Chapter 6: Speechless

Wu Yao hadn't contacted me since that night, it was like he had evaporated from the world again.

Li Man was also like a great enemy in those days, looking at the door of the store every day, for fear that Wu Yao would come back to "bully" me. It really touched me to see Li Man treat me so sincerely.

The wallet that Wu Yao threw at me was full of US dollars, and it was bulging. Let someone like me, who has never even been in the country in my life, hold such a "luxury" wallet... How embarrassing...

If it's my "customer's" money, I don't know how to squander it, but I can squander it on just this wallet, even if it's a vault. But this... I don't want to move, I just want to give it back to him...

"Whose wallet is this?" When I took my wallet out of my bag and put it at the cash register, Li Man's eyes immediately stared.

"Wu Yao's, I originally wanted to tease him, who knew that he really gave me his wallet." Looking at the leather purse, I shrugged my shoulders and laughed at myself.

"Throw it away! You touch this disgusting thing too. With that, Li Man took the wallet on the table and threw it out the door.

She moved really fast, and as soon as I reacted, I looked up and saw that the purse was already lying on the sidewalk, and it was rolling on the ground a few times and getting some dust.

"Don't, although I annoy him, but the money is innocent!" I hurried towards the door, slowing down a little bit and not knowing that I would be picked up by the unqualified passer-by.

"You forgave him?" Li Man walked out slowly, his tone much calmer.

"No, it's been so long, what else to mention..."I didn't look at her, just gently wiped the dust stuck to my wallet, and then turned back to the store.

"I'd better wait for him to come and get it when he comes." I put my wallet in the drawer at the cash register, and the moment I closed the drawer, all I saw was the faint silver light reflected by the metal buttons on the cowhide wallet...

My life went on, untouched by that meeting, and the wallet was still in the drawer of the cash register untouched.

The bright nightlife is still the "stage" for me to make money every day, going back and forth in different bars, in and out of different grades of hotels and guesthouses, often coming and going to these Fengyue places, it is inevitable that I will also know some "peers".

"Li Rui, the person who looked for you last time missed you, and he asked you to go over today, will you go?" In the midst of the noisy DJ music in the bar, I received a call from Xu Shaohui, who was my colleague, of course, he didn't do 0, only 1. Although we haven't done it before, we are good friends, and he often helps me find "business".

"Where are you waiting for me?"

"It's still the same old place."

The "old place" was a high-end hotel that people like us used to go to at that time, and we usually went there if we had business.

Hearing that there was no need to seduce customers in the bar anymore with business tonight, I hurried out the back door of the bar. The quiet alley outside the bar contrasts with the bustle inside, it's not too late, and the photos of the various businesses on the roadside are flashing with various neon lights. I walked briskly to the old place to receive my first customer of the evening...

When I stood at the elevator door and waited for the elevator, I habitually took out my mobile phone to play QQ. "Ding~" The elevator door opened, I didn't look up, I still stared at the phone intently, just took a slow step.

"Rui Rui?" A familiar voice called my name, "You... Why are you here? "I looked up and saw that it was Wu Yao... He looked at me in surprise, as if I had surprised him by being in such an upscale hotel.

"There's business, so it's here." I just replied blandly and continued to hold on to my phone.

"Didn't I give you money? How can you still find someone! His tone seemed a little puzzled, but more anger could be heard in his words.

"Oh, I didn't touch your money. By the way, go to the store tomorrow and get your wallet. "I stepped into the elevator, pressed the floor and continued to look at my phone, without looking at him the whole time.

We fell into silence again, and he stood motionless beside me as if frozen, looking at me with pity in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" I asked him this politely, and his face changed for the better as if he had heard the decree.

"Oh, I was just talking to a client about business, and I'm ready to go."

"Then hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to get up." I was afraid that he would think that I cared about him, so I quickly ended the conversation. It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just that I have no feelings for him now, no hatred and no love, I just don't want him to waste energy and time on me.

My words were like a sharp knife stabbing him in the chest, and he was at a loss, just gently flipped the document bag in his hand, smiled at me, said "goodbye", and walked out of the elevator. That smile looks so reluctant, so stiff, since you don't want to laugh, why pretend to smile?

When the elevator closed, I saw through the crevice in the door that was getting smaller that he was still standing in the doorway, looking at me in the elevator. At the moment when the door closed, our eyes met for a moment...
