A year and a half later.

In the dimly lit room, only the picture of the TV showed the flickering light. The TV was showing the ribbon-cutting of Xue Lufan and Nanxing, the 30th Dream Primary School funded by the Xue Charity.

The elementary school is located in the mountains near the city of N, and many students walk 20 miles to and from school every day. At present, the primary school has been completed, and it is a modern science and technology primary school.

The figure in front of the TV, looking at Xue Lufan and Nanxing looking at each other and smiling, pinched the canned beer on the table hard, and some unfinished liquid flowed out of the can.

"Knock ......" "Knock knock......"

There was a knock on the old security door, but the figure did not get up, and only when the knock sounded again, did he pull his slippers and walk towards the door.

With a piercing "creak" sound, after the security door opened, it seemed to be dangled by the dazzling sunset outside, and the figure unconsciously raised his left hand and covered it with the back of his hand in front of his eyes.

"...... you, is it Qu Lianou?" A slightly hoarse female voice asked.

Qu Lianou put his hands on the pergola, squinting his eyes and trying to see the appearance of the person who came, but it seemed that the light conversion was too strong, and it took him a long time to see that there was a woman he didn't know at the door.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether you want revenge?"

When the woman said the last two words, she could hear that she was gritting her teeth, and the word "revenge" was almost squeezed out of her teeth.

"Huh...... Revenge, yes, yes, revenge ......" Qu Lianou laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "What can I take revenge like this?" ”

Qu Lianou only wore a loose vest on his upper body, the neckline was already loose, there were yellowish stains on his clothes, and the big black shorts on his lower body were already dirty and shiny. His hair was also messy and seemed to have not been properly taken care of in a long time.

When Feiyue Group expelled Qu Lianou, Yang Chen saw Xue Lufan's dislike for him, in order to please Xue Lufan, and for himself to get more benefits, he teamed up with Qin Hongda to put all the problems on Qu Lianou.

Qu Lianou not only did not get any compensation, but also had to pay a large amount of breach of contract costs. He originally wanted to sell the property and car, so that it would be enough to borrow some more money, but he didn't expect his wife Xiaohui to secretly transfer a lot of family property.

Qu Lianou, who could not pay liquidated damages, was finally sentenced to one year in prison. In the second month after he entered, his wife came to the detention center with a divorce agreement, and after signing it calmly, Qu Lianou learned that because he was sentenced, his only mother had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and had passed away.

After Qu Lianou was released from prison, he wanted to borrow some money from his ex-wife Xiaohui, who was penniless, but everything was already wrong, their former home had been resold, and Xiaohui was nowhere to be found, and Qu Lianou became a loner.

After that, Qu Lianou ran into a wall everywhere when looking for a job, and he could only find a job as an assembly line worker in a factory on the outskirts of Y City, and naturally lived in an urban village near the factory.

The woman took out a box of cigarettes from her bag, handed one to Qu Lianou, and lit another one for herself, she spit out a smoke ring, "I can give you a sum of money, enough for you to change your outfit and rent a car." ”

Qu Lianou looked at the woman from top to bottom and from bottom to top for a long time, and saw that she was wearing a tight hip skirt, and the top was also a tight style, and under the deep V neckline, some of the roundness was about to tear the fabric. Huge sunglasses obscured her face, and only the red lips could be seen.

"The leather and meat business makes money quickly." Qu Lianou whistled and joked: "The sun is coming out in the west today, is this a new trick?" ”

The woman raised her hand and took off her sunglasses, only to see a huge bruise on the edge of her left eye socket. If someone from Yuechuan Group sees it, they will definitely be able to recognize that this woman is none other than the former assistant to the secretary of the board of directors - Liu Yaqing.

"If you're in the mood, I don't take your money." Liu Yaqing curled the corners of her mouth, bypassed Qu Lianou and walked into the house.

With the light outside the door, Liu Yaqing pressed the switch on the wall, but there was no sign of lighting up in the room.

Qu Lianou closed the gate, turned his head and said, "The lamp has been broken for a long time, and it hasn't been repaired if it doesn't need it anyway." ”

"I'm not going around in circles with you anymore. Nanxing is our common enemy, as long as you can take a picture of her being humiliated and give it to me. I can give you fifty thousand dollars. Liu Yaqing took out an envelope from her bag, "This is a deposit of 10,000 yuan." ”

Picking up the envelope and pulling out the money inside, Qu Lianou counted the points, "I want 100,000." Also, you have to give me another 20,000, and the remaining 70,000 yuan, I'll exchange the photos. ”

"Photos aren't worth 100,000 unless you can come up with a video ......"

"Deal." Qu Lianou moved his finger at Liu Yaqing, meaning to ask for the remaining 20,000 yuan.

"I didn't bring that much with me, and I also found you a helper, I'll bring him to meet you tomorrow, and I'll give you money when the time comes."

"Helper? What helper? ”

"You'll know when the time comes." Liu Yaqing got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qu Lianou.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"

"Brother Biao, the head of your land. I'm his lover now, and Brother Biao will beat people when he's happy, and that's what he hit the day before yesterday. Liu Yaqing pointed to the marks on her face, and said with a smile: "If you dare to run, I will tell Brother Biao that you will QJ me, and then I will ......."

Liu Yaqing's words did not continue, but aimed at Qu Lianou's next three roads with her eyes, "Wait at home tomorrow." ”

……

In mid-to-late July, the temperature in Y City stabilized at the level of 378 degrees, and it was humid and muggy. If you don't go outdoors for a while, a layer of sticky sweat will come out of your body.

Xue Lufan drove, Nanxing sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the air conditioner in the car was blowing cold air. The two of them went to the welfare home in the east of the city today.

This welfare home, called the Garden of the Soul, was originally created by the social welfare unit of Y City and has been established for more than ten years. After the establishment of the Xue Charity, it funded the welfare home, and now 80% of the expenses of the entire welfare home are borne by the Xue Charity.

Dean Tan of the welfare home has always wanted to make a larger outdoor activity space for the children. A few years ago, Xue's Charity acquired two plots of land next to the welfare home, one of which was allocated to the welfare home. After the Spring Festival, Xue Lufan and Nanxing went to the welfare home to offer condolences, and together with Dean Tan and the children, they planted some tomato seedlings by the wall.

Last week, Dean Tan sent a message to Nanxing, saying that the tomato seedlings had produced a lot of fruit, and the children were very happy and couldn't wait to share the good news with Xue Lufan and Nanxing. It just so happened that there was nothing important today, so they went to the welfare home. Of course, they didn't go empty-handed, and they also prepared a lot of sweets and snacks, as well as some toys and school supplies.

In the welfare home, I accompanied the children to pick tomatoes and play games, and it was not until dinner that the children reluctantly let the two go. Now the car is still on the highway, and there are about 20 kilometers to the exit after looking at the sign.
