"No."
Mong Si spoke as he took the documents.
Zhu Junqiao's eyes lit up, "Bro, are you going to help me with the documents?"
"shut up!"
"Oh."
It looks like when dealing with him, you need to persistently pursue and then act pitiful, and then his compassionate heart will come out!
Zhu Junqiao seems to have found a way to get along with Mong Si, and she is particularly excited. There was a hint of cunning in her eyes as she turned around and took a pen from the pen holder on the desk, handing it to Mong Si. Mong Si looked at the pen in Zhu Junqiao's hand.
He hesitated and took it. His identity had already been exposed, and Zhu Junqiao would soon know that his notes were different from Zhu Junjie's and had no connection. Mong Si's living environment from childhood to adulthood was very harsh, and it was difficult for Zhu Junqiao to control the extent of his education.
It is said that this is his first time leaving the island, where life is dark and bloody, resembling a primitive society. Faced with the company's business, he should be at a loss. Zhu Junqiao did not expect him to help her handle work matters. She wanted to keep Mong Si around to spend more time with him and strengthen their sibling bond.
Zhu Junqiao felt a bit more energized after the recent incident. She rubbed her tired eyes and continued to work on the documents. The office quieted down, with only the sound of flipping through papers and the faint breathing of two people remaining. As Zhu Junqiao focused on her work, she exuded a more professional demeanor, with a slightly more serious expression than usual.
Mong Si Closed the file in hand, threw it aside, reached out for another one, and saw her at this moment, causing a slight pause in reaching for the file.
If he had grown up in the Zhu Family, their relationship would have been very good, right!
Unfortunately, he no longer has the opportunity to grow up with her.
Mong Si continued to handle the documents.
He had been stranded on the island for many years. At first, he endured endless humiliation there and contemplated ending his life. However, he felt that such a death would be meaningless. If he were to die, he wanted to take those who bullied him down to hell with him, as a form of retribution.
In order to escape a life worse than death, he worked hard to improve himself.
In such an extreme environment, the only things he could learn, aside from survival skills, were very limited. Fortunately, the person in power on the island at that time had a girl who was about the same age as him. He had lived in the city with his foster parents since childhood, and as far back as he could remember, his foster parents' family was relatively well-off, owning a valuable piano.
His foster mother used to play the piano frequently. At that time, she was not as irritable and fierce-looking as she later became. She would hold him, sit at the piano, and teach him to play.
He is very intelligent. His foster mother only needs to teach him once or twice, and he will learn it. At a young age, he can play many pieces. Every time someone comes to visit, his foster parents will ask him to play two pieces. When others praise him, his foster parents will be very happy. However, the good times did not last long. His foster parents' family encountered an economic crisis, and he was no longer allowed to approach the piano.
He has a good memory; the things he learned as a child are etched in his mind and he won't forget them. The daughter of the island owner also studies piano. She accidentally saw the black and white piano keys he drew on the ground and asked him if he could play the piano. He said he could.
The girl didn't believe him and fiercely whipped him, saying that if he lied to deceive her, she would have someone chop off his hand. He grimaced in pain as the bodyguard beside the girl dragged him like a dead dog into the most luxurious and opulent two-story villa on the island.
From the outside, the villa looked quite ordinary, covered with some green vegetation. However, once inside, it became apparent that the interior was primarily decorated in gold, with a bright yellow-orange hue that seemed blinding to the eye.
Mong Si has lived offshore and had foster parents. Before their downfall, the interior decoration of their home was very stylish, much more comfortable compared to the two-story building of the island owner. The interior of the building exuded a strong sense of nouveau riche, as if afraid that others wouldn't know he was wealthy. Mong Si felt a sharp pain from his wound and wanted to carefully examine the building, but a bodyguard by his side gave him a quick glare, causing him to quickly avert his gaze.
The island is a lawless zone, and the island owner is like a local emperor, holding the power of life and death. Offending him guarantees a miserable life.
The people around him abuse his influence, behaving tyrannically on the island, where fighting and killing are common occurrences.
When Mong Si first arrived on the island, he was unaware of the local rules. While walking, he inadvertently blocked a bodyguard's path and was brutally beaten until he lost consciousness.
At that time, he exhaled more than he inhaled, and many people thought he wouldn't make it, but in the end, he stubbornly pulled through.
Mong Si is afraid of getting beaten up and dares not look around.
After entering the attic, he was pressed in front of a piano, and the girl asked him to play a piece.
He had been on the island for more than two years, working hard every day without any opportunity to touch the piano. After two years, it was inevitable that he would be rusty when asked to play again. Moreover, the girl kept gently stroking the whip in her hand, which seemed like it could strike him at any moment. Fear welled up inside him, causing his fingers to tremble.
After just a couple of notes, the girl impatiently asked, "Do you even know how to play?"
The implication is, "If you don't know how to do it, just wait to be chopped!" The girl has a violent personality and enjoys hanging and beating people she doesn't like, often causing serious injuries. Mong Si has experienced her cruelty and is afraid of not being able to play well, leading to a tragic outcome. He can only suppress his fear and try to recall the scenes of his stepmother teaching him to play the piano.
With the help of a strong survival instinct, those blurry, almost forgotten images became clear in his mind. His trembling fingers gradually obeyed the commands of his brain, and a light and cheerful melody of "Heart River" flowed out from the piano keys as his fingers danced across them. Despite some flaws, he managed to play the piece in its entirety.
The girl was not skilled at playing the piano and couldn't tell the difference at all. "It sounds pretty good, so starting today, you'll stay by my side. My mom wants me to practice, and you have to sit in front of the piano. You can't stop unless I give the command. If you play poorly, I'll beat you!"
As she spoke, she swung the whip in her hand, and the sound of it made Mong Si shrink his shoulders like a startled bird. He had thought that without having to do hard labor, his life would be a bit easier. Instead, the girl treated him like an animal, making him crawl on the ground.
She lifted her foot to touch his face, making him bark like a dog, call her master, and kneel to pick up things, gradually eroding away his dignity. What made him feel most desperate was that, in order for him to play her role well and deceive her mother, she made him wear women's clothing. He already had a good appearance, and after not doing hard labor, not being exposed to the wind and sun, his sunburned skin slowly turned white. With sufficient food, his body was no longer as thin and small as it was at the beginning.
