Revival Road

Chapter 24

When Sun Dunquan and Bao Xianbing went to the No. [-] courtyard, most of the spectators had dispersed.Sun Dunquan made a deliberate detour and took a lot of wrong paths.

It is actually not far from building No. 32 where Bao Xianbing’s home is located to No. 32 Courtyard where Han Ruilin’s accident occurred. From the 10nd floor, go south through No. 5 Courtyard. It takes only [-] minutes to walk, or [-] minutes if you run.But Sun Dunquan ignored Bao Xianbing's inquiry—what happened?Where are you going?

Sun Dunquan is more thoughtful than Bao Xianbing.Lu Qi said on the phone that Han Ruilin was blocked at Mu Guihua's house and asked him to go there quickly.He had fully understood what was going on.Regarding the rumors between Han Ruilin and Mu Guihua, even Yin Yutao, who has a relatively closed working environment, has heard of the rumors, and there must have been a commotion inside Red Star.Sun Dunquan knew Mu Guihua well and had heard some legends about her.When Cao Wendong passed away, he came to pay his condolences, and he knew that the woman was not authentic, just like Wang Liuer among the golden plums.Who would have thought that Han Ruilin would have an affair with Cao Wendong after she died, and something happened in the end.

Sun Dunquan dragged Bao Xianbing to Han Ruilin's house in Building 54, which was equivalent to half a circle around the family area.When we got downstairs to Han Ruilin's house, Sun Dunquan slapped his forehead, "Look at my brain, it's not here, it's in the fucking No. [-] courtyard."

"What are you going to do?" Bao Xianbing was completely confused.

Sun Dunquan then told Bao Xianbing the content of Lu Qi's phone call.Lu Qi had told him to keep quiet, but he grabbed Bao Xianbing instead.Without him, because he is extremely bad at handling such disputes.

"Hey! This is Han Ruilin, Section Chief Han." Bao Xianbing called out.

Apparently he had heard the rumors.Sun Dunquan said: "After all, I am a classmate. It is unreasonable not to help at this time."

"Who cares about this kind of thing? Except his wife..." Bao Xianbing muttered.

Indeed, it is not 40 years ago now, when men and women who had nothing to do with themselves avoided it.Moreover, Mu Guihua is still a widow.

When the two rushed to the No. [-] courtyard, there was no one in front of Mu Guihua's door, and a few retired old ladies gathered in the open space at the front of the house, discussing something.

"Don't go in, let me give Lao Han a try?" Sun Dunquan didn't want to go to Mu Guihua's door.

"Old Bao, who are you looking for?" A worker he knew came out of the public toilet and asked Bao Xianbing.

"I didn't find anyone..."

"Nonsense. Are you here to see a play? It's late, and everyone has left."

Luckily, Sun Dunquan didn't make a call, so he dialed Lu Qi instead, "Lu Qi, I came to the No. 54 courtyard, and I left... Lao Han? He must not have returned home, I am sure." He had just returned from No. [-] Come upstairs, if Han Ruilin goes back, he should bump into him, "Okay, I'll be at your command anytime."

Sun Dunquan dragged Bao Xianbing back to continue playing cards, "Old Bao, don't shout..."

"What am I yelling about? Keep it a secret? Keep it a secret." Bao Xianbing spat on the ground, "All the secrets are in the hands of the officials, and all the secrets are leaked by them."

"It's off topic."

"Don't worry, if you didn't drag me out, I wouldn't bother to care about these crap things. I love whoever I want, as long as my wife doesn't cuckold me."

……

Han Ruilin's scandal was like pouring ice water on Lu Qi's head.

Yesterday she came back from the clubhouse and stayed up all night.Fan Yongcheng had been waiting for her, wanting to ask about the situation, but she said that she had drunk too much alcohol, had drunk the sour plum soup that Lao Fan had prepared for her, and went to sleep alone in the study.

Lu Qi never expected that the person she hadn't let go of for more than 20 years actually loved her once.This discovery caused her great pain.She was still ignorant when she was in the Donghu clubhouse. When she was lying alone on the single bed in the study, the scenes just now flashed back clearly, especially Tao Tang's affectionate gaze, which made her feel a kind of love that she had never had before. pain of.

What is this called?I secretly like him, and he also secretly likes me?Two people who like each other don't know each other's thoughts?Didn't reveal his heart until the reunion 25 years later?Why didn't he write me a letter?And why didn't I write to him?God who kills people.

She picked up her mobile phone several times and wanted to send a text message to him who was hundreds of meters away, but she didn't know what to say.She expected that he would send a text message, but there was no word from Tao Tang.In the end, she still couldn't help sending him a message, asking if he was okay.Then he "sent" Yan Xiaoshan's "Partridge Sky" in the past by accident, implicitly expressing his state of mind.Unexpectedly, he quickly came back with a poem, but she had never seen it before. It should be written by Yan Jidao in terms of style, but there was no such poem in the [-] poems of Song Dynasty that she bought.

"Menghun is used to being unrestrained..." Does it mean that he always meets himself in dreams?Lu Qi was sad to death.

But when she got up she was completely calm.Start to despise yourself.While washing in the bathroom (she heard Lao Fan's familiar snoring), she cried silently. Knowing the reason, but she couldn't explain the reason, she simply locked the door behind her back and took a shower.

It's too late, let it all pass.It's enough to know that he cared about her so much, and she has already made up for the love in her heart, what more?He is already the boss of Red Star, and his status is precious, but it is enough for him to speak the truth after drinking, and he is worthy of himself.

After Lu Qi married Fan Yongcheng, until last night, she had never been attracted to any man.The society is like that, and Lu Qi, who thinks she can be included in the circle of red star beauties, has naturally been harassed in various ways, but she has resisted them all.There were two times that made her most embarrassed and upset. One was when she was a general cadre of the Enterprise Management Section of the Development and Regulations Department. The then director took her to a brother factory for an experience exchange meeting. Her skin is so good, I really want to kiss her.She was newly married at that time, and she was so ashamed and angry that she pushed the other party away and ran away.Afterwards, she worried that the director would give her small shoes, but she didn't.She was promoted to the chief of the enterprise management section, which is basically the credit of the director.She admitted that without the recommendation of the director, she would not have passed the very important hurdle.She also admitted that the director is a dignified person with no scandals, and that gaffe can be classified as immoral after drinking.But she never talked to the director about private matters outside of work, and she never let go of her guard.Now the director has long since retired, and he just nodded when he happened to see him in the factory.The second is that Luo Chong, the current immediate boss, has been plotting against her. She believes that it is not paranoia, but the truth.But she is no longer the newly married young woman she was back then. After half a lifetime of ups and downs, she knows how to protect herself. As long as she does not lie, he will never dare to use force, and he will not get a chance to use force.

She has always despised those rough men and women.But she suddenly discovered that she was also one of them.If Tao Tang had invited her to Xiaozhao last night, she would have followed without hesitation.If Tao Tang further reveals her love for her, she will also say what she has kept in her heart for more than 20 years.She knew exactly what would happen next.She is no longer a girl, not a young woman, but a middle-aged woman who has already been familiar with. The things between men and women, I have never done it, I have seen it, I have never seen it and I have heard it.

Did he hurt his heart by sitting in the front row first when he came back?she does not know.Some regret, some do not regret, very contradictory.

Without breakfast, Lu Qi went out to the office.

She vaguely hoped to meet him in the office building, but she didn't.The office building is quiet and no one is working overtime.From the window of her office, everyone who entered Building No. [-] could be clearly seen.Her eyesight has always been very good, neither nearsighted nor farsighted, which makes her proud.She stood in front of the window, thinking wildly, until the phone rang, and it was indeed Lao Fan who came, saying that she had an urgent matter to deal with and was working overtime.

There was no news of him until around noon.An inexplicable resentment rose from her heart, she began to scold herself, and then she went home.Lao Fan had already prepared a meal, and she ate very deliciously. After the meal, she fell asleep soundly, until Han Ruilin's phone call woke her up.

How could Han Ruilin do this?She understood it as soon as she heard it.Red Star is only this big, and scandals always seem to grow legs. She has heard the rumors about it a long time ago, and now she is in trouble.She couldn't go, so she called Sun Dunquan, hoping that Sun Dunquan would rescue Han Ruilin from Mu Guihua's house first.

Getting beaten is inevitable.Mu Guihua's younger brother, Mu Jianhua, is a well-known gangster. He was expelled for stealing public property for many years, became infected with drugs, and went to a drug rehabilitation center at least twice.What good results can there be from being blocked in the house by Mu Jianhua?

Immediately, Lu Qi felt as if being poured with ice water, feeling bone-chilling.She began to thank Tao Tang.

Fan Yongcheng kept asking what happened.She hates him the most. A man doesn't care about his career, and like a gossip, he always likes to inquire about and spread the news...

"Don't ask, it's so annoying."

Sun Dunquan's call came back, and Han Ruilin had already left, that's all.

"What's the matter? I think you look very bad."

This kind of news couldn't be concealed at all, so Lu Qi told Fan Yongcheng.

"Hey, this old Han," Fan Yongcheng and Han Ruilin know each other very well, "I still want to get Mr. Tao, that's good, it's good if I can keep my black yarn."

Lu Qi was taken aback. Thinking about it, it really was the case. Han Ruilin's wife was the second to have trouble with him. Just now, she was thinking about how Han Ruilin would pass his wife's test - if Mu Jianhua got into trouble in the factory, it is really possible to pick him off. Drop Han Ruilin's black hat - in Red Star's power structure, the deputy director of the legal office is not worth mentioning at all.

"To tell you the truth," it's rare that Lao Fan didn't gloat, "Let me tell you, I really told Lao Han not to hang out with that woman, but he didn't admit it, and he was anxious with me. Who is Mu Guihua? Few people know that he is a scumbag. I don’t know how many good friends there are, and Han Ruilin’s taste is really bad.”

Mu Guihua is actually pretty. Lu Qi thought of the woman who was on the cusp. Her skin was a little darker, but she had a good figure. She was tall and bulging, and she was quite sexy in literary terms.She should be younger than me...

"Han Ruilin, I really don't live up to it." Lu Qi remembered that Han Ruilin was drunk in the East Lake clubhouse last night. He should have come back in the morning, so why was he blocked in Mu Guihua's room in the afternoon?
The couple were talking, when Han Ruilin actually came.

"Lu Qi, you have to save me." Less than a day after we broke up, Lu Qi found that Han Ruilin seemed to have aged ten years.

"Old Han, what did you do?" Lu Qi was rude.

"Don't mention it. For the sake of your classmates, you must hold on to Shuijiao, otherwise she will destroy me..."

"Jiaojiao knows?" Lu Qi was taken aback.

"I don't know which bastard is full. She was in the city, she called back just now, and she is probably back now." Han Ruilin's face was full of pleading.

"Okay." Lu Qi felt that she couldn't refuse.

"Just say that I may be dismissed, and she will stop making trouble."

"You are very calm." Lu Qi couldn't help but sarcastically.

"I beg you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lu Qi rode a bicycle to Han's house. She and Shui Jiao were more or less intimate. Along the way, she was thinking about how to talk to the woman who must be very angry at this moment.I received a text message downstairs from Han Ruilin, and it was from Han Ruilin, "Thank you for your kindness. I hope you will speak kindly to Mr. Tao at the right time."

What a rascal!He didn't mention it in front of Old Fan, what do you mean?Lu Qi thought angrily.
