Chapter 56: The Mystery of the Decade
Lin Bao took the car keys and handed them in, and several people looked like they had seen ghosts.
How did it get into his hands?
The bald head is a bit old-fashioned, and he seems to understand, these two people are not simple, he wiped the sweat off his head, asked the younger brothers not to move in the car, and took the initiative to get out of the car with Lin Bao.
"Brother, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding, I'm just a subordinate, don't look for trouble today. He took the initiative to hand Lin Bao a cigarette.
Lin Bao didn't smoke and asked politely, "Do you know what my name is?"
"I don't know. ”
"Oh, who told you to come. ”
"I ......" The bald head hesitated, and Lin Bao immediately showed another bank card.
However, it was not a bribe, because when the bald man saw the card, he was already frightened, and he touched his trouser pocket, which was empty...... That's the deposit given by the boss.
"You...... You are a master, you offended today, I took a few younger brothers to eat, it is not easy, be considerate. "The shiny head, beads of sweat, cold sweat on the forehead.
Lin Bao nodded, "I don't embarrass you, if you make it clear, the card will be returned to you, if you don't understand, it's not just that the bank card is missing, it may be more serious." ”
"It's a boss surnamed Wang, who entrusted my boss. ”
"King what?"
"Wang Taichu. ”
"Who?'s too rough?" Lin Bao was confused, he didn't know this person, what are you looking for me?"
"Yes......"
"In this way, when you go back, you will say that you have found the wrong person for this matter, and the card will be returned to you. ”
The bald head nodded again and again: "I know how to explain." ”
The van turned around and ran away, Lao Huang thought Lin Bao was too soft-handed, Lin Bao didn't care, "They all came out to eat together, in fact, even if we didn't know anything, we were really beaten, they didn't dare to beat it too seriously, mainly to scare people." ”
"You didn't ask why I came to you?"
"Oops, forgot. ”
In the afternoon, the two sat in the coffee shop opposite the Internet café for a while, a cup of time is the best coffee shop in the university town, divided into three floors, the first floor is the nature of the western restaurant, the dessert in the store is very famous, the second floor is a private room, suitable for couples to date, and the third floor is a literary and artistic youth place, the decoration is full of literary fan, quiet environment and light music, and there are people here to study and read books.
"This boss is a bit interesting, three floors, covering the public, literature and art, and petty bourgeoisie. ”
"I heard that the boss is a beautiful woman, in order to wait for her boyfriend, opened this coffee shop, and then waited too long, people didn't come back, and the beautiful boss opened it into a national chain, wanting her boyfriend to see it. ”
"It's a story made up, to attract people. ”
Lin Bao saw that the time was almost up, and he was about to leave, and the two of them made an appointment with He Tingting for dinner tonight, but Lao Huang said that he would not go, and he had an appointment temporarily.
"Who? I thought you were bragging. ”
However, it's not bragging, Lao Huang really let the two of them go, "You two eat, you're old friends, I'm not bad this time." ”
"Okay, for your success tonight, I'll give you a poem. ”
"Fuck off. ”
At dusk, He Tingting, who had just moved, found a small shop downstairs, originally planning to cook in person, but Lao Huang didn't come, so the two of them simply had a meal.
He Tingting is still a set of black silk short skirts, slightly coquettish, and the newly moved community is an old-fashioned residential area, compared with the previous apartment building, the environment is much worse, although the retro feeling is not bad, but it is enough to see that it is cheaper here.
In the cheap shop, a few rough men, attracted by the sound of high heels, rarely saw a young and beautiful girl, still dressed so short, and her thoughts were dark, they would think that she worked in a club.
This kind of low-level market environment, but Lin Bao is a little nostalgic, more than 20 years have grown up like this, eating here, some people smoking, some spitting, some people drink and brag, some people cry and cry, this is a corner, but it seems to see the life in the market, joys and sorrows.
He used to sit in such a shop, nibbling on steamed buns and eating free pickles, and the owner of the shop looked at him young, took pity on him, and occasionally gave him a little food.
"Missed?" He Tingting blinked at him, "The three of us, the first time we drank back then, we were also in the same kind of shop, and we were still wearing school uniforms at that time." ”
"I wore it, but you little sister didn't wear it. ”
She smiled, it turned out that Lin Bao remembered, "After drinking, you two got drunk in the Internet café, remember?"
"Well, you drank well, and it was okay at the time, and then you came to the Internet café...... I don't remember, I fell asleep. ”
"I remember. She opened a bottle of beer, knowing that Lin Bao didn't drink it, and she didn't force it.
Childhood playmates, growing up in a similar environment, Lin Bao and He Tingting chat, always have no mustard and pressure, no need to worry about timidity, in He Tingting's eyes, he has no halo, he still regards him as an old friend, and the attitude of his colleagues in the company is completely different, and there is no sense of distance.
The two relaxed reminisced about the past, relaxed and talked about the present, and then talked about the topics that cannot be avoided at this age, marriage and love.
Lin Bao asked her: "You don't look bad, it's not difficult to catch a good one, why do you have to be single all the time." ”
"Money, of course I like it, but you can also see Wang Hai's virtue, a little conditional, I just want to treat a slut like me as a friend, and even cheat the cannon, Li Yuanyuan is so innocent by nature, I can't learn it, this positioning, I'm also embarrassed." She laughed self-deprecatingly and touched her face, "Many people say that I have a second wife, and everyone who sees it thinks that my private life is inappropriate." ”
"Everyone in the world wakes up and I'm drunk, what do those people do with farts, people are in this life, what kind of life do they have to be pointed at by them? I eat soft rice very comfortably, they say what can I do if I have no backbone, I am still very happy." After speaking, he added: "You do look like a junior." ”
"Fuck you!" kicked him in high heels, scaring Wang Hai away On the day that Lao Huang's two younger brothers did misunderstand that she was Lao Huang's concubine, she was born with such a face, she admitted it, over the years, she has not attracted the thoughts of middle-aged married men, and her peach blossom tree is probably crooked.
At this time, her phone rang suddenly, picked it up, chatted a few words, her face became worse and worse, Lin Bao knew that what the phone said might make her feel bad, and she was about to avoid it, when she heard He Tingting suddenly yelling.
"I have no money!
The phone fell on the table, the people around were startled by the yelling, and frequently looked at He Tingting, dressed coquettishly, and had a small temperament.
She took a big sip of wine, and Lin Bao snatched her wine bottle, "Let's catch up today, and it's not for drunkenness." ”
He Tingting smiled bitterly, "Let you see you laugh." ”
"It's okay if you don't want to say it. ”
"My brother, you remember. ”
"Why don't you remember, when I saw him, he was still a seven or eight-year-old child, very bearish child, if it weren't for you being his sister, I would have wanted to beat him. After Lin Bao finished speaking, he asked softly, "He and you want money?"
"Oh, my whole family is asking me for money. ”
From such an exquisite white-collar apartment to the old community, what happened, Lin Bao seemed to guess something, "Is there something at home?"
"My dad was sick and hospitalized, and the two of them had no face to ask me for money, so they urged my brother to find me. After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Bao, "You don't have to help me, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles all his life, dies early and lives early." ”
At this time, the phone rang again, He Tingting hung up angrily, and the mood of eating was also disturbed by the phone.
If she really broke off, she wouldn't be emotionally confused, Lin Bao understood......
He smiled: "Actually, there is one thing, I have never known the truth, the day I dropped out of school, after I went home, I found that there were two hundred more yuan in my schoolbag, I don't know who put it, ten years, unsolved mystery, I thought it was Li Yuanyuan gave it to me, but now when I meet again, she doesn't know anything about the reason for my withdrawal, and she still has some resentment that I said goodbye." ”
"After helping you scare Wang Hai away that day, you secretly put money in my pocket, and I realized that the original two hundred yuan was given to me by you. ”
Two hundred yuan, in the hands of junior high school children in that era, was not a small amount.
"When we played together, you never took advantage of me, and gave me a sum of life-saving money, Tingting, this favor, let me pay you back. He looked calmly.
"Lin Bao......" He Tingting's bitter eyes were moist.
