Chapter 108

Wu Ming's wound became inflamed and he had to stay in the hospital for infusion. Lin Wei stayed overnight until the fever subsided.

Lin Wei asked for leave from the school the next day.

"Are you going back to class?" Lin Wei asked Mu Tong about her future plans while drinking the bird's nest porridge sent by Zhang's mother.

Mu Tong shook her head and said, "I don't know -"

She wanted to be free, but once she was free, she didn't know what she could do?

In these years, all her energy has been put on Chu Aidong.

From the initial admiration to the current fear, all her emotions were related to Chu Aidong.

Now she is also afraid of when Chu Aidong will take her back.

She didn't dare to go back to school...

"There's something I've never told anyone," Mu Tong stirred the porridge in his hand with a spoon, tightening his fingers slightly, and the expression on his face became a little obscure, "I have... ...Chu Aidong..."

She seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and took a deep breath before continuing: "I almost expressed my love to him..."

She had liked Chu Aidong, when she was fifteen years old, and she had feelings for him. Respected and admired, he is elegant, gentle, attentive and thoughtful, and can always see her dilemma. Every time Chu Yingshao bullies her, he will make the decision for her, gentle and modest, with clear rewards and punishments.

At that time, Chu Aidong was so majestic and tall to her, and she felt that she would never be able to reach a man in her life.

So many people admire him and please him, but he always has a calm, distant and gentle attitude, which makes people unpredictable.

She almost confessed her love, she prepared cards, cakes, and made wooden butterflies.

As a result, the second mother discovered it and smashed the gift she prepared into pieces.

She could never forget those harsh words.

The second mother called her a little bitch who seduced men, a little slut, said she had embarrassed her parents, said she was shameless and so despicable that she should be strangled to death after she was born.

That unspeakable shame tortured her day and night.

Thinking about it now, it feels like a nightmare.

How much I loved it before, now I feel so disgusted.

This has become a past that she is ashamed to mention. Whenever Chu Aidong reaches out to her, touches her cheek intentionally or unintentionally, and holds her hand, she can't help but want to vomit.

She never mentioned this to anyone else.

But it was like a sharp thorn stuck in her heart, coming out to torture her from time to time. She didn't dare to think about it, couldn't forget it, she just wanted to leave and start over somewhere where no one knew her.

Mu Tong endured the embarrassment and said this. She was afraid that she would drown in that kind of despair...

and Lin Wei seemed to be a good person to talk to. She didn't know why she felt this way. It was like an instinct. The other party will not embarrass her.

But after she waited for a while, Lin Wei never gave her any feedback.

She lowered her head and smiled faintly. What can anyone say?

Are you saying she asked for it? She has a great life, but she likes an old man.

Maybe Lin Wei had begun to regret saving her...

After a while, she couldn't help it anymore and raised her head and looked towards Lin Wei.

Lin Wei was found picking green onions from the porridge.

Yuan Yujun likes to add chopped green onion to everything she cooks, and she even asks her mother to follow suit.

Mu Tong said hesitantly: "Did you hear what I just said?"

"What's wrong?" Lin Wei didn't even look at her and continued the movement of her hands, "Isn't this normal? You are a little girl. I have seen a few men, and there are idiots like Chu Yingshao for comparison. An orphan girl who lives under the shelter of others. If someone in the family bullies you casually, and he shows up as a savior, you will not be able to help but be grateful to him. I heard about the suspension bridge effect. Have you ever? It’s just a heart-pounding illusion that deceives the heart, like a hero rescuing a beauty, taking gratitude and the joy of the rest of his life as love.”

Lin Wei said lightly: “You are normal, but he is shameless and takes advantage. What's wrong with your age and lack of experience to seduce you?"

Mu Tong's eyes widened. She looked at Lin Wei, hot tears dripped into the bowl and fell on the back of her hands. Her sour and unbearable emotions could no longer be controlled. , tears are like broken beads.

Lin Wei spoke in a gentle tone: "It must be despicable temptation and coercion between an adult and a minor. There is no third explanation. Even if they are adults, if the age difference between the two exceeds ten years, it should involve moral disputes. It is necessary to examine whether one party has any Taking advantage of the other party's lack of experience, unequal power, and information asymmetry to deceive and coerce. "

Lin Wei doesn't fall in love now, firstly because she doesn't have the heart, and secondly because she also has such considerations.

She was reborn, and the large information gap made her experience much higher than that of ordinary people. She was bound to have some aura around her, such as the Heimlich maneuver. If Fu Wenfan expressed his affection for her because of this, she didn't think so. This is love.

If she accepted it with peace of mind, she would be suspected of "victory without force".

Without these "experiences", would she still be an outstanding individual in the eyes of others?

This is difficult to comment on.

"You are very smart. You can wake up quickly and find ways to save yourself. This is already better than many people who are still kept in the dark."

Lin Wei thought that Mu Tong in the previous life probably asked Shi Jingchen for help.

That's why Shi Jingchen in the previous life told her that Mu Tong needed him more.

"Tangtang...Actually, you are not as fragile as you thought. You were just lazy and hid your strong self."

Lin Wei took a deep breath and put the selected porridge back into the thermos cup.

She doesn't like Shi Jingchen, but this sentence may be right. She shouldn't define herself as a weak person in her previous life.

She thought that if she recovered her memory, this knot in her heart would probably be solved.

In this era, those who have power don't care about the life and death of the weak. How many ordinary people who have no support can live a good life?

She accidentally saved Mu Tong, but also saw herself in her previous life.

Mu Tong kept wiping her face, but her tears were increasing. The porridge was no longer edible, so Lin Wei took her bowl away.

"I'm sorry..." Mu Tong burst into tears. She held her face and cried like a child. "Thank you..." She sobbed hard, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

This incident was like a bone spur stuck in her heart, and she wanted to throw herself off the stairs many times.

There is a stubborn nerve in my heart, but I don't want to admit that I am so unbearable.

Finally, someone told her that it was right, and she could finally comfort herself with confidence that she was not that mean.

"Thank you -" she apologized with sobs, her voice choked with tears.

She rarely cried. In the dead of night, she fell asleep with fear and loneliness, but did not dare to show a trace of cowardice. She was afraid that if she cried and felt wronged, she would no longer have the courage to continue living.

She told herself that she was already very lucky. Although she had no parents, she had enough food and clothing and could go to college. She was the eldest lady in the eyes of others and she was not that miserable.

She wasn't miserable...

Lin Wei waited until she calmed down a little before saying, "You don't have to thank me, you have to thank yourself for being smart enough to know how to give me the evidence of Chu Yinghao's bribery, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help you, right?" You saved yourself."

Mu Tong sobbed and raised her face, her red eyes filled with confusion. She looked at Lin Wei: "What evidence? I didn't give you any evidence."

Lin Wei's expression froze . , and then asked: "Didn't you ask Mrs. Chu to bring me a gem necklace?"

Mu Tong wiped his face and said: "Yes, but there is no evidence of bribery. I just stuffed it in the mezzanine. There was a note with the word 'save' written on it. I couldn't put anything else in such a small jewelry box, and I was afraid of being discovered."

Lin Wei shook her head: "There is nothing in the mezzanine, except for the necklace. There is also a forged shopping invoice."

"What invoice?" Mu Tong asked again with red eyes, "Who put it in?"

...

"A Dong, I really didn't know that this was the case. Who knew that girl? He can be so vicious, and he won't even spare Ah Hao. If I knew, I would definitely beat that little bitch to death, wuwu——"

The bedroom was in a mess, everything on the dressing table was swept to the floor, pillows, The quilt, jewelry, tableware - all in a mess, as if someone had just smashed them.

Mrs. Chu Er cried and knelt on the ground. Her hair was disheveled and the makeup on her face was stained. She stretched out her hand to pull Chu Aidong's leg in embarrassment: "A Dong - let me out. I will definitely seek revenge on that bitch. She She actually wants to harm my son. How can there be such a person in the world who repays kindness with revenge? I have raised her for so many years in vain. She is a wolf-hearted thing. I am going to find her and fight to the death-"

"Let you out and wait for you to be stupid again? "Chu Aidong kicked her outstretched hand away and said very sternly, "It's okay for you to be stupid, but don't drag your two sons. They were almost killed by you this time."

Chu Aidong's face was gloomy, and he said for a long time. I have never suffered such a loss. A little girl scolded her so much that she had no way out.

Disgraceful and humiliating are not enough to describe what he experienced yesterday!

He glanced at the pinch marks on the other person's neck, closed his eyes, and tried his best to suppress the surging anger.

Killing her would be more troublesome.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu——I'm not," Mrs. Chu choked with tears. Looking at her husband's ruthless appearance, she turned around and cried to her eldest son, "Ah Hao, please help me persuade your dad. I didn't mean it. I really didn't expect Mu Tong to do this. Please forgive me this time. I will never trust that bitch again."

Chu Yinghao also frowned. He glanced at Chu Aidong and sighed: " Mom, you can't always be like this. You cry when you make a mistake, admit it quickly, and then do something stupid again next time. How can you be a match for a person like Lin Wei? Even if you ask us, how can you do it on your own? , I now know who Ah Shao looks like, are you really—"

"I know, I know, it's all my fault, Ah Hao—I really didn't want to, if I had known that this would happen, I would have died. I don’t know how to give Mu Tong any necklaces. You and Congcong are my lifeblood. I suffered from the disease when I gave birth to you, and I didn’t have a good confinement period. I almost died in the hospital when I gave birth to your little boy. I was really I almost died, but I gritted my teeth and fought through it. I can't let you be motherless children, you are my life, wuwuwu..."

Chu Aidong's patience ran out, and he said with a cold expression: "If you keep making trouble, let me If you hear any noise outside, I will immediately send you back to the countryside!"

The Chu family needs a mistress. He thinks she is obedient and easy to manipulate, but he doesn't want to be this stupid. She was quite pretty when she was young. , Nowadays, the fat figure and the crazy and mean look are off-putting.

"Adong, Adong -" Mrs. Chu stood up and grabbed Chu Aidong. She almost cried, "You can't do this to me. I almost died for you. I didn't even want my parents for you." "How could you do this to me?"

Chu Aidong pushed the person away impatiently, turned around and left.

Mrs. Chu was pushed directly to the ground.

Chu Yinghao couldn't see it anymore and said, "Don't make trouble anymore. It will take a month at most. When father calms down, I will help you plead for mercy. This time you are really -" He couldn't help but sigh, "Who is it now?" It's useless to plead for mercy. Just be patient for a while."

Mrs. Chu covered her face with her hands and sobbed: "I can't bear it. I want to take revenge on that bitch! It's her who made me like this. This person has a conscience. "They were all eaten by dogs."

"If you act like this, we can't let you out. If you didn't insist on showing off your power in front of Lin Wei, how could these things have happened? You should calm down and stop thinking about revenge. With your intelligence, do you want to take revenge or kill someone?"

After saying this, Chu Yinghao had nothing to think about and said a few words of comfort before leaving.

"Ah Hao, wuwuwu - you can't do this to me, let me out -"

The door was closed, shutting Mrs. Chu's wailing in the room.

Mrs. Chu knelt on the ground, Fengyun's body pressed on her arms, sobbing.

She cried for a long time, crying very sadly, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Slowly, I don't know when it started, the crying began to change its tone, and gradually became crazy.

Ho ho ho...

She raised her face with a smile. Her hair was messy, her eyes were swollen from crying, and the shocking red marks on her neck made her look more like a ghost than a madman. There was no trace of popularity in her whole person.

She slowly got up, walked through the clutter on the floor, walked to the dressing table, and sat down.

She smashed the mirror above, and the cracks divided the mirror into many pieces. Each piece reflected her face, calm, indifferent, and distorted...

She started arranging her messy hair in front of the mirror, very quietly...

the steps were orderly. , after a while, I grabbed another eyebrow pencil and started to draw my eyebrows carefully.

The room was completely quiet, except for the faint sound coming from the dressing table, and the dim light shrouded the woman's back, creating a silent loneliness.

"A Cheng..." A faint voice sounded in the air, with a soft tone with a bit of hoarseness, like whispering.

The powder fell on her face that had been corroded by time. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly laughed again: "Tongtong, she escaped. Are you happy?"

Water vapor quickly gathered in her red and swollen eyes, and tears started to form again. spread across the cheeks.

She smiled and wiped away the tears on her face: "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm fine, it's just that-" She

was a bit old.

She missed her sixteen-year-old self, lying on the grass and looking at the blue sky, feeling so comfortable and happy. She missed her mother calling her home for dinner and her father driving the sheep to bring her back a branch of mulberries.

She will always miss the boy standing under the pomegranate tree in her dream. The morning glow was brighter, not as good as the boy's smile, warmer than the sun, and more beautiful than the moon. He said: "Ashan, let's go home."
