Uncle's Crisis

Chapter 24 She Is A Pawn

"If you have a wicked heart but no guts, pull it down!"

"Fool!" Pang Hongzhu scolded, with a different afterglow in her watery eyes.

Out of the corner of the eye, there was a flash of electricity, which hit Gao Zhiyuan.

He suddenly became flustered, and hurriedly said along the topic: "No, I drink too little, and I have to vomit after drinking too much."

"Are you afraid your wife will blame you?"

"No, she doesn't care about my private life."

"Bragging!"

Gao Zhiyuan couldn't help feeling weak for a while, and hurriedly covered up and said, "It's not bragging, she doesn't care about my affairs."

"why?"

"Because I can trust the unit."

"If you don't brag, you will die! Alright, hurry up and eat, the steak is cold." Pang Hongzhu said, picked up the knife and fork and started to eat.

After eating a few mouthfuls, seeing Gao Zhiyuan staring at the plate in a daze, Pang Hongzhu began to teach: "Learn hard, watch carefully, right hand knife, left hand fork, hold the end of the handle, yes... yes, that's all."

Gao Zhiyuan struggled to cut off a piece of steak, chewed it slowly, and couldn't help feeling a sense of inferiority. It seemed that he was really behind the times, and compared with Pang Hongzhu, he was a generation behind.

Pang Hongzhu realized something, raised his glass, touched Gao Zhiyuan, and said, "I'm just superfluous, you already know how to use a knife and fork."

"Are you afraid of hurting my self-esteem? Let me tell you, it's okay, I have thick skin."

"How thick is it?"

"It's almost as thick as pigskin." Gao Zhiyuan said, took a sip of beer, and then watched Pang Hongzhu tilt his neck and drink the beer.

This woman is indeed different, she exudes a special charm, which makes me irresistible.And this feeling has never appeared in Yu Meijuan.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly!" Pang Hongzhu put down the wine glass, a shyness that was unique to women appeared on her face.

Gao Zhiyuan said, "I'm searching."

"Search for what?"

"Search memory."

"What do you want to find?"

"I want to find our old stories."

"Have it?"

"Maybe there is! Otherwise, how could it be so familiar?"

"Didn't I tell you that when you were dating my sister, I hid behind the bushes next to me. I could see you, but you couldn't see me."

"No, I must have seen you."

"That may be the fate of the previous life."

Gao Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I don't believe in fate. I guess I must have seen it somewhere before. After all, Jiyuan is a small city."

Pang Hongzhu shook her head, her expression suddenly darkened, "Impossible, because I left Jiyuan a long time ago."

"At that time, you were just a yellow-haired girl, where could you go?"

"Go to Xinjiang."

"Have you been to Xinjiang?"

"Yes."

"Why did you go to Xinjiang?"

"Enlisted in the army."

"Why did you go so far away?"

"Yeah, at that time I just thought about flying as far as possible."

"why?"

"One is to escape, and the other is to revenge."

"Why do you want to escape? Who are you taking revenge on?"

"Escape from family, revenge on parents."

"why?"

"Because of them, no, it's my dad to be precise."

"You mean Mr. Pang? Why do you want to take revenge on him?"

Pang Hongzhu sighed, reached out to grab a can of beer, and gulped it down.

After drinking it, he crushed the beer can and threw it aside.

That posture is simply a big sister.

Gao Zhiyuan wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

"Forget it...forget it, let's not talk about those shitty things." Pang Hongzhu shook her head, her expression turned cloudy in an instant.

"Yeah, the bitter melon is already rotten, why bother to pick it up and taste it?"

"Drink, come, cheers!"

Pang Hongzhu clinked glasses with Gao Zhiyuan and drank it down.He picked up another can of beer, poured it into the glass, and asked Gao Zhiyuan, "Do you still want to hear my sister's story?"

"Yes, what happened to your sister after that?"

Pang Hongzhu held the wine glass in his hand and played with it casually, "To put it bluntly, my sister is actually a pawn."

"A pawn?"

"Yes."

"I do not understand what you mean."

"The story behind it is too bizarre, you can't think of it." Pang Hongzhu blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, and said, "She is a pawn in my father's hands."

"What do you mean?"

"My father has a heart of stone. He not only used my sister to get rid of the difficulties she was facing, but also got a turning point in her career."

Gao Zhiyuan was confused and asked her: "At that time, your sister was only a girl in her 20s, how did she get involved in the right and wrong of adults?"

Pang Hongzhu glanced at Gao Zhiyuan and said, "You are not the same, you were also stirred into it."

"Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen, please explain clearly, what's going on?" Gao Zhiyuan frowned.

"At that time, I was in the third year of junior high school, and I didn't know anything about what happened. It wasn't until later, when my mother was dying, that I told the whole story."

Seeing that Pang Hongzhu was a little sad, Gao Zhiyuan raised his wine glass and touched her.

Pang Hongzhu drank the wine in the glass, and then said: "Gao Zhiyuan, let me tell you a word of conscience, until now, I still feel sorry for you from time to time."

"So sorry for me?"

"Yes, especially from the current situation."

"What are you sorry for me?"

Pang Hongzhu smiled sadly, and said, "If you didn't worry too much at that time, took a long-term view, and accepted my sister with open arms, you wouldn't be Gao Zhiyuan today."

"Not Gao Zhiyuan, who could I be?"

"Maybe it will be an important member of the head office, or a senior executive of the provincial company, or the leader of the branch company at the last."

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Is that necessary?"

"It feels like you're smiling a bit badly."

"Nonsense!" Pang Hongzhu simply opened two cans of beer, handed one to Gao Zhiyuan, and said, "We're already good buddies, let's drink for ourselves."

Gao Zhiyuan grabbed it in his hand, and a feeling of warmth passed through his heart.

"Okay, since you admit that we are good buddies, then tell me what happened at that time."

"Forget it, I don't want to talk about it."

"No... No, you have aroused my desire, so hurry up and say all the words you swallowed, hurry up!"

Pang Hongzhu poured wine into her glass and said: "Didn't you enlighten me just now, let him pass the past, and uncovering the scars will only hurt."

"I'm numb, I'm not afraid of pain."

Pang Hongzhu picked up the wine glass, slowly turned it over, and said: "To be honest, that incident is the pain of my whole life. It is difficult to numb it. It weighs heavily on my heart, and I have never let it go."

"Say it, it's easy to say."

"Gao Zhiyuan, in fact, like my sister, you are a pawn in their hands, a pawn held between their fingers."

"I also became a pawn?"

"Ah."

"Where do you start?"

Pang Hongzhu took a sip of the wine, stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her lips, and said, "I know, there is one thing you are most concerned about."

"What's the matter?"

"My sister is pregnant."

"Yeah, why did she get pregnant before she was married?"

"What do you think?"

"Love is gone."

"No, she's never been in love."

"why?"

Pang Hongzhu sighed, and said, "Not only was she treated as a pawn, but also as a tool for expediency."

"Tools? What tools?"

"Not an ordinary tool."

"what is that?"

"Surrogate, do you understand?"

"What?" Gao Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "You mean your sister... she is pregnant with someone else's child?"
