Being a Lady of an Influential Family

  Chapter 588 Ms. Zhuo's Extraordinary: Young and Happy (6)

  In the days when Fu Zheng was absent, Zhuo Lin rarely felt a little bored.

  Of course, this boringness doesn't affect anything, after all, she is really busy.

  A young girl in this era wants to rely on her to gain a foothold in society, and can't let herself live too leisurely. Whether it was school or work, she was so busy that she didn't have the time to think about other things. For her now, the wind and the snow would only increase the trouble.

  But she doesn't want to ask for trouble, but trouble will automatically come to her door.

  The moment she saw someone she hadn’t seen for a long time at the gate of Beijing University, Zhuo Lin knew that her leisurely days were over.

   "Find a place where no one is." The person who was talking to her was a woman in her forties who was graceful and dignified. She was wearing luxurious clothes and the hair on her head was combed intact. It's just that the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhuo Lin was very cold, as if she was looking at an inferior product that made her very dissatisfied.

  There were two young people who followed her, and they also frowned at Zhuo Lin, obviously not very happy.

  Zuo Lin was silent for a moment, before faintly said: "Come with me."

  Zuo Lin knew her mother, and would never argue with her under such a large public. After all, the reputation of the Sheng family is above all else.

  Zuo Lin did not take them to her dormitory, but to a teahouse near the school where she often visits.

   asked for a wing to go in, and when the tea buddy went down, the woman said coldly, "Kneel down!"

  Zuo Lin was slightly startled, but did not kneel down as Mrs. Sheng said, but calmly asked, "Mother, just tell me if you have anything."

boom!

Mrs. Sheng slapped the table and said coldly, "You are so embarrassed to say! Do you know how much trouble you have caused the Sheng family!"

Zhuo Lin didn’t care, she smiled faintly, “I didn’t cause trouble. I settled the marriage contract with Zhang’s family in advance. Outsiders didn’t even know that we had negotiated with Zhang’s family. Regarding fame, the Sheng family will not be embarrassed by Zhang Xiang’s person. Your so-called trouble probably means that the Sheng family can’t benefit from this marriage?”

   "Presumptuous!"

   "Little girl!" The youth standing beside Mrs. Sheng also looked a little ugly.

  Zuo Lin shook her head and looked at the young man with some regrets, “Big Brother, I understand that you want to be an official. The examination room is there. Although the Sheng family has fallen, it won’t be enough to support a few scholars.”

  Hearing this, the young man flushed suddenly. Staring at Zhuo Lin angrily, "What are you talking about nonsense!"

  Zuo Lin’s voice was calm and cold, “I’m not talking about big brother, you know well, we also know why you married your eldest sister into Wei’s house.”

Mrs. Sheng sternly said, "I am doing it for Ayan!"

  Zuo Lin smiled faintly, "Have you ever asked the eldest sister? Does she want to marry Jinwei's house? Is she living well in Wei's house now?"

  "……"

  Zuo Lin raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Sheng without evasiveness, "Mother, you already knew that you could not manipulate me, so why force it."

Mrs. Sheng sneered, "The words of the matchmaker in the marriage of the children and the parents are justified. What if I want it?"

Zhuo Lin said, "The last time I dealt with Zhang's affairs in advance, it does not mean that I dare not escape at the wedding or see blood in the bridal night. If my mother wants to bet on whether I dare or not, I might as well try. You care about Sheng I don’t care about the reputation of the family."

   "Sickness!" Madam Sheng was so angry that she pointed to Zhuo Lin and said, "Do you really think I can't do anything with you? Let's try."

  Zuo Lin felt a little helpless, but her biological mother and daughter made her feel like enemies.

  Unfortunately, in any case, she couldn't be as her mother wanted.

  The Sheng family has indeed fallen, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Mrs. Sheng’s revenge came quickly.

  The next day Zhuo Lin received a notice that she was fired by the publishing house where she worked.

  In this regard, Zhuo Lin just feels that it is not surprising that she can't laugh or cry.

  Since ancient times, there have been many scribes in Jiangnan, and the influence of the Sheng family in Jiangnan is still not small. More than half of these publishing houses in Beijing are also from the south of the Yangtze River. It is only natural that Mrs. Sheng can tell the other party to fire her.

  After all, in the eyes of most people, this belongs to the contradiction of the Sheng family's own people. Ordinary people understand the principle of not mixing with other people's family affairs.

  Just in this way, Zhuo Lin had to find another job.

  She lives in the school dormitory. Although it is not expensive, she can't sit and eat. However, Zhuo Lin was not very worried about her situation either, Mrs. Sheng couldn't stay in the capital all the time, she always had to leave.

  It is even more impossible for her to run around with herself. If the capital can't stay any longer, won't she leave?

But Mrs. Sheng obviously thinks that her operation has embarrassed Zhuo Lin, especially after knowing that Zhuo Lin has been rejected for two consecutive job hunts, she even appeared in front of Zhuo Lin with a lofty attitude. It was a cynicism.

  Zuo Lin was sitting in a somewhat cramped room, flipping through a book, and Mrs. Sheng's chattering voice was in her ears.

"Look at your ruined house. It's not as big as the room where our inferior girl lives." After mocking her daughter, Mrs. Sheng started picking up her residence again, "And this clothes... The second lady of the Didang family, where would she wear such inferior fabrics to make clothes? Ayan has never touched such an inferior thing in her life."

  Zuo Lin looked down at the clothes on her body. The poor quality was not ordinary.

  Of course, compared with Mrs. Sheng's delicate and beautiful clothes, it can only be called inferior quality.

  Zuo Lin raised her head and asked calmly, "How many years of the Sheng family’s property is enough for you to wear such clothes?"

  "You!" Mrs. Sheng's face changed suddenly. The Sheng family had been in a situation where they were sitting in the air many years ago. Had it not been for Sheng Zhuoyan to receive a large amount of dowry from the Wei family when she got married, now the Sheng family would be afraid that it would not even be able to maintain the ostentation it is today.

Mrs. Sheng stared at Zhuo Lin for a long time before snorting softly: "I found you a good marriage. You will come with me tomorrow to see someone. You are not in vain these days in Beijing, or Many people are willing to marry you. Don't you want to go back to Jiangnan? You can stay in Beijing forever."

  "Not going." Zhuo Lin picked up the book on the table and opened it to continue reading, while responding lightly.

Mrs. Sheng said coldly, "You have to go if you don't go!"

  Zuo Lin was a bit funny, "You know I won't listen to you, why bother to feel angry?"

Mrs. Sheng said, "If you don't go, it's the same if I bring people to the school to find you."

Zhuo Lin remained silent, and Madam Sheng looked at her suddenly and said, "I heard that there were rumors in the capital that you have a special relationship with your Majesty? If you can enter the palace as a concubine, I will naturally not force you, but it's a pity..." Madam Sheng said. There was a bit of ridicule, "In the capital these days, I am afraid that the royal family does not mean that to you. I have told you a long time ago that the reputation of a girl’s family is the most important, and the rich and powerful people especially value it. It’s good for you? Those elder brothers are just coaxing you to play, who is really willing to marry you and go back to be the main house? You should listen to me obediently and follow me to meet people, at least people are willing to marry honestly You enter the door, lest something happens to shame my Sheng family in the future."

Zhuo Lin said lightly: "If you don't come this time, who knows my last name is Sheng?"

Mrs. Sheng got up a little impatient, stood up and said coldly: "Anyway, you must go tomorrow, and now you can stay in school safely. That's because I want to give you a good reputation and find a husband. If you have to Rebellious against me... you might as well try to see if I can make you unable to stay in the capital!" After speaking, he turned and walked out.

  In this small and cramped room, she felt that she had tainted her dignity after staying for a quarter of an hour.

Zhuo Lin took a deep breath, "You are really my mother."

Mrs. Sheng sneered, "I am not only your mother, but also Mrs. Sheng. As long as I live for one day, no one can ruin the reputation of the Sheng family."

   ruined the reputation of the Sheng family? It's against your intentions, so that Shengjia can't profit from it, right?

  Zuo Lin watched her walk out of the room, and murmured: "I mean...you are not the only ones who can fight fiercely, you will, and I will."

  Zuo Lin's tactics to deal with Mrs. Sheng's forced blind date were useless, because the other party of the blind date had repented first.

  Zuo Lin is not ashamed of this, nor does it feel that there is any problem with the other party’s refusal to date her blind date.

  Only a few days later, Mrs. Sheng once again led people to stop Zhuo Lin from outside the school, with a rare look on her face.

   "What the **** did you do?!" Madam Sheng asked sharply.

  Zuo Lin blinked, she seemed to have done nothing.

   "What's the matter?" Zhuo Lin asked.

Mrs. Sheng gritted her teeth, "You just have to fight against me, don't you? I arranged a blind date for you, isn't it for your good?"

  Zuo Lin said lightly: "Thank you, you don't have to."

Mrs. Sheng sneered, "I don't know what you have done so that no one in the entire capital wants to marry you. However, since you are shameless, don't blame me for being cruel! Take it away!"

Mrs. Sheng winked at several people beside her, and several accompanying men, including Zhuo Lin's eldest brother, immediately stepped forward to stop her.

   "Little girl, stop making trouble, don't make your mother angry. Let's do it for your own good." Shan Da brother persuaded him kindly.

Zhuo Lin looked at this eldest brother coldly and didn’t reply. She looked a little annoyed by the big brother. “What good is it for you to make such a fuss? You are still the daughter of the Sheng family after all. Even if the Sheng family really tied you back like this, who What dare you say?"

   Zhuo Lin said: "This is why you dare to bring so many people here to block me?"

  As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to break housework, and if the Sheng family has to take her back, others really can’t control it.

  On the contrary, if she makes too much noise, others will only think that she is not filial and rebellious. However, Mrs. Sheng must not be willing to make a fuss if it is not a last resort, after all, the face of the Sheng family is more important than anything else.

  "Did you get in the car by yourself, or did I let someone **** you into the car?" Madam Sheng looked at Zhuo Lin's appearance, with a rare expression of pride.

  This little daughter has never let her worry since she was a child, but no matter how she can make trouble, she is still her mother, and she can’t get out of her palm anyway.

   Zhuolin asked: "Where do you want to take me?"

Mrs. Sheng said: "Don’t make it as if my mother is trying to harm you. The boy from the Long family is about to get married. Go and say joy. You also go with it. Since no one in the capital wants to marry you, then look at the Northeast. Can you find a good person for you."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sheng glanced at Zhuo Lin a little disgustedly, "Do you know now? What good are those methods for you? I could still find someone in the capital to marry, but now I can only marry your cousin. The same, I went to the remote part of the Northeast."

  In Mrs. Sheng’s view, the best place is naturally Jiangnan, followed by Beijing, and places like the northwest and northeast are purely poor rural areas, where poor mountains and rivers lead to the people. Therefore, she has always looked down upon Mrs. Long who was married to the four northern provinces.

  Go to the four northern provinces? Zhuo Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Yes, I'll clean up and salute."

   "No need, I have already prepared the luggage for you, and the school has also asked the teacher for leave for you." Mrs. Sheng said.

Zhuo Lin's expression was slight, and Mrs. Sheng didn't care what she was thinking, "Let's go, don't think about playing tricks, you have to go or not. If you are still restless this time, you won't come next time. It’s just that I still have your father."

  Zuo Lin frowned, thinking of the father in the family who had read dead books for a lifetime.

  Her father is a weak person. He listened to his grandfather and grandmother when he was young, and listened to his wife after getting married. He never made any decisions for himself.

  He loves his children very much, regardless of whether they are sons or daughters. But his weak character is doomed, and he can't do anything for his daughters when they need him.

  This truth was completely understood by Zhuo Lin the year her sister got married. Before that, she had always thought that her father was their support.

   On that day, she originally hid behind the bookshelf to read, but accidentally overheard the conversation between her sister and her father. Her sister cried and begged her father to say that she did not want to marry into the Wei family. The Wei family is indeed a rich man, but the family relationship is intricate, not to mention, the poor health of the young master of the Wei family is not a longevity at all. The most important thing is that there are several concubines around the young master of the Wei family.

Sister    has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and she has no interest in businessmen. What is a good match for such a person?

  Father had already promised her sister to refuse the marriage at the time, and Zhuo Lin was also very happy to see her sister's face bursting into laughter.

  But it changed the next day. My sister saw only the guilt look of her father in the harsh reprimand of her mother.

  The mother severely punished the sister, and their father was just watching from the beginning to the end. Even if he wanted to persuade his wife to stare at him, he could only bow his head in despair.

  If it hadn’t been for Zhuo Lin to rush over and push away the woman who played the board, I’m afraid her sister would be beaten into bedridden.

  Afterwards, the father came to visit her sister quietly and told her that she was sorry. Said that he mentioned the rejection of marriage, but their mother disagreed.

   Said that the Wei family is actually not bad. The older sister is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and the Wei family dare not wrong her. My father said a lot, but my sister only responded indifferently, but her eyes no longer had the same brilliance when she looked at her father.

  Two months later, her sister sadly married into Wei's family.

   On the day of her sister's marriage, she saw a young man in plain clothes being driven out by the back door by the Sheng family. She knew that person, who was the son of her father's old friend and a student of her father. He was one year older than her sister. She occasionally called him a brother.

  But she didn't know until that day that the man and her sister had a marriage contract since childhood. It's just that Zhuo Lin's family was down when she was still young, and the Sheng family never mentioned the marriage again.

  After that day, Zhuo Lin never saw the young man again.

  Until a long, long time later...During an overseas visit, Zhuo Lin met a middle-aged man abroad. The other party is still alone, although it looks glamorous, it can't hide the vicissitudes of life.

  At that time, her elder sister, Sheng Zhuoyan, the eldest of the Sheng family who was well-known in Jiangnan, had passed away a long time ago.
