Chapter 8 Chapter 8

She dresses too fashionable, so she has no personality at all, and becomes a grain of sand in the trend, echoing what others say. Qingliu looked at her with a smile. The woman finally couldn't bear it, pushed open the glass door, and walked out, "Qingliu, I'm Ma Hongmei, come in and chat, we are eating cake." In a fashion store, having an afternoon tea party?Unheard of. Qingli shook her head. "Why are you being so polite, drinking tea while trying on new clothes, I don't know how happy I am." Yes, now, she regards Qingliu as the same kind. In the past, the Chinese class was divided into scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. Now, with the progress of the times, there are only two kinds of skills, those who have money and those who have no money.

She asked Qingliu to sit down, "Ma Hongmei, do you remember?" Qingliu nodded. "I heard you made a lot of money in the stock market." Somehow, Qingliu replied: "I haven't heard of it." This is true. Ma Hongmei laughed. The rest of her female companions also smiled wryly. Ma Hongmei said quietly: "I also hope to be like you, living alone, free, someone helps me invest, hire a housekeeper, and do whatever I like." Qingliu was surprised. Ma Hongmei can also be regarded as a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, how can she be envious of others.

"Look at me, I'm restricted in everything, I can't move, I do hand cards every day, and I have to go through my parents' hurdles before getting a boyfriend at such an old age. Even my grandmother always expresses her opinions, which makes me in a dilemma." Qingliu nodded. Unexpectedly, she complained about her suffering. She forgot that not long ago Ma Xingnan was interfered with when talking to a girl, and Tang Qingliu was the victim. "You're the best," she said admiringly, "independent." Qingliu bowed politely. At this moment, Biyu pushed the door open and came in, saw Qingliu at a glance, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Tang, so you are here."

It must be Ren Tiansheng who asked her to serve him. Qingliu said, "I'm leaving." Yu Biyu accompanied her to leave. All the girls were talking behind their backs. "See, what a grand occasion." "It's good luck to receive an inheritance for no reason." "You have that day too." "My family and your family have already set up funds, so it's your turn to fight hard." "It's true. The money of the ancestors will always be the money of the ancestors. Both male and grandchildren are controlled, and our daughters and grandchildren are even more distressed."

"Ugh." Over there, the master and the servant are going home. Qingliu talked with Ouyang on the phone: "I heard people say that stocks made money?" "I'll report to you on Monday." "Also, how is the search going?" "I'll let you know when there's news." "You always do things on your own?" "You have to trust me." "Is it the same for Mrs. Liu?" "You don't ask me and I don't tell. Mrs. Liu never asks about the process until there is a report." "Sorry sorry." "According to reports, among them, the most upscale is Europe, followed by Southeast Asia, and then the United States."

Qingliu was silent. "The world is not very big, and the circle is very small." Qingliu was silent. "If you feel bored, you can have a dance party and I will help you post." Qingliu shook her head and waved her hands in fright. "If someone invites me, I won't go. How can I invite someone?" "Do you feel like you have too much time?" Qingliu smiled. Ouyang is a shrewd person, and he has long noticed that she talks less and less. Silent and beautiful women are the rarest in the world. The only worry is that she seems to be getting lost in her own little universe, out of touch with reality.

There is only one person who can pull her out, and that is Ren Tiansheng, but does Ren Jun have such supernatural power? But Ren Jun never appeared in Qingliu's dream. Qingliu dreams of Mrs. Liu clearly and exquisitely from time to time. In the dream, she was tricky, lively and sharp, always very young. Qing Liu has only seen her previous photos, but she can always recognize her without hesitation. Mrs. Liu would laugh at herself like this: "Use this inheritance well, it is really my hard-earned money." Qingliu didn't know what to say. "Thank you for the gift."

"How is life?" "Much better, more dignified." "Finally helped you." Qingliu smiled. "Now, what you're trying to find is someone who cares and loves you." Qingliu was taken aback. She never expected that she would say such mundane words after being unruly all her life. Could it be that this was what Tang Qingliu subconsciously hoped for? No no, what Tang Qingliu is after is love, or the feeling of love. In the dream, Mrs. Liu reached out to touch Qingliu's face, "Don't waste your youth." "I will cherish it."

"Time flies much faster than you can imagine." The old people in them always say that. It must be that I didn't make good use of my time, and I relied on this and that afterward. "Ah, I know none of the young men would believe that." Qingliu boldly asked: "Are you happy?" "Happiness has never been with me." Clear and compassionate. Mrs. Liu went on to say: "From now on, you are me, and I am you." Qingliu murmured: "Is it really possible?" She was lying on the sofa in the study talking to herself, Biyu pushed the door in and heard the raving.

She gently pushed the mistress. "Wake up, wake up." Qingliu opened her eyes and sighed, "You are me, and I am you." "Miss Tang, Mr. Ren said he wanted to see you." Qingliu slowly stood up, "Where are the others?" "He called and asked if you were free tomorrow." "Ask him to come early." "Tomorrow morning is the day when the beautician comes." "Then it's noon." "Lawyer Ouyang will come to do the financial report." "Afternoon is fine." Jasper smiled, "Unless you cancel swimming lessons."

"No, I'll take the time to talk to him, he has something urgent to do." "I'll tell Mr Ren." Ren Tiansheng saw Qingliu practicing butterfly strokes by the pool, and he felt at ease again. Being willing to exercise means that life is normal. He squatted by the pool and said, "I'll pull you up." Qingliu smiled, "No, I am strong myself." She pulled the handrail and jumped ashore. She was wearing a dark blue race suit with no particular style, but her slender figure was fully revealed. She was originally a lovely person, but now she is lucky and even more glamorous. Wrapping her body in a big towel, she smiled: "It's always a little embarrassing to hear you looking for me, maybe I have to learn a lesson again." Ren Tiansheng was a little embarrassed. "You look like you're here to make a final announcement." "Qingliu, tell me that you are willing to give up that person." Qingliu asked knowingly, "Who?" "Qingliu, isn't there an agreement between us?" "I promise you to think about it, and now I have finished thinking about it. Naturally, there is no similarity between us, and we cannot walk together." He sneered, "This inheritance is a disaster." "Naturally, please calm down before you tear your face apart. I still respect this friendship." Ren Tiansheng was depressed, "It's because I didn't seize the opportunity at the beginning." Qingliu smiled, "Because you were hesitating at that time, is this woman with nothing and an ambiguous background worth investing in? That's why she refused to tell me her real identity." Ren Tiansheng was helpless. "Again, I'm afraid you can't even be friends, but this?" Qingliu answered frankly: "Yes." He rested his head on his hands, "That man will destroy you." Qingliu couldn't help laughing out loud. Ren Tiansheng sighed, "The first day we met, you thought I was ridiculous." "Your values ​​seem to come from another planet." "Old, yes, I know." "No, it's just different." "It's too late to avoid that kind of person, you still have to go find him." Ren Tiansheng was heartbroken. "You don't understand him, and you don't understand me." Ren Tiansheng didn't turn his face away, and stopped talking. "Lawyer Ouyang told you that I am looking for someone?" He nodded. "You have become good friends." There was a bit of teasing in his tone. "I heard that there has been news." "Hope he's somewhere in America." "He is said to be in bad condition." "They've had a lot of ups and downs in that line." "You sound like you're talking about a legitimate business." Qingliu smiled. "He's in Hawaii." Qing Liu was taken aback, and remained calm on the surface, "When did you find out?" "last week." "Who told you again?" "Ouyang." "Why didn't you let me know right away?" "Someone saw him in Owa Lake and Honolulu, not sure." Qingliu couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and called Ouyang. Ouyang explained: "You have to find the exact address before I can report to you." "You always treat me like an ignorant girl!" Who knows that Ouyang is also annoyed, "Aren't you?" Qingliu was furious and dropped the phone. Ren Tiansheng was sad, "You are not the Tang Qingliu you used to be, you are more and more like a person, and you also want to become a domineering queen." Qingliu raised her head, "It's time for you to leave too. I'll take you out of the city. The driver is waiting for you at the gate. Goodbye, Tiansheng." Where did that sweet, gentle and understanding girl go?In just a few months, it seems that without a driver, she no longer knows how to walk, learns to command her subordinates, and no longer accepts people who go against her will. However, this is also tantamount to releasing him, and the charming and charming child he admired no longer exists. She absolutely didn't need him, and it was useless for him to sit around and wait for a century. Ren Tiansheng suddenly realized that he was free. He regained his old chic self. He said, "In two days, I'll be back on the unruly wind." Qingliu raised her head when she heard the words, and smiled, "Have you been promoted?" Ren Tiansheng replied: "Now I am the deputy captain." "That's great, congratulations." Ren Tiansheng knew that she would always tease him. Next time, when you meet a girl you like and who is a possibility, you must make your identity clear. He is leaving. "goodbye." But Qingliu said, "Funwind." She didn't look back, watched the car leave and disappeared around the corner. Qingliu went directly to lawyer Ouyang. He was in a meeting, and the secretary asked Qing Liu to wait. He came out in a hurry, and when Qingliu saw him, he said, "I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow." Ouyang was also very straightforward, "Okay, I will ask the secretary to give you the contact number. If there is nothing else, I have other guests." "It's okay." Qingliu said very simply. Ouyang went back to the meeting room. Did he make it clearer: I have a lot of clients, your business, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, it doesn't matter. He didn't want to serve the little Mrs. Liu any more. The secretary came over and invited Qingliu to the reception room. "Miss Tang, here are the documents." It was a medium sized yellow envelope. Qingliu hurriedly took it apart. Shake out a few photos, the shooting location is a beach, there are a few canvas chairs under the palm trees, and someone is lying on the chair. It was Yu Qiushen vaguely. Candid photos failed. Qingliu sighed, but finally there was his trace. There is another piece of paper with a simple address written on it: No. 20, No. 30, Mona Loa Road, Maoer Island. The footnote says: The telephone line has been cut due to non-payment. Qingliu didn't believe her eyes, how embarrassed a person would be to this extent. She wanted to rush to see what happened. Qingliu returned home, booked a plane ticket, took his passport and left. The housekeeper caught up, "Miss Tang, are you going out? Why don't you ask me to pack my luggage." "I'll be back in three to five days." The housekeeper said urgently, "Miss Tang, please leave an address so that I can take care of you." Qingliu smiled, "Before, I had to take care of others, don't worry." She left alone. After transferring to a small plane and arriving at Maoer Island, Qingliu suddenly became frightened. She stood alone under the palm tree and trembled. This, isn't it walking towards the fire pit step by step? How can a person who just jumped out of the frying pan be so ignorant? Maybe this is what Mrs. Liu wants to see: Ah, Tang Qingliu, character controls fate, wealth can't save me, and it can't save you either. At this time, two girls came over laughing and laughing, and hung the flower strings on Qingliu's neck. Qingliu smelled the fragrance of egg yolk and flowers, and regained her composure. A jeep stopped in front of her, and the Chinese driver smiled and said, "Miss Tang, please follow me. Lawyer Ouyang asked me to drive you to the hotel." Qingliu smiled, Ouyang has always been responsible, no wonder Mrs. Liu has been using him, she feels at ease. When the car arrived at the best hotel in the city, the driver picked up the luggage and accompanied Qing Liu inside. "Whose box?" "Ah, it's from Ouyang, it's Miss Tang's clothes." Qingliu nodded silently. "Miss Tang, my name is Zhang. I will be waiting for you at the entrance of the hotel these few days, and I will drive you around." Qingliu walked into the room, took a shower, and opened a bottle of cold beer to drink. I said in my heart: Hurry up to Mona Loa Road, if it is too late, it will be too late. At the same time, he said: So many people discouraged, I am afraid there is some reason, now it is too late to look back. After conflicting for a long time, I finally changed clothes and went downstairs. Another girl came up to help her put on a wreath, this time it was full of big red flowers, which were bright in color. Ah Zhang immediately drove the car forward. Qingliu sat down and ordered: "No. 30, Mona Loya Road." Along the way, the smoked wind blows against the face, which is intoxicating. Ah Zhang laughed and said, "Miss Tang, after visiting relatives, do you want to visit the active volcano?" Qingliu suddenly moved, ah, a living volcano. "I have a permit to step on the newly solidified molten rock, and other tourists cannot go." Qingliu replied: "Let's talk about it another day." The car drove into a civilian area. The streets are gradually becoming dirty, and passers-by who are loitering turn their heads to look at the slow-moving cars. "Arrived." It's an old low-rent apartment with peeling walls and a bad smell. Qingliu stared blankly at the house number, unable to believe, how could Falk Avenue, Monte Carlo, and Yu Qiushen end up here. Impossible, he has plenty of money. However, he was sick, and they were most afraid of illness. Qingliu remembered that when he worked in a fast food restaurant, he was paid by the hour. When he had a fever, his heart became cold, and he relied on his strength to eat, and his hands stopped talking. After a while, Qingliu turned her head and said, "Ah Zhang, wait for me here." "Miss Tang, there are many people here, I will accompany you in." There are more good people than bad people in the world. Ah Zhang has solid muscles, which seem to have been specially selected. Walking into the apartment, the smell became heavier and suffocating, and Qingliu involuntarily covered his nostrils. This is a different world from the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers outside. Which one is the third floor?There are four units on the second floor, and the corridor is dark with only one small light. Qingliu stayed in the corridor for a while, and pointed to seat A intuitively. Ah Zhang went to ring the bell. After a while, with a click, the door opened a crack, and someone looked out. Qingliu saw the dark skin, red eyes, and yellow whites, "Who are you looking for?" "A Chinese." "Ah, the Qing people are in Block B." The door slammed shut. Ah Zhang went to ring the doorbell of Block B. Qingliu was so nervous that her palms were sweating. No one answered the door all the time, and then Ah Zhang found out, "Hey, the door is ajar and it's not locked." He pushed the door open with one hand. "Miss Tang, follow me." There are people in the room. A man was lying prone on the bed, motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The interior is like a garbage dump, full of dirty clothes, wine bottles, and leftover food, don't turn your face away. Ah Zhang said in a low voice, "Miss Tang, why don't you go." Qingliu's voice was dry and trembling, "Since it's here, why not see clearly." Ah Zhang nodded. He walked slowly to the bed and turned the man over. He's still alive, just drunk. Qingliu saw the man's distorted face. "No, not him." Yu Qiushen is much bigger, and his hair is not dyed yellow. Ah Zhang pushed him, "Wake up, hey, wake up." The man barely opened his eyes, then closed them again. Ah Zhang found a glass of water and poured it on his face. He stretched out his hand to block, stuttering, "Don't hit, don't hit, I'm willing to do anything..." Not even a dog. There are pinholes densely on the wrist. Ah Zhang stuffed a banknote into his pocket, "Where is Yu Qiushen?" The man was surprised and pleased, "He, I don't know, I broke up with him." Ah Zhang gave him another bill. "He's sick, he's in a public hospital." "What disease?" He laughed hoarsely, "What kind of illness do you think people like us are suffering from?" His head drooped. Azhang stood up and asked Qingliu for his opinion. Qingliu burst into tears and stood by the door blankly. A big gray mouse walked by on tiptoe, looking around curiously as if it didn't know what happened. Qingliu no longer feared, turned and left. Ah Zhang put the man down. He still cried out to himself, "Hey, who are you?" Back on the street, Ah Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly drove the car away. "Miss Tang, I'll drive you back to the hotel." "No, I'm going to the hospital." "Miss Tang, why do you need to go to the chain prison on earth?" Qingliu was at a loss, "Isn't Mao'er Island a paradise on earth?" Ah Zhang smiled wryly. The hospital is in a mountain col, and the wind is strong. You can hear the humming and the waxing of clothes even when you are standing. After asking questions in the cabinet for a while, luckily they all spoke English, which was more convenient than last time. The nurse finds the records on the computer. "Yu, male, 28 years old, he was discharged from the hospital yesterday." "Healed?" "No, his wife said he was willing to go home and spend his last days." A large plate of ice water was poured over Qingliu's head. "What disease is it?" "We cannot disclose." "Do you have an address?" "We can't publish it." Qingliu encountered setbacks again and again, and was too tired to lift her head. Azhang said softly: "Miss Tang, I have a solution, just sit at the reception." He bought her a mug of hot cocoa at the machine. The wind suddenly stopped, and the fog came down, covering the whole building. Qingliu could clearly hear the moaning of the patient, like a ghost calling for help. She fought a cold war. After a while, Ah Zhang came back and said calmly, "Yes." So there is a way, of course, it is not as simple as the driver. "where is he?" "In this city." "Can you take me there?" "Miss Tang, what he suffers from is..." "I'm not afraid, I must see him one last time." "Miss Tang, if you have a good impression of this person, it's best not to meet him." Qingliu thought for a long time, "Thank you for your advice, I still want to see him." It's unbelievable how stubborn a woman can be. Ah Zhang silently arranged the itinerary. He went to buy some simple food first, then filled up the gas, and drove the car to the suburbs. "He lives near a pineapple garden." Qingliu didn't feel hungry, and sat in the car without making a sound. The mountain road was bumpy, the car swayed rhythmically, Qingliu seemed to vaguely see Yu Qiushen's beautiful smile and white teeth. I don't know how many years have passed since the unruly wind came down, it seems like half a century. Suddenly Ah Zhang asked: "Why do you have to see him? Is there something important to say?" Qingliu nodded, "Yes." Ah Zhang fell silent. Yes, she wanted to say to him: In the past, for me, you were an unattainable person, but now, I have the ability, and I come back to find the dream back then. The car drove for more than an hour. "Arrived." The path led to several brick houses, and they got out of the car and walked forward. In the distance, there are endless green pineapple fields. At this time, Qingliu felt her legs were weak, and Ah Zhang came to help her. Two golden retrievers heard the stranger's footsteps and slowly came out to inquire about the news. Then, an aboriginal woman wearing a large floral skirt came to the door and raised her voice and asked, "Looking for someone?" "Yes, looking for Mr. Yu." The woman looked up and down, "Who are you?" Ah Zhang made his own claim, "Dear relative, this is his cousin." The woman changed her tone, "Come in, please." Qingliu followed behind Ah Zhang silently. The small brick house is quite tidy, and the TV screen is broadcasting a softball game. The woman suddenly said in a regretful voice: "Yu can't die, it's only a day or two, and you just have time to see him for the last time." Qingliu stood at the door blankly. "My daughter took good care of him." Qingliu whispered, "Thank you for taking care of him." She smiled, "Talita loves him, I love Talita." What a good mother. The bedroom door slammed open, and a pretty girl came out, staring at the stranger suspiciously. "Is it Yu's wife?" "No, they're not officially married yet." "Mother, who are they?" asked the girl. The woman explained a few words in native language. The girl immediately said, "Come with me, please." The bedroom is spacious and tidy. A wooden bed is covered with white gauze curtains. The floor-to-ceiling windows lead to the terrace, where you can see the mountains in the distance. "it's here." There was a buzzing in Qingliu's ears. We can finally meet again. Ah Zhang whispered wittily, "Miss Tang, I'll wait outside." Qingliu followed Talitai to the terrace. She saw a rattan couch with someone lying on it. Qingliu stopped to look, and took a step back. Who is it, as thin as a skeleton, with thin and falling hair, and a smell of corruption hits the nostrils. The man's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, the eyeballs were cloudy, he didn't know whether he could see at all, and his skin was also festered and dripping with thick liquid. Qingliu had never seen such a terrible patient. She asked tremblingly, "Where's Yu Qiushen?" Talitai went over, held the patient's hand, raised her head and said, "This is Yu Qiushen." No!Qingliu was scared out of her wits. How could it be like this after not seeing each other in just a few months? Talita whispered in his ear, "Someone is here to see you." Ah, she is so great, Qingliu suddenly felt ashamed when he treated him as if he was not sick. The patient also asked softly, "Who?" "Your cousin." "Where?" Qingliu had no choice but to take a step forward. Talita said: "Here we come to interview you." Yu Qiushen turned his eyes slightly, as if staring at Tang Qingliu, after a while, he shook his head, "I don't remember." He exhaled and closed his eyes, as if entering a trance. Talita stood up and said apologetically, "Sorry, he has trouble recognizing people." No. He really didn't recognize Tang Qingliu. A certain girl next to countless rich wives teased a few words, and then forgot them in an instant.He really forgot. "Come over for a cup of coffee, please." Qingliu sat down, her hands shaking all the time. Ah Zhang was talking to Talita's mother over there. "...I'm just a foreman in a pineapple garden." "Miss Tang will be responsible for all expenses." "That's all right." Qingliu suddenly woke up, opened her handbag, and wrote a check in US dollars. Ah Zhang went over, handed the check to Talitai, and said softly to Qingliu: "We have nothing to do here." It took a lot of effort for Qingliu to move her legs and turn around. She staggered back into the car with difficulty. Ah Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, and drove the car like a gust of wind as if fleeing, blowing it away at once. At the hotel lobby, lawyer Ouyang came out to welcome him. Qingliu was surprised, "You're here." "I'm really worried." Then, he turned his head and asked Ah Zhang, "See you?" Ah Zhang nodded. Ouyang spread his hands, "This case can finally be closed." Qingliu said nothing. Seeing her dull expression, Ouyang persuaded: "You don't recognize each other anymore, so you don't have any impression, so what is there to miss?" Qingliu thought for a while, then said sadly: "That man is not Yu Qiushen." Ouyang took a breath of cold air, "That's absolutely true, it's Yu Qiushen." "No," Qingliu said softly, "he won't miss me." Ouyang didn't know what to say, so he sighed, "Let's go home first." Qingliu murmured, "Go home?" Ouyang supported her and remained silent. He called someone: "Zhang Yong, take us to the airport." Qingliu hesitated, "But—" she pulled Ouyang. Ouyang asked patiently: "Is there anything else?" "We still have to look for Yu Qiushen." "Qingliu, you have already met Yu Qiushen." "We got it wrong, and we'll have to keep trying to find it." Ouyang could only say: "Yes, yes." He went back with Qingliu. There was no difference along the way. On the plane, she took a nap, read magazines, and watched movies. Suddenly seeing a funny plot, she couldn't stop laughing, her laughter was not unpleasant, like a silver bell. But she didn't stop after a minute or two, she continued to giggle, and someone in the front seat started to look sideways. The laughter became hysterical. Ouyang remained calm, lightly pressed Qingliu's arm and said, "Look at this piece of news." Qingliu's attention was diverted, and the laughter stopped. She looked at the headlines on the economic page, and asked blankly after a while: "Who is Ren Tiansheng? What does he have to do with me when he presides over the launching ceremony of the new boat?" Ouyang said gently: "Take a break." As soon as he got home, Ouyang immediately called for a doctor. Qingliu said: "I'm not sick, why seek a doctor?" Ouyang comforted her: "It's good to check when you come back from running around the world." "I'm exhausted." "You can rest whenever you want." Qingliu stretched her waist and walked downstairs. Butler Biyu hurried out and said, "Miss Tang, this is the place." Qingliu seemed to have no memory of where the dormitory was at all, and asked someone to lead him in. Doctor Yin is here. Ouyang talked with her in the study. After hearing the details, Dr. Yin pondered for a while, "I think I can contact Dr. Zhao in the psychiatry department." Ouyang felt cold for a while.
