Chapter 80 Turning a Blind Eye
There are thousands of ways to defeat a person, and destroying his perception of the world from the bottom of his heart is the most cruel. Material collapse is nothing, a person like Huo Li, as long as he is given a chance, he can change places and make a comeback at any time. The more this cat-and-mouse teasing, the more his proud self-control collapsed.
And once Huo Li has a flaw, the other party will never show mercy, since Huo Li knew that Cen Man's miscarriage might not be an accident, the situation between him and the stranger has been endless.
Everything the other party is doing now is just a temptation, a temptation to see what he cherishes most in Huo Li's heart. Mother, wife, children or career?
Lang Jun is right, if Huo Li is replaced, if he has to face such a result of a fish dead and a broken net, he will also choose to find out the weakness of the other party and strike mercilessly.
What really made Huo Li feel uneasy was that he found that his weaknesses could not be hidden at all, family love and career, he was unwilling to let go of any of them, and he had to grasp each one in the palm of his hand.
When Huo Li was an ignorant toddler, Old Man Huo taught him to play chess. The first step in learning to play chess is to cultivate qi. No matter which move your opponent is going to make, no matter which move you are going to make, you can't let the opponent see what you think. If he can't guess your mind, he won't dare to act rashly, and you will have a chance to win.
Huo Li was waiting for an opportunity to move, he believed that it was impossible for that person to hide behind the scenes all the time, and when the other party tasted victory, he would definitely appear in front of him and give him a fatal blow.
Huo Li wanted to lure that person into appearing, and he needed a decoy, an object that would be enough to convince the other party of the illusion he had created. He sadly found that the most suitable candidate was the one he least wanted to use - Cen Man.
Snuffing out the last cigarette, Huo Li kept lobbying himself to be ruthless, and he couldn't hesitate for too long. Cen Man didn't do anything wrong, but now he had to put her on the cusp, if he could, Huo Li would rather that person be himself. Maybe Cen Man won't forgive him, even if his purpose is to protect her and protect the Huo family,
Huo Li buried his face in his palms, and a deep sigh came out of the man's throat.
The night was still long, enough for him to abandon the last trace of softness and unbearability.
It's been almost a week since Mrs. Huo moved into Huo Li's villa. Although Zhang's mother had vaguely reminded her that this was the young master's home, and the young lady was the rightful hostess, Mrs. Huo still had many things that she couldn't get used to.
Cen Man went out early, she couldn't help but blame her for waking up others, Cen Man came back late, she would sneer at her for taking care of herself and being happy outside, not thinking about Huo Mo and her family.
Cen Man was used to these groundless accusations, and Mrs. Huo didn't like her explanation, so she didn't say a word. She didn't want to let the Huo family worry about internal and external troubles at this juncture.
However, the crisis will not slow down because of Cen Man's deliberate avoidance.
First of all, Huo Li almost didn't go home, and Mrs. Huo complained about it. She naturally knows that her son is working hard outside, but = but she can't sit at home all day, this kind of anxiety needs a vent point, and Cen Man deserves to be the most suitable person to vent.
From Huo Mo's clothes, shoes, hats and socks to the vase decorations at home, Mrs. Huo picked all the faults she could pick. At this time, Mrs. Huo suddenly found that the maid named Xiaoqin recommended by Yang Meilian was really very useful. No matter how outlandish Mrs. Huo's request was, she did her best to fulfill it.
For example, Mrs. Huo saw that Cen Man liked the moon flowers planted in the garden very much, and when she was cheesy, Xiaoqin used the gardening scissors to cut the blooming flowers in pieces. Cen Man went home and saw the bowl-sized moon flowers scattered miserably in the yard, and the delicate petals were crushed into the dust and trampled to pieces, so Xiaoqin took the big scissors and violently cut the remaining branches to the roots.
Cen Man was very distressed, and Xiaoqin stuck her waist, squinted at the young lady and said loudly: "In our countryside, this flower is so big that it attracts ghosts, I cut this bad thing, don't blame me for the young lady." ”
How could Cen Man be unable to get along with Mrs. Huo's people for such a "trivial matter", not to mention that Xiaoqin didn't know a few big characters, and Cen Man communicated with her like a chicken and a duck.
Mrs. Huo was originally worried that Huo Li would get angry when she saw this scene, but her son just said lightly: "Cut it, just cut it, follow my mother's pleasure." Mrs. Huo was pleasantly surprised, Huo Li used to help Cen Man speak, maybe he had been worrying too much recently, and his tone towards Cen Man was no longer good.
Mrs. Huo tasted the sweetness, and couldn't help but get even worse, and sent Xiaoqin to find some unhappiness for Cen Man in three days. Cen Man faced Xiaoqin, just like Xiucai couldn't explain it when he met a soldier, and gradually went with her.
Xiaoqin seemed to have won Mrs. Huo's gold medal for avoiding death, and turned into a celebrity in front of Mrs. Huo. Originally, in the way of your lady's face, Mrs. Huo disdained to use unreasonable means, but since she found out that Cen Man had no power to resist Xiaoqin, not only did she do all the chores, but everything she dealt with Cen Man fell on Xiaoqin.
Every morning at five o'clock, Xiaoqin would stand beside Cen Man's bed with a dark face, and said expressionlessly: "Young lady, it's time for you to get up and cook." At first, Cen Man was very puzzled, in the Huo family's mansion, the meals are taken care of by Zhang's mother, and the villa is Mother Sun's mother, do the two mothers need her help when they are not feeling well?
Xiaoqin said: "In our village, it is the daughters-in-law who cook the whole family's meal, and it is time to get up before dawn, and the young lady has slept for so long, it is time to get up and work." ”
Cen Man knew that Xiaoqin was instructed by Mrs. Huo to dare to speak to herself so arrogantly. But knowing that she knows, how can she explain to Xiaoqin that these jobs should not be done by her, a young lady. No matter what Cen Man wrote or compared, Xiaoqin said with a bitter face: "Don't embarrass me, young lady, I really don't understand what you (wrote) is talking about." ”
As long as Cen Man showed a little reluctance, Xiaoqin stuck to Cen Man's back like the most competent overseer, and did not give up until the goal was achieved.
Cen Man had to deal with official business during the day, and he had to get up early and work as a servant, and within a few days, he would look very haggard. She looked forward to Huo Li's return home, not to complain, but to hope that Huo Li could make Mrs. Huo restrain a little.
Huo Li's attitude turned a deaf ear, which Cen Man did not expect.
Not only that, even if Xiaoqin bullied Cen Man in front of Huo Li, Huo Li would in turn express his dissatisfaction with Cen Man: "You don't know how busy I am in the company, why can't you let me live a little bit when I finally go home?" ”
Cen Man was speechless.
Huo Li still had something to say: "At the beginning, you agreed to move to the villa, but now you feel uncomfortable and ask me to come forward to settle it, Cen Man, will you be too willful." ”
Seeing the wind, Mrs. Huo put on a shelf to fan the flames, saying nothing more than that since Cen Man is the mistress of the villa, if she is dissatisfied with herself, just rush at her, don't let Huo Li suffer in the middle.
These words are almost a naked wrongful accusation against Cen Man. She obviously didn't do anything, she didn't ask Huo Li for help, and she didn't want to drive Mrs. Huo back to Huo's house, facing the united front of the Huo family's mother and son, Cen Man was a little overwhelmed.
All of this was seen by Xiaoqin, who was waiting on the side.
Cen Man attributed Huo Li's indifference to the fact that he was under too much pressure from the crisis, and the small conflicts at home made him feel irritable. Even though this irritability seemed to be only for her alone, in the face of Mrs. Huo and Huo Mo, Huo Li still maintained the greatest patience.
Cen Man chose to silently sacrifice her feelings, the Huo family is also her home, and she shouldn't pull Huo Li's hind legs at this time.
Zhang's mother found out that something was wrong, and privately warned Xiaoqin not to rely on Mrs. Huo's momentum to embarrass Mrs. Huo, because she found that Mrs. Huo's emotions might have been only three points when she came up, but after Xiaoqin's "persuasion", she could reach ten points.
What Xiaoqin told Mrs. Huo was the scene where the evil mother-in-law in the countryside tortured the new daughter-in-law. What pretending to be pitiful, what is the opposite, to win sympathy in front of her son, Mrs. Huo listened to it with relish, and from time to time she had to try her hand with Cen Man.
Regarding Zhang's mother's warning, Xiaoqin looked confused, and asked Zhang's mother what she did wrong by listening to Mrs. Huo's arrangement, and those rural gossip was also what Mrs. Huo herself wanted to listen to, who would dare to disobey the master's orders?
Mrs. Huo saw that Cen Man was deflated and couldn't find anyone to share, so she called Yang Meilian with great interest.
Yang Meilian didn't believe it at first, so she came to the villa twice with a cheeky face, and was stunned to see Cen Man swallowing his anger and doing the work of his subordinates.
Isn't Mrs. Huo the most disciplined, even when Cen Man first married into the Huo family, Yang Meilian had never seen Mrs. Huo instruct Cen Man to do the rough work that her subordinates did, because Cen Man's identity was the young lady of the Huo family, and Cen Man's treatment in the Huo family was to strip the face of the Huo family, which was equivalent to telling others that the Huo family was such a small-bellied family that they couldn't even tolerate a dumb person who married into the door.
"Miss Yang, Madame is too kind, what kind of Miss Jiao you are in the countryside, marrying into your mother-in-law's family is your mother-in-law's family, even if your mother-in-law tells you to die, you can't frown,"
Mrs. Huo said yes again and again, and praised Yang Meilian for picking people, this little piano is really good.
Yang Meilian looked at Xiaoqin, who was praised and triumphant, with a chill running down her spine, so that she almost didn't dare to look at the inconspicuous maid.
What a terrible person this is, she has been flattering Mrs. Huo for so long, and she is still able to sow discord in her short period of time, and Mrs. Huo not only did not notice anything unusual, as if she had been brainwashed, and did not feel that there was anything abnormal about the behavior of these mountain and village women.
Yang Meilian swallowed her saliva and didn't ignore the worry in Zhang's mother's eyes, even Zhang's mother could see the problem, why didn't Mrs. Huo feel strange at all?
What does the force behind this Xiaoqin want to do, is it just to stir up Huo Li's house or is there any more creepy trick waiting for the Huo family?
