Chapter 10: The Rise of Miss Scrapwood
Zhuo Yihang followed Zhuo Bowen to do business outside three years ago, and their mother and son rarely had the opportunity to meet.
Seeing her son, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Xie Feng'er suddenly burst into tears, and excitedly held the other party's hand, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Four girls, where is your eldest sister?"
Zhuo Bowen looked around the hall and always felt that something was missing.
After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered why Jiang Xinyu, his eldest daughter, didn't come out to greet him.
Although Jiang Xinyu has been here for several years, every time he comes back, Zhuo Bowen is in a hurry, and he is entangled by the two ladies and the second and third misses, so naturally he has no time to think of the daughter who has been neglected.
"Big sister..... I don't know very well! "The fourth lady Zhuo Tianqin is timid by nature, although she is not as exaggerated as Jiang Xinyu before, but because her mother is a humble maid, she has been very inferior since she was a child.
She lowered her head, her face panicked, and timidly answered Zhuo Bowen's question.
"Feng'er, have you sent someone to tell Tianxue the news of my return?" Zhuo Bowen asked Xie Feng'er.
Among the three ladies, Zhuo Bowen loves the mother of the eldest lady Jiang Xinyu.
But because of Jiang Xinyu's similar appearance to his mother, every time Zhuo Bowen sees Jiang Xinyu, he will remember that the woman he loves has left him, and his mood becomes gloomy.
There is a faint hatred, and at the same time there is an inexplicable sentimentality.
Regarding Zhuo Bowen being so anxious to ask Jiang Xinyu about it, Xie Feng'er had an obvious thief's heart, but pretended to be calm and asked, "Master, why did you suddenly think of Tianxue?" You're ..... to that girl in Tianxue."
"Didn't you tell Tianxue?"
For some reason, Zhuo Bowen's heart suddenly sprouted an uneasiness.
Even though he has an instinctive rejection of Jiang Xinyu because of the loss of his beloved wife for many years, in his heart, he still cares about this daughter who has always been silent and timid.
"The lord is like this, there were some thieves in the house last night, they went to the eldest lady's residence, and they had bad intentions towards the eldest lady, the eldest lady is a loyal martyr, in order to maintain her innocence, she ..... like this" Xiao Cui saw that the time was ripe, and enthusiastically stood up, making up lies with a handful of snot and tears, in order to hide the viciousness of herself and the second lady.
"What?" At first hearing this shocking news, Zhuo Bowen's mood fluctuated a lot, he didn't stand firm for a while, and almost fell backwards, but fortunately, Zhuo Yihang stood aside and found his father's strangeness in time, and supported Zhuo Bowen, who was stimulated.
"What did you just say? You say it again....." His hands trembled obviously, for this shocking news, Zhuo Bowen was difficult to accept for a while, and only at this time did Zhuo Bowen suddenly realize that the rejection in the past was just because he loved too much and was afraid of losing.
"Master, please mourn and change, if the eldest lady is alive, I don't want to see the master in such pain." Xiaocui pretended to be in pain and sincerely persuaded Zhuo Bowen.
"Who is there talking nonsense that I'm dead?" A hearty voice came from outside the hall, Jiang Xinyu was wearing a pale pink skirt, and a bright smile hung on her delicate face.
A few strands of silk hair swayed in the wind, and the skirt also followed the breeze to do a beautiful dance, with light steps, a noble posture with a bit of girlish softness, and the whole body exuded bursts of aura.
It is very different from the Jiang Xinyu in Zhuo Bowen's memory before.
Staring at Jiang Xinyu, who is now refreshed, staring at the smile on Jiang Xinyu's cheeks, for a moment, Zhuo Bowen was stunned, as if he saw Jiang Xinyu's mother when he first saw it.
"Unfilial daughter, Tianxue asks for peace for my father, and for the second and third aunts!" The show is on! The corners of Jiang Xinyu's lips raised an evil smile, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The pretty face is matched with a slowly blooming smile, like a red lotus, charming and enchanting. The cold eyes gently glanced at the second lady, so that the second lady, who was already a little weak-hearted, shook her body obviously twice, and with the support of Xiaocui, she stood firm, staring at Jiang Xinyu who was smiling with a spring breeze in horror.
"Snow ..... You ....." Although Zhuo Bowen had heard of Jiang Xinyu's changes, he was still surprised for a moment after he actually saw it.
Not only Zhuo Bowen, but also Zhuo Yihang, for this sister who has always been not very optimistic, Zhuo Yihang does not have a very good impression.
In addition to crying and crying all day long, everyone doesn't dare to look at them directly, like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, but today's Jiang Xinyu, instead of giving him the feeling he had before, has added a few unruly domineering, which aroused Zhuo Yihang's great interest.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Don't know Tianxue? "Selling cuteness and being good, although it is not Jiang Xinyu's forte, but when it comes to using it, Jiang Xinyu still plays it to the fullest.
"I ...... The change in the snow was so great that the father was a little caught off guard. Zhuo Bowen looked embarrassed and pretended to be calm
At this moment, Jiang Xinyu's eyes are very similar to her mother's mother, with a bit of stubbornness in her playfulness, at first glance, it looks like his mother is standing alive in front of everyone, which inevitably makes some people lose their minds.
Thinking of Jiang Xinyu's deceased mother, Zhuo Bowen lowered his head gloomily, but this time, he did not reject Jiang Xinyu, but appreciated it a little more.
"Really? Does Daddy like the changes I'm making now? Pretending to be obedient, Jiang Xinyu asked flatteringly in front of Zhuo Bowen, and a pair of clear eyes with water and spirit concealed all kinds of conspiracies.
"Naturally, I like it!" Zhuo Bowen seemed to be charmed by Jiang Xinyu, and frankly said what he thought.
"Like? I knew that my father liked ....." When the words fell, Jiang Xinyu noticed Zhuo Yihang standing next to Zhuo Bowen, the other party's handsome and extraordinary appearance did not attract Jiang Xinyu's attention, and he glanced at the other party indifferently, and then walked in front of the second lady and asked in a regular manner: "Second aunt ....."
Xie Feng'er, who was called by the second aunt, suddenly felt cold and creepy, staring at Jiang Xinyu with a little vigilance in her eyes, and asked with a little displeasure: "Tianxue, why did you come so late?" ”
"Didn't the second aunt's maid just say that I was dead? It's not easy to be here now, isn't it? The words were full of provocation to Xie Feng'er, obviously with a bright smile, but it brought a strong sense of oppression.
"Xiaocui, she must have woken up yet, that's why she is here to talk about it, Tianxue, you don't have to worry about her!" After a short adjustment, Xie Feng'er pretended to be calm and quibbled for Xiao Cui.
"Second aunt, what you said is not right, where can I, Jiang Xinyu, be as stingy as the second aunt said, and deal with a lowly subordinate, I can't do it! However, there are some things that are unbearable and involuntarily! ”
Jiang Xinyu's meaning, how could Zhuo Bowen not understand?
The deep eyes glanced sharply at Xie Feng'er and Xiaocui, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, in order to keep this family calm, Zhuo Bowen chose to turn a blind eye.
"Okay, it's good that the people have arrived, Feng'er, the third child, you two will accompany me to report safety to my mother."
Home and everything is prosperous, Zhuo Bowen's psychology should think like this, right? Seeing his daughter being bullied, it is really a minority for a father to be able to be so calm.
Staring at the backs of Zhuo Bowen and Xie Feng'er as they left, the shadow under Jiang Xinyu's eyes was fully seen by Zhuo Yihang.
"Are you really the Tianxue I know?"
With a little curiosity, Zhuo Yihang walked to Jiang Xinyu's side, staring at Jiang Xinyu with dark starry eyes for a while, and then opened his mouth curiously to ask.
Glancing at Zhuo Yihang, Jiang Xinyu's cherry-red lips slightly hooked up a shallow smile, staring at Zhuo Yihang with burning eyes, and said with a bit of seriousness: "Why doesn't my brother know my sister?" ”
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that my sister's character ......"
Before the words fell, I heard Jiang Xinyu's slightly sarcastic remarks: "Personality can change with the environment, even if it is a lamb to be slaughtered, there is a moment of resistance, isn't it?" ”
The evil smile was mixed with a little coldness, and he said these words indifferently, and his eyes looked sharply at Zhuo Tianmei and Zhuo Tianfeng, who were in a daze on the spot, and the coldness in his eyes became thicker, and finally his eyes fell gorgeously on Zhuo Tianqin, who didn't dare to raise his head there.
With just a glance, Jiang Xinyu concluded the identity of the other party, looked at it without being noticed, and then with a little arrogance, turned to Xiao Rou, who was waiting quietly outside, and ordered: "Xiao Rou, let's go back!" ”
"Yes....." Xiaorou obediently followed behind Jiang Xinyu and followed back to the other garden step by step.
"Big brother, you have seen it, the current Tianxue is very arrogant, if it is encouraging her crooked spirit, I am afraid that the entire Zhuo Mansion will be in chaos." finally looked forward to returning to her brother who hadn't seen her for a long time, Zhuo Tianmei came to Zhuo Yihang with a little grievance, and said fanning the flames.
There is only one purpose, I hope my brother can think of a way to get rid of Jiang Xinyu.
"Tianmei, are you exaggerating? Although Tianxue's personality has changed a little, it shouldn't be as serious as you say, right? ”
In the past few years, Zhuo Yihang has heard about Jiang Xinyu from his mother and sister.
In his impression, Jiang Xinyu is a cowardly and incompetent woman who can only cry her nose, although there has been a slight change now, he does not think it is as exaggerated as Zhuo Tianmei stated.
