"Click!"
Meng Lang closed the door and was stunned for a moment as soon as he reached the elevator. He saw Lin Haitang waiting for the elevator at the entrance of the corridor.
"Uh...what a coincidence."
Sanlin Haitang looked slightly unnatural when he saw it was Meng Lang.
"Well! I still have to go to work."
"Oh, that's how it is."
The elevator door opened, and there was no one inside. The two of them walked in silently. The floor they were on was the 11th floor.
The electronic display on the elevator began to slowly go down.
"Um...I'm sorry just now."
"Ah? What?" Meng Lang didn't react.
"I shouldn't have been angry with you just now."
After getting angry before, Lin Haitang felt a little regretful after he calmed down.
After all...it is a person's freedom to live what kind of life they want. If two people like each other, whether they go to a bar or a hotel, what position does she, an outsider, have to dictate?
She felt that what happened last night had made her a little confused, and she was always thinking about strange things in her mind.
"Oh, it's nothing, actually..."
"Ding~" At this moment, the elevator went down to the first floor, the elevator door opened, and several residents were waiting outside. Meng Lang had no choice but to stop talking and walked out of the elevator with Lin Haitang.
What did you want to say just now?" Lin Haitang looked at Meng Lang as he walked out of the building,
"Well..." Meng Yilang hesitated, "Would you like to go somewhere with me?"
"Huh? Where to go?" Lin Haitang was a little confused.
"So... let's go meet an old friend."
Sioux City First Affiliated Hospital.
In the ward, Lu Kexin was lying on the bed, her eyes a little dazed.
She hadn't closed her eyes since she was sent to the hospital last night, and her mind was in a mess. But the only thing that was still clear in her mind was the suffocating feeling as if she had fallen into an abyss after waking up.
And the first thing I saw in the darkness...that man's ferocious face!
"Dong dong!" A knock on the door brought Lu Kexin back to reality. She looked at the door. After being stunned for two or three seconds, her eyes slowly opened wide.
"You...why are you here?!"
Meng Lang walked in, and Lu Kexin couldn't help but shrink back from the hospital bed, her eyes evasive, looking very uneasy.
He reluctantly put the fruit basket in his hand on the bedside.
"Don't be afraid, I came today with no ill intentions."
Following Meng Lang in was Lin Haitang, who looked puzzled.
She naturally recognized that the woman shivering in the hospital bed was Lu Kexin who was with Meng Lang that day.
It's just that the other party now has gauze wrapped around his forehead, and he looks lost, as if he has been stimulated by something, and when he sees Meng Lang, he is like a mouse seeing a cat.
What's happening here?
Eh? Wait! The marks on the other party’s neck... seem to be strangulation marks, right?
Lin Haitang looked at the shallow bruise on the other person's neck with a shocked face, his eyes full of doubts.
"I'm sorry, that day... wasn't my idea, I didn't want to... I'm really sorry..."
Lu Kexin hugged her knees, not daring to look into Meng Lang's eyes, but kept shrinking back.
"Yeah! I know, it's Wang Zhiping, right." Meng Lang looked at the other person and said calmly.
Lu Kexin stiffened and looked at Meng Lang in disbelief.
Does he know? Did he know from the beginning?
Meng Lang sighed, "I heard about what happened yesterday. Is the child okay?"
Lin Haitang's eyes almost popped out when he heard this.
Children? You...have reached this point?
But looking at the atmosphere at the scene, that doesn't seem to be the case. The relationship between the two seems to be very weird?
She stood aside silently, quietly being a listener.
"The doctor said I was just a little frightened and gave me some anti-fetal medicine. It's nothing serious anymore."
Lu Ke was pleased to see that Meng Lang was not here to accuse the army, and his mood became a little more stable, but he still lowered his head.
He didn't dare to look into Meng Lang's eyes.
"Yeah! That's good." Meng Lang smiled, pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Can you tell me the story between you two?"
Lu Kexin raised her head and glanced at Meng Lang.
Perhaps it was her guilt for Meng Lang, or perhaps it was the other party's gentle tone like an old friend, her face struggled for a moment, but she finally spoke slowly.
"I came out of the countryside when I was 18 years old. I left home alone and came to Suzhou City to work hard.
Because I only had a junior high school education, I couldn't find any good jobs. I worked in textile factories, electronics factories, running stalls on overpasses, and working as an apprentice in barber shops.
My parents valued boys over girls, so most of the money I earned from working had to be sent home to send my younger brother to school. That period was the hardest time I had ever lived.
Living in a basement, I had egg noodles in clear soup for three meals a day.
Later in the Foot Washing City, I met Wang Zhiping.
He is five years older than me. He always looks for me when he comes and brings me some snacks. Of course I can tell that he is interested in me.
Later, he started inviting me to dinner and movies.
I didn't refuse, because he always wore suits, drove luxury cars, and spent a lot of money. I could also tell that he was rich.
My life started to get better, I sent more money to my parents, and my younger brother no longer had to worry about college tuition. When I returned home, I looked like a successful person with a successful career.
Later...he confessed to me that he had a family."
Having said this, Lu Kexin's eyes turned slightly red and she revealed a wry smile.
"But you didn't choose to separate from him." Meng Lang sighed.
"Separate? Why separate?" Lu Kexin suddenly laughed, a bit bitterly.
"You think I've been deceived? Haha!
Would a woman who had worked her way up from the bottom of society be so naive that she couldn't tell whether a man had a family?
I wasn't that naive, but I still chose to follow him."
Meng Lang was silent.
"I had an abortion once, and the doctor said this is my last hope..." Lu Kexin touched her belly.
"So he asked me to abort him again, but I didn't agree. Then, like many mistresses, I started forcing him to marry me. It's very bloody, isn't it?"
Lu Kexin smiled and wiped her tears.
"Then he told me that if I can find an honest person to take over, we can continue to be happy... Haha!
Just continue to take what you need.
Then...he sets his sights on you.
He said that you are too naive, you are an honest person, and your investment failed recently during the stock market crash, so you are the best candidate.
So we met by chance on the street, wanting to be with you when you were at your lowest...
You should know what happened next."
Meng Lang sighed helplessly.
Turns out that’s the case!
To be continued...
