Chapter 177 The Counselor's Collapse
"It's done." said the waitress in the hot pot restaurant.
After taking the photo, she said in a very low voice, as if she was afraid that people at other tables would hear her: "Handsome guy, beautiful girl, you two are the most photogenic guests I have photographed today."
"Here's the photo." She handed it over.
"Thank you." Cheng Zhu took it.
The photos taken with a Polaroid camera will not appear immediately, so many people choose to shake the photos with their hands a few times, as if this will make them appear faster.
Cheng Zhu has always felt that this is the most interesting part of taking photos with a Polaroid camera.
Slowly watch the picture emerge on the photo bit by bit, from partial to whole, from blurry to clear.
He was not in a hurry to sit back opposite him. The two of them sat on the same bench in the hot pot restaurant and watched the scene in the photo emerge little by little.
Then, the problem arises.
They are not husband and wife, nor are they a couple living together who can take a photo back to their common home.
Now there is only one photo, who should I give it to?
Undoubtedly, Shen Qingning has not thought of this yet.
She was now staring at the photo with interest, watching the image emerge bit by bit.
Obviously, she also found this process interesting.
Even when looking at the group photo, there was a little strange emotion spreading in my heart.
It seemed that it was not the things in the photo that were emerging and spreading little by little, but her inner world.
Cheng Zhu in the photo also looks a bit ruffian, after all, he was still doing mischief and making funny moves when taking the photo.
Shen Qingning lacked some of the coldness in reality.
She looked at Cheng Zhu's hand that was placed behind her head, and for some reason, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Cheng Zhu was watching her from the side, and at this time he slowly said, "Do you want to take this photo or should I take it?"
"Huh?" Shen Qingning turned her head to look at him, and then she realized that there was only one photo.
This hot pot restaurant is really stingy.
She wanted this photo badly.
She didn't think too much about it at the moment. If there was an extra photo of her with a boy in her house, she might have to find a place to hide it and not leave it openly.
"Forget it, I'll give it to you." Cheng Zhu said directly.
If it were just that, it would just be passing, and it would just give the girl one more photo of herself in her home.
How could Cheng Zhu be satisfied with just this?
Therefore, he must take some action to create an ambiguous atmosphere.
When Shen Qingning was about to put the photos away and put them in his bag, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
The cold girl was slightly stunned, not knowing what he was going to do.
He picked up his phone, quickly turned on the camera function, and then took a picture of the photo in her hand and her left hand holding the photo.
After doing all this, he stood up leisurely and sat back opposite Shen Qingning.
After finishing a hot pot meal, Cheng Zhu smelled his clothes after paying the bill and muttered, "Tsk, it smells like hot pot."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingning also raised her arm and sniffed the clothes slightly.
“You and your aunt should have come in the same car this afternoon,” he said to Shen Qingning.
"Yeah." She nodded.
This means that she no longer has a car, as it has been driven away by Wang Yusan.
“Auntie said she was coming to pick me up, but she didn’t go home either. She was just busy with something around here.” Shen Qingning said.
"That's fine."
"And you?"
"Me? I came here on my electric scooter." Cheng Zhu smiled.
This made Shen Qingning think of that night with the evening breeze.
After the two parted, Shen Qingning got into Wang Yushan's car.
"Have you eaten hot pot?" Wang Yushan said to Shen Qingning.
“Yeah, there’s a smell all over my body.” Shen Qingning replied.
"Then go back and wash your hair and take a bath."
"Um."
As a stepmother, although she and Shen Qingning usually get along like friends, she didn't talk much or ask much, nor did she mention Cheng Zhu specifically.
Wang Yusan always felt that Ningning was a very opinionated person.
She should also be able to clearly understand her own emotional life.
If she wants to talk to me about something, she is definitely willing to listen and talk.
But if the other party doesn't have this plan, she won't ask too many questions.
Of course, she was actually very curious.
After the white Porsche Cayenne drove to the parking space at home, the young mother and daughter went back to their rooms.
Shen Qingning walked into her bedroom and put the bag in her hand on her side of the bag wall.
Her dressing room is very spacious, with more than twenty compartments on one wall, all for bags.
But before that, she took out the Polaroid photo as soon as possible.
The cool girl looked down at the photo and saw Cheng Zhu's funny hand behind her. For some reason, she walked to the full-length mirror in the cloakroom, imitated his movements, and made a "yeah" sign on her head.
"Silly." She complained softly, but there was a faint smile on her face.
But for a moment, she was a little confused and didn't know where to put the photos.
She tore off a piece of paper, placed the photo inside it, folded it, and wrapped it up, just like putting a letter in an envelope.
"I'll use her as a bookmark," she thought.
Shen Qingning opened the romantic novel that she hadn't finished reading yet, took out the exquisite bookmark inside, and replaced it with this simple bookmark.
She sat at the table, a little distracted by her new bookmark.
"I even took a photo of the group photo with my phone."
"I don't know what he means."
On the other side, Cheng Zhu rode his electric scooter back home.
After arriving home, he chatted with Liu Jiani for a few minutes and then said that he had something to do.
What a joke. What's so great about having big breasts? She asked me to appreciate the new models she designed right away.
I can't quite understand your design.
He had nothing to do, so he checked his circle of friends.
Then I saw my class counselor Chen Jieyu shared an English song.
Cheng Zhu has heard this song before. It is a more emo song and sounds quite depressing.
"It's only what time in the evening and you're already late?" He complained a little.
"Didn't she say she would go back to her hometown during the National Day holiday? She also promised me to give her brother a good scolding."
"Her original family seems to have some problems. I don't know if anything happened in the past few days." The creditor thought to himself.
In fact, Concubine Chen has indeed experienced a lot in these few days.
She returned home on October 2nd.
After returning home, her mother was still the same as usual, asking her about her well-being and how she was living alone in Hangzhou.
My father was still the same, except that this time I helped the family a lot, so his attitude was a little better than usual. He even took the initiative to pick up some food for me at the dinner table.
Chen Jieyu was born in a family that extremely favored boys over girls. Her mother was relatively better, but her father and grandparents were particularly serious in this regard.
It is actually very sad for a girl to grow up in such a family.
All of this is reflected not only in life, but also in spiritual persecution.
Chen Jieyu was actually quite glad that they finally got what they wanted. Her mother had been hiding to give birth to a second child, and in the end, she gave birth to a younger brother.
Fortunately, it was a boy.
This is good, as they won't continue to scold my mother in front of me, accusing her of not being able to give birth to a son, which indirectly makes me feel their disgust and hatred for me.
Oh, by the way, actually before this, I had already had an abortion.
She remembers clearly that when she went to pay the fine for having a second child, her father and grandparents were all smiling. When neighbors asked how much she paid, her father smiled and said, "It's a good thing I paid this much!"
And she was nothing more than a money-loser in their eyes.
In addition, her father was an alcoholic and sometimes would beat people when he was drunk.
Both she and her mother were beaten, but her brother never was.
When she was a child, Chen Jieyu didn't understand why he beat people, but her mother didn't divorce him.
But as she grew up, she understood more and more, and after seeing more and more examples on the Internet, she gradually understood some things.
There are many couples like this in the world.
Human nature is complex, indeed.
Sometimes she feels that she is quite complicated, very complicated.
Speaking of which, Concubine Chen did not have much dislike for her younger brother Chen Qi.
In her heart, her brother was not a bad person by nature. He just took it for granted that he was favored by his family.
He still had some basic respect for his sister. He liked to cling to her when they were little, and would even protect her when he was beaten.
This is also the main reason why she was willing to help him solve the 60,000 yuan problem.
But she still hasn't listened to the views her grandparents instilled in her since she was a child. Later she realized that if she really lived the way they said, she would be the kind of brother-supporting demon that people on the Internet talk about.
She can lend a helping hand at critical moments, but she can never live for him!
In recent years, Chen Jieyu's life has actually become a little better.
Because she had a respectable job that her family could show off to others.
For someone from a small place, it is indeed very respectable to be able to work in a university in a big city like Hangzhou.
Another thing is that I am indeed beautiful, or rather, in their eyes, this is not called beautiful, but exquisite?
They firmly believe that they can find a good family to marry into and that they can sell themselves well.
Little did people know that she had never thought of getting married. She was an extremely determined non-marriageist.
She also didn't want to have the experience of being "sold" in her life, which would make her feel more humble and have no self-esteem.
As she gets older, they keep saying that she is an old maid and that she is less valuable as she gets older.
When she returned home on October 2, she actually had a small emotional breakdown.
The reason was simple. Her younger brother Chen Qi was not at home and had gone out to play.
She borrowed 50,000 yuan from Cheng Zhu, and in the next period of time, she would have to pay him 4,000 yuan every month. She would live an extremely difficult life in Hangzhou and had to live frugally.
The reason for this is that he hit someone on his motorcycle!
However, the instigator went out to play happily during the holidays.
She remembered that when she was a child, she accidentally broke something and was slapped hard in the face.
It's a waste of money.
But it’s different for my baby son, he can still go out and travel and spend money.
Today, Chen Qi is back from traveling.
As soon as he got home, he saw Concubine Chen sitting in the living room.
"Sister, where are mom and dad?" he asked.
"Playing cards." Concubine Chen said calmly, "Mom went shopping."
"Is it fun?" She looked up and suddenly asked Chen Qi.
"It's fun! Going out to play is more fun if you go with friends. It's so boring to go with family!" said Chen Qi.
"You're still in the mood to go out and have fun after hitting someone?" Chen Jieyu asked, "You don't feel burdened after paying so much money, right? Why are you still spending money to go out and travel?"
"What are you talking about? I did hit someone accidentally. That idiot didn't even look at the road. What can I do?"
"And the compensation is only over 800 yuan, which is not a lot, right?"
