Chapter 31: Anger

Although the tabloid news did not name names, anyone can guess who the divorced new poet is and who the divorced talented woman is, Shen Mengxi and Wang Shouqing are simply about to come out.

In the next few days, other newspapers began to mention the matter implicitly, starting a big discussion about love and ethics, and for a time the four of them became popular figures, the past was picked up, and even the recent situation was exposed, and reporters surrounded the gate of Guanghua University and the French Concession.

At the beginning of the divorce, Shen Mengxi was not in China, and he didn't know that there were nearly 100 newspapers and periodicals in Shanghai, and they were all discussing the first case of the Republic of China.

It turns out that experience has little to do with age. I haven't experienced a bad thing, and I still can't adapt to it when I hit my head violently.

One night, she was woken up by Helen in a nightmare, and when she woke up, covered in sweat, she sat on the bed in horror, staring at Helen blankly. Helen wiped her sweat, "Xiaoyu, you were shouting Lao Wang just now, Lao Wang, what a loud voice, is Lao Wang the general, you really love him." ”

Shen Mengxi couldn't cry or laugh, and explained two sentences, but Helen didn't believe it at all, so she simply didn't say anything.

I changed into dry clothes and lay down again. For so many years, she almost didn't think much about Wang Jianguo, and when she encountered a setback this time, she felt sad, and she unconsciously remembered the most reliable old Wang. Shen Mengxi couldn't help but have a damp eye, hugged the quilt tightly, and buried his head.

The next day, another spiritual teacher Zhang, taught the students as usual, writing manuscripts, translating, meditating, exercising, looking at Ah Huan's schoolwork, and teasing rhubarb.

But within a week, she was losing weight at a rate visible to the naked eye.

One day, after getting off work at night, as soon as I entered the living room, I saw Xu Shizhe and Ah Huan, who had just finished school, eating snacks. When they saw her come home, they all stood up.

"Ah Huan, eat less snacks, you won't be able to eat dinner for a while."

"Got it, Mom, I only ate one piece."

"Well, Ah Huan's self-control is getting better and better." Shen Mengxi put down his leather bag and changed his leather shoes. "Tell me, what's the matter with you?" sat on the sofa and looked at Xu Shizhe.

"I read the tabloid......" Xu Shizhe said halfway, as if waiting for Shen Mengxi to take over.

Shen Mengxi didn't speak, looked at him, and waited for him to continue.

"Ah Huan, Dad has something to say to Mom, you go upstairs first."

"No, Ah Huan has grown up, I don't have anything he can't listen to."

Ah Huan stood at the table hesitantly, looking at her parents in embarrassment.

"Ah Huan, go to my mother's study and bring the envelope containing the photo and the photo frame on the table."

Ah Huan answered the call and took it and put it next to Shen Mengxi. Shen Mengxi pointed at Xu Shizhe, "Show your father." ”

Xu Shizhe looked at the photo and understood that the photo was synthetic, "but ......"

"But we went to Harbin together, right?" Shen Mengxi let out a breath and patiently explained, "I went to Northeastern University for an investigation, and I met General Wang, who went to Harbin on business, and for safety reasons, I asked to be accompanied by him." It's because I didn't think it through, ignored the gossip of the world, and also affected you, I apologize. This is the only time I can explain to you for the sake of Ah Huan: There is nothing between me and General Wang Shouqing, although General Wang and I are both single now. Okay, that's the explanation, you're good to go. ”

"Jiayu, I know what it's like to be on the cusp of public opinion. I know you, and I am not here to question you, nor do I have the right to question you. I know you've been wronged, and I'm here to comfort you. I am close friends with Shouqing, he is a gentleman......" Shen Mengxi noticed that this person spoke, always me, mine, a typical self-centered personality, so he was impatient to listen to him.

"So you stole the gentleman's wife." Shen Mengxi didn't choose to speak.

Xu Shizhe choked for a moment, his face turned red, he leaned forward again, and gestured with both hands to strengthen his tone of eloquence, "Jiayu, you haven't loved, you don't know that when love comes, people are not controlled by reason, no matter what you do, your mind is full of that person!" Do you know what it's like for two people to fall in love with each other? Do you know what it's like for two people to be in a soul match? I have indeed vilely destroyed Shouqing's family, and I have always felt guilty! But! Mei and I are truly in love! ”

"So what?"

"Mei doesn't love Shouqing at all, just like I didn't love you back then, that kind of marriage is immoral, we are all victims, this kind of marriage requires brave people to dare to be the first in the world, break old habits, and more lovers can eventually become dependents in the future......"

"Lin Huiya, Ling Su." Shen Mengxi said slowly, "You love it all, right?" What do you think is morality, your love is above everything, the immorality that hinders you, and everything you do is righteous and awe-inspiring, right? Xu Shizhe! Please go back, I've said everything I should have said, don't harass my life under the guise of Ah Huan in the future! Ah Qing, send off! ”

Ah Huan wrinkled her face sadly and wanted to cry.

"I thought you were also happy to divorce, but it turns out that you mind so much." Xu Shizhe looked at Shen Mengxi with a complicated expression.

That expression made Shen Mengxi a little disgusted, as if Shen Mengxi was jealous and lost his temper. I suddenly remembered Zhang Jiayu's mood felt on the cruise ship, "The surname is Xu, don't think too highly of yourself, I won't kill my son to force you not to divorce, it's really like to gather people in groups, a group of filthy villains who advertise as new-school literati, in addition to coveting their friends' wives and writing a few abusive poems, what else can they do besides letting women have abortions?" Shen Mengxi's loud voice attracted Helen, and Ah Qing remembered that she was at a loss.

Xu Shizhe stood up in surprise, "You, you, where are you still like a lady, where are you still like a professor!" ”

"Get out! Go back and wear your cuckold, you robbed someone else's wife, and your friend robbed yours again! One or two are thinking about it! Get lost! ”

Xu Shizhe stood up helplessly and touched Ah Huan's hair, "Dad loves you and your mother." ”

Ah Huan nodded tearfully and held his father's hand, reluctant to let go.

Xu Shizhe left, Shen Mengxi stood in the living room, his chest rose and fell violently, something fell to the floor, and there was a snapping sound, Shen Mengxi was shocked, and when he touched his face, there were tears on his face. wiped it with a handkerchief, blew his nose again, and threw it on the ground, "Ah Qing, burn it!" ”

******

Old Madam Lin came, smiled at Shen Mengxi and said, "Cough, what is this, and no one has named your name, people live for a lifetime, which one is not pointed at by others, and which one is not wronged?" You're still too young to have anything to do! ”

Shen Mengxi put the washed grapes in front of Mrs. Lin, and the old lady ate one of them, "In the years when his father died, I was going to die." The child is four years old, and I am only twenty! I also thought about leaving him behind and going one step further, but this child is pitiful, and treats me as his own mother, and the little eyes that look at me are reluctant, and I am reluctant to leave him, and take him with me, I can only marry an old widower, a lame and blind man. Ruthless, I'm not married! I took him with me and held it up. ”

After speaking, he smiled at Shen Mengxi. Shen Mengxi didn't ask her how she survived, looking at her hands, she knew that it was not easy.

"At that time, a family wanted to marry me, but they couldn't take their children with me, and I didn't agree, so they poured dirty water on me, so that I couldn't marry someone else." The old lady pursed the corners of her eyes, "Then I don't agree either!" ”

"Yue Sheng was more than ten years old and sold fruits outside, mixing the world, that child didn't tell me how hard he was, and saved it for me when he made money, and later, life was better, and I couldn't see him anymore, I was busy every day, and there were many daughters-in-law, so I couldn't rank up as my old lady."

"There are many children in the family, but no daughter-in-law is willing to bring the children to me and dislikes me."

Shen Mengxi listened to Mrs. Lin's words, but her heart gradually calmed down. Before I knew it, I rested my head on her shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, Mrs. Lin repeatedly complained that her shoulders were sore, Shen Mengxi hurriedly massaged and kneaded her, and finally cooked a dish of shredded apples and pot-wrapped meat, which made her better.

Mrs. Lin said while eating: "Don't let this matter tie your hands and feet, you have to do what to do in the future, even if you remarry, you can still not associate with men for the rest of your life, how loose the world is now, look at that skirt, and what kind of cover you have, you can still be a teacher, make money to support yourself, how good!" ”

"In this comparison, if someone is more bitter than me, I am not so sad." Shen Mengxi smiled and also ate a piece of pot-wrapped meat.

"I haven't had a child in my life, but I also know that my daughter has been wronged, and it is uncomfortable to be a mother. You are good, your mother has knowledge under the spring, so you can feel at ease. ”

"Ha, as soon as you say that I don't dare to worship, she will probably crawl out of the grave and beat me in anger."

"Nonsense!"

Shen Mengxi laughed, and most of the depression in his heart was dispelled.

"Alas, if my boy had survived, he would have been a few years older than you!"

In the end, the age of the soul is there, Shen Mengxi quickly walked out of the haze, and soon, she worshiped the old lady Lin as her godmother, and the old lady was very happy, "Jiayu, you said, Zhang Shaoshuai's daughter-in-law worshiped her godmother, and the old lady of the Song family gave a thick change of words, I, an illiterate old lady, am really wronged by you!" With a smile on his face, he put an emerald bracelet on Shen Mengxi's hand, "It's just right, it's a good match!" ”

He said to Lin Yuesheng again: "You have to take care of your sister in the future!" Can't let people bully it! ”

Lin Yuesheng hurriedly agreed.

Later, the Lin family set up a banquet at the Golden Gate Hotel, invited some relatives and friends who knew each other, and sat at a large table, which was officially announced.

One night a week after recognizing his godfather, Shen Shidi's photo studio photos were suddenly smashed by a group of unidentified people, and even the two families downstairs were also implicated.

Shen Shidi did not say a word, did not report to the police station, but silently redecorated the store and purchased photographic equipment. quietly came to the Zhang family's villa again and sincerely apologized to Shen Mengxi.

Shen Mengxi didn't know about smashing the store in advance, and she wouldn't act like this anyway, but the matter was out, and she couldn't do anything unappreciated. In the next two days, when he took Ah Huan to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at Mrs. Lin's house, he implicitly mentioned that Shen Shidi was just a work mistake, not intentionally, and the matter was not mentioned.

Lin Yuesheng didn't plan to make a big fuss, after all, Shen Shidi was a foreigner, and he had a wide range of friends, and someone had already handed him an invitation to make peace.

As for the person who secretly washed the photos, Shen Mengxi didn't ask, if Lin Yuesheng could find him, he would definitely tell her, if she couldn't find it, she didn't want to make a fuss about this matter.
