Previous life, 2010.
When Shi Zirui landed at the airport, she saw the brothers who had come to pick her up standing in a circle. Each of them was neatly dressed. If it were just one or two of them, they could be considered successful business people conducting business negotiations. But when there were ten of them lined up in a row, standing there holding signs, it seemed a bit mysterious, unpredictable, and a bit scary.
She untied the suitcase and asked the brothers to help take it away. Then, frowning, she said, "Didn't the boss order us not to put on such a show starting this year? Besides, I haven't retired from the bureau yet and I'm still an official. Are you doing this because you're afraid others won't have any objections?"
The leading young man was Wei Xuesong. After being scolded, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. He smiled with shame and said, "Brother Li told us not to be so domineering and act like evil and low-class hooligans. Maybe we misunderstood. I won't dare to do it again next time. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Shi Zirui waved her hand and said, "Put down the sign, let these brothers go first, and leave two with me."
"Yes." Wei Xuesong gave a wink, and the others withdrew, leaving him and a trusted brother to lead her into the car.
Shi Zirui looked out the window at the changing scenery and sighed, "What's going on back home? I'm still on a business trip. They've got me back urgently on a government mission, and I can't get any definite information over the phone. If this gets too much, I'm afraid they'll have something to say about it."
Wei Xuesong smiled awkwardly. He didn't dare to respond to this topic and said, "Family matters, family matters. We, as younger brothers, don't dare to ask too much. I heard that the situation is quite serious. We are all rough and tumble people. If there is no one in charge at home, it will be a mess.
You know, this is something you have to handle. It's not a good idea for outsiders like us to get involved. Logically, we shouldn't even know about it, but it would make too much noise."
Shi Zirui understood immediately after hearing it. It was another mess of those men and women having affairs. She felt annoyed.
She didn't even have a man, yet she had to squat behind them every day, cleaning up the mess of love affairs and cheating. From the first time, there were countless times. Who was at fault first? It didn't matter in this kind of family. She knew she was a little numb.
This time will probably be like countless times before, with much thunder but little rain.
......
......
When she arrived at the Wang family's villa, Shi Zirui realized that she had misjudged the situation.
Looking at the mess in the yard, Shi Zirui took a deep breath, maintaining a calm expression, and directed the servants lined up outside, "Sweep away the glass shards and garbage, take out the broken chairs, and then connect the water pipes to flush the cracks between the floor and the wall. Don't leave any dirt behind."
How do you usually clean? Don't want to do it anymore? Get moving. Don't force me to scold you. You know the consequences."
Everyone was silent, cleaning up. She walked upstairs and saw the same chaotic scene after the smashing and looting, but she didn't hear any quarreling. She quietly peeked inside and didn't see Wang Kai or Zhong Yinhua, but there was a figure sitting at the dining table, quietly and silently.
She quietly opened the half-closed door and saw the man's face clearly. She sighed silently, walked up, bowed and said, "Good afternoon, Miss."
Wang Jinling was wearing a school uniform and did not respond, but just stared blankly ahead.
Directly in front of her, a machete was stuck straight into the wood of the dining table. This made Shi Zirui feel cold all over. A family conflict had actually involved a knife. What on earth had happened? She subconsciously wanted to remove the obvious threat stuck in the table, but Wang Jinling suddenly spoke up, saying, "I took out the knife."
Shi Zirui paused, looking at Wang Jinling in confusion. "What does this mean? Why is it so serious this time? Do you know what happened?"
She was cautious, but Wang Jinling didn't seem to care. Instead, she had an odd air of relief. "It's not that simple. Beating the adulterer, catching the adulterer, someone might even get killed. But, I guess what you want to ask is, this kind of shit was fine before, why is there such a big fuss this time?"
Shi Zirui bowed again and said, "Exactly, I don't know..."
She left it blank on purpose, but Wang Jinling didn't mind. She smiled and said, "Because in the past, Zhong Yinhua was very smart, very secretive, and low-key. Wang Kai had no evidence, so no matter how much he argued, he would just grab clues and make unreasonable demands. This time is different.
The adulterer had the audacity to compile a collection of the photos and stuff it into an envelope. He probably wanted to satisfy his male desire to conquer not only Zhong Yinhua but also Wang Kai. However, he ended up making things worse. Something went wrong, and somehow Wang Kai saw it.
"Think about it, is that the kind of humiliation a man can endure?"
Shi Zirui listened and agreed with her, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. How could someone in the world cheat on Wang Kai and be stupid enough to do something that could give others a handle? Even if Wang Kai knew about it, how could he let this thing be known to everyone, even his own daughter heard about it?
This is not normal.
Wang Jinling continued, "Not to mention, the adulterer even sent me a watch through Zhong Yinhua as a token of his affection."
Shi Zirui looked at Wang Jinling until a smile appeared on the face of this young lady. She felt a chill and suddenly trembled. No, no... Could it be that she was the one who was interfering?
"I told you, I pulled out the knife because it was right here." Wang Jinling said strangely, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Shi Zirui took a deep breath and felt something sticky in her throat, making it impossible for her to utter a single word. After a long while, she spoke with great reluctance, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you're a smart person to ask that," Wang Jinling's smile widened. She said, "If someone else came, they might ask why I did this. I'm very satisfied."
"You said that on purpose for me to hear?" Shi Zirui asked in confusion.
"Yes, I know you're overwhelmed. I know you're still under the oppression of Li Ze and Wang Kai. You're an outlier in this huge Wang family system. You're a woman, educated, capable, and capable," Wang Jinling said. "And I know you'll come back to deal with these things, so I came to you."
"Now, I'm going to ask you a very simple question. How long do you think Li Ze has been coveting you? How long do you think you can remain a virgin in this world dominated by them?"
"Let me ask you, how much is the wealth you've accumulated working for them so far worth in this system?"
