Chapter 20 The Dangerous Little Liar Since he is the most vicious one in the book...
The brined pork restaurant on Minghua Street was not located on Minghua Street before. Instead, it was located in an old neighborhood in an urban village, and its diners were all neighbors.
Later, the business was booming and they made a lot of money. The boss lady raised some money from various sources and moved to Ming Wah Street, near the office buildings in the financial center.
Ye Guowen chose to meet here because he knew that this restaurant had a different meaning to Ye Man.
Ye Man had the hardest time. After giving up the house his family rented, he worked as a shopkeeper under the cash register in the store where he worked. He would take out 5,000 yuan that he had saved by living frugally and give it to the boss's wife. He would rather go to the debt collector and beg for a one-month extension, promising that he would work hard and pay back the debt next month together with this month's, so as to keep the store afloat.
Although he was injured in the end, he finally got what he wanted.
The boss lady surnamed Li didn’t know about this. If she knew, she would definitely not take his money.
However, Ye Man had a face that never lied, and he was very good at talking. He could deceive people in many ways and told lies without thinking. What he told the landlady was pocket money given to him by Ye Guowen's wealthy relatives. He could make such an absurd thing sound like the truth, and even adults would be scared out of their wits.
Ye Guowen knew the truth. He heard it from the people at the loan company when he was borrowing money.
It's not surprising.
Ye Man did all this, wasn't it because one night, Ye Guowen came home drunk and wanted to beat them up, and it was the proprietress of this restaurant who took them in for a few nights?
Ye Guowen knows best what kind of person he is.
He is as stubborn as a donkey. He has not made any progress in all these years and is still the same as when he was a kid. When someone gives him a candy, he has to hide the candy wrapper under his quilt. I don't know why he treasures those useless things so much.
If someone does him the smallest favor, he will bear it in his mind for years, but if you give him a little sweet treat, he will follow them obediently.
Ever since the last fight, Ye Guowen is now a little afraid of Ye Man.
After the quarrel, he did meet once, when he met with Chi's family to discuss the issue of the two children. At that time, Ye Guowen and Ye Man had communicated and reconciled their words in advance, and Ye Man promised him that he could get a large sum of money, which made the negotiation end smoothly. Otherwise, according to Ye Guowen's temper, he would definitely make a big fuss.
The Chi family didn't notice why Ye Guowen's smile was so stiff at the time, nor did they know why he subconsciously looked away guiltily when he met Ye Man's lifeless eyes.
He didn't want to admit that he was afraid of a little bastard whose fur had not yet fully grown, but he instinctively chose a place with plenty of leaves and where he wouldn't go crazy easily.
At least in this place that means so much to him, and with people he cares about, Ye Man will act more obediently.
Ye Guowen arrived at the place a little early. It was noon, when the store was busy. After not seeing him for so many years, the proprietress still remembered him and warmly invited him to sit down. She served him a bowl of rice and picked up a large piece of brisket and cut it into pieces to form a small mountain.
Li Mingyan's face was filled with joy: "Oh, come and sit down, I didn't expect to see you again. Where's Xiaoman? Why didn't he come with you? How is he doing now?"
Li Mingyan looked down on Ye Guowen, but when she thought of the 5,000 yuan, which Ye Man said was given by Ye Guowen's relatives, she should be grateful.
Ye Guowen was not polite at all and said proudly: "Xiao Man will be here soon. He is doing well now. He has a great opportunity and has become a rich young master. He is different from the lower class people like us."
Li Mingyan smiled and joked: "When the eldest master comes later, you must pick out the most flavorful and tender meat for our young master."
While we were talking, my daughter, who is now in junior high school, came back from her lunch break to eat.
Li Mingyan took a wet towel from the drain and wiped her daughter's red face. She brought out the meal she had prepared in advance, "Minmin, do you still remember your brother Xiaoman? He held you in his arms when you were little."
Zheng Min said brightly: "Remember! My handsome brother!"
"Yes, that's him. This is your brother Xiaoman's father, Uncle Ye. Your brother Xiaoman will be here soon..."
There was a rhythmic knocking sound outside the door, left and right, from far away to near.
The mother and daughter were attracted by the sound and looked up at the door at the same time.
Seeing the person appearing at the door, Li Mingyan was about to let out a joyful cry, but she stopped abruptly when she touched the blind stick and the boy's dazed eyes.
The young man who appeared at the doorway was thinner than before, perhaps because he had grown up. He had delicate features and cold white skin. When he was quiet and silent, he looked like a beautiful and fragile porcelain, standing quietly under the light. People were attracted to him at first glance, and their eyes could not help but linger on his side, reluctant to look away.
"A star? Are you here to film a show?"
"He looks a bit unfamiliar, does anyone know him?"
It's not uncommon to run into celebrities in a place like Beijing, so even though people in the store couldn't help but look at him, it wasn't too offensive or a big deal.
However, Ye Man froze for a moment, holding on to his cane tightly, and tried hard to resist the urge to hide in a corner.
"Xiaoman......?" Li Mingyan was hesitant, a little afraid to recognize her.
The Chi family stuffed a lot of clothes into his closet, and arranged them for him one set at a time, so he didn't have to search for them one by one. They were all new luxury goods of the season. When worn by a clothes hanger like Ye Man, his temperament became even more outstanding and he looked noble.
Li Mingyan didn't dare to recognize him, but it wasn't because he looked much more expensive.
Eyes, and a hand in a cast.
No matter how you look at it, it's far from what Ye Guowen described.
Ye Man tilted his ears and his eyes immediately narrowed: "Aunt Li, it's me, long time no see!"
He raised his voice, and his whole person became cheerful and filled with a sweet atmosphere.
Li Mingyan's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and she quickly walked over and sat down at Ye Guowen's table: "Hurry up and sit down, Xiaoman, you...you...eyes..."
Ye Guowen paused with his chopsticks.
Ye Man nodded and looked up pitifully: "My eyes are injured and I can't see. Aunt Li, can I have two pieces of meat today?"
Seeing him like this, Li Mingyan cried out in pain: "Okay, okay, don't just say two pieces, I'll give you twenty pieces. Come every day, and I'll make as much as you want!"
Li Mingyan went to serve him some rice. Ye Man's face suddenly turned cold. Ye Guowen, who was standing next to him, looked as if he was used to it. He rubbed his hands and said, "I'm a little short of money recently, Xiao Man, you see..."
The Chi family naturally found out about Ye Guowen's debt problem, cleared his debts, and gave him a sum of money that Ye Guowen could never earn in his lifetime. However, the Chi family could not understand a person like Ye Guowen, who was addicted to gambling, lazy, shameless, and could not afford to spend any amount of money.
Your adopted son is the biological son of a wealthy family, and he is a noble and wealthy young man. Can you just watch him get beaten to death and do nothing about him?
With someone backing them up, they gambled more recklessly.
Now that he had money and enjoyed unprecedented treatment, he was flattered for a while and became a wealthy man who spent money like water. It would be extremely uncomfortable for Ye Guowen to go back to his previous life of frugality.
After losing everything, the first person I thought of was Ye Man.
In the past, he would never have begged in such a humble manner.
He usually didn't go home for half a year, but once he came home he would rush in without saying a word and take everything by force. He kept saying that he would definitely return the money to Ye Man when he had money and became rich, as if Ye Man was so vicious and unfilial that she would rather see his legs broken than give it to him.
Ye Man knew, however, that if he took the money, he would never be able to see it again.
It was the same last time.
That was money he had saved for a long time, and after trying every possible means, he finally agreed with the debt collector that after paying off this last sum, all debts would be written off and they should not come to him again regarding Ye Guowen's affairs.
Ye Guowen somehow knew that he still had money, and he set his sights on it.
My eyes were injured because I was trying to compete with Ye Guowen for the money.
Ye Man raised his lips, but his tone was cold. He touched the pair of scissors in his pocket and said, "Ye Guowen, I'm ashamed that you dare to come to see me. Do you think that in Aunt Li's shop, I dare not do anything and will let you take it obediently?"
"Brother Tong, you said that I am the worst and most vicious person in this book, right?" Ye Man asked softly in his heart.
The system is inexplicably nervous.
"That's what the script says."
"Then I must be very strong and powerful. That's what vicious cannon fodder is like. They make people hate them, but they can't be killed."
"......Ye Man, what are you going to do?" The system felt a little uneasy.
Ye Guowen also asked the same question: "Ye Man, what do you want to do?"
Ye Man approached Ye Guowen with a smile and said, "I'll send you to jail."
"It's a shame that you dared to find so many witnesses. In front of everyone, in front of everyone, you say, a weak blind person, and a strong middle-aged man with a history of domestic violence, will they believe me or you?"
Ye Guowen felt something cool on his hand, and something was stuffed into his palm. He widened his eyes.
The system hissed, "Ye Man, calm down first!"
Ye Man's expression changed instantly, tears welled up in his eyes: "Dad, what are you going to do!"
Outside the door.
On the road, he accidentally met a miserable and pitiful little liar walking alone on the road. Xu Huaiting had an idea and followed him all the way, ready to see what he was going to do secretly. His eyes suddenly became sharp.
Secretary Chen only heard a curse beginning with the Chinese character “fuck”, and the next second, his boss who was sitting in the back of the car rushed out without thinking.
