The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Ruan Lingyu was speechless all the way, and she was in a trance. She felt lucky to get rid of Zhang Damin for the time being, but she was also worried about Zhang Damin's situation.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Miss Ruan, do you want to go to my house, or find a place to sit?"

"Huh?" Ruan Lingyu came back to her senses, "Let's find a place to sit for a while."

The car stopped at the entrance of a coffee shop, Zhou Hexuan walked in front, and Ruan Lingyu silently followed with her handbag.

Zhou Hexuan ordered two cups of coffee and asked, "How much sugar do you like to add?"

"I'll do it myself." Ruan Lingyu said.

Zhou Hexuan stirred the coffee spoon: "I was the one who was abrupt about today's matter."

Ruan Lingyu forced a smile: "I know Mr. Zhou is doing it for my own good."

"Let's talk lightly and deeply, have you ever thought about breaking up with that person?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"Some troubles." Ruan Lingyu said.

Zhou Hexuan glanced at Ruan Lingyu's broken forehead, and said to Sun Yongzhen next to him, "Yongzhen, go and buy a bottle of bruise medicinal wine."

"No need." Ruan Lingyu hastily refused.

"It's okay," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Just tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll see if I can help."

Ruan Lingyu kept her mouth shut. Some words were difficult for her to say, and they also involved her mother's reputation.

Ruan Lingyu was only 16 years old at the time, and she was at a loss when faced with Zhang Damin's pursuit. But her mother, He Aying, tried her best to encourage her daughter to be with Zhang Damin because she just wanted to climb high and enjoy wealth.

He Aying quietly embezzled Zhang Damin's money and changed a passbook of several thousand yuan to her own name. After her daughter moved in with Zhang Damin, He Aying stopped working and drank tea and played cards all day long as a wealthy wife. That was when she was under 40 years old.

In history, even the rich businessman later on was helped by He Aying.

As Ruan Lingyu grew up, she also began to understand what kind of person her mother was. Although she was only a adoptive mother, it was really difficult for her to sever ties with her mother. Back then, in order to let her go to a noble school, the mother who was a maid begged the master of the Zhang family (the school manager) and worked hard to give her half-price education. This is the grace of upbringing.

Not only that, since Zhang Damin's brother is a shareholder of the film company, her mother also begged Zhang's brother to teach her drama and piano, and Ruan Lingyu's acting skills were cultivated at that time.

Speaking of which, both her adoptive mother and the Zhang family are very kind to her. Although Ruan Lingyu didn't love Zhang Damin for a long time and was very dissatisfied with her mother, but when she thought of Zhang Damin's kindness, her heart couldn't be hardened.

Now Ruan Lingyu makes money by herself, not only for Zhang Damin to eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and smoke, but also for her adoptive mother to drink tea and play cards, and for her younger sister (another adopted daughter of her mother) to study. She starred in six films last year, took on numerous commercials and posed for the cover of more than a dozen magazines. Coupled with the savings from the previous years, it was not easy to save up to 20,000 yuan, but now it was all lost by Zhang Damin.

Thinking of her future life, Ruan Lingyu felt at a loss, as if her whole life was gloomy.

Zhou Hexuan always wanted to bring up the topic, but Ruan Lingyu was always reluctant to talk, the coffee was really boring.

When Sun Yongzhen bought Dieda medicine wine, Zhou Hexuan stood up and said, "I'll take you back."

"En." Ruan Lingyu responded softly.

Ruan Lingyu now lives on Xiafei Road, renting a house, and it's just a short drive away.

Zhou Hexuan sent her to the door of the house, and Ruan Lingyu walked a few steps before turning her head and asking politely: "Mr. Zhou, why don't you go up and sit down?"

"Okay." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Ruan Lingyu didn't expect Zhou Hexuan to agree, her expression was a little embarrassed, so she had no choice but to take out the key to open the door.

The house was in a mess, the tables and benches were tilted here and there, a decorative vase fell on the floor, and the porcelain pieces were scattered all over the floor.

Ruan Lingyu's adoptive mother, He Aying, was sitting on the sofa. When she saw her daughter come back, she immediately cried, "Ah Ruan, you are back! I don't want to live anymore!"

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ruan Lingyu asked with a headache.

He Aying cursed: "That goddamn Zhang Damin, he took away all my private money, and even robbed my gold bracelet. I'm dead, woo woo woo..."

Zhou Hexuan frowned and asked, "Why didn't you call the police?"

Of course, you can’t call the police. When He Aying was working as a maid, she stole things from Zhang’s family and embezzled Zhang’s property. Zhang Damin caught him and wrote a confession letter. Once the police are called and Zhang Damin reveals all these bad things, He Aying will definitely face prison.

Only then did He Aying discover Zhou Hexuan, she stopped crying and asked, "Who are you?"

Ruan Lingyu introduced: "Mom, this is Mr. Zhou Hexuan Zhou."

He Aying's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is that Mr. Zhou who invented underwear and donates more than 100,000 yuan to overseas students every year?"

"Well, it's him." Ruan Lingyu said.

Zhou Hexuan greeted and said: "Auntie, hello, I am Miss Ruan's friend."

He Aying was very enthusiastic, and hurried to serve tea and water, and said embarrassingly: "Mr. Zhou, there is a bit of chaos at home, please take care of it. You are a university student. My family, Aruan, was very good at studying and homework. She loves studying very much. , teach her more when you have time."

Ruan Lingyu couldn't help but touch her forehead, she understood what her adoptive mother was thinking. Zhang Damin is now a pauper, and his mother naturally looks down on her, and wants to push her to Zhou Hexuan so that he can continue to live a prosperous and prosperous life.

Zhang's family is indeed very rich. There are several brothers, and each of them has divided more than 100,000 yuan in inheritance. But it can't be compared with Zhou Hexuan. Mr. Zhou donates more than 100,000 yuan a year, which is so rich. He Aying is very excited when he thinks of this.

Zhou Hexuan sat down and drank tea, and asked, "Auntie, does that Zhang Damin often come to make trouble?"

"Don't mention it," He Aying belittled Zhang Damin while complaining, "That bastard, he used to be a dog when he was a young master, but now he gambles every day and loses all his family property, and he still needs my daughter to support him. Our mother and daughter three I have no one to rely on, so I just let him bully me. It's also Ruan's nostalgia for old love, and I can't bear to break up with that dog, and I will suffer accordingly. Mr. Zhou, please pity Ah Ruan, she has had a hard time ah!"

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Ruan Lingyu's head was extremely big, whether it was her mother or Zhang Damin, it made her worry.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "If I need help, I can find a friend to get rid of Zhang Damin."

"Yes, yes, we must send him away," He Aying said, "I have long since disliked that bastard."

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "Who else is there in the Zhang family?"

He Aying said: "He has two older brothers, one is an official, and the other is a shareholder of the Star Film Company. There are also two younger brothers and three younger sisters, but they are not very promising, and they don't care about him."

The star film company is the company where Ruan Lingyu made her debut. She was able to make a movie as the heroine very quickly, thanks to Zhang Damin's brother's care. However, in order to draw a clear line with the Zhang family, Ruan Lingyu quit the star film company two years ago.

As for Zhang Damin, a prodigal son who hates dogs, he has long been hated by his brothers and sisters. He is probably beaten to death in the street, and no relatives will come out to help him collect his body.

Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Miss Ruan, do you want to break up with Zhang Damin?"

"I... don't know." Ruan Lingyu said with great confusion.

"What don't you know? Break up resolutely!" He Aying resolutely persuaded, "Daughter, finding a man is a matter of a lifetime. There is no future with Zhang Damin. A scholar like Mr. Zhou is the real good home."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense!" Ruan Lingyu said angrily, that's how her mother encouraged her to live with Zhang Damin.

Zhou Hexuan has gradually realized what kind of woman He Aying is, and can't help but feel sad for Ruan Lingyu. Not to mention a heartless and ungrateful man, and an equally unreliable mother, it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"It's getting late," Zhou Hexuan got up and said, handing Ruan Lingyu a business card, "Miss Ruan, if you have anything to do, you can call me and leave."

He Aying asked to stay: "Mr. Zhou, why don't you sit down for a while?"

"No, I have something else to do." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

He Aying pushed her daughter, blinked and said: "Ah Ruan, hurry up and send Mr. Zhou off."

Ruan Lingyu sent Zhou Hexuan out of the house and came back again. He Aying looked happy, as if she had picked up gold when she went out. She asked excitedly, "Ah Ruan, is Mr. Zhou interested in you?"

"Mom, if someone has a wife, many important figures will attend the wedding." Ruan Lingyu said.

He Aying said with a smile: "Of course I know he has a wife. Is it possible that you still want to be the main wife? Let me tell you, Mr. Zhou has status, status, knowledge, and most importantly, he is rich. Every year he He has to donate more than 100,000 yuan, and there are not many rich people in Shanghai who can compare with him. In front of Mr. Zhou, that Zhang Damin is not as good as a dog. You must seize the opportunity, and our mother and daughter will be blessed for the rest of our lives Already!"

"Are you finished? You're driving me crazy!" Ruan Lingyu finally broke out.

He Aying continued to say: "I'm not forcing you, I'm showing you the way. Mr. Zhou is such a big man, it's hard to find him with a lantern."

"Anyway, I don't want to hear you say this!" Ruan Lingyu walked towards her bedroom depressed.

He Aying hurriedly followed, began to use emotion to coerce, and said in a very miserable way: "Ah Ruan, we are born in poverty. Do you still remember that I sent you to a private school every day to study for you? Afraid that you would not be able to learn the skills in the private school, I knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Zhang, begging him to halve the tuition fee and send you to the noble girls' school. Mom is sincerely looking forward to you, and I hope you can live a good life. It’s good to enjoy the blessings by the way. But look, what kind of blessings are you enjoying now, the big smoker is making a fuss every day, and snatched all my gold bracelets. Wuwuwuwu, my life is so miserable..."

When Ruan Lingyu heard her mother cry, and then thought of all the things she had when she was a child, she immediately softened her heart and cried, "Mom, it's my fault that made you suffer with me."

He Aying wiped her tears and said: "Ah Ruan, that Mr. Zhou is really a good man, Mom won't hurt you. I think he is also interested in you. You can call him tomorrow and ask him out for a chat. It's okay to contact him first. Even if you can't be a husband and wife, you can still be friends."

"Mom, I know, I'll listen to you." Ruan Lingyu was in a mess.

"Hey, what a good boy." He Aying burst into tears immediately.
