Chapter 9 Chapter nine

Although Cheng Zhen was ill, his mind was still clear. He had already broken up and wanted to know more. Dong Xin was really obstinate, so Cheng Zhen was slightly at a loss, "Is Mrs. Sun dissatisfied with that house of yours?" Naturally, Dong Xin wouldn't let the process go so easily, "Someone saw you two meeting each other." "Mrs. Sun came to ask me how to grow roses, so I had to introduce our gardener to her." "It's not her, it's him." "Jerry the gardener? He used to come regularly every ten days." Having said that, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but smile.

Dong Xin looked at her sharply, "Okay, I just pretend that I haven't heard the rumors. My lawyer said that if I conduct a thorough investigation and find evidence, I don't need any of my property." Share half of it with you. " Cheng Zhen finally couldn't help it, "Dong Xin, save yourself, just keep your net worth and how much money you have, just keep it for yourself, I rely on my son-in-law and daughter, and it's enough for a lifetime. Don't forget that I still have hands, go quickly, so that my ears will be quiet." Dong Xin was speechless, turned around and left.

Only then did Cheng Zhen realize that he had lost a lot of weight and his complexion was not good. This was the last time she saw him, right? In the end, they always fight to say the worst words in the world, causing the other party to experience the greatest embarrassment in the world. So, if you love someone, don't live with him or get married. Maintain a vast distance, meet by chance, pay tribute with admiring eyes, be gentle and gentle, and ask "how are you?" Once a year is enough. Cheng Zhen burst into tears. Taking a look in the mirror, she was very withered and thin in the sick bed. With this appearance, she is only suitable to see someone she doesn't love. Not loving each other has the advantages of not loving each other, and she has no scruples.

She fell asleep on her side on the bed. When he woke up again, he saw someone standing with his back to the window, wearing a dark suit, Cheng Zhen coughed, and the person turned around. Cheng Zhen showed a disappointed look. The man asked in surprise, "Are you waiting for someone?" Cheng Zhen nodded. "I'm Smith, your chief doctor." "Hello, doctor." "That man, he didn't come?" He checked for her. "No, doctor." "No problem, you'll find more new friends after recovery." "I think so too, doctor." "My advice is that when it's cold, it's best to stay indoors to prevent germs from taking advantage of your weak body."

"Yes, doctor." He picked up the glucose bottle, "I'll drink this drink after I leave the hospital." Cheng Zhen had no choice but to smile bitterly. She stayed for four days and was released from the hospital. Cheng Gong and Xiao Chuan took care of her together. This made her very proud, "Look, you can get a pair of good children without any effort." Each has its own reasons. Don't envy others. When I got home, I saw five of the same exquisite flower baskets lined up, "Who gave it to me?" I looked at the card and saw the words Yuan Xiaocheng written on it.

She has not forgotten her, and pays tribute every day. In addition, there was a large stack of letters and faxes waiting to be answered on the desk, and the disciples would do their best to help them. Cheng Gong and Xiao Chuan read the letters to her, and then she dictated them and they recorded them. The children took care of her for half a month. One day, when she decided to go to the street, Xiao Chuan immediately said, "I'll drive." Heh, he has already got his driver's license. In the car, Cheng Zhen asked, "How is Mom?" "Much better, she greets you."

"Take more pictures for her to see." "It's not expensive to develop photos here." "It's a small meaning, and it must make the Master Ling feel very comforted." When he arrived at the destination, Zhao Xiaochuan knew that his aunt was going to sign for a divorce. He was sad, but he didn't notice any unpleasant look on his aunt. Ogawa thought, adults are really amazing at controlling their emotions. I saw the aunt listening to the lawyer explain a few words, she didn't even take off her gloves, she held the pen, signed the name, and ended the marriage contract.

Xiao Chuan saw his aunt suddenly smiled, as if he was relieved. He left with her. In the elevator lobby, they ran into two women. One of them is Yuan Xiaocheng. Cheng Zhen was startled, and Yuan Xiaocheng was also surprised. Cheng Zhen responded immediately, "Thank you for the flower basket." Yuan Xiaocheng's face was calm: "I'm not paying respects, are you in good health?" "Healed up, thank you Mrs. Sun for your greetings." Yuan Xiaocheng suddenly said: "I am no longer Mrs. Sun, I have divorced Yuchuan." Cheng Zhen wasn't surprised, but was obsequious.

At this time, another sensible child like Zhao Xiaochuan came to rescue him, "Auntie, the elevator is here." He helped her put on her coat. These days, without Xiao Chuan, I really don't know what to do. Cheng Zhen said goodbye to Yuan Xiaocheng. When returning home, Cheng Zhen asked Xiao Chuan to drive to the top of the mountain for a circle, and saw the house that Dong Xin built at the beginning put up a sign for sale. Yuan Xiaocheng only lived there for a few months. Because the time is short, everything is in a trance, let alone real. The car turned around and went home.

On the private road, there is a small red sports car parked. Cheng is really surprised, who is this? Seeing that Xiao Chuan blushed immediately, Cheng Zhen knew it. Xiao Chuan went up to meet her, a girl got out of the car, and the two immediately whispered. Cheng Zhenxi saw Xiao Chuan put into the new environment and new personnel, she opened the door and entered the house alone. After a while, Xiao Chuan came in and said, "Auntie, let me go out for a while." "Have fun." Xiao Chuan suddenly said, "Auntie, take care of yourself." He seemed to have a sixth sense.

Cheng Zhen smiled, "I see." Xiao Chuan added, "Don't open the door." "You are like my elder, go and go." The two young people went out together, and Cheng Zhen was at home alone. The phone rang, and she ran to listen to it. After a while, no one made a sound at the other end, Cheng Zhen hung up hastily, and she muttered that there are such annoying headless phones all over the world. Sit down, open the pictorial, and within two pages, someone rings the doorbell. Cheng Zhenyi Lin. Looking around, she found Yuan Xiaocheng standing outside the door. She was wearing a fuchsia suit, well-groomed, and her complexion was normal. Xiao Chuan's warning suddenly came from Cheng Zhen's ear: be careful, and don't open the door. The headless phone call ten minutes ago must have been from her. She wanted to check that Cheng Zhen was at home. Cheng Zhen was hesitating, but Yuan Xiaocheng had already said: "Cheng Zhen, are you home? Please open the door, I will leave after a while." Cheng Zhen couldn't avoid it, the garden house was surrounded by emptiness, no matter which window you could see someone in the house. Cheng Zhen bit the bullet to open the door, and was forced to say with a smile: "What wind brought you here?" "Are you home alone?" Cheng Zhen said abruptly, "Yes, I am alone." Yuan Xiaocheng came in and sat down. Cheng Zhen asked, "Has the house been sold?" "There are a lot of people looking at it, but not many people bidding. Selling things is just annoying." Cheng Zhen laughed, and his guard was reduced by three points. "It doesn't matter," Yuan Xiaocheng continued, "Leave it to the real estate agent." Unexpectedly, a brand new bungalow changed hands in just a few months. Cheng Zhen didn't pour out the drink, but only hoped that Yuan Xiaocheng would leave quickly. She wasn't afraid of her, but she really had nothing to talk about. She sat in an easy chair farther away. Yuan Xiaocheng said, "I heard that you broke up with Dong Zeshi." "You don't have to listen, you ask me, and I'll tell you." "So, the Feng Shui of the house is not good." Cheng Zhenxiao, "Really, you who grew up and educated in a foreign country believe in this?" Yuan Xiaocheng was helpless, "It's human nature to find an excuse to shirk responsibility." Well said. But she went on to ask, "Have you seen Yu Chuan?" Cheng Zhen remained calm, "Long time no see." "How long is a long time?" Cheng Zhen raised his head and thought for a while, "I can't remember anymore." Yuan Xiaocheng smiled, "Most people think that Sun Yuchuan is perfect." Cheng Zhen was noncommittal, and she became more and more uncomfortable. "However, getting along day and night is another matter." Cheng Zhen replied perfunctorily, "We are not the same either." "What do you think is good about Yuchuan?" Cheng Zhen stood up, "Hey, there is the sound of a car." She walked to the door, but Yuan Xiaocheng was faster than her and quickly blocked the door. "You heard me wrong," she said in a melancholy tone, "Who will come to us now?" At this point, Cheng Zhen had to say: "I have something to go out." Yuan Xiaocheng turned his head and said in surprise: "Sit down for a while, you're in such a hurry, where are you going?" Her tone was a bit strange, as if Cheng Zhen was sitting in her home and she was the master. Cheng Zhen looked at her, "Mrs. Sun, I want to go out." Yuan Xiaocheng covered his face with his hands, "I told you, I am no longer Mrs. Sun." Cheng Zhen felt sympathetic, "Then why do you care about when and who Sun Yuchuan met?" She slowly lowered her hands, as if she had an epiphany. "He has nothing to do with you. Those who hold on to the past have no future." "I broke up with him just for the future." "Then forget the past." Yuan Xiaocheng gradually calmed down, "You are quite right." She sat down again. This time, a car really approached from a distance and stopped in front of the door. Cheng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. "A car is coming." She walked through the gate again, this time, Yuan Xiaocheng did not block the way. Cheng Zhen opened the door, and Zhao Xiaochuan was outside. When Xiao Chuan saw Ms. Yuan, he immediately winked and said loudly, "Auntie, everyone is waiting for you alone. If you are in a hurry, ask me to pick you up." Cheng Zhen said, "I'll come right away." Yuan Xiaocheng nodded, "Then I will take my leave." Zhao Xiaochuan quickly said: "The greeting is not thoughtful." He left the door wide open and sent the unwelcome Ms. Yuan away. Cheng Zhen smiled, "You are very capable." Xiao Chuan was silent for a while before saying: "At home, I am best at dealing with creditors who come to me." Cheng Zhen said, "Fortunately, you came back in time." "I told you not to open the door." "She knows I'm home." "You can call the police for help." "It's not good, you have to save face." "Auntie, you'd better move." Cheng Zhen smiled, "I am most afraid of hearing these two words. Look at me, I have already hoarded so many things, how can I move them?" "Auntie, let's go out for a cup of tea." Cheng Zhen knew that Xiao Chuan wanted her to relax. He was driving, she was looking at the scenery, before going down the mountain, Xiao Chuan said: "Auntie, someone is following us." Cheng Zhen turned his head to take a look, and found that it was Yuan Xiaocheng who was following them. She was driving the car very closely, and it would collide at any time. Xiao Chuan was very calm, and handed over the mobile phone to Cheng Zhen, "Call the police." Cheng Zhen was still hesitating. Zhao Xiaochuan stepped on the accelerator and the car accelerated, but the car behind him caught up like a shadow, and the front of the car touched their rear. Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't bear it, grabbed the phone and dialed the 911 emergency line. At the foot of the mountain, the two cars were stopped by police cars. Cheng Zhen jumped out of the car immediately, and she couldn't help but want to reprimand Yuan Xiaocheng. But the rear door opened, and the female driver who was asked to get out of the car by the police was a foreign woman. Yes, she was wearing a red suit, but she had brown hair and blue eyes. Cheng Zhen saw the wrong person. Xiao Chuan checked the car body and found that the taillight of the left car had been smashed. The other party smelled of alcohol and was prosecuted by the police. Said a female police officer: "She admitted to driving while intoxicated." The lady fell on the car and wept bitterly. "She complained that someone abandoned her," the policewoman said. After registration, Cheng Zhen and the others left. However, Cheng Zhen could swear that what she saw in the rear-view mirror just now was obviously Yuan Xiaocheng with upside down eyebrows. Suspicion begets dark charm. Cheng Zhen was in a trance again. "……remember." Cheng Zhen asked Xiao Chuan: "What did you say?" "If you encounter this kind of thing again, don't open the door and call the police for help immediately." Don't worry too much. " "Auntie, you don't know how to take care of yourself, it makes me anxious." "You care about me, of course you think so, but in the eyes of my enemies, I am an old goblin." Cheng Zhen said with emotion. Xiao Chuan shook his head while laughing. "Xiao Chuan, do you like it here?" Xiao Chuan nodded sincerely, "I really didn't expect such a good place. The people, the scenery, the water and the soil are all beautiful." "Especially girls." Cheng Zhen added a sentence for him. Ogawa was shy. "Then, stay here." Cheng Zhen sighed. "Hey, auntie, how about you?" "I want to go back." Ogawa was silent. "You can take root and start all over again, but I am so attached to the past that I can't be myself." Xiao Chuan suddenly asked: "Is it mainly because of Dong Zeshi?" "I let him down. I'm not a good housekeeper." Xiao Chuan said: "I thought that if two people are together, they only need to share the same interests. Cheng Zhen laughed, "We will talk about this issue in ten years, and you will understand it better." That night, Cheng Zhen caught one dream after another, and when he woke up in the morning, it was only half past four. She never dreamed when she had work, she was so tired that she collapsed on the bed, and her mind was completely rested, thinking about it now, I don't know how good it is. It's not that she can't be free, but this is not the time. The only thing that can cure her now is a busy job. She sighed and called Liu Qun. Liu Qun is so kind, he stays awake 24 hours a day. "Liu Qun, how is work?" "Colleagues walk away, die and die. As an editor, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. It's very embarrassing." "Why don't you train newcomers?" "I asked this question before, but now I realize that talents in this industry are hard to come by. You can't find them at any time in the literature department of a university. In other words, you need talent to do literary work. Competent and organized." Cheng Zhen smiled, "You have to try." "Why not try, practically hold their hand and teach them to write." "Let's play freely with young people." Liu Qun sighed, "You'll understand when you come back and take a look. It's not about what happened." "I'll be right back." "I only heard the sound of the stairs, but no one came down." "I'll come back and help you." "At this moment, the route, direction, and position of the newspaper have all been slightly modified from before. Can you adapt?" "I need a hard-working job." "Come to my place to be a house assistant, Cheng Zhen. Being a reporter today is not as good as in the past. The writing is more restrained than before, the wording is roundabout, and the views are ambiguous. Can you bear it?" "Liu Qun," Cheng Zhen was surprised, "it seems that you are the one who can't stand it." "Yes, I have also decided to retire." "What?" Cheng Zhen was taken aback, "I thought you would die on the job." "No, I'm ready to retire and write my memoirs." "where do you want to go?" "Singapore." Banana grove and coconut rain, a good place. "When?" Cheng Zhen asked in a daze. "Soon." "then what do I do?" Liu Qun suddenly smiled ferociously, "Like all ungrateful people, you can't come back, hahahahaha." "Is the press really going to retreat?" "It's no wonder that many people are gearing up to welcome the new era. Cheng Zhen, everyone has their own ambitions. You and I are old and pedantic. We have burdens and can't think about it, so we have to retreat." Cheng Zhen dejectedly said, "Yes, in any situation, there are people who can ride the wind like a fish in water." "Even I said that I can't get along, so it's a bit difficult." "Liu Qun, come here, I'll take care of you." Cheng Zhen burst out with pride. "Bah! You think I'm Zhao Xiaochuan? One tuition fee and two sets of clothes are worth a year. You want to support me? You have to dig a lot of gold mines, otherwise your whole family won't be able to handle it." Cheng Zhen protested weakly, "I have good intentions." "I heard that Xiaochuan is living a good life?" "Young man, you can see scenery everywhere." "And you?" "After breaking up with Dong Xin, I was depressed and had no sustenance. It was like a dream during the day and a wandering ghost at night. The situation is not good." "No wonder you want to come back to work." "I miss the excitement of opening a newspaper and seeing my column on the headlines." Liu Qun suddenly said: "Did you take the lead in saying this? Too good things will never last forever." "Yes, it's me." Liu Qun sighed, "We are already lucky enough. I have been in this industry for 20 years, which is good enough and long enough." After finishing speaking, she quietly hung up the phone. Cheng Zhen was even more depressed. At dawn, I went to the window and saw that it was a foggy day. The ships sounded their horns one after another, whimpering in bewilderment, like a lost child whimpering. Cheng Zhen stood in front of the window for a long time. Suddenly, he saw a face emerging from the fog. Cheng Gong!Cheng Zhen smiled, this was the person she most wanted to see at the moment. She hurried to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, but there was no one there, Cheng Zhen was surprised, why, misread again?Are you really in a trance? "Mom," Cheng Gong's face appeared from the mist again, "you forgot to get the letter yesterday." Cheng Gong went inside, took off his coat, and started making breakfast. "Xiao Chuan is still sleeping?" "Don't disturb him, do your homework every night until late at night." Cheng Gong laughed, "Another Chinese student who bears the burden of humiliation and has an elation complex. Foreign students always don't understand why we study so hard. It would be best to ask Zhao Xiaochuan to speak out." "You came today because of Xiao Chuan?" "No," Cheng Gong poured coffee to his mother, "Xiao Chuan said someone harassed you, do you want to move to avoid it?" Cheng Zhen replied after a while: "If you want to look for it, you will definitely find me." Unexpectedly, Cheng Gong understood it very well, "Yes, you can find it if you move it, why not move it?" There was a pun in his words. Cheng Zhen was sad, "I haven't seen him for a long time." "how long?" "I don't remember." "Did you see St. John after his party?" "Is that the last time?" Cheng Gong was surprised, "We haven't seen each other for so long!" Cheng Zhen said sadly, "So, this matter has come to an end." Cheng Gong remained silent, which showed that she agreed with this statement. Cheng Gong raised his head and thought for a while, "No matter what the ending is, it's better than getting married." Cheng Gong was surprised, "Even you think so, are you going to get married soon?" Cheng Gong laughed, "Married life is very suitable for me. I have never had a stable home in my life. As long as I achieve my goal, I will be willing to sacrifice and compromise. Others will not be wronged like that." Cheng Gong is one of the few girls who has no fantasy or longing for life. She went on: "I have already started discussing the details of the wedding with Tom. It is like drafting a contract. It is very cumbersome. I am impatient several times, but I don't make it clear. I am afraid that I will lose money in the future, so I don't mind the trouble. Everything is clearly listed. , Many women only say before marriage: I hope he treats me well, what is good? There will inevitably be conflicts in the future, so it is better to list the conditions: a year's household is worth tens of millions, and it is best to follow the order... "Cheng Gong chuckled. "Are you in love?" Cheng Gong solemnly declared: "I will not make any demands on those who do not love me." Cheng Zhen laughed in astonishment, "I was too sloppy." He was deeply moved. Cheng Gong looked out the window, "The fog is so strange today," he turned his head, "Do you miss him?" Cheng Zhen replied, "Very bitter." Just as Cheng Gong felt so full of breath, Zhao Xiaochuan opened the door and came out, "Sister, I smell the smell of baking bread." Cheng Gong was very angry, "You bastard sleeps and eats and you spoil the scenery, who is your sister!" Xiao Chuan was scolded for no reason and chased Cheng Gong to look good, and the two chased in the living room. Cheng Zhen sighed: "If there are no children, the world will really sink." Cheng Gong resentfully said, "What child, a child with a height of 180 centimeters?" Everyone finally sat down. Only then did Cheng Gong talk about serious matters, "Tom heard that you are looking for a job." "Yes, what does he suggest?" "There is a consortium in this city who wants to run a real estate magazine——" Cheng Zhen immediately shook his head, "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, I am used to doing newspapers and magazines that sell hundreds of thousands." Cheng Gong was silent. "Thank you Tom for me." "Mother--" "Flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden, there will be such a day, there is no need to force it." Xiao Chuan suddenly said: "Auntie would rather open a flower shop." Cheng Gong rolled his eyes at him, "What are you talking about?" "Xiao Chuan is right, I may open a shop specializing in pot stickers and steamed buns." Cheng Gong nodded, "However, for the time being, move to the apartment for a few days, and I will prepare everything for you." "Is there a heated pool?" "Olympic size." At noon that day, Cheng Zhen moved there carrying a small suitcase. The fog still persisted, and the news reporters were amazed. The security of the apartment house was thoughtful, and there were several gates. The two children finally felt relieved and went off to do serious business separately. Cheng Zhen walked to the small study and saw a stack of manuscript paper on the desk. Cheng Gong was so thoughtful and thought of everything. She sat down and suddenly wanted to write a manuscript, picked up the pen, and wrote the first sentence on the first page: I feel that getting married, either at a very young age, or at the end of life, during a period of time, is definitely a failure many. I haven't held a pen for a long time, my fingers are blunt, and when the strokes are about to turn, I always can't turn them. But Cheng Zhen kept writing. After it's finished, it's nothing more than an ordinary romance novel, but when it's written, it's as happy as Cheng Zhen's, so there's no need to worry about the result. She has been writing more than 5,000 words, and everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that she has started, she hopes that her writing will continue to flow like a spring, bubbling, unstoppable, clear and delicious, and long-term writing will last forever. She put down her pen, touched her stiff neck, and looked out the window. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already dark. In winter, the sun sets early, and many new immigrants are particularly afraid of this. She put on her coat and hat, and planned to go out to eat some Italian food nearby. The car drove out of the parking lot, only to realize that the fog had not cleared, coupled with the light rain, it was bone-chillingly cold. This extremely bad and unbearable weather brought back many memories of Cheng Zhen. Her worst habit was to think about things while driving. Sure enough, she missed the overpass and drove to the side road, and had to make a big detour to get to the city center. In fog and rain, the visual range is only about ten meters. She tried to turn around, but when she was falling backwards, she suddenly heard the sound of the taillights of the car cracking. At first Cheng Zhen thought he had bumped into a lamp post, but suddenly the light turned on behind him, and it turned out to be someone else's car. Cheng Zhen sighed, ready to get out of the car to reason. But, wait a minute, she froze in the parking space, who is this? She locked the car door immediately, picked up her mobile phone, dialed the nearby police station, told the location of her car, and asked for help. At this time, someone tapped on her car window lightly. Cheng Zhen calmed down instead. Of course she didn't intend to open the window, she sat still, holding the phone. The other party will make it difficult for her, unless the car window is broken with a heavy object. The man didn't walk away, and knocked on the roof of the car twice more. When there was no response, the man walked to the front of the car and wiped the fog from the window with his sleeve. Sitting in the car, Cheng Zhen heard the rhythmic sound of ping bang ping bang, and after a long while, she realized that it was her own heartbeat. The mist wiped away, and the man leaned closer to his face. Cheng Zhen opened her eyes wide, then she dropped the phone and opened the car window, "It's you, Yu Chuan?" I'm afraid it will be dazzled again. But she heard someone say with certainty: "It's me." Cheng Zhen originally wanted to ask him why he was so elusive, and how he found out that she had moved, but all these became unimportant. She finally sees him again. Cheng Zhen gets out of the car. Sun Yuchuan didn't approach her, he looked at her, "I heard that you are sick." "No problem." "I've been busy lately." "So long time no see." At this time, the police car approached with whining, but Sun Yuchuan was not surprised, the police car stopped near them. The police immediately came to investigate and question, found nothing wrong, gave a few warnings, and then left. Cheng Zhen parked the car, and sat down in the small park with Sun Yuchuan. Strange to say, the fog gradually dissipated, as if I had been busy all day, just to cause a misunderstanding tonight, and it disappeared without a trace after the merits and virtues were completed. Cheng Zhen sat on the bench, silent. Sun Yuchuan said, "I want to talk to you about the future." Cheng Zhen smiled, "In the future, I will follow you to visit your father's hall and accept their strict scrutiny?" Sun Yuchuan remained silent. "Then, take Yuan Xiaocheng's old position and try to do better than her?" Sun Yuchuan said: "You are still so frank." Cheng Zhen ignored him, "Yuchuan, I'm not interested in your world, Yuchuan, come to my world." Sun Yuchuan was surprised, "No one has ever asked me to do that." Cheng Zhen smiled, "Yes, you forgot." Sun Yuchuan bowed, "Who?" "That kind of friend you knew when you were a teenager must have asked for the same thing." "Oh her." "Yuchuan, although we have no power or influence, we live a comfortable and free life. Would you consider changing your lifestyle?" Sun Yuchuan shook his head without thinking, "I'm contaminated by your honesty."
