Chapter 339: A Difficult Choice
Next.
Wu Xiaomei paced back and forth in the studio on the corner of the street, thinking about her next step. But I heard a faint sound in the painting of the big cage beauty, so I hurriedly attached my ears, stepped forward to listen, and heard Zhao Yuyan, who was locked up in the painting, tell her how to break the mechanism of the studio, and said: "Downstairs, behind the blue peacock picture that the painter likes very much, there is a secret room, you turn the button according to what I said, there is a lot of money in it, and a key." Once you have the key, please recite the spell engraved on the key twice, and I will be released from the painting. And to tell you the truth, I am from the Ning Xian family...... I heard everything about you when I talked to the painter, and I can help you so that you don't get insulted by the painter again......"
Wu Xiaomei was surprised that this painting had a fragmented language, but she hesitated.
At this time, she didn't have any way, the secret room hidden by the blue peacock picture, there was the money she needed, but the painter promised her to help her make friends with dignitaries, and she could go to the police station to intercede for her father, and the woman in the picture, Zhao Yuyan, said that she knew dignitaries and could help her, which side should she listen to?
She was not familiar with Zhao Yuyan, and thought about it repeatedly, since this girl was locked up in the painting by the painter, the painter's skill was obviously above her. So she covered it with an oil canvas and stopped listening to her.
In the afternoon, the "deal" she had once scoffed at went on as promised. Although she felt tormented every day, in desperation, when she thought of her family, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Wu Xiaomei gritted her teeth, eager to embed her nails into the painter's flesh and skin, but she had no choice but to lie to her feelings, and pretended to be a gentle voice: "Since I have come, I will not regret it, whatever you want......"
The painter turned her face angrily, saw the tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and said unhappily: "What are you crying about? Am I not worthy of you as a gentle and elegant talent who can meet your various conditions?"
She escaped the control of his palm, and sat up with her hard grip on the edge of the bed: "Three days, just three days, and then you will let me go...... Right?"
"If you like, I can marry you. ”
Behind Wu Xiaomei, this promise came. But she knew that she didn't like painters, but she came to exchange herself for her father's peace, she was such a lonely and arrogant girl, she used to have many men in her eyes, if it wasn't for her father, how could she come to beg and do this kind of thing.
Wu Xiaomei turned her head slightly, wrapped her clothes, pointed to the door and said, "You can go out now......"
The painter sat up from the bed. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she got up and walked in front of her: "Don't forget that I will marry you, if you want." ”
After saying that, she turned around and left, and her smug expression made Wu Xiaomei lower her head slightly.
She saw the half bottle of water on the table, picked it up and drank it. This is old water, it must have been boiled water a few days ago, in the past, in wealthy homes, this kind of water was not even drunk by the subordinates, but used as foot washing water.
Three days later, Wu Xiaomei, who had been wronged, dragged her tired body back to the old house. The painter also contacted the Su family according to what he promised, and the master of the Su family had some friendship with him after all, so he called the police station, made some accommodations, and released his father. That silver ticket, like a deed of sale, deprived Wu Xiaomei of her innocence, but also gave her family temporary freedom.
Unexpectedly, my father had a gloomy face, sitting in the hall, holding a rosary in his hand, and silently chanting words in his mouth.
"You're back. ”
Wu Xiaomei: "I came back in the morning, I asked someone to contact the Su family, and they helped to make some accommodations, so I released you in the afternoon." ”
Wu Xiaomei's father: "Where have you been in the past three days? Your mother and younger brother didn't see you, saying that you weren't in the room or at night. ”
Wu Xiaomei: "I went to find a job, and the place needs accommodation, but I've already said hello to them, and now I can go home." ”
Wu Xiaomei's father sneered, slammed the rosary on the table, stood up, and reprimanded in a reproachful tone: "I heard my mother say that you took a large silver ticket and made an accommodation at the police station, then the Su family just made a phone call, where did that silver ticket come from? Can you exchange your work for three days for so much wealth, or is it a ...... You ...... with the old man of the Su family."
The younger brother came in with tea, and he said with a random voice. Wu Xiaomei was surprised that she had only been out for three days, but she didn't expect her brother, who had always relied on her and looked up to her, to speak disrespectfully.
It seems that they have all doubted that they will not return home at night, and who knows, this is the only way for her to save her father in exchange for temporary peace.
"No, brother, you misunderstood, I haven't met much with the master of the Su family, it's just that I asked his acquaintances to ask someone for help, as for this money, I borrowed it. ”
"Sister, it's just that we're worried about you, you shouldn't think too much, by the way, my wife said that her cousin wants to meet you, he has a wife, and he lacks a concubine...... However, his family's bride price is very much, I don't know what you think, my father hopes that you will marry as soon as possible to help our family through this crisis, you see......"
"You, what are you going to do, Daddy, didn't you say before, let me know how to be reasonable, marry a big family, and be a formal wife?" Wu Xiaomei tried her best to hide herself, and also recalled her cold, arrogant, and unruly past. At that time, there were many young masters from big families in the vicinity, and she didn't care about them, she wouldn't easily like anyone, how could she think of such a situation now...... For the sake of the family, for the younger brother, for the father, but, in their eyes, it seems that now it is the word lack of money, which is to try to push themselves out and exchange this family.
Wu Xiaomei Fei also ran away, she didn't know what she just said, in short, she blindly shirked, so that her father's face changed, she returned to the room, she never drank, and began to drink.
But she never thought that her father would send two servants to her door to squat, as if he was afraid that she would escape.
No, her father wanted her to marry someone else, in this case, sooner or later she would be found to have a disgraceful affair with the painter, but there was no way, she had no choice at that time, so she packed her luggage overnight and escaped through the window of her room.
