Chapter 114: The Truth About Missing Contact
As soon as I entered the restaurant, Wu Peiming pulled a chair for me very gentlemanly.
It's hard for me to imagine being a grave robber.
After I sat down, I hurriedly asked him how much the medical expenses were just now, and I didn't want to take advantage of him.
But Wu Peiming just refused to say it, only said that there was not much to want.
I saw that he was determined not to tell me, so he said that he would take out the invoices and add them one by one.
Wu Peiming hurriedly stopped me when he heard this: "Okay, okay, my aunt, don't take it out." Be careful, you won't be able to have surgery tomorrow. ”
"Who told you not to tell me how much."
"Ah, I'm scared of you. You have medical insurance, and the out-of-pocket part is not much, only a few hundred yuan. You don't have to worry about the third brother with this little money. ”
"Okay. But I'll invite you for this meal, and I should have done my best to be a landlord. ”
Wu Peiming saw that he couldn't twist me, so he agreed.
He handed me the menu and said that I was familiar with Shanghai food and asked me to order it.
I took the menu and flipped through it, but I saw that Wu Peiming's eyes had been staring at me and refused to take it off.
I continued to charge, looked down at the menu, and ignored him.
Wu Peiming whispered on the side for a long time, as if he had something to say, but he stopped talking.
I didn't know what he wanted to say, but I was really afraid that he would seriously talk to me about my feelings, so I continued to pretend that I didn't hear and ignored him.
Finally, Wu Peiming couldn't help it and asked me, "Can you tell the third brother how his father didn't have it?" I haven't heard that you are married in Guizhou before, how can there be such a big change in just one year? ”
Wu Peiming is a smart person, and he cares about me, he won't know this kind of thing, it's not good to ask so bluntly in person, and it's still at this juncture.
I think this is the reason why he wanted to speak just now and stopped, and he didn't speak for a long time.
But in the end, he still asked, and it seemed that he was determined to chase me and test my previous relationship with the child's father.
I hesitated to tell him the truth.
Because in fact, what is the use is not there, it is not the kind of death that he understands.
It's just that what's the use of not being in this world, we are destined not to be together, and this is also a question that I have to look at directly.
I asked myself if the relationship with He Yong was not enough to support me to close my feelings for him for the rest of my life.
The answer is extremely hesitant.
In this case, I asked myself, is Wu Peiming really hopeless for me?
Again, the answer is yes.
But what I know for sure is that I don't hate Wu Peiming as a person.
Therefore, in the end, I still told him about the parallel time and space, and the things of He Yong this year.
After Wu Peiming heard this, he was not overjoyed, but had a distressed expression on his face, and said to me seriously: "It turned out to be a bad fate. How can a person who does not exist in this world at all leave his children in this world? It's really bitter for you, you have suffered such a crime in vain! ”
I was stunned at that moment, I never thought that Wu Peiming was such a transparent person.
It was also at that moment that I truly unloaded all the burdens in my heart and willingly accepted tomorrow's surgery.
Wu Peiming stretched out his hand and held my hand tightly with pity.
My heart was pounding, and I hurriedly withdrew my hand.
I changed the subject awkwardly and said, "Third brother, how did you wake up?" Can you get that lost soul back? ”
Wu Peiming saw that I deliberately avoided him, so he obediently took his hand back.
He smiled and said, "I just missed my sister, and I thought about coming to see my sister, so I returned to my body by myself." As for that soul, it still hasn't been recovered. ”
The soul has not been recovered?
I looked Wu Peiming up and down, he didn't look like a person who had lost his soul at all.
But I'm sure he wouldn't lie to me about it, but he said he was here to see me, and I can't believe that.
"Not long after I left Guizhou, I went back to the sanatorium to look for you, but they said that you were transferred away by your second sister. I haven't contacted your second brother again, and your second sister has never appeared in the small restaurant again, what's going on? ”
"It's a long story, let's finish ordering first, and the third brother will talk to you while eating."
I smiled embarrassedly, hurriedly called the waiter, hurriedly ordered a few dishes, and then began to ask Wu Peiming again.
Wu Peiming told me that the shop under the name of Wu Peili in the antique city sold a valuable treasure to a retired old teacher, and he seemed to know a little bit about it. But when the old teacher's children found out about the price of the antique, it was not the antique shop that deceived their father.
The old teacher was an honest man, and his children were indeed arrogant and domineering, and rushed to the antique shop to demand a return.
Li Wei and Wu Peili were not in the shop that day, how dare the guy talk to himself and return the 100,000 goods, not to mention that there is not so much cash in the store.
When the children heard that the store still didn't give them back, they became more and more convinced that they were selling fake goods, and said that they would sue them for fraud.
The old teacher stopped him, but the children didn't listen to him, and the more they made trouble in the shop, the more fierce they became.
The guy was in a hurry and hurriedly called Wu Peiwen.
Wu Peili happened to be in Wu Peiwen's small restaurant that day, and said that Wu Peiwen didn't have to worry about it, and he went to pick up the shutdown to get some money and let them return it.
It's just that Wu Peili didn't expect the pair of children to be extremely domineering, even if they agreed to give them a refund, they still scolded and scolded.
In addition, these two people don't know how to do it at all, and they feel that if they buy a broken porcelain for hundreds of thousands, their father will be cheated. So I took the things over angrily, and I didn't pay attention to protect them on the way, and when I returned the goods, the guy checked the goods as usual.
An extremely long crack was clearly visible, which was not there when it was sold.
Wu Peili has always been a good person, and he didn't say that he wouldn't let him go, but only said that he would return at a discount according to the rules. And it's not too much, even the young man on the side reminded him that if he quit at this price, he won't be able to sell it at this price again.
Wu Peili originally just wanted to calm things down, and felt that it was almost enough, and he didn't care about the little man's words.
But as soon as the pair of children heard that they were going to fold the money, they accused Wu Peili that they were deliberately blackmailing, and the more they said it, the more ugly it became, and finally even Wu Peili's old mother was greeted.
Wu Peili was really annoyed at this time, and started arguing with them, but it was useless, and the other party's words became more and more ugly.
Even the old teacher on the side stomped his feet in shame, saying that he had educated countless people, and he didn't want his children to teach like this.
He bluntly said that he had no face to look at, and left in pain.
After the old teacher left, the two children became more and more fierce, and the man started to push Wu Peili.
Wu Peili suddenly became irritable, and raised his fist and punched the man.
Wu Peili's figure is already too burly, and he is the master who fights for food and does not want to die, how can this man bear these few punches.
The woman went up and tried to pull, but she was also knocked to the ground and hit her head heavily on the ground.
The man passed out.
At this time, even the guy and the owner of a few shops next door came to pull it, and he was afraid that Wu Peili would kill someone without a serious matter.
The woman was so frightened that she quickly called the police.
The police took Wu Peili into custody.
Later, the police informed Wu Peiwen that the woman had a mild concussion, but the problem was not big. However, the man's internal bleeding was severe, and he is still in a coma, and his life and death are uncertain. Let them prepare the money and go to the hospital to pay the medical bills of the injured first.
Wu Peiwen knew that the situation was serious, and what she was more afraid of was that if the police started to investigate the antique they quarreled with and found out that they robbed the tomb, I am afraid that the sentence would be heavier and more widely implicated.
So Wu Peiwen first asked Li Wei to take his son to a friend's house in other provinces for temporary refuge, and then she transferred Wu Peiming to other provinces.
Later, she asked her friends to help her, often going to the hospital to care for the injured, and as long as they opened their mouths about the medical expenses, they would immediately turn around.
In order not to let the police suspect that the two of them had absconded, she just told the store manager Wu Peili that nothing happened and she lost a lot of money, so she was not very happy to go back to Henan. And she herself has something to do and can't come to the store for a while, so let her take a good look at the store.
"No wonder I went to the small restaurant to look for her, and the little sister in the store said that she would not come for a few days if she had something at home, but I went several times later, but I never met your second sister."
"Well, the second sister and their family are all hiding in other provinces."
"And what happened to that man? Did you get it back? Why has I called Second Uncle Wu for the past year, but his mobile phone has been turned off? ”
"The second brother was sentenced to one year, and he was released not long ago. In fact, the man was later rescued, and he was not disabled. The second sister lost a lot of money to him, but he insisted on suing the second brother. ”
"Alas, so it was. How is the second brother now? Are you okay? ”
"It's not bad, you don't have to worry about food or clothing in prison, and you don't have to fight, people can raise better than before!" Wu Peiming said with a smile.
"Actually, your second sister's family is very rich, although your second brother doesn't have too much money, but he doesn't look like a master who is short of money. He's not young anymore, why hasn't he washed his hands all the time? ”
"People in the rivers and lakes are often involuntarily. There are many friends, and sometimes you are asked to help, can you not go? What's more, didn't the second sister give the second brother an antique shop? The second brother doesn't fight, where does the good goods in the shop come from? ”
Wu Peiming said and sighed deeply.
"Just like Li Wei, the second sister persuaded him to quit together, but he was willing to fake divorce the second sister and not quit that circle, why is that?"
I took a bite of food, looked at Wu Peiming in a daze, and shook my head.
Wu Peiming continued: "It's because he can't help himself, he has earned enough by himself, but there are still many people pointing to him to eat!" Others may not have earned enough......"
"Someone else's business, what's his business. He really didn't want to do it, could someone force him to do it with a gun to his head? I interjected, puzzled.
"Pretty much. This industry is full of bad people, do you think that if you get in the way of them making money, they won't do anything to you? ”
"Not really. Didn't you say that Li Weijianghu's status was quite high? ”
Wu Peiming sneered and said, "You can lead everyone to make money, of course you are the big brother." If you get in the way of making money, what do you think the result will be? ”
"Isn't it that some of the tomb robbers are still very righteous!"
"Righteous anger, if you treat me as a brother, I will give you my life. You're out of this circle and have left your brother, so is there anyone else who is angry with you? ”
I blinked, not knowing what to say.
Wu Peiming smiled softly and said, "You are a child in a big city, I said this to scare you!" But that's exactly what happened. This is why the second sister never returned to the small restaurant later, and the small restaurant has not been closed. ”
"Yes, I went to the small restaurant a few times later, but I never found your second sister. It seems that your second sister is determined to leave that circle completely. ”
"That's right. After the second brother was sentenced, he was not involved in the antique shop, and the guy said that the shop was open as usual. ”
"Yes, it's business as usual. I later went to that shop to find Second Uncle Wu, but the guys inside were new and I didn't know Second Uncle Wu. ”
"That's right, a new guy. Li Wei wanted to come back with his wife and children if he was fine, but the second sister disagreed, and she bought a house in other provinces without telling Li Wei. Li Wei didn't say anything, he still couldn't retreat, so he came back alone. Although the small restaurant is not very involved in tomb robbing, it is a place where their gang often gathers, so Li Wei has not closed it. Li Wei knew that the second sister wanted to completely withdraw from this circle, so the guys in the shop also changed to new people, and they didn't know the second sister. And after the second brother's incident, Li Wei became more and more cautious, and found a little girl who didn't know anything to look at the store, and the old guy who knew how to do it was taken by him. ”
"Then Third Brother, what is it that touched your soul?"
Wu Peiming smiled ruffian and said, "I said it, I miss my sister!" Didn't my sister tell me when she left that as long as I returned to my soul, I could call you at any time to chat, and I also said that I would consider it. Now that I've thought about it, I'll naturally return to my soul! ”
I smiled at him awkwardly: "Although I believe what you say, third brother, this must not be the whole reason. ”
Wu Peiming's face suddenly lost his smile, he sighed deeply, and asked, "Do you really want to know?" ”
I nodded firmly.
"This has nothing to do with your brother's affairs, I really haven't come back yet, I really didn't lie to you."
"I know. I just care about you, Third Brother Wu, so I want to know. ”
"Okay." Wu Peiming sighed deeply again, his eyes full of sorrow.
