2405 In the end, it's all about money
“You …”
“Yes, you didn’t hear wrong. I’m the most useless kind of man.” “When we first met …” The middle-aged man said indifferently,”sigh, why would I tell you this?”
“Don’t mind. As long as you don’t mind, just tell me. First of all, we’re strangers. To put it bluntly, we have almost no chance to deal with each other in this life. After you finish this cigarette, we’ll go our separate ways. “
Su Yun said softly. Her fingers moved a few times, and the smoke from the Lingzhi floated to the man’s eyes.
Zheng Ren was stunned. Su Yun’s improvement was really obvious.
The man looked at the smoke in front of him and was slightly dazed. After a few seconds, he smiled and said,””It’s just a story about an ordinary good-for-nothing man. There’s nothing I can’t tell you.”
Su Yun didn’t say anything and just listened quietly.
“I was still young at that time, and I pursued my lover for three whole years. Young, obsessed, thinking that this is the face I’ve been dreaming of, and that getting her means getting the whole world. “
“The world is so big, how can it be covered by one person? But now, it’s too late. “
“One day, more than ten years ago, she suddenly agreed to eat. Our feelings for each other increased rapidly, and I thought that my sincerity had touched her. After that, I got married. A few months later, after the child was born, I realized that I had always been a cuckold. “
“At that time, there was no such thing as” taking over. “Although I was unhappy, she had no choice but to tell me. I’m thinking of turning over a new leaf. Let’s just live a good life, it’s no big deal. “
“As long as I treat the child well, I won’t tell anyone. This is my child.” The man said indifferently.
These few words left Zheng Ren at a loss.
It seemed to make some sense, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn’t make sense.
Before Zheng Ren could think about it, the middle-aged man continued,””But it’s very difficult to live a good life. Soon, she brought old Wang home. She’s strong and I’m humble. I don’t dare to say anything as long as she glared at me. “
“I drank too much that day. I drank too much. I knew what was going to happen, but I didn’t have the courage to resist. By right, I’ve already gotten what I wanted, what else can I ask for?”
“From that day on, every time before I made dinner, I would ask if old Wang would come to my house for dinner.”
“If they do, I’ll make more. We’ll have a couple of drinks tonight. I’ll pretend to drink too much and lie on the sofa to listen to the movements in the house. “
The wind at the end of July was getting colder.
“I’m useless in this life, I can’t succeed or become famous. ‘They married a wife and even stole in front of me … It’s not really stealing, they just look down on me and don’t take me seriously.’ In their eyes, I’m just a handyman, or rather, a prop to deceive people. “
“Bro, I have to give you a piece of advice.” “What are you trying to achieve?” Su Yun flicked the ashes from her cigarette.
“Hehe.” The middle-aged man laughed dryly and sighed. “I’m not a Big Shot, and I don’t have any ambitions. I just want to live a good life. “
“I didn’t even have the courage to resist. Sometimes, when I heard the movements in the house, I really wanted to take a knife and fight them to the death.”
“But I’m too afraid. I’ll just make do with it. There’s no point in risking my life. They truly love each other but can’t be together, so what’s wrong with me fulfilling their wishes?”
“What happened after that?” Su Yun was defeated by the middle-aged man’s logic. He was a little dazed as he looked at him in a daze.
To a person like Su Yun, there were not many things or people that could make him speechless.
He had encountered one today.
“After that …” The man took the last puff of his cigarette and stubbed it out. Then, he took out another one and pointed it at Su Yun.
Su Yun shook her head, indicating that she could not take it anymore.
The man lit another Lingzhi and looked at the smoke. He said coldly,””A month ago, she complained to me that old Wang had slept with her for more than ten years. She even gave birth to her child, but she didn’t want to give her money.”
“In the end, true love is nothing but money.”
“From that day on, I felt like the whole world had changed. Thinking back, it should be because she was beautiful when she was young and had many men by her side, so she had an infinite number of choices. As for me, I’m just a spare tire, and I’m even the type with a big number on the back. “
“She chose me mainly because I’m honest. Besides, my family is in the countryside. After leaving her, I’ll have to go back to my hometown and farm. Not to mention her, I’m the same. I knelt down just like that. “
“From that day onwards, I …” The man paused. He glanced at Su Yun and Zheng Ren, his face still wearing a humble smile. He looked at the Lingzhi in his hand with reluctance and sighed. He carefully snuffed out the cigarette and put the half-smoked cigarette back into the box.
“Two little brothers, let’s stop here.” The middle-aged man stood up.”I’m going home to cook. I’ll send it over to them later.”
“Ah?” Zheng Ren and Su Yun were stunned.
“We still have to get by, don’t we?” The middle-aged man walked out of the smoking room and waved his hand as a farewell.
As she watched his departing figure, she bent her waist slightly, exuding an honest aura. However, Zheng Ren’s heart was getting colder and colder.
Su Yun did not say anything. Although the man did not finish his sentence, Zheng Ren and Su Yun had their own guesses.
A few minutes later, Zheng Ren shook his head and said,””Change your clothes and go to eat with general manager Zhou.”
With that, he walked out.
“Boss, do you think it’s a trap?” Su Yun asked a random question.
“I think it’s very likely.” Zheng Ren said,”but he didn’t say anything. We can only guess. Even if they called the police, they wouldn’t do anything. He didn’t do anything, maybe …”
“Maybe one day, old Wang didn’t go to his house, and he just suggested to buy a magnetic ball. After that, I used words or actions to hint to the child, and that’s how he became like this. “
“I don’t even know how to speak. It might be some kind of physical hint, the kind that will definitely not leave any evidence.”
“No one has evidence. Even the person who bought the magnetic ball was her lover.” The black hair on Su Yun’s forehead fluttered even though there was no wind. She looked in the direction that the man had left.
He could no longer be seen, but Su Yun did not move. Her eyes were fixed on that direction.
“Don’t even think about it. I think it’s too difficult and meaningless to read this kind of person’s mind.”
“Why do you think he’s willing to start a family like this?” Su Yun was at a loss, not as quick-witted as before.
“Maybe it’s for love? Or maybe it was because he didn’t want to go back to his hometown? Who knows?” Zheng Ren sighed.
Today’s incident could be said to be the strangest of all. It was amazing that he could be like a middle-aged man who had just picked out Lingzhi.
