being pretentious, "often help me tolerate me, and there is no shelf." He is also handsome, tall and mighty, and he feels very safe with him......"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Xin Mu shook his fingers and closed his eyes slightly, "I didn't ask you what advantages he has, as He Zhanting's son, even if he is a mentally retarded and imbecile ugly monster, there are still women chasing after him." What I want to know is, by what means did you use to capture him? And what is the purpose? ”
"I, I didn't play tricks, I really like him, and he really likes me." Chiba said with a red face, her voice getting quieter and quieter.
Xin Mu's disapproving smile seemed to have penetrated everything.
"It seems that Young Master He has moved his true feelings, and his conditions have been reduced a lot."
"My condition is that I am not worthy of him, one in heaven and one on the ground, but he does not dislike it, and tells me again and again not to be inferior. That's why I was so moved that I decided to pluck up the courage to be with him. ”
Xin Mu's eyebrows were high, as if he had heard an empty declaration, and then he applauded and ridiculed: "Yugong moves mountains, Jingwei reclaims the sea, and he is full of blood." However, a pheasant is always a pheasant, and if you want to become a phoenix, it is best to use your brain and think about how to gain a foothold in this family. ”
"I don't understand."
"I'll understand it slowly, figure it out for yourself." Xin Mu said and walked out, and suddenly turned around, "Don't go into the wrong room again, take care of your curiosity." ”
She slammed the door shut, and the sound of her heels in the hallway became stronger.
Chiba leaned against the door and exhaled heavily, her scalp tingling.
The snake-like woman did not want to hide her hostile attitude, which made her uneasy. Did Xin Mu draw a line with He Chong because of family disputes and turned his anger on her, or did he know her purpose and guard against her actions? And why do you mention gold jewelry? Is it a coincidence or a deliberate, a casual conversation or a temptation?
She didn't know.
Words with unpredictable meanings twisted into a mess in her mind, and she wished that a sharp sword could split this mess at the head.
Brave, bravery is a sword, and she quickly perked up. It's useless to be afraid, and it's even more difficult to move with timidity, in front of He Zhanting and Xin Mu, she has to be brave and resourceful in addition to gritting her teeth.
She checked the door again and again, and only went to bed after making sure that it was locked, but kept her eyes open until dawn.
The dishes prepared for breakfast were very hearty, but the atmosphere was not quite right.
Xin Mu hadn't looked at her since she sat down, and she ignored He Chong.
Indeed, as He Chong said, although she separated from He Zhanting, it was only for He Yina's grievances, and symbolically divided the measurable real estate - she is still the unique hostess of this mansion.
"I've eaten it, you can use it slowly." Chiba only took a sip of porridge and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
He Zhanting and Xin Mu didn't respond, and they didn't even look at her. She felt like a completely transparent person.
"I've eaten well and gone to work." Seeing this, He Chong helped her out of the siege and got up from the seat, "Chiba, go." ”
Just as he was about to leave with He Chong, He Zhanting spoke.
"You go to your class, what is she doing with her?" He put the bowl down and chirped, pressing the napkin against the corner of his mouth.
"I happen to have something to go out too." Chiba is only submissive.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Find a job."
At this time, Xin Mu raised his head and looked at her in confusion, and then let out a sneer.
He Chong hurriedly pulled the placket of her clothes and shook his head slightly.
"You don't need to raise this family, just stay in the house." He Zhanting walked towards the study on crutches as he spoke, and Qin Luo hurriedly reported the morning report of the day.
"You're at home, I'll be back early." He Chong instructed, his eyes revealing deep meaning.
She regretted moving in a little.
Qin Luo handed the newspaper to He Zhanting, and was about to help him upstairs, but was stopped by Xin Mu.
"Old Qin ......"
"Ah, ma'am." He trotted all the way over, and listened with his head bowed.
"Miss Yang is not familiar with the family when she first arrives, so I will introduce to her what pastimes she has."
Chiba hurriedly said politely: "No need Auntie, don't bother." ”
"Huh." Xin Mu raised his hand and said with something in his words, "If you don't have some fun, you can't let you wander around the house." ”
She knew what she meant, speechless.
Xin Mu glanced at Qin Luo, and Qin Luo introduced like a few treasures: "Miss Yang, you're welcome, there are still some items in the house that can be used for recreation, please feel free." There is a tennis court on the west side, so you can ask a family member to play with you. On one side of the court is the gym, there are bowling, billiards and sauna halls, and a special spa, if you think they are not skilled, I can also help you call from the outside. On the south side is the heated swimming pool, which is the most used place in our house, because Mrs. likes to swim, and so does Miss. When he talked about Heina, he tentatively looked at Xin Mu and found that there was nothing unusual, so he continued to introduce it, "You can ride horses in the north courtyard, and the master just came back from Argentina with a Farabela, which is not big and just suitable for you." And ......"
He gushed endlessly, and Chiba was already ringing in his ears.
"Don't bother, I'll just read books and surf the Internet in the house."
Xin Mu suddenly patted his head and said sharply sarcastically: "Look at my memory, how can I forget, Miss Yang is from a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs, and she is naturally not interested in these boring pastimes of people in the city." Right, Miss Yang? ”
Qin Luo watched as Chiba's face gradually turned red, noncommittal.
