Chapter 61: A Desolate Life
It’s not too much to show off, but it’s the most deadly thing to show off invisibly.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Chu still didn't give up and raised his glass to ask, "Xiaofan, everyone is a classmate. Tell me the truth, have you bought the Wanli advertisement? My wife can't lie to me, and it doesn't seem fake."
The other party asked the truth, and Liang Xiaofan had to smile helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell you that I did acquire that advertising company. But that company lost money."
"Oh, that's right. I knew this was true, and I found out clearly." Xiao Chu was happy for getting the exact information.
Then everyone became lobbyists, saying that Liang Xiaofan is stupid and has a lot of money. He knew that the company was going to go bankrupt, but you were still a sucker. Someone even asked the truth, where did you make so much money? Can you take me with me?
Before Liang Xiaofan could explain, everyone analyzed it for him.
"I heard you sold your ancestral home?" asked the big guy Zhang Ming.
This really surprised Liang Xiaofan. He knew that it was a pity that they would not be spies, so he had to nod.
"Oh, I'm telling you are stupid!" Zhang Ming was excited about this major discovery again: "You sold your ancestral house and bought the advertising company with money. Now you've lost your money? Are you paying for it? You didn't have a loan, right? If you borrow, you'll be done."
How did Liang Xiaofan explain? He had to laugh. A person who came to the party on foot didn't look like a big boss. He didn't have enough money to sell his ancestral house to transfer the advertising company, so he must have borrowed private loans.
The squad leader Liang Wen took out a business card from his arms casually: "Xiaofan, I have to talk about you. Private usury is absolutely impossible. This is my business card. If you need any help in the future, just call me."
Liang Xiaofan took it and saw Qiming Law Firm, lawyer Liang Wen, who is good at economic lawsuits, criminal defense, contract disputes, etc.
This class reunion is more like Liang Xiaofan’s criticism and controversy. They all criticized him and said that he thought things too simple. Why are you so foolish in an advertising company that is on the verge of bankruptcy?
This is similar to what Liang Xiaofan expected. There is not much friendship in the so-called class reunion. Their sympathy is more about preaching and a little bit of superiority. Everyone feels like they are like prophets. Fortunately, they are not as powerful as high school reunion. The party ends quickly and Liang Xiaofan is leaving.
He had already seen what he wanted to see. Zhang Li. He didn't expect that the school beauties would become like this now. She was more like a fair woman. She was completely gone from the plain purity of the past, which disappointed him.
And he became the target of criticism from the crowd. Fortunately, they did not seem to have much malice, but were more sympathetic to him, which gave Liang Xiaofan a little relief.
Everyone left the hotel and went home.
They basically drove here, but after drinking, they called the designated driver. Liang Xiaofan said goodbye to everyone and walked along the road to the east.
"Xiaofan, wait for me." A person behind him called him, Zhang Li.
Liang Xiaofan was stunned: "Do you live nearby?"
Zhang Li ran over with a smile and nodded: "Well, it's not far away."
It's all like this, let's go together.
This is what Liang Xiaofan hopes for, the school beauty, the dream lover that many people were obsessed with back then.
But now, Liang Xiaofan has no interest. Time is really a killer. The charming woman in front of him makes it difficult for him to connect with the youthful and energetic Zhang Li in the past.
"You are married?" Zhang Li asked first before Liang Xiaofan could speak.
Liang Xiaofan smiled and nodded: "Well, it's over, where are you?"
Zhang Li seemed a little disappointed, and she said "Oh": "My daughter is all three years old."
Then she stopped: "I'm here." She pointed to a residential house not far away.
Liang Xiaofan was shocked. There was a shanty town. Many houses were assembled with iron sheets and asbestos tiles, which was in chaos.
"You, you live here?" Liang Xiaofan asked.
Zhang Li lowered her head and felt a little ashamed: "We rented this place. Can you keep it a secret for me?"
In her eyes, Liang Xiaofan's situation is not better than that of himself. She can take her with her because she is not afraid of being joked by herself.
Liang Xiaofan nodded: "Yes, it will."
"Thank you, I know, you are the most honest and kind among the classmates."
Liang Xiaofan's heart moved: "How do you know?"
Zhang Li smiled sweetly: "I remember, you saved an old man in college. There were so many people at that time, only you went over and helped him up, right?"
Memories surged up like a tide. Liang Xiaofan clearly remembered that an old man fainted in college. In this era of helping him or not, Liang Xiaofan was the first to rush up because he was a poor man, and barefoot man was not afraid of wearing shoes. You can just cheat him.
Then Liang Xiaofan suddenly remembered that the old man was the guy who sold his own house and allowed him to get the system later. That's right, it was him!
Could it be that there is God's will in the dark? Huai Chuanchuan must know something about this, and he must go and ask him when he turns back.
A drunkard, carrying a bottle of wine, came to a tin house and kicked the already stormy door, "Open the door! Open the door, where are you going to die!"
Zhang Li looked back and looked a little unnatural: "I, my husband is back, I'll leave first." Without waiting for Liang Xiaofan to answer, she ran over.
The drunkard was probably her man, and he finally saw Zhang Li: "Stinky girl! Whose wild man has you dressed up like this? Open the door for me!"
Zhang Li lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word. She hurriedly took out the key and opened the door. A little girl of seven or eight years old ran out of the door. The little girl shouted sleepyly: "Mom."
Zhang Li picked her up and kissed her. The man cursed again: "Stinky girl, hurry up and go in and cook two side dishes for me. I want to drink!"
Liang Xiaofan was a little unacceptable for a moment. This world is so fucked. Everyone has their own difficulties in life, but he never expected that Zhang Li would be so down and out. Too much, she even married a scumbag.
Every family has their own problems. Liang Xiaofan is not a saint, so he can't help them more, so he had to sigh.
Huai Chuanchuan had already driven the car at some point. He looked at Liang Xiaofan, who was a little crazy and shouted: "Master, you're in the car."
Liang Xiaofan came to his senses. After getting in the car, he asked the first thing he said: "Say, does the old man who sold me a house know me?"
