Chapter 7 face

Lulu went into the dressing room, put down her handbag, and sat in front of the mirror, looking at her own famous face. The frame seemed to frame her upper body, like a magazine cover. Lulu lowered her head and lit a cigarette. Her personal make-up artist, hair stylist and secretary immediately came and surrounded her. Secretary Annie grumbled, "Everyone has quit smoking, but you are the only one who still smokes." Lulu smiled wryly. She also tried to quit smoking, not because she couldn't quit, but because she didn't want to deprive her of her only pleasure and hobby.

Johnny brushed her hair vigorously. "You're late." The female editor of the magazine greeted her with interest, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the studio is ours until the evening." Lulu smiled at her. The lady reporter asked: "Have you just finished work?" Lulu nodded. "Would you like to do an interview now?" Lulu smiled softly, "What else do you want to ask, and what else you don't know, sometimes you know what I don't even know." The reporter was a little embarrassed. Anita smoothed things over, "Ask how much she made last year."

Lulu didn't want to answer. The makeup is swept up layer by layer, and the face is outlined. It was this face, and for eight years, she had earned nearly ten million dollars with it. This strangely attractive face has always attracted movie audiences, making Lulu's films extremely high at the box office. At the beginning, she was just a pretty face. Later, she devoted herself to performing arts, and her acting skills improved rapidly, which further consolidated her status. Lulu is very popular, dedicated to her work, and has no airs, so she is very popular with the media. She put out her cigarette and said with a smile, "Well, I'm going to retire."

When the reporter heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. A group of staff following Lulu also fell silent. After a while, Anita forced a smile and said, "Don't make such a joke." Lulu raised her head, "I never tell jokes, everyone knows that." "That shouldn't be the case." "You haven't made a famous face, you don't know what it's like." Anita and Miss Reporter Qiqi said: "We are not qualified." Lulu lowered her head, "It's just a face, no soul, no thoughts, all people know is this face, the rest is not important, invite me to dinner, be friends with me, date me... all for it, Do you understand, as if I personally did not exist."

Annie froze for a while. She had never heard such words from the lady boss, so she didn't quite understand the meaning, so she said cautiously, "You must be tired because you have been filming all night." The lady reporter is actually the person who wrote the article. She said: "A person who has lived a certain type of life for a long time will get bored." Lulu touched her cheek, "The face is in the presence of people, but the face is in death." Anita was taken aback. Fortunately, the photographer called over there: "Are you ready?" Lulu went to try the position.

Anita hurriedly grabbed the reporter and said, "Please, don't write those words just now." "I understand." After a pause, the reporter said, "But what she said is the truth. She has been a star for many years, and no one treats her like a flesh and blood." "Are you talking about retirement in your twenties?" "It's a little early." When Lulu came back, the two of them quickly changed the subject. "What appointment is there today?" Lulu asked. "(1) Southeast Company's celebration banquet, (2) Miramar magazine's 10th anniversary reception, (3) the opening ceremony of the City Council Film Festival, (4) director Zhou Manjun's birthday party, (5) famous Japanese film treats." Annie Tan opened the appointment book, like an endorsement.

Lulu said, "You know what I mean." The editor of the magazine said: "Strange, I thought that human beings would never tire of fame and fortune." The camera started, and Lulu knew exactly where her best angle was, and she was able to grasp it perfectly. She smiled at the camera. Lulu forgot how many times she did the cover, just for international magazines, there are several times. She can't find real peace even when she travels abroad. Overseas Chinese recognize her at any time. Foreigners also like to ask: "I'm sorry, miss, you look familiar. You are a model."

It sounds like I don't know how to be grateful, but the hardships involved are really not for outsiders to understand. The most terrible sacrifice is not being able to find a confidant of the opposite sex. Last year, Lulu and her grandson dated for a few months. Sun’s family background is good. He is a practicing barrister. He is handsome and funny, and he treats Lulu very considerately. Enjoyed it very much. Sun Zijian wanted to take her home to meet her elders, Lulu thought a lot and agreed. Unexpectedly, it was a big banquet with five tables, the Sun family called all relatives and friends to watch the stars, Lulu was tired all night, and she refused to go out when Sun Zijian came to make an appointment again.

Lulu can put up with the audience, they deserve to stare at her, she needs them and they need her, fair trade. But she couldn't bear the thought of her future relatives having such a huge curiosity about her. Lulu once said mockingly: "I am a weirdo." Acting career is more stressful than other industries, and she gradually became a little withdrawn. Anita always advised her, "It's good intentions to see you only when people like you." Lulu knew in her heart that there were not many real movie fans, and many of them looked maliciously and critically. In an interview, she said that it is wise for women in the Middle East to cover their faces with dark veils when they go out.

It must have started at that time, when Lulu walked past glass or mirrors, just took a look, then didn’t turn her head, and said with a smile, “It’s overexposed, even I can’t stand it”, and never bought magazines that made their covers, saying, “ It would be nice not to write Lulu in the text, so you can read it with peace of mind." So she thought about retiring. To be an ordinary person from the beginning to the end may not be reconciled, but once brilliant, and then tend to be natural, there should be no regrets. Lulu has enough savings to live the next hundred years, if she is not satisfied with her current life, she can really retire from now on.

Gradually fell in love with the idea of ​​retirement. The retirement of the face does not mean the retirement of the body. Lulu has a high school diploma and can enter higher education institutions at any time to be a carefree student. In the studio, my heart has already flown to the campus. Lulu's parents immigrated last year, and she has long planned to reunite with her family. Immediately Anita asked, "Where did you decide to go to those banquets?" Lulu blurted out: "I said I immigrated, so I can't go." Everyone laughed. Anita said, "Okay, I'll drop it with you." It's been a bit of trouble without Anita over the years. "By the way, Sun Zijian is looking for you." Lulu was silent. The photographer said: "Yes." It means that he has taken the photo he wanted. Lulu got off the stage and immediately took off her makeup. The makeup artist knew that in the past two years, unless it was for work, Lulu refused to put on makeup at all. Even if she was filming and taking pictures, she would wipe it off as soon as she finished, so as not to know it was "Lulu" at a glance. Lulu is avoiding herself, which is a big psychological obstacle. She has seen a psychiatrist. It was only the second time I went there, and the nurse there asked to take a photo with her, but Lulu gave up. Everyone who met her always felt obliged to tell her that she was getting more and more beautiful, and there was often no better subject to talk about. Several times, Lulu wanted to discuss the movies she had seen with the reporter, but she dared not open her mouth. She was afraid they would give her a wink of "You are not beautiful enough, why bother to pretend to be an intellectual". Really bitter. She has only one face. Lulu rolled up her handbag and bid farewell to everyone. Anita ran after her and whispered, "Don't think too much." She nodded. As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a big black RV parked on the side of the road. She pretended not to see it. Her own driver approached slowly. Sun Zijian jumped out of the cart, looked at Lulu, and didn't speak. Lulu smiled politely. Sun Zijian said softly, "Dining together?" Lulu was also eager in her heart, but she finally hardened her heart and said, "I'll talk about it after I retire." Sun Zijian was helpless. She jumped into her car without looking back. Three years ago, Lulu played and sang almost every night. Every night, different cars and different people came to pick her up. There was no repetition for three hundred days. During that time, she fell in love with her own face, and she wore makeup and hairstyle to stand out. She has a beautiful face, and she enjoys the feeling that everyone looks at her as soon as she enters the venue. She is Lulu, the movie queen. She is an easy-going and lovely woman, informal, one day the director temporarily canceled the announcement, and she had nothing to do, so she went to a friend's office. Lulu didn't know that the person sitting in the reception room was her friend's fiancée, and that girl hated Lulu to death. Seeing her in person, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and her face tensed immediately. Lulu stepped forward to express her intentions, but the girl said coldly, "He's in a meeting, what's your surname looking for?" Lulu was surprised and said, "I'm Lulu." The girl pulled her face down, "Lulu what? I don't know how many Lulus are outside." Lulu froze. Only then did she realize that sometimes her face couldn't be covered. She stood for a while, wanting to retreat, but felt it was worthless, wanted to raise her voice, but was afraid that the trouble would be unsightly, her face turned blue and white. The girl's complacent, gloating attitude made Lulu disheartened. At this time, as soon as the door opened, the person she was looking for came out, and when she saw it was her, she was shocked, so she quickly found an excuse, sent her downstairs, and asked, "Why are you here?" That night, Lulu asked herself in the mirror: What does your face represent? Why is it popular only at night, only in entertainment places? Later, she heard that a friend had broken off the engagement with his fiancée. The girl was not entertaining reporters, but rumors persisted in society that Lulu was coming to her door. On the surface, Lu Tiao is calm and calm, but she is very confused inside. Others can talk nonsense, but she can't. She is tired of her reputation. After a long time, of course you will learn to be good. She was no longer interested in making friends with outsiders. The next day, Anita came early in the morning. She said, "Tonight is Zhao Min's wedding banquet." Lulu smiled slightly: "I'm finally married." "No, that's why everyone is happy." Lulu said: "Actually, she has a bit of money, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't marry." "It's too demoralizing, and the other party is not a good family, but an immigrant from a foreign town. After marrying, he has to wash and cook. Why should he be so happy?" Lulu smiled, "Maybe it's love." Anita also laughed, "It must be." Lulu said, "I won't drink the wedding wine, I can come to the reception." "I'll arrange it for you." "Look, there is one less companion." Anita said, "You are a movie queen, and you have never had a companion." Lulu smiled lonely. "Which clothes are you wearing?" "Don't be too busy, sit down, I have something to say to you." Anita was surprised, "What words?" Lulu smiled, "You have helped me a lot over the years." "Hey, it's so nasty." Anita waved her hand. "Accelerator knows this." "Really, how do you plan to repay me?" Anita joked with her. Unexpectedly, Lulu blurted out: "I'm going to Canada to study for a few years, you can come with me, one is that I need someone to accompany, and the other is that you can take it easy." Anita was taken aback. "Only you know about my plan, don't let it out, or people will say that actors love to brag." "So, what about these plays?" "Leave after filming, there are only two films left in hand, both of which are coming to an end, do you think I'm still as popular as before?" "I—" "What's your reason?" "I really don't know what to say." "If we continue to do it, there will only be three or five years left." "Three to five years is a long time." "I'm tired, I want to live the most ordinary and quiet life, I want to retire." "My God, I didn't expect you to be serious." Lulu breathed a sigh of relief, "Can you support me?" Anita looked at her, "For you right now, health, freedom and happiness are the most important things, fame and fortune are already overflowing." "Thank you." Lulu and Anita hugged tightly. Annie frankly didn't believe that Lulu had made up her mind, maybe she was just depressed recently, maybe she would change her mind after a while. Anita felt it was her duty to make Lulu's life happy, to do as best she could. Lulu is serious. She discussed with her family and went through the enrollment procedures. The two brothers supported her very much. After all, they were able to graduate from college thanks to Lulu's financial resources. When they got married, Lulu gave her a gift of one floor each of the apartment. They are not people without conscience. Their starting point is the same as that of Anita, they want Lulu to be happy. Lulu began pushing film appointments, with the excuse that "I'm going to take a long, long vacation". And the salary was greatly increased. Select scripts one by one, and most of them will be returned intact... After finishing work, I stay at home and enjoy reading and chatting with Anita. Anita said: "I see that you have relaxed a lot recently." "Ai." "I used to think that I was pushing myself too hard." Lulu admitted. "If you gain two or three pounds, you will be scared out of your wits and become nervous." Anita teased. "Look at me, I'm just fooling around now, I don't know how beautiful it is." The phone rang, and Anita went to answer it. She talked for a while, and then said to Lulu, "It's Sun Zijian." Lulu said, "I'm not here." "He knows you're there." "I don't answer the phone." "We are also old friends, and you will leave this right and wrong place next year, and he will not be able to find you." Lulu thought for a while, but she was too embarrassed to go too far, so she answered the phone. Sun Tzujian asked: "Come out for a cup of tea?" He was always very patient. "Why don't you come to me." "Excellent, I'll be there in fifteen minutes." Anita said: "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward." "Explain it to him, so that he will give up." "Aren't you afraid of him spreading the word?" Lulu thought about it, "Anyway, it's the truth, don't be afraid of him spreading it." Anita glanced at her, "I think he already understands you." Lulu admits, "He's very composed." Not only calm, but also obedient, Sun Zijian came to report in less than fifteen minutes. Lulu served fragrant tea and told him everything about her retirement plan. Zijian was flattered to listen, but he was not surprised. He had noticed Lulu's emotional changes in the past two years. After Lulu finished speaking, Sun Zijian had no objection. Lulu asked, "Do you think I'm right?" Sun Tzujian also asked: "Did you travel this far to avoid your own face?" Lulu laughed, "I didn't expect you to look at it like this." "Why rush it." "what?" "Lulu, don't our faces last forever? The facial features change with age. No one can be beautiful forever. We will grow old eventually, and we will inevitably lose the beauty of our youth. I don't understand why you want to do this worry." Lulu froze. Sun Zijian sighed, "But I respect your wishes," he stared at his girlfriend, "although this face has public obligations." After hearing this, Lulu couldn't help raising her head and laughing loudly. It has been many months since she smiled so brightly. Laughter really heals all kinds of diseases. Lulu only feels comfortable physically and mentally. Sun Tzujian said: "Well, let's explore the way first, and have a look. Many people do that." Lulu said, "I'm quite familiar with the situation on that side." "The feeling of being a tourist is different. Anyway, I have a vacation, and there are three of us in a group. How about going to relax?" Anita immediately said, "What a great idea." Lulu knew that Anita hadn't had a vacation for three years, and it was reasonable that she should fulfill her. Lulu immediately said, "Go with you? I don't even have the courage to eat a leopard. I don't know what to say." Sun Tzujian said: "You care too much about what people say." "If you were me, you would care more." "Then split up." "Your family has a lot of relatives over there?" Lulu asked, "Please don't hold star-watching conventions." "Miss, I only see you if I like you." "I've always wanted to retain a little bit of the right to a private life." Sun Zijian said, "Don't worry, I won't tell them this time." "Thank you." Lulu exhaled. Zijian stretched out his hand, "Still friends?" Lulu put her hand in his, "I always thought we were more than just friends." Zijian smiled wryly. Lulu was estranged from him for a while, and he also tried dating other opposite sexes, but he was never satisfied. He fell in love with Lulu's face, looking at her is already enjoying, such delicate and beautiful facial features, every frown and smile are scenery.What was unexpected was her conversation, which was direct and full of humor. He always thought that getting along with her was like a spring breeze. Every time he went on a date, he felt excited, and he hurriedly went out to wait for her, willingly. Maybe when she retires, his chances are a little higher. At this moment, Lulu was wearing a white shirt and blue trousers, with a string of royal wood cultured pearls hanging around her neck. She was beautiful and chic. Sun Zijian wanted to express his admiration to her, but he didn't know how to say it. I only heard Lulu say: "Anita and I are staying in a hotel, how about you?" Zijian was surprised, "Your parents and brothers are all there, do you still live in a hotel?" "She didn't want to disturb the relatives," Anita said. Zijian said, "It's true that she doesn't want relatives to disturb her." Lulu said: "Listen, listen, he is the only one in the world who dares to speak to me like this." That's it. They set off in two weeks. Lulu was very impatient with the long-distance flight. She couldn't sleep or eat, so she could only read books. Anita bought a stack of novels for her. After reading a review, she said: "The plot is so crazy that there is no wrinkle." Stretch. Zijian smiled.She's already slack. When approaching the port, Lulu looked in the mirror, "You're right, even I don't know myself anymore, the plane is ten years old." She is contradictory. On the one hand, she cherishes her appearance, but on the other hand, she feels that the burden is too heavy. Zijian glanced at her and said nothing. Lulu didn't inform her family to pick up the plane. It takes strength to exchange pleasantries, and she just wanted to sleep well. Zijian sent her and Anita to the hotel and left a communication number. "See you tonight," he said. Waking up in the evening, Lulu felt in good spirits. She called the neighboring room and found that Annie Tan woke up earlier than her. Lulu communicated with her family members, and they shouted wildly at the other end, so happy that they rushed over immediately. Anita asked, "Should I ask Sun Zijian to come?" "Tomorrow, let's all meet at dinner tomorrow." Relatives flocked to the hotel room, big and small, the scene was lively, Lulu sat quietly, looked at them, and smiled at the beginning, and gradually realized that the faces of relatives became blurred, no different from ordinary movie fans, asking questions, caring about things , are all related to the movie. Lulu faintly felt that she had flown more than 10,000 kilometers, from the eastern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, but her worldly ways were still the same. They made a dinner party at Brother Lulu's house the next day. Anita saw them off and said to Lulu, "You look tired." "Really, it must be because of the large number of people." "Then you have to be mentally prepared, there will be more people tomorrow." Lulu turned around and asked, "Why am I becoming more and more afraid of the crowd?" "Occupational disease." She asked her grandson to go to the appointment with her. Originally, I wanted to sit down with my family and discuss a serious issue. When we arrived at the scene, as soon as the door was opened, the spotlight kept flickering. Lulu couldn’t open her eyes. Sun Zijian instinctively stood in front of her. Although Anita was used to the scene , did not expect this move. The relatives threw a party for Lulu and invited all the friends from a radius of ten kilometers. Lulu was in a daze at the seventy or eighty overseas Chinese in the prison living room. Her mother said happily: "They are all here to see you, and they are all fans of your theater. I promised them to meet you a long time ago." Sun Zijian couldn't help smiling knowingly. Lulu gave him a hard look, and he reached out to hold her hand, but she didn't break free, and this time it was the turn of all relatives and friends to smile. A few of them took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Sun is the future son-in-law, right?" Anita whispered in Lulu's ear, "If you retreat here, you won't be able to rest." They are only more curious and enthusiastic about more things. After eating a little something, Lulu dragged her grandson Jianbi into the study and locked the door. Lulu leaned on the desk, laughing sobbingly: "It's too bad to be on stage and have a press conference." Zijian was silent. "What do you say?" "It's better to let nature take its course. While there is still market demand, do it for a few more years, and wait until people no longer want to see you." "Really," Lulu sighed, "let me think about it." Even her own family reacted so enthusiastically, Lulu didn't know how to deal with it. Someone knocked on the study door: "It's Anita." Zijian went to let her in. Anita said: "I didn't expect that there was no safe place at all." Lulu was silent. "And it's a group of spectators who don't need to buy tickets to enter the venue." Lulu smiled, and the doubts in her heart seemed to be gradually unraveled. Anita said: "Why fight against your capital? You should make the most of it." The father's voice came from the door: "Lulu, the reporter from the Chinese Newspaper is here and wants to talk to you." Zijian said: "Come on, cheer up, don't let the villagers down." Lulu and Annie laughed together. The big star stood up helplessly, took a breath, touched her face, and once again dealt with the crowd who loved her and harassed her—【Farewell】 This is a funeral. Zhuang Yuyuan prepared his clothes a few days earlier, as if attending a grand ball, he worked hard in advance. At this moment, she is sitting dignifiedly in the second row of the chapel, with her hands clasped together on her knees, wearing a black casme suit, the only decoration is pearl earrings, and thin makeup on her face. With her hair in a low bun, she looks very mature and beautiful.The relatives and friends who came one after another couldn't help casting a glance at her. Today is her uncle's funeral. Her father had passed away ten years earlier, leaving Yuyuan to her mother. The inheritance was not distributed for a while, so Yuyuan's mother went to seek refuge with her brother, and her sister-in-law was the most powerful person in the world. Within a month, mother and daughter were arrested. Boom away. The process is like a bitter movie. The details are so vivid that Yu Yuan will never forget them.That day, when everyone was sitting at the same table for dinner, Yuyuan's mother humbly expressed that she was disturbing her relatives very much, and she had to find a way to move out as soon as she was able. Unexpectedly, her brother, who was eleven years older than her, raised her head and sprayed marriage, without looking at their mother and daughter, said coldly: "You really should move away, don't just make people happy." Even though Yuyuan was young, he still felt a buzzing in his ears, not to mention what the widow was thinking. At that moment, her mother didn't say a word. The next day, she found her husband's old friend. One of them, a lawyer surnamed Lu, acted bravely and immediately moved their mother and daughter to a hotel. After another two weeks, they got their inheritance and bought a house for them. . Uncle and aunt have always treated Yuyuan with an attitude of indifference. When they make a phone call, there is nothing wrong with it, and the voice seems to come from a bottomless pit. Snobbishness is totally normal. Yuyuan gradually understands that all of his uncle's righteous cases have the support of the audience, the more people see the good things, the less he minds doing them, and his wife also supports him.There is no need to help poor relatives. If you stick to your hands, you can't get rid of it for more than ten or twenty years. It's annoying. Looking at the portrait of his uncle, Yu Yuan couldn't help showing a smile. His three sons and one daughter were all unsuccessful, and the youngest son was very bad and had no tutor at all. When he lived in their house, Yuyuan tutored him. He brought an alarm clock into the study, set it for an hour, and when the clock rang, he immediately packed up his books. I'm afraid that it will make Yuyuan look cheap. Speaking out, it seemed that she was fussing over the children and kept silent. This kind of anger was quite uncomfortable, but luckily she moved away.After teaching pronunciation a few times, my uncle still feels distressed: "The whole world can't read correctly, what does it matter" or "Sooner or later you will learn", in Yuyuan's tutoring career, he has never seen such humorous students and parents . All the past came back. When entering the chapel, Yuyuan saw the huge wreath she sent in the name of Shenyuan company placed in a prominent place. The widow was helped in by relatives and friends, and she didn't necessarily mourn. Yuyuan heard that his uncle had been out there for several years, and his aunt had long since lost power. Although she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, she always had money in her hands, and she was no longer as brave as she used to be. Yu Yuan slightly turned his head to greet her. Behind her was her son, daughter-in-law and grandson who had returned for the funeral. Yuyuan's eldest cousin went to the United States to study, and within a year, he met a woman from a grocery store in Chinatown, and got married immediately. She didn't read a book, and stood helping in the store, and didn't care about her father's opposition and threats such as cutting off the economy. The young couple had several children in succession, and they lived a very leisurely life without competing with the world. Yuyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of personality, but her uncle was angry with it and regarded it as the first thing he hated in his life. While scolding, he still pays out of his pocket to buy a house for his daughter-in-law, after all, he is his own flesh and blood. Yuyuan and her cousin are very strangers, in the past they always had the feeling of being superior, but after a long time, when she had a career, she could be on an equal footing with them, but she felt that they were boring. The aunt still maintains her shrewdness and momentum, and the children follow behind like followers. She wears a diamond ring that she wears every day, which is the size of a longan core. Yu Yuan was fascinated by this gemstone when she was a child, so that she made her first profit before rushing to the jewelry store to buy one. An unconscious compensatory action: what my aunt had, she also had. But she hadn't worn it, in fact it hadn't even been inlaid, and it had been kept in the safe. Cousins, sisters-in-law and children are so poorly dressed that they don't look like the descendants of the rich old lady. She let them buy man-made fibers in American township department stores, wear clothes without fashion, and wash them in the washing machine. Whitening and fading. The children looked at their beautiful cousin curiously, Yuyuan liked children, they were always innocent, and they were the first to sacrifice. A little girl sat near Yuyuan, her yellow hair was braided into two thin braids, but her features were very beautiful, just like her mother. Being an aunt's daughter-in-law is not easy. Yuyuan remembers that she never remembers her junior's name, Yuzhen Min'er barks at festive occasions, and the junior who is called the wrong name doesn't bother to correct her. What a horrible woman. There is still a trace of concern in Yu Yuan's heart. Memorial service begins. Yuyuan's mother also came and sat in the back. She waved lightly. Mrs. Zhuang gently sat beside her daughter. She whispered, "I thought you weren't free." Yu Yuan smiled and held his mother's hand. "Didn't you say you were going to New York for a meeting?" "Reschedule, we will go tomorrow." Everyone started singing hymns. Sitting in front of Yuyuan was Chen Yunxin, a relative of his aunt's natal family, with a watch of three thousand miles, and also Yuyuan's cousin. Back then he was quite interested in Yuyuan, and he had asked her out several times, but unfortunately he couldn't pass his aunt's test. Yuyuan has a good impression of him, Chen is an honest man and quiet. She nodded to him. When Chen Yunxin saw Yuyuan, he was stunned for a moment, and after saying hello, he lowered his head slowly, and couldn't help but sneak another glance at her, and then another. He has always liked her thick eyebrows and big eyes, as well as her beautiful and stubborn expression. After seeing her for several years, she has become more and more beautiful. The shy orphan girl in those days is now full of confidence, and her whole body is full of brilliance. Even if her mother hadn't objected, he wasn't sure he would catch her. Yuyuan told Chen Yunxin early in the morning that she must do something. Her patron saint is Lawyer Lu Junshen. Lu watched her go to university, helped her start a business, and even formed a joint venture with her. He was more than 20 years older than her and had a wife. Rumors about him and Yuyuan had always been a hot topic in the city. Chen Yunxin couldn't help stretching his neck to look around, no, the barrister didn't come. The pastor read the twenty-three Psalm. "...you anointed my head with oil, you prepared a feast for me in the presence of my enemies..." Yu Yuan smiled again. Lu Junshen also arranged a banquet for her in front of her enemies, so that those who loved her, as well as those who hated her, thought it was not in vain. Yuyuan's cousin is definitely the enemy. She looked down on Yuyuan since she was a child. In her mind, Yuyuan Shuiyuan is an orphan who has been wronged under her roof. She can bully her as much as she wants. She doesn't believe that Yuyuan will become stronger. Even if she is, she is not afraid. She has Mother backs it up. After Yuyuan moved away for a long time, she went to spy on the financial situation of Zhuang's mother and daughter, very malicious and jealous. It was completely presumptuous, she regarded Yu Yuan as an imaginary enemy, as long as Yu Yuan was present, she would be offended naturally. At this time, she secretly looked at Yuyuan: the classically tailored and well-fitting suit was extremely expensive, the shoes and purse were all made of crocodile skin, and she was wearing a men's thin platinum watch on her hand. The light is like snow, it looks like Yuyuan is really shaking. The two cousins ​​went to the same university. The cousin pursued a top student in the Department of Architecture, but the boy fell in love with the cousin. Since then, the cousin has been at odds with the cousin. What is Zhuang Yuyuan?It's her poor and musty relative! After hearing this, the boy felt more sympathy for Zhuang Yuyuan. The boy later married someone else. Mrs. Zhuang whispered, "Zhang Zhu is sitting over there." Yu Yuan nodded. "So much fat." "Living in a foreign country is the easiest way to gain weight." If you are fat, you will look dirty and lazy. When he came back from the funeral, he was even more careless about dressing up, and he looked three to five or seven years older than Yu Yuan. Yuyuan didn't expect Zhang Zhu to thank her so quickly. An ambitious girl in college suddenly got registered in a small foreign town and lived and worked in peace and contentment with a home that cost two thousand dollars. It's not that Yuyuan doesn't envy her cousin in her heart, but she is unwilling to let her learn to be that kind of little housewife, and her feelings are conflicted. Yu Yuan also hopes that in the near future, he can start a family and live an ordinary and simple life. He will treat watching TV as a major event in his life, and drink tea and watch a show in his free time. , from bland to more bland. I'm afraid that after the scene is too big, it will be difficult to get off the back of a tiger, so Yuyuan thinks that she will not have a day in the kitchen. She looks down. The relatives who looked down on her mother and daughter in the past are all here. It's hard to be transparent. She didn't ask anyone for a loan or credit, she didn't know what to do, and avoided them all, as if Yuyuan was carrying a time bomb, which would explode at any moment and indiscriminately injure innocent people. On the other end is the cousin who makes electrical appliances, and he is no longer in charge. The business is handed over to his daughter. This cousin has never been polite to Yuyuan. The two were in the same car, and when it was mentioned that everyone lived nearby, Yu Yuan said politely, "I'll come and visit when I'm free." The cousin's expression changed: "We'll move, right away." It seems that moving is worthwhile in order to avoid Yuyuan. Yu Yuan laughed at himself as a villain, remembering these details so firmly, and buried them in his heart on weekdays, and would pull them out to revisit them when he had time. Without Lu Junshen, there would be no Zhuang Yuyuan. After the establishment of Shenyuan Company, relatives and friends became friendly one after another. First, they tentatively checked to see if Yuyuan held any grudges. When they found out that she hadn’t, they immediately canceled the past. No one mentioned the hardships of those years. Doubtful. Everyone's acting skills are so good, and she is the only audience, so she has to pay some price, and when she can help them, she is very generous. Therefore, my uncle died, and my aunt informed Zhuang's mother and daughter herself. What regrets, there should be none. Such a capable aunt thinks she is an arm, and it is not easy for her to change her mind. The last time Yuyuan bothered her was because of her mother. Mrs. Zhuang lost her energy and passed out in the bathroom. Yuyuan was in a hurry, so he called his uncle, and his aunt answered, who promised to come right away. Ten minutes later, my aunt made a call: "Your uncle said, it's too late, and I'm not in good health, so you can take care of it yourself." In a lazy tone. It was only twelve o'clock at midnight. This kind of woman separates her natal family from her husband's family very clearly. For half of her married life, her husband's family pays for her food, clothing, housing and transportation, but she is extremely loyal to her natal family and cannot devote herself to her husband's family. She often "you and us": Your nephew is not my nephew. , your sister has nothing to do with me, your parents have nothing to do with me... It was that night that she found Lu Junshen with a trembling voice. When he appeared, he was tall, strong and reliable like a god, Yu Yuan went over and buried his head in his arms. That year, she was seventeen years old. Lu Junshen said to Yu Yuan: "Don't get angry, people like that should do that kind of thing." Yu Yuan remained calm. Even today, after turning over, I have never been complacent. When I think of it, I only feel deeply sad. It was early in the morning when my aunt informed her that her uncle had passed away and asked for her permission to have her name published in the obituary. When Yu Yuan was washing his face, he was a little confused because he couldn't bear this kind of grace. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, he couldn't help but murmured, "Zhuang Yuyuan, maybe you're really shaking." After reading the scriptures, they continued to sing hymns. Lu Junshen asked Yuyuan: "What is my status in your heart?" Yuyuan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You are mine." Lu Junshen said pitifully, "That's what I always say." The rumors outside are ugly, and it has been said that Mrs. Zhuang had something to do with Lu, otherwise who would be interested in helping orphans and widows.Later, when her daughter grew up, Lu was simply honest and blunt... It is also true that Yuyuan has never had a date. At the end of the service, bow your head and pray silently. Yuyuan heard her aunt burst into tears suddenly. The uncle obeyed her every word, obeyed everything, and took good care of her. Even her cousin who was sneaked out by swimming from her natal family could come in and play mahjong together. But the old-fashioned woman has another merit. She likes to describe herself as the rest of her life after a catastrophe. She always tells her husband that she is not easy to serve. If she talks too much, the prophecy comes true. The uncle finds a girlfriend. The aunt’s dynasty suddenly collapses. But it became sour and bitter. Mrs. Zhuang asked, "Can you go up the mountain?" Yu Yuan nodded. The file left the chapel, came to the gate, and boarded the car one after another. Yuyuan saw Lu Junshen's big black car waiting for her. Everyone saw it. Especially Chen Yunxin, ashamed of himself, retreated to the side of the road to hail a streetcar. Yuyuan said to his mother, "You take my car, I'll go over and have a look." As she approached, the driver had already opened the door. Lu Junshen sat in the carriage and waved to her. She sat down beside him. "How did you come?" "Accompany you," he said, "Tomorrow you are going to New York, and you will be there for more than ten days. I want to take this opportunity to get together more." Yu Yuan smiled. "It was a good funeral." "It's a pity that there is no one who is really sad, and my uncle's girlfriend can't openly come in and bow." 虽然毓元也不能确实那女人会不会伤心。 她说：“舅舅做生意确有才华，生活上未免有点胡涂，一生为两个女人控制，”她停一停，“她们说什么，他听什么，著了迷似的，查实是最普通的女人，他却来不及要报她们知遇之恩。” “男人总怕女人噜嗦。” 毓元笑：“你怕我吗，你才不怕。”陆俊申不语。 “我父亲也不听母亲的话，叫他戒烟，直戒了十年，结果肺癌。” 陆俊申看她一眼。 车子跟队驶向坟场。 “很多人认为定要长得好才能使男人俯首称臣，但那全是无必要的，家母比谁都美，一点用也没有。” “怎么没有，”陆氏说：“生了个同她一般漂亮的女儿。” 他自车座的小酒吧里取出水晶拔兰地瓶子，斟了一点给毓元。 毓元很需要这杯酒。 陆俊申看著她雪白的面孔。 他头一次见到毓元，她才十六岁，已经是美人。 可怜的孤女，寄人篱下，不是不肯低头，奈何得势的亲戚跟前太多拍马屁的人，不需要庄毓元侍候。 三言两语就挤了她们母女出局。 是他替她们置的房子，哪里有什么鬼遗产，毓元的父亲早已投机失败，什么都没剩下。 母女明知如此，每月仍自陆氏处接过生活费，根本不知何以图报。 陆俊申不敢向自己承认这一切，都是为著小毓元，为看她悲恸的大眼睛，逼切求助的神情，注定的，见过如许多大场面的著名大律师竟遭了迷惑。 这样的关系，维持了十年。 谁也没有说话，他的妻子，女孩的母亲，都装作不知道。 他让她大学毕业，他栽培她成为小一辈生意人才中佼佼者，他甚至替她介绍男朋友。 毓元全部坦然接受，男友在内，不过从不长久，止于三次约会。 乏味，她说。 而事实上是他们好奇心太强，不止打听她的历史，使她烦腻。 申元公司做出场面来之后，她与同年龄的异性开始疏远，近两三年更加绝了迹。 自有追求失败者出去渲染：庄毓元是陆俊申的人，不能碰。 陆俊申说：“交通挤塞。” "Ai." “来回恐怕要三个小时。” “最后一次送他。” “怪他吗？” “不怪，倒底也照顾过我们一段日子。” 陆俊申点点头。 想起来，他问：“你母亲身体怎么样？” “不错，我让她吃燕窝，环境好转，不愁没朋友。” 陆俊申忽然问：“你呢？” “我，”毓元笑，“我怎么样？” “你快不快乐？” “我小时候想的一切，如今都在掌握中，连小时候不敢想的，现在都有了，怎么不快乐。” 陆俊申凝视她：“这是由衷之言？” “嘿，倘若不是，叫我──” “得了得了。”陆俊申笑说。 毓元看著车外风景，他们正驶过条繁忙肮脏的街道，四周围小贩摆生意，地下泥泞不堪。 过了一会儿，她说：“我说的是真话。” 倘若一直舅母家住下去，少不免成为她的丫环，一边感恩一边苦笑。 幸亏舅母不能容物。 倘若舅母好心地说“毓元，你不要见外，大家自己人，有粥吃粥，有饭吃饭，尽管放心住”，那就完了，那就再也没有今日的庄毓元。 说得夸张一点，毓元真想向舅舅舅母一鞠躬，多谢他们连桌上的渣滓都不肯施舍。 "What are you thinking?" “啊，纽约的春装不知摆出来没有。” “女孩子就净担心这些。” 毓元说：“也许趁周末飞巴黎去买，便宜三分一。” “几时省起来了？” "Arrived." “我在车里等你。” 毓元下车，众人好奇的看著她，把她当作明星。 确是，她确是这个家族的明星。 仪式完毕，众人纷纷上前安慰遗孀。 舅母恢复了镇静。 她向毓元道谢：“这次多亏你。” 毓元抿抿嘴，不置可否。 “明天动身去谈生意？” "yes." “去那么久，要不要我这里派个人来陪你母亲，她怕不怕静？”， afraid? 毓元猛然抬起头来，不信她舅母会说出这种话来，她怕毓元母亲怕静？ 十多年来，从来没有任何人怕过她们怕任何事情。 忽然之间，当年把她们赶走的亲戚，竟为这等小事周到起来，使足智多谋、八面玲珑的毓元觉得难以应付。 太戏剧化了。 她没有感动，没有感慨，亦不觉滑稽，又深深的悲哀，奇怪，怎么当年叫孤儿寡妇搬走的时候，却没人怕她们会倒毙街头？ 当下只听得庄太太回道：“才三千尺地方，怕什么静？” 毓元没听下去，这是她母亲扬眉吐气的时刻，不是她的。 她回到车上。 “可以走了？”陆俊申问。 她闭上双目，点点头。 “你要把过去埋葬掉，”陆俊申说：“一直记著那些事，对你丝微好处都没有。” 毓元不出声。 才昨夜，她就做这个梦，梦见舅舅舅母，联同所有的亲戚，来逼她走：“走！不要你住我们家，快走。”扯著她膀子，推她出门。 梦中，毓元很平静地说：“走就走，马上走。”果然立刻夺门而逃，隐约间又自觉不用怕，又同自己说：“你现在有钱了。” 好不容易，一身大汗挣扎著自噩梦中醒来，毓元感谢上苍，目前她拥有的一切。 失去的何必去想它。 得到的才是最好的。 陆俊申就是欣赏她这一点成熟。 他说：“你要同过去说再见，毓元。” 她抬起头来，“早就永别了。” “是吗，真的？” “以后我努力，挣扎，精益求精，都是为我自己，再也不是为他们，我已经报答了他们，够了。” 陆俊申笑，握紧她的手。 车子向高等住宅区驶去。 真的忘记了吗，烙印是那么深刻，因为永远不能丢开，所以她一直装成全然不记得的样子。 “下个月你生日。” 毓元说是。 “要不要庆祝一下？” 她摇摇头，“谁没有生日，何用闹得天下皆知，多小家子气。”但凡你有，人必然也有，且更大更好更高，不必招摇。 “随得你。” 车子驶向山上，环境突然开朗，一路树木丰茂，打开车窗，可以享受鸟语花香。 到了家门口，毓元同陆俊申话别，女佣早替她开了门。 她一边走进屋内，一边脱去外衣鞋子。 一直到露台，站定，往下看，这是一个没有雾的晴天，益发显得山脚是山脚，山腰是山腰，阶级分明。
