Chapter 50: Sincerity
Zhu Luan had never seen Duan Lizheng.
But the man did live in her memory.
From the memories inherited from the girl named Zhu Ying.
In the sea of fire that turned life and death upside down, in the moment when the girl with eyes full of hatred like a ghost grabbed her, in the torrent of rolling memories, this man appeared.
Very clear, unforgettable memory.
It was Duan Zhiyun's birthday, and before that, Miss Zhu Jiu had dedicated half a year of hospitality, beating and scolding, before she got the last position of a birthday banquet.
Then she finally met her fiancΓ©, whom she had never had a chance to meet.
It is difficult to describe how Miss Zhu Jiu felt at that time, because when the memories flooded into her mind, Zhu Luan really felt the intense emotional fluctuations.
This emotion was so strong that it made her a little confused for a moment, whether this was someone else's memory or her own feelings.
Duan Jia Erlang.
Duan Lizheng.
A clear young man's face appeared in front of Zhu Luan's eyes.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was thin and straight, dressed in a snow-white robe, and smiled gently at his sister in the sun, handsome and dazzling.
Miss Zhu Jiu's intoxication at that moment really remained in Zhu Luan's heart.
The shy girl stood up and mustered up the greatest courage to walk in front of the lover in her heart, but she saw Duan Zhiyun glance at her vaguely, and then said, "Second brother, your studies are more important, hurry up and go to study", and pushed Duan Lizheng away.
Miss Zhu Jiu only had time to watch the young man leave from a distance.
Just a glimpse, the child even clearly remembered every fold of his shirt on the back of the young man.
What an infatuated woman, and what a sad woman.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Miss Zhu Jiu is just an extremely stupid woman, but Zhu Luan can't think so.
She had never loved someone so deeply, let alone this kind of person who had only met once, so she didn't really understand why this girl had such thoughts.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and there are indeed many women like him in such a son.
Maybe it's just that these women are superficial, and when they see a handsome man with a bright future, they rush to it desperately.
Those really talented women and noble ladies will surely scoff at this, and as for the more noble princesses, they can't imagine it. Presumably Jin Yang would never have such an idea in his life, Zhu Luan thought quietly.
Zhu Luan inherited Miss Zhu Jiu's memories and did not inherit her feelings.
But in her memory, Miss Zhu Jiu did hold her pure and tender heart in front of Zhu Luan.
Her posture is humble, cautious, not daring to ask too much, immersed in her own fantasies. But it ended up in such a tragic end.
Even though she has left this world, there are still people who continue to abuse her sincerity.
Looking at the contemptuous face in front of Qin's eyes, Zhu Luan, who originally knew all about these noble ladies and was therefore not interested, only felt a flame quietly ignite in her heart.
She gently touched her heart.
What would that kid think if he was still here? Will it be heartbroken and ugly?
"What's wrong? Feeling bad? Qin's sarcastic words interrupted Zhu Luan's search for memories.
Zhu Luan's eyes turned cold, and his introverted eyes were covered with a layer of frost.
The corners of Qin's mouth were hooked, and she was about to say something more, but the girl's eyes made her a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, she felt that her thoughts were ridiculous, even if she hated herself deeply and hated herself, what could such a girl do, could she still have the ability to take revenge on herself.
It's just a young and vigorous little girl who doesn't know the cruelty of the world at all.
"Take out the marriage letter," Qin narrowed his eyes, "What's the use of you holding that marriage letter now?" β
She scoffed, "Tell me to talk to your parents?" Think you'll get rid of me? Threatening the Duan family? She continued, "It's a pity that Lingzun Lingtang doesn't have the blessing to see you married, so what does it matter if you don't talk about it?" β
These words can be said to be quite vicious, and the old lady Bai who was sitting on the side frowned, "You ......" She glared at the Qin family, her hand clenched the dragon's head crutch, and she was about to get angry.
The Qin clan looked at Old Taijun Bai without any guilt, with a reasonable and indifferent smile on his face.
Old Taijun Bai's eyes were cold, and the servants in Shou'an Hall did not dare to come out, and the atmosphere was suddenly tense to the extreme.
The girl's laughter suddenly interrupted the tense air in Shou'antang.
Zhu Luan raised his head, and there seemed to be two clusters of flames in his thin ice eyes, melting and burning the ice.
"Qin's," this was the first time she called Qin's when she stepped into Shou'an Hall, and she was not politely called "Mrs. Duan", obviously sitting at the bottom of Qin's family, but inexplicably there was a kind of majesty of the superior.
Qin's eyes widened, and the girl in front of him was young and light, and she looked terrifyingly calm.
She looked calmer than when she arrived at Duan Mansion before.
But this woman, no matter how clear and light she is, is still the feeling of a superior.
This feeling of being high above made Qin's inner anger uncontrollable.
"You girl......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhu Luan.
"Qin," she repeated as she looked at Qin with a smile.
"I have no interest in Duan Lizheng." The girl's voice was calm but clear, and it came into Qin's ears word by word, which seemed so incredible.
A slightly distorted smile appeared on Qin's face, "Hehe, what's so good about it now, who doesn't know your little thoughts, even if it's really as you said, then why are you reluctant to exchange marriage letters?" β
She covered her mouth and laughed, "It's really strange, since you want to do this shameless thing, you still don't admit it, you ...... do it."
"I'm not interested in Duan Lizheng at all," Zhu Luan repeated, "but I'm very interested in Duan Haochu." She said loudly.
The smile on Qin's face shattered.
"What did you say?" Qin wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and why he heard such an unbelievable thing.
"You're not very old, why can't you hear what others are saying now?" Zhu Luan said softly, like coaxing an ignorant child.
"I'm not interested in your son's, I'm interested in your son's brother." She patiently explained.
"That's why I asked Duan Haochu to come and talk to me," Zhu Luan said seriously, "I just need to see him." β
The girl's face was still as pale as when she entered the door, and she talked about the foreign man generously, and there was no trace of blush on her face.
The flame in Zhu Luan's heart burned quietly, and he said very sincerely, "So this matter actually has little to do with your son." β
She shook her head regretfully, "So what you said from beginning to end is really incomprehensible, why bother to be sentimental." β
Qin was dumbfounded.
