Pretenders are unattainable

Chapter 13 The Choice Between Love and Responsibility

The two Minglou brothers were silent in the study room, each planning their actions tonight, until Ah Xiang came in to invite the two young masters to dinner, and the two brothers went into the dining room and sat down in silence.Mingcheng also returned home at this time, and entered the dining room after resting. The four brothers and sisters of the Ming family could finally sit down to eat in peace when night fell on this tiring day.

Minglou still had a grumpy face, and reprimanded Mingtai at the dinner table: "After eating, go to my room to reflect on yourself. Starting today, I will be grounded for a week!" At the same time, Minglou informed Mingcheng: "Ah Cheng, give me Take a good look at him!" Ming Jing looked at his younger brother with a playful face, and cooperated clearly: "Mingtai, you made too much trouble this time! No wonder your elder brother is angry! You stay at home for me, and by the way Take care of your body." Mingtai looked at his brothers and sisters, drooped his head and answered honestly, "Yes, I understand."

The four brothers and sisters were all full of their own worries, and after the dinner wasted, Ming Lou left the table first and bid farewell to Ming Jing: "Sister, people from the financial circles in Shanghai will have a reception tonight, and I will definitely go to the scene." Glancing at his younger brother, he nodded silently, and said: "The world is chaotic outside, so be careful." Mingcheng got up after seeing this, and said to Mingjing with a wry smile: "Sister, I have to work overtime in the office at night. Now, I don’t know how many correspondences and documents waiting for my elder brother’s instructions will pile up.” Ming Jing took a deep look at the taciturn second brother, and replied with concern: “I see, put on more clothes, outside Cool." The family's eyes turned to Mingtai, who immediately bowed his head and stood up: "I see, I'll go to my room to be confined!"

Seeing the three brothers leave the table, Ming Jing couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and Aunt Gui, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" The mottled white-haired woman said with mixed emotions: "Aunt Gui, how many times have I told you that our Ming family has no rule of requiring servants to stand up for meals, and you always refuse to listen. I always put you and A Xiang Treated as a family member, you always stick to your so-called identity, which makes me really..." Aunt Gui immediately explained: "Miss, I've gotten used to it over the years, just follow me." Ming Jing waved his hand: "That's all, it's up to you. I have a terrible headache tonight, I'm going back to my room, don't bother me if it's nothing serious." Aunt Gui Nuonuo responded.

On an early winter night, when the night was dark, Aunt Gui hurriedly walked on the street with lights on and off. When Wang Manchun called her suddenly, it must be because there was important information to check with her or a task to be issued.She raised her head to look at the night sky, and found that there were tiny snowdrops floating in the sky unconsciously. She put her hands together and brought them to her mouth, took a deep breath of steam that was steaming white mist, tightened the cotton robe around her body, and walked quickly to Walk in the direction of the fireworks.

Wang Manchun had already been waiting impatiently in the private room in the fireworks room. When she saw Aunt Gui who had slipped in, she couldn't help scolding: "Why is it so late!" Said: "You rushed to meet me, what is the matter? I have limited time, and if I come out for too long, it will arouse the suspicion of the Ming family." Wang Manchun was angry, but there was nothing he could do about this lone wolf. Right now, he could only ask her for confirmation: " Two things, first, have there been any changes in Mingtai in the past three days? Second, you found a watch in Mingtai's room, what happened?" Aunt Gui recalled it carefully, and replied seriously: "I haven't noticed any changes in Mingtai in the past three days, except that you brought him into No. 76 today. He has indeed caught a cold since the night before yesterday and was sick in bed. Dr. Su has been taking care of him at home. Dr. Su didn't leave the mansion until this morning. The watch was yesterday afternoon. Mingjing asked me to clean Mingtai’s room, saying that he was sick and closed the windows and the air was not good, so he had to clean it up. I did find that watch under his bed near the head of the bed. .It is estimated that he loves that watch, and played with it in his hand before going to sleep, and fell off the bed when he fell asleep."

Wang Manchun frowned upon hearing this, and sat stiffly on the sofa without saying a word.Aunt Gui waited for a while, she was really impatient, and asked, "You have such an urgent appointment to meet me, what is your mission?"

Wang Manchun raised his head and was about to speak, but the door of the elegant room was suddenly opened. Minglou, dressed in a long trench coat, walked in tall and straight, and said, "Manchun, you are indeed here! We must have a good talk... Before he could finish speaking, he found Aunt Gui standing next to Wang Manchun. Minglou's figure froze suddenly, and his face was full of anger in an instant: "Wang Manchun! You put eyeliner beside me!!"

Wang Manchun was stunned by this sudden change, and asked in disbelief: "Brother, why did you come here?" Minglou sneered, "Wang Manchun, do you think I don't know what you are doing under my nose?" Don’t you know the reason why I put up with you again and again? How did you become what you are now! You have changed, you have changed so much that I don’t recognize you at all!”

Wang Manchun looked affectionately at the man in front of him whom he had loved for ten years, she burst into tears unknowingly, her trembling lips could not say a word.

Minglou walked slowly towards Aunt Gui, and said contemptuously, "Aunt Gui, I didn't agree with letting you go back to the Ming family. Now it seems that you have a heavy responsibility to come back this time!"

Aunt Gui looked at the mature and prudent man in front of her. He could no longer find the youthfulness and childishness of the past on his face. What was left was forbearance and wisdom. She knew that she had no way out today, so she simply said to the end: " Hmph, the Ming family? What did the Ming family give me? Ming Jing and you keep saying that the family is a big family, generous and kind, so who drove me, a weak woman who was deceived and lost her own flesh and blood, out of the door 17 years ago? Why? Don't give me a way out? Why are you trying to force me?"

Minglou looked at this aggressive woman in disbelief, and interrupted her questioning: "Did the Ming family let you be deceived? Was it the Ming family who robbed you of your own flesh and blood? What did you say to Ah Cheng, who was only ten years old at the time?" You hit him and beat him with bruises all over his body. If the eldest sister and I hadn't brought him back to Ming's house, you would have killed him long ago! When you come back this time, eldest sister knows that staying with you will hurt Ah Cheng, even if Ah Cheng is full of reluctance. , still took you in, aren't you grateful? Is there only hatred left in your heart?"

Aunt Gui has lost her mind: "I don't know! I don't know! I only know that I was suffering from hunger and cold in the Northeast. The Japanese gave me a bite to eat, and I worked for them, so I can live until now! Unlike your Ming family, Talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality is actually shameless!"

Minglou's eyes flashed behind the lens, restraining all his emotions.He took off his glasses slowly, took out a folded handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the lenses slowly.He said slowly: "No matter what the reasons are, no matter what difficulties, I can't keep you today!" Before he could say it, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand and broke off the glasses on the frame. With a murderous intent, a cold arc was drawn on Aunt Gui's throat, and a spray of blood was drawn instantly.

Wang Manchun saw that Minglou was able to hit him with ease, and was shocked by his decisiveness. He took two steps back, covered his mouth with his hands in time to hold back the scream that almost blurted out, and asked in shock: "Brother! How could you just kill me like this?" She?" Minglou succeeded with one blow, and seeing Aunt Gui who was lying on the ground twitching, and then died of anger, continued to wipe the glasses lens with a handkerchief, put the lenses back into the frame, calmly put on the glasses, raised her eyebrows and asked: " Why, what can't you kill for such a buyer who seeks glory?"

He turned around and said solemnly to Wang Manchun: "Manchun, your hand is too long, you are destroying my trust in you little by little, and obliterating my feelings for you." After finishing speaking, lightly Sighing, he turned and prepared to leave.Seeing the expression on Minglou's face and hearing his resolute words, Wang Manchun finally couldn't control his emotions anymore. He flew forward and hugged the man's back, and pressed his face tightly against his senior brother's straight but not lost. On Nuan Yi's back, she finally burst into tears uncontrollably: "Senior brother, senior brother, don't hate me... don't hate me... I love you, and I know that my method may be wrong, but, but I really love you." I no longer know how to continue to love you, to be with you justifiably and honestly...I...Senior brother, don't leave me anymore! Don't leave me like ten years ago..."

Minglou's body is stiff, he has always known Wang Manchun's feelings for him, even though she has been forced to change beyond recognition by love, and her hands are stained with the blood of her compatriots, but at this time this woman's heartfelt confession can't help but move Minglou .Ten years ago, because of the Wang family's revenge of killing his father and seizing his property, he was in a dilemma between love and hatred. Just like the young and impulsive Mingtai now, he chose to escape amidst the chaos, leaving the naive, romantic, capricious and capricious at that time Miss Wang's family was left alone in Shanghai.He thought that time would eventually heal the wound and healed his feelings, but he did not expect that Wang Manchun did not return to Wuhan, but stayed in Shanghai stubbornly, just to wait for him to come back.Wandering in the chaotic world, they parted ways at that point in time, and they each embarked on completely different paths in life.Thinking of this, Minglou's cocoon-bound and cruel heart has already cracked the old scars of ten years ago. He knows that he can get rid of Wang Manchun with thousands of reasons, such as killing his father and vengeance, treason and collaborating with the enemy, and harming his compatriots, etc. All kinds of names, but he owed her in love after all, owed her a promise, owed her a sincere hug, owed her the happiness of this life.

There were many thoughts in Minglou's mind, but he still just raised his head and closed his eyes, holding back the hot tears in his eyes, forcefully broke Wang Manchun's arms around him with cold hands, and left resolutely.Wang Manchun stared at the man's back obsessively, thinking of the disgusted expression on his face, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fell to the ground slumped.
