1987 My Era

Chapter 520,

Beijing, National People’s Congress.

Liu Li, who was eating in the cafeteria, was suddenly patted on the shoulder from behind. When he turned around, he found that it was a vice president of the Student Union.

Liu Li greeted: "Senior."

The senior student asked: "Liu Li, I want to ask you something."

Liu Li nodded.

The senior student asked: "Do you have a classmate named Li Heng? The one who released an instrumental album?"

Liu Li didn't know why the senior asked her this, and still nodded.

After confirming that it was Li Heng, the senior student sat opposite him and asked, "Can you introduce him to me? I particularly like his book Cultural Journey."

Liu Li was confused. "What is "Cultural Journey"? "

The senior student was surprised: "It seems you don't know that Li Heng is a famous writer in December?"

With a clang, the spoon fell into the bowl. Liu Li was a little confused, and after a while he asked back: "Is he a great writer?"

The senior student smiled and took out a newspaper from her bag, pointed at the illustration on the front page and asked, "Is it him?"

"It's him. Even though the newspaper is a little blurry, I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes."

After Liu Li confirmed it, he took the newspaper and started reading it. He felt sick after finishing it. This guy actually hid it so deeply!
This guy turned out to be a great writer!
At this moment, Liu Li was shocked beyond words!
The senior student asked: "Liu Li, how is your relationship with him?"

Liu Li had come to her senses now, and replied hesitantly, "The relationship is okay, but, but he has a girlfriend."

The senior student didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "How can he be single with someone so outstanding? The girls around him can't all be blind. Can you introduce me to them?"

This senior sister usually had a good relationship with him and was the most humble leader in the student union. Liu Li was stumped for a moment and had to bite the bullet and say, "I'll ask for you, but I can't guarantee it."

The senior student said cunningly: "Don't ask directly. Next time he comes to play with you, tell me in advance."

She felt that asking directly would not work, and she just wanted a chance to meet him by chance.

Liu Li was about to answer when she found that Chen Zitong was standing beside her.

The senior student looked at Chen Zitong and she immediately knew who the other person was. This freshman had become quite famous right after she came in, and many people were talking about her privately.

The senior student stood up and said to Liu Li, "Don't forget about my business. I will treat you to roast duck at Quanjude later."

Liu Li smiled bitterly and perfunctorily. As soon as the senior left, she looked at Chen Zitong eagerly. Because of the relationship between Chen Zijin and Yang Yingwen, the two also knew each other.

Chen Zitong didn't sit down, but asked: "Liu Li, that guy just now wanted to steal my sister's girl?"

Liu Li touched his head and handed the newspaper in his hand to the other party.

Chen Zitong took the newspaper and looked at me. He pouted his lips instantly and said proudly, "No wonder a vixen wanted to take advantage of him. It turns out he's been exposed."

She showed her sharp fangs and made a weird expression to threaten him before leaving: "Don't introduce us to each other, or I will ruin your relationship and make you single for the rest of your life."

Liu Li touched his nose, not daring to offend this eccentric devil.

With the newspaper, Chen Zitong found his sister's dormitory like the wind. As soon as he entered the door, he asked the people inside: "Hey? Where is my sister? Sister Yun, you and my sister played best, where is my sister?"

Sister Yun said, "She's home. Your aunt just took her away not long ago."

"What? My aunt picked her up but not me? Are you treating me differently?" Chen Zitong was immediately defeated.

Sister Yun asked, "What do you want to see Zijin about?"

Chen Zitong shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay. I have no money left. I'll ask her for money. Sister Yun, please don't worry about me."

Given her personality, if the Chen family hadn't stopped her from spreading the word, she would have already shouted loudly that Li Heng was her brother-in-law.

The reason why the Chen family didn't allow her to spread the news outside was because Old Man Chen had known about Li Heng's romantic affairs for a long time, and was not sure that his eldest granddaughter would be able to win over the eldest lady of the Yu family in the future, so he chose to keep a low profile.

Of course, being low-key does not mean giving up.

The Chen family brought Chen Zijin home this morning just for this matter.

In the Santana, Chen Zijin asked his aunt who was driving, "Aunt, what does grandpa want to talk to me about?"

Chen Xiaomi asked: "Have you read today's newspaper?"

Chen Zijin shook his head: "I was studying this morning."

Chen Xiaomi said, "There are newspapers in the back row. Take one and have a look."

Hearing this, Chen Zijin turned his head and found that the back row was full of newspapers, so he picked up one.

When he saw the news headlines and the interview photos in the newspaper, Chen Zijin roughly understood the reason and immediately suppressed his excitement and started reading.

Six minutes later, she finished reading and looked up: "Li Heng is exposed."

"Well, you are not a qualified girlfriend. I guess everyone in the country knows it now, but you are still in the dark." Chen Xiaomi teased.

Chen Zijin turned around and brought over several more newspapers. She didn't say anything along the way. She was happily reading the newspapers and watching people praising her husband.

When I returned to Chen's house, I ran into Zhong Lan who was sweeping the floor as soon as I entered the door.

Zhong Lan looked at her daughter with a complicated expression and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Chen Zijin shook his head: "Not yet."

Zhong Lan said, "There are some on the table. We just bought them. Have some."

Chen Xiaomi asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why haven't you gone to work today?"

Zhong Lan frowned, then sighed: "Xiaomi, do you also treat me as an outsider?"

Chen Xiaomi went over and held her sister-in-law's arm: "How could that be? I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so..."

Zhong Lan was silent for a while, then said, "That little bastard was in the spotlight today. Did the old man ask you to call Zijin back?"

Chen Xiaomi didn't hide it and nodded.

Zhong Lan glanced at her eldest daughter, then picked up the broom and continued sweeping the floor. However, her sweeping movements were not as neat and careful as before, and it was obvious that she was angry.

At this time, Zhong Lan was very upset: How could that little bastard have such good deeds? He slept with his favorite eldest daughter and became successful. Does God still have eyes?

In her opinion: her past behavior was not wrong, but she was angry that the bad guy in the Li family had destroyed her daughter's chastity so early, destroying her good intentions.

She had never given birth to a son, and had always felt guilty towards her husband. She had wanted to train her eldest daughter well and have her take over as a husband to carry on the Chen family line.

But no matter how much she planned, she never expected Li Heng to interfere and snatch her eldest daughter away halfway. How could she not be angry?

In anger, when he heard Tian Run'e's proposal to arrange marriages for the two little ones, he not only refused directly, but also vented his inner anger.

So there was the scene of the two families breaking up two years ago.

But now, that little bastard is really doing a good job and making Tian Run'e proud, making her feel like a nobody now.

This morning, she was reading the newspaper secretly while feeling irritated. She couldn't stop reading secretly while feeling irritated. By the end, she was almost depressed to death!
After entering the study and closing the door, the aunt and nephew sat on the chairs, facing Mr. Chen and Chen Gaoyuan inside.

Chen Zijin, the youngest of the three, broke the silence and asked, "Grandpa, Dad, why did you ask me to come back?"

Chen Gaoyuan asked: "Li Heng's identity as a writer has been exposed. Did you know?"

Chen Zijin smiled and said, "My aunt told me."

Old Master Chen interrupted and said to his son, "Go to the Li family and ask about the frame-up of Jianguo."

Chen Gaoyuan understood and walked out.

When the footsteps faded away, Mr. Chen looked at his granddaughter. His wrinkled face, which was usually as calm as water, showed a rare ripple. "How much do you know about Li Heng?"

Not understanding what his grandfather meant, Chen Zijin did not speak out in a hurry.

Old Master Chen glanced at his little daughter, and Chen Xiaomi spoke up, "Zijin, there's something we don't know whether we should tell you."

Chen Zijin's heart skipped a beat, and he then came up with a guess as to why his grandfather had asked him to come back.

Chen Xiaomi asked, "Do you know that besides you, Li Heng has flirted with other girls outside?"

Chen Zijin lowered his head, feeling a little helpless in the face of this question. After a long while, he slowly raised his head again: "It seems that my aunt knows everything."

Chen Xiaomi was surprised: "You knew about this a long time ago?"

Chen Zijin bit her lower lip and asked, "Is it Song Yu and Xiao Han?"

Chen Xiaomi looked at Mr. Chen.

Old Master Chen played with the walnut in his hand without moving a muscle.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaomi asked: "Then how can you bear it?"

Chen Zijin felt wronged: "So what if I can't help it? So what if I can hold it in? Xiao Han has been fighting with me since junior high school, and I have always had a crush on him.

Song Yu is so beautiful that at least nine out of ten boys in our class secretly admire her. She captivated Li Heng the first time they met. When I was in Shao City, I was still able to control them.

I left halfway, which gave them room to survive, and now I can’t control them anymore.”

As she spoke, tears welled up in Chen Zijin's eyes. She felt very upset. If her family had not forced her to leave, none of this would have happened.

Xiao Han had no chance, and Song Yu had no chance either.

The two will go to the same university, and the other women will not have the same chance.

It is true that a slight mistake can lead to a huge error.

This was the thing she regretted the most, and also the thing she was most powerless about.

Chen Xiaomi felt a little reluctant, but finally said: "Besides Song Yu and Xiao Han, there might be..."

Chen Zijin asked: "Are you referring to Yu Shuheng?"

Chen Xiaomi was not calm anymore, "You know this too?"

Chen Zijin said: "Someone told me that Yu Shuheng went to Shangwan Village during the summer vacation."

Chen Xiaomi was speechless and heartbroken, and turned to Grandpa Chen.

Mr. Chen slowly put down the walnuts in his hand, opened the lid and drank a sip of tea, then quietly asked, "Have you ever thought about visiting Fudan University?"

This statement carries enormous significance!
Chen Zijin understood what his grandfather meant almost immediately, but after weighing the pros and cons, he shook his head.

Mr. Chen was surprised, and Chen Xiaomi was also surprised.

Chen Xiaomi held her niece's hand and said, "You like Li Heng so much, why don't you think about going to see him?"

Chen Zijin's eyes drifted out the window and she found her mother sweeping the corridor outside. She immediately understood that her mother had probably heard everything that was being said in the room.

Old Master Chen had noticed his daughter-in-law a long time ago, but he did not stop her, after all, she was Zijin's biological mother. The reason why he did not call her in to discuss the matter together was that he knew that if he called her in, the mother and daughter would probably quarrel again, so he turned a blind eye.

After a long silence, Chen Zijin answered, "Unless he invites me over."

Chen Xiaomi felt sympathetic, and understood her niece's thoughts: Xiao Han was Li Heng's girlfriend in name at Fudan University, and her presence would only bring negative impact to Li Heng's reputation, giving him a bad reputation as a playboy. There was also Yu Shuheng, and if she went there rashly, she might not get anything good, but would ruin Li Heng's impression of her.

Chen Xiaomi didn't withdraw.

Mr. Chen said slowly: "Next time Li Heng comes to Beijing, invite him and his family over for a meal."

The old man said this to his eldest granddaughter, intending to test Li Heng's reaction to her and the Chen family.

It is also testing the true thoughts of the Li family.

At the same time, these words were also said to Zhong Lan outside the window. Next time, it would concern the harmony between the Chen and Li families, and Zijin's lifelong event, so Zhong Lan was warned not to cause trouble.

In addition, Mr. Chen's words have two potential meanings: If the Li family and Li Heng do not pay attention to Zijin, then what it means is needless to say, I hope Zijin has a sense of propriety in his heart. At this point, Mr. Chen has a scale in his heart, and the Chen family has missed the best opportunity to repair with the Li family.

Originally, he was full of wisdom and was waiting for a perfect opportunity.

But he never expected that the only daughter of the Yu family would interfere, which made him hesitant and unable to act according to the original plan. He could only settle for the next best thing.

Old Master Chen knew that because of the incident during the summer vacation two years ago, the Chen family had lost points, and lost a lot of points.

It would be fine if Li Heng was just an ordinary person. If the Chen family is willing, Zijin will still be his legally married wife.

But now, facing the soaring Li Heng, even Old Man Chen doesn't dare to hold out too much hope. He laments that he is old and doesn't have the courage to risk the future of the entire Chen family for his eldest granddaughter.

After all, the Chen family is not just a family on the surface. They are involved in interests with many parties behind the scenes, and he cannot make a judgment casually.

In fact, Mr. Chen had speculated that the probability of the Yu family suppressing the Chen family for the sake of their children's personal affairs was not high, but low probability did not mean impossible. He had enjoyed power for too long and had lost his initial edge and courage to fight.

In fact, didn't he also want to persuade his eldest granddaughter to let go?

But through his observations just now, Mr. Chen came to a conclusion: things cannot be violated.

....
In the capital.

Dayagang, Lao Mo and Jiang Wen teamed up to visit Lao Wang in Beijing, but the doors and windows were closed and no one answered after they called for a long time.

After asking the neighbors, I learned that Mr. Wang from Beijing had gone out early in the morning and took his luggage with him.

Da Yagang looked at the doors and windows, grinned and asked, "I say, could he have run away?"

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "If it were me, I would run away too. He is a 19-year-old great writer. He is too awesome. How embarrassing for Old Wang!"

Lao Mo turned around and said, "There's no more show to watch. Let's go and drink some soy milk."

....
Still in the capital.

After returning from the Writers Association, Mr. Huang closed the door to visitors and hid in his study to sulk. From time to time, the sound of books and teacups being smashed could be heard.

His wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she pushed the door open and said, "I didn't offend you at the beginning, why are you so unforgiving? Now, I have achieved such a great success at the age of 19. You know how amazing I am, right?"

Mr. Huang was angrily silent.

My wife asked, "I heard from Secretary Sun that the newspaper rejected your article and won't publish it?"

Mr. Huang snorted, "Humph! This matter is not over yet. Your yellow hair hasn't even grown out yet, can you still cover the sky with one hand?"

My wife was sitting nearby and asked cautiously, "The newspaper won't even publish your article. Does he have someone behind him?"

Mr. Huang agreed.

The wife asked, "Is it that Mr. Ba who stood up?"

Mr. Huang frowned and said, "I don't know, but I don't think Ba's hands can be that long."

My wife became even more worried, "Does this mean that you don't even know who the enemy is?"

Mr. Huang hesitated to speak.

Before going home, he called several friends in the office who had some background, but they were all very secretive about the matter. When it was mentioned, they either avoided the question or made an excuse to hang up the phone saying they had something else.

The wife advised: "Old Huang, why don't you just keep quiet? This person is not to be offended. Don't offend him again, or else Pingting and the others will be implicated."

Pingting and the others refer to their three daughters.

Mr. Huang waved his hand impatiently: "What do you know about scholars' affairs?"

"I don't understand. I can't read much and I only have a technical secondary school education. When will you change your stubborn temper? I tell you, if you implicate Pingting and the others, I will never forgive you and I will divorce you!" The wife slapped the desk and left angrily.

Hearing the word "divorce", Mr. Huang immediately got furious. He stood up, picked up a chair and threw it against the wall, shouting, "Divorce! Let's go! Divorce today!"

The noise was so loud that soon, the neighbors on the street began to hide in the corners, pointing fingers and gossiping, saying that Mr. Huang’s wife had a man outside, that she was cheating on Mr. Huang, and that the couple couldn’t live together anymore and wanted to get a divorce…

....
Shao City.

Jiang Yue, who had just returned from shopping for groceries and was preparing to make breakfast, heard the phone ringing in the living room.

Hurry over and pick it up.

As soon as the phone was connected, Song Yushu's voice came from the other end: "Sister-in-law, have you read the newspaper today?"

Jiang Yue said: "I saw that your brother has the habit of buying newspapers every day."

Song Yushu praised on the phone: "Sister-in-law, Li Heng is amazing! Let me tell you a story. Before I got up, my colleague came to me excitedly and asked, Yushu, is your nephew-in-law really a great writer? I just watched the morning news and it said that the musician and the great writer are the same person. Oh my God! How can there be such an amazing person in the world? When will you take me to see the real person?..."

Jiang Yue seemed a little taciturn when she heard her sister-in-law's excited story on the phone. After listening patiently, she said, "You two haven't even started dating yet, and you've already told your colleagues?"

"What do you mean by not even a hint? Li Heng and our Yubao have both slept in the same bed, right under my nose. Sister-in-law, you have always been vague about this matter. You don't still look down on them, do you?" Song Yushu said.

Jiang Yue had a hard time speaking about Chen Zijin's affairs. "After all, we are not married yet, and I am afraid something unexpected will happen in the future."

Song Yushu said, "I don't care. I can't care. The news came from Junshan Island. Now, whether it's the small county town, Yueyang No. 1 Middle School where my eldest sister and brother-in-law are studying, or my unit, many people know that our Yubao and Li Heng are dating."

Jiang Yue was silent.

Song Yushu asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me the truth today. Why have you and my brother not made a clear statement on this matter? I think Yubao herself likes Li Heng very much."

Sighing, Jiang Yue weighed the pros and cons and whispered, "Don't spread this matter, and don't tell my parents at home. Li Heng, this Li Heng is very popular with the opposite sex outside. There are many girls pestering him. Your brother and I are worried that something unexpected will happen in the future."

In order to save face for her daughter and Li Heng, Jiang Yue spoke extremely vaguely. She did not directly state that Li Heng was two-timing, but only euphemistically said that there was a girl pestering him.

Song Yushu laughed, "I thought it was no big deal. Li Heng is so outstanding, if there weren't a few women around him, I would think it was wrong.

Sister-in-law, you have to believe in the charm of our Yubao. I like Li Heng very much. Every time Li Heng looks at Yubao, honey almost flows out of his eyes. "

Jiang Yue believed this. She had observed him for a long time and was sure that Li Heng was sincere to her daughter.

However, Li Heng's fickleness was something the couple could not accept and it had always been a thorn in their hearts.

Jiang Yue and Song Shi both have no big ambitions, they just want a happy family and a good life. Li Heng flirts with women outside, which will easily cause unrest in the future, and is contrary to the couple's pursuit of life.

This is also the reason why Shen Xin didn't care too much about the fact that Li Heng had several women, but Jiang Yue was still brooding about it.

Because they have different perspectives, different heights, different families, and even more different pursuits.

Shen Xin has seen many men with multiple mistresses, and it has even become commonplace. In large families, not every man is like this, but there are always a small number of men who can't control their belts because of their power. As long as the man has a sense of propriety, as long as the man does not bring his mistress home and does not cross the bottom line, many women choose to turn a blind eye.

But Jiang Yue is different, she is a petty bourgeois romantic type, she has her own style and taste for life. She and her husband believe in love and choose to be faithful to each other, so naturally she is prejudiced against the fickle Li Heng.

....
Shao City.

"Maidong, do you know? The boy your daughter brought back last time is amazing. He is a great writer."

Maidong had just sent a customer away when the owner of the grocery store next door started shouting questions.

Mai Dong walked over to smoke a cigarette and asked knowingly, "I've been busy and have no idea to read the news. What kind of writer is this?"

"Wow! How strange! You didn't even know this? Come, take a look at this newspaper, I guarantee your jaw will drop!" The store owner handed him the newspaper.

Mai Dong took the newspaper and read it carefully, biting the cigarette butt and said, "You are really not able to recognize a great man. It's really amazing."

At this time, the lady boss of the nearby grocery store interrupted and said, "Mai Dong, your daughter is so beautiful and she is a student at a prestigious university. Is there any chance that you can bring this great writer back to be your son-in-law? He is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is so smart. The child he gives birth to will definitely be very smart too."

Before Mai Dong could reply, Mai Sui's mother came out of the house, smiled and said, "Aunt, our Sui Bao and that person are just classmates and friends. I heard that he has a partner."

"You have a partner? That's a pity." The shop owner said regretfully.

Next door, the owner of a noodle shop gave a thumbs up and said, "So what if she has a partner? If your daughter was named like this in ancient times, she would be destined to be the queen! I think there may be a chance.

Such a young man is not easy to find. If your Mai Sui gives birth to a son or daughter for this great writer, you can also give one to your family to inherit the family line. Then all your descendants will be smart, and you will have the best of both worlds."

Because Li Heng was a great writer and because Mai Sui had brought Li Heng back before, in a short while, all the neighbors gathered around. More than ten or twenty people came together to talk and offer suggestions, instigating Mai Dong and his wife to persuade their daughter to bring this great writer back to be Shaodong's son-in-law.

This gossip lasted for about an hour, and by the end of it, Maidong and his wife were almost brainwashed.

After returning to the house, Maidong looked through the four or five newly bought newspapers, and finally sat there smoking one cigarette after another.

Mai Sui's mother asked, "Why are you daydreaming about Li Heng's business?"

Mai Dong asked: "How long has it been since my daughter called me?"

"How long do you mean? I just had it two days ago." said Mai's mother.

Mai Dong asked: "Did you mention Li Heng?"

Mai's mother recalled and shook her head: "No, Suibao rarely mentioned Li Heng, but often mentioned that girl Manning."

Then she looked puzzled: "Why do you ask this?"

Mai Dong put the newspaper aside and said, "Nothing, just asking casually. I heard that Li Heng's girlfriend is Song Yu?"

The couple also has a house in Shao City. They have met Song Yu more than once. Song Yu, Chen Lijun and Sun Manning have also visited their home.

Mai's mother said, "It seems so. Last summer vacation, Manning said that she accompanied Li Heng to Dongting Lake, which was Song Yu's home."

Then Mai's mother thought of something and asked in a low voice, "By the way, I heard from my brother a while ago that Li Heng had a girlfriend in his hometown before, and the scandal was very big at that time. I wonder if it's true or not?"

Mai Dong asked: "Where did your brother get the news?"

Mai's mother said: "My brother went to Qianzhen to collect tea leaves. During the conversation, he mentioned the famous musician in Qianzhen. Then the tea seller there suddenly told me about Li Heng's past."

As she spoke, Mai's mother gave a brief account of the affairs of Li Heng and Chen Zijin.

"Is this really the case? Is Song Yu his second girlfriend?" Mai Dong asked, holding a cigarette butt.

Mai's mother nodded: "Isn't it? I heard that the Chen family once looked down on Li Heng."

Mai Dong thought for a while, and suddenly warned: "Don't mention the fact that Li Heng and Song Yu are dating to outsiders."

Mai's mother looked confused: "This is not something shameful, why can't we talk about it?"

Mai Dong analyzed, "My intuition tells me that things are not that simple. In fact, I have heard a classmate from Yanggu'ao briefly mention Li Heng's deeds, saying that Chen Jianv and Li Heng were together afterwards, but I have no way to verify whether it is true or not. Therefore, we should not mention the fact that Song Yu and Li Heng are dating to others."

In fact, in Shao City, apart from Sun Manning, Wang Runwen, Yang Yingwen, Yang Cheng and Quexinyan, only Maidong and his wife knew that Li Heng and Song Yu were in a relationship.

Sun Manning never mentioned it to her family.

Others were even more tight-lipped.

As for Jiang Yue and Song Shi, only people in their hometown on Junshan Island knew the news. In Shao City, the couple never mentioned it to anyone else.

In order to avoid possible bankruptcy in the future and to avoid being criticized behind his back, Song Shi is now looking for connections to get transferred to a university in Changshi.

Mai's mother was surprised. "You mean, Li Heng is involved with the two girls?"

"It's possible, but no one knows what it is exactly. Maybe Chen Jianv and Li Heng broke up." Mai Dong said objectively.

Mai's mother immediately became a little worried: "If Li Heng dares to mess around with the two girls, will it also harm our Suibao?"

Mai Dong laughed and said, "I was worried about this just now, but after thinking about it, it's impossible."

Mai's mother asked, "How do you say that?"

Mai Dong said: "You know the relationship between Song Yu and Sui Bao. They are very good sisters, even better than real sisters. You have to believe in our daughter. She has been well behaved since she was young. She knows when to do anything and is not a casual person."

Mai's mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I am relieved about my daughter. I am just worried that Li Heng will do the same thing as he did to Chen's daughter, saying sweet words but actually having a hidden agenda, and coax our daughter into bed as well."

Mai Dong shook his head: "No, if they are really related, do you think Suibao would bring Li Heng to our house with her personality? The fact that she dared to bring him back openly proves that it is pure friendship."

Mai's mother felt that her husband's words made some sense, but she still stood up and said, "It would be better if we didn't mention this. Once I mention it, I don't trust Li Heng's character. I'll call my daughter and ask her so that I can put my mind at ease."

There was only one daughter in the family, so Maidong did not stop her and followed his wife happily to the landline.
