At the wine table, Hao Zhengguang was already drunk and shaking his head with blurry eyes. He ignored the filth he vomited and wiped his mouth before raising his glass to drink again.
Hearing You Tianfu's shout, he was also stunned for a moment, then turned around and stared blankly for a long while: "Brother Tian? Is it really you?"
Several guests around him covered their mouths and noses in extreme dissatisfaction. You Tianfu quickly apologized on Hao Zhengguang's behalf, then pulled him to a relatively secluded corner of the bar and asked, "When did you get out? How did you end up like this?"
Hao Zhengguang looked very depressed, and he smelled strange. He could only be described as unkempt and slovenly. He grabbed a few more bottles of beer and drank them while recounting what had happened to him.
While in prison, Lü Chuan helped You Tianfu to some extent, allowing him to be released a year early. However, Hao Zhengguang, unaware of the situation, believed he had diligently reformed and deserved a reduced sentence. Despite his repeated rejections, he refused to give up, submitting new requests weekly and actively responding to all prison policies.
Perhaps hard work pays off. A month later, his persistence and good performance were finally recognized by the warden. After a series of tedious procedures, he left the prison smoothly.
In Hao Zhengguang's heart, he still loved Li Huanhuan and thought that she had cheated on Zhao Hui because she was momentarily confused. Now that Liu Hui was dead and it had been a long time since the incident, he walked home with a glimmer of hope for Li Huanhuan in his heart.
On the way, he specially bought a bouquet of roses, thinking that if Li Huanhuan had been waiting for him at home for the past two years, he would feel full of strength.
But ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Standing in front of his own door, the familiar key could no longer open the familiar door lock. He was fiddling with it back and forth, and the door was opened, and Li Huanhuan appeared in front of him in pajamas.
Looking at his wife, whom he had not seen for two years, Hao Zhengguang was about to release his emotions when another man came into view and asked gently, "Baby, who is it?"
Seeing Hao Zhengguang, Li Huanhuan was stunned for a few seconds, but then she regained her composure, turned around and went into the house and took out a divorce agreement: "I have already signed it. Let's part ways amicably. I am very happy now. I hope you won't bother me anymore..."
This scene was something Hao Zhengguang had never expected. All his longings suddenly turned to rage, and he clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. Li Huanhuan's eyes lit up with fear, the scene of Zhao Hui being chased and hacked was still vivid in her mind, so she subconsciously closed the security door.
After a few seconds of silence, Hao Zhengguang unclenched his fist. He was no longer the impulsive man he used to be. Or rather, he had already seen clearly that the woman in front of him was not worth his risking his life again and again.
He nodded slightly in agreement and calmly turned and left.
Although he appeared calm on the outside, his heart was completely broken. The woman who had been with him through thick and thin had betrayed him. He didn't know what else in this world was worth clinging to. He felt extremely depressed, with nowhere to vent, so he simply gave in to complete decadence. He spent his days sleeping and drinking, using large amounts of alcohol to numb all his feelings.
Countless days and nights passed like this. Hao Zhengguang couldn't even remember how many bar owners had driven him out to the streets. He spent all his few thousand yuan in savings on drinking. He had lost hope in everything and hope for life, but unexpectedly, he met his friend Tianfu at the Cold Fireworks Bar!
After hearing his story, You Tianfu sighed deeply and took a deep swig from the bottle. "You can't blame anyone else for this. A good horse doesn't return to the old pasture. You should have recognized what kind of woman Li Huanhuan was from the time of Zhao Hui's incident. When you were in prison, weren't you full of lofty ambitions to revive the country? How come you've become such a mess after you got out? Not to mention Li Huanhuan, I even look down on you!"
There are so many good women in the world, why do you have to hang yourself on Li Huanhuan's tree? Maybe there will be better ones waiting for you in the future! "
Hao Zhengguang gave a bitter laugh. "A good woman? I've finally seen clearly that there are no good women in this world. Look at those women in the distance. They're just two pieces of cloth covering their bodies. They'll live with you as long as you have money! Only one of them is dressed decently, but sooner or later, they'll be stripped naked by their boss using his 'money power'..."
"Just because I got a sour tooth from eating an orange, you dare to say that the oranges on this tree are not sweet? Brother, look at it more positively. Who knows, that girl might be a breath of fresh air in this bar. Look at how she looks..." Halfway through his words, You Tianfu focused his gaze on the distance, and when he saw the girl the two men were talking about, his eyes widened immediately.
Because that girl was none other than Hua Xiaohong who had not been seen for two days!
In this environment, Hua Xiaohong's appearance has completely changed. She is no longer her usual simple and elegant appearance. Instead, she wears a black leather jacket and heavy makeup. Although her appearance is as sexy and graceful as other hostesses, her every move still shows that she is not used to this kind of clothing and work.
Hua Xiaohong did not sit next to the guests and drink with them like other girls. Instead, she held a wine tray and passed wine back and forth on the dance floor. From time to time, she was touched on the thigh and slapped on the butt by obscene people, but she just walked away as quickly as possible.
You Tianfu saw the whole thing and felt anxious and angry. He could never have imagined that Hua Xiaohong would work in such a place. He strode over, grabbed her arm and walked out.
After leaving the dance floor and returning to the corner of the bar, Hua Xiaohong saw that the other person was You Tianfu. Her eyes instantly turned red and tears flowed down like a dam breaking. Without saying anything, she threw herself into his arms and sobbed.
You Tianfu hugged her, his heart and eyes full of love, and comforted her for a long time before asking what had happened.
It turned out that after Dalong smashed up Jushan Hall, Hua Zhongyi was so angry at the messy clinic and the mixed herbs that he fainted. After arriving at the hospital, he was diagnosed with sudden cerebral congestion and was directly sent to the ICU. It was unknown whether he could wake up.
The grandfather and grandson had saved some money over the years, but the passbook and password were taken away by Dr. Hua Zhongyi. Since he was unconscious, they could not withdraw money for medical treatment. The few hundred dollars in Hua Xiaohong's hand were not even enough to cover the hospital fees.
When Dalong smashed the store, he also smashed Hua Xiaohong's mobile phone, causing her to be unable to contact her friends. She had no choice but to find a job to make money.
Of all the jobs available, bars and KTVs undoubtedly offered the highest salaries for a young and beautiful girl like Hua Xiaohong. The owner of the Cold Fireworks Bar even gave her a month's salary in advance, helping her out of a tight spot. So, despite being completely unaccustomed to the work environment and nature of the job, Hua Xiaohong had no choice but to persevere, darting around the bar like a frightened bird...
Before Hua Xiaohong could finish, You Tianfu's eyes turned red. He touched the dagger in his arms and had an idea in his mind...
