Chapter 503: Mother-daughter dispute
Up to the second floor.
Huang Zhaoyi hesitated at the stairwell, then bit the bullet and came to the sofa to sit down.
Facing her mother and eldest sister across the coffee table.
After Huang Xuqing helped her mother smooth her breath for a while, she raised her head, gave a look, and asked in a very cautious tone:
"Little sister, what is your relationship with this Li Heng? It's not really an affair, right? You're just angry at Mom, right...?"
Clearly, while Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi were downstairs, Mother Huang had told her eldest daughter this angry remark.
Huang Xuqing guessed this for a reason.
She felt it was because her mother went to the master bedroom without permission, violating little sister's private space at will.
Therefore, little sister was so hot-headed and said angry words.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhaoyi said expressionlessly: "We are indeed having an affair."
Hearing this, Mother Huang instantly had her blood pressure rise, so angry she almost fainted directly.
Huang Xuqing saw her mother's complexion wasn't right, saw her mother's face was pale, and hurriedly comforted her:
"Mom, don't be angry, little sister should be joking with you."
Mother Huang seemed not to have heard this, her eyes narrowed, staring straight at her little daughter: "Say it again, say it to me again!"
Huang Zhaoyi made up her mind to straighten things out this time, so as not to be unclear in the future, so as not to let the family go to find Li Heng for trouble in the future, so she said: "I'm not being casual, I really am his lover."
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
As soon as the Great Qingyi's words fell, Mother Huang's body trembled, so angry that the words were all popped out from between her teeth:
She rarely lost such a big temper, but her most pampered little daughter said such confused words one after another, she was really angered!
The violent sound, plus the broken porcelain shards almost splashing onto herself, Huang Zhaoyi's body couldn't help but shrink, then she returned to her calm and composed appearance. Just sitting there, not moving.
Huang Xuqing stood up, first said to her mother: "Mom, little sister is already so old, her actions must have her own rules.
Don't get so angry first, it's not good for your health. Let's listen to little sister talk about the situation first."
Saying this, Huang Xuqing took the broom and dustpan and started cleaning up the porcelain shards.
During this period, Mother Huang and her little daughter stared at each other.
One was burning with anger, hating that she didn't live up to expectations.
One was hugging her chest with both hands, her face calm, and even crossed her legs.
There were many fragments of the three teacups, scattered everywhere, cleaning was very complicated, it was a delicate job. Huang Xuqing spent quite a bit of time cleaning it up.
After cleaning, she put the broom and dustpan back in place, thinking this period of time would let her mother calm down, but when she turned her head to look, she was a bit dumbfounded; her own mother was like a fighting cock, her anger value was full.
Instead, little sister's leisurely attitude surprised Huang Xuqing.
Gazing between the two for a while, Huang Xuqing sat back in her seat and took the initiative to break the deadlock:
"Little sister, did Li Heng break up with his previous girlfriend?"
Huang Zhaoyi answered: "No."
Huang Xuqing asked: "That is to say, he's still hanging onto Xiao Han here, hanging onto Chen Zijin in Jingcheng, stepping on two boats?"
Back when the Great Qingyi fell in love with the writer Twelve Months, the Huang family had roughly inquired about Li Heng's basic personal situation, knowing that Li Heng had been entangled with Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.
This was also the reason why Huang Xuqing asked.
Huang Zhaoyi deliberately didn't look at her mother's cannibalistic eyes and nodded: "They have a very good relationship."
"They?"
Huang Xuqing pondered for a moment and pursued: "Do Xiao Han and Chen Zijin know of each other's existence?"
Huang Zhaoyi answered: "The two were once junior high classmates, I heard their relationship was very good in junior high, almost inseparable.
They also studied in the same school in high school. They should know of each other."
Hearing this, Huang Xuqing and Mother Huang looked at each other and were both stunned.
They hadn't seen Chen Zijin, but they had heard little Liu Yue describe Xiao Han.
Back then, Liu Yue's original words were: just talking about the exquisiteness of her features, Xiao Han is no worse than any woman in the world. Xiao Han's comprehensive conditions are about the same as little aunt's.
Listen to these words, it means Xiao Han can compare with Zhaoyi.
Even the arrogant Liu Yue admitted she wasn't as good. After all, Huang Zhaoyi was the most beautiful person recognized by the Huang and Liu families within three generations.
But such a beautiful person like Xiao Han was actually sharing a man with another woman, how absurd was this?
How unbelievable was it?
Alright, they were all women from big families, having seen all kinds of dirty things in the dark, a man having several women was common, and they were used to it.
But when those people did such things, they generally separated the women, everyone turned a blind eye, and they were all sensible enough not to poke the window paper.
And like this Li Heng, being able to patrol between two great beauties at a young age, was relatively rare.
How much talent must one have for dealing with women?
To be able to make Xiao Han and Chen Zijin both willing at the same time?
Uh, missed one, there was another little sister here, looking at her appearance, she was also deeply trapped and couldn't extricate herself.
Huang Xuqing couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that this Li Heng knows magic? Using dishonorable means to fascinate both women at the same time?"
Huang Zhaoyi said: "He has talent, and looks, it's easy to attract a few girls."
Huang Xuqing asked: "I just want to know, how do they manage to coexist harmoniously?"
"Harmonious? Just surface harmony, there will be plenty of fighting in the future," Huang Zhaoyi's expression was complex, as she said.
Huang Xuqing didn't understand, but she felt little sister wasn't willing to go deeper, so after winding around to ease the atmosphere, she pulled the topic to the main point:
"Tell Mom and me, what exactly is going on with you and Li Heng?"
Huang Zhaoyi swept her eyes over her mother, fell into deep thought, pondering where to start?
Where to start so as not to let her family have a bad impression of Li Heng?
After waiting for a while, Mother Huang couldn't wait anymore, and directly asked: "Have you and that Li Heng slept together?"
Huang Zhaoyi replied: "Didn't you go into the bedroom?"
Mother Huang's tone increased: "I'm asking you."
Huang Zhaoyi answered concisely: "Yes."
Mother Huang was determined to figure things out clearly today, and in her anger, she couldn't care about face, and pursued: "When did it start? How many times?"
Huang Zhaoyi said: "Started in April this year. As for the frequency, there were 7 times from last night to noon today."
Hearing little sister's confused words, Huang Xuqing was speechless.
Mother Huang stood up with a "whoosh," her face pale, and the words were all popped out from between her teeth: "Did you really treat him as a bull? Still 7 times in one night? Bragging without a draft?"
Huang Zhaoyi said with lowered eyelids: "Didn't you go to the bedroom? Looked at the trash can? Can so many tissues be fake?"
Mother Huang couldn't hold it anymore, her right hand slapped the coffee table fiercely, "Talk to me properly!"
Huang Zhaoyi raised her head, not afraid at all: "If you want me to talk to you properly, you should respect me, respect my privacy, and don't go to my room at will."
Actually, Huang Zhaoyi's posture was intentional.
She was mainly being strong today.
Because she understood that once she wasn't strong, once she was soft, the pressure later would fall on Li Heng.
And she was a Huang family member after all, the blood of the Huang family flowed in her body, no matter how much they fell out, they wouldn't really drive her out of the Huang family.
But Li Heng was different, if they really fell out, the scene couldn't be saved, it was said that he would be suppressed.
Therefore, not for herself, but for Li Heng, she had to raise the tone today and stand up her posture.
Mother Huang opened her eyes wide, her tone also increased a bit: "I am your mother, can I still harm you? Besides, I raised you from a child, which part of your body haven't I seen? Talk to me about privacy?"
Seeing the mother and daughter's atmosphere becoming more and more stiff, Huang Xuqing hurriedly stood out as a peacemaker, first putting both hands on her mother's shoulders, pressing her mother back onto the sofa.
Then she asked little sister: "You slept with Li Heng, so in this way, Li Heng is your man?"
Huang Zhaoyi knew her eldest sister's temper very well, knowing that her eldest sister was using rhetoric, and it was estimated that it would be one ring after another later.
She simply said directly: "He is my man, but not my partner."
Mother Huang was anxious again, stretched her neck and asked: "What do you mean!!!"
Huang Zhaoyi didn't retreat at all: "It's the literal meaning. He is my man, I will have a relationship with him, but we won't get married."
Mother Huang was angry: "Heh! In this way, he won't marry you? Play with you for nothing?"
Huang Zhaoyi said firmly: "Won't marry."
Mother Huang had a cold face: "Since he won't marry you, why do you let him sleep with you for nothing? Is our Huang family unable to support you or what?
Or are there no men in the world? Are all men dead?"
Huang Zhaoyi replied without hesitation: "Whether men are dead or not has nothing to do with me, I only recognize him."
Mother Huang questioned loudly: "Just because he can give you 7 times a night?"
Huang Zhaoyi leaned back, leaned on the sofa, rolled her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and didn't take these words.
Huang Xuqing was shocked by her mother's words, and also knew her mother was really angered to the point of confusion; it was estimated that she had lived for more than 60 years, and this was the first time she was so angry today.
Huang Xuqing got up and poured three cups of tea again, one for her mother, one for little sister, and she also held one in her hand, thought for a moment and asked: "Little sister, you said you started in April.
But I remember at the beginning of the year, Liao elder brother once said that you were thinking of Li Heng, writing to him from time to time, requesting to meet him, and Li Heng seemed to have rejected you.
How did you have such a big change all of a sudden? And had a relationship in a short time?"
Hearing her eldest sister ask the question she wanted to hear, Mother Huang also tried hard to let her mood calm down, and listened with spirit. She had to see, what happened in between?
This question was the one Huang Zhaoyi least wanted to mention.
Because this involved her illegitimate position.
Leading to her being in a weak position in front of Li Heng from the beginning. Even for a long time, she was afraid Li Heng would mention it, afraid Li Heng would abandon her at any time.
But she understood that even the most unsightly things couldn't be avoided; if she didn't straighten out this source, she couldn't pass this hurdle in the family, even if she pretended to be tough, she couldn't pass it.
Because the Huang family was a big family, not her own family, and face was sometimes more important than anything.
If the matter of her being Li Heng's lover spread out, it would definitely become a laughing stock.
She didn't care about being a lover, but the Huang family couldn't not care.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhaoyi's mind floated with the figure of the initiator, little Liu Yue.
No way, she could only start from here.
Weighing the pros and cons, Huang Zhaoyi, who always put Li Heng first, hesitated for a moment and said: "Eldest sister, do you remember which month little Liu Yue went abroad?"
Huang Xuqing only had one daughter, and knew these things by heart, remembering them very clearly: "Late April, specifically April 23rd."
After speaking, she didn't quite understand, "This matter has a connection with Liu Yue?"
Huang Zhaoyi, who had made up her mind, nodded and started to tell the story, "Yueyue and Li Heng are classmates, and also the monitor of Statistics Class 2; because of this relationship, the two had more contact at school.
After learning that I was in love with Li Heng, and learning that Li Heng was the writer Twelve Months, she had been planning one thing..."
Mother Huang interrupted: "What thing?"
Huang Zhaoyi looked at her mother and phrased it: "Drugging."
Huang Xuqing exclaimed: "What? Drugging?"
Huang Zhaoyi wasn't disturbed, and continued from the front: "Yueyue was going abroad to study, so she invited Li Heng to dinner in this name, calling it a farewell for her. Actually, she set a trap, drugging the wine..."
Next, she told the whole story of how Liu Yue drugged him? How she threatened her to go to Fuchun Xiaoyuan by phone? How Liu Yue got away? And how she had a relationship in the car when she drove Li Heng home.
Of course, she only picked what could be said, and skipped what couldn't be said.
Feeling that this was more exaggerated than acting, Mother Huang and Huang Xuqing were stunned! Their mouths were wide open enough to stuff a goose egg!
As long as Huang Zhaoyi spoke, the other mother and daughter were shocked for as long!
Until Huang Zhaoyi finished speaking, the mother and daughter hadn't returned to consciousness, still in strong shock.
For a time, the living room became dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop!
After a long time, Mother Huang, who was the first to react, locked her eyebrows, "In this way, you blocked the disaster for Yueyue? If you didn't go, she intended to give herself to Li Heng?"
Huang Zhaoyi couldn't be 100% sure, but she believed that with little Liu Yue's temper, she could do such an outrageous thing.
Clearly, Mother Huang and Huang Xuqing also had a considerable understanding of Liu Yue, and held the same idea as Huang Zhaoyi.
Huang Xuqing took a deep breath, very angry: "Hu Nao! This is simply nonsense!
I thought she was lawless enough usually, actually daring to drug! Zhaoyi, you shouldn't have indulged her back then, let her suffer a loss and learn a lesson in Li Heng's hands!"
Huang Zhaoyi's emotions were inexplicable, and she said meaningfully: "Then you should force little Liu Yue and Li Heng to get married."
Huang Xuqing blurted out: "I'm not that unreasonable, Li Heng not calling the police to catch her is already being cheap to her, how could I have the face to force marriage...?"
Halfway through, Huang Xuqing froze! Stopped! Her mouth, which was open due to anger, slowly closed. A few seconds later, she turned her head to look at her mother.
Just at this time, Mother Huang also turned her head to look over.
The mother and daughter looked at each other for a while, Huang Xuqing sighed, smiled bitterly and said to her little sister: "Zhaoyi, you set the trap on me."
The boomerang hit herself, Huang Xuqing had nothing to say.
Mother Huang felt a bit irritable, but still suppressed the agitation in her heart, and asked her little daughter: "Which Fuchun Xiaoyuan is it?"
Huang Zhaoyi said: "Hongkou."
Mother Huang asked: "When you rushed over, did you know the consequences?"
Huang Zhaoyi said vaguely: "Being able to become his woman is something I often thought about in the middle of the night."
Mother Huang clenched her right hand tightly, and then quietly loosened it later: "Since you like him so much, and he isn't married, why not consider marriage?"
After learning the truth, Mother Huang's tone was much lower than before; even if she had fire, she controlled it very well, trying to communicate with a relaxed attitude.
Huang Zhaoyi said helplessly: "His heart isn't with me, he has a partner."
Mother Huang raised her eyebrows: "Can't you handle two yellow-haired girls?"
These two yellow-haired girls referred to Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.
Huang Zhaoyi said: "I'm 14 years older than him, when I'm 50, he'll only be 36, what can I handle? And what's the significance of handling or not?"
Facing this undeniable fact, Mother Huang, who had originally held an attitude of questioning, moved her lips, moved them again, and many words reached her lips but were swallowed back.
That's right! What if you win the fight?
At 50, you're already old and faded!
And at 36, he's in his prime, in his peak state, do you expect him to guard an old woman for a lifetime?
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Huang Zhaoyi maintains herself well, maintains herself very well. But Li Heng isn't an ordinary person, his talent and appearance are both outstanding; there are countless excellent women leaning toward him, why should he guard an old woman like you?
Just because you once obtained him through drugging?
Mother Huang was also a woman, also someone who had been through it. At this moment, her heart suddenly softened, feeling a bit sorry for her little daughter.
She knew better than anyone how stubborn her little daughter was? How high-minded? How she pursued being high-brow in emotional matters, she was a typical type who would rather have nothing than settle.
But she was the mistress of the Huang family after all, as a mother, how could she not plan for her daughter's well-being?
Mother Huang skipped the age problem and hesitated for a moment, then asked seriously: "If the family helps you, is there a possibility?"
Huang Xuqing took the words: "Mom, are you planning to use means?"
Mother Huang turned her head to look over.
Huang Xuqing shook her head: "I oppose, this is not advisable. Li Heng's writer identity and musician identity are there, the influence is very big.
If he wants to die together, not only will it destroy little sister, but it will also be a not-small loss for the Huang family."
Mother Huang didn't express her position clearly, just analyzed: "The bedroom has more than half a basket of tissues, even if there weren't seven times a night, it's estimated there were four or five times.
The underwear, panties, and silk stockings were all torn more than once, clearly Li Heng is still very interested in your little sister.
There is also a photo frame.
Your little sister and the Li family have a group photo, proving that this Li Heng doesn't just play with your little sister, but has moved true feelings.
He isn't married, Zhaoyi isn't married, what's wrong with being together? Even if Zhaoyi is a bit older, we can compensate him in other aspects."
Hearing her own mother's words, Huang Zhaoyi's face couldn't hold up for the first time; if she wasn't afraid of being chased and killed by her mother for losing face, she would have run away.
Huang Xuqing was very surprised; at first, she thought little sister was deliberately angering Mom, so Mom would lose her square, but currently, she also reached this conclusion?
Gazing at the little sister's tall back for a few rounds, it had to be said, Zhaoyi was really a rare beauty in the world, no wonder Li Heng still thought of finding her even after being drugged. Huang Xuqing thought so.
After hiding the trash, the mother and daughter returned to the sofa.
Looking at each other, Mother Huang was the first to open her mouth and ask: "Zhaoyi, tell Mom, is there any possibility?"
Huang Zhaoyi shook her head and answered from her heart: "Don't have delusions. I'll just say it straight, if it weren't for drugging, and I slept with him, then I would consider that aspect.
But I know better than anyone, if there wasn't little Liu Yue drugging, I wouldn't have had the chance to climb into his bed at all, even if I took the initiative to throw myself into his arms, it would be useless.
The past year and more has already proven this point, no matter how I thought of ways to contact him, pursue him, and even waited for him at the Fudan University gate, and even entrusted Liao elder brother to help in the middle, but there was no effect, he didn't pay attention to me at all."
"Little sister!" Eldest sister Huang Xuqing couldn't bear to hear this, her heart was very blocked, the whole person was blocked.
But Huang Zhaoyi ignored this call from her eldest sister that contained sisterly love, her face had no expression, and she continued to speak:
"Actually, I was able to climb into his bed, able to sleep in the same room with him, because I took a shortcut.
To a certain extent, I still have to thank Yueyue, without her, the current me would definitely still be suffering from unrequited love in some corner.
You don't understand Li Heng, don't know Li Heng's charm, don't know how lethal he is to women.
I'll say it straight today, besides Xiao Han and Chen Zijin, there are several others who can compare with them, and even some whose appearance and temperament are more outstanding than theirs, and some whose family background is more powerful than our Huang family. These women are all deeply in love with Li Heng.
Among such a group of powerful opponents, being able to find a gap and have a relationship with him early is already a kind of luck.
If we walked the emotional line step by step, I wouldn't even be able to see his face, and he wouldn't look at me more than once."
At this point, Huang Zhaoyi drank some tea, swept her eyes over her dumbfounded mother and eldest sister, and then continued:
"If he really let go and played with women, he could have one a day, not the same every day. And women are all voluntary, he doesn't need to be responsible.
I say so much, just hoping you can support me, can consider for me from my perspective, I didn't walk to this step easily, I really care about him.
Don't want to lose him because of a so-called marriage certificate."
Her oral account completely concretized the romanticism of the literati.
It also directly stunned Mother Huang and Huang Xuqing. It wasn't that they didn't have vision, but because they had too much vision, they deeply believed Huang Zhaoyi's words.
The living room fell into silence again.
Until a long ten minutes passed, Huang Xuqing remembered to ask: "There are others more beautiful than Xiao Han?"
At this point, Huang Zhaoyi had no concealment, "Yes! Song Yu from Peking University, Zhou Shihe from Fudan."
Huang Xuqing pondered and recalled, "I seem to have heard of these two names. If I remember correctly, Liu Yue once mentioned Song Yu, although she didn't talk much, I remember it deeply.
The other one... is this Zhou Shihe the one who played the piano on the Spring Festival Gala?"
Huang Zhaoyi nodded: "That's her."
Seeing this, Huang Xuqing and Mother Huang looked at each other, instantly losing their temper, Song Yu hadn't seen the real person, so it wasn't easy to evaluate.
But this Zhou Shihe's fame was huge, it had long spread throughout the streets and alleys of Hushi.
The other party was not only Fudan University's only "Big King," but also because of the Spring Festival Gala and the new pure music album, her fame was great, and she was the ceiling in many men's hearts.
To say others could suppress little sister, Huang Xuqing didn't believe it, but ever since she saw Zhou Shihe, she believed it. 【5
Matters having reached this point, Huang Zhaoyi did not hide anything: "Yes! Song Yu from Peking University, and Zhou Shihe from Fudan."
Huang Xuqing pondered and recalled, "I seem to have heard of these two names. If I remember correctly, Liu Yue once mentioned Song Yu; although she didn't say much, the memory is deep."
"The other one... is this Zhou Shihe the one who played the piano on the Spring Festival Gala?"
Huang Zhaoyi nodded: "That's her."
Seeing this, Huang Xuqing and Huang Mu looked at each other, and their tempers vanished instantly; they hadn't seen Song Yu in person, so it was hard to judge.
But Zhou Shihe's fame was so great that it had long since spread through every street and alley in Shanghai.
The other party was not only Fudan University's sole "Big King," but also enjoyed soaring popularity due to the Spring Festival Gala and her newly released pure music album, making her the ceiling in the hearts of many men.
Huang Xuqing wouldn't have believed that anyone could outshine her little sister, but ever since seeing Zhou Shihe, she believed it.
After taking a long time to digest this news, Huang Mu asked sharply: "Who is the one with the deep family background?"
Huang Zhaoyi said: "You have also seen her, the one who played the violin at the Spring Festival Gala, Yu Shuheng from the Yu family."
Yu Shuheng?
Huang Mu could not believe her ears: "Isn't she Li Heng's university teacher? That seemed to be how she was introduced during the Spring Festival Gala. Has she fallen for him too?"
"She is his teacher. So now you understand the gold content involved here, right?"
Because of some entanglements, Huang Zhaoyi inwardly disliked Yu Shuheng a bit, but she did not have the habit of badmouthing people behind their backs, so she upheld the principle of fairness and impartiality:
"Yu Shuheng has not only fallen for him, but I estimate the degree is no less than mine; it's just that she occupies the right time, place, and people, being with him every day, and she is also several years younger than me."
The mother and daughter understood the meaning.
Huang Xuqing asked: "Are you saying that Yu Shuheng, as Li Heng's teacher, also wants to marry him?"
Huang Zhaoyi replied: "This is a case of Sima Zhao's heart being known to everyone on the street."
Huang Xuqing was numb; she was completely at a loss. Other women were one thing, but a Zhou Shihe and a university teacher like Yu Shuheng shattered her conservative moral concepts to pieces.
A university teacher!
A university teacher with both talent and beauty actually thinking of marrying her own student—this is simply a fantasy!
If it were a male teacher, it would be fine; it's not that marrying female students is everywhere, but it's not rare in real life.
But a female teacher? It is simply an ancient wonder, unheard of!
Moreover, the other party is the apple of the Yu family's eye, an only daughter!
How can one compete with this?
Huang Mu was, after all, older and had experienced more, so her emotional fluctuation was not as great as her eldest daughter's, and she asked:
"To what stage have this Teacher Yu and Li Heng reached? Are they also dating?"
Huang Zhaoyi thought for a moment and said: "They probably aren't dating openly, after all, they are still teacher and student. But what it's like in secret is hard to say."
"Yu Shuheng has been to the Li family, not just the new home in the capital, but also Li Heng's rural hometown in Xiangnan; the Li family elders seem to have approved of her."
Hearing this, the words "hard to handle" appeared in the minds of Huang Mu and Huang Xuqing almost simultaneously!
Huang Mu asked, unwilling to give up: "Didn't you also take a group photo with his family? Do you have no competitive edge at all?"
It would have been better not to mention this; once mentioned, only bitterness remained in Huang Zhaoyi's eyes, "I am different from Yu Shuheng."
"I took the photo with the Li family in my capacity as a Peking Opera lead actress; his parents only got to know me because they are keen on going to the theater for Peking Opera. They don't know about my private relationship with Li Heng yet."
Huang Xuqing raised her volume by several decibels: "They don't know about you?"
Huang Zhaoyi turned her head away and said self-pityingly: "I am his mistress; how can such an identity be brought up in the open?"
