Chapter 22 (1/2)
Chapter 22: Rather work a ten-day s.h.i.+ft then accompany this child!
In fact, it’s not only Jie Wu Shuang, majority of woman’s imagination are very active. This time, during lunch, each counter’s main force will gather and conspire together, with their bright active minds continuously produced a steady stream of topics.
It is said a woman can have millions of topics to discuss , but no matter what’s the topic, it is unavoidable to return to men, and the topic finally gathered at the topic of the “golden turtle” husband.
The Cosmetics counter’s Sister Mei spoke first: “Woman must marry a good man! Don’t be like me, married a poor man, in this lifetime can only stay as a small shop a.s.sistant in the mall!”
“Yes, Yes!” The Jewellery counter’s Xiao Zhou also accost, “You noticed that Mrs. w.a.n.g that often visit our counter to buy jewellery? I heard her husband is the Manager of XX Bank, his really rich! You see her proud and arrogant aura? Really superior!”
Everybody was in succession, Du Lei Si always feel that something was wrong, “Is it really that good to catch a golden turtle husband?” Why is that after she married the President, life seemed more miserable … …?
“That’s for sure!” Sister Mei said earnestly, “You are not married, you don’t know how cruel reality is, if a woman married a poor husband, they’ll age faster!”
Age faster? Du Lei Si’s lips twitched.
“Sister Mei, what you said would be wrong! If you marry a rich husband, it’s likely he’ll have mistresses outside, having Xiao Mi[1], which woman can tolerate this? I believe every women want to stay young, the most important thing is that love is still moist.” Jie Wu Shuang suddenly spoke.
[1] 小蜜 xiǎo mì literally translates to little secret. In this context it’s used to address a girlfriend of a married man.
That makes sense! Du Lei Si nodded.
“Sister Wu Shuang, what you said does not make sense.” Xiao Zhou also rejects her statement, “Can love be eaten? If marriage is a grave, then a marriage with love is only tantamount to a small mound, its uncomfortable to sleep, let alone when it thunders and rain… it’ll leak.”
A mound? Du Lei Si was frighten.
“Xiao Zhou, what you said is absolutely right!” Da Zhou on the side also joined the discussion, “Even though it’s a small mound, but at least there is a place for you. Compared to your husband having mistresses, lying inside the luxurious tomb is better than having your body left in the wilderness.”
Luxurious tomb … … what metaphor is this ah!
⊙﹏⊙b～
“What Da Zhou said is right, you know to marry a handsome, rich husband, how many opponents you will encounter? You have to be aware of the company’s Xiao Mi, business entertainers, even a younger cousin! Haven’t you seen those shows on TV, as long as the men are rich and powerful, every woman will be like flies biting on rotten egg, left will be saying biao ɡe[2], while right will be calling darling, it disgusts me ah! Who knows, one day you will come home and discovered your husband’s illegitimate child that has made soy sauce![3]“
[2] 表哥 biǎo ɡē: a son of father’s sister or of mother’s brother or sister, who is older than oneself; older male cousin
[3] The author is basically trying to say the process of making soy sauce is the length of a rich having an illegitimate child.
When Jie Wu Shuang finished, everyone nodded: “There are many woman circling a rich man, it’s a compet.i.tive pressure environment, as we are not scheming and don’t have the beauty of a fox spirit[4], sooner or later we would be made redundant.”
[4] 狐狸精 Hu Li Jing are Chinese mythological creatures who can be either good or bad spirits. However, in modern time, the term huli jing is a derogatory expression describing a woman who seduces a married or otherwise romantically involved man (a “home-wrecker”). Link
“Lay-offs are good, at least it’ll eventually pay-off! When a home-wrecker s.n.a.t.c.hes your husband, who knows you might not even have the chance to be fired!”
Du Lei Si listened until her eyes widened, is there really do such a thing?
What you hear may be false, but seeing is believing, while Du Lei Si still have doubts the authenticity of those words, a real-life case have occurred on her own body.
At night, when Du Lei Si got home, approaching the living room, she saw a seven or eight year old little girl sitting on the couch, she was dressed in a pink lace dress, very cute.
The words her colleague spoke during lunch all came rus.h.i.+ng out at once.
Xiao Mi? Her age seems a slightly too young.
Mistress? The President shouldn’t have a Lolita fetish.
Cousin? Base on the President’s age, his cousin shouldn’t be so young.
Could it be … …
Du Lei Si’s mind suddenly flashed through the ages being spurned by countless of married women, forever tied by scandalous word, countless marriages from h.e.l.l, two big awful words——illegitimate daughter!
At the same time Du Lei Si’s expression was ever-changing, sitting on the sofa, the little brat have already took noticed of Du Lei Si, she held out her hand, using her short finger’s pointed towards Du Lei Si, in command-like tone: “You, come here.”
“Me?” Du Lei Si regain her consciousness and shuttered over.
Walking nearby, little brat said with a straight face: “Why are you staring at the Princess?”
What a compet.i.tive aura! Du Lei Si was surprised, “I … … I think you’re cute……” she was just looking for an excuse.
Hearing this, the little brat seemed very pleased, her straight face appeared to have relaxed, her eyes sweep Du Lei Si up and down: “You servant surely know how to talk! Are you new here?”
Servant?
Du Lei Si was completely embarra.s.sed, what part of her that looked like a servant? She only dressed a little plain, “Little kid, I’m not……”
The little brat interrupted her and asks, “Hey, where is my cousin?”
Du Lei Si still didn’t understand: “Who is your cousin?”
“Why the new one here are so stupid?” The little brat proudly stared at Du Lei Si, “I’m telling you, my cousin is your master, so I’m also your master! Quickly tell me where did my cousin go?”
So it turns out that a cousin can suddenly appear in the rich families, Du Lei Si finally believed it.
At this time, Housekeeper Yu suddenly appeared, “Miss, Master have gone to the United States on a business trip, he will be back in a few days.” After he finished speaking, he then turned to Du Lei Si and said, “Madam, this is master’s cousin, Princess Hao.”
Princess Hao?
(⊙o⊙)
Indeed such a very nice Princess!
-_-
Du Lei Si amid in silence when Xiao Zu Zong’s[5] face suddenly changed, she aggressively asked, “Housekeeper Yu, what did you call her?”
