Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Chapter 123 "Deep Love and Rain"

Wang Xueqin was obviously stunned, and then she pretended to be calm and smiled: "Did you remember when Xinping died? Everyone in the Lu family knows that Xinping died of a lung disease."

"I know not. I don't want to do anything now, I just want to know the truth, and I don't want this to haunt me for the rest of my life. Even if you did it..."

"Me? You really think highly of me." Wang Xueqin interrupted her with a sneer, asked for a cigarette, puffed out the smoke, her voice was full of exhaustion, and even discouraged: "Why do you need to know? It's already a thing of the past. Back then All of them are dead."

"...I just want to know." Yiping knew that the answer might not be good, but if there is no answer to this question, it will never pass.

Wang Xueqin stopped persuading her. She finished smoking a cigarette, lit another, and said in a low voice, "Xinping did die of tuberculosis, a tuberculosis caused by a high fever, and she couldn't be cured. But...you should know, Lu Zhenhua has many sons and daughters. The one he loves the most is not the eldest son or the youngest daughter, but Xinping. Have you ever wondered why? The dozen or so sisters of you all have 'ping' in their names. Where did this 'ping' come from? here?"

"I didn't know it at first, but I accidentally discovered something. Lu Zhenhua dotes on Xinping the most, especially since Xinping was 12 years old, she can be said to be responsive, no one else can compare. At that time, I was still very favored, I have been with Lu Zhenhua for a long time, and I gradually discovered some clues. For example, sometimes he would call 'Pingping' with a picture of a young woman, and sometimes he would call 'Xinping' in his sleep. Ping's eyes are becoming more and more doting and gentle. Although he can hide it, I know that it is not the way a father looks at his daughter. What's more, any father would go to his daughter's room at night and touch her face, like Whispers like a lover's..."

"I planned to ask this 'Pingping' from Lieutenant Li. She is a princess and Lu Zhenhua's first love. Back then, Lu Zhenhua was just a stable boy, and they couldn't be together. Later, Lu Zhenhua went to earn a career, and when he came back, Pingping was gone. He committed suicide many years ago. This princess loves to ride horses and likes to wear red riding clothes. Lu Zhenhua, like collecting stamps, snatches women to be concubines. That Pingpinggege, heck, the high-sounding reason is just because I am young, beautiful and sensual. It is a pity that we women are only a part of it, and his daughter Xinping has similar facial features and charms to that Gege. You said, seeing the faces of former lovers dangling in front of your eyes all day long, and after Xinping's 15th birthday, people came to propose marriage, what will your father do?"

Yiping shuddered, her face turned pale.

"Xinping probably sensed it, maybe she discovered it. She started acting coquettishly, saying she was afraid of the dark, and made a fuss about sleeping with Fu Wenpei. As a mother, Fu Wenpei really didn't notice this? I don't think so, otherwise Xinping would be very happy." It's five, and as soon as they made a fuss about wanting to sleep together, she immediately agreed. She must also be afraid, afraid of guessing wrong, afraid of guessing right, and afraid of being found out."

"...Two days before Xinping's illness, Lu Zhenhua's head was injured. He was fine the day before, but when he woke up, the injury was added. He said that he tripped over a stool at night. It was a clumsy lie. Ping went out to ride a horse, and the rain poured down. She was found. She was soaked, had a fever, and her face was red. Others thought she was playful, but I guessed at that time that she did it on purpose. Yes. As for Lu Zhenhua, he was also interested, first he punished his servants, and then angered Fu Wenpei and the eldest wife, turned the house upside down, and Xinping fell into a coma, so she was sent to the hospital."

No matter how subjective Wang Xueqin's words are, the cause of Xinping's death is already clear.

When Yiping walked out of the prison, she was in a daze, and walked to the newspaper office without knowing it.

"Yiping, why are you here? Why is your face so ugly?" Du Fei was surprised and happy when he saw her.

Yiping smiled and said, "I just miss you."

"Oh, Du Fei, you can do it. When did you have such a beautiful girlfriend? It's really enviable." The colleagues in the newspaper had already seen Yiping, and now they heard Yiping's words, joke up.

Du Fei smiled foolishly, but his heart was warm. He grabbed Yiping's hand and walked out: "I just finished writing the manuscript, and it's getting late. Let's have dinner first, and then send you home to rest. You are too late When you are tired, don’t hold on all the time, if it is tense, people will not be able to bear it.”

Although Du Fei is very nagging, Yiping is not annoying at all. She is afraid of being alone, and it is a kind of happiness and enjoyment to have someone always nagging in your ear.

Yiping said: "Du Fei, are your parents willing to come to Shanghai? If they are willing, please bring them here. I think the situation is getting worse and worse. Even Xiao Wuye plans to go abroad in the future. There is a concession here in Shanghai, so it should be It’s better than your hometown, and you can rest assured that your parents are by your side.”

"I want to pick them up too, but it's hard to leave my homeland, and besides... there's no place to live." Du Fei's monthly salary is limited, so he really can't afford to rent a big house, not to mention that his parents are here and he has nothing to do, and he is afraid of raising them. Sorry.Although my family is a grocery store, the local consumption is not as high as in Shanghai, and relatives and old friends are there, and my parents are comfortable staying there.

Another one, Du Fei felt that once a war started, as long as it was on the country, it would be the same everywhere.

Du Fei stopped suddenly, with hesitation on his face, he hesitated to speak: "Yiping..."

Yiping looked at him suspiciously, pretending to be impatient and urged: "Speak up if you have something to say!"

"I, I want to go to the front line." Du Fei had this plan before, and he didn't leave because he was worried because of successive accidents in Lu's family.Now that he has established a relationship with Yiping and has concerns, it is even more difficult to make decisions without authorization, but he really wants to go to the front line. Even if he is a reporter, he can still use his ability to contribute to the resistance against Japan.

Du Fei has always been a very enthusiastic person, and Yiping is not surprised that he has such ambitions and plans.Yiping didn't want him to go in her heart. On the battlefield, the gunfire had no eyes, and she had a narrow escape, she was afraid...

"Go, I'll wait for you to come back!" In the end, Yiping still supported him, because everyone is responsible for the country's troubles, and she didn't go to the battlefield by herself, at least she couldn't hinder Du Fei.The world is too chaotic, and she also hopes that the war can end as soon as possible and she can live a stable life.

He Shuhuan followed them out from the newspaper office, watched them from a distance along the way, and finally became disheartened.

The feeling of not being able to love is really painful, especially when the person he loves finally chooses his best friend, he can hardly face Du Fei, he is afraid that he will lose control and do something terrible.Until now, he has no choice but to bury this feeling, he still has Ruping, Ruping loves him so much, he can't let her down.

However, the parents of the family heard about the Lu family's affairs, and refused to agree with him to associate with Ruping.

He is very distressed.

Mengping is [-] years old and has no work experience and no diploma. It is not difficult to find a job, because she is young and beautiful, but it is not easy to find a serious job.Mengping said she was going out to make money, but in fact they were not short of money after selling the house, she just wanted to escape from home, because as long as she saw Erjie who was stupid, she would think of the past of the Lu family, the present of the Lu family, the world has been turned upside down She really couldn't bear the differences, the secrets and the tragedy.

In the end, Mengping worked as a waitress in a cafe. The salary was not high, the work was not heavy, and the working hours were very regular.Mengping's successful application is due to her proficiency in English.The children of their Lu family were wealthy and well-bred, and their upbringing was natural and meticulous. Yiping can easily cover English songs and play the piano. Besides Mengping's love of dancing, English is also a basic skill, and everyone has learned it.

There are many foreign customers in the cafe, so knowing English is naturally an advantage.

Seeing that she was looking for a serious job, Ruping acquiesced.Ruping knew that she felt uncomfortable, and maybe it would be better to stay outside for a while, and she herself found a job as a tutor, not teaching Chinese, but teaching English.She kept A Lan and Zhou Ma, the former servants of the Lu family, and the driver A Li fired.Originally, according to their situation, it was enough to have a servant to take care of Erjie, but Zhou's mother has no relatives and has been working in the Lu family for five years. Alan can't find a job for the time being. No salary.How can Ruping have the heart, what's more, she is the last thing she wants to face separation. Even if Zhou Ma and Alan are servants, she still hopes that everyone can stay together forever.

The house that Ruping rented was a small courtyard, and the entrance was a small courtyard. There were six rooms in the main house and side rooms. Although the area was not large, it was possible for them to live together.The rent here is reasonable and relatively safe.

This day when Ruping came home, she saw someone coming from the house: "Shuhuan?"

"Ruping, I bought a train ticket for tomorrow, and I'm going back to Nanjing." He Shuhuan came to her specially because the family wanted him to go back, and from time to time he mentioned Yahui from Uncle Sun's family in his ear. He realized what the family meant, but He doesn't want to.He ran away from home at the beginning, and it was only this year that he got in touch with his family more, but it didn't mean he was willing to compromise with his family.

"Back to Nanjing..." Ruping has always been at a disadvantage in this relationship, she clutched the bag in her hand nervously, not daring to guess what he meant.

He Shuhuan said: "Ruping, I want to take you back to Nanjing to meet my parents."

Ruping breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded vigorously.

This trip to Nanjing made Ruping extremely nervous.

He's father is a diplomat, and their house is not as luxurious as the Lu family's previous home, but this place does not have enough status to live in.As soon as she came to the He family, Ruping was sensitive to the difference between the He family and the Lu family, or in other words, the difference in class.No matter how rich the Lu family used to be, they were just rich people. Lu Zhenhua's era of warlords has long passed. There were many warlords in those years, most of which disappeared in a blink of an eye.The He family is a real scholarly family, a family of high-ranking officials, rigorous and old-fashioned. Standing in the living room, Ruping feels so humble and insignificant, even the servants look at her with critical scrutiny.

In the past, He Shuhuan seldom talked about family affairs. It was only on the train to Nanjing that she really knew how the He family existed.

He Shuhuan was not the biological son of He's father and He's mother, he was adopted, and He's father was originally his uncle.He grew up in front of He's father since he was a child, and he already has blood relatives, so he naturally has a very good relationship, and he admires He's father very much.However, a few years ago, Father He signed some treaties with the Japanese, and He Shuhuan was very irritated. He could not face Father He who had compromised with the invaders, so he fled the He family and went to Shanghai alone to work as a reporter.

"This is Ms. Lu? You've come from a long way. It's been a hard journey. Please sit down." Mother He is a gentle and gentle woman, and her words are very polite and thoughtful, but she is too polite, showing indifference and alienation.

Mother He only expressed condolences for the changes in her family, and didn't mention anything else, let alone ask about her own situation.If she is really recognized as He Shuhuan's girlfriend, it will never be like this.

But Ruping can't complain, she has to show the best posture and etiquette, lest she lose face.

At this time, the servant came over and said, "Madam, Miss Yahui is here."

Mother He immediately pulled He Shuhuan up with a smile, and walked towards the door while talking: "Ya Hui is so happy to know you are back, and you have not seen each other for a long time, it is time to catch up."

He Shuhuan just smiled and didn't refute. He looked back at Ruping who was standing awkwardly, and stretched out his hand to her: "Come on, let me introduce a friend to you. Sun Yahui is the daughter of Uncle Sun's family in the Executive Yuan. Our two families know each other for two years." It has been 30 years, and she has studied abroad, and I heard that it is very trendy now.”

"Shuhuan!" A car stopped outside the gate, and a bright and striking young girl got out of the car, wearing a water-blue dress, and as soon as she got out of the car, she ran towards He Shuhuan and gave him a warm hug.

Mother He laughed and joked at the side, her voice was intimate, completely different from when she was talking to Ruping just now.

Ruping watched He Shuhuan talking with Sun Yahui, those were all the past she had never participated in, she felt a little sad, but she told herself not to care.Who hasn't been there?She cannot participate in the past, but she can participate in the present and the future.

The He family was very polite and considerate to her, but from the beginning, she clearly felt that she was an outsider, especially seeing Sun Yahui and the three of the He family getting along naturally, she found it more and more difficult to blend in.

How could she give up so easily after she persisted for so long?

Shuhuan came back on the weekend and could only stay for two days. In these two days, he said that he would take her on a tour of Nanjing, which should have been beautiful and romantic, but there was an extra Sun Yahui with him.Those two chatted very happily, even though Shuhuan would not forget her, she still became more and more silent.

She found that Shuhuan didn't know how to refuse.

He father, mother, Sun Yahui, their performance is so obvious, does Shuhuan really not know?No, he knew, and he comforted her in private, saying that he only regarded Sun Yahui as a friend, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he only stayed in Nanjing for two days, and everyone was just catching up.She also didn't want his relationship with the family to be too rigid, so she didn't say anything, everything was in front of her eyes, and Shuhuan didn't change her mind, so what was she fussing about?

However, she underestimated Sun Yahui's intelligence and overestimated her own ability to bear it.

When the three of them were together, everyone thought that the two were in a relationship. Sun Yahui acted very intimately in many ways, but she behaved so generously that it was difficult for others to criticize her.Ruping doesn't care about anything else, she only cares about Shuhuan's heart, she found that Shuhuan has always been very calm, very gentle to Sun Yahui, worried, helpless, joking and joking, indeed there is no love between men and women, but these are in Sun Yahui's eyes , or in the eyes of He father and mother, what does it mean?

Ruping is different from before, the Lu family is gone, the gap between her and Shuhuan is too big, she hopes that Shuhuan will be serious and firm in their relationship, so that she can be more strong, but...

When she left Nanjing, she asked Shuhuan: "When will we get engaged?"

"Wait a little longer, my parents may not understand you yet." Obviously, He's father and mother disagreed with their matter.

As a result, within a few days after returning to Shanghai, Sun Yahui also arrived in Shanghai, and lived in the suite opposite Shuhuan.Ruping felt the crisis, but she had no choice but to watch Shuhuan and Sun Yahui getting closer, but their time together was getting less and less.

That day she went to find Shuhuan, and found Shuhuan was in Yahui's room opposite, the door was open, she heard Shuhuan's voice, and when she opened the door, she saw the two hugging each other.Yahui was crying, and Shuhuan kept comforting her, the pity and tenderness in his voice made Ruping fall into an ice cave.

"Ruping?" The two separated immediately, a flash of nervousness flashed in Shuhuan's eyes, and he calmed down quickly.

Back in Shuhuan's room, Ruping asked him calmly: "Shuhuan, do you like Yahui?"

"Ruping, don't get me wrong, I was just comforting her just now, she was crying very sadly, I just wanted to heal her tears." Shuhuan immediately explained.

Ruping didn't know how she reacted in the past, but now she felt very tired after hearing this: "Shuhuan, I am your girlfriend, you are wise and Yahui likes you, your parents want to match you, why do you Not being able to keep a little distance from her? It makes me very insecure."

"Ruping..."

"Shuhuan, answer me, can you only care about me? Leave Yahui alone." Ruping looked at him expectantly.

Shuhuan felt that these words seemed familiar. He was still dazed and honest: "Ruping, I can't do it. When I see her crying, I feel worried and sad. I don't want her to be sad. I... Ruping, you trust me, this will not affect our relationship."

"How could it not be affected?" Ruping burst into tears, she remembered what Du Fei had advised her at the beginning, now it seems that she is really confused.She lay on Shuhuan's shoulder and cried for a long time, as if her voice was hoarse, but Shuhuan's consolation failed to leave the slightest trace in her heart.In the end, she backed away from Shuhuan's arms, looked at the man in front of her who had fascinated her through her teary eyes, and finally said, "Shuhuan, let's break up."

Shuhuan was shocked: "Ruping, why? Don't get me wrong."

Ruping shook her head: "It's not a misunderstanding or jealousy, I'm just tired. I've experienced too many changes, I just want to settle down and live a peaceful and peaceful life. You can't give me this kind of life, you will always be so soft-hearted , very gentle to everyone, reluctant to hurt anyone, but I want someone to stand firm by my side, only guarding me."

Shuhuan was silent, he didn't force her to stay, and he didn't make much excuses, maybe, he didn't love Ruping that much.

Seeing his silence, Ruping burst into tears again, and said with a smile: "Shuhuan, no matter who you will be with in the future, don't waver anymore, a girl's heart can be very broad, but it can also be narrow."

Ruping heard about Shuhuan again, and it was from Yiping.

It was already May of the following year, when Yiping and Du Fei got married, Ruping went to the wedding banquet.The wedding banquet was very simple, and the guests who came were also simple, but everyone came with sincerity and blessings.

Ruping came with her boyfriend, Shi Lei, who was her blind date last year.They met again by chance, Shi Lei's father passed away last year, a Japanese made trouble in the bank, Shi's father and two employees died in the conflict, Shi's mother was stimulated, and her spirits were not very good.After recuperation, Mother Shi's spirit gradually improved, and she secretly expressed the hope that they would get married soon.

The dancer Er Hao met at the beginning was pregnant, gave birth to a child and left behind, and Er Hao came here today to hold the child.

Shuhuan didn't come.

Yiping told her: "Shuhuan can't come. According to Du Fei, Shuhuan's leg is broken."

It turned out that Shuhuan was engaged to Sun Yahui last year, but later he backed out. Seeing that he was about to run back to Shanghai, Sun Yahui drove over him in anger and shame. His life was not harmed, but his legs were broken, and he could only spend his days in a wheelchair .Sun and He's family were still married, which was fine at first, but in March of this year, Sun Yahui left Nanjing without saying goodbye and went abroad.Du Fei once went to see Shuhuan, but now He Shuhuan's complexion is pale, thin, irritable, and drunk, and he no longer has the spirited and personable manner he used to.

Besides them, Tao Shuobai and Qin Feng also came today.

Qin Feng told Yiping: "Your contract with Dashanghai will end at the end of June. Qin Wuye has already transferred Dashanghai to someone else, and I will go abroad next month. The person who takes over is doing well. He told Bai Meigui You are very welcome, if you still want to sing, you can re-sign the contract with him."

"Going abroad?" Yiping glanced at Tao Shuobai who was beside him, and asked out of nowhere, "Mr. Tao is also going abroad together?"

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.

Yiping looked at the eyes of the two people looking at each other, with tenderness lingering in the plain, and suddenly understood.She noticed that they had a pair of very similar black jade rings on their fingers. There seemed to be some faint patterns engraved on the surface of the rings, which lined their hands without feeling awkward at all.

This pair of rings was given to Tao Shuobai by Qin Feng last year. Two or three plum blossoms are engraved on the ring surface, which is not obvious on the black ring, but when the ring is illuminated, the moist brilliance of the black jade will appear. The silhouette of the peach blossom comes.

"I wish you all the best of luck." Yiping turned her head to look at Du Fei, who was warmly welcoming the guests, and smiled.
