After finishing the lotus seed soup in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, Cheng picked up the sandpaper and sharpened the tip of his pen as if to vent his anger.
Seeing this, Aunt Gui hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help but asked: "A Cheng, I noticed that you seem to be a different person recently. Your mood is also very unstable. You have even exceeded the duties of a servant. You
...Are you in any trouble?"
"Servant, servant, do you know that I hate people calling me that the most? We both grew up in the Ming family. Why, why do the eldest sister and the eldest brother treat Mingtai so well, as if they are biological brothers, but I
You can only be a servant who is not even qualified to enter the small ancestral hall during the Chinese New Year?"
"A-Cheng...you and the young master are in different situations."
"Yes, of course it's different, I know. Who told his mother to die to save her eldest sister, and my adoptive mother is a servant of the Ming family? So I should be their servant for life as a matter of course, and then I have to
Be grateful to the Ming family, right?"
"But...since you don't like your current status so much, why didn't you agree when the young master wanted to give you a good position in the new government?"
As soon as these words came out, a glimmer of light flashed in Cheng's eyes, and then he narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you know?"
"Yes... Master Aqiang told me, but at that time he just said it casually, and I just listened casually. I guess he himself couldn't remember telling me about it."
"That's it..." After hearing Aunt Gui's explanation, although Acheng felt funny in his heart, he snorted coldly on the surface and said, "What a good position, it's just a test he gave me, and besides, I'm in
The Ming family has served them wholeheartedly for so many years. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work, right? How could it be possible to leave the Ming family so easily? "
"Then what do you want?"
"It's very simple. I just want the Ming family to pay me back everything they owe me!"
Aunt Gui was stunned at this, "Acheng, what are you talking about? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to you? Don't forget that you grew up in the Ming family. Why do the Ming family owe you?"
Acheng didn't want to but sneered, "You're right, I did grow up in a Ming family, but do you think the two siblings really took me in out of sympathy? Then you are totally wrong.
Well, as far as I know, when the Ming family was fighting with the Wang family, there were rumors that Ming's company was on the verge of bankruptcy. But what was the result? Not only did Ming's company not go bankrupt, it actually came back to life.
There are constant fights with the Wang family, why is this?"
"You are right. The Ming family did go through a bankruptcy crisis at the beginning, but I remember that in the end it was an old friend of the master who provided funding, which allowed the Ming family to survive the crisis safely."
"Nonsense! What a bullshit old friend. It was obviously Octavia Dong who embezzled the activity funds saved by the Yamazaki group over the years, and the Ming family was able to survive until now!"
"So after all is said and done, what you want is money, right?"
"Otherwise? Do you still want me to pretend that nothing happened?"
"Alas!" Upon hearing this, Aunt Gui couldn't help but sigh, "You are right to say so... but do you have to be in such a hurry?"
"Of course!" Acheng said without thinking, "I have my reasons."
"and you……"
"Stop asking!" Before Aunt Gui could finish what she said, Cheng intercepted her and said, "Even if you ask, I won't tell you."
"...A Cheng, you and I are just like mother and son. Is there anything you can't say to me?"
"You mean, you want me to confide in someone who once wanted to kill me? What a joke!"
"Then you just..."
"Don't get me wrong, I've just been holding some words in my heart for too long and I just wanted to find someone to vent to."
"Then you are not afraid that I will tell the eldest young master and the others what you just said?"
"Since I dare to say it, I'm not afraid anymore. Even if you really do it, then do you think they will believe me or you?"
"A-Cheng! I...I just want to help you..." Aunt Gui finally couldn't help but said excitedly.
"Then please, don't help me anymore. I'm just fighting for my own rights, that's all. And don't look at me with tears in your eyes, pretending to be the Virgin Mary, I don't want to be with you in the Ming Dynasty
If there is any drama about burying the hatchet in front of me, it will only make me feel sick!"
At this time, Aunt Gui was finally completely irritated, "I think I came here in the wrong place. Since you have made up your mind, I wish you will get your wish as soon as possible and leave the Ming family."
After saying that, Aunt Gui turned around and walked out.
Ah Cheng closed the door, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Because he knew that the success of this play was directly related to the degree of Nanzo Yunzi's trust in him. Therefore, Cheng's nerves remained tense during the whole process, and he did not dare to relax even a little bit.
After Aunt Gui left, she felt a belated tiredness, so she simply threw herself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in no time...
…
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the owner of Uchiyama Bookstore had just removed the door panel, and Haitang, dressed in a beautiful dress, was the first to walk in.
"Hello boss, has the book that Mr. Ming ordered from you some time ago arrived?"
"Which Mr. Ming?" the old man behind the counter asked, pushing up the picture frame glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Ming Qiang, Mr. Ming. Oh, by the way, this is the order form from that time." Haitang said as he took out the order form from his bag and handed it over.
As soon as the old man saw the order form, he suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered it, Miss, the Mr. Ming you mentioned is probably Section Chief Ming of the Government Office, right?"
"That's right."
After receiving Haitang's affirmative reply, the old man turned to the clerk in the store and said, "Ah Shan, go get the books ordered by Chief Ming."
Before he finished speaking, the clerk named Ashan responded. Without any time, he walked out of the inner room with a pile of packed books and placed them in front of Haitang.
"Miss, your book."
"Thank you!" After saying this, Haitang left the bookstore with satisfaction, carrying the books.
However, not long after she left, Ah Shan glanced at the old man, then slipped out of the bookstore through the back door without anyone noticing, and went straight to Su's Medical Center, which had also just opened for business.
"Ah Shan, why are you here?" Although Mrs. Su, who was in charge of reception, was surprised on the surface, she immediately lowered her voice and asked after taking him to the consulting room, "How is it?"
Ah Shan did not bother to wipe the sweat from his face and said repeatedly: "It's done! We have received the pre-arranged code. The traitor Xu He has returned to the west!"
