Chapter 40: Convinced

From the moment he received the vague video and the text describing his wife's cheating from Cheng Gong, Cao Pu's mood fell into a chaotic and complicated situation - like a pile of twine balls that were tangled and tightly wrapped, cutting and untangling, making him feel endless confusion and exhaustion.

He took out his cigarette - he hadn't smoked for a long time, because Murong Lian had not allowed him to smoke, and he quit smoking obediently. Still, in his present mood he pulled out his cigarette rebelliously, and began to smoke one cigarette after another, so violently that he coughed incessantly......

He suddenly remembered the experience of Murong Lian's parents helping him in the past - if it weren't for the enlightenment and help of Murong Lian's parents, he would not have today's career achievements.

Cao Pu lost his mother at an early age, and after graduating from high school, he was admitted to university only because of a few points. In order to earn more money, he learned to be a carpenter from his father...... With his ingenuity, he learns everything he can learn and understand it at a moment's notice.

However, just as he had learned the carpenter's trade and was just in time to graduate, his father died of a serious illness from overwork—his heart was pierced by a sharp arrow.

He had just turned eighteen years old at the time, and he was an only child, so he had no other relatives around him, so he had to take care of himself. So, he came to the city from the countryside to work. At first, he worked on a construction site, and then because the contractor deducted his wages, he went out to work alone.

He is hard-working...... In squares, bridgeheads, alleys, residential areas and other places, signs are held everywhere asking for carpentry work. Because he was smart, skillful, well-paid, and eloquent, business was good for a while.

In this way, after several years, he earned more than 200,000 yuan...... But he felt that it was too hard to work as a carpenter, so he used the money he earned to open a clothing store......

Who knows that he is not the material for running a clothing business at all, and because online shopping has just emerged, buying clothes online has become a fashion, and the business of clothing stores is becoming more and more difficult to do.

As a result, his clothing store plummeted and had to close its doors...... not only lost the 200,000 yuan he earned, but also owed a butt of foreign debts.

He felt desperate, like a dark and bottomless abyss that swallowed all his hope and light. He found a small restaurant...... drank more than a pound of liquor, drunk himself, and prepared to commit suicide by jumping into the river and ending his life......

On the way to the riverbank, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

At this time, it happened that Murong Lian's parents passed by here and sent Cao Pu to the hospital for treatment without hesitation. Because of the timely treatment, he was able to save his life.

Murong Lian's parents are both big businessmen who are businessmen and have business minds, and after they heard about Cao Pu's experience, they enlightened Cao Pu and said: "A businessman must build confidence and withstand beatings, and it is normal to make profits and losses in business, but as long as the confidence is not extinguished, then there is a chance to make a comeback." ”

Then he told Cao Pu about their indomitable entrepreneurial stories. Cao Pu was greatly moved after hearing this, and he regained his confidence and courage and devoted himself to the business world again......

Murong Lian's parents have no son, only Murong Lian is a daughter, and when they saw that Cao Pu was a good young man, they always regarded Cao Pu as a son.

At that time, the real estate industry was just emerging, and Murong Lian's parents guaranteed and mortgaged the bank for Cao Pu, giving Cao Pu the capital for his business. Cao Pu used the money to buy land and build commercial houses to sell.

Cao Pu took advantage of the loopholes in the laws, regulations, and rules and regulations of the real estate market that were not perfect, so that the commercial houses he repaired were sold off when the procedures were not yet complete.

In this way, Cao Pu not only paid off the bank loan, but also made a net profit of several million yuan...... He used the money he earned to buy land and repair commercial houses...... And so on and so on, and his money snowballed more and more.

With this money, Cao Pu expanded his business, not only repairing houses to sell, but also operating building materials, home appliances, furniture, catering, advertising, e-commerce, logistics, property, decoration and other real estate-related businesses.

Later, on the basis of these, he founded the Cao Group and built a group building in the center of the city.

He became a successful businessman in the city and became a smash hit, with some media outlets vying to promote him.

Cao Pu and Murong Lian met, of course, when he lost his soul and was taken in by Murong Niang's parents. Murong Lian also gave him encouragement to find the motivation to move forward in the predicament. He felt that Murong Lian was very good, not only was she beautiful, but she was also extremely kind-hearted.

At that time, there were many suitors behind Murong Lian, and these people were either rich or noble, so Cao Pu looked extremely inferior in front of her. He vowed to mix well in order to be qualified to marry her.

Among the many suitors, Murong Lian found that Cao Pu was honest, diligent, and sincere to others...... These qualities are not found in other suitors.

In addition, at that time, Murong Lian's parents were both killed in a car accident, and Murong Lian felt like the sky was falling without any support and support.

Cao Pu was not only busy at the funeral of Murong Lian's parents, but also accompanied her wholeheartedly.

He was like a warm and steady light illuminating and comforting her lonely and helpless heart, and he was like a pillar and a mountain for Murong Lian to find support and support, making him a man for her to live forward.

Later, Murong Lian chose to marry Cao Pu.

Cao Pu is twenty years older than Murong Lian, and his appearance is average. When he was in love, he treated Murong Lian like a brother to his sister, and he was obedient to her, winning the envy and jealousy of countless people.

They once had a sweet and happy time, during which Murong Lian's heart was as sweet as honey, always full of happiness.

But the good times didn't last long, especially after their son Cao Jing was born, they often quarreled. may be due to the fact that the two have been together for too long, and as soon as the novelty and love have passed, the two have an emotional generation gap and differences of opinion.

For example, in terms of educating and managing children, in the decoration style of the villa, in spending money on things, in dealing with people in the world, etc., the two often quarrel because of their different views.

Later, when the two were tired of arguing, they stopped arguing, but no matter how they quarreled, they never started fighting, but remained silent.

You ignore me and I don't speak, I ignore you and I don't speak, like strangers living under the same roof. This sometimes lasts for a long time, up to half a year.

Both of them are tired, but neither is willing to divorce. On the one hand, because of the children, and on the other hand, because of the property - both of them are reluctant to let go.

However, despite this, Cao Pu always firmly believed that Murong Lian would not cheat, and would never do stupid things like being sorry for him and cheating with other men.

As Cao Pu himself, he is also loyal to his marriage. But sometimes I am singing with officials and clients, drinking, washing feet, massage, traveling, and playing golf...... When he was having fun, he also had some ambiguous relationships with those escort girls, singing girls, female coaches, female tour guides, etc.

He believes that these are one-time consumption and will not have much impact on the marriage.

Of course, although he is a successful entrepreneur, he is not good at love, marriage and family, and he can even be said to have no experience at all.

He didn't understand his wife's mind, and he didn't communicate with her, and he ignored her love life......

He is sometimes self-righteous, self-serving, and indifferent, and he thinks that his wife has food, clothing, shelter, and flowers...... All kinds of material conditions are enough for her, and she will not be unfaithful to him.

He had been married to Murong Lian for almost ten years, and he had become accustomed to life with his wife.

Now that he received the video and text unexpectedly, he was at a loss for what to do - because he didn't know if it was real or fake, and he wasn't sure...... If this is fake, isn't it a misunderstanding of his wife and killing her?

He thought: "Cheng Gong is my competitor in the business field, what kind of purpose did he deliberately send and tell me about this matter?" Perhaps to sow discord...... Or some other conspiracy. ”

The answer to this question in his mind was vague and uncertain. He really wanted to talk to someone he could trust to talk to or discuss, but he didn't know who to talk to. In the past, he felt that the most trustworthy person was Murong Lian, and he always discussed with her if he was unsure, but now?

"If you ask my wife again, it's not ...... Isn't it fun to talk to yourself? ”

He suddenly came to his senses as if someone had poured cold water on him, and then patted his shiny bald head with his hand.

"I'm such a stupid big fool, before this question is clear, whether she betrayed me is still a question mark, I should be on guard against her!"

"But, though...... I've gotten used to living with her for so many years, she knows me, I know her, she's a good woman, a good wife, a good mother, isn't she? ”

"If I divorce her tomorrow, although I can remarry other women, can I still find a more suitable and beautiful woman than her?"

When Cao Pu thought of this, he was blindly confident that his wife was innocent, so much so that he was convinced...... The anger just now was swept away and vanished.
