Huang Wanzhen retorted, "Didn't you say that our bodies and hair are given by our parents and cannot be damaged? Why is it that it's different when it comes to you?"
"What? I raised you up, and now I can't say a word to you?"
"See? Even though I'm your beloved daughter, you don't like what I say to you. Think about it, how could I possibly like what you say to me?"
"I don't care whether you like it or not!" Mrs. Huang turned around and saw Hai Li. "Little Hai Li, I'll go with you to the backyard to look for Hai Mi and Zhen Zhen."
Song Wenyin covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
"What? Are you so happy to see me get humiliated?" Huang Wanzhen stared at Song Wenyin with a look of despair.
Song Wenyin patted her shoulder with a smile, "Yeah! Who made you so sharp-tongued? We can't argue with you. Now, I've finally found your nemesis."
In the hot summer, Beiman Girls' Middle School welcomed the final exams. There was no need to wear school uniforms today. Huang Wanzhen wore a floor-length short-sleeved long skirt inside and a buttoned jacket outside. It was a combination of Chinese and Western styles and looked very beautiful.
Song Wenyin wore a puff-shouldered goose yellow gauze dress with gold leather shoes, looking like a princess from a Western fairy tale.
As soon as the two met, they were surrounded by their classmates.
"I've never seen this style of skirt in the album. Tell me, are you hiding something from me?" He Lanshan pretended to strangle Huang Wanzhen's neck.
Huang Wanzhen dodged and moved away, "Lady, please show some mercy and let me explain!"
He Lanshan folded her arms and sneered, "Alright! Start making it up! I want to see if you can come up with a Zi, Wu, Mao, and You."
"This is our Linglong Pavilion's clothing style, specially designed for members. Only members with gold cards and above can view and customize it."
Song Wenyin nodded in agreement, "Yes! There are also designs of mine in there! I combined the clothing styles from Shanghai Pictorial. They are definitely the most fashionable clothes in all of China."
He Lanshan stood on tiptoe and put his arm around Song Wenyin's shoulders like a good friend. "Wenyin, we're from the same faction. Can you give me a gold card?"
"Don't give me that! So many of my classmates got you a backdoor, it's not fair to the others. If I gave everyone else a backdoor, I'd just go out and starve. Just go to the store and spend money honestly. If you spend 500 yuan, I'll give you a gold card. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow from me."
He Lanshan looked at Huang Wanzhen without giving up, "Wanzhen, what do you say?"
"If you don't have enough money, you can borrow from me. Since we are classmates, you don't have to write a promissory note." Huang Wanzhen opened her eyes wide, trying her best to let He Lanshan see the sincerity in her eyes.
After some laughter and joking, the sound of leather shoes "clacking" could be heard in the corridor. Everyone returned to their seats. After a while, Miss Green walked in wearing small silver leather shoes. "First test subject, English!"
Huang Wanzhen concentrated on the exam for three days and finally arrived at the summer vacation.
That day, a modern girl with big curly hair, lipstick on, and wearing a slit cheongsam walked into Jixiang Hall with a tall man in a police uniform.
Xiuqing, Huang Dongshi and Xiao Shitou were taking care of the shop, while Huang Wanzhen was calculating the accounts seriously without even raising her head.
"Ah——" The sharp scream immediately made Huang Wanzhen raise her head.
"Xiuqing, why are you here!" The girl pointed at Xiuqing with a distorted face and shouted.
Mrs. Huang's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is it Wanshu?"
Huang Wanzhen immediately walked out of the counter and stepped forward to hold Huang Dongshi, "Mom, don't recognize anyone randomly. How could this be my sister?"
"Huang Wanzhen! You are here too?!" Huang Wanshu felt that everything in front of her was unreal, as if she was dreaming.
"It's Wanshu, Wanzhen, your sister!" Mrs. Huang shook Huang Wanzhen's hand excitedly.
Huang Wanshu's gaze was drawn to her voice. The moment she saw Huang Dongshi clearly, she couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss—, who are you? How could you be my mother?"
Huang Dongshi's appearance has changed a lot now. Not only has she lost a lot of weight, but her hair has also been cut short. She has combed her hair into five low braids and pinned it on one side with a pearl hairpin. People would believe her if she said she was in her thirties.
Huang Wanzhen thought Huang Wanshu was really stupid. She had already given her a signal, but she didn't know how to hide.
"Where is the owner of this shop?" The tall man in police uniform narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Wanzhen and the others dangerously.
Huang Wanzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, could he be bringing a woman to take advantage of me?
"Sir, this is the property of Governor Song's family. Look..." Huang Wanzhen pointed at the newspaper on the wall and said, "This is a photo of our Chairman Song with Captain Li and Squad Leader Song from the Beijing Police Department. To be honest, Squad Leader Song is my Chairman's cousin. We're all family."
The man slowly walked over to the newspaper, glanced at it briefly, and asked, "What is the relationship between your chairman and Captain Li?"
Huang Wanzhen rolled her eyes. "How would I know that? I only know that when the business opened, Captain Li personally brought gifts to congratulate us."
The man said "Oh!" expressionlessly, then asked, "Have you paid this month's security fee?"
Huang Wanzhen was furious! "Stick a green onion in a pig's nose, what a pretentious guy!" "The public security fee is collected by the Public Security Bureau. Don't think I don't know your skin. What public security fee? Do you have the right to collect it?"
"We've paid, sir. Look..." Huang Wanzhen pointed to another photo in the newspaper and said, "This is Section Chief Chen from the Public Security Bureau, our chairman's cousin. We're all family. We've always been very cooperative with the Public Security Bureau, always paying in advance and never lagging behind."
"A family? Interesting!" The man sneered and pointed at Huang Wanshu, "Are you a family?!"
"Ah--?" Huang Wanzhen really hated this man. He was full of evil intentions. She had seen through it a long time ago. Since she didn't get any advantage, she started to get angry and embarrassed.
Huang Wanzhen didn't want to coax anymore and wanted to go on strike.
"Guangrong, why are you arguing with a young boy like her? She is still young! She doesn't understand things. As her brother-in-law, you should be more tolerant!" Huang Wanshu pouted her red lips slightly and stepped forward to help the man straighten his collar.
After she finished tidying up, she turned around and started scolding Huang Wanzhen, "What are you looking at! You're just a small clerk, why are you sticking your head out for no reason? Tell your boss to come out!"
Guangrong? Could it be Qiu Guangrong? Huang Wanshu's official partner in the novel? Wow! So a servant of the Huang family, after the establishment of the new government, rose to become a minor official. Is this a plan to trample the Huang family under his feet?
Huang Wanzhen didn't even want to look at the person with straw in his head. She turned around and shouted to Xiao Shitou, "Go to Linglong Pavilion to invite the head of the Song family."
Little Stone ran away without saying a word.
Song Wenyin arrived very quickly. She didn't know what Xiao Shitou had said to her, but she started shouting, "What security fee? What security fee? Don't think you can just find an excuse to ask for money just because you're wearing a high hat!"
