Modern-day overworked individual Huang Ling binged the TV series "People in the Alley" and then read the novel. Exhausted, she was then sent away by a road-rage driver on her way to work.
Chapter 537: Taken the Hook
"What's wrong, acquaintance?" Wei Zhixin asked.
"Ah, no." Zhuang Ganmei shook her head.
In fact, Zhuang Ganmei knew this person. He was Li Xiaoxiang, the son of Pan Yuexiang, the blind date introduced to her by Zhuang's mother.
The conversation inside was still going on, with the door half open, and the conversation attracted all of Zhuang Ganmei's attention.
"I never heard you talk about your father. I thought he was dead!"
"Chen Shimei, your father abandoned your mother"
Li Xiaoxiang's companion asked.
Li Xiaoxiang drank the wine and told his friends:
"He was from Suzhou, and was sent down to our area and married my mom. When he was able to return to the city, he tricked my mom into getting a divorce and ran away. For several years, he didn't send a penny or come back to see her. Only then did my mom realize she had been tricked, and she brought me to find him.
He lives a comfortable life! He has a job, a new wife, and a fat boy. It's as if my mother and I never existed."
"What a piece of shit!" his friend was filled with indignation.
"There are many such cases. We have relatives like them. There are also female Chen Shimeis who left their husbands and children behind and returned to the city," said another friend.
"Yes, yes, yes... Then your mother brought you to Suzhou to cause trouble for him!" someone asked.
"Of course! My mother was a beautiful girl from the surrounding area. She married him because he was educated. After he left, my mother and I were stared at and scolded countless times. My uncles thought we were shameful and kicked us out. So we had no choice but to come to him!"
"My mother went to his workplace and cried. He was afraid of the negative impact, so he gave her some money. I don't know the exact amount, but I know it was a lot. My mother said it was for me to start a small business and get married in the future," Li Xiaoxiang replied.
"Then why don't you change your name and still use that Chen Shimei surname?"
"You don't know this, right? My mother is afraid that I will take her surname and people will know that I don't have a father and suffer in the outside world. Secondly, my surname is Li, which means I am the descendant of the Li family! I want everything his son has in the future!" Li Xiaoxiang raised his chin with a proud look on his face.
"That makes sense! Come on! Brother Jingxiang!"
“Come, come, come!”
......
The house was bustling with activity, and outside, Zhuang Ganmei felt something in her heart.
"Ganmei, have you enjoyed your meal?" Wei Zhixin greeted.
"Oh, I'm done eating." Zhuang Ganmei nodded.
Wei Zhixin then called the boss over to pay.
"Let's go!" Wei Zhixin saw him standing there in a daze and called out again.
"Oh, Brother Wei, you go first. I'll find a place to relieve myself."
Zhuang Ganmei found an excuse and Wei Zhixin left first.
After Wei Zhixin left, he felt the money in his pocket and craned his neck to look at the food on the table in the room.
They are all vegetarian dishes and there are no meat dishes. A few little kids are just imitating adults.
Zhuang Ganmei chuckled, pretended to pass by the door, and then deliberately called out:
"Hey, Xiao Xiang!"
Everyone in the room looked at him.
Li Xiaoxiang also frowned and looked at him, as if he didn't know him.
"I'm Uncle Zhuang. We've met before and you've been to my house." Zhuang Ganmei introduced.
"Oh, Uncle Zhuang, you come to eat too!"
Li Xiaoxiang recognized him. They had met once before. It was arranged by matchmaker Wang. Pan Yuexiang insisted on asking him to go with her, actually because she wanted him to see the three rooms of the Zhuang family.
"Oh, yes, I just finished eating after discussing business with my friend. This is perfect. My uncle is treating us today. Boss, please add a few more dishes to the table." Zhuang Ganmei said generously.
When everyone in the room heard that someone was paying the bill, they were very happy, and Li Xiaoxiang also felt very proud.
"Uncle, then please sit down and eat something..." Li Xiaoxiang invited.
"I've eaten. Take your time. I'll give you more food, but I won't give you more wine. In my eyes, you are all still children and can't drink too much! I'll go and pay the bill."
Zhuang Ganmei turned around and left the house, busying herself with ordering more dishes and settling the bill.
When the people in the room saw him leave, they immediately came to Li Xiaoxiang and asked, "Who is it?"
"My mother's blind date." Li Xiaoxiang said without hesitation.
"Oh, not bad! Quite generous!"
"It seems he's attracted to your mother, otherwise he wouldn't be able to treat us."
"That's right."
"Who cares? As long as someone treats us!" Li Xiaoxiang laughed.
At this time, Zhuang Ganmei came back and said to the people in the room, "I've added some braised pork, braised duck, and braised eel slices for you. I've also paid the bill. Take your time to eat!"
"Thank you, uncle!" several people in the room responded.
"Uncle, have a drink! Come on, come on!"
Li Xiaoxiang felt a little embarrassed, so he pulled Zhuang Ganmei into the house.
"Then... I'll have a drink with you." Zhuang Ganmei sat down.
Among a few teenagers, he began to talk about his eight years in prison, how being beaten out of teeth turned into beating others out of teeth, and calling others "big brother" turned into being called "big brother"...
After a few drinks, he received many admiring looks, until he got drunk and fell on the table.
Everyone in the room had left, leaving only Zhuang Ganmei and Li Xiaoxiang, who were unconscious and drunk.
The small restaurant is also preparing to close.
At this time, two young men walked in.
Yuan Danli, a waitress who was doing the finishing work in the room, raised her eyelids, saw who was coming, and then pursed her lips towards the inner room.
One of the two men walked over, and the older one took advantage of the moment when Yuan Danli bent down to sweep under the table and put his hands on her waist.
"Lin Zhendong! There's someone here!" Yuan Danli straightened up and twisted her slender waist, trying to break free from Lin Zhendong's hand.
But Lin Zhendong was much stronger than her. He stuck to her from behind, and his hands changed from supporting her waist to tightly gripping her.
Yuan Danli had no choice but to pat his hands: "Stop making trouble, wait for me, go do your work, I will be done in a while."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and pack up, I'll wait for you!" Lin Zhendong let go of his hand with a lewd smile, and then walked towards the house.
Lin Zhenbei stuck his head out to take a look at his adoptive father who was unconscious in the room, and waved to Li Xiaoxiang.
Li Xiaoxiang patted Zhuang Ganmei and said:
"Uncle, wait for me, I'm going to the bathroom."
Zhuang Ganmei did not respond.
Li Xiaoxiang hurried out, and the two of them turned and went into a small house next to them.
Lin Zhenbei patted Li Xiaoxiang on the shoulder and said:
"Xiao Xiang, you can hold your liquor quite well! You knocked him out."
"I drink alcohol like I drink water. Don't worry, Brother Bei, he is not pretending. He sleeps like a pig and can't wake up." Li Xiaoxiang patted his chest and said.
Lin Zhendong also entered the room at this time. He immediately changed his expression and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Xiang, I've finished teaching you!"
"Don't worry, Brother Dong, I've told you everything. I took a few glances and saw him listening at the door with great interest. He even treated us to a meal, so he must have taken the bait." Li Xiaoxiang raised his eyebrows.
"Well done, Xiaoxiang. Then follow the plan. If you have anything to say, leave a letter for Lili in this restaurant." Lin Zhendong patted his shoulder.
"I understand, Brother Dong." Li Xiaoxiang nodded.
Li Xiaoxiang returned to the room and pulled Zhuang Ganmei up, put one of his hands on his shoulder, then helped him up and took him away.
Lin Zhenbei bumped into Lin Zhendong and said, "Brother, you are really amazing. You will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
Lin Zhendong sneered, "Fortunately, it's not his child. With his idiotic appearance, he's not worthy of being our father."
"That's right!" Lin Zhenbei nodded approvingly, "Do you think that kid Li Xiaoxiang can fool his mother?"
"Don't worry! Our good father will find a way, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to trick my mother into getting married from our biological father. What's more, the house and household registration are what Li Xiaoxiang's mother wants most, so they will definitely take the bait." Lin Zhenbei sneered.
As long as you are greedy, you will be deceived.
For Pan Yuexiang, Li Xiaoxiang and Zhuang Ganmei, it is the same.
