155 True and False (24)
At that time, Zhen Shi was only eight or nine years old, and his memory may be a little blurry, but Zhang's mother clearly remembers Wang Meiyi's mean words to the extreme
"What are you? An uneducated child who grew up in a welfare home, you also deserve the surname Zhen? ”
"Come and kowtow to me, and thank me for getting you out of the stinking place like the welfare home."
"Zhen Shi, let me tell you, even if you are old, you will never be as good as your brother."
"Ah Jing, he's not your brother, don't call him brother, he's just picked up by our Zhen family from the trash can in the welfare home, and he has no blood relationship with your father or your mother."
"Why are you bullying Ah Jing again?! You don't want to live anymore, do you? Ah Jing, don't talk! No matter how you got hurt, no matter if Zhen Shi was not there when you were injured, it was all his fault! His fault! Ajing, you're right! ”
Every time he was scolded, beaten and abused by Wang Meiyi, Zhen Shi would always hide in the tree house in the back garden and cry sadly.
This small tree house was built by Zhen Qiming with him, and it was a secret garden that only he could enter - of course Zhen Jing also wanted to enter this small wooden house, but he was raised by Wang Meiyi too fat to climb a tree at all.
If Zhen Qiming is at home, Wang Meiyi will be more restrained, at most she will use a little cold violence, so that Zhen Shi feels neglected and ignored;
If Zhen Qiming is on a business trip, it will be ten days and half a month, and it will be the end of the world for Zhen Shi. Zhen Shi would rather live in a small tree house, no matter how hot the winter is, as long as he is not allowed to be under the same roof as Wang Meiyi, he can endure all kinds of weather.
During this period, if it weren't for Mama Zhang's secret food for Xiao Zhen in the middle, Zhen Shi might have been frozen to death, heat to death, and starved to death one day.
Mother Zhang is one of the few people in Zhen Shi's more than 20 years of life who makes him feel very warm and relieved when he thinks about it.
Zhen Qiming is not thin on him, but he is busy with work all the year round, and the biggest protection for him is not to allow Wang Meiyi to send him back to the welfare home, but when it comes to real care and care, only Zhang's mother is qualified to say this.
Zhen Shi has always regarded Zhang's mother as a very special family member.
He made it very clear that there was no blood relationship between them, and even to some extent the relationship between employer and employee, but there was an invisible bond between them, which bound the two of them together.
After Zhen Shi completed his studies and entered the workplace, he successively arranged Zhang's mother's three children to the jobs they liked and were good at - her two sons worked in companies under the Zhen Family Group, the eldest son was the executive president of an investment company, and the second son was stationed in a foreign branch according to his own wishes;
The youngest daughter likes to draw, so Zhen Shi funded her to set up a design studio, and cooperated with her studio for a long time through the name of the company, so that she could do what she liked without worrying about her income.
All this is a secret between Zhang's mother and Zhen Shi, and several other family members of the Zhen family don't know about it.
On this day, Zhang's mother was in the living room preparing the suit that Zhen Qiming would wear the next day, and I heard that he was going to attend the opening ceremony of the movie on Sunday, and was present as the biggest sponsor of the movie.
Zhen Qiming named to wear his favorite suit, which he has been wearing for many years, and is made for him by one of his favorite high-end tailors, and he has to wear it every time there is a major occasion, and he says that this suit will bring him good luck.
Mama Zhang saw Zhen Shi tiptoeing, she knew what he was thinking, sighed distressedly, and whispered
"Young Master, it's okay, Madame, they are all asleep, I am doing what I have to do tomorrow in advance, it's late, they won't go downstairs again."
Zhen Shi felt a little ashamed.
How unpopular does a person have to be to tiptoe like this when he goes back to his home, worrying about meeting his family?
Zhang's mother seemed to feel Zhen Shi's mood, and walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder
"Young Master, don't feel bad."
In fact, people who are accustomed to being hurt demand less for comfort.
Sometimes, just a few words can make people feel much better than a long speech.
Zhen Shi was patted lightly, reminding him of the few warm moments in his childhood.
He was no longer sad, and his eyes moved to the suit that Zhang's mother was ironing.
Zhang's mother saw him staring at the suit and said with a smile
"This is the clothes that Mr. will wear tomorrow, and they are very expensive."
Zhen Shi stepped forward and gently touched the suit jacket with his fingers, and the precious touch came from his fingertips.
This material is really expensive, and it has been maintained so well for more than ten years, and it is not old at all, it is really a god. When I ironed it just now, I was afraid that it would burn, so it took me more than half an hour just to adjust the temperature......"
Zhang's mother lowered her head on the side to sort out the ironing tools, chattering quietly, and when she raised her eyes again, she was stunned
The suit was worn on Zhen Shi's body.
In a trance, she seemed to see the first time she saw the male owner Zhen Qiming at Zhen's house.
At that time, he and his wife Wang Meiyi were still very young, talented and beautiful, standing together like a painting.
When Zhen Qiming was young, he was talented, personable, and had a melancholy temperament unique to fashionable young people in that era.
At that time, Zhen Shi happened to be in his early twenties, put on his adoptive father's clothes, and in a trance, Zhang's mother thought that she had traveled back to the past.
She couldn't help but be stunned
"The eldest young master......"
Zhen Shi saw that her expression was wrong, and said in a panic, "Mom Zhang, am I causing you trouble?" Don't worry, I was very careful when I wore it just now, it shouldn't be wrinkled, and you don't have to re-iron it. ”
Seeing that Zhang's mother was still stunned, Zhen Shi couldn't help but get worried, and shook his palm in front of her
"Mom Zhang, I won't really get into trouble, will ......? Or do you teach me to iron, and then you go to sleep and I'll iron it? ”
"The eldest young master......"
Zhen Shi honestly apologized
"I'm sorry."
Zhang's mother woke up like a dream
"No, what are you sorry for, young master, you didn't do anything wrong. Do you know what I just saw you in Mr.'s clothes? ”
"I don't know."
"It's as if I've traveled back in time to more than ten years ago! It's like seeing Mr. when he was young again. Master Da, you really ...... It looks too much like my husband. I don't usually say it, but I can't see it, because everyone knows that you are a child raised by the Zhen family, and it is natural that you don't look like it. But, now, young master, you put on your husband's clothes...... This, this is not like this, it is so similar. ”
Zhang's mother kept muttering things like "not a family, not entering a family", "a family, it turns out that it will really grow more and more alike", turning over and over like chanting a mantra.
Zhen Shi laughed at her at first, her eyes were glazed.
But then looking at Mama Zhang's serious appearance, he couldn't laugh anymore.
