Back at the Wu Mansion, Chu Yue switched freely and turned into the cowardly and assertive Chu Liuyue.

At the dinner table, it was as lively as ever, either wives and concubines competed for favor, or children competed to show their fathers their dramas.

"It should be ripe over there now! The show can finally start, so look forward to it! Chu Yue pondered silently in her heart.

Looking at her eldest daughter, who has no sense of existence at home, Wu Junshan has great expectations for her. After all, as long as it takes about two years, you can recoup your money, and there may be unexpected surprises.

"This daughter is now studying at St. Mary's Church School, and when she graduates, this layer of gold will be gilded. Coupled with this good appearance, marrying a slightly higher family is not a problem. Even if it doesn't work, you can still send it to be a high-level/official aunt's wife, so that it can pull your mother's family even more. Wu Junshan silently calculated in his heart.

Thinking of the benefits he was about to get, the expression on Wu Junshan's face became even kinder.

"Liuyue, go to the account office after eating to receive fifty yuan, go out shopping tomorrow, remember to buy some gifts for classmate Sima and her family to return the gift, and be sure to get along with Miss Sima."

"Thank you, father, I'll get along with Wakasa." Chu Yue lowered her eyebrows and said.

"Father, I want to buy two more pieces of jewelry tomorrow, is it okay?" Wu Yuexi said coquettishly.

Wu Junshan said with a displeased face: "You are still young, what do you want so much jewelry for?" Your sister is older, and she doesn't ask for more clothes and jewelry when she goes out to meet customers. Yuexi, you're too ignorant. ”

After a pause, he said, "Shirou, you should pay more attention to your daughter's education." ”

"Got it, master," Dong Shirou said with a look of shame.

Chu Lianqing will not let go of any opportunity to fall into the well and step on Dong Shirou.

"Master, Liuyue is still more like you, smart and motivated. As soon as I got home, I was admitted to St. Mary's church school, and I heard that I had always been the first in the exam, and maybe I could go abroad at public expense in the future, giving the Wu family face. ”

Hearing these words, Wu Junshan became even happier, "Well, yes, Liuyue, I will keep this grade until the end of this semester, and I will reward you when the time comes." ”

Chu Yue tried her best to show that a cowardly girl was affirmed by her parents, excited and nervous.

"Father, I'll try to keep it up."

When the second aunt saw the scene in front of her, she also became silent, secretly touched her stomach, and lowered her head to hide the jealousy in her eyes.

After dinner, everyone in the Wu family dispersed.

"Liuyue, come to my room."

After Chu Lianqing finished speaking, she turned around and walked upstairs.

Touching the heart that was a little dull in an instant, "Could it be that there is still Xiao Liuyue's consciousness left in this body", Chu Yue quickly reined in his mind and silently followed the titular mother in front of him.

After closing the door, Chu Lianqing carefully looked at the lost daughter in front of her for the first time.

"Chu Liuyue has indeed inherited his good appearance, smart, but he is too cowardly. For nearly three months, there was no fight or grabbing. Fortunately, she forgot all those things back then......"

Holding back the nausea, Chu Yue tried her best to slow down her breathing, trying to control her facial expressions, and lowered her eyelashes slightly to cover the coldness in her eyes.

"Liuyue, in the past few months since you went home, are you still used to everything?"

looked at the daughter in front of him, and didn't respond to himself for a long time, Chu Lianqing only thought that Chu Yue was homesick.

"A-Niang has not been easy all these years! Since giving birth to you, I haven't had a good time. Ah Niang is ashamed of the ancestors of the Wu family, and has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for the Wu family. ”

Chu Yue only felt her temples jump suddenly, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth to interrupt Chu Lianqing's words, "Mother, am I not your daughter?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Lianqing was stunned, looked at it again and again, and always felt that she was hallucinating, that cowardly and timid daughter dared to interrupt her words, and it took a while to come back to her senses.

"Liuyue, this is your daughter's attitude towards her mother, where did your upbringing go?"

"Miss Ben's upbringing wheel is ...... for you scumbag parents," Chu Yue kept slandering in her heart.

Looking at her daughter, who was silent again, Chu Lianqing felt that she had been insulted, and her emotions exploded completely.

"Do you even blame me! Do you know what I've been like all these years? Dong Shirou's slut gave birth one after another, and I could only watch and do nothing, because I didn't give birth to a son. Seeing that Junshan is more and more partial to them, I can't make a fuss, the more Junshan makes trouble, the less he loves my room. ”

took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, Chu Lianqing continued: "What can I do, I can only give the master a room for a younger aunt to share the favor, anyway, I'm like this, can it be worse." As long as I can make Dong Shirou's slut unhappy, I am willing to do anything. ”

Hearing these words, Chu Yue quietly hooked the corners of her mouth. There is no sympathy for her suffering, but she feels that all this is her retribution, but this is not enough.

Chu Yue interrupted Chu Lianqing's words again, "Mother, if it's okay, I'm going back to my room to study." After all, there are so many excellent students in school, and I can only spend more time and energy to stay first. ”

The conversation was interrupted, Chu Lianqing was very unhappy in her heart, but thinking of today's purpose, she could only forcibly suppress the urge to beat her daughter.

"Liuyue, you are a big girl, behave well, whether A-Niang can regain your father's heart depends on you. When the time comes, A-Niang will pick a good family for you. ”

"Humph! Your words are less credible than a man's mouth. Chu Yue snorted coldly in her heart, but said on her lips: "Thank you, mother, I will do my best." ”

Without the mood to deal with this daughter, Chu Lianqing waved her hand and motioned for her to leave.

"Huhuhuhu......" Chu Yue woke up from the nightmare again, feeling the cold sweat on her forehead and body. I felt uncomfortable, so I took clean clothes and went to the bathroom to wash.

I lit a special incense and still couldn't sleep. Chu Yue had no choice but to get up and write down the things in her head silently.

Every night that she couldn't sleep all these years, Chu Yue spent almost like this. Endure silently, bear it alone, and never have to endure it again until one day, or completely explode to be liberated.

After breakfast, after some verbal arguments, Dong Shirou defeated Chu Lianqing with a crushing attitude, determined the seat of the final car, and arrived at the department store without saying a word.

The two mothers and daughters took 100 yuan each, and they separated separately, so as not to quarrel outside, and they couldn't explain to Wu Junshan when they went back.

Walking into a jewelry counter, the clerk immediately stepped forward to greet him, and enthusiastically introduced to the mother and daughter of the Chu family: "Mrs. Wu, Miss Wu, the jewelry in this row is the most popular among fashionable girls now. Which kind do you want to buy? ”

"Let's take a look at the new necklace that came recently"

The clerk quickly took out several necklaces from under the display case and gave them to choose from.

Chu Lianqing pointed to one of the necklaces and said, "Liuyue, try wearing this necklace", and after Chu Yue put on the necklace, she looked at the effect of the necklace from all directions. "Well, it's not bad, that's it."

The clerk on the side immediately said smartly: "Mrs. Wu, Miss Wu, do you need to put up the necklace?" As he spoke, he took out a tray of bracelets and earrings from under the counter, "There are also bracelets and earrings that go with the necklace, which are very suitable for wearing to the banquet, which is both fashionable and more noble for the young lady." ”

Chu Lianqing was very impressed by the clerk's praise, "Liuyue, I often come to this shop, and the master's craftsmanship is still very good." Try these on and out, choose a few more sets, and wear them instead. ”

With a low response, Chu Yue chose two or three sets of bracelets and earrings made of silver and gilt craftsmanship.

Lifting the bag, the clerk enthusiastically sent Chu's mother and daughter outside the store.

"Mother, I don't have much money left, should I buy some hair accessories or add a little more money to buy a better pendant" Chu Yue said to Chu Lianqing.

Hearing this, Chu Lianqing's brain, which had just been held fluttering by the clerk, instantly sobered up, glanced at her cowardly daughter, and then said lightly: "Your father works very hard, and the money he earns has to support a large family, you have to be considerate." With the rest of the money, you can buy more hairpins, so that you don't say that I, as a mother, have treated you badly. ”

"I know my mother," Chu Yue Nuo said.

"That mother, yesterday my father ordered to buy gifts for Ruoqian, she prefers novelty gadgets, and she is not very good at ordinary things, and the things in the store opened by the British may be more in line with her preferences."

"Well, don't keep up yet" Chu Lianqing sighed in a low voice and took the lead in walking towards the Englishman's shop next to her.

"Mother, this dragonfly-shaped brooch is very chic and novel, if you are shallow, you should like it, is it okay?"

"Okay, that's it, after picking for a long time, my eyes are all picked" Chu Lianqing nodded in agreement and motioned to the clerk to wrap it up.

After settling the account, the two left the store and walked towards the place where the Wu family's car was parked.

"Mother, I still want to go to the bookstore to buy some books, and I need them for next week's class, so I won't go home yet. Can you help me bring these things back first? ”

"After shopping, go home early, girls don't run around all day long." After Chu Lianqing finished speaking, she waved her hand to let Chu Yue leave.

On the other side, the Dong mother and daughter were happily choosing all kinds of jewelry, and decided that they must choose them well and strive to be a blockbuster at the banquet.

"A-Niang, this gold necklace is so beautiful" Wu Yuexi said excitedly, and after speaking, she picked up the necklace and gestured around her neck.

"Madam, Miss really has a vision, this is the new jewelry that came from abroad, and it is loved by many fashionable ladies and misses." The clerk complimented with a smile on his face.

"Well, Mrs. Ben is very knowledgeable about clothing and clothing, and knows everything that is new." Dong Shirou said with a reserved and arrogant face.

The clerk tentatively said, "The little one will wrap this necklace." ”

"Well, take a look at some new brooch bracelets"

"Yes, ma'am," said the clerk, taking out the jewelry she had asked for them to choose from, as she kept introducing them.

"Madam, these are all imported, and the styles are all the latest, but the price is a little expensive."

"The price is not a problem, the key is to wear it to the banquet without losing face," Dong Shirou said to the clerk in a tone that I was not short of money.

"A-Niang, this, this, and this, I like them all." Wu Yuexi hugged Dong Shirou's arm and said coquettishly.

patting her daughter's hand, Dong Shirou said: "Okay, buy them all, remember to earn face for A-Niang at the banquet." ”

Wu Yuexi received her mother's consent, and her face turned red with excitement. While trying on these jewelry, he kept saying: "A-Niang is the best, A-Niang loves her daughter the most, and her daughter loves A-Niang the most." ”

Dong Shirou looked at her excited daughter in front of her, and she was also full of joy.

For her regrets when she was young, she just wants to make amends to her daughter. Watching her daughter live a privileged life and enjoy the envy of everyone seems to be able to soothe her young heart hurt by poverty and criticism.
