Chapter 354 Past Events
[“My dears, Xiao Sheng read Chapter 353 again and felt that some sentences didn’t make sense, so he revised them. My dears, you can go back and read it again. Muah!!!”]
Yu Pingting's eyes widened, and she screamed in despair: "Wurige! This can't be true! You are lying, right? You clearly love me deeply! We still have Yao'er between us. Yao'er is our son. How can you treat me so cruelly?"
Her voice was shrill and sharp, tears were streaming down her face like a flood, soaking her clothes. She stretched out her shaking hands and tried to grab the man in front of her.
Jun Ruhao knocked down her hands that were grabbing him: "Love you? I never loved you."
Jun Ruhao slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts gradually drifting back to the distant past. Deep in his mind, a clear and vivid picture slowly unfolded.
A girl in bright red appeared before his eyes like a burning flame. The red dress was like the most gorgeous sunset in the sky, so gorgeous that it was impossible to ignore it. The girl held a steaming bun tightly in her hand, exuding an enticing aroma, and walked step by step towards Jun Ruhao, who was still a little beggar at the time.
"Little brother, are you new here? I don't think I've ever seen you before. This meat bun is delicious. Here, let me give you a taste." The girl's clear and pleasant voice sounded like the sound of nature and entered Jun Ruhao's ears.
However, Jun Ruhao did not immediately reach out to take the fragrant bun. His life experience made him wary and cautious of strangers. At this moment, he just stood there quietly, staring at the sweet-smiling girl in front of him, as if trying to see a clue from her face.
Seeing that Jun Ruhao was reluctant to take the buns, Cheng Shiyin was not angry or impatient, but smiled even more brightly and sweetly. She took a small step forward and put the bun in Jun Ruhao's palm: "Little brother, eat it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold. And don't worry about not having enough, I have a lot here." Then she turned around and took out two buns from the basket next to her and stuffed them into the hands of the other little beggars.
In this way, Cheng Shiyin walked along the street and gave two steaming, fragrant meat buns to every beggar she met. After receiving the buns, the beggars, who were originally sad and hungry, showed surprise and gratitude on their faces. The whole street was filled with warmth and joy because of Cheng Shiyin's kindness.
From then on, every few days, Jun Ruhao could see that beautiful figure appear in front of him. Sometimes she brought big steaming buns; sometimes she brought meat buns with thin skin and big fillings, which were full of fragrance; even more surprising was that twice, he actually got an extra fat chicken leg than others!
I remember one time, Cheng Shiyin jumped in front of Jun Ruhao like a lively little bird and whispered: "Little brother, you are so handsome! Here, this chicken leg is for you, but you must not tell other friends, you have to eat it quietly." After saying that, she blinked mischievously.
Every time Cheng Shiyin came, she would chatter non-stop. "Little brother, I have good news for you. The prince is building a technical school in the suburbs of Beijing! When it is all built, I will talk to my prince and let you all go to the school to learn various skills. In this way, you can master a skill, and then you don't have to beg for a living. You can rely on your own skills to work and earn money and live a stable life!"
Jun Ruhao ate the chicken leg that Cheng Shiyin quietly stuffed into his mouth, and deep in his heart there was an indescribable warmth. His identity had always forced him to be cautious and taciturn, but at this moment, a faint smile could not help but bloom on his usually serious face.
Finally, he spoke softly with a slightly hoarse voice: "Thank you... Thank you." Although it was only a few short words, for Jun Ruhao, who had never been good at speaking, it was enough courage to express his gratitude.
"Little brother, you really don't have to be so polite! Before, I specifically mentioned to my father that I wanted you to come to our house as servants. However, my father felt that if this were the case, you would become servants of our family, which is obviously contrary to your true thoughts. After all, if you want to enter the mansion and become servants, you only need to sell yourself, and you don't have to beg here. So, I didn't tell you about this matter."
Jun Ruhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then closed it again. He thought: If I can stay by your side and protect you as a servant, it doesn't matter, but the last bit of greed made him shut up. He thought that if he could enter the school the little girl mentioned under an assumed name, he would work hard to stand by the little girl one day.
Until one day, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the bustling street - a little girl in green clothes.
The little girl in green was extremely arrogant. She covered her nose tightly with her hands, as if the air in front of her was filled with disgusting smells. She shouted with disgust on her face: "Oh, Cheng Shiyin, Cheng Shiyin, look at you, why do you always like to hang out with these stinky beggars? You are simply lowering your status and bringing shame to your family!"
However, in the face of such harsh words, little Cheng Shiyin did not care at all. She puffed out her chest and retorted confidently: "Humph! They are already pitiful enough. What's wrong with me giving them some food? Shouldn't we have even a little sympathy?"
Seeing Cheng Shiyin dare to talk back, the girl named Yu Pingting was immediately furious. She still covered her nose and sneered contemptuously: "Cheng Shiyin, what I hate most in my life is people like you who pretend to be kind and hypocritical! Come on, drive these annoying little beggars out of the capital, the farther the better! Don't let me see these dirty and smelly guys in front of me again!"
Cheng Shiyin's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, her hands were on her slender waist, her chest was heaving up and down with anger, she yelled at the top of her voice: "Yu Pingting! You are really too much! Look at them, they look so pitiful. If you really drive them out of the capital, don't you know that the only thing waiting for them is starving to death on the streets?"
Yu Pingting, on the other hand, looked up smugly, with a scornful smile on her lips, and said sarcastically, "Humph! I am happy to do this. Even if they starve to death, what does it have to do with me? Who told me that I don't like your compassionate look? Do you think you are gold? You want everyone to like you. Not only do you usually try to please the prince, but you even try to please the little beggars. You are so annoying. You all have to listen to me. If it weren't for Cheng Shiyin meddling in other people's business, how could you have ended up like this? Everything is caused by her. I have nothing to do with it!"
Cheng Shiyin was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face was flushed red. Although she was furious, the good upbringing she received since childhood prevented her from uttering those vulgar words.
"Yu Pingting, you are jealous. Whatever I do has nothing to do with a narrow-minded person like you."
At this time, Yu Pingting became more and more arrogant. She raised her chin high and shouted at the servants behind her: "What are you idiots still doing? Hurry up and do it! Drive these ignorant little beggars out of the capital!"
However, at this moment, facing the tense confrontation between the two daughters of the mansion, those usually majestic servants seemed to be cast under a spell, looking at each other, at a loss.
They secretly complained in their hearts, after all, the two people in front of them were people they could not afford to offend! On one side was the eldest daughter of their own mansion, and on the other side was also the daughter of a famous family. No matter which side they supported, they would cause themselves endless troubles.
Just when everyone was at a stalemate, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly drove by. The driver was sharp-eyed and saw the chaotic scene ahead at a glance. He quickly stopped the carriage and reported the situation to the inside. After hearing this, Yu Desheng, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned slightly and lifted the curtain to look out.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, he couldn't help but be shocked - he saw his precious daughter and a little girl in red staring at each other, and the atmosphere between them was so tense that it seemed like it could ignite at any time.
Seeing this, Yu Desheng hurriedly got off the carriage and walked quickly to the two women. When Yu Pingting saw Yu Desheng coming, her arrogant attitude suddenly increased. She puffed out her chest fearlessly and looked at Cheng Shiyin provocatively.
Although Cheng Shiyin was still young, she seemed quite calm. When she saw Yu Desheng, she showed no fear at all. Instead, she bowed to Yu Desheng gracefully and politely, and said softly, "I, Cheng Shiyin, pay my respects to Lord An Yi."
Yu Desheng looked Cheng Shiyin up and down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he had obviously recognized her identity. He smiled and nodded, and asked, "Are you the daughter of Master Cheng Zhiyuanyuan?" Cheng Shiyin nodded and replied, "Yes, my daughter. I hope Master Yu can do justice for these poor brothers and sisters for what happened today." Cheng Shiyin told Yu Desheng the reason for the confrontation between the two.
After listening to Cheng Shiyin's statement with an expressionless face, Yu Desheng casually glanced at the little beggars. They were all ragged, haggard, and exuded an unpleasant odor, which made people feel disgusted.
Yu Desheng originally wanted to take his daughter Yu Pingting away from this place of trouble as soon as possible, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
The child looked familiar. Yu Desheng frowned slightly and tried to search his mind for memories of the child. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he finally remembered where he had seen the child. It was by chance that he had seen the child from a distance on an important occasion. Although it was only a glimpse at the time, the child's unique temperament and appearance still left a deep impression on him.
Seeing this child again among the beggars, Yu Desheng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He stared at the child quietly, his heart beating wildly: "Is it him?"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly, and every possibility made him feel heavier.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Yu Desheng finally made up his mind. He knew that this incident might have a huge impact on the family, but for the future of the family, he was willing to give it a try. After taking a deep breath, Yu Desheng secretly made up his mind.
