Chapter 140: Warning
Is everything I thought? I thought he loved me, thought I was his best choice, thought he would compromise everything for me.
The door closed silently behind me, and I waited two seconds, mentally counting one, two, longing to hear the sound of the door latch turning softly and the machine inside silently snapping.
But when you count to ten, there is no sound inside. I suddenly felt that coming to their house for the Chinese New Year was a very stupid and impulsive decision, and I wanted to go home. Right now. Tears almost fell out of his eyes. It's not my home yet, and probably never will be. It's huge, but there's no place for me. Why should I come?
But I didn't dare to go downstairs, I was afraid of the inquiring eyes of several old people, especially my mother, and I didn't know how to explain it to her. I began to hate Zhang Ruolei, what a complex and changeable creature people are, the two people who loved each other so much the day before that they hated each other for less than 24 hours, and the two of them were tense.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a soft knock on the door behind him. Zhang Ruolei came out and dragged me back to the same place. I struggled to break free of his embrace, but his hands were gripping me like pincers.
"What are you doing?"
I growled, and he turned back and closed the door shut.
"I'm investigating Xiao Han."
I turned my head, and the sadness in my eyes froze instantly.
"I don't want you to know."
He said.
"When did it start?"
I walked over and sat next to him.
"Why didn't you tell me? Besides, what does she have to investigate? β
Zhang Ruolei smiled lightly and played with a lighter in his hand.
"I don't believe that a woman like her was born like this, and there must have been some inhumane reason for her to be what she is today. As far as I know, the path to success of this kind of woman, like her upbringing, is unlikely to be pure and clean. β
"And what did you find?"
He smiled mysteriously again.
"It's a bit of a clue."
I sat down with him for a moment, waiting for him to unravel the mystery further.
He stretched his face towards me, and I kissed him on the cheek. I thought he would laugh as he always did, but he wrung his eyebrows deeper and tighter.
"Are you weird?"
He looked up at me.
"In her hometown, I couldn't even find her."
"Can't find her?"
He rested his elbows on his knees, his hands crossed.
"Yes."
He looked up, a wrinkle on his forehead crumpled tightly.
"Yes, I have checked her for a long time and sent two groups of people, and there is no trace of her presence in the local area."
Again, he stressed: "Not at all. β
Zhang Ruolei got up and looked out of the window, the light reflected obliquely from his pupils, making his pupils an inexplicable pale yellow, like an opal shining in the sun.
"I don't have a clue right now, and that's the main reason I don't want to tell you. First, I don't want you to worry, and second, I can't figure out the details of her, and I feel more and more bottomless in my heart. β
He turned his back to me.
"Xiao Han actually has so much energy, she
Can completely wash away his past. How did she do it? What exactly is the purpose? I don't have a clue. I thought she was just for the money, but now it seems that I obviously underestimated her. β
He let out a long breath and tilted his head slightly.
"To be honest, I thought it was just a relationship of mutual use with her."
He rubbed his face with both hands.
"I didn't expect that after playing with the eagle all my life, the eagle pecked its eyes."
I paced up to him and stood side by side with him.
"It's impossible to kick her out now." My expression was solemn.
"Yes. I thought about working on the hurricane's side, but I couldn't get in. Intricately intertwined, she built a vast network of connections for herself in the hurricane. It's all about the body? I don't think it's likely. β
"What's the worst that can happen?"
I asked him. I wonder how bad it can be to keep such a woman around.
Zhang Ruolei chuckled.
"I just don't know what the worst will be. Have you ever been to a psychiatric hospital? I've been and my mom used to live in it for a while. The biggest risk of living with a madman is her madness. You never know at what point she's going to go crazy and bite your throat like a mad dog. β
"I'm sorry."
He said.
"It was I who invited her in, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and what I am most worried about now is that I have no ability to send her away."
I was at a loss for what to say. To be honest, I have never seen him so serious and helpless, Zhang Ruolei I knew at the beginning, he can really be covered when the sky falls, he is not afraid of the sky, he is the eldest and he is the second, there are no taboos. Nothing and no one had ever worried him so much.
I also fell into deep thought. I originally thought that Xiao Han's biggest plan was Huaihai. Now it seems that I was obviously too naΓ―ve. If Huaihai also looks at it the same way, then he is destined to be a tragic figure.
And how is Huaiping's sudden disappearance inextricably linked to her?
The night covers the land, the tired birds return to the forest, and the vast land on the outskirts of the city is brewing boundless tranquility and serenity, but the silence like a phantom seems to be silently telling the unexpected. The mysterious world, the mysterious fate, we are all puppets, we are all marionettes, and the saddest thing is that sometimes, we are not even puppets of the world or fate. Rather, it becomes someone else's prey or puppet.
Will we all be Xiao Han's prey?
Unknown.
Not long after the year, it was my wedding with Zhang Ruolei, and everyone was in full swing to arrange. The reason why I chose to have a wedding after the year was really accommodating my time and work with him. It is still a little more leisurely at the beginning of the year, otherwise after the beginning of the new year, the real estate project he and Zhao Zhiheng will start construction, and the hurricane needs good accounts, piled up together in thousands of ways, and he is so busy that he has no time to take a breath when he hangs himself.
At the beginning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the administration bought firecrackers, which means a good start. Thousands of broken remnants of red and colorful, the new year, Maki
Hope all the best. I used to think that these four words were four words, but now I know that these four words are the most beautiful prayers and the most beautiful blessings for myself. Everyone hopes that everything will go well, and it may be because life is not going well nine times out of ten.
Xiao Han stood across from me, and through the smoke of the firecrackers, we looked at each other from afar. It's all in plain sight. In addition, it can only be blocked by soldiers and covered by water.
Zhang Ruolei said that he wanted to try to get her DNA, I think it's a bit big, I'm afraid that if I provoke Xiao Han, she will go crazy directly. But who is a pure normal person in this world? The world is a big drama, the madman is playing, and the fool is watching. In "Dream of Red Mansions", it is said that I will appear on the stage after singing and rejecting my hometown. We take turns to play the main role in our own scripts, but most of the time we don't have an audience.
We're all stupid, we're all stupid, we're all crazy at times, we're all normal.
But none of us want to admit that we're not normal.
Northeast people have a standard scolding method, that is, scolding others for being stupid, these two words will be directly rushed out of the mouth at every turn, regardless of age and gender. Everyone else is a fool in our eyes, and we are all fools in other people's mouths. Who's the real fool? Who isn't a fool?
Zhang Ruolei's real estate project is going very smoothly, and it is expected that Zhang Ruolei will make a lot of money when the project is completed.
Xiao Han also put forward a proposal before the Chinese New Year, I was optimistic about that project, in business, businessmen can't say anything else, not to mention that I have to explain to shareholders, employees, hurricanes, and Mrs. Zhang.
I talked to Zhang Ruolei privately about that plan, and said that it was feasible and could be done. But he disagreed, saying that Xiao Han has always had a plan to be a man and do things, and he has always been leaky. She wouldn't give such a big pie to Zhang.
"But she's a representative of the hurricane side, doesn't she want to make beautiful achievements to explain to her filial piety company?"
"You let me think about it."
In those days, Zhang Ruolei was thoughtful all day long, he almost turned over the plan, every word, every scrap of paper, every punctuation mark, and sometimes stayed up all night, so that his eyes were red. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw him wretching himself to the pile of torn papers.
I walked over and told him it wasn't going to be like this. I couldn't quite understand him at the time. I don't understand that he is doing that completely for me, he himself is not afraid of anything, he is afraid that Xiao Han will hurt me. In addition, he deeply blamed himself, Xiao Han was brought into the game by him, and he put me in such a dangerous situation, and he knew that I was not Xiao Han's opponent, I was not as ruthless as her, and I didn't have her eyes and means, no matter how I compared, from which point of view, in the end, I would become Xiao Han's defeat.
He wanted to get her out of my side as soon as possible, but he couldn't do anything about it. The more anxious and distracted the mind, the more unruly they become.
"Don't push yourself." I advised him.
"Now that it's a society governed by the rule of law, what can she do to us? What can she do to Zhang? Maybe we're overthinking. β
Zhang Ruolei said yes, yes, but I know that he completely disagrees with my judgment. He sensed
It is precisely because you don't know the other party's hole cards and don't know what the other party wants, which makes people even more nervous and uneasy.
Once, Zhang Ruolei and I met her in the corridor, and she looked at us with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang."
She spoke like a warbler.
"Is it your usual style to make small movements behind your back?"
Zhang Ruolei and I were silent. She sneered contemptuously.
"You can think about it, don't steal chickens and don't lose a handful of rice."
Her eyes swept over me.
"My secrets may not be as good as yours."
I knew she meant something, but I didn't know what she was referring to. Later, I asked Zhang Ruolei, Zhang Ruolei blushed and said that she was a madman, why should you take it seriously if she is a madman?
But Xiao Han I know, every breath she takes, every breath she takes can't be a superfluous move.
The next day, at the company's regular meeting, Xiao Han spread his proposal on the table, and openly held me accountable and challenged me as a representative of the hurricane. said such a perfect plan and plan, she really didn't understand how long I had to think about it, and said that my level was too low, and my courage was not enough.
Is this the rhythm that is going to pull me off the horse?
