One hundred and ninety-four, I bet five cents
At ten o'clock in the evening American time, Luo Chu had already completed today's incense-making work, and Xiao Yang kept waving at her before he walked out of the laboratory.
"Little demon, come and see, the show is about to begin." Xiao Yang said excitedly.
"What, what domestic mother-in-law drama have you been chasing recently?" Luo Chu also wondered how Xiao Yang, a mixed-race person with such a foreign style, liked soap operas?
"No, it's even better than the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama, you hurry up and come over, it's going to be broadcast live." Xiao Yang roared urgently.
Luo Chu couldn't stand his request, "Okay, I'll accompany you to watch the drama." β
"Come on, come on, the popcorn is ready for you." Xiao Yang patted the position beside him.
"How is it Bei Ruoqiu?" Luo Chu didn't know what happened to Xiao Yang recently, as if he was on a par with Bei Ruoqiu.
In order to watch Bei Ruoqiu's live broadcast, he didn't even care about domestic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, which shows how good Bei Ruoqiu's live broadcast is.
As soon as Gong Mo took off his gloves and washed his hands, he came out of the laboratory and saw the two people nested together on the sofa, and he was used to the pattern of the two of them these days.
"What are you looking at?"
"Mo, come and watch it with us." Luo Chu beckoned, and she also found that Gong Mo was actually not difficult to get along with, and there was no longer the previous indifference in front of them.
Gong Mo sat next to the two of them and looked at the title on it, "What's so good about the press conference?" β
"If you look at the protagonist again, you will know if it's good or not." Xiao Yang smiled lightly, and it happened that Bei Ruoqiu appeared with Ye Zhengxiu with a haggard face.
The two used to appear in love in front of the public, but today they obviously don't have the intimacy they had before.
Bei Ruoqiu was wearing a black windbreaker, missing the previous leaf suit, and only a little light makeup on his face.
There were a bunch of reporters sitting below, people from various media and platforms came today, and Bei Ruoqiu and Ye Zhengxiu "clicked" as soon as the flash appeared.
"What do you think Bei Ruoqiu is going to do today?" Xiao Yang was biting on potato chips on the side.
Gong Mo frowned when he heard the "click-click" sound, "You were reincarnated as a squirrel in your last life?" "He doesn't know, they are all presidents, why is there such a big difference!
Xiao Yang snorted coldly, "Yes, if I am a squirrel's fetus, then you are an ice cube cast." β
"Okay, stop arguing, goats, watch the live broadcast." Luo Chu knew that when the two of them quarreled, there was no time to stop, either you quarreled or I quarreled, and the more noisy they became, the more naΓ―ve they became.
"I'm betting five cents, this time Bei Ruoqiu wants to say that he and Ye Zhengxiu have divorced." Xiao Yang looked like a god operator.
The word divorce felt a little cold just when Luo Chu heard it, thinking that Bei Ruoqiu used such a means in order to get Ye Zhengxiu, if she wanted to divorce, would she be willing to do it?
"Will it? Once the divorce is announced in public, then it will be impossible for her to be with Ye Zhengxiu again, otherwise she will live in people's accusations for the rest of her life. β
Luo Chu knows what kind of status Ye Zhengxiu has in her heart, divorce is self-esteem for her, she is obviously a person who values self-esteem so much, will she be willing to give it up?
"I don't want to, I can't help it, whoever asked her to choose to be a public figure, everyone knows how beautiful it is to be a star, and how easy it is to make money as a star.
As long as it is a little popular, it can take a movie casually for as little as a few million, and it can range from tens of millions to make a TV series.
Everyone in front of them is called male gods and goddesses, and there are a lot of fans wherever they go, and how many people want to be stars even if they break their heads.
But the world is fair, how much praise you have to endure as much gossip as you have to endure, and how many celebrities have been forced into depression.
This line of water is deep, how can there be such a good thing, all the benefits are taken up by one person, and now when she cheats, she will not be scolded to death by her former fans.
Whether she wants it or not, there is only one way, after all, that video is not a picture, this is a real hammer, and she can't help but say no.
And the little demon, I think Bei Ruoqiu may have really cheated, Ye Zhengxiu has ignored her all the year round, this matter was completely voluntary by her, but she was unlucky to be photographed. β
Although this matter has nothing to do with her, Luo Chuchu was a little embarrassed, "You said that if Bei Ruoqiu knew that it was today's ending, what would she have done back then?" β
"Who knows? There is only one choice, whether it is right or wrong, you have to go on, little demon, if you are given a time to rewind time, do you want her to do that in the first place? β
Xiao Yang asked Luo Chu a question, if it was her, would she want to do that?
If there was no intervention of Bei Ruoqiu back then, maybe he would still be hidden in the dark, Qu Jingbo also said it.
That day, Ye Zhengxiu originally planned to propose to himself, but he was going to let go completely after attending his coming-of-age ceremony, if Ye Zhengxiu proposed to himself at that time, he would definitely agree.
After agreeing to Ye Zhengxiu, there will be no such thing as this, and if you see Qu Jingbo, you have to call him a little uncle, so the fate is really amazing.
One wrong move is wrong, and everyone doesn't know what the next step will be.
Gong Mo also waited with bated breath for Luo Chu's answer, and Luo Chu slowly spoke after pondering for a moment: "Four years ago, I might have blamed Bei Ruoqiu for doing this, but four years later, I don't think so anymore, I think I should thank her."
I want to thank her for letting me know Brother Bo's heart, I want to thank her for letting me know how good Yang Yang is, I also want to thank her for giving me the opportunity to get to know Mo, and of course, most of all, thank her for making me who I am today. β
Luo Chu is very satisfied with her current life, although she has really had a hard time in the past four years, it is simply miserable, and it is precisely because of those hardships that she has who she is today.
Sometimes we must not feel that God is unfair to you when we go through those tribulations, in fact, some people are sweet first and then bitter, and some people are bitter and then sweet.
As you pass through layers of black fog, the last thing left is a rainbow hanging in the sky after the rain.
All the hardships will become the most unforgettable memories of your life, and you will not feel so bitter when you look back.
"Count your mouth sweet." Xiao Yang said with a smile.
Here Bei Ruoqiu was already sitting with Ye Zhengxiu, and just after sitting down, everyone's gossip came from the question, and the agent hurried to maintain order at the scene.
"Everyone, be quiet, it's not time for the question session yet, please Ruoqiu speak first."
Everyone quieted down at this time, Bei Ruoqiu adjusted the microphone, stood up with red eyes and bowed to everyone.
Then she sat down slowly, "Regarding the previous news, I need to make a clarification, I'm sorry everyone, I have been hiding a fact for so long. β
Bei Ruoqiu's sentence came out and fried the pot below, making it clear that there is still a hidden secret in her matter, isn't it the hidden secret that is the favorite for the media?
"Miss Bei, what do you mean by the secret?"
"Actually, Zhengxiu and I have divorced, and the events of that night were not as unbearable as many media wrote, those were all lies made up by you looking at the pictures and talking.
I want to explain his identity, he is my brother next door, and we grew up together.
I drank a lot that night before he helped me and took me back to the house, and I slept in the guest room that night, and the nanny could testify.
As for the next day, when I left, I just habitually kissed his big brother lightly on the cheek like I used to say goodbye to my big brother when I was a child, but the angle was a problem.
As soon as this incident came out, the gossip came at me, and I knew that as a public figure, I should accept these things.
But now that these rumors have hurt my family, my friends, and even more face, I have to clarify this matter for everyone. β
"Miss Bei, you said that you and Mr. Ye have divorced, but you have only been married for more than a month, you have been in love for so many years, and you are such a loving couple every time you attend any occasion, how can you say that divorce is divorced?"
"That's right, Miss Bei, shouldn't you be making an excuse deliberately because of this incident, the person on the video who kissed you took the initiative lasted for about ten seconds, not like kissing the cheek as you said."
"Miss Bei, since today is a clarification meeting, you should always show some sincerity."
"There are so many fans who like you, what do you want those fans who support you to think? This is what you should give. β
Ye Zhengxiu, who had not spoken, spoke: "Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me say a few words, okay?" β
Ye Zhengxiu's image in everyone's hearts now is like a cuckolded image, and everyone is very sympathetic.
As soon as they heard him speak, everyone quieted down, "Mr. Ye, you say." β
"The reason why Ruoqiu and I have come to this point is largely due to me, as everyone said, we have been in love for several years before getting married.
It is supposed to be a matter of knowing the roots, so it should be more harmonious than the average couple's life, which I thought at first.
It's just that after getting married, Ruoqiu and I understood a problem, marriage is not equal to love, what is love? β
Ye Zhengxiu suddenly asked rhetorically, and the others shook their heads again and again, as if they didn't quite understand what he meant by asking.
"Love is when two people like it and then stay together." One of the reporters replied boldly.
"Yes, love is two people who sacrifice and like to be together, but what I want to say today is that love is a storm for us.
It's been a long time since I've seen her, and she'll be delighted when I send a bouquet of roses, set up a candlelit dinner, or parachute in front of her on her birthday.
What is marriage? is tea, rice, oil, salt, trivial things are mixed together, and the way the two get along is far more difficult than before.
I used to be busy with my career every day, and Ruoqiu was also busy flying around the country, and it was good to be able to see her once a month, and sometimes she was filming in remote places.
As you know, Ruoqiu has always been dedicated, and sometimes she can't meet once for months in a row for filming.
All we can rely on is phone calls or video chats, and I have to admit that these communication tools are very convenient, but at the same time, they also block a lot of things.
These things can only be discovered by us from some trivial things after we have lived together.
Ruoqiu had already put down a lot of work to stay at home with me, but I was still busy every day and didn't take enough care of her.
I don't think she and I are ready, I'm not ready to be a husband, and she's not ready to be a wife.
So I filed for divorce, hoping that she could find a man who really loved her and was willing to take care of her for the rest of her life.
We divorced secretly, after all, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it was not announced to everyone, on the one hand, for the sake of her image.
I know there are a lot of people online who are fans of the two of us and want us to be together all the time, and we don't want those fans to lose faith in love.
On the other hand, you don't want your family members to know about it, for fear that they will be angry, sad and disappointed.
Now that I'm divorced, even if Ruoqiu is with someone else again, I will smile and bless her, and I hope someone can take good care of her instead of me.
This incident was originally just our family affair, and we are sorry for the negative impact on you, and I am here to implore you that you can give us a broader space to deal with this matter.
Thank you for your concern, I believe we can handle this matter well, and I hope you will be more tolerant and pay more attention to her works, she is a good actor and has suffered a lot for filming. β
In my impression, Ye Zhengxiu had never said so many words, but today he actually said so many things for Bei Ruoqiu, and everyone was very moved.
The hearts of many women present were touched by him, looking at him like a good man, obviously suffering such a big grievance.
Not only does he not blame Bei Ruoqiu for half a word, but he also says good or bad for Bei Ruoqiu everywhere, which is simply the image of Mr. Good!
"Bang bang." Xiao Yang applauded on the side of the video, "Little demon, your ex-boyfriend is not a fuel-efficient lamp." β
Only a discerning person can see that Bei Ruoqiu was cheated in this matter, Ye Zhengxiu even did enough to divorce and sold the character of a good gentleman.
"I didn't think it before, but now I think he is the person who should enter the entertainment industry the most." Luo Chuming knew how indifferent Ye Zhengxiu was to Bei Ruoqiu in private, but he pretended to be so considerate in front of people, and sure enough, you can never see through a person in front of the camera.
"No wonder he chose Bei Ruoqiu at the beginning, but it was also, at that time, you asked for money in the Luo family and had no money, but you were controlled by Liu Qing, naturally not as rich and status as Bei Ruoqiu, and she was still an only daughter.
Now that he has got the shares he wants, he kicked Bei Ruoqiu with one kick, and now he is so considerate to Bei Ruoqiu in front of the camera, people on the Internet will scold her to death immediately.
Tsk, it's good that you came out quickly, otherwise I don't know how you died, this man is better to stay away. Xiao Yang commented so.
Gong Mo silently answered on the side: "Ye Zhengxiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you say it as if Qu Jingbo is fuel-efficient." β
"Mo, don't say that, at least Brother Bo is sincere to me, not like Ye Zhengxiu with a calculating utilitarian heart." Luo Chu looked like a calf protector, and no one could say that Qu Jingbo was bad for half a word.
Bei Ruoqiu's eyes flashed when she heard what he said, if she hadn't known what kind of person Ye Zhengxiu was, she would have been moved at the scene.
How good would it be if he really behaved like he did in front of everyone? The person he has been looking forward to is what he is now.
"Mr. Ye, is it really a misunderstanding between Miss North and that Mr. Yan?"
"Since Mr. Ye cares so much about Miss Bei, is there any chance to get back together?"
"Mr. Ye ......" Everyone rushed to ask Ye Zhengxiu's question.
Ye Zhengxiu looked at Bei Ruoqiu gently, and found that her eyes were full of tears, and her voice was gentle: "Ruoqiu is really a very good girl, but I can't bring her happiness."
Her current state is that she wants to have a warm home, and I still decided to continue to work hard, I don't want her to wait for me at home day and night.
She deserves to be treated gently, even if that person is not me, as long as she can be happy. β
Look at what he said, every word is thoughtful, how considerate he is, even divorce seems to have become a beautiful poem.
But women eat him, and there are many female reporters in the field, who are fascinated by him, and feel that he is gentle and considerate, but few people see his mask.
He clearly said the coolest and most harsh words in a gentle skin, but there were very few people who could understand it.
"Mr. Ye, is it really impossible for you and Miss Bei?"
"Well, I hope Ruoqiu can be happy, although I can't be a lover, but I hope I can be her friend in the future, and if something happens to her, I am also willing to be the first to stand in front of her."
Bei Ruoqiu's tears couldn't hold back anymore, and he didn't know whether he was moved or shocked by his words.
"Don't cry, I'm not by your side in the future, you have to take good care of yourself." Ye Zhengxiu smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and this scene was recorded by the camera again.
Bei Ruoqiu's tears not only did not stop, but flowed more, this is what she has always wanted to get!
But she never knew that she had obtained it under such circumstances, and it was not his heartfelt words.
Sure enough, his affectionate affection eased the sharp atmosphere of many reporters in the field, how could everyone break such a beautiful picture.
waited until Bei Ruoqiu's mood stabilized a little, and then she spoke: "Whether this matter is true or not, I have been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and I am also tired."
I don't want to be endlessly magnified by everyone because of a little thing, and everyone can't wait to come to me with a microscope to find shortcomings and deficiencies.
Today's press conference is dedicated to clarifying the previous scandal, but I take this opportunity to have one more thing to do. β
"Miss Bei, what else do you have to do?"
"In the past few years in the entertainment industry, I have gained a lot of lovely fans, and I am very grateful to you for supporting my work and liking me as a person.
The profession of actor is different from any other profession, and we have to live in the public eye every day.
Fans may be envious of the fact that we wear beautiful shoes, expensive clothes, and different big-name bags every day.
But you know, at most, I flew five places a day, seven or eight announcements, and we reversed day and night, and we could never look tired in front of the camera.
It doesn't matter what major blow I've been through in the last second, no matter where I've rushed from before, no matter if I've not slept for twenty-two hours.
As soon as I faced the camera and the director said that it started, I had to laugh and cry according to the script.
Some people say that since it's so hard, then you give up, aren't you just to make money? Yes, I'm here to make money, but I prefer what I love.
I love acting, I like to switch between roles constantly, I thought this career would accompany me until I grew old, and now I know I can't keep it up.
In the past, your support would be the motivation for me when I was sad, but now whenever I go online, I can see all kinds of words that abuse me.
I don't know if these people who have abused me have also said behind the screen that I like you, that you scold me, that you scold my family.
Gradually, I felt that I couldn't hold on anymore, and if I had to accept so much negative energy because of one of my likings, could I stop holding on? β
The agent on the side was already in tears, although Bei Ruoqiu had a lot of problems, she suppressed newcomers and excluded others, but acting was absolutely unambiguous.
Otherwise, she would not have gained so many fans, so many directors appreciate her, she is a very talented actor.
Along the way, she has filmed a lot of scenes and accepted a lot of tests, she was originally a delicate lady, even if she is not an actor, she has no worries about food and clothing in this life.
Persist until now because she really likes it, but this liking has come to an abrupt end now, she said that she is really tired, and the agent can believe it.
"Miss North, what do you mean by that? Aren't you filming anymore? A reporter asked.
"Yes, I would like to take this opportunity today to tell you that I am officially retiring from the entertainment industry.
From now on, you won't see me in the entertainment industry, I just want to live as an ordinary person, and I hope everyone will give me more space.
I think some of Zheng Xiu's words are very right, marriage is not the same as love, and I used to treat love as marriage.
I thought that as long as the two of us were together, they would be happy, but now I know that I was wrong, and sometimes many things are stumbling blocks that hinder marriage. β
Bei Ruoqiu cried again as she spoke, she wanted to say a lot of things, she couldn't debunk Ye Zhengxiu, a hypocrite.
Ye Zhengxiu originally thought that the hole card she said was referring to the divorce of the two, but he didn't know that she would say that she would quit the entertainment industry, which he never thought.
It seems that after some things, she has begun to change, and has become less vexatious than before, so dogskin plasters stick to herself.
The media is in an uproar, this is a big deal, isn't it a whitewashing meeting today? How did it become a farewell party now?
"Miss Bei, this is a big deal, have you thought about it? Are you really going to quit the entertainment industry? Don't you have a few contracts left? Some people chased after him and asked.
Bei Ruoqiu looked at the camera, revealing her signature smile, with tears in her eyes, "I will entrust the agent to handle the contract for me, and the compensation will also be compensated according to the order."
Everyone, didn't you always scold me on the Internet to get out of the entertainment industry? Now, as you wish, I, Bei Ruoqiu, will officially retire from the entertainment industry from today. β
Bei Ruoqiu's words surprised the media, even Ye Zhengxiu was a little confused, he was still deliberately paving the way for Bei Ruoqiu, hoping that her future acting career would not be affected.
Who knew that she would choose to quit the entertainment industry herself, and in this war of love, she lost with nothing and bruises all over her body.
So she doesn't play anymore, she doesn't want to show her best self in front of the camera every moment, now she just wants to take a good break and be an ordinary person from now on.
She wanted to marry Yannuo, because Yannuo was the best person in the world to her besides her parents, and she knew that she was now infamous.
If she wants to continue to work hard in the entertainment industry, it will only make more people hate herself, she knows what kind of family the Yan family is.
Whether it's for herself or for the sake of promise, she doesn't plan to mix up in this entertainment industry, she can also go back to Beijia to take over her family's company, she is not nowhere to go.
"That's all for today's press conference, I have said everything I want to say, please don't pay attention to everything about me in the future, I just want to be an ordinary person."
Bei Ruoqiu finally stood up and bowed deeply to everyone, the camera swept on Ye Zhengxiu's face, and found that his expression was a little stunned, which showed that he didn't know about it.
"Ahh Xiao Yang turned off the tablet, and the final ending was unexpected.
"I didn't expect her to quit the entertainment industry, did she really figure it out?"
"It is estimated that it is a lot of pressure, these days of continuous bombardment, coupled with Ye Zhengxiu's cold-bloodedness, made her completely chilled.
A divorce certificate, a sentence of withdrawal from the entertainment industry, Bei Ruoqiu lost her career and love at the same time today, and a person with such a good face as her could say such a thing to Luo Chu looked at it differently.
The corners of Luo Chu's mouth hooked up a faint smile, "Fade out of prosperity, there is nothing bad about such a day." β
"I'm thinking about a question, even if she quits the entertainment industry and gets divorced, will the Yan family accept her?" Xiao Yang asked, holding his chin.
"Who knows, in short, there is a break between me and her, everyone has their own way to go, okay, it's not too early, go home and rest, there are still many things to do tomorrow."
Luo Chu did not fall into the ground, nor did she have any sympathy, such a result was originally made by herself, and it had nothing to do with anyone.
"Go home, little Momo, see you tomorrow." Xiao Yang likes to tease Gong Mo the most, and every time he sees the indifferent expression on Gong Mo's face change, he will be very happy.
"Look for death!" Gong Mo was about to chase him out, but Xiao Yang had already pulled Luo Chu away.
In the elevator, Luo Chu poked Xiao Yang's head, "Are you born at odds with Mo, why do you always like to tease him?" β
"Because he's always had the same expression, I'm bored, and I just want to see more expressions on his face."
"You just owe your mouth and your hand." Luo Chu thought it was some other reason, but it was such a simple reason.
"Little demon, do you know who I'm going to negotiate a contract with tomorrow?" Xiao Yang suddenly straightened up.
"Who?" Luo Chu was bowing his head and texting Qu Jingbo and asked lightly.
"Company R."
"What!" Luo Chu hurriedly raised her head, she had always been curious about R, after all, it was related to her mother.
Since coming to the United States, she has called several times, all of them from her assistant, and each time she said that she would contact her, but Tina has not called back once.
Qu Jingbo had mentioned the matter of the R family to Xiao Yang when Luo Chu was in his body before, and this time there was an opportunity, and he still planned to tell Luo Chu after thinking about it again and again.
"Recently, the company is preparing to develop a piece of land, and the ownership of this land is in the hands of Company R, and we are negotiating the purchase price."
"I'll talk about it." Luo Chu hasn't been back to the headquarters for a long time, Xiao Yang takes good care of the company, and she can also be lazy.
But this matter has something to do with R, maybe she will see her mother again? Even if it was just seen from afar, she didn't dare to think about anything else.
"I knew you'd be interested, okay, you'll be in charge." Xiao Yang knew Luo Chu's heart knot.
"Hmm."
After washing up and returning to the room, Luo Chu was dragging a business card in her hand, this business card was given to her by Tina, and she had read it many times.
Every time I look at it, I feel like I can feel that my mother is by my side, obviously the two of them are in the same city, and she wants to rush up when Luo Chu passes by Company R several times.
But she knew that Tina didn't plan to see her, and even if she did, she would only be turned away, and maybe some of Tina's plans would be broken.
So she didn't dare and couldn't, so she had to stand far away, looking at the skyscraper again and again.
Putting the business card on her chest, like her mother, she whispered, "Mom, can I see you tomorrow?" β
This night she dreamed of her mother sitting by the window when she was a child, looking at the snow falling outside, and knitting a sweater for herself with her fingers.
I was playing with toys on the stall next to me, or watching cartoons, and the firelight in the fireplace was jumping, and it was peaceful.
"Xiao Chu'er, come over and try to see if it fits." Mom always weaves and beckons to herself to come over.
Xiao Luo Chu obediently stood in front of her and stretched out her hand, and her mother gestured the half-knitted sweater on herself.
"Mom, I want to wear a new sweater, how long will it take to knit it?" Xiao Luo Chu would lie on her lap and hold her cheek, and said expectantly.
"Come on, Chu'er." Every time at this time, she would touch Luo Chu's head.
"Mom......" Luo Chu opened his eyes, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, looking at the gray sky outside, it seemed that it was going to rain.
It's sweater season again, but there is no one who will knit her sweaters carefully in the cold winter.
Luo Chu stood in front of the window for a long time, what she wanted most in this life was to return to her mother's arms, which was an easy request for others, but it was extremely difficult for her.
It was still very early when she looked at her watch, and she habitually ran in the morning and met Gong Mo unexpectedly.
It's just that the two have long since lost their previous estrangement, and the two will go for a morning run together and sometimes have breakfast together.
"Mo, I want to ask you something." Luo Chu thought that Gong Mo had been in the United States for a long time, maybe he knew something about the R family.
"You say." Gong Mo took a big bite of the toast, originally he couldn't speak when he ate, Luo Chu was an exception.
"You've been in the U.S. for a long time, do you know Company R and the R family?" Luo Chu asked directly.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?" Gong Mo's eyes were deep, as if he didn't really want to mention something about the R family.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious, because I'm going to negotiate a contract with Company R today, but I don't know much about this company." Luo Chu casually made an excuse.
Gong Mo had already swallowed the toast, drank a glass of hot milk, and wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth by the way, "Speaking of this R company, this involves a mysterious Oriental family. β
"What kind of mystical method?" Luo Chu hurriedly asked.
"First of all, I don't know much, so I'll tell you what I know first, I can't guarantee whether it's true or not."
"Okay, you can say it." Luo Chu looked deaf.
Gong Mo then started again: "More than a hundred years ago, when China was still at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was a turbulent period, China had become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the society was extremely chaotic.
At that time, some qualified families immigrated to the United States and began to develop in the United States, and the R family was one of them, and there are some reasons why they are mysterious.
First of all, if you think about it, it is still in the Qing Dynasty or even pushed forward, is every family dominated by men? There are many rules that women have to follow, and they must respect men. β
Luo Chu nodded, but she didn't expect Gong Mo to start telling her a piece of history, and she had also seen the current situation in China a hundred years ago in the history books.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a turmoil in the country, and a large number of ya tablets disintegrated the will of the common people to the officials, and then other countries invaded one after another, of course, they only learned these in order to cope with the exam.
Now when I hear Gong Mo mention her, I have a faint sense of belonging, as if those things are no longer words in textbooks, but real existences not far from her.
"Yes, women still have to wrap their little feet, allow their husbands to have three wives and four concubines, and their status in the family is very low, which is also explained in many costume dramas."
Gong Mo continued: "Then can you imagine that in the context of such a feudal society at that time, there was a family that was the opposite of others, they respected women.
All the power of the head of the family is in the hands of women, not only are women in charge of the house, but the children they give birth to are also women without exception. β
This was something Luo Chu didn't know, she shook her head, "I've never heard of such a family, in that context, can it really exist?" β
"Exists, according to legend, they are an ancient family, if you want to trace it, I am afraid it must be traced back to before the Qing Dynasty, maybe the Ming Dynasty, maybe even earlier.
No one knows how many years they survived, and I don't know if there was a particular reason for giving birth to only daughters, or if they were abandoned after giving birth to men.
Anyway, the inheritors are all women, and their families are all men, so you see that even a hundred years later, the president of R Company is a woman, and she is the head of this generation of R family. β
When the head of the family was mentioned, Luo Chuchu chuckled, and Gong Mo was talking about her mother!
"Mo, this is a bit of a magical place, but what about a second point?" She continued.
"I haven't verified the second point, but I once heard a person say that the women of their family are cursed, and their life spans are shorter from generation to generation.
For example, a hundred years have passed since the late Qing Dynasty, and the grandmother of the current head of the family brought her people to the United States, and her grandmother lived to be 70 years old.
Her grandmother lived to be sixty years old, and her mother lived to be fifty years old, did you find a pattern? β
Luo Chu trembled when he heard this, "You mean that the lifespan of each generation will be shortened by ten years?" β
"Yes, it stands to reason that science and technology are becoming more and more advanced, and there are more and more elderly people, why is their family living a shorter and shorter life?
And from the perspective of time, it is also very coincidental, it is all ten years as a point, if this law is correct, there will only be ...... in this generation of family heads"
Before Gong Mo's words were finished, the hot milk that Luo Chu was holding fell on the table suddenly, the glass shattered and made a screeching sound, and the hot milk flowed down the table little by little.
Everyone around looked at the two of them, but Luo Chu was in a stunned state, if she remembered correctly, her mother was Chinese New Year's Eve nine.
The waiter hurriedly came over to clean up the cup, Gong Mo handed her a tissue and wanted her to wipe the milk on her body, Luo Chu's soul seemed to be sucked away, and he stayed motionless.
"Chu, what's wrong with you?" Gong Mo stretched out his hand and shook Luo Chu in front of her, but he still didn't notice it, he simply pinched Luo Chu.
Luo Chu woke up like a dream, but the expression on her face became panicked, and Gong Mo was also a little worried about her, what was wrong with her?
"Chu, are you okay, your face is very pale."
"Mo, I want to ask how those family heads died?" Luo Chuduo hoped that this was just a coincidence, where in the world was there such a miraculous thing?
"Died of illness, the strange thing is that no one found out what was wrong, anyway, he passed away." Gong Mo said lightly, "What does this R family have to do with you?" β
"No, it's nothing, you tell me everything else about the R family, tell me everything you know."
Luo's mood fluctuated greatly, and she clutched Gong Mo's arm tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood.
Seeing Luo Chu's appearance, Gong Mo had no choice but to tell the truth, "This is the second, and the third is that I heard that their curse is related to their family's divination skills." β
"Divination?" How did Luo Chu think that the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became.
"Well, whether in ancient times or modern times, people are popular for divination, or divination, which is called tarot cards in the West.
I heard that this R family used to be a mysterious divination family, but they only divined the emperor, such as divination for the dragon's nest, looking at feng shui, and dividing the fortune of the country.
There are also some hexagram masters who show the people the tombs and the houses, they look at the small trend, and the R family sees the national fortune, which is the general trend.
In the fortune-telling industry, there are many blind people, saying that it is because of the leakage of heavenly secrets.
I don't know if it's true or not, but the lifespan of the head of this R family is decreasing, or maybe it's because the ancestors have leaked too many heavenly secrets, causing the descendants to be retaliated against, that is, cursed. β
Luo Chu never knew that the plot that could only be seen in movies actually happened in her life, Gong Mo was a pragmatic person.
So even if he can say such fantastical words, it means that the credibility is extremely high.
There are many things in this world that can't be explained, and Luo Chu is also confused, is this thing true or false? If that's the case, Mom will turn 40 this year!
Isn't she...... Luo Chu didn't dare to think about the rest of the matter, his mind was full of questions, is this related to his mother's disbelief in himself?
"Mo, I'll go back first after I've eaten, and I'll have to negotiate a contract later."
"I'll send you." Gong Mo was a little uneasy when he saw Luo Chu who was in a trance.
