"Eiko, Eiko."
Huang Zhitao called twice but received no response. He sighed heavily and turned around: "Yingzi is angry."
"Then I have no choice but to blame her for making careless friends."
Lin Yue thought to himself that this was the opposite of the TV series.
In the episode of the TV series where the Fang family moved to Shuxiang Yayuan, it was revealed that Fang Yifan gave Lin Lei'er sleeping pills. Qiao Yingzi, a petty iron man, wanted to clear up the relationship and put Fang Yifan in order to live in the same community as the class flower. The thoughts came out, causing the Fang family to panic.
Fang Yifan here did not consider Qiao Yingzi's interests in order to stimulate Li Meng. These two are really old-fashioned ice sculptures. Everything turns into water when the sun shines.
Lin Yue said: "I know that Fang Yifan has been pestering you. What he did just now was without your consent in advance. You won't blame me, right?"
Huang Zhitao shook his head.
"When it comes to acting skills and commitment, Qiao Yingzi is far behind you." He waved to her: "Okay, I'm leaving. It's cold outside, so go back early."
As he said this, he turned around to leave, but before he took half a step, Huang Zhitao held his hand from behind.
"What you just said to Tong Wenjie..."
"depression to luck?"
She shook her head.
"Is that because you want to plead for Lin Lei'er?"
She shook her head again: "You said that I...I am your girlfriend."
"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
"But I...I...I really...like you."
Lin Yue had "a look of astonishment", and then "a dumbfounded look on his face".
"Tao Zi, do you think of me as Ji Yangyang's replacement?"
"No." After the confession came out, she was no longer nervous: "At first, I struggled with your hot and cold mood for a long time, but as January entered, I became more and more sure that it was not just a whim. Every weekend, I thought about you and you. Wang Yidi will be so sad when reviewing homework together that he can't study peacefully. Whenever Fang Yifan says something bad about you, I want to tear his mouth apart. And you and Qiao Yingzi, I don't know that you are going to and from school when you are acting. I would avoid her, because every time I think about your relationship with her, I get very anxious, and then I vent my anger on her. I even think that this sister doesn’t do anything, at least out of sight and out of mind, so I’m sure , my liking for you has nothing to do with Ji Yangyang."
"..."
Lin Yue knew that Huang Zhitao was interested in him, but he didn't expect that this little girl was very affectionate.
As the saying goes, it is better for the fish in the world to retreat and build a net. However, if you can control your love for a person with reason, there will not be so many licking dogs in the world. This thing actually has the Matthew effect, and there will be no shortage of women to take the lead. Son, the more you attract women and the more you rush to please them, the more you will be disliked...
For example, the more generous and uninhibited a prodigal you are in your circle of friends and posting about doing various activities with high-quality female friends, the easier it will be to attract the attention of women.
"So, you just made Wang Yidi angry on purpose, right?"
Huang Zhitao was honest: "Yes, I did it on purpose."
"Are you so sure she likes me?"
"I think...this is a woman's intuition."
Lin Yue said: "First, you are in your senior year of high school now. I hope you will spend all your energy on studying and get into a good university; second, Fang Yifan is right. I may have helped Xiaomeng too much and got involved." Her life is too deep and the situation is very complicated. I don’t know how to deal with the relationship with her. The key is that she doesn’t force me. She seems to want to maintain the status quo. Others at least have multiple choice questions to do, but I can’t even take the questions here. There is no chance, so whether it is your side or mine, it will take a while. If you insist on me giving you an answer now, I think... I may have to imitate Ji Yangyang. "
Huang Zhitao did not show disappointment or sadness, and actually accepted it calmly.
"I have time. The most important thing I don't lack is time..."
Lin Yue knew what she meant, and this was actually what Xiao Meng said.
This past Spring Festival, Xiao Meng was 36, and she was only 19 years old. It would be no problem for her to wait for five or six years, but Xiao Meng didn't have that much time to spend with her.
As for why she was so calm, it was probably because he and Qiao Yingzi acted as lovers before, which inoculated Miss Tao Zi. The relationship between her, him, and Xiao Meng was much simpler than the previous relationship between her, him, and Qiao Yingzi. .
"What would you do if Ji Yangyang came back suddenly?"
"He was the one who proposed breaking up in the first place."
"..."
Lin Yue sighed.
Huang Zhitao pretended to change the subject easily: "Can you accompany me to the inn to get something?"
"no problem."
She came over obediently, took his arm and walked forward together.
Lin Yue smiled and said nothing.
Compared with Huang Zhitao, Wang Yidi's scheming is far behind.
Well, a girl whose parents are abroad and has lived alone for three or four years, a girl who has been living in an ivory tower...
…
"Yingzi, what are you doing? Do you know that your father is worried about you?"
Before Qiao Yingzi entered the house, Qiao Weidong greeted her.
She walked into the living room and took a look at the master bedroom. She found that it was dark and Song Qian seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Don't you know what I did?"
Qiao Weidong looked embarrassed. Come on, you can guess what she went to do.
"He didn't do anything to you, right?"
"No."
Qiao Yingzi didn't say anything about being slapped by him.
Qiao Weidong wanted to go to her, but Song Qian stopped her and told her to go to 602 to make trouble. With Lin Yue's temper, he might give her a few slaps in the face and let her know that she could use her elbows to turn out and plot against her parents with outsiders. What will happen.
"You are hungry, dad will make some noodles for you."
"I do not want to eat."
Qiao Yingzi walked straight to her room. Qiao Weidong wanted to enter the room to say a few words, but she pushed him out ruthlessly.
"I want to sleep."
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
"Eiko, Eiko."
Qiao Weidong did not dare to speak loudly and called softly at the door twice. Seeing that his daughter ignored her, he could only walk away silently and returned to the living room to stare at the reflection on the window in a daze.
When things got to this point, while he hated Lin Yue and Xiao Meng, he also felt a little bit of regret. In order to see his daughter a few more times, he could endure Song Qian's efforts. Now he can see her every day. It's true. The feeling is very different from what I imagined.
Let’s just talk about today’s matter. Yes, he was also very angry and felt that his daughter had gone too far. But looking back, if Song Qian had agreed to her attending the Nanda Winter Camp, would she still act with her enemy? The daughter was also forced into desperation before making this decision.
The key is that he doesn't dare to say it yet, Song Qian's temper will explode at the slightest moment.
In view of the fact that his indulgence has caused a serious decline in his daughter's grades, he has lost the right to speak on the issue of educating his children.
At the same time, Qiao Yingzi was lying on the bed, thinking that it would be better if she took a nap. After a nap, she might not feel depressed. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, the faces of Li Meng, Fang Yifan, and Huang Zhitao flashed through her mind. , one abandoned her to shirk responsibility, one betrayed her for selfish desires, one betrayed her for love, and Song Qian was heartbroken by her, and the cowardly and useless Qiao Weidong, who has been alive for more than ten years, has no one around him who can rely on him. .
She turned over over and over again, slapped her forehead over and over again, and told herself over and over to stop thinking, but it was all in vain.
Time passed as she tossed and turned, the minute hand turned round and round, and the hour hand moved one frame after another.
That night, she couldn't sleep.
…
January 12th.
The day after final exams.
Tong Wenjie put her iPad on the coffee table and tapped the connect button. After a short delay, Fangyuan's face appeared on the other side of the screen.
"Fang Yuan, can you see it?"
"I saw it, I saw it."
"Hey, what's going on over there? The screen is intermittent."
"The Internet speed in Africa is slow. In the past, it was all voice calls. It didn't feel too obvious. If you insist on video connection, it will definitely be stuck. This is thanks to the company's dedicated line. If it is placed in an ordinary family here, 2MB Do you know how much broadband costs? 1,200 RMB!”
"Oh, how are you in Africa? Is work going well?"
"Everything is fine, you know, wife, the seafood here is super cheap. Large lobsters that cost hundreds of yuan in China can be bought here for less than a hundred yuan. What about manta rays and groupers? You just need to go to the beach. Just one stop and someone will take you to buy it.”
"I heard it's not peaceful over there. There are a lot of thieves. You have to be more careful."
"How many times have you said this? It makes my ears tingle. Oh, by the way, Fang Yifan and Lei'er should have finished the exam. How did they do?"
"Fang Yifan, you also know that if I don't count down, I will burn the incense. Lei'er, I have confidence in him. He will be the first in the grade this time."
As soon as he finished saying this, before Fangyuan could reply, a prompt box popped up at the top of the screen, indicating that a call was coming in.
"Fang Yuan, I'm calling you right now and I'll talk to you later."
Tong Wenjie disconnected the video connection and put the phone to her ear: "Hey, who's there?"
After half a minute, her expression changed.
The call was from the police, saying that Fangyuan's parents were at the police station and asked her to go over and handle related matters.
Tong Wenjie was pounding in her heart. She didn't know what the couple had done and they were sent to the police station. She asked the police, but the police didn't explain clearly. They only said that Fangyuan's parents asked her to call her and that the details of the incident would be discussed in person.
After hanging up the phone, she thought for a while and didn't dare to tell Fangyuan about it. He was in Africa now and he wouldn't have been too anxious if he knew something happened to his parents. I think her parents-in-law also realized that water far away could not quench the thirst of people close by, so they didn't let her know. The police called Fangyuan and contacted her instead.
"Yingzi is being stupid. Song Qian wants to see me if she has something to do. There will be no video chat today."
Tong Wenjie sent a text message to Fang Yuan, telling Fang Yifan and Lin Lei'er to stay at home and stop running around. After finishing the work, she went downstairs as quickly as possible and drove to the police station where her parents-in-law were trapped.
The streets are dazzling with colorful lights and the flow of people is strong, which is already the New Year atmosphere.
She didn't pay attention to this and drove for about half an hour to the Deshengmenwai Police Station. After explaining the situation to the police officer on duty, she was taken to the room where her parents-in-law were.
"Dad, Mom, what happened?"
Fangyuan's parents were sitting on the left side of the desk with a gloomy look. When they saw Tong Wenjie coming, the sobbing old woman called "Wenjie" and hugged her and started crying.
"Mom, Mom, stop crying, stop crying, tell me what happened?"
Father Fang also shook his face: "Why are you crying? You still have the nerve to cry. If you hadn't been fooling around, would something like this have happened?"
It was okay that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, Mother Fang cried even harder.
"Wenjie, look at him... I don't want to share your financial pressure. Fangyuan has gone to Africa, how miserable that place is..."
"Officer, what is going on?"
Seeing that she could not get any useful information from the old couple, Tong Wenjie looked at the policeman who was holding a pen and writing materials. As a result, Lao Wang, who was sitting opposite and wearing a Hengyuanxiang OEM down jacket, spoke first.
"Your parents-in-law borrowed our money to raise funds."
Raising funds?
Raising funds is a serious crime. Tong Wenjie was stunned when she heard this.
"Is this... a mistake?"
"Old man, calm down, calm down first." When the police saw that the situation was not good, they quickly came out to smooth things over: "It's not really a fund-raising. It's just that your parents borrowed a lot of money from neighbors to buy financial products from MLM organizations. Yesterday, they received We went to the masses to report this, and our branch found out about this MLM organization that was engaged in illegal operations, so strictly speaking, they are also victims."
"MLM?"
"Yes, MLM. Didn't you see it when you came in just now? There is a row of people squatting in the corridor outside. They are all doing this."
Tong Wenjie suddenly realized, thinking that no wonder the police station was so busy. She thought it was approaching the New Year, and some gang of gangs of criminals who stole bicycles, batteries, steel bars, and manhole covers had been arrested.
"Why are you talking so much? It's natural to kill people to pay debts and pay back money. Now that you are here, help your parents pay back the money." Old Wangtou was very excited, and it was obvious that he was holding back his anger.
Tong Wenjie ignored him and looked at Fang's father and said, "Dad, how much money did you borrow in total?"
"Three hundred and six..."
"Three hundred and six?"
Mother Fang was cruel and said on behalf of her husband: "Three million and six hundred thousand."
"Huh? So many!"
Tong Wenjie felt a little dizzy and held on to the back of the chair to keep from falling.
Lao Wangtou pointed at Fang's father and Fang's mother and said: "The money they lent me alone was 200,000. It was agreed at the beginning that the principal and interest would be repaid in full in three months. But now that it's like this, I don't want the interest." You have to give me the principal. My wife and I are still relying on it to support our retirement."
Three million six hundred thousand.
Three million six hundred thousand.
Tong Wenjie didn't listen to Lao Wangtou's words at all. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that before Fangyuan went abroad, the old couple went to Shuxiang Yayuan and gave them 20,000 yuan in one go. She also said that even if Fangyuan didn't go to work, they would invest The income plus the pension can cover the family's living expenses. When I asked them what investments made them so profitable, they mysteriously mentioned FOF funds. Now it seems that they were deceived by a pyramid scheme organization.
It's no wonder that the couple has been worrying about Fang Yifan's affairs all day long, and Lin Yue, who always targets the Fang family, ignores the situation on the parents-in-law's side, leading to such negative consequences.
"Wenjie, Wenjie, what do you think we should do about this matter? Fangyuan is not at home, so only you can give us an idea."
Mother Fang felt guilty and did not dare to look at Lao Wang's head.
What did you say when you borrowed money? The interest rate is 2 points a month, and the interest rate for three months is 12,000 yuan. Now let alone repaying the principal, I can’t even get the interest.
"Comrade police, since my parents are also victims, should this money... be compensated by the MLM organization?"
"Since they dare to cheat, they have channels to launder the money. This thing can go to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the Cayman Islands, etc. Not to mention that the domestic police are beyond the reach. Even Interpol has no way to deal with these criminal elements. I think Want to get the money back? In the next life."
The person who spoke was not a police officer, but the voice sounded familiar.
Tong Wenjie turned around and turned extremely ugly when she saw the man standing at the door.
"Why are you everywhere?"
She never expected to see Lin Yue in the police station.
"It's simple, because I called the police."
He answered this question while walking inside.
"Do you know each other?" The policeman was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and explained: "Yes, it was classmate Lin Yue who provided the clue to the branch yesterday, and we were able to destroy this pyramid scheme hidden in Shibali Store in one fell swoop. "
If the police said this, it must be the truth. However, Tong Wenjie always felt that this incident was too coincidental and unbelievable.
"Surprise isn't it?"
Lin Yue said: "I think so too. You said that when I was wandering around Shichahai Park, I wanted to play chess with those retired old men on a whim. Let's just play chess. Why did I become a year-long friend with Hao Daguan?" , make friends just make friends. Why did he talk so much about someone asking him to borrow money to invest in financial products? The interest rate is 2 points a month. 2 points a month, which is 24 points a year. Borrowing money Let's make some profit in the middle. This financial product needs to earn at least 40 points a year to be profitable. What kind of financial product is so good? I like to meddle in other people's business, so I took it from the old man's mouth. I went over to observe the address of the investment company for a while. Haha, isn’t this the MLM organization that was exposed on the Internet and put on a seemingly legal veneer? I didn’t say that, as a good law-abiding citizen, it must be destroyed. This den is to uphold the dignity of the law, isn't it? I just didn't expect to meet you at the police station, Tong Wenjie, do you think this counts as enemies on a narrow road?"
The logical chain is clear and it sounds like there are no big loopholes.
"Mr. Hao found out that his life's savings were almost in vain. He developed high blood pressure in anger and is now admitted to Anding Hospital. He has no children and cannot come to the police station to handle this matter, so he asked me to act on his behalf." Lin Yuewang Tong Wenjie said: "Oh, by the way, do you know how much money your parents-in-law borrowed from Mr. Hao? 3 million, here, this is the loan agreement."
He took out the loan agreement and power of attorney and showed them to several people.
When Tong Wenjie heard that, she was stunned at first, and then her face changed drastically, because she remembered the conversation she had with Lin Yue downstairs in the community the day before yesterday. He threatened her to take 3 million yuan to avoid disaster. She said he was arrogant, and he said he would get it instead. No more "gifts" - no more embarrassment for Lin Lei'er about going to college.
Nothing had happened yesterday, and she was thinking of saying something to Lin Yue next time she saw him, such as "You talk like farts" and "I'm waiting for you to fuck me." However, just one day later, his threats were fulfilled. , 3 million, really came to collect debts.
"You bastard, tell me, are you colluding with them?"
Tong Wenjie had a ferocious look on her face, and like a madman, she picked up things on the table and threw them at Lin Yue. The policeman was shocked. Although they didn't know what the dispute was between the two, they couldn't watch her acting up in the police station. Hurry up and stop him.
"Let go, let me go, I want to kill him, I must kill this little beast."
She didn't know what Lin Yue did, but she was certain that he must have done something.
"Ms. Tong..."
"Ms. Tong, please calm down."
"calm down."
"This is the police station!"
The police roared and finally calmed the crazy woman.
"Ms. Tong, if you continue to be irrational like this, I will detain you for disturbing the peace and obstructing official business."
Looking at the stern-faced police officer, her sobbing mother-in-law, and her father-in-law whose mouth was twitching, Tong Wenjie sat down on the chair and finished speaking.
