Chapter 107 chapter 109
When Liu Bai came out of the hospital, he didn't go back to his home with Zheng Yimo, but went to the small hardware store opened by Zeng Yi.
After Zeng Yi's divorce, she finally saved a little money and borrowed money from relatives and friends to open this hardware store.
It's not too big, and the business is average, barely maintaining the basic life of her and Liu Bai.
Until Liu Bai and Zheng Yimo got together, and the money came in one after another, Zeng Yi's life was much more comfortable.
She refurbished the store, changed the original narrow environment, and had more business than before.
Everything seems to be going in a good direction.
Until Zeng Yi had an accident and went to the hospital, the store was closed for several days.
Standing in front of the locked gate, Zheng Yimo wondered why Liu Bai came here instead of accompanying Zeng Yi in the hospital.
But soon Liu Bai answered his doubts and turned on the surveillance in the store.
Zheng Yimo looked at Liu Bai flipping through the saved surveillance video, and remembered that he just looked up when he entered the door, probably looking for surveillance.
It's just that Zheng Yimo still doesn't understand, Zeng Yi didn't have a car accident at the door of the store, if she wants to find the vehicle that caused the accident, shouldn't she call the police?
The computer kept the records for about a week. At this time, Zeng Yi had already closed the store, and there were people coming and going at the door, but no one stayed. Liu Bai fast-forwarded for a while, then moved the mouse suddenly, and pressed pause.
Zheng Yimo saw in the unclear video, a man didn't just pass by like others, but stopped at the door of the store, and even took a look inside.
This person's face was a little blurry, but Zheng Yimo remembered it.
It was Liu Bai's gambling father who had come to ask for money.
It's just that he should be in City B, why would he come to Liu Bai's hometown.
Then Zheng Yimo suddenly understood why Zeng Yi hesitated to pursue the matter of the car accident, and why Liu Bai was asked to leave quickly.
It seems that this gambler didn't learn a lesson after his arm was discounted last time, but he didn't dare to look for Liu Bai again, so he could only come to bully his ex-wife.
Zeng Yi is different from Guan Qin, she is an ordinary and even somewhat traditional woman.
After Liu Xianyong became addicted to drugs, she still endured it for a long time, hoping to maintain the integrity of the family.
Even if someone who asked for money came to her door, or went to the place where she worked to make a scene.
She felt that for the sake of this family and Liu Bai, she could bear it.
Until the person asking for money appeared on Liu Bai's way to school.
Zeng Yi had a big fight with Liu Xianyong, and for the first time used a strong and resolute tone to her man.
However, Liu Xianyong not only did not have the slightest intention of knowing his mistakes or repenting, but beat her with his hands.
Zeng Yi finally broke down.
She chose to divorce.
However, after the divorce, Liu Xianyong seemed to have no worries, and his gambling addiction became more and more serious. He even started to set up a situation to encourage others to gamble with him because of losing again and again. The movie "Girlfriend" had just aired, and Liu Xianyong followed closely Arrived in city B.
Liu Bai also gave money a few times at the beginning, but Liu Xianyong's tone became more and more serious. Liu Bai obviously couldn't afford that much money, so he could only walk around him at any time.
After all, if the news of him having a gambling father got out, his career would probably come to an end after it had just started.
So after Liu Bai had Zheng Yimo as his benefactor, the first thing he did was to beg Zheng Yimo to help him solve Liu Xianyong's biggest trouble.
Liu Xianyong, who had suffered a lot, did stop for a while. For some unknown reason, he fell back into his old ways and found Zeng Yi.
Liu Bai, who went back to the hospital to take care of Zeng Yi that night, saw several scars on Zeng Yi's face, hands and legs, stopped pinching her legs, thought for a while and asked her: "Mom, Liu Xianyong asked you How much did you ask for?"
Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, then blinked slowly, struggled for a moment, and finally didn't hide it anymore, and admitted honestly: "He knows you are famous, and he saw that our store was redecorated, so he thought I had something in my hand. It’s a lot of money, so I asked for 200 million.”
Zeng Yi sighed and said: "How can I have so much money? He just wanted to make trouble in the store. I'm a woman, and I couldn't stop him, so I had to give him some. Who knew once, There will be a second time... Asking me back and forth that I have to leave 80."
80 million.
Liu Bai frowned tightly.
This was almost Liu Bai's call to Zeng Yi plus all her savings from doing business in the past two years.
Liu Bai really wanted to ask her "Why didn't you tell me", but quickly swallowed the words back, and asked after a moment of silence, "The car accident, is it related to him?"
Zeng Yi's fingers were digging on the bed sheet, she seemed to be a little terrified, and said slowly: "He asked me for money again, but I don't have any anymore... He was very angry, so he pushed me..."
Liu Bai's hands clenched instantly.
The anger in his heart came out in small strands.
He endlessly asks his ex-wife for money, and even uses violence. If he can't get money, he wants to harm others. Such a person has completely lost his morality and bottom line. Not to mention as a husband and father, he even Men don't even count.
Seeing Liu Bai's serious expression, Zeng Yi knew that he was angry, so she reached out and patted the back of Liu Bai's hand: "The past is over, anyway, it was still a family before, and he hasn't seen it again in the past two days. I've been looking for it, and I'm probably afraid."
Liu Bai lowered his eyes and smiled at Zeng Yi: "Okay."
Zeng Yi felt a subtle feeling in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was. She raised her hand, but then paused in mid-air.
Liu Bai seemed to be thinking about something, his face was dazed, startled by Zeng Yi's action, and subconsciously called "Mom".
Zeng Yi was stunned, and soon she continued to raise her hand and touched Liu Bai's cheek: "You have just gained some fame, so don't get angry with him, in case he—"
Zeng Yi did not continue, but unconsciously glanced at the door.
Zheng Yimo was standing there waiting for Liu Bai.
Liu Bai knew it in his heart, it seemed that Zeng Yi already knew about him and Zheng Yimo without him saying anything.
But it was normal for Zeng Yi to know.
If it was a simple relationship between the boss and the artistes of the company, how could he be so considerate to Liu Bai.
Zeng Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I've been with him for so many years, and I'm used to it, it's just a little wronged, it's nothing."
Liu Bai didn't comment, but moved his hands again.
Zeng Yi, who was accompanied by Liu Bai, seemed relieved a lot, and soon fell asleep.
Liu Bai looked at Zeng Yi who was breathing gradually, and walked out of the room softly.
Zheng Yimo looked at Liu Bai's obviously unhappy face, and wanted to say, "How about I let—"
Liu Bai shook his head: "This kind of person won't have a long memory if you hit him once. It's best to let him not come back again."
Zheng Yimo tilted his head: "This kind of person is hard to change, how can we guarantee that he will not come again in the future."
Liu Bai smiled: "Just let him not come."
The next day, Zeng Yi's small hardware store resumed business, but it wasn't Zeng Yi who was looking at the store, but Cheng Cheng, who seemed to be a little bully.
Cheng Cheng also warmly greeted all the neighbors around, introducing herself as Liu Bai's assistant, and specially helping him take care of the family shop for a few days.
The neighbors all knew that Zeng Yi's son had become a star, and they were much more enthusiastic about Cheng Cheng.
Even when business comes, they will come forward to help.
Cheng Cheng just sat in the store for a day.
Then someone came to the door.
Cheng Cheng watched the man stride into the store with arrogance, and came straight towards Cheng Cheng. Although he was not a person, his eyebrows and eyes similar to Liu Bai's, it is estimated that Zeng Yi suffered from Yan control when he was young.
Cheng Cheng pretended not to know, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, what do you want to buy?"
Liu Xianyong sized her up for a moment, and the advantage of his status made him fearless, and even quite proud: "Don't you know me? I'm Liu Bai's father."
Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately greeted obediently: "Hi Uncle, I am Teacher Liu's assistant, and this is mine—."
Liu Xianyong impatiently waved Cheng Cheng's hand to pass the business card: "Where's Liu Bai? Tell him to come out."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Cheng Cheng's face, and he stumbled and said, "He, he, I'm the only one here, and Mr. Liu is still staying in City B."
"Fart!" Liu Xianyong spat, "Something happened to his old lady, will he come and see? Did he dare not see me after making money? Tell him to come out to see me, or—"
Liu Xianyong smiled, with a rascal look on his aged face: "He understands in his heart."
Cheng Cheng showed distress, as if he was a little tangled, and finally said with difficulty: "Then I will contact Mr. Liu and try."
Liu Xianyong didn't move, he still stayed in the store, as if he wanted Cheng Cheng to call Liu Bai face to face.
Cheng Cheng had no choice but to call Liu Bai.
Liu Bai was extraordinarily straightforward and agreed to Liu Xianyong's request for a meeting.
Liu Xianyong couldn't wait, and immediately made an appointment to meet in an hour.
Liu Bai was actually near the market, not too far away, and was about to leave soon to meet Liu Xianyong.
Zheng Yimo hesitated.
Liu Xianyong can push Zeng Yi, who knows if he will give Liu Bai a knife.
Liu Bai smiled, and patted the back of Zheng Yimo's hand: "It's okay, if he had the courage, why would he only push my mother."
This was the first time Liu Bai met his "father". Although he had heard of his name early in the morning, he hadn't seen him until now, which showed that Liu Xianyong had indeed been honest for a while.
It's a pity he couldn't hold on.
Liu Xianyong raised his chin slightly, looked Liu Bai up and down, finally stopped on Liu Bai's expressionless face, and clicked his tongue twice: "Sure enough, this is not what it used to be. It seems that Zheng Yimo has treated you well."
Liu Bai leaned on the sofa, his posture was relaxed, he seemed very calm, he glanced at him, and opened his mouth and said, "I heard that your mother was in a car accident because of you?"
Liu Xianyong's expression changed in an instant: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can not talk indiscriminately. It is obvious that she accidentally fell down. It has nothing to do with me. I just want to support her."
Liu Bai curled his lips and smiled, and said again: "You still ask her to leave for 80 yuan?"
Liu Xianyong still refused to admit it: "That is what she is willing to give to me, and it is mine if she gives it to me. Do you want to go back from me as a son?"
Liu Bai was disgusted by Liu Xianyong's undisguised scoundrel for a moment, and suddenly remembered the Liu Bai in the book. Although he lived with Zeng Yi later, the disgraceful things he did were probably influenced by Liu Xianyong. Small.
"I won't ask you for the 80 yuan, not to mention you asked me to meet, don't you just want money? Tell me, how much do you want?" Liu Bai saw Liu Xianyong's body move, and the light in his eyes flashed, as if Very excited, before he could speak, he immediately added, "After this time, I hope you will never appear in front of my mother and me."
Liu Xianyong snorted, and sat down again. It seemed that he was still playing the score that had been pestering Liu Bai, and he said after a long while: "It is very painful for me, as a father, to see my wife and son for the rest of my life. Give me 1000 million."
Liu Bai was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Xianyong's appetite to be so big, he frowned and said, "You want too much, it's impossible."
Liu Xianyong looked at Liu Bai's unhappy face, and remembered that he used to pretend to be a tiger, relying on the position of the gold master, and even dared to beat his own father. , there must be no less, otherwise I will not only disappear, but I will tell everyone that you were taken care of by Zheng Yimo. There are many speculations about you on the Internet. If people know that you are such a person , it is estimated that there will be no way to get ahead in the future."
Liu Bai's face froze quickly, he suddenly raised his head and glared at Liu Xianyong, fisting with both hands, as if he cared about Liu Xianyong's words very much, and even wanted to give him a punch.
Liu Bai was silent for a moment, as if suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have that much money now, 300 million, can I give you 300 million first?"
Liu Xianyong cut it out, although it was far from 1000 million, but he was anxiously waiting for the money, nodded reluctantly, and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."
Biting his lip tightly, Liu Bai handed over the bank card very unwillingly.
"700 million," Liu Xianyong took a look in his hand, then raised his head and added, "One month, otherwise I will expose the fact that you were adopted."
"Understood." Liu Bai stood up with an ugly face, and walked out of the coffee shop first.
Liu Xianyong also hummed a little song at random, and went out in a happy mood.
But soon, the person sitting at a table near them also stood up. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and his eyes weakened his imposing manner because he was too tall, so he didn't look so conspicuous.
This person is naturally Mr. Zhang Xiaomin, an "enthusiastic citizen". He followed Liu Xianyong closely without making a sound.
Liu Xianyong took the money and didn't go home, nor did he find a place to withdraw the money like Cheng Cheng's family did.
He believed that Liu Bai didn't have the guts to lie to him, after all, he still had the braids in his hands.
So humming a song all the way, he turned into a somewhat chaotic village in the city, and by the way, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, happily calling who he was calling.
Zhang Xiaomin who was following him was not close to him, he could only hear intermittent voices drifting over, but he had already guessed the content of his call.
It's nothing more than saying that he has money, and he wants to start a gamble tonight, and he wants to make it back with interest.
I don't know what was said there, Liu Xianyong listened to it for a while, and waved his hand indifferently: "This matter is easy to talk about, isn't it just to recruit a few more people, the few I recruited last time are not enough for you Did you earn it?"
As Liu Xianyong said, he stopped in front of a hairdressing salon that was about to stay in the aesthetics of the last century, and shouted: "It's here, I'll go in and talk about it."
After all, he pushed open the broken door and got in.
