Worker Liu hummed a tune and put a bunch of things on the counter.
The supermarket cashier took one look, picked up the code scanner and aimed at each one. After a moment, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Worker Liu: "Are there any more?"
Worker Liu glanced at the window display of cigarettes on the counter: "Here's a Jinling."
"Red?"
Worker Liu thought for a moment and waved his hand in an imposing manner: "Golden ones! Here's one."
On weekdays, a working man would not be so extravagant, but... before I went out to the supermarket today, I suddenly remembered that I still had a useless supermarket shopping card.
On normal days, Liu Da workers would only smoke red Jinling cigarettes. They couldn't afford gold cigarettes, which were twice as expensive. But today, they were extravagant, as if they were sponsored by that boy Chen Nuo.
Worker Liu bought it by counting the numbers. He had just used up a supermarket shopping card.
"Including cigarettes, the total is five hundred and six yuan. Do you want cash or credit card?"
Worker Liu slapped a shopping card with a face value of 500 on the counter: "Use this, use this."
The cashier didn't say anything. He picked up the card and pulled it on the swipe machine. Then he tapped in front of the cash register computer and raised his eyelids again: "The credit limit is not enough."
"Yeah, I know, it's six dollars short, right? I'll pay in cash."
The worker Liu happily took out ten yuan.
The cashier confiscated it and looked at the worker Liu: "The difference is five hundred and four yuan and two cents."
"What?"
Worker Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Holy shit! How much is in this shopping card?"
The cashier glanced at the screen: "The balance is one yuan and eighty cents."
"…………"
Is this what the fuck is done by humans?!
Chen Nuo, just be a human being!
The mentality of Liu Da, a worker, is broken!
Jinling cigarettes changed back to red ones, and he picked out less than half of the things he bought. Workers Liu gritted their teeth and paid the money, and left the supermarket in disgrace.
I was feeling lucky when I suddenly saw a familiar figure on the road.
"Old Sun?"
Worker Liu was about to say hello and call out, but found that Lao Sun was a little lost. He remembered what happened at school in the morning, so he hesitated and did not call out again.
Watching Old Sun enter a rather luxuriously decorated hotel on the street.
Huh? Why did Lao Sun go to the hotel this late at night...
Damn it?
Could it be... opening a room?
For a moment, the fire of gossip suddenly arose in the heart of Liu Dagong.
Old Sun, you can’t tell when you look at those thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Somehow, worker Liu subconsciously walked towards the hotel.
·
The Holiday Inn is a project introduced to the district last year with a foreign investment background. It is currently the most upscale hotel in the district.
Lao Sun walked into the hotel lobby, asked the waiter, and followed the stairs to the Chinese restaurant on the second floor.
Workers Liu stood at the door of the lobby and saw Lao Sun going up the stairs. He thought about it and shook his head.
This old grandson, I don’t know what he’s doing... Hey, I’m full of food, so why bother with other people’s affairs?
He took a step to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, following the lights on the side of the lobby, he seemed to see a figure flashing past.
"List……"
I looked carefully again, but there was no one there again. I looked carefully a few more times, but there was no one there?
Worker Liu was confused for a moment: Could it be that he was angry at that boy and had misjudged the person?
·
Under the guidance of the waiter, Lao Sun came to the door of a private room. The waiter opened the door and politely invited Lao Sun in.
When Lao Sun walked in, the waiter behind him had already left and closed the door.
The spacious private room is magnificently decorated.
In front of a large round table filled with various dishes, a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes sat there, with a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall in front of him.
The middle-aged man held a spoon in his hand and was savoring it carefully. He looked up at Lao Sun, put down the spoon, and smiled: "Shengli, here you go? Sit down."
Lao Sun hesitated for a moment, then sat opposite the middle-aged man: "Yao Weishan, what do you want to ask me to come so late?"
The middle-aged man, Yao Weishan, looked at Lao Sun, his smile did not diminish, and he gently turned the disk on the table: "Try this Australian dragon sashimi, it's fresh."
Lao Sun did not move, glanced at the Olong sashimi that was turned in front of him, then raised his eyelids and continued to stare at Yao Weishan.
"Old Sun, what a victory. How many years have we sat at the same table to eat?" Yao Weishan took out a box of Yellow Crane Tower, took out one and lit it, took out another and threw it to Old Sun.
Lao Sun hesitated for a moment and then ordered it.
"...It's been more than ten years since you went abroad." Lao Sun took a puff of cigarette and said in a complicated tone: "I never thought you would come back."
"Actually, I came back in the second half of last year... Didn't Yang Xiaoyi tell you?" Yao Weishan smiled: "I came back to invest in a project, and I happened to have some dealings with Yang Xiaoyi's unit."
Lao Sun raised his head and stared at Yao Weishan, with fire in his eyes: "Just right? That's really a coincidence!"
"Okay, okay, we have decades of friendship, there is no need to say those empty words." Yao Weishan nodded: "I admit, I deliberately put the project locally. Then I met Xiaoyi."
"So, you also set the trap?" Lao Sun smiled miserably: "You set it up and let Xiaoyi fall into it?"
Yao Weishan flicked the ashes of his cigarette: "What you said is a heartbreaking statement. I just gave Xiaoyi some financial investment advice and let her make a little money."
"Then what?"
"Then, she was very interested, so I helped her open an account in country M for investment." Yao Weishan shook his head: "I didn't expect that she would be so bold and invest so much in it at once. Lao Sun
, the futures market is treacherous and unpredictable. Xiaoyi really lacked consideration!"
Lao Sun said tremblingly: "Is she brave, or are you deliberately setting up a trap!"
After a pause, Lao Sun gritted his teeth and said: "She doesn't understand futures, but you made a fortune with her, gave her a sweet treat, and helped her open an account step by step, leaving her to do it by herself? That's futures!
!The futures market of country M!!”
Yao Weishan said nothing.
"Then, she fell deeper and deeper. Before she finally closed her position, she found that she couldn't bear it any longer and asked you for help again." Lao Sun said in a deep voice: "What about you? How did you 'rescue' her? You used to invest in projects.
The account of the joint venture company allowed her to withdraw hundreds of thousands! Yao Weishan! You did a good job! In the name of a reserve fund, she can pay hundreds of thousands! If you, the boss, don’t sign, she can get the money
Now? Financially speaking, she is the payee, and the reserve fund is taken away with her signature!
What next? She just used the money to close the shortfall in futures...
As soon as the New Year is over, your company suddenly has to audit its accounts?
Which company suddenly needs to do accounting after the New Year???
Are you taking every step and step just to trick her into death?!"
Yao Weishan still said nothing.
"Xiaoyi's temperament is a bit aggressive, but she is not bold enough to do such a stupid thing!" Lao Sun gritted his teeth: "If you hadn't told her at the beginning that you had inside information, it would have been a sure win.
, Does she dare to throw all the money in at once? She...she believes in you. "
Yao Weishan suddenly put out his cigarette and looked at Lao Sun coldly: "Sun Shengli, if there is no evidence, there is no need to say anything."
After a pause, a sneer appeared on his face: "Then why do you think she trusts me so much?"
Now it was Lao Sun's turn to be silent. He gritted his teeth.
"If she had followed me abroad more than ten years ago, things would not be so complicated now." Yao Weishan lit another cigarette for himself.
The two middle-aged men were silent for a while.
Lao Sun said in a deep voice: "Since it was like that back then... why do you want to come back now!"
Yao Weishan sighed slowly: "Jinling...there are people I can't let go of."
Snap!!!
Lao Sun slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Yao Weishan and shouted: "Yao Weishan! Don't be shameless! Xiaoyi is my wife now!!"
Yao Weishan looked at Lao Sun calmly and said slowly: "Do you think I am talking about Xiaoyi?"
"..."
Lao Sun was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something, his expression suddenly changed!
Pointing at Yao Weishan, Lao Sun said in a trembling voice: "You, you... tell me, what did you say... I, I don't understand what you said!"
As he said this, Lao Sun sat down.
A smile like a winner appeared on Yao Weishan's face, and he said slowly: "Look, Old Sun. I told you back then that you were actually a very smart person.
You have a good brain, but as a person, you always have a sense of stupidity and rigidity.
Actually, you already understand. Don’t you?
Or...actually, you may have already thought of it in your mind over the years, but you have never dared to think about it deeply, right?"
"You, please stop talking, stop talking..." There was a hint of weakness and pleading in Lao Sun's eyes: "Stop talking, stop talking!"
"Don't tell?"
Yao Weishan smiled: "How could I not say it? Old Sun! I have been waiting for so long, and I have been waiting for this situation tonight, how could I not say it? You can't escape!"
He picked up a bottle of red wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp.
"The year before last, when I was in country M, a friend from China sent me a photo. Once I saw it, I couldn't let it go anymore. Well, I can't let it go!" Yao Weishan laughed at himself: "What is blood?
Thicker than water? Let me tell you, you have no choice! I have no choice either! Do you think I came back to snatch Xiaoyi from you?? Ha!! I understood a truth more than ten years ago,
If a man wants to succeed, he doesn't have to take women too seriously! With my current status and wealth, will I be short of women in country M?"
"Then why do you want to come back...
"It can't happen. Old Sun, it won't happen if I don't come back!" Yao Weishan smiled bitterly, as if sighing: "I had an illness a few years ago, and after I recovered, the doctor said... I can't give birth there. Hmm
, what is it called in medicine, it is called pathological sperm abnormality.
Now, my gadget works, but it can’t give birth to a baby.”
"Ke, Ke Ke, Ke Ke is my daughter!" Lao Sun tried to resist verbally.
"Your daughter?" Yao Weishan sneered: "Old Sun, look at yourself, and then look at Keke. How does it look like you?" He pointed to his nose: "Look at my face again!"
After a pause, Yao Weishan said slowly: "As soon as I got the photo of Coco, I knew that this was my fucking seed! This is my Yao Weishan's seed! It can't be wrong!"
These words, word by word, were like a hammer, smashing into Lao Sun's heart!
One after another, he smashed it in hard!
The illusory bubble that this middle-aged man had carefully maintained deep in his heart for more than ten years was smashed like glass!
"No, no... Coco is my daughter." Lao Sun lost his mind.
Pictures flashed through my mind like a movie.
During the wedding, the room was full of guests and the happy couple...
After marriage, the two lived an ordinary and happy life, reading in the study, and his wife making tea for him...
When the warm-hearted wife Yang Xiaoyi's belly swelled slightly, she lay on her belly excitedly and listened...
In the delivery room, when the nurse showed the baby wrapped in sheets to her, she looked at a loss and excited...
The child was born with jaundice, so I hugged the child and basked in the sun, humming songs and making her laugh...
When Coco went to elementary school, he tied a red scarf on her, let her sit in the back seat, and sent her to school...
Coco was jumping rubber bands with her classmates downstairs. When she came back from get off work while pushing the car, the child ran over and threw herself into her arms with a happy smile...
Pictures like colorful bubbles seemed to flash before my eyes...
Yao Weishan's cold voice sounded: "I know, you treat mother and daughter as if they were your fate. Xiaoyi got into a big disaster, and seeing that the company was about to settle the account, she panicked. Let me tell you, you didn't even want to touch her.
A finger. The money at home has long been empty. You begged everywhere, risking your grandson’s reputation of being a good person for more than ten years, and begged for hundreds of thousands. But it was not enough! It was too late to sell the house.
You could only find a loan shark and borrow 150,000 yuan. Then you scraped together 300,000 yuan.
But so what? It’s still a point difference.
Lao Sun, you blocked me on the roadside last night, wanting to give me the money first, and wanting me to press this matter down in the company... But do you think I can?"
"You...what on earth do you want to do!!"
"I want Coco!" Yao Weishan said coldly: "I want your daughter... No, I should say, I want my daughter!!"
"Impossible!" Lao Sun's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth: "You are so determined. Coco is my daughter!"
"Hahahahaha! Still not giving up? Do you want me to find someone to do a paternity test for you?" Yao Weishan smiled.
"I don't believe it!! I don't believe your nonsense!!!"
Lao Sun roared feebly like a wild beast that fell into a trap.
Yao Weishan shook his head, stretched out his hand, glanced at the Rolex on his wrist, and sneered: "Okay, then I'll let you die quickly. Well, the time is almost up."
"What time?"
"Tonight, I not only made an appointment with you, but also with Xiaoyi! The three of us, let's make things clear."
Old Sun was stunned.
At this moment, the door opened and Yang Xiaoyi walked in. When she saw Old Sun, she was stunned and her face turned pale on the spot: "Old, Old Sun?"
"Everyone is here, everyone is here! Everyone is here."
Yao Weishan stood up, went up and grabbed Yang Xiaoyi's arm who seemed to want to retreat, pulled her to the table, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, tell me, whose daughter is Coco?"
Yang Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly widened as if she was struck by lightning. She looked at Yao Weishan in horror, her eyes full of hatred: "You, you... you..."
"What am I?" Yao Weishan said with a smile: "I have already told Lao Sun! But he still doesn't believe it! Otherwise, you tell him personally?"
Yang Xiaoyi instinctively wanted to step back. She even wanted to turn around and escape from the room. But her arm was tightly grabbed by Yao Weishan.
She looked at Yao Weishan almost with pleading eyes: "You. Why are you doing this...I, I don't know, I don't know anything..."
Yao Weishan laughed loudly and pulled Yang Xiaoyi and wouldn't let go.
"...let her go." Lao Sun suddenly spoke.
Yao Weishan frowned: "Huh?"
"I said! Let go of my wife!!!"
Lao Sun suddenly jumped up, rushed forward like crazy, opened Yao Weishan's hand, and then pulled his wife behind him!
Lao Sun raised his hand and slapped Yao Weishan on the face, making him stagger.
Yao Weishan received a slap in the face, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared, touched his face, and said in a gloomy voice: "Okay, this slap will be regarded as the fact that you have raised Coco for me for more than ten years.
, I won’t argue with you.”
Lao Sun has ignored him.
He turned around and looked at his wife who was already pale.
As if he wanted to ask something.
But in this situation, it seems... there is no need to ask any more questions.
Lao Sun took a few steps back and sat on the chair.
He touched his pocket, then his trouser pocket, and finally took out a crumpled cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it for himself with trembling fingers.
The first mouthful made Lao Sun choke and cough several times.
Then, his tone was as calm as death.
Speak very slowly, very slowly, very slowly...
"Keke's birthday is March 25th. When she was born, it was less than a month old... Well, I always thought it was less than a month old. Now that I think about it, it turns out that I have been deceived.
She was always sick when she was a child. After Dalbergia recovered, she started vomiting milk and had indigestion. She started to catch a cold when she was one year old. When it snowed, I would carry her to the hospital again and again.
At that time, I always thought, after all, she was born prematurely when she was less than a month old. If her body is weak, I should take good care of her and make up for it.
If I have anything to eat or drink, I will keep it close to my child.
A few years ago, there was a popular bone-building powder, which was said to be good for calcium supplementation for children, so I bought it at home by the bucketful. The amount of cigarettes I smoked went from eight yuan a pack to three yuan a pack.
When Coco was eight years old, we went to her grandmother's house to celebrate the New Year. Among the children of relatives in the room, she had the cheapest clothes. At that time, I was poor, I had just obtained the salary from work, and I didn't save any money.
But I still thought that a girl should be rich and well-off. I gritted my teeth and took out the money I had prepared to give gifts to the leaders and bought my daughter two new clothes for the New Year.
Because of this, my job title transfer was delayed by two years compared to others.
During the housing reform, we couldn't afford the money to buy the house.
For two years in a row, I went out to teach cram schools during the summer vacation... Xiaoyi, you know, I don't like doing this kind of thing.
I am a teacher, a teacher! Teachers should teach students wholeheartedly in class.
That kind of practice is not taught in class but is taught in cram schools...I can't do it.
I have been working for two years, and I almost suffered from heat stroke several times in the summer.
After saving enough money, we bought a renovated house, thinking that you, mother and daughter, could have a stable home. We felt at ease in our hearts and would not be left hanging all the time.
Keke is not good at studying. She is actually not good at studying. She failed in the high school entrance examination.
Originally, with her scores, she could only go to a technical secondary school. I bravely went out and asked someone to apply for a school certificate.
In our school, she was given a place.
I have never shown favoritism in my life. But in this case, I still did it.
Because of this, people poked me in the back quite often, saying that my grandson has been a prude all his life, pretending to others, and always goes out the back door to seek personal gain when it comes to his own affairs... I admit it!
Coco, she is my daughter!"
Having said this, Lao Sun looked at his wife eagerly.
His tone was almost pleading: "Xiaoyi, tell me... Keke, she is my daughter, right? She is my daughter, right?"
"…………"
Yang Xiaoyi's face was pale, her body was trembling, and she looked at the almost desperate middle-aged man in front of her, as if his back was bent.
After a moment, there was a pop!
Yang Xiaoyi knelt on the ground in front of her.
It was quiet for a long time.
"……well……"
Lao Sun let out a long sigh.
It was as if at this moment, a part of his heart died.
