When Catherine compares herself to a kind of goods, and even uses words like "for sale" to describe her mother's actions, the atmosphere in the room is extremely oppressive.

Her father glanced at the woman who had been with him for more than twenty years and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and took on the responsibility he shouldn't have bought.

There is a saying in the Union of Baile - "When you have to bow to life, don't be stingy with your knees and forehead touching the ground".

This sentence may be a little too pessimistic, but life is like this, since you have chosen to compromise, then compromise thoroughly.

As a man who has lost the power to become the breadwinner of the family, he has naturally realized that he has lost the power to control the family very quickly, and chooses to remain silent in the face of the conflict between the new generation of "dominators" and a "sudden up" who is hidden behind the scenes but has the potential to change the status quo.

Catherine's mother shook her head after the silence, "I didn't think so, I told you that Roma is a very good young man. ”

"He's a little older than you, but he knows how to feel sorry for a girl, he has a stable job, he has an independent house, you don't have to suffer like everyone else, isn't that good?"

Her voice quickly changed from a weak and uncertain heart to a tough one, and her voice gradually became more and more amplified.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Roma is indeed a very suitable marriage partner for some families, but this is only for certain families, only for certain people.

Catherine shook her head, "I've never had hope in your choice, you've proven you wrong once, and who knows if this will be the second time." ”

The first time was naturally a question about Lynch, of course, Catherine herself had mistakes, but this sentence made the woman who was already full of remorse in her heart suddenly angry.

"I'm not the Lord, I can't see things so far away, I just know that you were really bad in that situation at that time, am I also at fault for my daughter?"

Catherine shook her head, "Then why can't you be wrong a second time?", she said without continuing to give women a chance, stealing the right to speak in a more peaceful, but also tougher way, "You have told me since I was a child, not to sell your body for money, but today you have done a shameful act, I thought we would be different families. ”

As she spoke, she stood up, and for the first time there was a look of disappointment on her face, perhaps most children would think that they and their families were fundamentally different from other families in society before they realized the cruelty of reality.

This illusion will be shattered by their own hands when they know the day they recognize reality.

Catherine's words made the husband and wife also feel a very uncomfortable, conscience condemnation.

Living in such a neighborhood, what parents fear most is that their children will go down the wrong path, but they themselves have made the most wrong example.

Catherine turned and walked to the entrance, it was almost dark outside, and no girl would choose to leave the house and go to the street at this time, which made the couple nervous.

Catherine's mother quickly stood up and ran two steps to grab Catherine's wrist, "Where are you going?", followed by her emphasis, "You can't go out!"

With a wave of her hand, Catherine shook off her mother's arm, she glanced sideways at the woman and smiled, "Since you have decided to sell me for a good price, why don't you sell it higher?"

She spoke with a bit of a horror, and the woman even forgot to stop her, watching her leave the house at this time.

On the other hand, Lynch, who had just finished socializing, returned home, and in the afternoon Joe Gleeman called him and told him that someone was interested in the land in his hand and that they could sit down and talk.

He attended a dinner organized by Joe Grimman, but he wasn't at all interested in the person on the other side of the table or what the other party had to say.

Obviously, the other party may have wanted to buy the land for the sake of Joe Greman's face, or for some other reason, and the other party only offered a price that was so low that Lynch could not accept, 1.6 million.

The bastard, with a swaggering tone and tone full of charity, wanted to buy the land for an outrageously low price, as if what he had done was a gift to Lynch.

In the face of this kind of person, Lynch will not be too polite to the other party.

His rich experience has taught him the truth that those who look down on you now, even if you make changes, will still look down on you, until you step on the other person's face and spit on him, he will not put away the idea of despising you.

The more you do before that, the more it will seem to the other person to be a weak-minded and worthless struggle and resistance.

So Lynch simply terminated the continuation of dinner at the right time, maintaining the most basic etiquette.

After the meal, Joe Griman also apologized to Lynch, he didn't know that the person he found was the same as a fool, and of course he also said that he would continue to find some suitable people for Lynch.

At about eight o'clock, Lynch was already preparing to rest, and it was at this time that the phone rang.

He was a little surprised, and it was rare for anyone to call him at this time, but he answered it anyway, and immediately came a voice on the other end of the phone that he was very familiar with, it was Mr. Fox.

"Didn't you sleep?", Mr. Fox's voice was full of confidence and loud, he had been doing well lately, and he was in good spirits, "I don't go to bed so early for an old man like me, you're missing out on too many wonderful things in life, friend Lynch." ”

Lynch laughed a few times and didn't continue the discussion on the topic, and if he didn't socialize, he would have gone to bed a little earlier.

Sleeping is a very "nourishing" process, and if it is just to waste time, it is an unnecessary behavior.

"Is there something wrong?", he asked casually, he didn't think that Fox would have anything to do when he called at this time, most likely to ask him to go out and relax.

Mr. Fox had a vague feeling from Lynch's brief laughter that he was once again being watched by a kind gaze, and he shook his head to put the absurd idea out of his mind and got down to business, "Do you know a girl named Catherine?"

"There's a guy looking for you on the street at night, you know, I'm a little famous now, and the kids told me about it, and I've invited someone, maybe you'll be interested in it?"

Mr. Fox's business is getting bigger and bigger because of his cooperation with Lynch, and the FBI and the Federal Inland Revenue Service have swept the money laundering dealers in Sabin City in order to save their image in front of the public, which has also expanded Mr. Fox's "territory" many times.

There were many more people who were in his service, and there were ordinary and serious employees, as well as employees who roamed the streets all day.

The collaboration between Mr. Fox and Mr. Lynch has become a classic in the eyes of some, who know Lynch.

Later in the evening, a pretty girl went down the street to some young men who were clearly part of the street forces and asked if they knew Lynch or Mr. Fox, which made them wary.

They brought the girl to Mr. Fox's side, because they didn't know who the girl was, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

Mr. Fox was not interested in Lynch's ex-girlfriend who had broken up when he investigated Lynch before, so he missed this knowledge point, and now he is calling just to confirm whether Lynch knows this girl.

Hearing this, Lynch glanced down at the ring on his little finger, smiled and sighed, "Arrange for someone to send her to my house......

More than 20 minutes later, the former boyfriend and girlfriend who had been separated for more than a month met again, without much embarrassment, but with a hint of curiosity and exploration.

"Looks like you're doing well!", Catherine didn't express her remorse or anything like a normal girl, she looked at the splendid villa, and couldn't help but praise it.

Lynch, dressed in civilian clothes, pouted, walked over to the bar and took out two cups, "Juice, wine, or coffee?" and poured himself a little wine, "I don't use a grinder, if you want coffee you'll have to do it yourself." ”

"Have some wine, I don't like coffee. Catherine turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room, the texture of the leather sofa and the full elastic padding inside made her love to stroke a few times, and patted it, "Life is hard enough, why don't you make it easier?"

Lynch came over with two cups, one for her and one in his hand.

After a brief clinking of glasses, each took a sip.

Perhaps it was the psychological effects of alcohol, Catherine was quick to explain, "I didn't expect you to become so fast, is there any trick?"

Lynch thought about it seriously, "If you want to tell me the trick......", he had a very special smile on his face, and lowered his voice, "Actually, I am the illegitimate child of God, don't tell anyone else." ”

Catherine couldn't help but laugh, smiled and sighed, and took another sip of wine, "You always like to joke around......"

She suddenly closed her mouth as she said this, because the sentence made the atmosphere in the room a little sad, "I said something I shouldn't have said, and I apologize for it." ”

Lynch was generous, "I forgive you." ”

The two looked at each other, a little unfamiliar, but a little familiar.

"My mother was going to sell me to a fool on the condition that my father would get a job. ”

"It's all for sale anyway, I think you'll give a higher price, right?"
