In the next few days, I almost became a social idler, traveling back and forth between Changsha and Hengyang, but it wasn't that I had nothing to do.
I did bring in a few business deals for Yan Su and Chen Mo, some of whom were high school alumni and some were business friends.
Although business is business, no one really takes those fragile friendships seriously.
However, if one has sufficient strength and offers a fair price, then the so-called personal connections will become more valuable. Even if they are just a formality, both parties will understand the importance of courtesy. After all, mutual benefit is the foundation of cooperation.
During this period, I even went to the fishing grounds and fished for two hours. For a strong man like Wang Tian, driving a car and fighting is no problem, but asking him to sit down and fish with peace of mind is almost worse than asking him to die. Even if he just sits down quietly to accompany the fishing, he can't stand it.
Some people enjoy fishing, while others find it torture.
"There's a boxing gym nearby, why don't you go there and fight for a while," I said with a smile, "Come pick me up in two hours." Wang Tian hesitated for a moment, but still listened to my suggestion. Fishing really took his life.
After he left, I sighed softly, lamenting the friendship I thought we had.
After setting the fishing line, I put in some bait and then quietly watched the float. The water surface was calm, but dark waves were following it.
The desire for revenge is burning in me, but reason tells me to stay calm. Being impatient often leads to bad things. Once that desire is exhausted, how can I find a fulcrum?
"After all, there's still some moisture," I sighed inexplicably, looking at the lake surface where the storm had not yet begun.
It was like the life of a retired cadre. While fishing, I was reminiscing about the past. The image of my father-in-law and the few conversations we had came to my mind.
In fact, in the past ten years, I haven't had many opportunities to sit down and chat with him. Either he is busy with official duties or I am busy with business.
"Father-in-law, when you retire, where do you want to go and what do you want to do?" I once asked this question.
"There are so many places I want to go, but going abroad is rather troublesome. Given my status, even if I retire, my travel abroad will be restricted. I'd rather travel around the country. There are many famous mountains and rivers in my home country, and there are many places to visit.
"But the most important thing is to accompany Jiahui. I'm so busy most of the time, and she always has to give in to me. I feel sorry for her," said the father-in-law thoughtfully. "As for what to do? Drinking tea, playing chess, growing flowers, fishing... and helping Jiahui with housework. In the past, when she asked me to help, I would avoid it whenever possible.
"What about you and Yingying?" Strangely enough, I remember everything my father-in-law said, but I forgot how I answered him.
I vaguely said a lot. Maybe there were too many places I wanted to go and too many things I wanted to do, but I really can't remember them now.
Bai Ying…When I think of my wife, yes, she is still my wife, I do feel a little depressed. Although my words are blurred, her figure is engraved in the sea of consciousness. Even after not seeing her for a year, it is still so clear.
Wearing a clean dress, she was like a holy white lotus, but the roots of the white lotus were deeply rooted in the muddy pond, dirty and smelly, just like the smell left on her by Hao Jianghua. "Plop!" I suddenly lifted the fishing rod, then smashed the rod head into the water, pressed one hand on my chest, took a deep breath, until the strong emotional catharsis returned to calm.
Watching the ripples suddenly appear on the water, slowly unfolding, I wonder if the waves are just like my mood.
I thought I didn't love you anymore, I thought I didn't care, but in the blink of an eye, I changed my mind and I couldn't hide the voice in my heart.
Women can lie, but men can deceive too. I can deceive others, but I cannot deceive myself.
Where does longing come from? The voice flowing in my heart is only audible to me.
Holding your hand and growing old with you, I ended up breaking my promise.
"We'll meet again sooner or later, right?" My eyes were a little blurry and there was a slight bitterness at the corners of my mouth.
It is better to forget each other than to support each other.
Since we can't support each other, how about we forget each other? Forget each other? Can I forget? Forget everything that happened in the past? No, it's impossible, and I... don't want to! "I'll wait for you to come back." With a tender expectation, I grip the fishing rod again, "I... am not in a hurry." It is indeed impossible to forget each other. Clearly resentful, yet unable to let go of love? Is there still love? It's ridiculous, a true irony.
So...if you love each other, then kill each other.
Two hours passed in my mind, and I didn't catch a single fish.
I wondered if it was the bait, my poor fishing skills, or perhaps even the fish sensed my sadness? I felt a subtle pity for myself, yet also a deep sense of self-hatred.
When Wang Tian came back and saw my empty fishing box, there was a smile in his eyes as if saying, "See, I knew fishing was a waste of time." I didn't think much of it and put away my fishing gear.
When I was leaving, the boss offered to give me a few fish as a gift. He likes anglers like me who can't catch any fish, but he's also worried that I might not catch any fish and won't want to come back again. Giving me a few fish as a gift is his way of keeping me as a customer.
I politely declined and just replied, "I'll come back next time."
Sitting back in the car, Wang Tian couldn't help but say, "Will you really come fishing next time?" I smiled faintly and said nothing.
Fishing, take the bait.
What if you don't want to? The prison net has been cast, so how can any fish slip through?
Compared to my leisurely fishing, the Hao family compound was a little less peaceful.
In front of Li Xuanshi, Xu Lin and others, Hao Jianghua called Wang Shiyun to his side and snorted coldly: "Not only did you attend the banquet held by Zuo Jing at the villa, but you were also his dance partner. Were you dancing happily?!" Wang Shiyun looked up at Hao Jianghua. She didn't quite understand. She had actually reported to Li Xuanshi, and Hao and Li should have communicated with each other.
"Not saying it means you agree. No wonder. You must be very happy to receive a diamond necklace." When Hao Jianghua said this, he suddenly raised his big hand and slapped Wang Shiyun hard in the face.
"Pa!" A solid slap. With Hao Jianghua's strength, the slap made Wang Shiyun dazed. She could hardly stand and her cheeks soon became swollen.
Because of applying too much force, marks quickly appeared on the skin of the originally fair and tender face.
This slap was so unexpected to everyone, except He Xiaoyue who watched everything calmly.
She showed Hao Jianghua the videos and pictures she had taken at the venue and explained the whole process.
Of course, it was at my instruction that He Xiaoyue gave a detailed description of Wang Shiyun, even adding some exaggeration, deliberately guiding Hao Jianghua to think in a certain direction.
As for the part involving Li Xuanshi, she did not reveal a single word, as otherwise it would easily get her into trouble.
If it was just dancing, Hao Jianghua wouldn't get angry, even though he was certainly unhappy.
But when He Xiaoyue showed him the video and specially captured pictures, how could he not be angry?
Especially when He Xiaoyue deliberately emphasized how beautiful the necklace was, saying it was more expensive and better-looking than the one he bought for Wang Shiyun, Hao Jianghua could no longer sit still.
"Master, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not," He Xiaoyue said, but then acted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Go ahead," Hao Jianghua said in a deep voice.
"I was thinking about her and the eldest young master... oh no, Zuo Jing..." He Xiaoyue quickly corrected her "gaffe", "Will they have cat pus?" "Cat pus? What do you mean?" Hao Jianghua frowned.
"Master, what kind of person do you think Zuo Jing is? He had the guts to stab you three times a year ago. Now that he's out of jail, you really don't have any thoughts about it?" He Xiaoyue continued, "Maybe because of his wife, he's no longer extreme, but he's always unhappy in his heart. Even if he starts a company, there's no need to hold a banquet at the villa." "Zuo Jing, this kid wants me dead, but it makes sense for him to choose here. His company is closest to the villa," Hao Jianghua responded, but he was thinking that without real evidence, it would be difficult for him to touch Zuo Jing, otherwise his wife would keep arguing with him, and besides, what about the deal with Deputy Mayor Zheng... In short, try not to anger his wife.
"Master is right, but... This is not the first time Zuo Jing and Shiyun have met. Suddenly giving her such an expensive necklace must be a problem." He Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, "Is Zuo Jing trying to pull Shiyun under his wing so that we can deal with you together?" "Pull her under? What a joke. Shiyun was fucked to death by me. She is about to divorce her husband. How could she betray me..." Although he said this, Hao Jianghua thought to himself that it was not impossible. Huang Junru certainly did not expect his wife to betray him. He should not be too self-righteous.
"I don't believe Shiyun would betray me either. I'm just too worried about your safety. Zuo Jing is, after all, a top student who graduated from Peking University... Well, come to think of it, Shiyun seems to be a talented woman who graduated from Peking University as well... It's not impossible that these two Peking University seniors and juniors are connected." He Xiaoyue paused, "By the way, Zuo Jing seemed to have invited her to eat steak when he came back from Beijing... It's strange, he even turned down lunch with his wife, but specially invited Shiyun, this..." "Enough!" Hao Jianghua interrupted her angrily. She decisively chose to shut up. It was almost enough. The rest depended on what Hao Jianghua thought.
Facts have proved that Hao Jianghua did make certain guesses.
He didn't believe that Wang Shiyun would betray him. After all, a woman who was toyed with by him would choose to surrender both physically and mentally.
Wang Shiyun would betray her husband for him, so what was Zuo Jing's reason? But… Hao Jianghua thought about the night he'd arranged for Wang Shiyun to accompany Zuo Jing. His original intention was to use Zuo Jing's womanizing to completely dissuade Bai Ying. Wang Shiyun's subsequent feedback indicated that it had failed… but had it really failed? If she had succeeded, she would have slept with Zuo Jing, or perhaps Zuo Jing had slept with him. In that case, she would have been hiding something, even deceiving him. What would that mean? Hao Jianghua couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. Then he thought about the next day. Indeed, if it had failed, then there must have been some rift between her and Zuo Jing. Why had Zuo Jing invited her to dinner the next day? And with a dress and a necklace? Was Zuo Jing so preoccupied with someone else?! Yes, Xiaoyue was right. Wang Shiyun and Zuo Jing were both Peking University graduates, so why couldn't they hook up? She and Zuo Jing should have more topics to talk about than herself. Besides, she and Bai Ying were 70% similar. Zuo Jing had been locked up for a year, so could he really control himself? It was unlikely.
As for Wang Shiyun, she actually didn't want to seduce Zuo Jing in her heart, but who knows whether it's true or not? Women always have a lot of tricks to deceive men. When he was fucking these women, their acting skills were better than those of female stars.
Maybe Wang Shiyun is actually happy to accompany Zuo Jing. She has always thought that she is just a substitute for Bai Ying, so she wants to seduce Zuo Jing to prove herself.
Maybe she succeeded, or maybe Zuo Jing had slept with her. That bastard Zuo Jing was at least eighteen, though nowhere near as big as himself. But he needed to treat Wang Shiyun equally, and he had been somewhat perfunctory with her, partly because she was giving him less and less pleasure. Hao Jianghua saw it as a possible alliance between Zuo Jing and Wang Shiyun: the maniac, who, because of his infatuation with Bai Ying, treated her as a substitute, and the resentful woman, who blamed Zuo Jing for forcing her into this, and who happened to satisfy her sexual needs. This could also explain Zuo Jing buying her a diamond necklace; it was worth the money! While this was only a possibility, he had to be vigilant. Hao Jianghua decided to punish Wang Shiyun, even if it was also possible that Zuo Jing was deliberately stirring up trouble.
So Hao Jianghua followed the plan and slapped Wang Shiyun hard.
Li Xuanshi frowned slightly. The slap from Hao Jianghua was indeed unexpected. When she came to her senses, Wang Shiyun had already been hit.
I couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, but I didn't say anything.
Everyone knew that Wang Shiyun was her most capable subordinate, and Hao Jianghua's slap was also equivalent to slapping her, but she did not scold her.
In the Hao family, Hao Jianghua is the head of the family.
In order to maintain the so-called big family, Li Xuanshi established many rules. In fact, it was also to declare her position as the queen. Naturally, she had to take care of Hao Jianghua's face. This was also her responsibility as a wife. After all, Hao Jianghua was her husband, and Wang Shiyun was originally found by her as a substitute for Bai Ying.
It's not that Wang Shiyun is not important. On the contrary, her value to the company and even Hao Jianghua is actually very high.
If it was a tie, Li Xuanshi would definitely defend it immediately, but Wang Shiyun and Zuo Jing have been too close recently, which even makes people feel uneasy. Since Hao Jianghua wants to be the bad guy, she might as well be optimistic and play the role of peacemaker when things are almost settled.
Wang Shiyun did not do anything extreme. Instead, she looked calm and just glanced at someone indifferently, with a slight loneliness in her eyes.
Others thought that she felt lonely because she felt wronged, but only Xu Lin understood her loneliness, which was really disheartening.
"I've finally come here, what's the point?" Xu Lin said lightly, "Old Hao, if Sister Shiyun does something wrong, I'll apologize to you on her behalf.
"No matter how unhappy you are, I've already beaten her. If that doesn't work, you can go back and fuck her hard. I won't mind even if you fuck her to death... Just don't hit her in the face. If it gets hurt, you might not feel bad, but I do." Hao Jianghua felt upset. Seeing Xu Lin interfering like this, he was a little confused.
Xu Lin would never stand up for others and go against her own will, but since she said so, she still had to give her due respect. Xu Lin was far more important than Wang Shiyun, and she could even compete with his wife. If he were to take charge of the new economic zone plan, Xu Lin would be the one who could help the most.
"That's enough. Old Hao, are you going to show me your displeasure?" Li Xuanshi was interrupted by Xu Lin's words, and her original plan fell through. She could only add a sentence to give Hao Jianghua a step.
"Madam, you're joking," Hao Jianghua responded quickly, "That's enough, let's eat." The women quickly started talking and laughing again, trying to whitewash the peace in the Hao family compound. At the dinner, everyone had their own thoughts, and the storm seemed to be over.
"Why are you speaking for me?" Wang Shiyun stared at Xu Lin.
"I said I wanted to join forces with you," Xu Lin answered frankly.
"Do you think I will betray Hao Jianghua?" Wang Shiyun asked.
"Trust comes first, then betrayal," Xu Lin said meaningfully, "It wasn't you who betrayed Hao Jianghua, but she betrayed you, wasn't it?" Wang Shiyun said nothing, because this was indeed the fact.
"Have all your efforts and hard work over the years been worth it?" Xu Lin sighed, "Are you disappointed that she didn't protect you?" "Not disappointed, just a little lost." Now that her secret was known, Wang Shiyun had no need to deny it, "I'm just not quite willing to accept it." "That slap from Hao Jianghua was indeed sudden, but it wasn't my turn to say that just now." Xu Lin paused for a moment, "I thought she would come out to ease the situation, but she didn't." "She also has her difficulties," Wang Shiyun murmured.
"If even I can support her, given your relationship, she should have protected you," Xu Lin said with emotion, "difficult... who is making it difficult for whom?" Wang Shiyun was silent again. She could not answer this question.
After Xu Lin left, Li Xuanshi came over after a while.
"Chairman," Wang Shiyun said quickly.
"We're at home. You're not allowed to call me chairman. You have to call me sister or aunt," Li Xuanshi said with a smile.
But Wang Shiyun would not be so foolish as to call her aunt, even though it was right in terms of generation, women never liked to be called old.
"Sister Xuanshi, Grandpa..." Wang Shiyun hesitated.
"Why mention him? That old bastard was so ruthless when he hit her." Li Xuanshi stroked the red and swollen area on her cheeks, and then applied the boiled white eggs she brought with her to her face. Although it was a folk remedy, it was indeed effective for facial bruises.
"I, I'll do it myself." Wang Shiyun quickly took over, her slight shyness hidden under her swollen cheeks, making it difficult to be noticed.
"Actually, he's holding back his anger. Hao Xiaotian did something like this, and he still had to pay compensation and apologize. And you've been so close to Zuo Jing lately, how could he not be even angrier?" Li Xuanshi sighed, "Zuo Jing is my son. He couldn't lose his temper in front of me, so he took it out on you.
"Shiyun, I've wronged you." Wang Shiyun said nothing. Wronged? How could she not feel wronged? After years of dedication and endurance, it was just a casual remark, but... she couldn't say it out loud. She felt the warm touch of the egg noodle, as if it was the spring breeze that blew into her heart many years ago.
However, she also understood that the Li Xuanshi in front of her was no longer the gentle and respectable beautiful teacher, and she was no longer the little girl with aspirations.
My initial thought may have been a feeling of gratitude, or perhaps it was that hidden emotion that made me go forward without looking back.
After being tricked by Hao Jianghua, he wanted to call the police and send him to prison.
But when Hao Jianghua knelt down and begged for forgiveness and Li Xuanshi pleaded with him, she softened her heart.
If it weren't for Hao Jianghua's kneeling, no matter how much the old dog said or did, she would have been determined to accuse him of rape. But when she opened her mouth, her throat could no longer speak, and tears blurred her vision.
"Shiyun, I liked you the moment I saw you. You are very similar to my daughter-in-law Bai Ying, so we have a close relationship..." "I didn't expect Old Hao to treat you like this. He just likes you too much, so he chose to drug you..." "I know I don't have the face to plead for his forgiveness, but he is my husband. If you call the police to arrest him, then I..." At that time, she should have thought it through. From the moment she met the teacher again, she planned to dedicate herself to this old dog Hao Jianghua.
Indeed, she possessed the same stunning beauty as Bai Ying, yet she became a gift to her teacher. She still had that beautiful face, so why was she so filthy on the inside? "Chairman, have you ever thought about leaving Hao Jianghua?" I had asked myself more than once.
"I've thought about it, but it's too late. I can't leave." Li Xuanshi's eyes were filled with sadness.
Can't leave? As long as you want to leave, how can you be unable to leave?! It was with this thought in mind that I wanted to save her heart, just as my teacher had cared for the most tender part of her heart.
But, in the end, I just thought it was too simple.
It's like trying to persuade a loved one to stop taking drugs by trying it yourself to show them that they can quit, but the end result is that you end up falling into the same trap as them.
Even though my heart was filled with disgust and resentment, my body developed a sense of dependence on it.
What cannot be shaken off is not Hao Jianghua, but the shackles that one has imposed on oneself.
I can't save her, I can only accompany her into oblivion.
Even if he was eventually consumed by desire, at least he still wanted to help her and protect her, so he gradually had no way back.
At first, she catered to Hao Jianghua just to share her burden, but later, when she played the role of Bai Ying, her emotions were distorted and she was immersed in desire, and she couldn't extricate herself.
As soon as Hao Jianghua opened his mouth, she agreed. Since she had agreed, she could only obey.
If she couldn't leave Hao Jianghua, he couldn't leave her, and naturally he couldn't leave Hao Jianghua, and he would never be able to leave the Hao family compound or the Hao family ditch.
Teacher, you are right, you can't leave, and I can't leave either.
It is like making a rope to tie yourself up and trap yourself in a cage. That's all.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Xuanshi's words interrupted Wang Shiyun's thoughts.
After receiving the news that Wang Shiyun was beaten, He Xiaoyue might have been secretly proud, but I didn't think it mattered. Xu Lin's timely control of the situation prevented it from becoming too embarrassing. However, everyone could see that Wang Shiyun would not have an easy time in the future. At least she would be neglected for a while, but this did not mean that He Xiaoyue would be able to rise.
Tengkong went to the Haojiagou Golden Tea Oil Company. Of course, he took advantage of Li Xuanshi's presence to visit Wang Shiyun to show his presence and apologize for involving her in the disagreement between Hao Jianghua and me.
Wang Shiyun smiled faintly despite her empty words and insincerity. Even though she was lonely, she was still a smart person.
"You did it on purpose," Wang Shiyun said, "You were deliberately trying to provoke Hao Jianghua." "Half and half," I denied. "I expected to provoke him, but that was not my main purpose. I'm not that bored." "But if you had the chance to hate him, you wouldn't let it go," Wang Shiyun said.
"On the other hand, he would do the same, like Bai Ying, like you, and like her... You can't deny that a considerable part of his sexual interests is out of disgust for me." I said coldly, "He takes pleasure in humiliating me. Compared with the methods he used on you in the past, I was just making a small joke at most. It's not too much, right?" "Not too much." Even Wang Shiyun had to admit that Hao Jianghua did like to play with women, but he liked to play with Zuo Jing's women more, or women related to Zuo Jing. Hao Jianghua did not hide this kind of self-satisfaction from humiliating specific people.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Does it still hurt?" I asked.
"It feels much better after applying the egg," Wang Shiyun said, "I got a necklace and a slap, so I'm not too bad." I smiled faintly and placed the gifts in front of her. Of course, I didn't do it with my hands: "I bought the facial cream and concealer specially. You, Director Wang, are the face of the tea oil company, and your image is very important." "Thank you," Wang Shiyun said without refusing.
Perhaps because of Hao Jianghua's slap, my relationship with her seemed to have taken a step forward.
When I came out, I met an old acquaintance. Although we were old acquaintances, we weren't close friends.
When "Brother Zuo Jing" saw me, she naturally couldn't pretend not to see me.
"You are..." I deliberately made a suspicious look, "Do we know each other?" Her face froze, but she didn't know how to answer. It can be seen that this somewhat introverted and shy girl is in an awkward atmosphere.
"Just kidding, how could I not know you?" I suddenly laughed again, "You are Hao Yan, the younger daughter of Hao Fenghua?" "Brother Zuo Jing, do you still remember me?" Hao Yan blinked her eyes, a little surprised.
"It's been a long time since we last met, but I still recognized you at first sight." I looked at Hao Yan. She had bright big eyes, a pigtail, and a small outfit with green floral patterns. Girls change a lot when they grow up. Unlike the rustic girl I saw at the Haojiagou wedding that year, Hao Yan is now very graceful.
In fact, she only has regular facial features, which appear well-proportioned, and a decent figure. She seems to have not inherited any of the ugly genes of the Hao family.
The Hao family is also weird. From old lady Hao, to Hao Fenghua, Hao Jianghua, and the younger generations, they are all ugly. Only Hao Xuan and Hao Sifan inherited Li Xuanshi's beauty genes and can be considered improved products. Hao Yan is probably the outlier in the Hao family. Although she can't be too real, she can barely pass the test of beauty. If she puts on more makeup, the effect should be even better.
"By the way, why are you here?" I asked casually.
Li Xuanshi has never allowed members of the Hao family to work in her company, even though Hao Yan is a good person, she still cannot allow this opportunity.
"My third brother...that's Hao Jie, you still remember him, right?" Hao Yan explained, "He recently got a girlfriend who runs a flower shop in Changsha, and she's thinking of finding a place in Longshan to open another branch. My third brother is very interested, so he wanted me to find my second aunt." "I understand, it's probably because the girl wants to open another branch. Maybe with just that, Hao Jie encouraged her to open a shop in Longshan.
Firstly, because it is located in Hengyang County, it is easier to establish relationships, and after all, it is close to home.
Secondly, the Hao family is now capable and can take care of things in Hengyang County." "Hao Jie, this kid, has a very active brain. He is obviously a literary youth who writes, but he is also good at calculating." I couldn't help but chuckled, "In Longshan, the store is easy to solve and the cost is small. Maybe with the help of Hao Jianghua, he can open another branch in Hengyang City in the future. Then he should find Hao Jianghua. Why did he let you come here?" "The third brother's idea is to ask the second aunt first, and the second uncle "Working in the government, you may not be able to see them, and even if you do, it may not be easy to talk to them." Hao Yan continued, "In our family, only my second aunt and I are close and can talk to each other, so I came to ask." This is true. Li Xuanshi does not like the Hao Fenghua family very much. Hao Hu and Hao Long are not easy to deal with. Hao Jie is indeed a literary youth, but he once had a crush on Bai Ying, especially those literary love poems to express his feelings. Among several women, because of the joke, Hao Jianghua and Hao Xiaotian were very dissatisfied.
In their minds, Bai Ying was probably the woman they valued most besides Li. Could she tolerate Hao Jie? As for Li Xuanshi, she didn't want Bai Ying to be targeted by others again. It would be bad if there was any more trouble in the Hao family, so naturally, she wouldn't be happy about it.
"I remember you were working outside?" I asked again.
"I've already resigned. My father is not in good health, so it's better for me to be closer to home," she replied.
"Well, my company has just opened and I'm looking to hire an office assistant. Are you interested?" I offered.
"Office assistant? Can I do it?" Hao Yan hesitated for a moment. She dropped out of school to work, and she couldn't handle too complicated work.
"It's just a name. Usually I just run errands, print documents, organize files and so on," I explained. "You can consider it. Although the salary is not high, it's still relatively easy." "Then can I see you every day?" Hao Yan quickly said, "That's not what I mean. I..." "Every day, it's very difficult. I don't go there often," I replied with a smile.
Hao Yan thought about it and finally agreed. She glanced at me and then trotted away. Looking at her brisk steps and humming a little tune, I didn't need to pay too much attention to her little thoughts.
A black Mercedes-Benz came roaring towards me with no intention of stopping. Instead, it rushed straight towards me. It didn't swerve until it was almost in front of me. With a sharp friction sound, the car finally stopped.
The security guard at the door ran over immediately. Hao Yan's face was stunned with fear. Even the office building was alarmed. It was the sudden turn of the steering wheel, the drifting tail and the high-speed braking, and the loud noise of the tires rubbing against the ground that broke the tranquility of the tea oil company in the past.
At this time, someone got out of the car, carrying a crocodile skin briefcase. Everyone was looking at him coldly. A woman also got out of the car. She was Cen Xiaowei.
Cen Xiaowei looked at me nervously but didn't come forward. She hadn't forgotten my teachings; it wasn't the right time yet.
Especially when Hao Jianghua is present, she cannot come in front of me.
At this moment, my focus wasn't on Cen Xiaowei, but on the old man in front of me, holding a briefcase: Hao Jianghua! Enemies often see eye to eye, but I was surprisingly calm.
This kind of calmness was incredible even to me, but I did control my emotions and calmly examined this man.
Seeing him again at the end of the year, it seems that not much has changed, except that he is a little more aggressive, and of course, he still has that unchangeable rusticity.
After all, he was born into a peasant family, and he doesn't look like a prince even when wearing a dragon robe. He is already a deputy county chief, but his demeanor when holding a bag is not as good as that of a village chief. He also has a mouth full of rotten yellow teeth. I really don't know how he treats people.
Of course, this is not insignificant and will not affect my revenge on him.
"The tires slipped, didn't scare you, did they?" Hao Jianghua sneered, "You didn't even try to dodge, so I thought you would pee your pants." "I didn't dodge because I was leaving you a chance, but you were useless," I sneered, "How did it feel to stab you three times?" "You little bastard, you did it on purpose to piss me off," Hao Jianghua glared at me, "How dare you come here?" "Why not? This is not your home, and even if it is the Hao family compound, I "You are not qualified to stop me even if you want to go." I smiled faintly, "Don't forget, the Hao family compound was built with the money of my Zuo family. Even if you become the deputy county chief, you are just an old dog she raised in the final analysis." "You!" Hao Jianghua strode forward, rushed in front of me, and grabbed my collar: "If you have the guts, say it again, believe it or not, I will kill you!" I just smiled faintly. There was no need to respond to him. Someone would help me out.
She couldn't sit still because of the drifting sound and the loud noise of the tires rubbing against the ground.
"Hao Jianghua, what are you doing!" Li Xuanshi showed up as expected, with a cold face and glaring eyes, "Let my son go!" "Madam, listen to my explanation... It was that bastard who made me angry..." Hao Jianghua quickly let go.
"Who are you scolding, you bastard?" I said casually.
"You bastard..." Hao Jianghua suddenly came to his senses. This was a threat to him, and he gritted his teeth.
"Alright, everyone, go away. What's the point of all the fuss?" Li Xuanshi raised her eyebrows and dismissed everyone with just one sentence.
The conflict between Hao Jianghua and Zuo Jing was deep-rooted, and she was well aware of it, but her gaze fell on the deep brake marks on the ground, and the anger in her eyes grew even stronger.
"Madam..." Hao Jianghua showed his typical big yellow teeth and smiled. "Pa!" A loud slap, and Hao Jianghua's smile froze instantly.
Not long ago, he had slapped Wang Shiyun, and now he was slapped by Li Xuanshi. He was stunned and almost forgot to react to the pain.
I was also slightly stunned. This was indeed unexpected.
"Jingjing, go and get busy," Li Xuanshi suddenly said.
After sending me away, Hao Jianghua came up to her and covered his cheek lightly: "Madam, you hit me pretty hard." "If it wasn't hard, will you remember it?!" Li Xuanshi pointed to the deep brake marks on the ground, "Tell me, how do you explain this?" "Madam, I just wanted to scare him," Hao Jianghua complained.
"Scare him? Can you scare him like that? If you can't control yourself, it will come true!" Li Xuanshi stared at Hao Jianghua, "Normally, no matter how you play or how crazy you are, I cooperate with you. What else are you dissatisfied with? I am your wife, but I have to support a whole family of women for you, even Bai Ying... I can tolerate all these, but it does not mean you can do whatever you want." "I married you and gave birth to children for you. I think I have done my best for you. For the things you did, I deserve to be killed ten times. What else do you want!" Li Xuanshi wiped away her past weakness, "If Zuo Jing wants to deal with you, considering that we are husband and wife, I will do my best to protect you. This is my promise.
But don't forget what you promised me, otherwise the consequences will definitely be something you don't want to see." Hao Jianghua's face turned pale and blue: "Madam, are you threatening me?" "I'm not threatening you, on the contrary, I'm saving your life!" Li Xuanshi said in a deep voice, "After Zuo Jing was released from prison, he went to Beijing and met Bai Xingjian and Tong Jiahui.
I just want to tell you, if something really happens to Zuo Jing, with Bai Xingjian's ability, can you withstand the investigation? Don't forget, Zuo Jing is still their son-in-law, and you don't have Bai Ying as a talisman to save your life now." "Even if Bai Ying is not here, I still have..." Hao Jianghua was a little unconvinced.
"Just relying on the things in your hand?" Li Xuanshi sneered, "You only use it to scare Bai Ying. Do you dare to expose this thing? Believe it or not, Bai Xingjian will be the first to kill you! Bai Xingjian cares about his daughter, but he cares more about the reputation of the Bai family!" Hao Jianghua said nothing. He knew that what his wife said was true. With the abilities of Bai Tong and the others, let alone him as a mere deputy county chief, even Zheng Qunyun was nothing more than a stronger ant. Only when he became an official could he understand the horror of power.
"Madam, I really just wanted to teach Zuo Jing a lesson," Hao Jianghua could only flatter, "He stabbed me three times and deliberately angered me, how could I not react?" "You deserve it, you have to bear with it," Li Xuanshi exhaled a foul breath, "Even though you had the upper hand in the beginning, but now we are in the same boat and can only work together.
If you die, I can't run away, so I will protect you. Besides, you are still my husband and the father of several children." "He is the only one left in the Zuo family. I want him to live well. This is my bottom line." Li Xuanshi's eyes were secretly determined. "If you dare to touch Zuo Jing, I will fight you to the death, even if we die together!" "Then, what if he refuses to let me go?" Hao Jianghua asked.
"You are my husband and the father of our children. If Zuo Jing insists on dealing with you, then I will have to make a choice!" Li Xuanshi raised her eyes and looked into the distance. There was nothing in her sight, like the hope she could not see, like a dream, silent in the wind.
There are many choices in life, some of which can be chosen multiple times, but some can only be chosen once.
Some choices are wrong and you can start over, but some choices are wrong and you will regret it forever.
But no matter what, once the choice is made, it is indeed only up to each of you to bear it. No matter how much regret, hatred, or resentment you feel...what can be changed?
Hao Xiaotian was filled with regret, hatred, and resentment.
When he thought of the two girls and their promiscuous sex life, he felt extremely depressed.
If it weren't for those two bastards, how could he have been caught in the act? They actually put all the blame on him. And since he was itchy and stinging down there, he must have been infected by them. What a fucking bastard! Hao Xiaotian became more and more angry and resentful. He applied the ointment he bought from the pharmacy. It was said to be made from Chinese herbal medicine to relieve itching. After applying it a few times, he did feel a little cooler, and it seemed to be less itchy. Although it would recover after a while, it was nothing serious. He could just apply it again.
Hao Xiaotian was really too careless and optimistic. Compared to the concealed tone when buying medicine, he didn't know that the local doctor also had the wrong idea.
The main reason was that Hao Xiaotian's words were unclear and he used the excuse of buying something for someone else. The local doctor thought that the itching was caused by the elders in the family not paying attention to hygiene, so he just gave him some panacea to deal with it perfunctorily.
The so-called panacea is that no matter what kind of physical abnormality you have, rubbing it on yourself will indeed make you feel cool and relieve symptoms. However, it actually has no therapeutic effect at all and will instead delay treatment.
The local doctor would never have dreamed that the medicine was actually bought for him by Hao Xiaotian. If Hao Xiaotian had been more honest, he would at least have reminded him to go to the hospital quickly.
Hao Xiaotian applied it for several days, but the condition recurred. Although it was not as itchy as before, scratching those areas would secrete some liquid, which had a fishy smell.
He took a shower in the bathroom and gave his crotch a good wash.
He used cool water because hot water would be more harmful to a scratched wound.
Although his hips were a little messy and shabby, Hao Xiaotian had the illusion that everything was getting better, especially when his little cock was erect and shaking a few times, he didn't forget to sigh.
The "abstinence" set by Hao Jianghua and Li Xuanshi really suffocated him. At this age, people are most obsessed with sex. As long as their bodies can bear it, who doesn't want to have sex and ejaculate seven or eight times a day?
Whether one is physically fit or not is a different matter, it mainly depends on one's passion and desire for sex.
"Master Xiaotian, does your room need cleaning?" Alan walked into the room and heard the sound of water spraying in the bathroom. Several nannies were taking care of Hao Li's children. She was too idle to do anything, so she came here to take a look.
"Alan, you're here at the right time. Come in quickly and suck my dick." The itching on Hao Xiaotian's side was relieved, and listening to Alan's soft voice, he couldn't help but become lustful.
"Master Xiaotian, the master and the mistress have told you to abstain from sex and not let us have sex with you." Although they had all played with Hao Xiaotian before, they did not dare to disobey Hao and Li.
"What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here. If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, who will know?" Hao Xiaotian said, "How about this, I won't fuck your pussy, but I will play with your tits. Then you lick my cock and let me cum inside, otherwise I will say bad things about you to my parents.
"It's up to you." "Okay then." Actually, Alan was not willing to serve Hao Xiaotian, mainly because he was just a little kid. Although he liked to play with women, his little dick could not be compared with Master Hao's big dick, it was barely one-third of it.
The sisters also often complained that every time they were pestered by Hao Xiaotian, they had no choice but to agree to do it, but it was always neither up nor down, and they were not happy at all.
But he is the crown prince of the Hao family. They can't compete for his favor in front of him like He Xiaoyue and Cen Xiaowei, unless he chooses one of them in the concubine selection game. So they can only think of ways to start with Hao Xiaotian.
As soon as Alan walked into the bathroom, Hao Xiaotian straightened his hips and shook his little cock: "Sister Lan, come here and lick me, lick it well!" He was fantasizing about the feeling of being served by humans.
Ah Lan's breathing quickened, his eyes suddenly widened, he took two steps forward, looked carefully, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he quickly stepped back, looking panicked.
"What's wrong, Sister Lan?" Hao Xiaotian was surprised by A Lan's reaction and planned to step forward.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!" Ah Lan shouted. After keeping a safe distance, she suppressed her uneasiness and disgust and said, "Just stay in the room. I'll go report to Sister Xiaoyue first and wait for Madam to deal with it." As she spoke, she hurried out.
Not long after, He Xiaoyue received a call from Alan, who told her what she had witnessed.
In fact, given the seriousness of the matter, it should be reported to the master and his wife immediately. However, due to the Hao family rules created by Li Xuanshi, Alan, who is at the end of the symbiotic chain, can only report it to the life manager He Xiaoyue or the wife's secretary Wu Tong first.
"What?! Are you sure?... Have you looked carefully?!" He Xiaoyue, who was somewhere in the villa, was shocked when she heard Alan's report. She asked more questions on the phone and listened carefully to Alan's description of the symptoms in that area of Hao Xiaotian. In fact, her conclusion was similar to what Alan had predicted.
"Okay, I'll report this to the old lady, so you should stop messing around... By the way, tell your sisters to stay away from Hao Xiaotian. Don't get yourself into trouble just to win his favor." After giving instructions to Alan, He Xiaoyue put down her phone and sighed, "Hao Xiaotian... seems to have a bad disease." Bad diseases used to be metaphorical diseases that were difficult to describe in men and women. Now, various diseases involving sexual intercourse, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and AIDS, can be counted as bad diseases.
"That should be the case. The two girls he had sex with at school seemed to be quite promiscuous. A student posted this to the group chat, and the seniors' group also got wind of it." I responded casually, of course not saying that this was the result of my arrangement. I glanced at He Xiaoyue and said, "Continue massaging." Before Alan made the call, He Xiaoyue was massaging my shoulders. I specifically pointed out the omissions and mistakes she had made in the profit-taking process at the villa. This student, who benefited greatly, gave the hard-working lecturer a massage out of gratitude to stretch her muscles.
"I should report this matter to Mr. Li immediately," said He Xiaoyue.
"Press it first and call again. The thing has already happened, why rush?" I said coldly.
He Xiaoyue did not object and obediently continued to massage my shoulders. It was not until half an hour later that she called Li Xuanshi.
Li Xuanshi was stunned for a moment on the phone, then said nothing and hung up.
In the Hao family compound, Hao Xiaotian was at a loss as to what to do. He had no choice but to put on his clothes. On the way, he met several nannies and maids, but before he could ask any questions, they avoided him as if they were the plague.
Hao Xiaotian didn't know that Alan had already informed the women in the compound. At a time like this, they must stick together. If they keep it secret and don't remind them, they will be hated in the future. But now she easily gained a wave of favors, and from then on, no one would rush to curry favor with Hao Xiaotian anymore.
It's like encountering an AIDS patient on the street. Even if he's just a carrier, as long as people around him know about it, they'll immediately stay away from him. This has nothing to do with whether it's contagious or not. It's an instinctive reaction of self-preservation. Rejection, exclusion, exclusivity... the essence is to preserve oneself. Who would willingly put themselves in danger?
When "Mom" Hao Xiaotian saw Li Xuanshi coming back, he hurriedly greeted his "Xuanshi's Mom", but was immediately treated coldly.
The warmth and kindness of the past, the close and tender interactions between stepmother and stepson, now vanished from her icy face. Instead, her eyes vaguely resembled those of those women: rejection and... disgust! "Just stay here. Don't run around. Wait for your father to come back and follow his instructions!" Li Xuanshi said grimly.
A few minutes later, Hao Jianghua came back in a hurry. He had just finished paying the money to Zheng Qunyun to smooth over the spread of the Hao Xiaotian incident, and was planning to further discuss the new economic zone, but he received a call from Li Xuanshi.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!" Hao Jianghua slapped Hao Xiaotian several times and kicked him a few times.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Hao Xiaotian rolled on the ground, saying in pain.
"Don't call me dad. How could I have a son like you who has to clean up your mess all day long!" Hao Jianghua was furious. "I told you not to think about playing and study hard, but you didn't listen and just thought about fucking. You were only sixteen and you got a sexually transmitted disease from playing. If this gets out, how can my Hao family face anyone? You bastard, I'll beat you to death!" "Alright, I'll talk about it after the beating and scolding. Think about how to deal with the aftermath," Li Xuanshi said in a deep voice. "Call the county hospital. Keep it confidential." "I've already called on the way, and the dean will arrange it personally." Hao Jianghua also knew the importance of priorities. No matter how big a mess this brat caused, he was still a member of the Hao family and his son. He had to take care of him, deal with the aftermath, and clean up his mess.
After arriving at the hospital, in the special ward, the chief physician carefully examined Hao Xiaotian's crotch and penis.
"Director Ke, what's the result?" Hao Jianghua asked in a low voice in the inner room.
"What is certain is that he has gonorrhea, and it is complex gonorrhea, a complex condition that is rapidly worsening. He already has severe symptoms of pus and erosion, and must receive immediate treatment," Director Ke adjusted his glasses. "Through questioning, we found that he was probably infected by his sexual partner. It must be urethritis and vulvar adenitis. Now the patient's urethritis has spread to the corpus cavernosum, and is complicated by lymphangitis and unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymphadenitis. The preputial glands are also inflamed and abscessed... Moreover, he secretly used the wrong medication, which aggravated his condition." "Then, is it curable?" Li Xuanshi asked.
"Although gonorrhea isn't as deadly as syphilis, it's still a serious STD. Especially in his case, he should have sought medical attention immediately. Instead, he's been taking medication recklessly, delaying his condition," Director He sighed. "We can arrange for him to be admitted to the hospital for a detailed examination. I'll give him some medication. In the best-case scenario, he'll recover. However, because it's a combined infection and he's taking the wrong medication, in the worst-case scenario... are you willing to undergo excision surgery?" Excision? Hao and Li were stunned.
"Director Ke, you mean to remove his penis? Wouldn't that make my son a eunuch?" Hao Jianghua cried, "He is only sixteen years old. My son can't be a eunuch!" "Don't get excited. It won't be a complete removal, so the penis is still there and he doesn't have to be a eunuch," said Director Ke. "Unless it is completely necrotic, the entire penis needs to be removed. Judging from the examination, medication can be effective in treating it. However, he has erosive symptoms near his urethra, so in order to protect the corpus cavernosum, it still needs to be removed when necessary." "What's the difference between removing the glans penis and removing the entire penis? He is no longer a complete man," Hao Jianghua said anxiously.
"If the glans is removed, at least half of it is back and it can still be used, right? If it's completely removed, it's gone." Director Ke felt a little annoyed. The sixteen-year-old son of an official was really fucking disgusting. He deserved to be infected with this disease, but as a doctor's professional ethics, he remained calm. "If it's completely removed, you'll need to implant an artificial urination system and carry a urine bag with you to urinate. The body smell will be very unpleasant. If you leave half of it, apart from a slight impact on sex and a disharmony, urination will be fine.
Of course, what I said is just a possibility. Maybe the drug treatment is effective and he doesn't want to get to this point." Although the possibility is... very low, he didn't say this out loud. From the perspective of maintaining harmony between doctors and patients, we still have to leave some hope for parents.
Director Ke thought so.
