threaten? Strive for (repair)
After having a car, it was much more convenient for Shi Mingzhu to go on business trips to Wancheng. She drove with Shao Ruiqiong to Wancheng to prepare and decorate the Baiying store in Huiming Shopping Mall.
After the decoration was completed, Huiming Shopping Mall officially opened on the day of the Little New Year. Maybe because it’s close to the Chinese New Year, there is a lot of traffic in the store, and the daily sales are around four to five hundred yuan.
Originally, Shi Mingzhu did not plan to stay for a long time, but because the business was so good, Deng Jinhao asked her and Shao Ruiqiong to stay in the store for a few more months.
"Double your salary, double your travel allowance, double your holiday allowance. Let your family members go to Wancheng to spend the New Year with you. The company will cover the transportation costs." Deng Jinhao said, "We can't do without you here. We are not familiar with the locals, and it is not a good idea to rashly let a local be the store manager. You two should take a few locals with you before you leave."
Shi Mingzhu had no objection. Yangyang could follow Huo Chengfeng. She had a lot of free time. But she also had a request, "The company should also help rent a house."
Deng Jinhao said no problem and looked at Shao Ruiqiong.
The other party thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but I will only stay for three months. I don't want to stay any longer."
Deng Jinhao nodded, "It will take three months for the locals to get started."
So, Shi Mingzhu and Shao Ruiqiong stayed.
On New Year's Eve, Huo Chengfeng brought Yangyang and the ducks raised by Yangyang to Dongguan City.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have to celebrate the New Year?" Shi Mingzhu didn't show any welcoming attitude towards him, even though he brought Yangyang to her.
"During the Chinese New Year, our family of three always has to have a New Year's Eve dinner." Huo Chengfeng said with a smile.
Shi Mingzhu rolled her eyes, "Who says you and I are a family of three? Do you have to be so shameless?"
"We are a family of three. Even if we get divorced, it can't change this fact," Huo Chengfeng pretended not to hear her sarcasm and said with a smile, "Thank you for giving birth to Yangyang for me." With Yangyang, they became a family of three.
He took out two books and asked Shi Mingzhu to guess what they were.
"Book, do we still need to guess? Can't we see it all?" Shi Mingzhu was speechless. She didn't want to continue talking to him. She had complicated feelings facing him. When she thought that he was Lan Yifei, she wanted to get closer to him, but when she thought that he was still Huo Chengfeng, she was just angry. She was angry that he lied to her, and her feelings for Huo Chengfeng were not as strong as those for Lan Yifei.
She almost felt like she was falling apart. You can't let him have plastic surgery to become like Lan Yifei in this life... Shi Mingzhu glanced at Huo Chengfeng's face and shook her head. Plastic surgery is simply not realistic.
Moreover, Lan Yifei was not a good person either. He had deceived her for several years!
Huo Chengfeng told her that it was a novel. "I have written down the contents of the novel that I saw in my dream. I have marked which one is the author's original work and which one is the reader's secondary work on the first page. Do you want to read it?"
Shi Mingzhu blinked, "What did you say?"
Huo Chengfeng repeated it again.
When he said that, Shi Mingzhu really wanted to read these two novels that would determine her destiny.
But she looked at the thickness of the two novels and was surprised at his memory. "You actually remember them all?!"
Huo Chengfeng: "I wrote down everything I could remember. Of course, I may not remember every word of some conversations, but I can remember the meaning. So these two novels are what I wrote down based on their basic ideas." Everything he wrote down was what he saw, so he felt that what he wrote down should be the important plots. Because he saw that these important plots would cause readers to strongly dislike or be disgusted, and the overlap between the original and the secondary creation's plots was as high as 80%, but the endings were completely opposite.
The original creation wrote him and Shi Mingzhu as a supporting role, and their existence was just to set off the female lead. The second creation made them the male and female leads.
The original work was discontinued, probably because of the readers' reasons. The writing ideas before the original work was discontinued had overlapped with the readers' secondary creation ideas. Huo Chengfeng probably couldn't continue writing because the development of the original story deviated from the outline and the characters had their own thoughts and were no longer the paper people in the author's outline.
Shi Mingzhu finally gave him a good look and reached out to take the two novels, but as soon as his hand touched the novels, he withdrew it.
Shi Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, her hand stopped in mid-air, and she looked up, "What do you mean?"
"Do you want to think about what I said last time?" Huo Chengfeng asked her.
What did he say last time? Shi Mingzhu immediately thought, "Are you threatening me now?"
Huo Chengfeng shook his head. "I just want to fight for it. It's not a threat."
Shi Mingzhu sneered, "Then my answer is that I don't want to try with you. Are you not going to give me these two novels?"
Huo Chengfeng lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in them. He silently put down the two novels and said, "I won't refuse to give them to you. This is the apology I promised you last time."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Dad!" Yangyang hugged his mother's thighs and couldn't help shouting, "Go?" He didn't know where his father was going, but it was dark and he didn't want his father to leave.
Huo Chengfeng paused, he thought he would hear Shi Mingzhu's attempt to keep him, but there was only Yangyang's. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt very painful and disappointed. He didn't say anything, hardened his heart and left quickly.
As if running away, even his back looked somewhat lonely.
Shi Mingzhu frowned and looked down at Yangyang, "Your father is home, don't worry about him." She looked at the two novels and put them away first.
"Why?" Yangyang looked up and asked his mother puzzledly.
"Because mom and dad are divorced and separated. They won't live together anymore. He can't live in mom's house. Do you understand? Only you, Yangyang, can live in mom's house."
Yangyang frowned and thought for a long time before nodding, "Well, I'll accompany mom!"
Shi Mingzhu asked Yangyang what he wanted to eat so she could cook for him. She had already eaten, but she was afraid that Yangyang would be hungry.
Yangyang: "Egg!"
Shi Mingzhu went to make steamed eggs for him, "Your duck, what do you want to eat? Can you eat the same as you?"
Yangyang nodded, took off the schoolbag behind him and handed it to his mother, motioning her to open it. When Mingzhu opened it and saw a bowl, she understood what he meant.
Shi Mingzhu smiled, took out the bowl from her schoolbag, and filled it with rice for the duck.
Yangyang pouted and called out, "Mom," and kissed her in the air, "Oh!"
After thanking his mother, he took a spoon and gave half of the egg to the duck.
After each person finished eating their duck, it was already completely dark outside and the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers could be heard outside the window.
Shi Mingzhu's rental apartment was on the second floor and was equipped with a balcony. Seeing Yangyang fidgeting, she knew he wanted to watch the fireworks. "You can watch the fireworks on the balcony, go ahead."
Yangyang chuckled, jumped off the chair and quickly ran to the balcony.
After watching for a while, Yangyang came back in, "Mom..."
He turned his head and looked around, trying to find something.
"Mom didn't buy fireworks." Shi Mingzhu was also very sorry. She didn't expect Yangyang to come to her house to celebrate the New Year.
I walked to the balcony and took a look, and found that the fireworks were bought by Shao Ruiqiong next door. Her husband and children came to Dongguan to spend the New Year with her. She has two children, one of whom is only a teenager, which is just the age when he wants to play with fireworks.
"Wait for me later, mom will buy it for you." Unable to bear Yangyang's lost expression, Shi Mingzhu planned to go next door to ask Shao Ruiqiong to buy some fireworks.
Shi Mingzhu told Yangyang to stay at home and went out.
Soon, Shi Mingzhu came back with two fireworks. When Yangyang saw the fireworks, he cheered, ran to Shi Mingzhu's legs, hugged her, and shouted happily, "Mom!"
"Come, mom will light fireworks for you." Shi Mingzhu took Yangyang's hand and went to the balcony and lit fireworks for him.
After waiting for a few years, the fireworks were launched with a bang and exploded into flowers in mid-air.
Every time it exploded, Yangyang cheered.
Seeing Yangyang so happy, Shi Mingzhu felt a little guilty at this moment. If she had known earlier, she would have bought some fireworks.
“Yang Yang!”
“Yang Yang!”
"Dad?" Yangyang turned his head to look at his mother in confusion. Shi Mingzhu also heard Huo Chengfeng's voice, and she looked outside the balcony.
She pointed downstairs.
Just at this moment, Huo Chengfeng's voice came again.
"Yangyang, look downstairs!"
"I'm downstairs!"
Yangyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to the balcony and looked down through the hollow pillars.
Sure enough, I saw my father.
"Mom? Flowers! Dad!" He turned his head excitedly to look at his mother, and his father had a lot of fireworks in his hands.
Shi Mingzhu looked down and saw that Huo Chengfeng had found a tricycle from somewhere, and it was loaded with all kinds of fireworks.
Huo Chengfeng saw her downstairs and immediately waved and called to her, "Mingzhu, bring Yangyang down, let's set off fireworks together."
His face was full of smiles, and there was no sign of the loss he had felt more than an hour ago.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yangyang's excited voice came. He didn't even care about the fireworks in his hand, "Let go, let go!"
Shi Mingzhu nodded. Because of the guilt in her heart, she didn't want her son to have any regrets. Children should be happy. "Then go."
Yangyang cheered, walked forward and took his mother's hand, "Mom, let's go!"
After bringing Yangyang downstairs, Huo Chengfeng started teaching Yangyang how to play.
Shi Mingzhu looked at the firecrackers on the tricycle. There were some little things that Shi Mingzhu didn't even know what they were called.
Firecrackers are the most suitable toy for children. They are packed in a box with many of them. Yangyang holds a large box of firecrackers in his hand and throws them every time. His screams penetrate the sound of the firecrackers, which shows how excited he is.
"When did you buy the fireworks?" Shi Mingzhu looked at Huo Chengfeng.
"Just now," Huo Chengfeng met a mother and son downstairs when he left. The child was discussing buying firecrackers with his mother. When he heard it, he thought of Yangyang. He didn't care about the pain and ran to buy fireworks.
"Did you just buy the tricycle?"
"I bought too much, so the store owner offered to lend me a pack of fireworks. I'll return it to him after the New Year." Huo Chengfeng turned his head to look at Shi Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, Happy New Year."
"Although I know your answer, I won't give up." Perhaps infected by the New Year atmosphere, Huo Chengfeng was in a good mood, "You like Lan Yifei, actually you like me. In the future, I will get along with you according to Lan Yifei's style, okay?" He had read Erchuang's novel and thought that Shi Mingzhu liked Lan Yifei's strong preference and care.
He must be acting too slow now. Facing someone familiar, he will definitely not stir up any waves and naturally will not attract her.
In order to stand by her side again, you must be more assertive, learn to attract her, learn to please her, so that you can catch her eye.
Shi Mingzhu: “…”
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent."
Shi Mingzhu: “…” This is very Lan Yifei.
