"Alright!" Lu Yiwei took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it in front of Cao Xiaolei. "There's ¥50,000 in here. You can use it as your expenses. I'll give you ¥100,000 as a reward after everything is done, alright?"
When Cao Xiaolei heard how generous Lu Yiwei was, his face immediately bloomed. He grinned from ear to ear and said, "Director Lu, you're too kind. We're all brothers, so why are you talking about money? It's too vulgar to talk about money. There's no such thing between us." After saying that, he picked up the thick envelope and glanced at it greedily.
"Don't stand on ceremony with me. It's yours." Lu Yiwei said.
After talking about business, Lu Yiwei smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, and his stomach couldn't help but growl. Cao Xiaolei smiled. "My wife has one good point. She's great at cooking. If I'm not accompanying the guests all day, I'd be more than willing to go home every day. Haha! Let's go. We must have a drink this afternoon. "Lu Yiwei put the money in his pocket and went to the bedroom to look for alcohol.
After a while, he came out and mumbled. "Damn it. There's no alcohol in the house. Wait here. I'll go buy some!"
Lu Yiwei quickly said. "It's fine. I don't really feel like drinking."
"That won't do!" Cao Xiaolei said while putting on his shoes. "You're my distinguished guest today. I must treat you well. I'll be right back." Lu Yiwei had already walked into the courtyard.
Only Lu Yiwei and Shi Xiaoman were left in the room. After the awkwardness, the atmosphere became tense. Shi Xiaoman was casually cooking in the kitchen, while Lu Yiwei was bored to death as he switched channels back and forth with the remote control. Little did he know that both of them were thinking about the same thing.
Lu Yiwei was deeply in love with his girlfriend, Su Meng. But the things that happened recently forced him to re-examine this relationship. It's not that he wanted to retreat, but he was under too much pressure. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes and jump from one fire pit to another. This kind of marriage with strings attached would push him to the edge of collapse sooner or later, because you would live in someone else's shadow for the rest of your life. If someone else said that he was Lu Yiwei from Nanyang County, they would definitely add that he was Mayor Su's son-in-law. That feeling was no different from a slap in the face. He even imagined how great it would be if Su Meng was the daughter of an ordinary family. But the reality was different. The other party's family was even more superior than his ex-wife's family, and it was even more unfathomable.
It was because of this thought that Lu Yiwei became interested in Shi Xiaoman, who came from a poor family. When he was with her, he didn't have any mental burdens, and he could even find his lost dignity. For a man, this kind of dignity couldn't be exchanged for no matter how much money he had.
Once one begins to dislike something, it is difficult to be interested in it again. Lu Yiwei was the same. He felt that there was a flaw in this marriage, a stain, and he could no longer see the future. He wanted to rely on his own ability to climb up step by step. This was the dignity that a man should have.
Shi Xiaoman's mind was also filled with thoughts. Just now, her husband mocked and mocked her, and the only trace of affection she had for Cao Xiaolei disappeared without a trace. If Cao Xiaolei was only like this, she wouldn't be in complete despair. She felt that sooner or later, Cao Xiaolei would kick her out, and this room would welcome a new mistress. Thinking of this, Shi Xiaoman's heart was bleeding. She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and her vision became blurry. Her tears fell into the pot and melted with the fish in its mouth, leaving the last drop of life-saving straw for the fish.
Just like that, the two of them were lost in their own thoughts, like two railroad tracks that could never intersect, but unexpectedly met at the crossroads of life. Was it a chance encounter of love, or a reunion of love? Love is love, and love is lost. Boiling the rain and burning the zither, burying the snow and breaking the string. Thinking of mist in the clouds, ripples in the water, and the mountain of haze reappears in the wind. Love that can't be touched at the fingertips collides passionately in the soul.
Cao Xiaolei rushed back with two bottles of wine in his arms. When the dishes were served, the two of them drank happily.
As the wine got stronger, Cao Xiaolei asked, "Brother Lu, don't blame your brother for being too talkative. I'm just curious, why did you buy the canning factory? You don't want to work with me and do it alone, right? "
"What are you thinking!" Lu Yiwei said, "I'll definitely tell you when it's done, but not now."
"Alright, since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask anymore. For me, as long as I can make money, I'm willing to do anything!" Cao Xiaolei said with red eyes.
Because Cao Xiaolei's eyes were opened to money, he was in a particularly good mood. He and Lu Yiwei finished the two bottles of wine in no time. Lu Yiwei had a lot on his mind today and was not in his best condition. He drank so much that he hid under the table. Cao Xiaolei, on the other hand, looked like he was on steroids and seemed to be fine. He was worthy of his experience in the wine industry.
Lu Yiwei drank too much and wouldn't wake up for a while. Helpless, Cao Xiaolei could only carry him to the bedroom, gave a few simple words to Shi Xiaoman, and put on his coat to fight for his 100,000 yuan.
Only Shi Xiaoman and Lu Yiwei were left in the room. Shi Xiaoman stood at the bedroom door with a very anxious mood, peeking at Lu Yiwei who was sleeping soundly. She didn't even let go of a single detail, scanning back and forth from head to toe. Seeing his handsome and strong appearance, hearing his even and short breathing, her heart beat faster again. She couldn't wait to rush over and snuggle into his arms to feel his warmth.
However, Shi Xiaoman's legs were like lead, firmly nailed there, unable to move forward or backward. At this time, Lu Yiwei turned over, scaring Shi Xiaoman into quickly retreating, hiding in the bathroom and gasping for air.
After calming down, everything returned to reality. Shi Xiaoman began to blame herself. How could she have come up with such unruly and rebellious thoughts? She looked at the mirror and stroked her still red cheeks, her mood falling to the freezing point.
Everything passed just like that, and Shi Xiaoman didn't think about it anymore. After she cleaned up the kitchen, she went to the bathroom to help Lu Yiwei wash his clothes. After filling the water and adding detergent, she picked up Lu Yiwei's clothes. Her mind began to spin again, and she glanced sideways at her "sweetheart" who was sleeping soundly.
In the middle of Shi Xiaoman washing the clothes, Lu Yiwei suddenly sat up in the bedroom, covered his mouth, and rushed to the bathroom. Without caring about his image, he climbed onto the toilet and began to vomit, scaring Shi Xiaoman.
After vomiting, Lu Yiwei stood up shakily, only to find Shi Xiaoman hiding at the door in a panic.
Lu Yiwei held his head and grinned foolishly. He felt his stomach churning again, and hurriedly lay on the toilet and continued to vomit. Shi Xiaoman didn't know what to do. She stretched out her hand, intending to pat Lu Yiwei's back, but before she could reach him, she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
After his stomach was emptied, Lu Yiwei felt a lot lighter. He stood in the bathroom to wash his hands, wiped his mouth, and stammered, "I … I let you see a joke, I … I lost face."
Shi Xiaoman curled up in the corner, muttering in a low voice, "No … It's okay." Her voice was so soft that even she couldn't hear it.
Lu Yiwei was still drunk. He looked at his watch in a daze, planning to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, the bathroom floor was slippery, and he couldn't keep his balance, so he staggered out and directly pushed Shi Xiaoman, who was standing at the door, to the ground. Shi Xiaoman was even more scared, her eyes closed, and her body trembled.
