The night sky in Ningyuan is clear and bright.

Zhao Linlin walked alone on the streets of the city.

She bought a bullet train ticket from here to Jiangcheng at 0 o'clock, so she didn't say goodbye in order not to sweep Su Yu's interest, and planned to get on the bus and send another WeChat.

As for why she walked, it was like she went to the outdoor balcony alone to watch the full moon, and she liked the feeling of being alone more and more.

Unconsciously, I came to Ningyuan's pedestrian street.

Although it is still winter, there are not many people who are not afraid of the cold on the pedestrian street, and most of them are young couples, who are holding hands in the pockets of their down jackets, looking energetic and very youthful.

Zhao Linlin was not envious, and took out her mobile phone to take a look at the navigation.

The pedestrian street is not far from the station, but it is at least four stops away.

She was idle, walking and stopping, and soon attracted by a shop along the street, and took a look at an ear bag that was particularly popular when she was a child.

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Zhao Linlin, as if she was on the phone.

She looked back and saw a slightly familiar back, and when she was about to confirm, the shopkeeper said, "Why, didn't give money." ”

Zhao Linlin looked back in amazement, quickly swept a yard, and then chased out with an earbag.

The end of the pedestrian street was not far away, and she saw the familiar back in the driveway getting into a taxi, and she didn't have time to shout, so she had to take out her mobile phone and dial Gu Yande's number.

......

......

In the taxi, Gu Yande didn't know that he had just passed by his wife.

Seeing Zhao Linlin's number, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to answer.

"Where are you?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Yande's answer was cold and emotionless.

Man is such a creature.

It is easy to go from poor to rich, but it will be very painful to live from rich to poor.

Gu Yande is obviously the second type now, and he is in the process of turning from rich to poor, which is very difficult for him to accept.

It is also because of this unacceptability that after the failure of venture capital, he repeatedly put his family foundation into it, hoping to come back to life.

It's just that the reality is always cold, and there is no sign of resurrection, but he owes a lot of debt.

It is roughly estimated that if he continues to work, he will not be able to finish it for thirty years, so he is left with a desperate gamble on the road to Huashan.

After the so-called friends and relatives around him have been far away from him, Gu Yande, who has no choice, chose to ask his wife Zhao Linlin for help.

But Zhao Linlin had no money, and his plea was to let Zhao Linlin borrow a sum of money from her ex-Shenhao ex-boyfriend in her name.

He believed that Zhang Xiaojian, who went out on a charter flight, casually accompanied the wedding with 2 million, was not bad for this little money, and in fact it was indeed not bad, but Zhao Linlin rejected him again and again.

No matter what method is used, even if she kneels, Zhao Linlin is indifferent.

So after a few quarrels, there was originally a little bit of husband and wife relationship.

So now the conversation is very cold, and why do you have to pick it up, of course, I hope that Zhao Linlin can change her mind and decide to help him.

But in fact, not only in the eyes of Zhao Linlin, but also in the eyes of Gu Yande's former colleagues and friends, he is now close to terminal illness and has become more and more unreasonable.

This kind of unreasonableness comes from Gu Yande's obsession and appeal for success.

He believes he can still succeed.

He firmly believes that he will be able to turn the tide, but he must hold on to the last straw.

Therefore, after a cold sentence, Gu Yande said again: "Linlin, I beg you, can you help me." ”

The only answer given to him was a cold blind voice.

Zhao Linlin hung up the phone.

Holding the mobile phone, which was still a little cold, Gu Yande did not call back, but began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Because he will see Zhang Xiaojian soon.

He needs to use his eloquence and conditions to convince Zhang Xiaojian.

————

The taxi came to the front of a luxury hotel.

Gu Yande got out of the car and soon met Li Yuan, who was not a friend before, but after coming to Ningyuan, the only friend who was willing to help him.

Li Yuan is not very old and works as a manager in an import and export company.

In the past, the two sides had some business dealings, Li Yuan's generation was small, and the company behind him was also small, so he had never entered Gu Yande's eyes.

This time, when Gu Yande was looking for someone to ask for help in the world, he stood up.

So when the two met, they immediately became acquainted, as close as growing up together in a pair of pants.

"Today you also know that Gao Qingsong got married, and Brother Xiaojian didn't have time to see you, if I hadn't worn out my mouth, I punished myself with two bottles of beer..."

When you go out to do errands, you have to come and go, Gu Yande is of course a reasonable person in this regard, so he handed out an envelope.

Li Yuan took the envelope and pinched it, his expression was a little unpleasant, because it was too thin.

Gu Yande patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's done, Brother Gu will give you another big one, it's really difficult now." ”

Li Yuan smiled: "Okay, let's go." ”

Gu Yande asked, "You didn't mention me to Zhang Xiaojian, did you?"

"Didn't you tell me not to mention you?"

"It's okay if you don't mention it, it's okay if you don't mention it. Gu Yande relieved his heart.

Judging from his last contact with Zhang Xiaojian, he understood that once Zhang Xiaojian knew that it was Zhao Linlin's husband, he would probably not even see him, so he specially instructed Li Yuan before doing things.

The two of them walked into the luxury hotel as they spoke.

In the hotel's non-external KTV luxury bag, the lights are dim and the table is full of drinks.

There were a dozen young people sitting on the sofa, some singing, some playing with a sieve, and some touching the girl's thigh.

After Gu Yande walked in, the singing stopped, everyone looked at him, and he quickly crossed the people in front of him with his gaze, and finally fixed his gaze in the middle.

"Hello, Zhang Xiaojian. ”

The young man in the middle stood up and stretched out his hand, his tone was gentle, and his expression was modest, but it seemed that because he had drunk a lot of wine, his eyes were a little misty, and his face and neck were red.

Gu Yande was stunned, he subconsciously shook hands with the young man first, his eyes fixed on the young man's face, as if confirming something.

He and Zhang Xiaojian have only met once, and his memory is already a little blurry.

The young man in front of him matched the characteristics of Zhang Xiaojian in his memory, because his eyebrows were like swords, but... How did he remember that Zhang Xiaojian's eyes were not big, and the young man in front of him had big eyes and double eyelids.

"I'm Gu Yande..."

After saying his name, he looked at Zhang Xiaojian's expression, and there was no change.

At this time, Zhang Xiaojian said: "Mr. Gu, what are you looking for me?"

It was impossible for Gu Yande to say what he meant as soon as he opened his mouth, although he felt that Zhang Xiaojian in front of him didn't seem to be able to say anything strange, but after all, one of his feet was now hanging outside the cliff.

So he smiled and said, "Inside, have you seen Linlin in the past two days?"

This is a due politeness, and it is even one of the conditions that Gu Yande thought of before he came, but Zhang Xiaojian frowned: "Linlin?

didn't want to mention the word husband, Gu Yande said: "You are really a noble person, and I also gave you a business card." ”

Zhang Xiaojian: "Oh.... Can't remember."

At this time, another young man sitting next to him said: "Mr. Gu, you have something to say, Brother Xiaojian doesn't know how many girls named Linlin sleep with in a month, how can you remember which one you are talking about." ”

Gu Yande: "......"

Zhang Xiaojian still has this kind of habit?

You are special, as Zhao Linlin's husband, he naturally has an evil fire in his heart.

But soon reason overcame sensibility, and his maturity played a role again, and he quickly felt that this was also normal, and it was good news, after all, Zhang Xiaojian followed Zhao Linlin for two million at the wedding, since there is still this habit, it shows that Zhao Linlin is still missing.

So there's really something to talk about, it's just...

After all, Gu Yande is an old fritter in society, and he thought about it again, if Zhang Xiaojian really likes Zhao Linlin, how could his friends talk like this in front of him?

So he asked, "Is the second aunt okay?"

Zhang Xiaojian frowned and didn't speak again, as if he had realized something.

But his friends had obviously forgotten something under the influence of alcohol, and the young man sitting next to him laughed again: "Can you get down to business, second aunt and who's bustard?"

Gu Yande looked at Zhang Xiaojian, saw that his expression had not changed, and was sure that the young man in front of him was not Zhang Xiaojian, because no one would listen to his friends say that his mother was an old bustard and there was no reaction...

Gu Yande glanced at Li Yuan, then looked back at Zhang Xiaojian and said, "Hehe, it's actually nothing, I just want to come and say hello to you, you play, you play." ”

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

At this time, Brother Xiaojian seemed to have figured out something, and immediately said, "Don't let him go." ”

Two young men blocked the gate as soon as he gave the order.

Gu Yande turned around stiffly: "Brother Xiaojian, what is this?"

"If you say you will see it, if you say you don't see it, you will not see it?"

Zhang Xiaojian picked up a wine bottle, and hammered it on Gu Yande's head.

Gu Yande's eyes turned white, and a broken sound came from his ears, and he fell to the ground crookedly, losing consciousness.

———

I don't know how long it took, Gu Yande woke up with a splitting headache, first touched his forehead, and felt a bright red.

There was a sharp pain in his limbs, and it was clear that he had passed out and had been punched and kicked.

He trembled and supported his body, sadness came from his heart, and a song "Too Wronged" with only accompaniment and no vocals was playing in the KTV private room.

He didn't sing, but he was really more and more aggrieved.

Wronged to the point that a drop of blood flowed into the corner of his eye, he turned around again, and tears rolled down his cheeks because of the pain.

———

At this time, Zhang Xiaojian, who was in the spacious box of the Stellar Hotel, was stepping on the beer box with one foot, leading the beer bottle with one hand, and shouted proudly: "Who else!"

The momentum is good, but his face is pale and his eyes are blurred.

After his three words, more than thirty sensible and sober hands were raised on the table in the private room.....

Ye Mozhu looked at these people who came from the family group and had a deep grudge against Zhang Xiaojian, first pulled Zhang Xiaojian down, then picked up the wine bottle with a smile, bit off the cap with his teeth, and stepped on the beer box with one foot: "Come to the old lady!"
