Two days later, the Songshan City Public Security Bureau announced the results of the investigation into the O 'Neal Hotel gambling incident: Taolin County Public Security Bureau was ordered to criticize He Ying and Huang Chong; Huang Lang and the other leaders who organized the attack on the police would be prosecuted; Li Weijun and the others would not be held accountable due to insufficient evidence for gambling …
The investigation results were announced on a Friday. When Lu Tao heard the results from He Ying's phone call, he was so angry that he almost threw his phone away.
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, Lu Tao rushed back to the county and knocked on He Ying's door.
As he expected, He Ying didn't go to work in the afternoon. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had cried for a long time.
Lu Tao said with a bit of heartache, "Sister Ying, it's already like this. Don't be too angry and sad. Good and evil will be repaid in the end. Li Xuzhong, Li Weijun and the others are rotten to the core. Sooner or later, they will be severely punished by the law. You just have to be patient and wait! "
He Ying lowered her head and didn't answer. She bent down to find a pair of slippers for Lu Tao, then turned and walked into the living room. She sat on the sofa without saying a word and stared at the unturned TV.
Lu Tao knew that she was depressed and wanted to lighten the mood, so he smiled and asked, "Sister Ying, we agreed that we would cook together on the weekends. You'll be in charge of buying ingredients and cooking, and I'll be in charge of cleaning up. Today is Friday, have you finished buying ingredients? I'm going to show off my cooking skills. "
He Ying looked up and glared at him, "You're still smiling at this time. Are you trying to make me angry? If you're hungry, go to the fridge and find ingredients. Eat whatever you have. I'm not in the mood to buy ingredients, and I don't want to eat. I'm full from anger! "
Lu Tao said seriously, "Sister Ying, people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. You can't sulk with an empty stomach! Being angry will only make your stomach bloated. You can't be full. If you're hungry, Li Xuzhong and the others will die of laughter. As your brother, I'll be heartbroken. Why do you have to do something so stupid? "
When He Ying heard the words "being angry will only make your stomach bloated, you can't be full", she laughed out loud and rolled her eyes at Lu Tao, "Heartless little bastard! If you continue to be so glib, I'll pull out your tongue! "
Then, she stood up from the sofa and said to Lu Tao in a commanding tone, "I'm going to the kitchen to wash the vegetables. You go to the supermarket in the neighborhood and buy a few bottles of red wine. I want to drink tonight. If I don't drink some wine, the anger in my heart will not be appeased!"
Lu Tao saw that she had just been amused by him, and he was very happy in his heart. He smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then, he excitedly went downstairs to buy wine.
While He Ying was washing the vegetables in the kitchen, Lu Tao's words kept echoing in her ears, "If you're hungry, Li Xuzhong and the others will definitely laugh to death, but this little brother of mine will die of heartache." Although she knew that he was joking with her, she still felt a little heartache. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but overflow with a sweet smile. Her fair face seemed to be stained with rouge, and gradually a faint blush appeared on her face …
Just as she was carefully thinking about Lu Tao's words, her phone rang at an untimely time. Looking at the caller ID, she saw that it was Zhou Youliang calling.
After the call went through, Zhou Youliang said that tonight was the weekend, and he wanted to invite Li Tao and Su Lishu to come over to play mahjong. He asked if she had time to play with him.
He Ying wanted to say yes, but suddenly, Lu Tao's figure appeared in her mind. She hesitated for a moment and replied, "Uncle, I'm not in a good mood tonight. I want to be alone. Let's meet again next time!"
Zhou Youliang guessed that she was in a bad mood because of the investigation report. He said very understandingly, "Okay, since you're not in a good mood, let's play together next week!"
Lu Tao bought six bottles of red wine and came back. After putting them on the table, he walked into the kitchen and quickly cut and stir-fried the vegetables. In just half an hour, he made a farmer's stir-fried pork, a vinegar fish soup soup, a green onion omelet, and a garlic water spinach. He then brought them to the table. He Ying couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste each dish. There was a satisfied smile on her face.
Lu Tao knew that He Ying wanted to get drunk tonight, so he opened two bottles of red wine and put one in front of each of them. He said to He Ying with a smile, "Sister Ying, tonight we'll do the drinking and take responsibility. We'll drink bottle by bottle. In the end, we'll compete to see who can drink more. The loser will be responsible for cleaning the dishes. What do you think?"
He Ying rolled her eyes at him, "Can't you be a gentleman? How can a man compete with a woman in drinking? I can take responsibility for drinking, but I promise to drink with you until the end. I won't compete with you in drinking. Whether you drink more or I drink more, you have to be responsible for cleaning the dishes in the end. "
Lu Tao had to nod with a wry smile and agree to her overbearing "drinking agreement."
Perhaps He Ying wanted to get herself drunk on purpose. She no longer had the elegant manner of sipping wine like last time. Every time she picked up a glass, she would finish it in one gulp. Moreover, she would pour half a glass of wine every time. In less than ten minutes, she had finished two bottles of wine.
Lu Tao saw that she drank too fast and hurriedly advised, "Sister Ying, it's easy to get drunk if you drink too fast. Can we drink slower? Red wine must be tasted slowly and can't be swallowed. If we drink one glass at a time, it'll be like farmers drinking water when they're thirsty. Wouldn't it be a waste of these bottles of good wine? "
At this time, He Ying's eyes were slightly red and her cheeks were red. She was about fifty to sixty percent drunk. Hearing Lu Tao's advice, she opened the third bottle of wine in front of her and filled the wine glass. She picked up the glass and drank it in a fit of pique. Then she showed the empty glass in front of Lu Tao and said in a provocative tone, "This is my third bottle of wine. You haven't finished two bottles. Are you still a man? Hurry up and fill the glass. Drink one glass at a time like me. After you finish, go down and buy more wine. Today I must drink to my heart's content! "
Seeing that Lu Tao didn't respond to her words, He Ying reached out to grab the wine bottle in front of him and wanted to fill his glass.
Lu Tao hurriedly grabbed her wrist and suddenly asked, "Sister Ying, I want to take the liberty to ask, are you disappointed in Secretary Zhou? When you went to the O 'Neal Hotel to catch the gambling, you suffered a lot of grievances. Li Xuzhong and Li Weijun are clearly corrupt people, but Secretary Zhou didn't order them to be severely punished. He only let you be exempted from further punishment. Do you feel very sullen and sad? "
