The first rainstorm of autumn lasted for several days. The continuous rainy days keep the city asleep in gloom.

Since the grudge with Zhang Shuai has deepened, after Ran Jing was angry at Meng Xing last time, Meng Xing had less smile on his face, he was often in a daze, and he lost a lot of weight.

I knew—even though neither of us mentioned any of these disputes, the matter of making a wish had put too much pressure on her.

I don't want her to not only bear the responsibility of Su Jingzhaoxue, but also to add to the psychological burden again. So every time I face her, I will let go of all the baggage in my heart, try to make her happy, and divert her attention.

On the night when Chu Qing came to knock on the door, the light rain turned into a torrential rain.

Meng Xing flew to Qingluo, Yunnan again, to inquire about the progress of Su Jing's case, in Beijing, the doctor had given Grandma Liu a critical illness notice, if Grandma Liu left like this, Meng Xing's pressure would be even greater.

If Su Jing hadn't died in the first place, Meng Xing's life and world would have completely embarked on a different trajectory. No matter whether life is ordinary or exciting, there will only be sunshine and beauty in her dreams.

I thought of her unfinished painting again, maybe it was a portrayal of her heart, full of unknowns and expectations.

At night, I called Ran Jing at home and asked about the progress of the investigation of the Ocean Group.

Ms. Ran said the police were ramping up their efforts, the guards were nowhere to be found, and Ms. Zhang was likely unharmed.

She told me to be safe, to be careful, and to bring chilli water or something for self-defense.

Then he said: "Forget it, it's wolf-proof, it's useless for them, these people probably have guns." Keep your phone on and be in touch whenever you have a situation. ”

After hanging up the phone, I looked out the window and imagined how this tragedy and feud would end.

Everything is arranged for the best, who can control the power of fate?

Outside, the rain was pouring down from the roof of the building, and someone was knocking on the door hard, and when he opened the door, he saw Chu Qing sitting outside drenched and drunk.

Reaching out to help her, she was covered in mud, with a wound on her face, a swollen eye, and a shoe.

I looked at her in amazement, and quickly carried her into the living room, put her on the couch, and found some clean clothes for her to change into. After changing clothes, I brought ice cubes and painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicines.

She took the medicine and collapsed limply on the couch, putting ice cubes on her swollen eye, her other with tears in her face.

Judging from her drunk, aggrieved and frightened expression, I guessed that she and Zixuan had another quarrel.

Sure enough, next, she sobbed intermittently and drunkenly and said her love and hatred with Zixuan.

"I have a lover." I wasn't surprised when she said this, the last time I saw her have a private meeting with an old man by the riverside, I was mentally prepared, but her latter words made me thunder and stunned on the spot.

"He is Mayor Meng Jiangnan, and he is the father of your girlfriend Meng Xing."

There was a huge wave in my heart.

I know that Meng Xing grew up in a divorced family and has a father who works in the government, but no one has ever told me that her father is the mayor Meng Jiangnan, and he is also Chu Qing's lover.

But I didn't rush to ask Chu Qing for confirmation, and I was shocked to listen to her tell these private things.

Chu Qing's family is in the field, born in the mountains, and has gone all the way to the present, going through ups and downs. In particular, her cousin Chu Yue was killed and was not dealt with fairly, which had a great impact on her.

Since then, the idea of trying to succeed has been deeply embedded in her heart. And she believes that the reason why Cinderella was discovered by Prince Charming is because she has a beautiful and moving appearance, so that she can wear crystal slippers and beautiful clothes, and change her fate from then on. Women must carefully dress up themselves and groom Cinderella to be Snow White - let the beauty of women be brought to the extreme, so that they can climb to the top faster in the workplace game and career.

Chu Qing is a Cinderella full of desires, although she does not have a prominent background, but she has a charming beauty and noble temperament, these are the auspicious clouds that the fairy controls when he descends to the earth, making the world mysteriously look up and dementor the soul.

She spends all her energy and income on dressing up, whether it is clothes, perfumes, or satchels, she uses the best. It's like a beautiful vase, the more beautiful it is, the emptier the heart, not something that ordinary people can satisfy and fill, and a beautiful and expensive vase is never likely to be collected by the poor.

After falling in love with Zixuan, because of her beautiful appearance and the aura of the host, Zixuan was very taboo about her going out to socialize. feels that a girl like Chu Qing, who was born poor and experienced setbacks, is easy to fall in love with vanity, and the slightest temptation from the outside world will make her heart sway, and her feelings will be confused.

This kind of suspicion was still tolerated by Chu Qing at first, but slowly lost patience. The biggest natural enemy of love and marriage is distrust, which comes from suspicion, which in turn comes from discovering suspicious clues about square traces, and then there is no reasonable explanation and effective communication after discovery.

Some things are simply not clear, and it is impossible to communicate thoroughly. This leaves behind hidden dangers and accumulated resentment until it turns violent.

Chu Qing and Meng Jiangnan met at a drinking party. Initially, she didn't want to be his lover, she just wanted to get to know and get closer. But after Zixuan's repeated suspicions and unreasonable troubles, with a gambling nature, she began to slowly and deliberately close her relationship with Meng Jiangnan.

A powerful man is also lonely, he has no true friends, and he will not let go of a noble, elegant, and tender woman like Chu Qing.

Chu Qing found the long-awaited sense of security and satisfaction in Meng Jiangnan, and was attracted by this kind of man who was cloaked in power and had the charm of power, and finally the two crossed the bottom line and developed into lovers.

In the ambiguity and taking what they need, they finally crossed the bottom line. It was a trip to other places with Meng Jiangnan to attract investment, and Chu Qing was interviewed with the group.

That night, in the aura of Meng Jiangnan's strategizing and respectful surroundings, red wine, Western food, and the warm and romantic night breeze all turned into crazy desires like weeds.

Her enthusiasm and unrestrained took the initiative to show her goodwill, which startled Meng Jiangnan, he didn't expect a mysterious, dignified, and beautiful host to be so turbulent in her heart and so easy to be conquered, she should be reserved, and it is difficult to be seduced.

In fact, the wealthy have a lot of grievances, not to mention that Chu Qing was born poor, she was attracted by Meng Jiangnan's freewheeling power, and what conquered her was this status and dignity above 10,000 people.

At that time, Meng Jiangnan was sitting in the room in a suit and tie reading documents, and Chu Qing pushed the door in a purple pajamas. Meng Jiangnan, who was in a suit and leather shoes, sweated a lot, in this society, men who do big things always wear too much, and when women wear too little, big things are likely to happen.

Meng Jiangnan was quickly submerged in Chu Qing's watery delicateness and couldn't extricate himself.

In the intimate moment like a black poppy, Meng Jiangnan was mostly lying there passively, watching a delicate summer flower act recklessly.

For a man in his early fifties, it is difficult to support his physical strength when he meets a young girl like Chu Qing. Chu Qing took the initiative to greet him, she controlled this domineering man as she wanted, galloped bravely, and grabbed his meticulous hair hard, like conquering a strong war horse. Let her be condescending and proud of the city from now on.

When Meng Jiangnan was sweating profusely, she just lay down, holding her frantically jumping delicate flowers in both hands, and trembling her body, as if admiring a work of art.

When she said Meng Jiangnan, I had recovered from the initial shock, and my stomach twitched, it was hard to imagine that such a clean and pure girl as Meng Xing had such a father.

When Chu Qing came back from that business trip, there was no change elsewhere, the only thing that changed was when she was intimate. She said that when she was with Zixuan again, she seemed absent-minded, her mind was heavy, her brain had already broken down and flown to nowhere, lying there like a dead fish, talking to herself mechanically, this was dealing with Zixuan.

If Zi Xuan spends too much time on her, she will frown unnaturally and appear impatient, which Zi Xuan understands as a symptom of cheating.

Women are different from men, as long as men have desires, whether they like it or not, they will vent on women. And once a woman cheats, the most obvious change is physical contact - no longer willing and impatient to have intimacy with the man in the past.

Suspicion made Zixuan more and more manic, and his violent tendencies became more and more obvious. After Chu Qing became pregnant, he was so drunk that he told her a lot of theories of "paternal inheritance", and beat Chu Qing at will, Chu Qing was forced to go to the hospital and beat the child.

When she went to work today, Chu Qing found that she had lost her phone.

In the evening, Chu Qing had a dinner party and got drunk. When she came back, she found that Zixuan was holding her mobile phone, and she rushed up angrily and began to stage Huashan sword and vicious dog pounce.

Chu Qing gritted her teeth and endured the violence, her heart as cold as a wilderness ice field.

It turned out that Chu Qing's mobile phone was not lost, it was Zixuan who took it. He spent a day unlocking Chu Qing's WeChat password. All the contacts between Chu Qing and Meng Jiangnan are stored in WeChat. The reason why Chu Qing didn't delete it was because in case Meng Jiangnan didn't want her in the future, she could keep it as evidence, use it as capital, and fight for something for herself.

Of course, after Zixuan finished reading it, he didn't know that this lover was Meng Jiangnan. Meng Jiangnan's WeChat has no avatar, no self-introduction, only a nickname.

Listening to Chu Qing tell this, I suddenly felt that the woman in front of me was so strange, and it also had a terrifying color, which was very different from the usual dignified and atmospheric Chu Qing.

A violent, distorted and sad picture appeared in front of her, and she was silent for a long time and asked, "Do you love Zixuan?" ”

She seemed to be whispering, and it took a long time for her to whisper, "Love." ”

I said, "Then you're still doing it!" ”

She looked extremely weak and said slowly: "Love and affair are two different things, some people cheat in search of carnal lust, and some people do it for money and power." ”

After a while, she closed her eyes and whispered, "It's too late to say anything, I can't tolerate his hurt to me, just as he can't stand my betrayal of him!" With that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The night is cold, the city is misty, and heavy rain is falling from the sky, and everything has to be washed away.

The huge thunder that exploded outside the window did not wake Chu Qing up, this was a kind of exhaustion that went deep into the bone marrow.

Looking at the sleeping Chu Qing, I had mixed feelings in my heart.

A philosopher said: If you love, please love deeply; If you abandon it, please do it thoroughly; Don't be ambiguous, hurt others and hurt yourself.

Zixuan and Chu Qing have long been strangers, full of resentment, but they never give up. In the end, the more they hurt each other.
