"Later, Liu Li used the money left to her by the boss to speculate in the stock market... she basically lost all her money, and also lost all her own property..."
Tang Kui continued.
"That's right! I remember that Liu Li also liked to play mahjong and gamble, and her bets were quite big... She finally became poor from a rich person."
Zhen Yan curled her lips, feeling a little gloating.
"Well, yes, I arranged several raids to catch gamblers, and my brothers also arrested her. She was once fined and detained..."
"well……"
Zhen Yan sighed for her classmate Liu Li——
"She wanted to make money back, but she didn't have any cash in her hand..." Tang Kui took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, and continued to speak slowly.
"Oh...she has no money, what should I do?"
"She thought about the boss who told her before he died that someone else owed him some money..."
"Oh, those who owe debts in today's society are all uncles, but it's hard to get them back..." Zhen Yan was extremely emotional.
"That's right! Of course she has the IOU in her hand... She wants to file a lawsuit to get back the arrears... As far as I know, she only got a small part back, and most of them are difficult to get back because of insufficient evidence... ….”
After Tang Kui finished speaking, he blew out a smoke ring.
"Oh! So that's what happened. She worked so hard... trading stocks and playing cards - probably for money... Everything was caused by money... She didn't take the right path, or she blamed her bad luck, but in the end it was... Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain..."
"Of course, money is a good thing. It's really impossible to live without money now. At least the quality of life cannot be improved. However, even for money, Liu Li could have chosen a better man based on her beauty."
Tang Kui added, smiled coldly, and said again.
"However, after Liu Li got divorced, she married an old and ugly man. After her marriage, he quickly started a business of speculating on stocks and even got into gambling... This is wrong. Wrong addition."
"I hope she won't come to lend me money."
Zhen Yan said worriedly.
"To seek medical treatment in case of emergency - of course it is not impossible."
Tang Kui said calmly and asked again:
"Did she go to college?"
"No."
"No wonder her cultivation is still so little!"
"how?"
"Not really. But it doesn't matter."
"Um……"
"It seems that you just told me that you also invited her daughter to come to our house for dinner tomorrow night - someone once told me that her daughter is a lovely, lively and highly educated girl."
"Ah - then...she's not as uneducated as her mother!"
"I guess she won't be like her mother." Tang Kui replied, "I know Song Jie's father. He is also highly educated, but he foolishly married Liu Li and wisely divorced her. marriage……"
Zhen Yan let out a long sigh and lowered her head in thought.
Tang Kui said nothing... he put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, rubbed it, and poured some tea on it until the cigarette butt was extinguished. Seeing that the cigarette butt was no longer smoking, Tang Kui stood up from the sofa, raised his hands, stretched his arms, and did a few chest expansion exercises...
During their conversation, Tang Shu heard clearly - he felt very embarrassed.
After lunch, Tang Shu went for a walk inside the community.
He had secretly vowed never to go to the building where Song Jie lived again...but an irresistible magic attracted him there again——
Moreover, this time Tang Shu's trip was not in vain... As soon as he reached the corner of a building, he saw Song Jie slowly walking towards him.
This time, she was alone - there was a gentle force flowing between her steps, like petals falling gently to the ground.
Song Jie held a book in her hand and walked slowly along the path in the community with her head lowered.
She didn't realize in time that Tang Shu was opposite——
If Tang Shu hadn't ducked and hid around the corner - of course she would have almost noticed him.
——But, Tang Shu immediately thought of an idea to scare her...
Then, Tang Shu coughed.
Song Jie raised her head when she heard the cough and looked around. She didn't stop when she saw no one.
When they reached the corner, Tang Shu suddenly jumped out of the corner and suddenly let out two loud "cough coughs". Song Jie was so scared that she dropped the book on the ground and immediately covered her plump and firm chest with both hands.
"Oh my god, you scared me to death... It turns out it's you, your naughty little brother - Shu Shu,..."
She moved the wide sky blue rim of her round straw hat with one hand, glanced at Tang Shu, chuckled heartily and loudly, and then picked up the book from the ground.
"Song Jie, who told you not to make me happy... I just want to scare you... Haha..."
After saying that, Tang Shu also smiled.
He stood there and hesitated for a while, ignoring Song Jie, and walked away alone with a heavy heart.
"What do I mean to her?"
Tang Shu thought to himself.
At this time, there was a familiar sound of footsteps in front of Tang Shu... Tang Shu looked up and saw that his father, Tang Kui, was walking towards him at a brisk pace.
"Is she Liu Li's daughter?"
Tang Kui walked towards him, pointed at Song Jie not far ahead, and asked Tang Shu softly.
"Yes."
"Son, do you know her?"
"Well, of course we know each other, what's the matter?"
Tang Kui stopped, his facial expression froze. He paused for a while, observed Song Jie... and suddenly walked forward.
When he came to meet Song Jie, Tang Kui nodded to her politely.
Song Jie also nodded to him, with a somewhat surprised expression on her face, and then nervously put the book on her chest vertically down but still held it in her hand.
Tang Shu saw her turning her head and watching her father go away...
Tang Shu saw all these scenes... From Tang Shu's point of view, except for the occasional police uniform, his father's other ordinary clothes were always elegant and unique, decent and simple.
However, Tang Shu felt that his father's expression had changed a bit today——
It seems that my father’s expression in the past has never been as stiff as it is today——
Although there were some wrinkles on Tang Kui's face and he looked extremely old-fashioned and unsmiling, he had never been as stiff as he was today.
"Does father also know Song Jie? If so, what is the relationship between father and Song Jie?"
Tang Shu was thinking wildly and had doubts.
While he was thinking about it, he was about to walk towards Song Jie, but Song Jie didn't even look at Tang Shu, and put the book in front of her chest and walked away alone.
Tang Shu spent the entire afternoon, evening, and morning of the next day in a depressed and unhappy state of mind.
He seemed to want to try reading some novels to relieve his boredom, so he picked up a romance novel from the bookshelf and read it...
However, the pages and rows of closely arranged typefaces in this novel were like black silver needles piercing his heart, flashing unforgettably in front of Tang Shu.
"The meaning of love is to help the other person improve while also improving yourself."
He suddenly saw this famous quote by Chernyshevsky.
He read this famous quote dozens of times in a row - however, he never understood what it meant, so he had to put the novel back on the shelf.
Later, he was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, thinking about it over and over again, and finally realized the essence of it——
"This is how true soul mates should be, helping each other and growing together instead of becoming a stumbling block to each other's success."
he thought again.
"If I fall in love with Song Jie, will she become a stumbling block for me?"
After lunch, Tang Shu washed his greasy and wind-crusted hair. After that, I used a hair dryer to dry my hair and applied hair oil to my hair.
He also learned to look like a mature man, combing his hair back to reveal his high forehead, and combing his hair into a big back. He also put on the suit jacket and a pink tie.
"Don't Song Jie like pink?"
Tang Shu thought again.
"Shu Shu, my child, what are you doing? Where are you going?"
Naturally, these changes in Tang Shu could not escape her mother's eyes - Zhen Yan asked with concern and ridicule when her son was so good at dressing up.
"Are you still a student? Why do you comb your hair so smoothly and dress so formally? Are you going on a blind date? I bought you a piece of casual clothes. You can wear it if you like, but don't throw it aside. !”
"Mom, didn't you say there would be guests coming tonight?" Tang Shu asked in a low voice, almost desperately.
"You really know how to talk nonsense - what kind of guests are they?"
