Chapter 108: Prologue to the Turmoil (41)

Zhang Tongtong also drank a bottle of beer in one go, "Because falling in love with a man is a completely different feeling, and I will expect more...... You didn't do anything wrong, it's all my own fault......"

Louis looked at the full beer in his hand and really admired these people who drank well.

Zhang Tongtong glanced at Sun Tingting, she and Sun Tingting are indeed quite good-tempered, so there are so many people I know, only the two of them still maintain each other, and they encourage each other. There are only two of them, who belong to a separate small circle.

Sun Tingting took the initiative to sit close to Wang Lei, so that Louis could only lean back.

She patted Wang Lei on the shoulder, as if to comfort him. "You're a good man, and I like you a lot. But you can't blame Tingting for this matter today......"

"I remember you were pickier on men than I was, and now you're obsessed?" Zhang Tingting then asked.

Sun Tingting sat back in place, "It's not fascinating, I'm already strong, and I think about that aspect more openly, in line with foreign standards, as long as I see you pleasing to the eye, you can make me happy, what's the big deal about sleeping." "She's used to it.

Louis listened quietly on the side, he was also quite sympathetic to these two women, but Wang Lei is also a man after all, and no one is uncomfortable when this kind of thing happens, and it is really difficult to summarize who is right and who is wrong in a simple sentence.

"Let's get a divorce!" After careful consideration, Wang Lei finally made this decision.

Zhang Tongtong seemed to have expected this day, she walked into the bedroom and pulled out a pre-drafted divorce agreement from the drawer inside.

"Are you ready to divorce me a long time ago?" Wang Lei asked.

"I just prepared for the worst." Zhang Tongtong sighed, she had always hoped that this day would come later, but when this day came, she felt inexplicably depressed in her heart.

Wang Lei was also very simple, directly gave all his property to Zhang Tongtong, and went out of the house by himself.

Zhang Tongtong and Sun Tingting glanced at each other, neither of them expected that Wang Lei would choose to leave the house.

But Louis understands that Wang Lei's remaining days are numbered, and he originally worked day and night just to make money to buy a necklace for Zhang Tongtong? Now, he also looks down on it, and it is useless for him to ask for money, and in the end, he can't bring it to the underworld.

When a man loves a woman to this extent, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Some people may think that Wang Lei is stupid, but only he is the party who knows the same as Spiegel in his heart.

Wang Lei took off the wedding ring on his hand and put it on the coffee table, and after signing the divorce agreement, this wedding ring has no meaning, and even the value of memories is gone.

Before you know it, the sky is getting brighter. When the first rays of the morning sun shine in, the clock shows exactly six o'clock in the morning.

Wang Lei drove Louis towards the city prison, today is the day He Mantang is released from prison, and the two of them are going to pick him up.

The whole distance is not close, even if you drive for an hour.

Louis sat in the passenger seat, turned his face to look at the fading scenery outside the window, Wang Lei is very dull now, it is better to let him be quiet for a while at this time.

At this time, Louie's phone rang, and it was still the familiar ringtone, "Your Majesty, the second dog asks to see ......"

The caller is Uncle Wang Dalong, and Louis doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Nephew, why did you go this night, my uncle is worried about death." Wang Dalong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Louis opened the window of the car to breathe in the fresh air, "Uncle, I still have something to do here, I'll go back when I'm done, Xiaoyu has troubled you in the past two days." ”

"Hey, hey, that's easy to say. By the way, uncle, I calculated a hexagram for you today, good luck is the head, good luck, there will be fortune, but the safety factor is a little low......"

Hearing this, Louis pursed his lips, he was really not in the mood to discuss fortune-telling with him now.

I hung up the phone and looked up at the sky, the weather was unpredictable, and it was raining lightly for a while.

The drizzle is hazy, and the inky clouds overlap on top of each other, just like the delicate daffodils in full bloom on rice paper, but with a subtle melancholy. The air is filled with water vapor, dotted with the blur of dreams.

The taxi is running through the rain and fog, and a D is playing on a loop, which is an album by singer Kim Nam-ryeong, and the whole D has only three songs.

From "The Afterlife" to "Stop Talking", and then to the song "Flowing Backwards", the simple lyrics and simple melody sucked all Louie's emotions into it at once.

What the mottled night is saying

Can anyone tell me how to choose

Losing you is also a gain

It's okay to be alone

Whenever I toss and turn late at night

Sorrow flows backwards

……

Cycling the faint and sad "Against the Current", Louis may be able to understand some of the pain in Wang Lei's heart.

From the iron gate of the second prison area of the city prison to the real prison gate, there is a sealed passage of more than 100 meters, and this section of the road He Mantang walked very slowly.

Every step of this is a heavy reflection for He Mantang.

After a few years in prison, the heroic and promising young man has now become somewhat mature and stable.

The world is changing rapidly, everything is changing with each passing day, can he still keep up with the pace of society after being released from prison? In this regard, He Mantang is not ready.

At that time, his ambitions had long been smoothed out, and he was full of anxiety about the future.

The prison gates were open, and it was raining lightly outside.

The raindrops are not very big but very fine, and the white expanse makes it difficult to see things in the distance.

"Don't come in again when you get out of this door." The old prison guard who sent He Mantang out patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and went in.

Standing at the gate of the prison, He Mantang was at a loss.

Wang Lei and Louis drove in a taxi and stopped outside the yellow line at the prison gate, about 30 meters away from He Mantang.

Wang Lei and Louis got out of the car, neither of them had an umbrella, and looked at He Mantang in front of them with a smile.

"It's full, the road is a little blocked, it's a little late!" Wang Lei calmed down his previous unhappiness and beckoned to He Mantang.

Louis also waved his hand, feeling that He Mantang had lost some weight, it seemed that the years of imprisonment were not comfortable.

The three of them hugged warmly, "Thank you for coming, good buddy!" He Mantang sighed a little, there are not many people who are willing to contact him over the years, and sure enough, no matter what the reason for being imprisoned, most of the relatives and friends in the early years will break off the relationship and no one can afford it.

The three of them got into the car, and Wang Lei drove towards He Mantang's home.

Two years ago, He Mantang's mother who took He Mantang alone died, which was also He Mantang's heart-wrenching remorse, and he didn't even see his mother for the last time. Now He Mantang's home has been empty for two years, and he has long since lost the feeling of home.

Sure enough, a few years have passed in a hurry, and the outside world has long been a matter of people......

Louie's relationship with He Mantang is far less close than that between Wang Lei and He Mantang. Both of them graduated from junior high school, and after graduation, they stepped into society and went their separate ways.

Most of the students in primary school are from a village, and in junior high school, most of the classmates are from the surrounding towns, and the high school classmates are more extensive, perhaps from three districts and nine counties, but when they come to university, they come from all over the country. Education and life experience have created differences in interpersonal relationships, and Zhuang Feng is deeply touched by the fact that he has had little contact with his junior high school classmates over the years...... Now the relationship with He Mantang is far less close than it was in junior high school.

"Mantang, now that it's out, what are you thinking?" Louie asked.

He Mantang took a deep breath, "Oh, now I am homesick, I am really homesick, I want to go back to see the familiar home before and sweep my mother's grave." I want to mix noodles with scallion oil, fried steamed buns, and if I have the chance, I really want to go out and shop......"

"Wang Lei, is Miaoke okay now?" He Mantang has always been worried about his girlfriend Lin Xiaolan, and it was for her that he went to prison back then. In the past, the two of them had vowed to stay together for the rest of their lives, and I don't know how she is doing now.

At the mention of Lin Xiaolan, Wang Lei's brows furrowed. "Little Blue She, she's getting married......"

"What?" He Mantang roared angrily, he even suspected that he had heard it wrong, the woman he once loved the most was actually going to marry someone else...... He was working hard in prison, and the belief that supported him in prison every day was Lin Xiaolan, but now he ......

"Mantang, don't get excited, after all, you have been in prison for so many years, Xiaolan is now twenty-seven years old, even if she is willing to wait for you, the family will not agree......" Louis wanted to calm He Mantang's excitement at this time.

He Mantang looked out the window, and there was a feeling of worry in his heart. "Home...... Hehe, yes, she still has a home, but I don't have a home. I was in prison for her back then, and my family is already ruined by now. I'm never going to have a home in my life......"

Wang Lei said, "Don't talk nonsense, we should still look at the ......"

"Alright, change the subject. Go to my house tonight to eat, I'll make dumplings for you, leek stuffing!" Louis took out his mobile phone and prepared to call his uncle and ask him to buy good food and have dinner together in the evening.

He Mantang glanced at Louie, "Do you know that I am allergic to leeks and still have leek filling?" ”

"Hahaha, I'm teasing you!" Louie's joke seemed to have eased the atmosphere a bit.

At this time, a large truck that was out of control rushed towards them, and their taxi suffered a huge blow in an instant.

Louis only felt a darkness in front of him, and then he didn't know it......

Louie, who came to his senses, picked up the clothes on the ground, but fortunately the two hundred dollars in cash in his pocket were not lost.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. After hearing the voice, Zhuang Feng knew that it was He Mantang and Wang Da.

When I passed through the door, I realized that the clock showed that the time was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

"Louie, how was your rest last night?" Wang Da asked as he touched his flushed face, obviously the drunkenness had not yet disappeared.

"I don't know how I got here. Can any of you tell me about it? ”

He Mantang replied, "I also forgot, I drank broken tablets last night, and when I woke up, I still slept in the same bed with Wang Da." ”

Wang Da smiled and said, "Hey, don't worry about this, the full house has already settled the account, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch up later." ”

Louis was dragged out of the hotel by Li Hua and got into a taxi.

"Mantang, where are we going?" Louis put on his shirt shirtless and shirtless.

"Go to Lin Xiaolan's wedding banquet. Today is her wedding day, and I would like to give her a gift to wish her happiness. Otherwise, I still can't let go of this hurdle in my heart. He Mantang sighed.

Fifty minutes later, they came to the wedding banquet scene of Xibao Hotel.

When I came to the hall, the front desk was entertaining the guests and collecting gift money.

He Mantang hurriedly pulled Louie and Wang Da over, forgetting the big matter of withdrawing money, so he asked Louie and Wang Da to borrow it.

Louis still had two hundred yuan on him, and Wang Da took out fifty, and the two of them added up to just two hundred and fifty yuan.

After simply paying the gift money, He Mantang couldn't wait to run towards the hall inside.

"Sir, who is this signature?"

Wang Da directly left a sentence: "Just write about the bride's ex-boyfriend." After speaking, Wang Da pulled Louis to chase after He Mantang.

At this time, the groom and the bride stood in the hall to receive the blessings of relatives and friends, and Lin Xiaolan's face was filled with happiness.

"Full, full ......house" The bride Lin Xiaolan was a little surprised, she didn't expect to see her ex-boyfriend at her wedding scene.

Lin Xiaolan's eyes lit up, He Lao Liu's eyes were green, and the groom's eyes were always rolling their eyelids.

"Xiaolan, who is this?" The bridegroom asked a little confused.

"This is my classmate, and he is here to congratulate us." A hint of danger flashed in Lin Xiaolan's eyes, she didn't want to have anything to do with He Mantang anymore.

"I wish you both happiness and happiness, and ......grow old together," He Mantang said these words very bluntly, stammering for the first time in his life.

As soon as the words fell, He Mantang left with Louis and Wang Da with an iron face. After coming and going but staying in the wedding hall for a few minutes, Wang Da couldn't figure out what He Mantang was thinking in his head.

Louis still remembers that He Mantang once said that Lin Xiaolan Mantang is the woman he loves the most in his life, and it is very simple to love someone, as long as she can be happy. He Mantang came to the wedding scene today, just to witness with his own eyes whether Lin Xiaolan found her happy home.

The groom's family has a four-star hotel, which can be regarded as relatively wealthy, Lin Xiaolan at least does not have to live a hard life with He Mantang worrying about the next meal. All this is Lin Xiaolan's choice, and He Mantang respects her choice.

Out of the hotel, the three of them were temporarily separated. He Mantang wants to go home to keep filial piety for his mother, Wang Da also wants to go back to his pet store to open, and Louis takes a taxi to Zhibo Primary School. Today is Friday, and school can be dismissed at 2 p.m. If you think about it, it's been a long time since I've seen Cousin Lori.

There are a lot of people standing at the entrance of Zhibo Primary School, which is even more lively than the market. And there are expensive cars of various brands parked on the side of the road, and the owners are either glamorous young women or tycoons in suits and leather shoes, and they are about to catch up with their parents when they pick up their children from school.
