Chapter 92

Shuntian Mansion, Sheepfold Alley.

Since the economic revitalization began, a large number of commercial housing began to be built, and villas were also built outside the city, but the real rich and old Shuntian people still prefer to live in courtyard houses in the alleys.

Right in the middle of this sheepfold alley, there is a courtyard. From the outside, there is nothing unusual. It is just an ordinary courtyard house. As soon as you enter the door, you can see that this place has obviously been carefully redesigned and decorated. The whole courtyard is covered with green bricks, old plums, and even the corners of the eaves have been repainted. It exudes a clean and elegant atmosphere, which makes people subconsciously know that the owner's taste is not ordinary.

This is Zhou Mo's home in Shuntian Prefecture.

In 1984, Zhou Mo, who was only eighteen years old, made her official debut and released an album called "Eighteen Years Old This Year". A record, but continued to hit the street, and then the company realized that it was not feasible for her to take this road, because although she was very beautiful, she was indeed very pure, but the stubbornness in her bones, the unruly look at the corners of her eyes and brows, But it made her really unable to become a lovable good girl, so the company catered to the fashion at that time, and simply issued a selection of operas to her, and made some money, and when the contract ended, they simply ignored her .

So, Zhou Mo, who was ignored and asked by no one at the time, became ruthless, and approached Mr. Xie Jinshun, who was semi-retired at the time, and pestered him for a month. Finally, Mr. Xie nodded. She made a record with her voice style, and then she became famous overnight.

Three years later, that is, in 1990, she invested 1.28 million to buy this dilapidated old courtyard house in Yangjuan Hutong, and then spent more than a year and millions of dollars to carry out renovations on this courtyard house. Renovated and redecorated, it eventually became her home in Suncheon.

Even at the end of 1992, after she officially announced her withdrawal from the music scene to marry, she still hired someone to come here to tidy up and clean it every day, and she herself would come here to stay for one or two nights every once in a while.

Until a month ago, she carried the small suitcase when she married and moved back here again.

Yes, she is divorced.

And away.

There are special provisions in the law to protect the concubine's independence, property rights, and divorce rights, so the other party can't stop it, and in fact didn't stop it. A small blueprint, click, once the seal is stamped, she is no longer someone's. concubine.

It's afternoon, but Shuntian Mansion has been gloomy since two days ago, with a look of heavy snow that is about to fall, and the temperature is also abnormally low, but fortunately, the houses in the yard have been specially renovated , not only replaced with custom-made thermal windows inlaid with triple-glazed glass, but also connected the heating pipes outside. At this time, the heater in the room was very hot. Although it was cold outside, it was more than 20 degrees inside. It was fine not to move, but to sweat when moving.

Zhou Mo nestled on the sofa and remained motionless for a long time.

She wore a very simple homely bun on her head, a navy blue linen shirt on her upper body, and a pair of leggings on her lower body. Her feet were bare, but she seemed a little afraid of the cold, so she specially put on a thin pair of pants. blanket.

When she first debuted, she was famous for her pure and beautiful appearance. Later, when she became popular, she liked to put on an unorthodox appearance. When she put on smoky makeup, she directly covered more than half of her beauty, and only showed her pride The craggy, eccentric side is exposed. But in fact, although she is almost thirty years old now, she still looks so beautiful with a plain face, and, surprisingly, when she is a little older, her body and face are full of arrogance and angularity On the contrary, his strength has faded a lot, and he looks much purer than eleven years ago.

It's just... a little thinner.

The nanny Wu Ma stepped in, seeing her still nestled there motionless, she couldn't help but sighed in her heart—it's been almost a month since she moved back, almost every day, except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet. Sitting there motionless, Mama Wu almost watched her lose weight day by day—every time she ate, she looked at her thin and bony wrists and arms when she raised her sleeves and recalled how she lost weight three years ago. Before she was married, her face was obviously much rounder than now, which made people feel distressed.

"Miss, Mr. Zou is here." She said.

"Hmm..." Zhou Mo woke up suddenly, looked up at Mama Wu, nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Then, Zou Wenhuai stepped in, holding a big cardboard box in his arms.

He put the cardboard box on the ground next to the tea table, then sat down panting, and said, "From January 1993 to the present, all the albums of all the singers released in China in the past three years, as well as the ones I can collect Some foreign albums, singles, etc., are here!"

Zhou Mo heard him talking, looked up at him, nodded lightly, but was still speechless.

Zou Wenhuai is very fat, so he brought such a box in from the door of the house, and let him pant for half a minute, then he raised his hand to wipe off the sweat that was not much on his forehead, and said, "Mom, you Are you going to continue being in a daze like this? It's been more than a month, and it's time to get back to your senses!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mo looked up at him, and after a while, she said slowly, "Actually, I don't need these."

She was talking about the box of records that Zou Wenhuai carried.

But as Zhou Mo's manager and assistant, the two have known each other and cooperated for many years, Zou Wenhuai could hear her voice wrong at the first breath, so he glanced decisively in the room, and immediately saw the girl on the side of the coffee table. Half a pack of cigarettes and a pack of matches. Then, his eyes immediately widened, "Why are you smoking again! I said Mom, don't you know what is the most valuable thing on your body? It's your voice! You...you are ruining yourself!"

While talking, he got up halfway, grabbed the half pack of cigarettes and matches, threw them on the ground, stomped a few times angrily, and said, "It's just for your throat, just to prevent you from being smoked and choked, even I They all quit smoking, don’t you know? You smoked yourself instead? You ruined yourself, right? For that old man, does it make sense?”

Zhou Mo looked up at him, then looked down at the cigarette case and matches that had been trampled by him, took a deep breath, bent down, picked up the cigarette case and matchbox at Zou Wenhuai's feet, and held them with her fingers. Dusting the non-existing soil on the cigarette box, she skillfully popped out one, which was shriveled and about to grow into a cake. Then she took out a match, struck it, lit it, and took a deep puff.

Well... Zhou Mo is still the same Zhou Mo.

As long as it's something she doesn't want to do, the more you push her, the more she pushes you!

Fear nothing!

Zou Wenhuai's brows twitched twice, his chest heaved sharply a few times, but he sighed again and sat down slumped.

After so many years, Zhou Mo's donkey temper is so familiar to him that he has long since lost his temper.

"You, you, let me tell you what's good about you..."

Zhoumo took another puff, then took a long puff suddenly, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "What's the matter, let's talk!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at her, frowning tightly, but in the end, he could only sigh - over the years, he has never been able to screw this little girl.

So, after a pause, he said, "I told you a lot when I came last time. Recently, the CEOs of several companies have called. Up to now, I have received dozens of phone calls, if I don't say anything at all." Right? It’s still called by people at the boss level, Sony, Huage, Dongfang, Taishan, Times... Of course, there is also your old club, Xinda, it’s funny to say, I was still with Xinda last month How about a few hairy kids, from the time you announced your marriage, up to the boss, down to the reception room and the doorman, they all saw that my nose is not a nose, and my eyes are not eyes. Once you get divorced, well, they all gather around, Lao Zhou said , as long as you are willing to go back, Xinda will give you and me the best treatment and the most lenient conditions in the industry!"

Zhou Mo listened calmly, and when he finished speaking, it took a while before she suddenly recovered from the daze, but she just stretched out her hand to flick the cigarette ash off, then snuffed out the cigarette, and said, "You and the They said that my voice is hoarse, I can’t sing, and I don’t want to sing anymore.”

When Zou Wenhuai heard it, he immediately became anxious again, "Don't sing? What do you want to do if you don't sing? Just you, besides singing, what else can you do, what will you do? Idle in a daze? Do you die in this room?"

Maybe Zou Wenhuai's voice was too loud all of a sudden, so frightened that Wu Ma, who was working outside, ran over quickly. And what she saw was indeed Zou Wenhuai yelling at Zhou Mo with a blushing face and thick neck, while Zhou Mo continued to lie on the sofa calmly, unmoved.

Wu Ma looked at this and that, not knowing whether to speak or not, or whether to leave.

After a while, Zhou Mo moved his arms and legs slightly, and said, "Say, Mama Wu, I'm tired, take Mr. Zou out for me!"

Wu Ma quickly agreed, and then looked at Zou Wenhuai.

Zou Wenhuai choked on her, and stood up in a huff of anger, "Okay, Mommy, you can do this for me! Ah! Just hold it back for me! I'll tell you, it's just you, just you This voice, you are now a demon. When you come back to your senses, when your throat is so itchy and you want to sing, I am waiting for you to come to me! Tell you, you were born to sing! You don’t Sing, God will force you to sing!"

After finishing speaking, he got up angrily and left, but when he reached the door, he stopped again, turned his head to look at Zhou Mo, and said coldly: "Recently, a young genius appeared in the circle. Liao Liao, not to mention taking your place in the past, he recently made an album for a girl group composed of five little girls from Huage. If you don’t want to die later, find out and listen to it! By the way, there will be them at the New Year’s Day song tonight, so you can take a look too. And... cigarettes, if you can take less puffs, try to take as few puffs as possible!”

Speaking of this, he saw that Zhou Mao was already looking like a ghost, so he couldn't help being very angry, and said angrily: "I'm leaving, you continue to seek death!"

... ... ...

After sending Zou Wenhuai away, Mama Wu came back. Seeing that Zhou Mao was still in a daze, she couldn't help but sighed again, walked a few steps, and asked, "Miss, what do you want to eat tonight? I should make dinner!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mo looked up at her, lowered her head, looked up at her again, and suddenly asked, "Mama Wu, do you also think that I am almost dead?"

Wu Ma was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly said: "Mr. Zou made you angry! Don't listen to it! Besides, Mr. Zou has been here so many times, he said Yes, I heard a lot from the side, people really think about you!"

Mo Zhou nodded, "Old Zou is a good man."

Wu Ma was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said quickly, "Miss, I think what Mr. Zou said is right, you were born to be sent by God to sing, you should sing!"

When Zhou Mo heard this, she burst out laughing for the first time. Although it was silent, it was like the beginning of pear blossoms. In an instant, the whole room seemed to brighten up a lot. Wu Ma was even more stunned when she saw it.

Then, Zhou Mo asked: "Do you... also think that I am so stupid that I have to be a concubine for others? And..." She smiled to herself, with a bit of bitterness in her smile, "And I'm an old man! And... hehe……"

Wu Ma listened, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she couldn't help but said, "Miss, I've been here since you cleaned up the yard, and now, I'll take care of the house, clean up and do the housework for you. It's been almost four years, you, you may not like to listen to what I say, you are not stupid, you are just too stupid!"

Whoops, with just this sentence, Zhou Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Idiot?"

Wu Ma said: "Actually, I don't understand much, but the stories in the play are clear. I don't know how many people come to ask for marriage from those ladies. The one who gave the clothes and the money hid his father and mother for him to study and test his merits. What was she planning? In the end, the scholar was admitted to the number one scholar and became a high-ranking official. What? To put it bluntly, isn’t it just a word for insanity? Our old man said, this is called love insanity!”

When Zhou Mo heard this, she stared blankly at her, and after a while, she sighed quietly and said, "Uncle is a sensible person!"

But she quickly waved her hand and said, "Mother Wu, I'm not hungry, you don't have to cook dinner, you better go home quickly, Uncle Zi must be hungry now!"

Wu Ma was stunned for a moment, and said, "How can I do that, I must do it for you first!"

Ke Zhoumo shook her head firmly.

"I just want to be alone," she said.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been too tired recently. I sent out the first chapter and wanted to rest for a while before writing the next chapter. As a result, I lay down on the sofa and fell asleep within three minutes. When I woke up, it was almost eleven I clicked... and I still remember that the codeword needs to be updated, so I woke up in shock!
