Chapter 89: Deep Emotions + Misty Rain + Water Clouds Between Worlds

  The progress on the Sichuan side went smoothly. Yage's subordinates spent more than half a month in a deep mountain in Luzhou and found Cuiping. Mei Ruohong's parents had passed away, and his brothers and sisters were also gone, leaving only Cuiping and Hua'er living in the broken old house.

  After a lot of persuasion and her own recollection, Cuiping finally believed the words of that person. It turned out that her younger brother, whose name and appearance she couldn't even remember, was still alive.

  Hua'er was actually delighted to leave this poor and remote mountain village. Her pale yellow face, which looked malnourished at first glance, beamed with joy as she watched Cuiping pack up: "Mom, do you think Uncle will like Hua'er?"

  Stop what you're doing, Cuiping touched the child's head and smiled: "Uncle will definitely like our painting, our painting is so well-behaved."

  The dry and withered touch brought a flash of heartache to Cuiping's eyes. If she hadn't been useless, how could the painting have followed her through such hard times? The painting's father lived in Shuangxianglian in Hangzhou, it should be a very beautiful house, just like the brick house of the village head. Unfortunately, as a mother, she couldn't keep her father, Yu Hong went out for almost ten years and never came back once, he still didn't know he had a daughter named Hua'er.

  Her body was getting worse day by day, and she was worried that if one day she couldn't hold on and Yu Hong hadn't returned yet, what would happen... Now it's fine, her younger brother has sent someone to find her. Hearing the person say that Shanghai is very close to Hangzhou, at that time just trouble her younger brother to help find Yu Hong again, shouldn't be a big problem, right?

  Cuiping didn't have much culture, she just thought that finding a husband would allow her to live a good life, but she didn't think that the man who went away for ten years and only sent one letter could be a good person.

  Yage felt at ease with his subordinates going to Sichuan, believing they could safely bring back Cuiping and her daughter. After knowing they had gone to bed in Luzhou, he put the matter aside and was more worried about Lu Mengping, that little girl.

  It stands to reason that a 15-year-old girl like Lu Mengping should have had a girlish heart, even in the Republic of China. With such a handsome and prestigious head teacher, she should have been enthusiastic about him. However, it was the girls in his class who were enthusiastic about him, but among them, there was no Lu Mengping, his target.

  Until she accidentally overheard Lu Mengping and other female classmates chatting, Yage only knew that being proud and arrogant could also be unlovable at times. However, it was because everyone liked him and thought he was a great teacher, so she just happened to think he was not a good teacher.

  "Murong teacher is quite handsome, but my brother is not bad either, he's a high-achieving graduate from Fudan University, and now he's one of the three swordsmen of Shendu." Lu Mengping said proudly with her head held high.

  Gu Qiu smiled lightly: "Your brother is not bad, but unfortunately your brother is a playboy. Murong teacher is different, he is like a gentleman with a noble character, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come to our school to teach."

  Zhong Xi Girls' School is an all-girls school, so of course there are no male teachers... but apart from Mu Rong Ya Ge, a 25-year-old young man, the others are all middle-aged old men. The principal must have his reasons for agreeing to let such a young man take charge as the class teacher for these new students.

  These girls are also precocious due to family reasons and have not directly come into contact with the power and money transactions, so they do not understand the truth about Ya Ge coming here to teach. Of course, if it weren't for his academic qualifications and musical talent, no matter how strong his background is, the principal would not agree. At least this is something the principal insists on.

  When Gu Qiu said this about her brother, Lu Mengping was dissatisfied but couldn't think of anything to refute. To be honest, her brother really couldn't compare to Mu Rong teacher. Not to mention appearance and temperament, Lu Erhao was completely defeated. And in other aspects...

  Lu Ruo Hao is a reporter for Shen Bao, with a monthly salary of 20 silver dollars. However, he often spends more than that on a single meal with his girlfriend, and it's always Wang Xueqin who uses the family's money to make up for the shortfall. As for Mu Rong Laoshi's salary, let's not even mention it - 120 silver dollars per month, six times Lu Ruo Hao's! Moreover, the Mu Rong family has long been supported by Mu Rong Laoshi alone, and their assets are said to be so vast that they could buy up the entire Shanghai Bund without a problem.

  According to Gu Qiu, Murong Yage is a famous golden son-in-law in Shanghai. Now he suddenly comes to Zhongxi Female Middle School as a teacher. They can't be too reserved, even if they can't develop anything with Teacher Murong, at least let him remember them, which will also be helpful in the future.

  The Murong family's business empire, including banks and various shops, was all-inclusive. After graduation, when they wanted to go out and find work, having a relationship with Teacher Murong would make a difference. Of course, this was just their own thoughts; as the carefully nurtured young ladies of the household, arranged marriages were their ultimate destiny. Whether it was studying or something else, everything was for the purpose of increasing their value.

  Lu Mengping still remembers the look in her classmates' eyes when she said she didn't know who Murong Yage was, it was a feeling of being treated like an oddball. It wasn't until Gu Qiu spoke up and said that Lu's family had just moved to Shanghai from Northeast China not long ago, so they weren't very familiar with the city yet, that she was let off the hook.

  It wasn't until then that Lu Mengping learned from Gu Qiu that the Lu family was not as great as she had always thought, but rather a defeated commander who escaped from Northeast China to Shanghai with some ill-gotten gains. The "Black Panther" now didn't even have any claws left.

  When she found out about these things from Gu Qiu, Lu Mengping only felt a blackness in front of her eyes and even had a big fight with Gu Qiu before running back home to hide. Although she was still young and hadn't learned anything good from following Wang Xueqin, at least she had some basic common sense. After secretly observing for several days at home, she couldn't help but believe that what Gu Qiu said was true.

  The Lu family appears to be prosperous, but take a closer look at the kind of people Wang Xueqin associates with. Lu Zhenhua is always holed up in his study, not bothering with anything else. Lu Erhao rarely comes home on time, and when he does, it's only because he has no money left. Rong Ping is gentle and considerate, but what can she do to change the situation even if she finds out about the Lu family's affairs? Not to mention that arrogant and spoiled Lu Erjie, who is now just a child in need of care.

  Lu Mengping soon became disheartened, and Wang Xueqin asked a few questions but couldn't get to the bottom of it, so she didn't bother with this little daughter anymore. Now her most important task was to bring Lu Ping and Erhao's colleague He Shuhuan together. This He Shuhuan is a talented person, although he is only a small reporter for Shenbao, his parents are diplomats in the Nanjing government, and he is indeed the best son-in-law in Wang Xueqin's eyes.

  It was in school that Gu Qiu discovered Lu Mengping's abnormality and pulled her aside to instruct her: "Mengping, I'm telling you this because I consider you a friend. We've known each other for three years now, have I ever said anything like this before? You're lucky to be admitted to Zhongxi Girls' School, but if you can't adjust your position properly, you'll ruin yourself."

  Lu Mengping pursed her lips tightly, even though she now knew that Gu Qiu was kind-hearted, but in her heart, she still felt very uncomfortable. It's always been the case that when someone who has always thought of themselves as a noble and wealthy person is pierced through their delusions, they won't feel good about it.

  "I'm telling you this time, also because of your attitude towards Mu Rong teacher. Meng Ping, the Lu family is nothing in Shanghai, if your attitude offends everyone, no one can help you. Of course, Mu Rong teacher won't mind these things, it's just a little girl's affectation or something else, but his fans won't think so."

  If it weren't for being entrusted by others, Gu Qiu wouldn't have come to meddle in this muddy water. It's really unknown what Teacher Murong saw in Lu Mengping. No matter what the reason is, since she is now important in Teacher Murong's heart, she can only suppress her jealousy and dissatisfaction, do well what she should do, and it will be beneficial for her and her family.

  Gu's family has a place in Shanghai, and all the members of the family are intelligent people. This is also the reason why Ya Ge finally chose Gu Qiu. There were several girls who had a good relationship with Lu Mengping, but only Gu Qiu was the one he really needed.

  After understanding Lu Mengping's arrogance, Ya Ge changed her strategy.

  It's better to let her understand reality and then give her a savior rather than giving her a Prince Charming-like boyfriend.

  So he let Gu Qiu teach Lu Mengping to recognize reality, of course, what Gu Qiu said to Lu Mengping was also a reason. If she continued to be so arrogant and disdainful of him as her teacher Murong, his brain-dead fans would really find trouble for her.

  Yage understood his influence on these young girls, he never underestimated himself, nor would he overestimate himself.

  Although Ao Jiao is lovely, Ya Ge has no interest in taming cats, especially not in this era. It's only been two years since the dark 1937. Even if he made some moves behind the scenes, those historical events that occurred cannot be changed in the slightest.

  The Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Battle of Shanghai, and then the Nanjing Massacre. Every single event makes him feel heartbroken and angry whenever he thinks about it. And he can only watch as all this happens, which makes him unable to control his temper.

  When facing Lu Mengping, the target of her mission, Yage also lost her gentle and patient heart. Rather than spoiling this little girl so that she doesn't know the hardships of the world, it's better to let her recognize the helplessness and darkness of reality first. This way, even if they won't end up together in the end, she won't fall to the same level as in the original story.

  She was gang-raped by her trusted friends and became pregnant, then had an abortion at a secret clinic arranged by Wang Xueqin but suffered a hemorrhage. She was eventually rescued but lost the chance to become a mother.

  It's better to have a more painful ending at 15 years old than this one.

  Wasn't he, Murong Yajiao, also growing up in pain? The elegant and refined young master, who was once a playful child, wasn't it more painful for him to peel off his innocence and softness than Lu Mengping?

  Gu Qiu knocked on the door and entered the piano room, where she saw Mu Rong Ya Ge standing by the window, gazing up at the sky with a somewhat lonely expression. Her heart tightened, feeling as if she had stumbled upon a scene she shouldn't have seen. Hurriedly lowering her head, she said: "Teacher Mu Rong, I've completed all the tasks you assigned to me. Meng Ping seems to have matured quite a bit now."

  "Uh, you've done well." Yage turned her head to look at the girl with a student haircut, and a flash of light passed through her eyes. "Go back and tell your father that the cooperation is fine, let him go directly to Qin Wu, just say it's my order."

  "Yes." Gu Qiu carefully backed out, unable to conceal the joy on her face.

  Qin Wuya's big Shanghai is one of the golden dens of Shanghai Beach, and being able to cooperate with Qin Wuya to provide wine can make Gu's family live on the upper floor.

  The author has something to say: Thanks to Blood Tears' landmine, although it's a bit late, but still want to wish you a happy birthday ~

  Thanks for the landmine from Youyou and Hewanzi!

  Potatoes always thought that the people of Lu's family were all very extreme, they really didn't have any sense of their own identity and status... == What about Black Panther now, aren't they also gone from being a powerful army to having nothing left?

  Mengping is a child who lacks love and is also clever. Moreover, Yage's mood was somewhat depressed and not very good, so the method was slightly rougher.

  Of course, Mengping will be happy later on, it's always bitter before sweet after all~
