MTL - Aim at That Star-Chapter 49 The boy I like is tall and bright

"So, that day Mu Liangzhe came to you and gave you a lot of gifts because of this?"

As it approached late at night, the hanging lamps in the yard were lit up, the shadows of the trees lingered, and the wind was finally a bit cool.

Yu Kunyu curled up on the reclining chair like a small animal, frowning, and began to trace the source, scrupulously investigating the whole incident.

Because of the sweltering heat in the summer, the baby in her belly is getting older again. The long hair is not easy to dry after washing, and it is easier to catch cold when the night wind blows, so she cut her hair short two months ago.

She has short hair cut to the ears, her face is more and more serene and her eyes are bright, and a pair of dark round eyes are wet, staring at you obediently.

Jiang Shi's whole heart softened when she saw it.

He nodded: "That's right."

Yu Kunyu felt a little annoyed and regretted: "Who cares about his things, it's not that we can't buy them ourselves, we wouldn't accept them if we knew earlier."

"It's a big loss if you don't charge."

Jiang Shi rubbed her short, shaggy hair with a slight smile on his lips, "It's the only apology that people are willing to offer. If I don't accept it, I'll just kneel for nothing."

"The only apology?"

Yu Kunyu didn't understand very well, "Didn't you say that the Mu family has already sent Mu Liangzhe back to Jinling, ready to give up Mu Pengbo, such a direct heir?"

"The connection of family blood, how can it be so easily separated."

The man shook his head, "Look at that time, I did everything I could, and even went to Gu Changying's house in person and said in front of her that even if she married, I wouldn't recognize this marriage, but you see At the end of the day, my family married me without authorization, and I am not responsible for it."

"Then what do you mean...the Mu family is just pretending?"

Thinking of this, Yu Kunyu immediately sat up from the bench, clenching her small fists and gnashing her teeth, "It's so shameless! I must make them look good!"

Jiang Shi couldn't help laughing: "It can't be said to be pretending, at most it can only be said that Mu Minghui is betting that the son he is proud of will survive this and make a comeback."

"......What's the meaning?"

"Let's put it this way, this time, Mu Minghui is willing to ask his second son to come and apologize to me in such a low voice this time, and even expelled Mu Pengbo from the house in the face, but it's not because of Master Duan's face. He's just afraid of me."

The man raised his eyes and looked at the night sky quietly, "If Mu Pengbo really shot me to death at that time, then Mu Minghui would at most beat him a few times, or be fired, or stripped of his military rank, but I will never really do anything to him. But Mu Minghui just insulted me severely, and neither cut the grass nor eradicated the roots. Then Mu Minghui will worry that I will gain power in the future, and he will give him the Mu family in revenge. What an impact it has had.”

After all, Jiang Shi is still alive and well, and his personal value has not been compromised at all, so Master Duan and other peaks who value him will definitely spend a lot of effort to protect him.

So the Mu family couldn't kill him.

Since the Mu family can't kill him, they can only obey, and use the greatest sincerity to get Jiang Shi's understanding to avoid confrontation in the future.

"Mu Minghui's biggest problem is not that he doesn't know how to distinguish right from wrong, nor that he is too ruthless and impulsive, but that his brain is too stupid. When he has no absolute control over the truth, he will attack recklessly, but his movements are not clean enough and neat, and he is indecisive. , short-sighted, ruthless and unrealistic."

Jiang Shi said, while helping Yu Kunyu peel the orange, his slender and fair fingers flipped up and down between the peel and flesh, which was very beautiful against the moonlight and lamp shadow.

His tone was slow and gentle, and he couldn't be more gentle: "You haven't always been curious, why when I was studying, Huihui caused such a big disaster, but Huihui was lifted up by the teacher and put down gently, even a substantive one. Didn't you get punished?"

"why?"

The man stuffed the peeled pulp into her mouth and smiled lightly, "Because I have chosen the right enemy every time, killed them in the most suitable way, and killed them to the point where they couldn't die any longer. die."

Yu Kunyu's eyes widened.

Jiang Shi curled his lips: "Actually, Mu Pengbo and Gu Changying don't like me and want to kill me, I can understand, but they are too brainless.

"What would be the wisest way?"

"The most sensible thing to do is to assassinate me quietly and in a very despicable way."

Miss Yu sneered: "You are a vegetarian when you are the government, and you will find out."

"Find out what's important, just suppress the Mu family. Do you think the Mu family is a small family? Really, Master Duan is not qualified to challenge Mu Minghui. So we can find out the truth. People, the seat is high enough, and I won't break the face with the Mu family just because of me. But because of me and the Mu family, we won't be able to find out the truth. "

The man spread his hands, "In this way, Mu Pengbo will be reprimanded by his father at most, and nothing major will happen."

"Then why didn't he do it?"

"He's stupid."

Jiang Shi said with his legs crossed, "When I went out to kill people back then, the ones I picked were all lonely soldiers with outstanding abilities but no relatives or friends, so it wouldn't cause much trouble if I killed them. But Mu Pengbo is different. , he picked me as soon as he picked it. He didn't even look at how well-connected the young master is. His relatives and friends are all over the country... No, all over the world, countless people have had life-long friendships with Lao Tzu. What kind of shrimp, soldier and crab from a small household will fail?"

"Not only that, but he also chose the most open place, and used the most open and honest way to humiliate me in public, stabbed a hornet's nest without knowing it, and made a series of people hate him."

—Although what Jiang Shi said sounded a little narcissistic.

But it is.

Mu Minghui said that he meant to expel Mu Pengbo from the house, but in fact he still had some expectations in his heart.

He was betting that this son would not rely on the protection of the family, and that he would still be able to stand up again in the face of adversity, so that when Mu Pengbo came out again, it would be the time when the Mu family would be completely in his hands.

To be honest, Jiang Shi's actions this time also gave Mu Pengbo a chance to sharpen himself.

With what Mu Minghui knew about this son, he really could do it.

Mu Pengbo has a stronger mind than the average person, his methods are fierce, and his ability is outstanding. Even without the help of the Mu family, he can still succeed.

But Mu Minghui calculated everything, but missed a premise:

His son Mu Pengbo used to be a flower in the greenhouse and needed to be sharpened, but Jiang Shi was not.

Jiang Shi is not only the protection of the teacher and Shangfeng.

He has a wide range of connections and rich experience. He has made countless friends from military academies to foreign countries to do missions in North and Northeast China. Although he has killed countless enemies, he has saved countless compatriots.

Mu Pengbo humiliated Jiang Shi like this in front of the government building, for those who were friends with Jiang Shi, it was like humiliating himself.

When they learned that the Mu family had abandoned this son, they came to spit and threw stones into the well.

You said that Mu Pengbo, such a proud and arrogant man of heaven, how could he bear it?

It would be fine if it was just a slump and no one would pay attention, but now, with the exception of Gu Changying, almost everyone in the world is against him.

Mu Pengbo's self-esteem completely collapsed. At first he resisted, then he mocked him coldly, and finally gave up on himself.

In the end, he began to use alcohol to relieve his sorrows, and even opium to relieve his sorrows.

As more and more money was spent, Gu Changying was forced to drop out of school and spend all day writing articles at home to earn a living.

This also led to that she had witnessed several scenes of Mu Pengbo smoking opium, so that she could no longer deceive herself with her conscience.

The most intense quarrel between Mu Pengbo and Gu Changying happened over the opium issue.

Gu Changying told him to quit, he first agreed, but then he couldn't control it, so he smoked behind her back.

Gu Changying hid the money, and he went to steal it. If he couldn't steal it, he came to rob it.

What happens when you rob a woman for money?

- Domestic violence.

Gu Changying felt that she couldn't take it any longer.

She is getting divorced.

But she didn't know how to leave.

She was a person with no social circle, and even if she went to school later, she only got on well with Mu Pengbo's sister.

It is naturally impossible for the other party to help her instead of helping her brother.

No matter where she fled, there were so many in Jinling City, and Mu Pengbo could find her.

And every time she was found, she was greeted with punches, kicks and threats.

After the fight, the other party seemed to feel regretful and guilty again, hugged her and cried, saying that Changying is sorry, I was just too afraid that you would leave me, don't leave me, I will be good to you in the future...

Gu Changying was covered in bruises and scars, her eyes were dim, she was lying on the ground like a puppet at the mercy of others, her whole heart was numb.

She even felt that there was no need to live like this anymore.

It was cloudy and rainy that day, and the whole sky in Jinling was gray.

She put on her neatest and most beautiful little foreign dress—it was a gift from Yu Kunyu when she sent something to her hometown when she didn’t divorce Jiang Shi—she put on this little foreign dress and stepped on it. With high heels, he walked to the Huai River and looked at the vast water surface from a distance, his face was very calm.

If you jump down.

Or die. Or go back to modern times.

If not jump.

That is life is better than death.

"Mommy mommy!"

Suddenly, a child's voice came from the ear, the voice was immature and the pronunciation was slurred, "There is a mother-in-law who is going to fall!"

I don't know why, but this voice is very unfamiliar.

But Gu Changying rarely turned around.

She was stunned.

Standing on the bank of the river, staring blankly at two figures, one big and one small, not far away.

The child is very small, running here with strong short legs, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, from his white and tender face, Gu Changying can even see a little bit of Jiang Shi's shadow.

Gu Changying was very familiar with the woman holding him.

She looks like she is in her twenties, with short ear-length hair and a coat, she looks like a pure female student.

It was clearly Yu Kunyu.

It's exactly the same as three years ago, nothing has changed.

The woman's eyes kept on the child at her feet all the time, and she reluctantly advised: "Li Li, you run slower, the ground is full of mud, you pedal so hard, the mud on the shoes can't be washed clean, go back. Mother Lin wants to say that we are not frugal anymore."

Naturally, the child could not understand what she said.

He is only two years old now, he is ignorant, and he can't speak clearly. He is just curious about this mother-in-law who is crumbling in the autumn wind by the shore.

Under Gu Changying's stunned gaze, they gradually walked in front of them.

Yu Kunyu looked at her carefully, with a bit of surprise on her face: "Gu Changying?"

"..."

Gu Changying did not speak.

No wonder Yu Kunyu didn't recognize her for a while.

In just a few short years, she has changed a lot.

Even though he was wearing a beautiful and delicate foreign dress, his body was a little hunched, his exposed ankles and arms still had scars, his eyes flinched and dodged, and his skin was much darker.

No wonder Li Li wanted to call her mother-in-law.

Seeing that her gaze fell on Li Li curiously, Yu Kunyu introduced a few words: "This is my son, Jiang Jiaxun, nicknamed Li Li."

Gu Changying complimented a few words clumsily: "The name...it sounds so nice."

Yu Kunyu held her son, nodded at her, said goodbye without saying anything, and turned to leave.

For some reason, Gu Changying called to her subconsciously, "Yu Kunyu."

The other party turned around, and the beautiful face showed some doubts.

"You, don't you ask me, why am I here?"

She paused, her tone a little bitter, "What if... what if I jumped into the river to commit suicide?"

"Then you jump."

Gu Changying stared at her in shock.

"The current situation is chaotic, and there are many people who cannot survive. Everyone is very busy, some people are busy defending their families and the country, some people are busy betraying the country and seeking glory, some people are busy giving birth and others are busy In the face of death, your life is your own, whether it is life or death, it is up to you to deal with it, there is no need to tell me."

Gu Changying smiled bitterly: "I don't want to take responsibility for myself, but your husband Jiang Shi didn't give me a chance to live at all."

"That's when you don't understand Jiang Shi."

Yu Kunyu interrupted her, holding her ignorant son, her voice was calm, "Jiang Shi has a rule, when dealing with the enemy, he will recklessly kill him. But when dealing with compatriots, as long as the opponent does not join the enemy and become a traitor, it is not killing his father. No matter how deep the personal grudge against him is, he will leave a line of leeway for the other party."

She raised her eyes and curved her lips: "So, even if you really jump into the river today and die, don't blame him, blame yourself."

"I......"

"When you stood in front of me three years ago, accusing me of hypocrisy and blaming all the sins on Jiang Shi, you were very righteous."

Yu Kunyu frowned slightly, "But why does Mu Pengbo treat you like this, but you are resigned and dare not resist? In the end, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the hard, knowing that I am ashamed of you will let you, but your husband won't. So , now there is no need to come before me to express grievances."

Yu Kunyu actually knew something about Gu Changying.

After all, she had serialized novels in their newspapers before, but after that, it gradually lost its original charm, which attracted many readers to write feedback and ended in a hurry.

After that, no new manuscripts were submitted.

The people from the newspaper office came back to learn about the situation, and they couldn't bear to tell the other party's situation.

Everyone who heard it at the time sighed a little, but after all, it was a family matter, so they just reminded a few words at most, and it was not easy to mix it up.

At this moment, Gu Changying took a deep breath and held back the tears that were about to burst out: "I also want to resist, but how do you tell me to resist? He is a big man, even if the Mu family doesn't care about him now, he still has some old friends. What about me? I live alone in this era, how can I resist?"

"There's always a way."

In fact, Yu Kunyu was too lazy to talk to her, her tone was light, "Go to the war zone, go to the front lines, go to the occupied provinces and cities to see the civilians who were alive but were stabbed to death by the Japanese army who broke into the door with a bayonet. We, there is really no way."

Jiang Jiaxun was led by his mother and walked a few steps forward. He didn't know what to think, and then stumbled back and shoved the peaches in his hands into Gu Changying's arms: "Mother-in-law, eat it."

Yu Kunyu didn't stop her.

She glanced flatly at Gu Changying for the last time, then took her son and left.

Gu Changying held a peach that had already been eaten a few bites, watched them walk to the side of the road, and saw a tall man in military uniform waiting for them.

As soon as Jiang Jiaxun touched the man's knee, he hugged him tightly, not knowing what to do, the man picked him up and threw him into the car.

She looked at the harmonious atmosphere in which their family could hardly get in, and looked at the warm scene under the bleak autumn mood, and wiped her tears.

She held the peach in her arms tightly and looked at the green river.

She feels so lonely.
