Chapter 9 A Beautiful Flower
After seeing Mingzhu finish her meal and gently put down her chopsticks.
The old butler immediately came over with the prepared medicine box, his movements more gentle than usual.
"Miss, please let me see your wrist."
He carefully held up Mingzhu's slender wrist, and his eyes trembled noticeably when he saw the purple circle.
The old butler poured some medicinal wine from the medicine box into his palm.
After rubbing it until warm, he gently covered the bruise on Mingzhu's wrist.
"It will be a little painful, please bear with it, miss."
The old butler's voice was filled with the gentleness that came with the passage of time.
This inadvertently greatly soothed Mingzhu's emotions.
The slightly rough fingertips rubbed the blood clots with just the right amount of force.
Mingzhu sat quietly the whole time.
She only frowned slightly when the medicinal wine seeped into her skin.
The old housekeeper's hands moved more gently. "I remember when the young lady was little, she accidentally fell down the stairs and hurt her knee. She cried for a long time while I was applying the medicine on her."
He paused, his tone filled with heartache, "Now... it has changed a lot."
Mingzhu has been beautiful since she was a child, and almost no one can dislike her.
That time she accidentally fell and hurt her knee, and no one could comfort her, and she cried heart-wrenchingly.
Mr. Ming was so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep the whole night.
Since then.
Every inch of the floor in the Ming family manor was covered with thick carpets.
The edges and corners of all the furniture were carefully polished and rounded by skilled craftsmen.
Or wrap it carefully with a cushion.
Being pampered and delicate.
Mingzhu lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her pretty face: "People always have to grow up."
The old butler paused slightly in bandaging the wound, then continued to carefully wrap it with gauze.
"But in my eyes, Miss will always be a child who needs care."
Mingzhu sighed softly, "Uncle Zhou, you're the only one who still treats me like a child."
She suddenly realized that it was not until she was forty-two years old that she truly stepped out of the ivory tower built for her by the Ming family.
"The young lady is still a child."
The old housekeeper tied a beautiful bow on the gauze.
But now the person who supports Mingzhu is no longer there.
So she had to be forced to grow up.
After applying the medicine, Mingzhu went to the study alone.
This is where Mr. Ming often stayed during his lifetime.
Everything here remains the same.
The air seemed to still be filled with the scent of sandalwood from Old Man Ming.
"Miss, the hot milk you requested."
The old butler knocked on the door gently and walked in with a tray.
"Just leave it there. Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Mingzhu's voice was very soft.
The old butler put down the cup and looked at her hesitantly.
Mingzhu returned to Shanghai alone, but Sheng Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
This old man, who has been in the Ming family for almost his entire life, witnessed the entire process of Mingzhu from her first steps to her marriage.
Naturally, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her.
"Miss, did you have a conflict with Mr. Sheng?" The old butler finally couldn't help but ask.
Mingzhu's slender fingertips slowly stroked the rim of the cup.
The warmth of the milk passed through the ceramic and onto her skin.
But she didn't answer the question.
"Uncle Zhou, tell me... am I really old?"
Mingzhu asked this question suddenly.
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Why would you think so, young lady? You are still as beautiful as when you were eighteen."
"Eighteen years old..."
Mingzhu repeated in a low voice, her eyes drifting towards the huge group photo hanging on the wall of the study.
In the photo, she was just 18 years old and standing next to Mr. Ming in a gorgeous dress.
Her smile is so bright and beautiful that it is dazzling.
"Uncle Zhou, I want to be alone for a while."
Mingzhu took a sip of milk.
"Yes, miss."
The old butler bowed and left the study, slowly closing the door.
Until the sky gradually turns orange
The old butler, who had been paying attention to the movements in the study, saw Mingzhu push the door open and walk out.
Seeing that she looked normal, the old man felt relieved.
Even if Mingzhu didn't say it.
But he was also certain that there must be a problem between Mingzhu and Sheng Yuan.
Mingzhu walked aimlessly into the bedroom, her eyes falling on the mobile phone on the bedside table that she hadn't looked at for a long time.
The moment the screen lit up, there was nothing but Sheng Yuan's unread message.
There was even a message from an unfamiliar number.
Mingzhu didn't know who would send her messages next.
Ever since she left Shanghai.
Because of Sheng Yuan's unreasonable behavior.
She gradually lost contact with her old friends.
The focus was on Sheng Yuan.
The moment you click to view.
Mingzhu's fingertips trembled slightly.
There was not a single word in the stranger's text message.
Just sent a photo.
The photo was obviously taken secretly, with a tricky angle and even a bit blurry.
Sheng Yuan was shopping in the mall with the young girl she had met at the company.
The lines of his profile looked unfamiliarly soft in the blurry photo.
When was the last time you saw Sheng Yuan like this?
It was probably five years ago when I accompanied her to the counter to choose a birthday present.
Later, companionship was gradually replaced by large transfers, and gifts were bought by assistants.
Sheng Yuan no longer wanted to spend too much time on her.
And now, he can actually take time out from his busy schedule to go shopping with another woman.
It happened to be when she left Beijing and returned to Shanghai.
No wonder, apart from the few missed calls and messages last night.
There was no movement after that.
Her departure did not seem to cause Sheng Yuan any nervousness.
Sheng Yuan who can come forward.
Even if she is a few minutes late in replying the message, she will become overly anxious.
Mingzhu's personality is the result of being spoiled since childhood.
To put it nicely, it's arrogance.
To put it bluntly, he is extremely possessive.
Mingzhu has been spoiled by Mr. Ming since she was a child.
I have long been accustomed to the fact that all the beautiful things in the world belong to her.
Something that belongs to her.
It could just be that one day she doesn't want it anymore.
Otherwise, we will never allow others to get involved.
Mingzhu directly called Sheng Yuan's personal assistant and remained relatively calm.
"Send me Sheng Yuan's itinerary for the next two days."
The person on the other end of the line was visibly startled, but knowing it was the president's wife, she quickly replied, "Okay...Okay, ma'am."
Mingzhu didn't know who was so bold as to take secret photos of Sheng Yuan and send them to her.
But she had no doubt about the authenticity of the photo.
In Beijing, no one dares to make a fuss about Sheng Yuan.
Also, if Sheng Yuan really didn't want her to know about this.
There are also thousands of ways to cover things up completely.
But unfortunately, this photo appeared nakedly in her mobile phone.
Married these years.
No matter how much the outside world praises their deep love.
There was no end to the number of women who came after Sheng Yuan's wealth.
In the past, Sheng Yuan would always handle things cleanly and wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable at all.
The life assistant was very capable and quickly sent Sheng Yuan's recent schedule.
The information in the phone is very detailed.
It is hard not to suspect that Sheng Yuan had already given the order.
I'll use this incident to completely break off relations with her.
I sent Yang Tian back to school last night.
This morning, Yang Tian was harassed by her boss while working part-time.
Sheng Yuan once again came out in person to support her for the first time.
As I continued watching, I found that even Yang Tian’s background was fully documented.
Mingzhu stared at the screen of her mobile phone, sliding her fingertips.
Yang Tian's life is really unremarkable, and her family background is so ordinary that it is almost mediocre.
The only thing worth mentioning.
Perhaps it is in such a smoky and chaotic environment that such a beautiful flower can grow.
Even more fortunately, it happened just when she was about to drop out of school.
He unexpectedly received special funding from Sheng Yuan.
This luck is so good that it makes people laugh.
