"Oh, I can't stand it. I can only run away without saying a word. There is no other way except asking you to find a good place for me and hide me."
"This is a small matter, no problem. However, that person will break into your company."
"I'm also going to quit that securities company. I don't like that job in the first place."
"You have to take good care of my securities before resigning! Didn't they go up not long ago? What happened next?"
"The total profit from N stock and K stock is about 50,000."
While Jijigugu was talking, Zhao Kuan was also very concerned about the situation in the back room.
"...Is that guy still sleeping?" Zhao Kuan pressed the shortened cigarette into the ashtray.
"Did you take sedatives? There seems to be a teacup next to the pillow." Yi Mei said.
"Do you have that thing? It wasn't there when I left."
Zhao Kuan tilted his head, said he wanted to take a look, and walked towards the back room.
"I have to go back." Yi Mei said.
"You stay a little longer. If that guy is sleeping deeply, why don't we go somewhere to play together. Did you bring the car?"
"There is a car."
"Where's the time?"
"Two or three hours is no problem."
"Great! Just wait a moment and I'll go check on that guy while I'm getting ready."
Zhao Kuan lifted his long legs into the air and quietly entered the back room. The sound of the door to the back room opening could be heard, and then there was silence. However, it didn't take long for Zhao Kuan to shout "oh oh" from inside. Yi Mei stood up from the chair involuntarily.
"Hey!" Zhao Kuan shouted louder. It was not calling Yi Mei, but shaking Li Zhi, trying to wake her up. Li Zhi lay motionless in the darkness.
The shouting stopped, and with the sound of footsteps, Zhao Kuan came out. He stood at the junction of the living room and the back room, and said in a different voice than before: "Madam, come here. That guy's situation is a bit strange."
"What's wrong?" Yi Mei asked.
"She seemed to have taken medicine, but she didn't respond no matter how much I pushed her. She might be dead."
"Ah, really? No way..." Yi Mei was taken aback.
"Anyway, come and take a look."
Zhao Kuan looked panicked. Yi Mei followed behind him.
The quilt was half lifted, and a sharp-cheeked, twenty-one or twelve-year-old woman was lying there in pink pajamas. This is a woman with flat chest, slightly protruding cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. His eyes were closed. White vomit flowed from his open mouth.
Yi Mei held her breath and stared at the sleeping face. The woman was wearing makeup, so it was impossible to tell whether her sleeping face was earth-colored.
"It looks like she took half the medicine in the bottle."
Zhao Kuan knelt down and showed the bottle to Yi Mei under the lamp. The sound of pills shaking could be heard in the bottle. Zhao Kuan's face was a little pale.
"When did she buy this thing? I don't know at all. She drank it when I brought whiskey to Chen Bing's house, right? This guy who did something stupid couldn't have faked suicide, right?"
Zhao Kuan put down the medicine bottle and stood up, but he didn't seem to
Not sure what to do.
"When did you go to Chen Bing's place?"
"Almost two hours ago. No, a little earlier. That's when it was."
"Then it will be some time before she takes the medicine. It's better to call the doctor as soon as possible."
"What are you calling the doctor for?"
"Gastric lavage. If it can't be treated here, you have to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital."
"Ambulance?" Zhao Kuan glared, "I don't want to make the matter so big. Once the ambulance or something comes, the whole apartment will be turned upside down. From tomorrow on, I won't have the shame to hang around nearby."
"You are still saying this, what if a person really dies like this? You obviously discovered it, but you didn't notify the doctor, so the police will suspect you."
"It's really embarrassing. It's all Li Zhi's fault for causing such trouble. Of course, I know she is angry with me. So what do you think we should do?"
"There is no other way. Just call Chen Bing or Fang Da and we can discuss it later."
"Okay, let's do it. It's a good idea."
Zhao Kuan cheered up a little.
"As for me, I'm going back now, before those people come."
Yi Mei didn't want to be bumped into by others.
"I'm sorry. You finally came here once, but something like this happened." The pale Zhao Kuan apologized.
"Don't tell anyone that I've been here, absolutely not."
"Know it!"
"The same goes for Chen Bing and Fang Da. You must not tell them when asked by the police."
"The police will come too?"
"Even if it's an attempt, it's still a suicide, and the police may come."
"It's an ambulance and it's the police. You keep scaring me."
"Who allowed this to happen now? There's nothing we can do about it. But you have to keep my affairs secret."
Zhao Kuan looked at Yi Mei and nodded "Yeah". However, he immediately smiled brightly and put his crooked face closer.
#######
An hour after Yi Mei returned home, her husband Lu Xin came back in the company car.
"Ah, you came back earlier than me." Lu Xin looked at Yi Mei and said with a somewhat surprised tone, but a happy face.
"It was much earlier. I just walked around the street and came back. I wanted to listen to music and drink some tea somewhere, but there was no good place to go. There were young people everywhere, so I had to come back."
"That's right."
The husband walked into the living room excitedly. Yi Mei helped him change clothes. Perhaps because of drinking, the husband's face was red, his lower eyelids were droopy, and his cheeks were full of wrinkles. Under the jawbone, the loose veins of the throat are exposed. The skin on the back of the hands is curled up, and the legs are rickety. Compared to Zhao Kuan's young and elastic body, he looked like a foreign creature.
However, even with such a husband, Yi Mei is not dissatisfied now, but has a corresponding sense of comfort. It can be said that this is not only a sense of security that an older man brings to her, but also a sense of stability at home. She doesn't want to break up with her husband yet. She can break up with her husband, who is thirty years older than her, only after fully ensuring that she can receive appropriate compensation. Nowadays, I am a bit bored and my life lacks changes. I can only seek other entertainment channels to get rid of the suffocation. But those are just a joke. Targeting a twenty-four or five-year-old man who is younger than himself is also to make the other party aware of the gap between the two from the beginning. Yi Mei didn't want to cause endless trouble afterwards.
Lu Xin is seventy-seven years old this year. It would be very bad if he lived to be eighty or ninety years old. If you die at eighty, you will be fifty; if you die at ninety, you will be sixty. As a woman, she has entered an old age, and no one will care about her anymore. Yi Mei hopes that she can be freed from her bondage at least before she is forty years old or in her early forties. At that age, I can still do the job I did before, and there will be no problem in love.
