Chapter 1705 Extra: The Pain that Cannot Be Let Go
All kinds of fruit trees are planted at the base of the courtyard wall, including lush grape vines and green cherry trees. Just seeing these colors makes people feel alive and energetic, and in a good mood.
"Liang Xin, why are you back? I heard that you are doing well with Qian Shao now. It's really different to see you again this time." Wang Yu and Liang Xin are of similar age and are both retainers of the Shen family. She couldn't hide her surprise on her face, and she didn't know if Liang Xin could understand her euphemistic and implicit hints.
"What do you mean by doing well? You can't escape the fate of working. Your teaching profession is different from us. It's a completely glorious position." Liang Xin was a little absent-minded, thinking about his own things.
"You think too much. Speaking of this, I have a question for you. You have been with Qian Shao for so long, and the family is going crazy. Tell me the truth, did you really say that you succeeded in becoming Qian Shao's wife and became a mistress? Destroy their marriage and feelings." Wang Yu's question was very direct, without any beating around the bush.
Liang Xin was devastated by this question. The key point was that she was told by her good friend that she didn't know her own character. She knew it but still talked nonsense here.
She chose to look at Wang Yu without saying a word. She didn't know what she should say or do now. She began to reflect on why things turned out like this. As a retainer, how could she end up like this?
"What are you thinking about not talking? They all said so. If you don't want to listen, I won't say it in the future. I'm just curious." Wang Yu tried to clear this relationship from herself. After entering the society, she had seen all kinds of people. People's hearts are separated from the belly. If you want to fully understand a person, it is very difficult.
The brain is a cunning thing. After you do something wrong, it keeps finding reasons and excuses for you. She actually wanted to hook up with Shen Heqian, but she had the heart but not the courage.
"I didn't do it, I didn't do it. I don't want to explain it anymore!" Liang Xin said that she was tired. She held her forehead with her hand. She felt a headache and a big head.
"But I'm also wondering why these retainers at home are so gossipy, saying that you interfered with the marriage of Shen Heqian and Fu Rong, and they said it with details." After getting Liang Xin's answer, Wang Yu still refused to give in.
"If you treat me like this again, I will really be angry." Liang Xin closed her eyes, she was unable to refute or complain.
"What are you angry about? Liang Xin, you still have time to be angry, I'm afraid you are still being ungrateful now, interfering with Qian Shao's marriage, Fu Rong told us the whole story, you still have to pretend here, is it interesting?" A maid jumped out halfway, Fu Rong had been kind to her before. As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring.
"How many times do I have to say it? What's there to pretend about? How could I possibly destroy the marriage between Qian Shao and Fu Rong? You big brothers really think too highly of me. I, Liang Xin, have no ability at all. As a retainer of the Shen family, I will not do anything out of line." Liang Xin explained to them with her anger why they were unwilling to let her go. This kind of unfounded thing would spread from one person to another, and sooner or later it would reach her parents' ears.
"It sounds better than singing, but I still don't believe it. I'm afraid that only your Liang family can bite back at the master." The woman was relentless and her needles were sharp. In her opinion, it was just a few angry words, which could not achieve the purpose of solving the problem.
"Xinxin, why are you hiding in the backyard this time? Your mother and I have been looking for you everywhere but can't find you. It's enough." Liang Bowen's voice came from not far away. The old couple also missed their children.
"I came here to be lazy, and I can't do anything else." Liang Xin squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth, and she was completely different from the girl who was bored by trivial matters just now.
"Don't look down on yourself so much, believe me, you are the best." Wang Yu cheered Liang Xin up. With her father present, they must be more restrained.
"This is a case of trying to cover up one's own faults. I'm leaving first." Cheng Yaojin, who suddenly appeared, made an excuse to leave.
Less than a second later, Wang Yu also wanted to make an excuse to leave. After all, not everyone is good at meeting parents.
"Xiao Xin, I have good news for you. Both your uncle and aunt have been promoted and given a raise. What do you think about going home to celebrate in the evening?" Liang Bowen was happy for his elder brother and sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart. They are all workers and have no formal jobs. It is also a rare opportunity to stay with the Shen family.
"I am very worried now. I wish I could help you investigate it and shut up those people who want to look down on me. They will only wrongly accuse people there. Isn't it annoying?" Wang Yu clenched his fists while speaking.
"Hmm? What are you two kids talking about in secret? Why can't I understand?" Liang Bo looked puzzled. What are they looking for?
"Nothing, Dad. Since we have to go back to celebrate with our uncle and aunt, let's quickly pack up and go home early, right?" Liang Xin took the lead in interrupting. She didn't want her father to know about this cruel and gossipy thing.
With that, the three of them left from the backyard together.
The Liang family's house was a bit lively today. When Liang Xin went back with his father Liang Bowen, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. They had said they would come back early, but they were still so late.
"Brother, I kept you waiting for a long time. I had said that Xiaoxin and I would come back early and we were tidying up in the old house of the Shen family, but it's already so late." Liang Bowen held a bottle of daughter's red in his hand and apologized deeply.
"It's okay. Aren't we retainers here to assist Shen Heqian and fulfill our responsibilities? So, it doesn't matter if you're late. I can understand." Liang Guangyuan said nicely while sitting at the dining table.
"Come on, let's celebrate!" Luo Lanhe changed the subject, "Celebrate that my elder brother and his wife have been promoted to managers. Now we have two managers in our family. In the future, we will have to walk sideways in the company?"
"Hahaha, mom, we are not crabs, how can we walk sideways? You think too much." Liang Xin was amused by her mother Luo Lanhe. But with two managers, won't she be able to hug thighs in the company in the future?
"Hahaha, Xiao Xin is getting more and more funny!" He Minghong couldn't help laughing.
"Cheers!"
The five people's glasses clinked together. From the top, it was spectacular. People in their forties are under the greatest pressure. They have old people above them and young children below them. They need to support their families and cannot easily change.
For example, Liang Guangyuan and He Minghong have been working in the company for several years but have never been promoted. The fundamental reason is that they leave the opportunity for promotion to newcomers. You know, the younger the person, the greater their ability. So for Liang Guangyuan and He Minghong, this promotion was totally unexpected.
At the dinner that night, Liang Xin was totally out of shape. She could not forget those who hurt her...
