Chapter 18 Female Ghost Smoke Spirit
After he finished speaking, the seemingly refined and elegant scholar pushed Pei Muyan down on the sofa.
Pei Muyan huddled in the corner of the sofa in panic. The man suddenly pressed over and slapped her frail body.
Pei Muyan was accustomed to being calm, frowning slightly, gritting her teeth and enduring the severe pain in her body.
The one who beat her was her husband Wu Liansheng, a professor in the Department of Literature at St. John's University. He was 32 years old this year, a full ten years older than Pei Muyan.
Wu Liansheng fought for a while, and seeing Pei Muyan's arrogant and contemptuous attitude, he became even angrier and tore her elegant cheongsam with all his might.
"No, no, please leave me the last bit of dignity, Wu Liansheng! Don't do such a meaningless thing!" Pei Muyan's teeth were chattering, and her eyes were dull as she stared at Wu Liansheng.
Wu Liansheng became even angrier when he heard this. He grabbed Pei Muyan's neck and demanded, "Are you mocking me for being incompetent? It's been three years, Pei Muyan. When our three-year agreement comes, I will give you a big gift.
I can't do it, but there's always someone who can! Ha, ha!
Do you think I will let you leave without any hesitation?"
He laughed horribly, and finally kicked Pei Muyan hard, then turned around and went upstairs holding his tie.
"Ding-ling-ling..." The phone rang again hurriedly. Pei Muyan didn't touch the phone again, and tears silently flowed across her miserable face.
-
At this time, the Nan family.
Nan Chengcheng called several times but no one answered.
Xu Yun came in with some osmanthus cake. "Cheng Cheng, who did you call? Come, try some of the osmanthus cake Uncle Zhang just made. Eat it while it's hot."
"Mom!" Nan Chengcheng took the osmanthus cake, "I called my cousin Mu Yan's house, but no one answered! I want to go to her house to see her."
"No one answered? Maybe her husband took her out! Liansheng loves your cousin very much. He takes her wherever he goes and always takes your cousin with him when he goes out!"
Your aunt and uncle are both dead, and Mu Yan was a poor child. But when she met your brother-in-law, he knew her well and loved her. It's just a pity that they haven't had any children for many years!" Xu Yun elegantly placed the osmanthus cake to her lips and took a sip.
"Mom, do you know your brother-in-law?" Nan Chengcheng, who had traveled through time, had very few memories of her brother-in-law. If Sun Shuxiang had not mentioned the name Wu Liansheng at the last moment today, she would have forgotten that she had such a brother-in-law.
They didn't meet often, and she only remembered that her eldest cousin was not happy on her wedding day.
"I heard from your eldest brother-in-law that his family was also aristocratic in the previous dynasty. During the war at the end of the previous dynasty, all the family members died in the war. He took some of the family inheritance and fled all the way to Jiangcheng.
He was well-educated. After studying at St. John's University, he went abroad to study. After returning, he taught at the university and was a respected scholar.
Back then, your cousin was alive thanks to him!
In his later years, your uncle became addicted to opium and gambling. He owed a lot of money to underground money lenders and could not pay it back, so he committed suicide with your aunt.
Only your poor cousin was left. When I brought your cousin to our home, the creditor came to our house and asked your cousin for money. Our tea garden was in a recession, so we could only help pay back a small part of the debt.
At that time, your cousin's husband stepped in just in time. He was your cousin's university professor, and it was he who helped pay off her debts. As a result, your cousin agreed to his proposal." Xu Yun's eyes welled up as she recalled those past events. Her sister had met the wrong man and died young. Sigh!
"Mom, I'm sorry for reminding you of sad things!" Nan Chengcheng came to her mother and shook her hand.
Xu Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, we've already passed the time."
