Chapter 7 Chapter 7

Qingliu leaned against the wall, and heard his voice, which sounded strange but familiar at the same time, and asked in disbelief, "Qiu Shen, why did you come here so late?" Yu Qiushen replied, "I just heard about it." "Everyone in the house has left." "It's okay, I just came to see you alone." He sat lightly on the sofa. The sofa had been covered with a white cloth, and he looked a little strange sitting on it. "The wife died." "I know." "You didn't see her for the last time." He grinned suddenly, as if hearing a joke.

In the dim light, his hair was darker than ever, and his eyes were brighter than ever. It can be seen that he lives very well. "You look good." "One must be kind to oneself in order to survive." "I'm not that good at it." Qing Liu stroked her face, "You're really thin." Yu Qiushen smiled and said, "Don't be too modest, you've done well. I heard that you inherited Mrs. Liu's American securities." "That's very well-informed." "You don't know what that sum is?" "I'm going to find out with a lawyer."

He stretched, "The most important part of my job is to find out which woman in the city has inherited what." Qingliu took a deep breath, "Even me?" Yu Qiushen asked back: "Why is there an exception, you are a lovely woman in the first place." Qingliu couldn't laugh or cry, she waved her hand. "Congratulations, your wish has come true." "I have no purpose." "Forget Qingliu, I know you better than anyone else; now, you are a rich girl, and your nightmare is over." Qingliu couldn't help laughing, Yu Qiushen would really relieve women's sorrows.

"come over." He patted the seat next to him. Qingli shook her head. "come over." This time, the voice was much softer. He took off his coat, revealing a very thin white shirt. Qingliu seemed to be able to smell the breath of his body. On a night of heavy thunderstorms, the rain didn't stop, adding to the temptation. She walked over and sat opposite Yu Qiushen. Don't wait until you are as old as Mrs. Liu, then it will be too late, Qingliu knows that she likes this man. "Come on, follow me." "Where are you going?" "To continue our unfinished journey, I left the best room in the unruly wind."

"I don't want to live in my wife's shadow." "That's impossible. She has affected you and my life." "I want to go to the desert, like New Mexico, and find a white cottage with cacti." "Alone, or with me?" Qingliu asked: "You don't think I'm bored?" "I am loyal to the service industry and will not disappoint you." "The length of the year, can I order it?" "I don't know how long, will you know?" Qing Liu didn't know how to answer, but he stretched out his hand. Like a magnet, her hand was attracted to him, held tightly by him, trembling all over, he pulled her, she fell into his arms, he bowed his head and kissed her mouth very skillfully.

Somehow, Qingliu shed tears. At this moment, the bell rang loudly and she woke up. Ah, it turned out to be a dream. However, the dream was so real, she stroked her lips. The phone rang incessantly. "Qingliu, you are born, I am right at your door." "what." "I rang the bell for a long time and there was no answer. I almost wanted to break the window and sneak in." "I might be out." "No, the car is in the garage." Qingliu was silent. "Open the door." This person has been chasing after him from the boat. From this, it can be seen that some things are not dreams.

Qingliu had no choice but to open the door. "Oh, how can people live in this house." The white cloth covering the sofa was wrinkled, as if Yu Qiushen had really come to sit there. Ren Tiansheng took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "Lawyer Ouyang said, he has found a house for you, Qingliu, move out, everyone is very worried about your health." Qingliu sits where Yu Qiushen sat in the dream. "Look how thin you are." Qingliu raised her head and looked at the hall carefully for the last time. "The house has been sold, and it was won by a certain group, who decided to demolish and rebuild a low-density duplex apartment."

Qingli lowered her head. "Come on, I'll accompany you out." Qingliu smiled, "Where are you taking me?" "Go and see your new house." Qing Liu followed him into the car, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the dove gray mansion. Then, when she raised her head suddenly, she was shocked to see Bai Ji in the rear view mirror. She was so thin that her eyes were sunken and her gums protruded. Only skeletons could look like this. She was shocked. Ren Tiansheng sighed, "The doctor said, move out and take a good rest, stop thinking about it, and after a while, you will return to the old view."

Qingliu covered her face with her hands. "Mrs. Liu's accident has given you a great shock." Qingliu nodded. The car drove up the mountain and stopped in the green forest, "Lawyer Ouyang has a good eye, right?" Qingliu was surprised, "This is it?" "Yes, a brand new small bungalow. I bought it even for furniture decoration. If you don't like the layout, you can replace it immediately." Qing Liu suddenly smiled, "Tiansheng, stop joking." Ren Tiansheng was stunned, "Qingliu, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Is this your family's property?" "No, it's your property. Lawyer Ouyang will set it up for you." The car drove onto the private road and stopped in front of the gate. Qingliu got out of the car, "I'm poor, how can I afford it?" I didn't expect to have such a good dream again after I finished my dream. Ren Tiansheng said in surprise: "Qingliu, you forgot that you inherited a fortune." "How can there be so many!" Ren Tianpian said happily: "It's much more than this, you must go to a lawyer to find out."

Qingliu was really horrified, "So, I don't have to work in the future?" "You sure don't have to worry about life anymore." "Mrs. Liu has never met me before, why did she treat me so favorably?" "She said you looked like her." "What do you think?" Ren Tiansheng smiled, "Being as beautiful as you is every woman's dream." "When did you become so talkative?" "It's all from my heart." Qingliu said: "Just for the sake of image, you give me such a large inheritance?" "She has run out of money." Qingliu nodded, "So she wants to see if money can change my fate." "What do you say?" "My fortunes will definitely be rewritten from now on." "Well, let's take a look at your apartment first." The door opened, and a middle-aged woman came out with a smile all over her face: "Miss Tang is moving in today?" "You are--" "Miss Tang, my name is Biyu, I'm your butler, and I have a driver and two maids to help you." Qingliu laughed in surprise, "Why do I need so many people to use it?" "Miss Tang, please come in." The house is brand new and well furnished. Although it lacks character, it is still beautiful. The master bedroom is connected to a large dressing room. When he opened the door and entered, Qingliu was stunned. The clothes hanging densely were all Mrs. Liu's old clothes. Qingliu hurriedly asked: "Whose idea?" "As soon as I go to work, the clothes are already hung up, and I don't know who that means." "It's not my clothes." Biyu asked, "Do you want to take it away immediately?" Ren Tiansheng was also very surprised, and said softly: "She wants you to take her place." Qing Liu also nodded, "She thinks she can be reborn through me." "She's doomed to be disappointed." Qingliu hesitated, and she smiled for a moment, "Poor girls are always so adventurous." Ren Tiansheng was talking on the phone. Qingliu continued talking to herself: "Because Miss Qianjin is protected and hides in her boudoir, so she can't meet anyone or anything." Ren Tiansheng put down the phone, "Lawyer Ouyang said that Mrs. Liu meant that all her clothes are left to you." Even the unworn wedding dress, a few corners of the ivory skirt gracefully revealed from the closet. Ren Tiansheng said: "If you don't like it, you can donate it to charity." Qing Liu suddenly smiled, "Who wants to wear such clothes?" The maid poured out the tea, and Qingliu took a sip, "It's easy for a person to get used to this kind of life." Biyu said: "Miss Tang, the lunch is ready, please come and taste the dishes." Seeing the exquisite three dishes and one soup, Qingliu couldn't help being surprised, "I'm afraid it will be exhausted for a year or so with such a grandeur." Ren Tiansheng laughed, sat down and ate a bowl of rice. Qingliu said, "I'm going to talk to Lawyer Ouyang." Ren Tiansheng said: "I will accompany you." The two hurried out. When he got in the car, he suddenly said, "Can you give me thirty minutes?" Qing Liu looked at him, "What do you want?" "You have seen the home Mrs. Liu prepared for you, and you should also see the home I prepared for you." "you?" "You forgot, you promised me to think about it for two days." Qingliu sighed, "I didn't expect that countless things happened after that." "Please show me your face." Qingliu smiled, "It's a must-see." Ren Tiansheng took a deep breath, "First of all, you have to be mentally prepared." "Heh, could it be that the house looks like a royal palace?" "No, on the contrary, I am just a member of the family, although as the owner of the ship, my salary is limited." Qing Liu said with a smile: "You don't have to be too humble." She got in the car, and he drove her to the other side of the mountain. The other side was extraordinarily quiet, like a paradise. The sun shone through the clouds on the top of the mountain, and it was warm and soft. The house is on the hillside. When you open the door, Qingliu likes it as soon as you walk in. The equipment is not luxurious, but everything is furnished with thought. She is sitting on a soft sofa, it's best that there are no lazy people here. "Which house do you choose?" Being homeless for a while, choosing between two bungalows for a while, what a strange fate people have, Qingliu sighed deeply. Ren Tiansheng poked his head over, "What are you thinking?" "It's really embarrassing." Qing Liu deliberately scratched his head. "Two days is not enough to think about? I'm willing to wait." "I don't want to get you serious." Ren Tiansheng was taken aback, and a miserable smile gradually surfaced, "Once girls think of us like this, we will die without a place to die." "what." "When girls fall in love with us, they usually exploit us regardless of everything. They have to dedicate their time, money and energy to her. When they don't love us, they will say generously: let you live, and your future will not be hindered." Qingliu covered her face and laughed. "I know I'm really in danger this time." "Such a nice home, are you afraid you won't be able to find a mistress?" "Look, it's almost time to sponsor someone else." Qingliu kept laughing. Suddenly feeling tired, he sat down, Ren Tiansheng offered tea, but Qingliu wanted to drink champagne. Somehow, drinking has become addicted to the unruly wind. "Would you like to stay?" Living here with him is bound to be under his control, obey his words, and you can't give him everything in terms of food, housing and transportation, and then make decisions on your own. Qingliu shook his head slightly. Ren Tiansheng sighed, "I know you think I'm old-fashioned." Qing Liu suddenly reached out to stroke his temples, "It's nothing, it's just the wrong timing." Earlier, she was forced by the situation, and she had to fight through to the end, no matter how dull or stubborn people are, but today, she got a piece of property in her hand, and she wanted to go out and see the world. Before that, the rice balls were thrown down, and she felt lucky to be able to pick them up from the ground. She couldn't fill her stomach, so what right did she have to talk about other things? Today, she has the right to choose the best brand of wine. Mrs. Liu wanted to see if her inheritance could change a woman's fate. Although she was no longer there, Qingliu felt that she was standing at a corner, with her hips crossed, raised her eyebrows coldly, and smiled triumphantly. Look, she is younger than ever, with curly hair and a ponytail, tight top, large skirt, high-heeled slippers, heavy makeup, bright red lips, in another country, there is no time limit, she has regained her youth, she The spirit of Qingliu came back to steal Qingliu's world. Qing Liu smiled and murmured, "I won't let you down." Ren Tiansheng was depressed, "You have changed." Qingliu didn't want to hide it, "Yes." "Money can kill you." Qingliu laughed crisply, "Don't worry." She held his hand and put it next to her face. It was a big warm hand, so kind, but it was different from the other person's hand. "Captain, please send me home." Ren Tiansheng had no choice but to obey. Lawyer Ouyang was waiting for her at home. Qing Liu said: "I don't need a servant." "But, Ms. Tang, they won't bother you. They come out when you call them. The house is big, and it's not good to live alone. Besides, the house needs someone to take care of it." "Promise not to walk around?" "Please do not worry." "I want to see the number of properties." "it's here." Lawyer Ouyang opened a notebook, pointed to a number, Qingliu secretly counted the zeros after the number, and asked suspiciously: "This is the property I inherited?" "No," replied the lawyer, "it's annual interest." Qingliu can rest assured that he can eat for a long time. The lawyer was surprised instead, "You don't seem to be surprised." Qingliu replied: "I know it's safe." "Is there anything you want me to do?" "Have." "Please tell me, but which company are you looking at?" "No, please find someone for me." Ouyang was taken aback. Tang Qingliu said slowly: "You also know this person." Of course Ouyang is smart, he probably knows who she is looking for. "His name is Yu Qiushen." Ouyang hesitated. "But tell me, he's not a good man?" Ouyang replied: "I am your lawyer, and I need to advise you." "I'll deal with him, you find him, tell him I want to see him, and also, my worth is different." "I'm against it." "If there is no result within a month, I will entrust others." Ouyang stamped his feet, and left in displeasure, the two hostesses were so alike. She went to the kitchen, found the ingredients by herself, made sandwiches, and when she saw champagne, she just opened the bottle and drank it. Sure enough, no one was seen all day. In the evening, someone found a champagne glass for her and put it in a prominent place. Qingliu sat quietly in the house, reading and resting. In the middle of the night, when the mood came, she walked into the dressing room, took out the bridal gown, put it on, somehow, it fit perfectly, Qingliu felt very happy, rolled up her skirt, and walked around the room. While pretending to greet guests: "You are welcome, just sit down", "The weather is so nice today", "Everyone is so happy together"... Then I sat on the stairs, suddenly unable to lift my head, buried in my knees. "Marry who?" It seemed to be Mrs. Liu's voice. Qingliu replied wearily: "It doesn't matter to anyone." Those who have not suffered hardships will not understand. Then she went back into the room and took off her dress. Lying on the bed, I thought at first that someone had forgotten to turn off the garden light, so that the white light was shining directly into the bedroom. Later, I realized that it was the shining moonlight. Qingliu fell asleep. A month later, lawyer Ouyang only gave a simple report: I tried my best to find Yu Qiushen, but his traces are all over the world, so it is difficult to find, and it will take more time. Qingliu directly denounced his wrongdoing: "You are ineffective." "Then allow me to resign." "You're not like someone who threatens his boss with resignation at every turn. Could it be that you look down on me." Ouyang sighed, "I did entrust private detectives from all over the world to find people in that circle." "How to say?" "I can't find it. Maybe I made enough money to hide and rest. I plan to post a missing person notice in Paris." Qingliu smiled, "That little money has already been spent, and people will not stay in Paris for a long time, you should find another way." Ouyang said: "I'm a jobless vagrant, it's not easy, Miss Tang, please allow one more month." His tone was like an ancient headhunter. "Look for luxury cruise ships and tourist hotspots. In winter, he may be in Miami, and in summer, he may be in Vancouver." Ouyang said: "This man is very capable." Qingliu couldn't help smiling, but no, he can make women smile. "Any thing else?" Ouyang took out a stack of envelopes and put them on the table. "What are these?" "All kinds of invitations, charities, cultural organizations, business openings..." "Oh, no, just give me a reasonable excuse." "Young man, it's good to go out and relax, Ma Xingnan and Ren Tiansheng are willing to accompany you." Qingliu shook her head, "I'm not good at socializing, and I always make mistakes when I speak, so please forgive me." Ouyang felt that she was very much like his former proprietor. He picked two out of the invitations, "If you have time, you can go and have a look." But Qingliu said: "Go find Yu Qiushen first." Ouyang couldn't help asking: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Unexpectedly, Qingliu had a ready-made answer: "Because people age quickly." No effort was spared in the phone invitation, but Qingliu didn't listen to the phone very much, and she didn't even know which corner of the hall the phone was in. Qingliu grew up on the street, and she knew how to handle things. Just when she was about to find out by herself, the news came. Probably Ouyang also knows that perfunctory is not the answer, Tang Qingliu is not a person who has no opinions. "There is more than enough to ask for a deep whereabouts." "where?" Qingliu's voice was a little choked with urgency. Although Ouyang is middle-aged and accustomed to the world, he can't help sighing in his heart: women, Taifeng likes men. "He was seen in a hospital in Tanzania." "Tancia?" "Yes, in Ager, North Africa." "What's wrong with him?" "I don't know, maybe it's yellow fever, maybe it's malaria." "Please do the travel formalities for me." "That's not where you should be." "I've decided to look for him." "Miss Tang, I've been busy lately—" "I don't need anyone to accompany me." "That's not a place for a woman to travel alone." "Then find me a guide." Ouyang paused, "I'll see if I can spare two or three days." He ended up finding time, and unwittingly, he acted as guardian. Arriving there, Qingliu found that Ouyang's comment was completely correct. In addition to speaking the native language, the locals spoke a kind of French that the French people could not understand. The weather was hot, and after a while, the whole body was wet with sweat, and then oily faces appeared on the face. The public hospital was dirty and dangerous. Ouyang gave her a mask and told her: "Go back to the hotel and throw away all your clothes." This kind of worry is not superfluous. The beds were arranged one after another, and there were patients lying there moaning in pain. Ouyang felt that he could not find out, so he went to the reception to inquire. He had a roll of dollar bills ready. "Foreigner, Huang and Kong, surnamed Yu." I flipped through a lot of records, "Ah yes, I hold an American passport, suffer from scarlet fever, and have been discharged from the hospital three days ago." Qingliu was stunned for a while, "I want to see for myself, what is the hospital bed?" "It used to be number one thirty-seven." They found Yisanqi, and now lying there was a woman who was coughing up blood. Lawyer Ouyang said, "Let's go." Qingliu refused to give up, and asked again: "Who will take him out of the hospital?" "I have no idea." "Who has news?" "Perhaps the nurse knows." Qingliu found out that the caregiver in charge that day was a young man who was proficient in English. When he saw the bribe, he gently pushed it away with his hand. "Yes, my surname is Yu. I stayed here for nearly two weeks. As soon as the fever subsided, I was taken out of the hospital by a friend. I heard that he was going back to the United States." "Why live in a public hospital?" The young nurse smiled, his dark skin set off his white teeth, "He has no money." "Where is America?" "I haven't heard of it." "New York? San Francisco?" "I have no idea." "Thank you." Qingliu wanted to shake hands with him, but was stopped by Ouyang. Afterwards, Qingliu said: "It's too unreasonable." "He works in a hospital and is full of bacteria. You don't have his resistance." This ruthless snobbery may be right. "Let's go as soon as possible." "Relax, there are good places to go in Tanzania." Reasonable, he said with a livid face: "Just kidding." That night, Qingliu was forced to leave. "This trip is not fruitless. We will go to all fifty states of the United States to look for him. I also know why we haven't found him. We have been looking for people in high-consumption places. It turns out that he was wrong. His situation is not as good as before. We should go to The middle and lower levels should investigate." Qingliu covered her mouth with her hands, terrified. Ouyang looked at her without making a sound, and asked after a while: "You still want to find him?" "yes." "why?" "I want to see it with my own eyes." Ouyang said: "Okay, the scope has been narrowed, and I'm more sure." Then he said in a low voice: "It's better to donate the tracing expenses to charity organizations." Qingliu ignored him. She is waiting at home. But more than once, when he saw Yu Qiushen covered in blood in his dream, he stretched out his hand and called her, "Qingliu, Qingliu, I'm thirsty, please give me some water", only then did Qingliu wake up, it turned out that there was a fire roasting him. In chain prison. But there are also good dreams. On a dance floor with a starry sky, he came to invite him to dance, and Qingliu nestled in his warm chest, dancing lightly, and after waking up, he still felt satisfied. Ma Xingnan came to visit, Qingliu was very polite to him, and sat and chatted with him, but the guest could see that she was completely absent-minded and looked far away. What is she thinking? Ma Xingnan said: "We will go to Paris for a short stay next month, will you come with us?" "Well, heh, I have something to do, so I can't leave." "Mrs. Liu's apartment on Fork Avenue is for sale. I'm going to check it out." "The house is actually quite old." "The price of the house will be donated to charity. I really didn't expect such a lonely old lady to be so generous." "She was nice to us too." "I see you differently." Qingliu couldn't help but owe her body. "There seems to be a misunderstanding between us, Hongmei offended you, right?" Qing Liu raised his head suddenly, "Huh?" Ma Xingnan knew that her patience had run out, and he had also tried his best. At this time, he suddenly felt that he had no regrets. Ever since she landed, Tang Qingliu's gleaming light seemed to have disappeared, and her gypsy-like wild eyes had also subsided. She seemed very tired, and her movements were slow, like a sleepy bird Come on cat. Changed a person, can no longer make the eyes of the opposite sex brighten up, refreshed. It's time to say goodbye too. The young man was a little confused, this beautiful wild flower withered too quickly, on a boat called Unruly Wind, she bloomed most charmingly. She didn't see him off, a maid walked out of the corridor and gently opened the door for him. What is shining in the dark? Oh, it turned out to be the eyes of the young maid. Just as he was about to start a conversation, he suddenly remembered the lesson of his parents, "Xingnan, don't always look for a female partner in the lower class, either a secretary or a singer, or a waiter, a salesperson... find a real lady, okay?" !" But the ladies Typhon were vague, characterless, and lifeless, and they couldn't irritate him. Ma Xingnan hesitated for a moment, and finally left quietly, but he still had the impression of those sparkling eyes in his heart. As soon as the door was closed, Qingliu breathed a sigh of relief and regained her spirit. In a few days, I will be in a good mood to go to my natural appointment. They sat in the roof garden of his house looking at the sea view. "The sea is always refreshing." There must be an opening line. Ren Tiansheng smiled, "Mark Twain said: cherish heaven and earth, they have stopped production." Qingliu raised her face and smiled. "I heard you're looking for someone." "yes." "I was devastated and shocked." "Why?" Qingliu asked knowingly. "And you're looking for someone like that." Qingliu replied slowly: "Everyone has his own aspirations." Ren Tiansheng couldn't believe it, "Qingliu, with the kind of friendship between you and me, you actually perfunctory me with clichés." Qingliu smiled, "You must ask for an answer." Ren Tiansheng looked at her, "Qingliu, I want to talk to you about our affairs." Qingliu said softly: "Tiansheng, aren't we fine now?" Ren Tiansheng said bitterly: "I thought we would be better than us." Qingliu put her hand into his arm. But Ren Tiansheng suddenly got angry and broke free. Qingliu said: "I like a free life." "Are you free now?" Qingliu looked at him. Ren Tiansheng said bluntly: "Mrs. Liu Xunyi has long been parasitic on you. She exchanged your inheritance for your soul. In this transaction, she is the Ying family." When Qingliu heard this, she slowly turned her face away and said after a while: "Now, you're starting to hurt me with your words." "I'm just pointing out the facts." "That's what anyone who uses hurtful words says." "Qingliu, you and I already feel that we are not talking to each other." Qingliu quickly returned to normal, "Friends don't have to be like glue." "Let me introduce you to my parents." Qing Liu hesitated for a while, "No need." "They're very open and approachable, and you'll like them." Qingliu smiled, "You mean that they have first-class self-cultivation, even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they won't say it out of their mouths." "No, they wouldn't be that hypocritical." "Even you have concealed it. It is human nature to hope that the daughter-in-law has a good family background and a little dowry, and it is not snobbish." "They will accept you." Qingliu laughed again, "That's really the great grace of the emperor." She went to the living room and took her coat. "You send me back." The good mood when I came was swept away. Gradually, loyal words are hard to hear, but all the unpleasant words are called loyal words, and it is not known whether it is true or not after a long time, Qingliu is willing to alienate Ren Tiansheng. Who would want a male partner to be a bright mirror, pointing out mistakes every day, everywhere, all the time. "Qingliu—" Qingliu reached out her hand to cover his mouth. He held her hand and kissed her deeply helplessly. Qingliu thought of Yu Qiushen in a daze. After being kissed by him, I will never forget the numb and itchy feeling. Even thinking about it, the surroundings of the whole face will still be hot. She must find him. "I'll take you home." "I have an appointment for afternoon tea." Ren Tiansheng asked casually, "Who?" As soon as he said that, he regretted it too much. Did he ask this sentence? He didn't know how to control himself, and he was too rude. Sure enough, Qingliu just smiled and didn't answer. How should she answer? She was just making an excuse, but she didn't actually have an appointment. Ren Tiansheng kept sending her to the mall. "Can you ask Biyu to accompany you?" "I'm used to running around the world myself." Qingliu browses in front of each store. It is said that the secret to visiting a fashion store is to dress more expensively than the goods in the store, so that you will be respected by the waiters. Qingliu no longer paid attention to those details, she just stood in front of the big glass, thinking. At this moment, someone waved to her in the store. Who it is, seems to have seen it before, but also seems to be unfamiliar.
