Chapter 126 The Second Ending Jinjiang Official Version

Tao Jinrong has been relatively comfortable these days, but Jinzhan feels uneasy. When she sees her, her hands aren't hands, her feet aren't feet, she doesn't stand, and she doesn't sit, so she just walks around her.

Every time she saw Tao Jinrong, she felt sorry for her.

Oh my God, if she really came back because of her crying, then she really dragged her into the fire pit.

No one knew more about the conflicts between Tao Jinrong and Gu Shi than she did. Jinzhan also knew that their relationship was too fraught with conflict and that Gu Shi was not a good match for her.

But Jinzhan had no choice. She wanted to live and eat, so she had no choice but to live like this.

Jinzhan secretly made up her mind that if she continued to have an affair, no matter how many lovers she found, she would not care and would even help cover for her.

However, there has been little communication between Tao Jinrong and Gu Shi in the past few days. Whenever they meet each other, they are always unfamiliar and polite, saying hello and then walking away.

This strange sense of harmony made Jinzhan feel very strange.

She felt something was wrong. Hadn't you two been together by this time in the past?

What kind of evil idea is Gu Shi having in mind?

She sneaked up to Gu Shi, bowed, and pretended to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty... I told you a lot about the past, and finally persuaded the girl..."

This statement has no other meaning except to seek credit. More money, more money, and more money.

Gu Shi also understood:

"Monthly wages will double in the second half of the year."

After hearing these words, Jinzhan's guilt immediately dissipated.

Even if she wanted to bring them together, she didn't think she had the ability to do it. The money she received was the most important and tangible thing.

After returning to Beijing, Tao Jinrong moved into a small house and lived alone. Jinzhan followed her. To be honest, she was a little curious about who owned the house, so she asked:

"Girl, where did this house come from?"

"A Zhao's."

"Oh, your lover?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We've already prayed to heaven and earth and slept together, so he's my husband. Gu Shi and I are just mistresses."

Thinking of her monthly salary which would double in the second half of the year, Jinzhan wisely shut up.

Food, clothing and other necessities were all delivered to her, and she lacked nothing. A month passed in an uneventful manner. Jinzhan spent her days petting cats and fishing, and lived a very happy life.

Although she didn't know why Gu Shi had been so quiet these days, as long as he could be quiet it was a good thing. For her, the longer he was idle, the better.

However, she and Tao Jinrong both knew that Gu Shi would cause trouble sooner or later.

Tao Jinrong seemed to have nothing to do and was very bored, so he would take Jinzhan to the opera troupe every few days.

To be honest, the play was boring with its humming and humming sounds, and Tao Jinrong also found it very dull. But some movement was better than a dull silence, so he could only kill time by watching the play.

But for some reason today, the opera troupe has closed down.

Standing at the door of the troupe, Tao Jinrong sighed:

"It was a wasted trip."

There was a moon-white carriage parked not far away. Jinzhan looked at the carriage and felt that it looked strangely familiar.

The carriage lifted its curtain, and her eyes met the man inside. She instantly understood what he meant. Thinking of her monthly salary which would double in the second half of the year, she took Tao Jinrong and walked towards the carriage.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the carriage and pulled Tao Jinrong up. Before she could react, she was surrounded by a familiar fragrance. When she turned around, her eyes met Gu Shi's.

He seemed to have dressed up carefully today. His eyebrows were trimmed cleanly and neatly without any stray hairs. It was obvious that he had carefully groomed himself from head to toe.

The real ulterior motive is revealed...

Tao Jinrong cursed inwardly, wondering if she really couldn't see what he was up to.

"Lingchuan, it seems like you like watching plays recently?"

"First, don't call me that, and second, could you please let go of my hand?"

She lowered her head and saw that Gu Shi's hand was tightly clasped on her wrist. There was a layer of embossed blue veins on the jade-white back of his hand, uneven and uneven.

"Then what should I call you?"

Gu Shi completely ignored the second half of what she had just said.

"Just call me Tao Jinrong."

"All right."

Gu Shi seemed to have compromised, but in fact he still didn't let go of her hand. She was annoyed and disgusted, and pulled her hand back, but he held it even tighter.

"Are you very fond of an actor whose stage name is Zi Yan?"

"No, I just watched a few more of his plays. Besides, every decent script these days always casts Zi Yan as the protagonist, so I have to watch it."

She didn't know what Gu Shi suddenly asked her, so she just turned her face away and said:

"Actually, I don't really enjoy watching plays that much. I just want to kill time. It doesn't matter to me who plays the leading role."

Gu Shi's breathing became uncontrollably rapid, his brain was racing, and his heart was pounding.

Tao Jinrong's answer was beyond his expectations. What should he say next?

He should have said: Qin Sizhao's body is still warm, and you have already fallen for another actor... But it doesn't matter, if you like him, I can get him for you, as long as you are happy.

Or should I say: If you like someone, I will invite him to the palace to perform and watch it with you?

It seems that neither of them is suitable...

Her wrist was slender, with slightly protruding bones, which poked his palm. Gu Shi felt that his palm was sweating, which was very indecent.

His heart beat faster and faster...

She was wearing a turquoise dress today, without any makeup, looking very plain. Her eyelids seemed to not want to work, and were only slightly open, looking at him ambiguously.

Gu Shi bit his lower lip and asked:

"Do you like the fragrance I wear today?"

"It's like a brothel."

She pulled her hand back and pushed him away in frustration.

Gu Shijing used this despicable little trick. It was obvious that this fragrance was what they often used on the couch before. He wanted to use this familiar fragrance to evoke her familiar memories.

His trick exposed, he stared at her with resentment, wondering what he should say next...

Was he going to say, "Why, how come you are so familiar with brothels? Are you a regular there?"

It felt very inappropriate... If he spoke so recklessly, she would definitely be annoyed with him.

He simply held her hand, placed it on his chest, let her feel his clearly defined collarbone, and said:

"The brothel style is just for you to see... Can you accept it?"

"Don't come, don't come, stay away from me!"

She wanted to pull her hand back, but he held her down fiercely. She reached into his collar and felt the scar on his collarbone. A burst of pain made Gu Shi shudder. He hissed and said,

"Do you remember I have a scar here? It was pierced by your hairpin. Now I am returning your silver hairpin to you."

He pulled out a silver hairpin from his sleeve and put it into her palm.

"oh……"

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar silver hairpin, Tao Jinrong fell silent. She never thought that one day this silver hairpin would return to her hands.

"I'm lonely, can you keep me company?"

“…”

"Don't do anything else, just sit here with me for a while, just keep me company."

Gu Shi rested his chin on her shoulder and smelled the clean scent of soapberries on her body, which was completely different from the expensive and luxurious aromatherapy.

But his head leaned forward, and his hands were not honest either. He wrapped his arms around her thin body, hugged her tightly, and felt her body temperature.

"You call this doing nothing else?"

Although Tao Jinrong felt annoyed when being hugged like this, his body did have an indescribable reaction.

One of his hands began to wander around her waist... She couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her hand and slapped him.

Having been beaten, Gu Shi became even more unscrupulous and put his hand into her belt, but was kicked on the knee again. He had no choice but to withdraw his hand and said hesitantly:

"Sorry, I won't touch it anymore."

Tao Jinrong's face flushed, and she bit her bright red lips. She felt her pelvis and lower abdomen begin to swell, but the more this happened, the angrier she became. She slapped Gu Shi on the head twice, ruffling all his carefully styled hair.

Being beaten was also expected. Gu Shi only blocked it symbolically and tucked his loose hair behind his ears, showing an elegant posture.

Even if you get beaten, it can't be done ugly.

"Get lost!"

She cursed while adjusting her belt and getting off the carriage.

As soon as she went down, she saw Jinzhan's guilty face and sneaky look, and she immediately became furious. She frowned, pointed at her nose and cursed:

"You two have already colluded, right?"

Jinzhan knew that it was useless to explain further, so she shrank her neck and said timidly:

"Girl, I have no choice. After all, he is the one who pays me the monthly salary..."

She left angrily, and she had no choice but to follow her reluctantly.

At night, Tao Jinrong fell asleep alone, and felt more and more sore and uncomfortable. He tossed and turned, and had difficulty sleeping.

Holding it in like this might not be good for her health... She gritted her teeth and simply reached her hand under the quilt.

…

After it was over, Tao Jinrong felt dizzy and for no reason he thought of the triumphant smile on Gu Shi's lips, and he felt very angry.

Why is he so happy when she is so annoyed here?

He used such despicable means to seduce her, just to take a shortcut and find a sense of existence in her through this obscene way.

How can I make him unhappy?

Should she pretend to find another lover to make things worse for Gu Shi? This way, he would know that she didn't need him in any way.

The next day, she went to the opera troupe again, paid a separate fee, and sat in the box. She knew that Gu Shi's spies must be following her, and her every move would be reported to him by others.

But this is exactly what she wants.

Normally she would dress simply and not want to draw attention to herself, but today she dressed up nicely and looked quite dazzling.

After a play ended, the protagonist Zi Yan on the stage took off her makeup and walked down to greet each box with a smile.

When Zi Yan walked in, Tao Jinrong was stunned for a moment.

That person's eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Qin Sizhao... but after all, he had been living in a life of luxury for a long time, and his figure had a bit of frivolity, and his smile was a bit flattering, unlike Qin Sizhao's clear and simple expression.

She knew that Qin Sizhao was essentially a simple and upright person without too many ulterior motives, and had nothing to do with this kind of extraordinary and famous person.

To be honest, this feeling of being both like a person and not a person made Tao Jinrong feel a little disgusted.

But remembering that her purpose was not to really have anything happen with him, but to make things difficult for Gu Shi, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to smile:

"You look a lot like... an old friend of mine... I'll give this to you..."

She knew that this kind of actor only cared about money and would not look down on worthless things, so she gave him a small gold locket, walked up to him, and hung it around his neck with her own hands.

Zi Yan didn't expect that such a beauty would personally put a small golden lock on him. She was instantly flattered and her eyelashes trembled.

To be honest, this felt really awkward. Tao Jinrong took two steps back and turned his face away.

He whispered:

"If you're still unmarried, any contact with me would be detrimental to your reputation..."

Zi Yan is currently very popular. Two young ladies from wealthy families have fallen in love with him, and they were caught and beaten by their families.

"It's okay... My husband is dead..."

She is a wealthy and widowed young beauty... Zi Yan's eyes widened immediately, but acting according to circumstances had long become his instinct. Seeing the trace of sadness in her eyes, he also pretended to be sentimental and said:

"Madam, please come out as soon as possible. I'm afraid he in heaven doesn't want you to be too sad."

“Ah… um…”

She felt extremely strange talking about such things with this actor who looked at least 50% similar to Qin Sizhao. Tao Jinrong made up an excuse and left in a hurry.

She found a stall, bought a cup of sugarcane juice, and drank it in one gulp, not for anything else, just to cleanse her intestines.

It was really disgusting and she didn't want to come again.
